View segment →Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization so far. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a finer time in the history of the 13.9 billion years of this universe and before that. But if you'd like to take this up to a level that no one's ever seen, all you need for that is a coffee mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice, tumbler, can or jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the divine elixir of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now.
Yeah, we're all good now. It's all coming together. All right, let's look at the news. The silly stuff and the serious stuff.
Well, I like to follow the AI news on several accounts on the X platform. One of them is Rowan Cheung, who's a good follow. He reports that Apple is reportedly building an LLM, so an AI that will be completely on the device. So your phone will not have to talk to anything to be smart. It will be AI on its own. And that could be a really big deal if you're not sure why. Because first of all, the speed would be completely different. If you've had the experience of trying to have a conversation with an AI, here's my impression of it. "Hey AI, how are you this morning?" "I am very good. How are you?" "Well, I'm pretty good too. You know, what's the news today?" "The weather will be 59 degrees." And that awkward pause just completely ruins the conversational element. You know you're talking to a computer because of the pause. But if it runs all locally and it's got the same speed as conversational speed, it's going to be pretty awesome.
And it will give you better privacy, presumably.
Are you following the story of Grace Price? She's the teenage kid who's, well, I don't know if teenage is, is she still a kid? I don't know if she's 18 or not. But she's got a documentary about how our lifestyle and food especially are giving us cancer. And she had a stat that she has from a source, she didn't make it up herself, that says that up to 95% of cancer is caused by your lifestyle and environmental factors. And there's a pool of studies that show that that's the case. Does that sound right to you? Yeah, Grace Price is her name. Do you think that 95% of cancer is caused by lifestyle and food? It's not impossible. To me it sounds high but not crazy. It could be that high.
But here's what I feel about her. You know, when Greta was talking about climate change, I thought to myself, this isn't really helping because I want to hear from scientists and people who know what they're talking about. But then when Grace Price does her thing, I'm totally on board. Should I be using the same standard with her as I do with Greta? Or is it because I think that Greta might be wrong and I think that Grace Price is right that I'm judging her expertise by just confirmation bias? And the answer is yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. But I'm aware of it. You know that sometimes the best you can do about your own bias is just to do a little audit and say to yourself, all right, if this situation were a little different or if this person telling me were a little different, would I be receiving this differently? And the answer is yes. So basically I'm hearing what I want to hear from Grace Price. And so to me it all looks very scientific and factual. And by the way, I really think that. But I'm also aware that if I were wrong, I would think the same thing. So I've got that little bit of self-filter. But it's not stopping me. I still say she looks right to me. But just be aware of it.
Well, I think the concept, the topic of loneliness is becoming a bigger and bigger issue. And I think there's no end in sight for that. There's nothing that looks like it's changing it immediately. It will get fixed like everything. We'll fix the loneliness problem. But even Kathy Griffin was saying in public, and somehow I think this is useful. I like it when public figures talk about their own experience. I like it less when public figures tell me what kind of apples to eat and stuff like that because I think they're outside their expertise. But when somebody just tells me about their own experience and it's some universal relatable thing, yeah, do that please.
So here's what Kathy Griffin says. And by the way, I remind you I know that a lot of you have a political opinion about her that's negative. But I've worked with her. She was the voice of Alice in the Dilbert animated show. And I really like her. So Kathy Griffin in person, very, very likable. You'd like her too. Anyway, she says, I guess she got divorced recently. She says, divorced women, I'm talking to you. I am four months divorced and I feel weak because I just can't get used to waking up alone in the hotel room, blah blah blah. And I'm having trouble adjusting. Any of you ladies out there, how did you get to a place where you can enjoy waking up alone? And she has some dogs. She brings one with her.
She says, now without dwelling on her specific case, I like the fact that she could be a famous public figure and that she can say with great vulnerability that loneliness is really a crippling problem for a lot of people.
Now the only thing I can add to this story that would be useful is that, as you know, I have a subscription service on the Locals platform, scottadams.locals.com. Many of them are watching right now. But I also do, for the subscribers, I do a private man cave just about every night from my garage-slash-man-cave. And although I didn't design it this way, it wasn't designed for this purpose, there's a good rule in marketing that the audience tells you what your product is. If you've ever heard that, you don't tell your customers what your product is. You try. I mean, that's what marketing is. But in the end they tell you what the product is. They tell you why they bought it and what it's good for and why they're going to buy it again.
And apparently the man cave turned into a lot of people who don't have anybody to talk to during the day. It has something like a personal experience because when I do the man caves I'm just interacting with the comments the entire time. So it's like a conversation for shy people. Like if you're not brave enough to go out and make a friend or join a group or be part of some larger organization where you just meet people, you can do it with me. So I've sort of morphed my ambitions for the man cave, which honestly was just for me. I started doing the man cave just because I thought it'd be nice to chat with people and be fun. But I've learned that its importance to several hundred people is that sometimes it's the only human-like experience they have during the entire day. The only human experience. So it feels like a necessity at this point.
So I'd invite any of you who want to subscribe to that. It's pretty much every night at different times, but California time usually between 4:30 and 6:30 I start anyway.
RFK Jr. was at a Michigan rally and he says provocatively, I'm going to put the entire US budget on blockchain so that every American can look at every budget item in the entire budget anytime they want, 24 hours a day. And then you can see if things cost too much or we wasted money. Now I like where that's heading. And I love how RFK Jr. gets earned media. Now whether or not this specific idea is ever implemented, don't you love the fact that he said it in public? This is what I call the bad idea that's a good idea. Meaning that in a sort of Hollywood writer's terms, sometimes you throw on a bad idea to give you something to react to and say, well not that, but it reminds me of something that would actually work.
So I love the fact he's throwing out this idea. If you ask me is blockchain the right way to do it and all that, I don't know. I don't know. My first instinct is blockchain would probably just slow it down. And I don't know exactly what you're buying by having it on the blockchain. So I'd have questions about the specifics. But I love the fact that he's putting it out there and it's provocative and it turns it into a story. So he gets all this free publicity. I'm talking about it in a positive way.
But I would go further. If you want to control the government, build a dashboard. If you want to control the whole government, build a dashboard. One dashboard that shows you the key political things. The budgets, the status, the laws that are coming, who voted for what. But you'd have to design it so well that it's not overwhelming. The way to do it wrong is there'd be a solid page of government boring data and you'd have to look for whatever you wanted and it'd be just so boring and busy you couldn't use it.
But suppose you open it up and it was, let's say, four to six charts that just showed you the direction of things. And let's say one of the charts is crime. So you could click on it and then you could explode it by city. Maybe you could look at it by Democrat versus Republican. That'd be a little more provocative. But I'd love to do that to find out whose policies seem to be working. And imagine if you could just drill down on all of those questions. And then at the bottom you could get the best pro and con argument on that topic. So the data itself doesn't tell you the story. You still need the interpretation. But you want the best ones.
So imagine if you had that dashboard that anybody, any citizen, can log into and you can just see everything that's going on money-wise. I think it'd be amazing. Anyway, so I think whoever builds that dashboard will necessarily control the world. Because what you put on the front page will be what everybody cares about. So effectively you could front-run all of the news. You could make the news entities useless by simply having a dashboard that wouldn't be the news per se. But if you were the one who controlled what got highlighted and what got put down in priority, you would effectively control the country. Because if you wanted to highlight, for example, we wasted a bunch of money on this thing, you just put it on the front page and say it's just the dashboard. So that's how easy it would be to control the whole country.
Rasmussen did some polls on whether people thought Trump was going to get a fair trial in New York City. 42% of US voters think that it's likely Trump will be able to get a fair trial. 42%. I don't know how good you are at math but let me fill you in. 42 is less than half. Less than half of the citizens polled in the United States, voters, likely voters, don't believe that it's even possible to get a fair trial in New York City if you're Trump.
Now how many people do you think say not only would Trump get a fair trial but it's very likely? What percentage do you think say it's very likely Trump will get a fair trial in New York City? Let's see how close you can get on this guess. Very good, very good. Yeah, a lot of you are guessing 25% and it's 27%. It's 27%. Yeah, but I'm going to round that off and say your 25 is correct. And once again your brilliance, if not your sex appeal, is coming through again. Let me say that the sapiosexuals who were attracted to intelligent people are probably just having quite a time now. Because when they see how smart you are, that you can answer a question like that with no prior knowledge, you just all knew it was around the quarter. Amazing, amazing.
But 51% think that Trump won't get a fair trial and 31% say it's not at all likely. Now here's my thing. If you have a situation in which the general public, which is pretty much paying attention because it's Trump, they are paying attention, if more than half say he can't get a fair trial, how in the world do you put him in jail if he's convicted? If more than half of the people watching say it's probably not fair, how do you do that? You can't maintain the system if you put them in jail while people think it's unfair or very likely to be unfair. So it seems to me that should be grounds for challenging it. But I don't think legally it is, is it?
I go back to the interesting story of how speed limits are determined in residential neighborhoods. I think I've told you this before. Maybe it's just a California thing, I don't know. But the way they determine a speed limit in a new road, if it's a residential, not a freeway because those are just standard speeds, but in the neighborhoods they'll actually monitor how people actually drive before they put up the speed limit signs. And they say, okay, it looks like people just naturally think they can drive 45 on the street, so we'll lower it to 35 because we know they'll cheat a little bit. So the idea here is that you create a law that you believe people will accept as reasonable because you looked at all the reasons, subtracted 10. Everybody knows you subtracted 10. Everybody's happy.
So a very good way to run a country is to see if people think it would be fair and then do the thing that most people think would be fair. That's stable. But if you do the thing that most people, literally a majority, think is not likely to be fair and you do it right in front of them, that's your worst case scenario. Worst case scenario. They're doing that right in front of us.
Well, let's talk about the plot to make Bidenomics look good. Zero Hedge is talking about commercial real estate foreclosures at their highest level in a decade. I don't know how big a deal that is yet. If you say the highest in a decade, because we do go through periods of better and worse for real estate. But it's not good. Certainly not good.
And a lot of people ask the question, why don't they just turn them into public housing? You know, why don't you just turn all these offices into condos? And the answer is the only way that would work according to Goldman is if you drop the prices 50%. So in other words you can charge way more for a business office per square foot than you can for a condo. So yes it's physically possible to change them into housing but you would lose your entire economic point of it. So actually you can't. The only way you can do it is if everybody who owns these goes broke and then the value of the thing goes down and then somebody buys it for a penny on the dollar and then they can turn it into residential housing.
So also wrong plumbing, as somebody's pointing out. Now anything can be fixed. Wrong plumbing could be turned into right plumbing at some expense but very expensive. All right. But it does look like, as Zero Hedge notes, that the Fed and everybody are probably trying to just push the problem forward so that Trump's in office when it collapses. It looks like a setup. It looks like they know it's going to collapse and if they could just hold it off until Trump gets elected it's his problem. Because I think 90% of politics is hoping that the economy did well during your rule so you can say it is what you did. Because I honestly I can't really think of anything that Bidenomics did. I mean that you know in theory it lowered some drug prices but I don't think that's resounding through the economy in general.
So a lot of it is the Dilbert filter on things. Things happen because they're going to happen anyway and then the leaders take credit for it. That's the way the real world works. People take credit for things that were going to happen anyway. That's how everything works.
So let's check in on the plot to assassinate Trump. Now as you know the plot to assassinate Trump is to make it look like an accident. So they're trying to talk him up as a threat to democracy so that lots of people have a reason to kill him because they think he's Hitler. So first you create the motivation and you brainwash millions of people into thinking, oh my God, if I could stop Hitler I could do it. So that part we see in action. That's the whole he's trying to ruin democracy thing.
Here's AOC talking about it. She said Trump, who seeks to dismantle American democracy, I am taking that personally very seriously because we will not be able to organize for any movement toward anything if we are facing the jailing of dissidents. This is the kind of authoritarianism that he threatens. We have to take it seriously. The jailing of dissidents. Where have I seen something like that happen before? The jailing of dissidents. Well a dissident would be like a protester. A protester. Where have I seen a protester being put in jail for protesting? Oh, the entire January 6 hoax in which the thoroughly corrupt members of Congress who should all be in jail, the ones on the January 6 committee should definitely be in jail. And if Trump only does one thing and he puts them all in jail for real crimes, I don't want him to make up any crimes, has to be a real crime, but that would be one of the best things that happened in the country. And if it ripped the country apart I'm okay with that. Totally down for that.
See here's the thing with somebody calling your bluff. You've got to call them on it. It's your only choice. Otherwise they own you. If people can scare you and bluff you and threaten you and make you change what you do, well they own you. If you don't want to be owned you've got to punch them in the teeth, so to speak. Not really, no violence. So obviously the January 6 people were jailed for being dissidents. This is another case. We've seen so many of the Democrats accusing Republicans of exactly what they're doing as they're talking. As she's talking her team is putting dissidents in jail.
Now what would be the example of where any Republican has put a dissident in jail? I can't think of any. Can you think of any? Even one? Oh maybe Assange but that wasn't really just a Republican thing and he wasn't a citizen so that's a little bit different. And we didn't put him in jail so that is different.
All right. So part one of trying to kill Trump is going well for the Democrats. Because the Democrats can say this out loud without being challenged, at least without being challenged by their own team. They can say that Trump is trying to dismantle democracy. Now as Mike Benz has taught you, that creates the predicate so that the intelligence people can do everything that they would do internationally to other countries. They can do it internally because hey, if you're trying to save democracy you've got to pull out all the stops.
So this is when you see the Democrats say he's trying to get rid of democracy because he's an authoritarian. Because of his authoritarianism. You should interpret that as an op. It's part of the brainwashing of America and it's to get him killed or jailed. And that's what it is. And there's no other way to see it really if you're even a little bit aware of what's happening.
So that's now. How about the plot to jail him? So Jonathan Turley is talking about that. So if they don't jail him and get him killed in prison they're going to try to kill him on the outside by making people think he's Hitler and also by taking away his Secret Service protection. So the Democrats are trying to do all three: paint him as Hitler, take away his Secret Service protection, and just as an insurance policy try to put him in jail on fake charges or trumped-up charges.
So Jonathan Turley is talking about the fact that Bragg the DA is going to start talking to David Pecker who is the head of the National Enquirer who is part of the story. Now as Turley points out, Pecker's part of the story has nothing to do with the charges. Do you understand that? So Pecker had to do with the suppressing of the story of Stormy Daniels but there are no charges and no law broken to suppress the story. So nobody's in trouble for suppressing the story. And the one and only thing that David Pecker knows is that part, that there was an effort to suppress the story about Stormy Daniels. But since there's no crime involved with that and it doesn't tell you anything about the other crimes, why is that the first witness? Why would he be the first witness if nothing he has to say is relevant to any of the crimes that are being charged?
Well because you're watching a porno and all pornos start the same. So Bragg is the fluffer and his job is to get the Pecker situation all firmed up. So he's got to get that Pecker situation all firmed up. So Bragg being the fluffer, you'll get that going. And that's really just to prepare you for the we're all going to get. So you always start by firming up the Pecker before giving the good hard that the public is waiting for. And Trump of course. So that makes sense.
Meanwhile on Meet the Press the fake news is having trouble supporting their own fake polls. Because here's just a current poll that was presented on Meet the Press. So their own people are presenting their own results it looked like. And I read this on Eric Aban's post. He's a good follow too on X. So here are some of the things. So comparing Trump to Biden on handling a crisis, Trump is up 46 to 42. Who is strong, who has a strong record as president? Trump is better 46 to 39. Who is competent and effective? Trump is better 47 to 36. That's a pretty big difference. On competent and effective. Dealing with inflation and cost of living, Trump by a mile 52 compared to 30. And then has the necessary mental and physical health, Trump by a mile 45% to 26.
Now I don't think you need to brag about 45% think that you're mentally and physically capable. But in the context of politics there's a big difference. It does suggest that even the Democrats think that Biden is degraded. Now imagine if you will that you've polled the public on each of these individual qualities of president and they do look like the important ones, right? Handling a crisis, strong record, competent, effective, mentally healthy, physical, dealing with inflation. And those are the important things. That's all the big stuff. And Trump dominates all the big tops. So wouldn't that suggest that the election isn't going to be anywhere near close? What did the polls tell you? Oh it's basically a tie. How in the world are we supposed to believe any of this? That the detailed polling shows Trump just annihilating Biden on all the important stuff. All of it. There's nothing that Biden's leading on. And yet the polls are basically close. Biden's actually leading in some polls. How in the world can we explain this polling? It looks like the polling is completely fake, at least some of it. I mean I assume that the top number is the fake. If the bottom number shows that Trump is leading on everything that matters, how in the world could he be tied in the polling? Because you'd think that if the same people who were just pro-Biden, they knew they were doing a poll that involved Trump and Biden, wouldn't they also say that Biden was winning on the individual categories? Wouldn't they? If you were in the bag for Biden and you just want to say Trump bad Biden good you would say that Biden was healthier. You'd say he's better for the economy. But they're not even willing to do that and he's still tied. Okay, there's something deeply wrong with what we're seeing. I don't know what it is. I really don't.
Well let's check in on all the conspiracy theories. I swear to God, you know sometimes it's hard to have a conservative sort of Republican audience because you know you guys, and I'm talking to all of you, you know you guys have some wild conspiracy theories. Am I right? Like one of them is that the government and especially the Democrats are packed with a bunch of sex offenders that haven't been caught yet. It's like some big pedophile conspiracy theory. Like you guys will believe anything. You're believing that the top people in the Democrat Party are a whole bunch of pedos. Crazy.
Well next story is that President Obama's former senior policy advisor Ramin Shai has been charged with child, oh okay, okay. Well maybe you're right sometimes. Okay I'm going to give you this one. All right I'll give you this. Turns out it's a whole party full of exactly what you thought. So yeah, Colin Rugg was reporting this on X. So the senior policy advisor is being charged with sex offenses. Let's just say he had some bad stuff on his computer. Some bad stuff. And he worked on the US strategy to combat terrorism and terrorists. So while he was helping us fight Al-Qaeda and the Taliban the children were fighting him off or something like that I guess. There were some kind of allegations. They're allegations. People, he's innocent till proven guilty. So take your conspiracy theories even though they look suspiciously supportable. Anyway he wasn't in charge of ordering the pizza and hot dogs for Obama but you know where that story's going.
Well thankfully the Democrats are trying to get those corrupt Republicans out of office by having a sweep and winning everything in 2024. And oh here's a story about Ted Lieu. He's accused of using donor money to give $50,000 donation to Stanford who then soon after admitted his child to Stanford. So that's probably a coincidence am I right? And I tell you when I give money to a politician what I'm really hoping the politician spends it on is bribing a college to get his kid into it. Now there's no evidence that's what happened. That's simply an allegation and we have a correlation but not a causation. It could be that he loves Stanford so much that he wanted to give them money and he had this donor money so he gave him that. It had nothing to do with the admission of his child. Innocent until proven guilty right? Sometimes it's hard to say innocent till proven guilty but let's try to keep that standard.
Well if you're watching the protester situation at Columbia University, I'm not sure I'd call it protesting so much as anti-Semitism. And it's become super dangerous and scary if you're a Jewish student or even if you're Jewish and anywhere near that situation. But apparently they built a tent city in the middle of the campus. An orthodox rabbi who I guess is associated with Columbia and Barnard, he sent out a WhatsApp message to 290 Jewish students and he said maybe they should go home until it's safe to go to college. He actually said you should consider going home and just dropping out of college until it's safe and then come back. Now that's not a very practical suggestion for most people. You can't really easily drop out of college if that's your whole plan right? But that's how bad it is now.
You might say to yourself, Scott this is terrible because not only have the protesters created a highly anti-Semitic situation and it's scary and there actually been physical attacks on Jewish students etc. I think somebody at Yale got stabbed at a protest. So it's getting really dicey. But as bad as it is now I don't think you should be super worried yet. I wouldn't worry until the Columbia tent people start digging tunnels. If you hear that the Columbia protesters have started to build tunnels then that's the next level of worrying. I would take your concern up to another level. Right now I would put it at the level of seriously, seriously concerning and must be fixed immediately. But I think if they start building tunnels under the tents I'd take that up another level at least one more DEFCON. So that's my standard. Once they got tunnels then you got to worry.
All right anyway. But I think that if they do build tunnels I think there's a theoretical number of migrants who could be urinating outdoors that would flood the tunnels. Anyway let's not solve it yet. Let's wait till it's a problem.
The Democrats have a new campaign ad showing a young woman who's trying to go to another state to get an abortion because Alabama law would prohibit it. And the theatrical approach that the advertising campaign is taking is that you see the pregnant woman being stopped by the Alabama police saying you can't cross state lines to get an abortion and she's like frisked and arrested. Now apparently that's not yet a law but there are allegedly, can you give me a fact check on this, allegedly that Alabama is looking at making it illegal to go to another state to get an abortion where it is illegal. Is that actually something that Republicans are dumb enough to do? Is that actually being discussed? Because I have trouble believing that. It sounds like just something made up. Right now I wouldn't be surprised if there are some people who have suggested it because there's always some people who suggest everything. But I can't imagine there's any serious effort in Alabama to stop somebody from driving across the state line. Is there? Can anybody give me a fact check on that? Is there? Because I'd ask some serious questions if that's the case. Regardless of what you think about abortion your state can't stop you from driving to another state and doing what's legal in that state. There's no way that that's going to be a law is it? I don't know. We've seen some crazy things but I can't imagine that would become a law.
Meanwhile at Steve Bannon's War Room there's some new information from Kurt Olson. He's an attorney and I guess he's got some new information. You've probably heard this before but what's new is that they're using the updated information about the Dominion machines. Their claims about them, allegations I'll call them, that they found some data security issues. I'll tell you what they are in a moment. And that they're updating some Supreme Court filings. So there's some kind of Supreme Court case that is being pushed forward. Doesn't mean the Supreme Court will take it. It's just an application of some sort for them to take it. But of course they don't take most things so we'll see.
But here are the claims. So Kurt Olson says his security experts have found the following. That in the 2020 and 2022 elections Dominion used altered software and lied about it. That's the allegation. Meaning that they said they were using one version of software but the actual election was run on a different version. Now is that a problem? That's like a really big problem. That's as big as you can get. If the system was checked out for security with one version of software and then ran a different version that's the same as not checking it for security. I mean or at least it leaves a big hole.
But that's not the only thing. Also in those last two elections they said they performed pre-election tests on the machines which would sound like they tested all the machines before the election. That's how I interpret that. But the claim is that they didn't. They didn't test the machines. They only tested some spares. In other words they only tested machines that were not used in the election and said they tested the machines used in the election by testing machines that were not used in the election. Is that a problem? Yeah could be kind of sketchy.
But then the third one is the funniest one. That the claim is that the master encryption key was left open in plain text. That anyone who knew where to look could find out how to have god control over the entire election simply by knowing where to look. They wouldn't have to hack anything. They just have to know where to look. And it was so unsecure the claim is that you could have changed anything happening in the system without detection.
Now do you believe that? Now I'm going to say that there's some pushback on the claim that you could do massive election machine cheating and not get caught because there are some controls. There are some audits. There are some checks. So it does seem to me that some types of misbehavior would get caught. But does that mean that every kind of cheating can get caught? Because if you could check the counting machines as well as the voting machines and I think it was all part of one network so you could you had control of more than one kind of machine, the vote and also the count of the vote. Do you think that the allegation will stand that you could change something in the voting machines that wouldn't be detected? So the wouldn't be detected part is the part I think would be the hardest to prove because I would imagine that Dominion will have some kind of argument that sounds like well yeah you can make those changes but we would obviously catch them. So we'll see if that's a good argument. But I think that would be the argument. But what else would it be right? If it were you you would argue yeah we would catch that and here's how we would catch it. So I don't know if this is enough to get it into the court.
However anybody who's making a claim that the election systems are secure is going to have to deal with the fact that they found three potential problems. That don't mean they were exploited. So remember separate the two topics. One topic is did anybody do anything bad on the election and the other topic is could they, was it possible but maybe they just didn't do it. And I think the question was it possible is looking more credible than it has before.
But remember all these election claims they almost all turn out not to be true. So if we were look at it from the 30,000 foot level and I said hey there's another claim about the election you should bet against it. Do you agree? If I said there's another claim but I didn't give you any details about the elections what would you bet? Well the smart bet you know is 20 to 1 in favor of it not being conclusive. So we'll see. These are pretty big claims.
But then Steve Bannon asked the question would Murdoch have won that gigantic Fox News case in which Tucker was saying things about the security of the election systems. Would Murdoch have won that case if he had had these three pieces of information and he could have said in that trial well we don't know what happened but here's your security key right here. Imagine if during the trial where Fox News was under fire for saying the election machines were not secure, imagine if the defense had pulled out a document and they said you know your encryption security key, here it is. And then just walk in front of the jury. Not that they could read the digits. Would just say look here's the encryption key. Do you know who had access to this? Everybody who knew where to look. Wouldn't that be the end of the case? Like how could you sit in the jury and let, and let's say that that evidence held up against cross-examination and everything. If that held up that it really was there and if you knew where to look you could find it. Now here's the part I don't know. How many people had access to that? Because you'd still have to have access to the system before you could find something on the system. So at the very least it would mean that any of the techs using the system could have thwarted it. So an inside job would still be possible but probably has to be an inside job unless the hackers can get in and maybe they can. So we'll keep an eye on that.
If you had applied the Dilbert filter to the election what would it have predicted? Now the Dilbert filter says that all big organizations operate super inefficiently and selfishly and stupidly and everything's a lie. That's the Dilbert filter. We were told that this massive enterprise of machines and technology and how it's all tied together in this complex system was flawless. If you've ever had any experience in a big company or any big organization there's no big organization that could pull this off flawlessly. The number of alleged problems with the system are exactly what I would have predicted. And I think I did, maybe not in the right words. But if you had any experience in a Dilbert-like world and this is a whole bunch of Dilbert worlds, you know every election precinct is a little Dilbert world. People don't have the ability to do this flawlessly. That's not something humans can do. Humans cannot pull off this level of complexity and organization without a lot of problems. So as soon as you were told that we don't have any problems every antenna should have gone up. Wait a minute you're in exactly a situation where 100% of the time there are problems and big ones. But this is the only time that that's not the case. Would you have believed it? No. The Dilbert filter is very predictive. If it's a big organization people are cheating and lying and bullshitting every time. Not sometimes, not most of the time, every time. It's just something to do with scale. If you get enough people in one place doing some kind of common thing a lot of them are going to be bad people. You can't avoid it.
All right let's take that and apply that to let's say climate change. Have you noticed that checking the temperature, the thermometers around the country, remind you of checking of voting machines? Let's say in both cases it's a very large enterprise with very complicated lots of moving parts, lots of human beings involved, a lack of transparency, very high stakes, people have a lot of money involved. How often is that going to be corrupt? If you use the Dilbert filter the Dilbert filter would say that climate change would be corrupt 100% of the time. And that the reading of the thermometers isn't much different from the making sure your election, your counting machines and your voting machines are all accurate and there's no security problems and that all the people working on them did the thing to keep them secure. Because remember the security of Dominion's machines I think this is fair to say is not about their design because nobody said yet, I haven't seen anybody say this, that they're designed poorly. It appears that the humans are the problem. If somebody left an unencrypted basically a password to the whole machine to give you god capability that feels more like a human problem. Like somebody should have known not to do that. It doesn't exactly sound like a technology problem. I mean it looks like it was done intentionally but you know in the real world incompetence explains almost everything so we can't tell in this case.
So I would say I would take the Dilbert filter to the climate thermometer measuring world and I'd say there's not really any chance the humans can do that as accurately as the experts tell us. So I have the same opinion on the voting machines as I do on climate change. That when you've got that level of complexity and money's involved and all that that's not something people can do to a level of perfection that you would want.
Now let's talk about evolution. I love that evolution is in the headlines again. It's just the ultimate provocative thing. So Tucker was on Joe Rogan the other day and said Tucker said that he doesn't believe in evolution. He does believe in species changing over time in the sense that you know you could breed a dog to be taller or bigger and maybe finches can have bigger or smaller beaks or change their colors. But according to Tucker, and this is not my view this is Tucker, human evolution has never been demonstrated by the fossil record. Would you agree with that statement? Science does not agree with that statement. But do you agree with it? That the fossil record does not prove human evolution and that in fact the record doesn't show anything else evolving either. It can show you a fossil of one thing and it can show you a fossil of another thing but you can't really tell that the one thing turned into the other thing because the fossil record is not that accurate.
Now to argue I'm going to argue both sides. So I want to steelman this as much as possible so it doesn't just sound absurd. The theory, the so-called theory of evolution has a ton of evidence in favor of it. A ton of evidence. I mean almost as much as climate change. Almost as much evidence as the fact that our elections are all secure and no problem at all. Those are three things that have a ton of evidence. The first two are ridiculously false. And when I say false I'm not making an allegation of my own about the voting machines so I can stay out of legal trouble. I'm saying I don't see any situation in which this level of complexity is going to lead to humans getting it flawlessly right. Evolution is pretty complicated too. A lot of moving parts and a lot of money involved. What are the odds that we got this one right?
Yeah here's a little mind bender for you. When you were in school did you learn that evolution was the survival of the fittest? How many of you learned that that's what evolution was, survival of the fittest? Do you know they changed that right? Because they found out that wasn't the case. It's the single most important element of evolution as we understood it that you had to have some adaptive benefit in order for that to continue. If it wasn't a benefit then it wouldn't continue. But the modern version of evolution is that things just happen. It's not always a benefit. So for example if you were a bird evolving on an island with no predators well then you could evolve for a thousand years having messed up birds that can't fly very well. No predators. If the predators were there and they couldn't fly they would all get eaten. But if there's no predators they can just willy-nilly evolve randomly into whatever the hell they want to. So the modern version of evolution pretty much completely rejects the original version of evolution that I was told was rock solid. I was told evolution was just a fact in school. But now I'm told that the most basic element of how it worked, now it's nothing like that. It's really just the evolution of what happened not the fittest.
Now but what about that fossil record? Would you say the entire evolution depends on just the fossil record? No it does not because there's other evidence. For example viruses although they're not alive so that shouldn't count. I think bacteria, some other stuff. So in a lab you can force things to evolve but I'm not sure you can turn a bacteria into a germ. Like I don't know what I'm talking about but I think a bacteria is different than a germ I'm pretty sure. So is there anything happening in the lab? I just don't know actually. Is there anything happening in the lab that's definitely evolution? Or is the lab just more proof that you can breed a big dog into a little dog if you try? I don't know.
But here's where it gets interesting. Elon Musk replied to this conversation with the sigh. The sigh seemed to indicate that watching Tucker doubt evolution was sort of anti-science. But how do you believe in evolution if you also believe in the simulation? Now you could say that the simulation just includes evolution so it all happened. It's all simulated but it all happened within the simulation just like everything else. Maybe. But if we're a simulation it suggests there's probably a resource limit because everything seems to have a resource limit. Now not necessarily. Could be some future unlimited technology species but far more likely it would be a species like us in some ways that is limited in resources. If it's limited in resources it's not going to build the whole universe in the simulation. That would be crazy. It's going to build the stuff you can see and then as you need to see other stuff. Let's say we can go to see the backside of the moon for the first time. That's when it becomes real. It fills it in when you can see it.
Now we do see in science that our observation does seem to change reality so that's not crazy. So I would say that if you believe the simulation is a billion to one more likely than not being a simulation it's a little sketchy to say that evolution is true. Because in my view simulation doesn't require but very likely the past is created by the present. So if you saw any evidence that like the double slit experiment in my view that's my own interpretation that is the present creating the past. Because when you look at it it's only when you look at it that it's different in the past. Does that make sense? The first time you look at the results for the double slit experiment without getting into details about it when you look at it that's the first time you know that there was an interference. And again without the details you know there was an interference pattern but the interference pattern had to have existed before you looked at it because otherwise it wouldn't be there. So by looking at it you've actually created the past for the first time. Now if you measure it without looking at it it also solidifies it into that interference pattern but the measurement is just another way of solidifying reality. Doesn't need to be a human. It could be a measurement. But in both cases the present created the past.
Now I know some of you are going to say Scott you are misinterpreting that experiment. To which I say hey whatever your name is no you're misinterpreting it. And so are all the scientists. Do you know why they're misinterpreting it? Because they can't handle the fact that the arrow of time is not what they think it is. So they start with the assumption that you can't change the past whereas I start with the assumption that changing the past is probably the way it works. It's the most likely way it works. So if you enter the double slit experiment assuming the most likely way the world works is that your observations change the past well there it is. It's right in front of you. If you think that's not possible then you would interpret it a different way I suppose.
Anyway I saw Cernovich saying, Mike Cernovich, the theory he posted today. The theory of evolution people can't even figure out where COVID originated. LMAO. So is that fair? Now that's the Dilbert principle. He's basically stating it in a more common sensical headline way. But the reason we can't figure out where COVID originated from might be capability but it might be more to do with the people that everybody lies. So the world is full of liars lying for lots of different reasons. So if you look at anything that's happened during our time you can see it's mostly a bunch of lying. But then you look at evolution you're like oh I'm glad we totally nailed that. Yeah the elections we have doubts about. We've got doubts about those thermometers but oh the evolution's good. We nailed the evolution.
I saw Colin Wright on X. Here's his view. He says the right can't convincingly accuse the woke left of denying biology, you know the whole trans thing regarding biological sex, if they themselves reject evolution. Does that make sense to you? Does it make sense that you can't doubt one part of science if you're doubting a different part of science? How does that make sense? Isn't doubting science built into science? And can't I say most of it looks good but I doubt this part? I thought that's the whole point. I thought that's exactly what I can do. I can say you got gravity right but I'm not so sure about climate change. There's no such thing as trusting science. If you're trusting science you're doing it wrong. Science says don't trust me right? Science says hey people don't trust me. That's his main message. That's the number one thing it says. Don't trust me. You better test this a lot.
All right so here's why. And then Tucker says that God built it and I say that any filter that works keep doing it. If having a God filter on things lets you organize your life in a productive way and raise your kids to be good citizens and all that it does appear to do that I'd say sure do some of that. But if it doesn't stop you from doing science that's the important part. I mean you can't ignore all of science because you disagree with one part of it.
All right here's some more science. Mario Nawfal is reporting that a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, so it's in their annals, they studied fasting and they say it doesn't work for losing weight. This is an RCT. Technically doesn't work for losing weight. Do you believe that? Do you believe that fasting doesn't work for losing weight? That as long as you eat the same amount of food over time you don't lose weight. How is that even, why do you even have to study that? Who didn't understand that if you ate the same amount of food in the same time frame you would weigh the same no matter when you ate it? Did we really need to study that?
Now don't, when you say fasting works let's be specific. Fasting has benefits that are claimed for that are good for your body and your mental health right but not necessarily weight loss. If you're fasting for weight loss then all you're doing is eating less if you're doing it right. So if what you did is fast for a day and then the next day you ate the normal amount for that day of course you'd lose weight because you would have an entire day with no calories. So apparently what they tested was if you fast for a day and then eat twice as much the next day you won't lose weight. Did they really need to study that? Did anybody, was that a surprise to somebody? I don't know. Looks like bad science to me.
Well End Wokeness is reporting that the LA mayor Karen Bass, her house was burglarized. Now I know what you're going to say that's an old story Scott we already know that Karen Bass the mayor of Los Angeles who was sort of a soft on crime person we already know that her house was burglarized and so why are you bringing it up again? Because it was burglarized a second time. Yep the soft on crime mayor just got burglarized a second time.
So here's my unpopular take on that. If DEI never existed I would look at her and say looks like she had some bad policies or maybe she'll correct it. In the context of DEI when I see a black mayor who's clearly not getting the job done I say to myself huh looks like a DEI problem. Like the base problem is DEI. And the reason I say that is I think a better leader could fix it. You know being tougher on crime for example. So is it my fault that I live in a world where I'm continuously reminded of DEI and then I see somebody who is black and is in charge and is failing? What am I supposed to think? If the society primes me to say DEI, DEI is why we're looking for people and hiring people and voting for people of course I'm going to think that the problem is DEI.
Now that's different from saying there's a problem with the person. So you have to separate that. One is a system and the other is an individual. So I'm not making a claim about the individual. And indeed if it turns out she's really good at her job, it's hard to tell from the outside but if it turns out she's really good at her job and maybe even made one slip that maybe she'll fix, pretty big one, but if she fixed it I would give her credit. So I don't know that there's something wrong with the individual. But I do know that in the context of DEI they've created a situation where it's my first assumption, my working assumption.
Now do you think that's good for black people that when I see a black leader who's not getting it done that I think it's because of DEI not because necessarily there's something wrong with the person? That's a whole different conversation. The person might actually be qualified and it would be terribly unfair to a qualified black leader to be painted with the same brush just because it's in the context of DEI. I don't see how black people come out ahead with DEI. To me it looks like a complete losing proposition. And I think what's wrong about it is what Democrats get wrong every time. They don't take into account the room. You got to read the room right? Read the room. That's what Trump did correctly on abortion I think. Even if you don't like where he landed he read the room right. He read the room right just exactly right. There's no right answer but he found the safest place to be on it for a president. That's reading the room right. Then and DEI is reading the room so wrong. And it's almost like ignoring that it matters what other people think of DEI. No it's actually the most important thing. The most important thing is how white people think about it but we're going to be really quiet in the short run. In the long run we're going to form opinions that it's promoting unqualified people. There's nothing you could do about that. We're not broken. There's nothing to fix. You designed a system that guarantees that people are going to assume DEI hires are less qualified and the math suggests that it will often be true but not always of course. So how's that a good situation for being black in America? To me this would be just the worst freaking thing. If you're capable you can be operating under this umbrella of assumption of incapability and I can't imagine anything that would be more destructive to your entire ability to enjoy your life.
Anyway get out of LA. LA is fallen.
There's a campaign video I guess you call it that that is the strongest one I think maybe I've ever seen. Now think about what a biggest statement that is. It's a campaign ad just a two-minute ad might be the strongest one I've ever seen for any side at any time anywhere. It was made by Western Lensman and Blake Haban. So I've posted it if you want to go see it. I'm not going to give it to you but I'll just tell you how it felt. It promises at the beginning to tell you 25 ways that Biden is destroying America or the Democrats I guess. And it's going to do it in two minutes. Now when I heard that I'm like really 25 ways? You're going to give me 25 ways in 2 minutes and I'm supposed to think that these are all credible? So here's what I assumed. The first five probably are going to be pretty good like things I might agree with like oh open border yeah that is destroying the country. And then I thought by the time you get to 25 you're going to be into the weak stuff right? Just makes sense right? You're going to put the strong stuff up front and then I'm going to say oh yeah yeah yeah and then once you got me nodding along by the time you get to eight or nine then the list the 25 you've just hypnotized me like yeah yeah yeah oh that's right oh yeah yeah and then you get to the 25 and they might be weak but you're all on board at that point.
Didn't go like that. All 25 are strong. And when you see them together it's like your hair catches on fire. Because when you see them together it does look like the Democrats are legitimately trying to destroy the country. And you don't see it if you see any one of the 25 things individually because they all have a reason. Well we're working on this and there's a reason for that and well you didn't look at the tradeoff and well it's not a perfect world and you know everything's got its own little excuse. But boy when you see all 25 of them together it looks like Democrats are literally intentionally trying to destroy the country. And I think there's something to that because when you hate something you will even subconsciously do everything you can to destroy it right? It doesn't even mean it's a plan. I wouldn't claim it's a plan. I don't think there's a meeting where somebody said hey let's destroy the country in a variety of ways. I think what it is is a lot of young people especially may be seeing that the elites stole everything that's worth stealing and left them nothing but crumbs. Now if I were 20 years old and I thought the elites in both parties had stolen everything good and polluted the world and left it a ashen crumbly mess with nothing but debt and war I would want to destroy that system. And it wouldn't matter what happened. I'd be like okay well anything you want to turn the boys into girls yeah go ahead I'm down for that. What could go wrong?
So I do want to take your time to look at it. It's on my X feed. I posted it today. So strong. So congratulations to Blake Haban and whatever Western Lensman did. I'm not sure who did what. I think Blake might have produced it actually I'm not sure but they work together on it in some way. But it's amazing. It's probably the most persuasive thing I've seen of a campaign ad.
New York Times has a guest opinion today and the title of the guest opinion is Government Surveillance Keeps Us Safe. So is that scary to see that the paper of record is running an opinion piece that says government surveillance of all the citizens can keep you safe? You know everybody always says oh this is so 1984. This is the most 1984 thing I've ever seen. It would be hard to top this one. That's a topper. But the thing is I actually agree with it. It does keep you safe. It just takes your freedom away. That's always the tradeoff. You know the government can do lots of things to keep you safe. Lock you into your house but you in the long run maybe you're not too happy about it. I think this government surveillance probably goes a long way to explaining why we haven't had worse terror attacks since 9/11. I feel like the fact that we have no privacy is the only reason there haven't been major terror attacks. I think that a lot of stuff must be getting thwarted in its infancy because they have complete ability to monitor just literally everything. So that's the most positive thing you put on it. But no I'm not in favor of the government surveilling every single thing we do but I think it's a fact and it's not going to change.
Here's about this. There's a business called Sheetz. I don't know what they do. Sheetz. And they're being sued by the government, Biden administration, for discriminating against minorities. And specifically the form of discrimination is they require applicants to pass a criminal record background check. So Sheetz doesn't want to hire people who have criminal records. But since there are more people with criminal records in the underserved communities that would be now illegal according to the Biden administration. So the Biden administration wants to force this company to hire convicted felons.
So but you know what's ridiculous? You know what's ridiculous? I mean really do you really think there are 25 different ways that the Biden administration is trying to literally destroy the country? Maybe 26. Maybe 26. Because this clearly is bad for the country. It couldn't be any worse for the country. And here it is and they're going to spend a lot of resources on this. Of all the things that the Biden administration could do to root out unfairness and discrimination they had to find this one. Now doesn't that mean that everything else that's more important than this has been solved? Do they have so much resource so many resources that they could solve all the big discrimination problems? They're all well handled but now they're working down the list and priorities and we're all the way down to the company that doesn't want to hire criminals. They should hire more criminals or they'll go to jail or something. Fine probably so.
Now if you add this to the fact that the white supremacist that they were looking for in the military didn't exist I think things are really going well. If you've got DEI hires in all the major cities and the worst remaining discrimination you could find is that they don't want to hire criminals. Amazing.
Well let's talk about Ukraine. I saw a post by Joey Mannarino and he says this in his post. He said he had dinner with a friend from Ukraine and he learned something the media is not reporting. If you're a male citizen of Ukraine who lives outside the country and your passport expires you no longer can renew it at an embassy. So if you're a Ukrainian man in another country mostly maybe to get away from Ukraine if your passport expires they won't renew it. You have to come back to Ukraine and die in the meat grinder. Wow. So if you don't have a passport you can't stay in the country you're in but you also can't go back to the country. Some country should say you could come here because I'm pretty sure that the Ukrainian men who were living escaped Ukraine to get away from the draft they're probably educated and employable. They'd probably be a pretty good group because they're not filtered for being criminals or anything. They're filtered for being smart enough not to be part of a war and they had enough resources that they could get out of the country. That probably suggests it would be a great group of people to have in your country. So maybe somebody will open their doors and make that more legal.
But some other things we're learning. This from Brian Dean Wright. I believe he used to be in the intelligence services but now is not. And he's talking about how the war is lost basically the Ukraine war. He says there are two problems. One is massive corruption that we know about. So it's going to be hard to keep shoveling the money when we know Zelensky is stealing it and his lieutenants are and apparently that's documented now. So we don't wonder if Zelensky is stealing the money. Yeah he is. And I guess everybody knows it.
But the other thing is that there are no human beings left in Ukraine to fight. That the urban men disappeared because they could and the rural men are all dead. So they just ran out of people. So according to Brian Dean Wright the weapons aren't going to help as much as you want because they don't have anybody to fire them. Now that wouldn't be so bad. I mean it's terrible but it wouldn't be so bad if they look like they could win right? You'd say to yourself well that's the most horrible thing they lost all their men for a generation but if they won you can imagine that eventually they'd spin it into a great sacrifice in the victory. But they're not winning.
And indeed the whole goal that the Biden administration has set down loud that it's just a cheap way to degrade the Russian military which I don't think most people care about but maybe some do. But how's that working out? The Politico reports that the Russian army is larger by 15% than it was when it invaded Ukraine and their industrial production is growing. Their military is getting stronger and apparently there's no risk to the economy. So basically we made Russia stronger. Although I don't know that you can really tell that. I'm not sure we know exactly what's happening in Russia. You know that's probably propaganda too. So I don't know how much Russia is winning but it doesn't look like they're losing. You know you can't believe anything from a war zone or from Russia or Ukraine but anyway.
David Sacks is on this case making it clear and I think he's correct. He's making it clear that there is no win to be had and that we lost the only thing we said we were trying to do which is degrade Russia etc. And I think I have been won over to the side that the whole point of making Ukraine NATO is so Ukraine would have to buy weapons from American manufacturers and that Americans would pay with our taxes to give to Ukraine so they could buy our weapons. So basically it's just our own military-industrial complex looting our pockets and their energy people trying to take Russia's energy and that sort of thing. So I see America as more of a criminal enterprise than a military keeping the world safe for democracy. That's my take. Ukraine looks entirely like a criminal enterprise backed by an army. Because these stated claims are somewhat ludicrous whereas the more obvious explanation of what's going on you know CIA wants to protect their labs and we want to have closer assets to threaten Russia and maybe we did want to degrade their military a little or get Putin out of office all that stuff but it mostly it looks like it's just a money grab corrupt criminal enterprise and we're just knee deep in it. So I'm rejecting any notion that America is the good guy in this situation. I think we're the criminals in this situation. That would be my take.
Now what is the solution for all of it? Well Trump has to avoid the obvious plot to assassinate him. I think we could say that out loud right? I mean if they're trying to remove his Secret Service protection while painting him as a risk to democracy and a Hitler character that's a murder attempt. Now the fact that they figured out a legal way to murder somebody or attempt to murder that doesn't change the fact that what it is. It might be illegal but still murder. So I would say our system is mostly blackmail bribery corruption and murder and that the thin veneer of a republic and a democracy and all that stuff is largely silly and absurd and clearly hasn't been with us for decades. We're complicit unless we overthrow the corruption. Well unless it's working. See that's the problem. It always comes down to what are the alternatives. And I've said it before but I'm going to double down on it. If it's true that we're not a democratic republic that doesn't mean we're worse off. It just means we're not what we thought we were. It definitely means some people are being screwed. Definitely means that. Definitely means the elites are getting richer. But here's the problem. That's every system. If you show me a system where the elites don't not only stay elite but they don't gain compared to the population and rob them I've never seen that system. What system is that? So if every system robs the public for the benefit of the elite and if it doesn't it doesn't have the resources to field an army and protect itself it won't last. So my take is the bigger and badder we are as a criminal enterprise the longer we're going to last. Why do you think Russia is still in business and going to survive this war? Is it because they're a democratic republic? No it's because they're a massive criminal enterprise with the military just like us. Look at China. Do you think the elites are doing better than the people? I think so. I think so yeah. Think they're doing great. And does that mean that in a way conceptually they're robbing the people to keep themselves in power? And yeah of course that's what it means. That's exactly what it means. So every system that is successful, successful to the point where we think they should be in NATO let's say that's the minimum level of a successful country is that we want them in NATO. You don't get there without your elites being totally in charge and being able to control the government and the military. So I think that all of the countries that are successful are criminal enterprises because in the long run that's the model that works. And like the Mafia the Mafia might not want a lot of crime on its own street because it doesn't want to interfere with the bigger crimes it's doing. So it could be that our criminal government would do quite a good job of reducing crime if the right members of it were in charge. NATO is a cartel yeah in a sense yeah. I mean that doesn't that word fit perfectly because cartels don't have to be illegal do they? Well I don't know maybe they do. I'm not sure if that's baked into the definition of a cartel. Doesn't a cartel just mean a bunch of people with power who are operating together some way?
All right we're going to do a closing sip because I think you need it. Here's to you.
Now do you think Trump could fix all of these problems I just mentioned? How many of this criminal enterprise stuff could Trump fix? Almost none. If he could fix any of this stuff he would have done some of it in the first term. So it looks like whatever it is is stronger than all the presidents. I don't think there's any president that can fix it.
So here's what might happen. I think the people, the elites as we say, the people in charge, I think if Trump gets elected by a big enough margin they can't cheat him out of office and they can't put him in jail because there are too many people who would go nuts. I think they'll just try to wait him out. You know they'll do everything they can to destroy him while he's in office but ultimately they don't want to reveal too much about themselves if they can just wait four years and go back to running everything. So I feel like they'll just wait him out. So there's one possibility that it won't be riots in the streets. They might just say let's just keep this on a slow boil. Get through the four years. Get back in power. Start another war that sort of thing. Probably the biggest problem would be if Trump doesn't fund another war. I think if the first thing Trump did is fund a new war he'd be fine. He would be perfectly safe because everybody would be like ah yeah keep that war guy in there. War is when your government tells you who the enemy is. Revolution is when the government's the enemy.
All right that's all I got for you today on the platforms of Rumble and YouTube and X. I'm going to talk to the Locals people, the subscribers, privately. Thanks for joining and I will see you soon. Bye for now.
Going slow to change this because I know there's a lag. I don't want to look like I cut you off too soon. And the lag is over. See you tomorrow I believe. We're private now. All right thank you. How you like today's show? I like getting compliments. Cartel wasn't the right word. Cabal. Cabal might be a better word. You're right. What is the definition of a cartel? Well thank you. You're still here but you can't see me can you? Oh wait no we're still live on everything. Why didn't that work? Local supporters only now it's going to work. Oh that didn't work. It's still live on all the platforms. Looks like we have a bug in the system. Yeah there's a bug in the system. So I won't tell you any secrets like I usually do because all the other people still here. They're being quiet because they don't want you to know they can still see me but the same. I usually use it didn't turn them off. Am I doing it wrong? Let me look at it again. Am I looking at the wrong thing? It's local supporters only. Yeah so it's local support only then I update the stream and it didn't take. It didn't work. So it's just a bug in system. It worked yesterday. All right that's all I got for today. Locals people I'll do a man cave tonight. See you tonight. And yeah there's something wrong with the software. It's not working right now but I'll see you all soon. Goodbye. So taking my time. Okay I've stalled long enough. Bye for now.
that's weird good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization so far it's called coffee with Scott Adams and there's never been a finer time in the history of the 13.9 billion years of this universe and before that but if you'd like to take this up to a level that no one's ever seen all you need for that is a cuper marker a glass of tankered chalice time a Canen jug or flask a vessel V kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the doine here of the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now yeah we we're all good now it's all coming together all right let's look at the news the silly stuff and the serious stuff well I like to follow uh the AI news on several accounts on the xplatform one of them is Rowan Chung who's a good follow C hu n g Rowan Rowan Jung anyway he reports that apple is reportedly building a uh llm so an AI that will be completely on the device so your phone will not have to talk to anything to be smart it will be AI uh on its own and that could be a really big deal if you're not sure why because first of all the speed would be completely different if if you've had the experience of trying to have a conversation with an AI here's my impression of it hey AI how are you this morning I am very good how are you well I'm pretty good too uh you know what what's the news today the weather will be 59° and and that that awkward pause just completely ruins the conversational you know element you you know you're talking to a computer because of the pause but if it runs all locally and it's got it the same speed as conversational speed it's going to be pretty awesome all right and uh it will give you better privacy presumably are you following the story of Grace price so she's the teenage kid who's well I don't know teenage is she still a kid I don't know if she's 18 or not but uh she's got a documentary about how our lifestyle and food especially are G giving us cancer and she had a stat that she has from a source she didn't make it up herself that says that up to 95% of cancer is caused by your lifestyle and environmental factors and there's a pool of studies that show that that's the case does that sound right right to you yeah Grace price is her name do you think that 95% of cancer is caused by lifestyle in food it's not impossible yeah it to me it sounds high but not crazy like it it could be it could be that High um but here's what I feel about her you know when when Greta was talking about climate change I thought to myself this isn't really helping because I want to hear from you know scientists and people who know what they're talking about uh but then but but then when Grace price does her thing I'm totally board should I be using the same standard with her as I do with Greta or is it because I think that Greta might be wrong and I think that Grace Price is Right that I'm judging her expertise by just confirmation bias and the answer is yes that's exactly what I'm doing but I'm aware of it you know that sometimes the best you can do about your own bias is just to do a little audit and say to yourself all right if this situation were a little different or or if this person telling me were a little different would I be receiving this differently and the answer is yes yes yeah so basically I'm hearing what I want to hear from Grace Pryce and so to me it all looks very scientific and and factual and by the way I really think that but I'm also aware that if I were wrong I would think the same thing so so I've got that little bit of just a little bit of self filter but it's not stopping me I still say she looks right to me but just be aware of it well I think the concept the uh the topic of loneliness is becoming a bigger and bigger issue and I think it it's there's no end in sight for that there's nothing that looks like it's changing it immediately it will get fixed like everything you we'll we'll fix the loneliness problem but uh even Kathy Griffin uh was saying in public and somehow I think this is useful um I like it when public figures talk about their own experience I like it less when public figures tell me what kind of apples to eat and stuff like that because I think they're outside their expertise but when somebody just tells me about their own experience and it's some Universal relatable thing yeah yeah do that please so here's what Kathy Griffin says and by the way I remind you I know that a lot of you have a political opinion about her that's negative but I've worked with her she was the voice of Alice in the Dilbert animated show and uh I really like her so Kathy Griffin in person very very likable you'd like her to anyway she says I guess she got divorced recently she says divorced women I'm talking to you I am four months divorced and I feel weak because I just can't get used to waking up alone in the hotel room uh blah blah blah and I'm having trouble adjusting any you ladies out there you got to uh how did you get to a place where you can enjoy waking up alone and she has some dogs she brings one with her she says now without dwelling on her specific case I like the fact that she could be a famous public figure and that she can say with great vulnerability that loneliness is like a it's really a crippling problem for a lot of people now the only thing I can add to this story that would be useful is that um as you know I have a subscription service on the locals platform Scott adams.
locals.com many of them are watching right now but I also do a uh for the subscribers I do a private manave just about every night from my garage SL manave and although I didn't design it this way it wasn't designed for this purpose um There's A good rule in marketing that the audience tells you what your product is if you ever heard that you don't tell what the audience you don't tell your customers what your product is you try I mean that's what marketing is but in the end they tell you what the product is they tell you why they bought it and what it's good for and why they're going to buy it again and apparently the man cave turned into a lot of people who don't have anybody to talk to during the day has something like a personal experience because when I do the band caves I'm just interacting with the with the uh comments the entire time so it's it's like a conversation for shy people like if you're not brave enough to go out and like make a friend or join a group or you be part of some larger organization where you just meet people uh you can do it with me so i' I've sort of morphed my ambitions for the mancave which honestly was just for me I started doing the band cave just because I thought it'd be nice to chat with people and be fun but I've I've learned that its importance to several hundred people is that sometimes it's the only humanlike experience they have during the entire day the only Human Experience so it feels like a a necessity at this point so I'd invite any of you who want to subscribe to that it's uh pretty much every night at different times but California time usually between 4:30 in 6:30 I started anyway uh RFK Jr was at a Michigan rally and he says provocatively I'm going to put the entire us Budget on blockchain so that every American can look at every B budget item in the entire budget anytime they want 24 hours a day and then you can see if things cost too much or we wasted money now I like where that's heading and I love how RFK Jr gets earned media now whether or not this specific idea is ever implemented don't you love the fact that he said it in public that this is what I call the the bad idea that's a good idea meaning that in a sort of Hollywood writer's terms sometimes you throw on a bad idea to give you something to react to and say well not that but it reminds me of something that would actually work so I love the fact he's throwing out this idea if you're ask me is blockchain the right way to do it and all that I don't know I don't know I mean I might my first instinct is blockchain would probably just slow it down and I I don't know exactly what you're buying by having it on the blockchain so I I'd have questions about the specifics but I love the fact that he's putting it out there and it's provocative and it makes turns it into a story so he gets all this free publicity I'm talking about it in a positive way but I would go further if you want to control the government build a dashboard if you want to control the whole government build a dashboard One dashboard that shows you the key political things the budgets the status the laws that are being you know coming who voted for what but you'd have to design it so well that it's not overwhelming the the way to do it wrong is there' be a solid page of government boring data and you'd have to look for whatever you wanted and it'd be just so so boring and busy you couldn't use it but suppose you open it up and it was a let's say four to six charts that just showed you the direction of things and let's say one of the charts is crime so you could click on it and then you could explode it by City maybe you could look at it by you know um Democrat versus Republican that'd be a little more provocative but I love to do that to find out whose policies seem to be working and imagine if you could just drill down on all of those questions and then at the bottom you could get the pro the best pro and con argument on that topic so the data itself doesn't tell you the story you still need the interpretation but you want the best ones so imagine if you had that um dashboard that anybody any citizen can log into and you can just see everything that's going on Money.
Wise um I think it'd be amazing um anyway so I think whoever builds that dashboard will necessarily control the world because what you put on the front page will be what everybody cares about so effectively you could front run all of the news you could you could make the the news entities uh useless by Simply Having a dashboard that wouldn't be the news per se but if you were the one who controlled what got highlighted and what got you know maybe put down in priority you would have factly control the country because if you wanted to highlight for example we wasted a bunch of money on this thing you just put on the front page and say it's just the dashboard so that's how easy it would be to control the whole country um rasmon did some polls on whether people thought Trump was going to get a fair trial in New York City 42% of us voters think that it's likely Trump will be able to get a fair trial 42% I don't know how good you are at math but let me fill you in 42 is less than half less than half less than half of the citizens PED in the United States voters likely voters don't believe that uh it's even possible to get a fair trial in New York City if you're Trump now how many people do you think say Not only would Trump get a fair trial um but it's very likely what percentage do you think say it's very likely Trump will get a fair trial in New York City let's let's see how close you can get on this guess very good very good yeah a lot of you are guessing 25% and it's 27% it's 27 yeah but I'm going to round that off and say your 25 is correct and once again your your Brilliance if not your sex appeal is coming through again let let me say that the sapo uh sapo sexuals who uh were attracted to intelligent people are probably just having quite a time now because when they see how smart you are that you can answer a question like that with no prior knowledge you just all knew it was around the quarter amazing amazing but uh 51% think that Trump won't get a fair trial and uh 31% say it's you know not at all likely now here's my thing if you have a situation in which the general public which is pretty much paying attention because it's Trump they are paying attention if more than half say he can't get a fair trial how in the world do you put him in in jail if he's convicted if more than half of the people watching say it's probably not fair how do you do that you can't you can't maintain the system if you put them in jail while than people think it's unfair or very likely to be unfair so it seems to me that should be a grounds for challenging it but I don't think legally it is is it I go back to the the interesting story of how um speed limits are determined in residential neighborhoods I think I've told you this before maybe it's just a California thing I don't know but the way they determine a speed limit in a new road if it's a residential not not a freeway because those are just standard speeds but uh in the neighborhoods they'll actually monitor how people actually drive before they put up the speed limit signs and they say okay it looks like people just naturally think they can drive 45 on the street so we'll lower it to 35 because we know they'll cheat a little bit so the idea here is that you create a law that you believe people will accept as reasonable because you looked at all the reason subtracted 10 everybody knows you subtracted 10 everybody's happy so a very good way to run a country is to see if people think it would be fair and then do the thing that most people think would be fair that's stable but if you do the thing that most people literally majority think is not likely to be fair and you do it right in front of them that's your worst case scenario worst case scenario they're doing that right in front of us well let's talk about the plot to make biomics look good Zero Hedge is talking about uh commercial real estate foreclosures they their highest level in a decade I don't know how big a deal that is yet yet if you say the highest in a decade because we do we do go through you know periods of better and worse for Real Estate but uh it's not good certainly not good and a lot of people ask the question why don't they just turn them into public housing you know why don't you just turn all these offices into um condos and the answer is the only way that would work according to Goldman is if you drop the prices is 50% so in other words you can charge way more for a business office per square foot than you can for a condo so yes it's physically possible to change them into housing but you would lose your entire economic point of it so actually you can't the only way you can do it is if I suppose you know everybody who owns these goes broke and then the value of the thing goes down and then somebody buys it for a penny on a dollar and then they can turned it into residential housing so uh also wrong Plumbing as as somebody's pointing out now anything can be fixed yeah wrong Plumbing could be turned into right Plumbing at some expense but very expensive all right uh but it does look like as Zero Hedge notes uh that the fed and everybody are probably trying to just push the problem forward so that trumps in office when it collapses it looks like set up it looks like they know it's going to collapse and they if they could just hold it off until Trump gets elected it's his problem because I I think 90% of politics is hoping that the economy did well during your your rule so you can say it is what you did because I honestly I can't really think of anything that bomic did I mean that you know in theory it lowered some drug prices but I don't think that's like you know resounding through the economy in general so a lot of it is uh you know this is a the dilber filter on things things happen because they're going to happen anyway and then the leaders take credit for it that's the way the real world Works people take credit for things that were going to happen anyway it's that's how everything works so let's check in on the plot to assassinate Trump now as you know the plot to assassinate Trump is to make it look like an accident so they're trying to um talk him up as a threat to democracy so that lots of people have a reason to kill him because they think he's Hiller so first you create the motivation and you brainwash you know millions of people into thinking oh my God if I could stop Hitler I could do it so that part we see an action that's the whole he's trying to ruin um democracy thing here's AOC talking about it she said uh Trump who is not uh he he seeks to dismantle American democracy I am taking that personally very seriously because we will not be able to organize for any movement toward anything if we are facing the jailing of dissidents this is the kind of authoritarianism that he threatens we have to take it seriously the jailing of dissidents where have I seen something like that happen before the jailing of dissidence well a dissident would be like a protester a protester where have I seen a protester being put in jail for protesting oh the entire January 6 hoax in which the thoroughly corrupt members of Congress who should all be in jail the ones on the January 6 committee should definitely be in jail and uh if if Trump only does one thing and he puts them all in jail for real crimes I don't want him to make up any crimes has to be a real crime but uh that would be one of the best things that happened in the country and if it ripped the country tree apart I'm okay with that totally down to that see here's the thing with somebody calling your bluff you've got to call them on it it's your only choice otherwise they own you if people can scare you and Bluff you and threaten you and make you change what you do well they own you if you don't want to be owned you've got to punch them in the teeth so to speak not really no violence so obviously the January 6 people were jailed for being dissidents uh this is another case we've seen so many of the Democrats accusing Republicans of exactly what they're doing as they're talking as she's talking her team is putting dissidents in jail as she's talking now what would be the example of where any Republican has put a dissident in jail I can't think of any can you think of any even one oh maybe a Sange but that wasn't really just a republican thing and he wasn't a citizen so that's a little bit different um and we didn't put him in jail so that's that is different all right so so part one of trying to kill Trump uh is going well for for the Democrats so because the Democrats can say this out loud without being challenged at least without being challenged on by their own team they can say that Trump is trying to dismantle democracy now as Mike Ben has taught you uh that that creates the predicate so that the intelligence people can do everything that they would do internationally to other countries they can do internally because hey if you're trying to save democracy there's you know you got to pull out all the stops so this is when you see the Democrats say he's trying to get rid of democracy because he's an authoritarianism uh because of his authoritarianism you should interpret that as an OP um it's part of the brainwashing of America and it's to get him killed or jailed and that's what it is and there's there's no other way to see it really if you're even a little bit aware of what's happening so that's now how about the plot to jail him so Jonathan turle is talking about that so if they don't jail him and get him killed in prison they're going to try to kill him on the outside by making people think he's Hiller and also by taking away his secret service protection so the Democrats are trying to do all three paint him his Hiller take away his secret service protection and just as an insurance policy try to put him in jail on fake charges or trumped up charges so Jonathan turle is talking about uh the fact that uh brag the da is uh he's going to start talking to David pecker who is the uh head of the national Inquirer who is part of the story now as Turley points out uh Pecker's part of the story um has nothing to do with the charges do you do you understand that so pecker had to do with the um suppressing of the story of St.
Stormy Daniels but there are no charges and no law broken to suppress the story so nobody's in trouble for suppressing the story and the one and only thing that David pecker knows is that part that there was an effort to suppress the story about Stormy Daniels but since there's no crime involved with that and it doesn't tell you anything about the other crimes why is that the first witness why would he be the first witness if nothing he has to say is relevant to any of the crimes that are being charged well because you're watching a porno and all pornos start the same so Bragg is the uh fluffer and his job is to get uh to get the uh the pecker situation all firmed up so he's got to get that pecker situation all firmed up um so brag being the fluffer you'll get that going and that's really just to prepare you for the we're all going to get so you always start by firming up the pecker before giving the good hard that the public is is waiting for and Trump of course so that makes sense meanwhile on Meet the Press uh the uh fake news is having trouble supporting their own fake polls because here's just here's a current poll that was presented on uh Meet the Press so the own people are presenting their their own results it look like and I read this on Eric Aban an's post he's got a he's a good follow too on on X um so here are some of the things so comparing Trump to Biden on handling a crisis Trump is up 46 to 42 who is strong who has a strong record as president Trump is better 46 to 39 who is competent and effective Trump is better 47 to 36 that's pretty big difference un competent and effective dealing with inflation and cost of living Trump by a mile 52 compared to 30 and then has the necessary mental and physical health Trump by a mile 45% to 26 now I don't think you need to brag about 45% think that you're mentally and physically capable but in the context of politics there's a big difference it it does suggest that even the Democrats think that Biden is degraded now imagine if you will that you've pulled the public on each of these individual qualities of President and they do look like the important ones right handling a crisis strong record competent effective mentally healthy physical dealing with inflation and those are the that's those are important things that's all the big stuff and Trump dominates all the big top so wouldn't that suggest that the election isn't going to be anywhere near close what did the polls tell you oh it's B tie how in the world are we supposed to believe any of this that the detailed polling shows Trump just annihilating uh Biden on all the important stuff all of it there's nothing that Biden's leading on and yet the the polls are be close Biden's actually leading in some polls how how in the world can we explain this polling it looks like the polling is completely fake at least some of it I mean I assume that the the top number is the fake if if the bottom number shows that Trump is leading on everything that matters how in the world could he be leading in the polling because You' think that if the same people who were just Pro Biden they knew they were doing a poll that involved Trump and Biden wouldn't they also say that Biden was winning on the individual categories wouldn't they if you were in the bag for Biden and you just want to say Trump bad Biden good you would say that Biden was healthier you'd say he's better for the economy but they're not even willing to do that and he's still Tai okay there's something deeply wrong with what we saying I don't know what it is I really don't well let's check in on the uh all the conspiracy theories I swear to God you know sometimes it's hard to have a conservative sort of Republican audience because you know you guys and I'm talking to all of you you know you guys have some wild conspiracy theories am I right like one of them is that the government and especially the Democrats are packed with a bunch of sex offenders that haven't been caught yet it's like some big you know pedopile conspiracy theory like you you guys will believe anything you're believing that the top people in the Democrat Party are a whole bunch of pedos crazy well next story is that President Obama's former senior policy advisor rahimin Shai has been charged with child oh okay okay well maybe you're right sometime s okay I'm going to give you this one all right I'll give you this turns out it's a whole party full up exactly what you thought so yeah Colin rug was reporting this on X um so the senior policy advisor is being charged with sex offenses let's just say he had some bad stuff on his computer some bad stuff and he worked uh on the us strategy to combat terrorism and terrorists so while he was helping us fight Al-Qaeda and the Taliban the children were fighting him off or something like that I guess there were some kind of allegations they're allegations people he's innocent till proven guilty so take your conspiracy theories even though they look suspiciously supportable anyway he wasn't in charge of ordering the pizza and hot dogs for Obama but you know you know where that story's going well thankfully um the the Democrats are trying to get those corrupt Republicans out of office by having a sweep and winning everything in 2024 and uh oh here's a story about Ted Lou he's accused of using donor money to give $50,000 donation to Stanford who then soon after admitted his child to Stanford so that's probably a coincidence am I right and uh I tell you when I give money to a politician what I'm really hoping the politician spends it on is uh bribing a college to get his kid into it now there's no evidence that's what happened that's simply an allegation and we have a correlation but not a causation it could be that he loves Stanford so much that he wanted to give them money and he had this donor money so he gave him that it had nothing to do with the admission of his child innocent until proven guilty right sometimes it's hard to say inoc till proven guilty but let's try to keep that standard well if you're watching the uh protester situation at Columbia University I'm not sure I'd call it protesting so much as anti-Semitism and uh it's got It's become uh super dangerous and scary if you're a Jewish student or even if you're Jewish and anywhere near that situation but uh apparently they built a tent city in the middle of the campus um the an orthodox Rabbi who I guess is associated with Columbia and Barnard he sent out a Whats.
App uh message to 290 Jewish students and he said uh you know maybe they should go home until it's safe to go to college he actually said you should consider going home and just dropping out of college until it's safe and then come back now that's not a very practical suggestion for most people you can't really easily drop out of college if that's your whole plan right um but that's how bad it is now you might say to yourself Scott this is terrible because um it's so terrible because not only have the uh the protesters create a highly anti-semitic situation and it's scary and there actually been physical attacks on Jewish students Etc I think somebody at Yale got stabbed at a protest um so it's getting really dicey and dicey but as bad as it is now um I don't think you should be super worried yet I wouldn't worry until the Colombia tent people start digging tunnels if you hear that the Columbia protesters have started to build tunnels then that's the next level of worrying I I would take your concern up to another level right now I would put it at the level of seriously seriously concerning and must be fixed immediately but I think if they start are building tunnels under the tents I'd take that up another level at least one more Defcon so that's my standard once they got tunnels then you got to worry all right anyway um but I think that if they do build tunnels I think there's a theoretical number of uh migrants who could be urinating Outdoors that would flood the tunnels H anyway let's not solve yet let's wait till it's a problem uh let's see the Democrats have a new campaign ad showing uh a young woman who's trying to go to another state to get an abortion because Alabama Law would prohibit it and uh the the theatrical uh approach that the advertising campaign is taking is that you see the pregnant woman being stopped by the Alabama Police saying you can't cross state lines to get an abortion and she's like frisked and arrested now apparently that's not yet a law but there are allegedly can you give me a fact check on this um allegedly that Alabama is looking at uh making it illegal to go to another state to get an abortion where it is illegal is that actually something that Republicans are dumb enough to do is that actually being discussed because I have trouble B in that it sounds like just something made up right now I wouldn't be surprised if there are some people who have suggested it because there's always some people who suggest everything but I can't IM imagine there's any serious effort in Alabama to stop somebody from driving across the state line is there can can anybody give me a fact check on that is there because I I'd ask some serious questions if that's if that's the case regardless of what you think about abortion your state can't stop you from driving to another state and doing what's legal in that state there's no way that that's going to be a law is it I don't know we've seen some crazy things but I can't imagine that would become a law um meanwhile at Steve bannon's War Room there's uh some new information from Kurt olssen he's an attorney and uh I guess he's got some new information you've probably heard this before but what's new is that they're using the updated information about the Dominion machines their claims about them allegations I'll call them um that they found some uh let's say data security issues I'll tell you what they are in a moment and that they're updating some uh supreme court filings so there's some kind of Supreme Court case that um is being pushed forward doesn't mean the Supreme Court will take it it's just you know an application of some sort for them to take it but of course they don't take most things so we'll see but here are the claims so Kurt Olson says his Security Experts have found the following that in the 2020 and 22 2022 elections um that Dominion used altered software and lied about it that's the allegation meaning that um they said they were using one version of software but the actual election was run on a different version now is that a problem that's like a really big problem that's as big as you can get if the system was checked out for security with one version of software and then ran a different version that's that's the same as not checking it for security I mean or at least it leaves a big hole but that's not the only thing also in those last two elections um they said they pre performed pre-election tests on the machines which would sound like they tested all the machines before the election that's how I interpret that but the claim is that they didn't they didn't test the machines they only tested some spares in other words they only tested machines that were not used in the election and said they tested the machines used in the election by testing machines that were not used in the election is that a problem yeah could be kind of sketchy but then the third one is the funniest one that the claim is that the master encryption key was left open in plain text that anyone who knew where to look could find out how to have God control over the entire election simply by knowing where to look they wouldn't have to hack anything they just have to know where to look and and it was so so unsecure the claim is that you could have changed anything happening in the system without detection now do you believe that now I'm going to say that there's some pushback on the claim that you could do massive election machine cheating and not get caught because there are some controls right there there are some audits there are some checks so it does seem to me that some types of misbehavior would get caught but does that mean that every kind of cheating can get caught because if you could check the counting machines as well as the voting machines and I think it was all part of one network so you could you had control of more than one kind of machine the vote and also the count of the vote uh do you think that the allegation will stand that you could you could change something in the voting machines that that wouldn't be detected so so the wouldn't be detected part is the part I think would be the hardest to prove because I would imagine that Dominion will have some kind of argument that sounds like well yeah you can make those changes but we would obviously catch them so we'll see if that's a good argument but I think that would be the argument but what else would it be right if it were you you would argue yeah we would catch that and here's how we would catch it so I don't know if this is enough to get it into the Court however anybody who's making a claim that the election systems are secure is going to have to deal with the fact that they found three potential problems that don't mean they were exploited so remember separate the two topics one topic is you know did anybody do anything bad on the election and the other topic is could they was it possible but maybe they just didn't do it and I think the question was it possible is looking uh more credible than it has before but remember all these all these election claims they almost all turn out not to be true so if we were look at it from the 30,000 foot level and I said hey there's another Claim about the election you should bet against it do you agree if I said there's another claim but I didn't give you any details about the elections What would you bet well the smart bet you know is 20 to1 in favor of it not being you know not being conclusive so we'll see these are pretty big pretty big claims uh but then Steve Bannon ask the question would Murdoch have won that gigantic Fox News case in which Tucker was saying things about the security of the election systems would Murdoch have won that case if he had had these three pieces of information and he could have said in that trial well we don't know what happened but here's your security key right here imagine if during the trial where Fox News you know was Under Fire for saying the election machines were not secure imagine if the defense uh had pulled out a document and they said you know your encryption security key here it is and then just walk walk in front of the jury you know not that they could care read the digits would just say look here's the encryption key do you do you know who had access to this everybody who knew where to look wouldn't that be the end of the case like how could you sit in the jury and let and let's say that that evidence held up against cross-examination and everything if that held up that it really was there and if you knew where to look you could find it now here's the part I don't know how many people had access to that because you'd still have to have access to the system before you could find something on the system so at the very least it would mean that any of the texts using the system could have could have thwarted it so an inside job would still be possible but probably has to be an inside job unless the hackers can get in and maybe they can so we'll keep an eye on that if you had applied the dilber filter to the election what would it have predicted now the dilbur filter says that all big organizations operate super inefficiently and selfishly and stupidly and everything's a lie that's the dilver filter we were told that um this massive Enterprise of you know machines and technology and how it's all tied together in this complex system was Flawless if you've ever had any experience in a big company or any big organization there's no big organization that could pull this off flawlessly the the number of uh you know alleged problems with the system are exactly what I would have predicted and I I think I did maybe not in the right words but if you had any experience in a Dilbert like world and this is a whole bunch of Dilbert worlds you know every election Precinct is a little Dilbert world people don't have the ability to to do this flawlessly that's not something humans can do humans cannot pull off this level of complexity and organization without a lot of problems so as soon as you were told that we don't have any problems every every antenna should have gone up wait a minute you're in exactly a situation where 100% of the time there are problems and big ones but this is the only time that not not the case would you have believed it no the dilber filter is very predictive if it's a big organization people are cheating and lying and bullshitting every time not sometimes not most of the time every time it's just a as something to do with scale if you get enough people in one place doing you know some kind of common thing a lot of them are going to be bad people you can't avoid it all right let's uh let's take that and apply that to uh let's say climate change have you noticed that checking the temperature the thermometers around the country remind you of checking of voting machines let's say in both cases it's a very large Enterprise with very complicated lots of moving Parts lots of human beings involved uh a lack of transparency very high stakes people have a lot of money involved how often is that going to be corrupt if you use the dilbur filter the dilbur filter would say that climate change would be corrupt 100% of the time and that the reading of the thermometers isn't much different from the making sure your election your counting machines and your voting machines are all accurate and there's no security problems and that all the people working on them did the thing to keep them secure because remember the security of dominions machines I think this is fair to say is not about their design because nobody said yet I haven't seen anybody say this that they're designed poorly it it appears that the humans are the problem if somebody left an unencrypted you know basically a password to the whole machine to give you God capability that feels more like a human problem like somebody should have known not to do that it doesn't exactly sound like a technology problem I mean it it looks like it was done intentionally but you know in the real world incompetence explains almost everything so we can't tell in this case so I would say I would take the dilver filter to The Climate a thermometer measuring world and I'd say there's not really any chance the humans can do that as accurately as the experts tell us so I have the same opinion on the voting machines as I do on climate change that when you've got that level of complexity and money's involved and all that that's not something people can do to to a level of perfection that you would want now let's talk about Evolution I love that evolution is in the headlines again it's just the ultimate provocative thing so t was on Joe Rogan the other day and said Tucker said that he doesn't believe in evolution he does believe you know in species changing over time in the sense that you know you could breed a dog to be taller or bigger and you know maybe finches can have bigger or smaller beaks or change their colors but according to Tucker and this is not my view this is Tucker human evolution has never been demonstrated by the fossil record would you agree with that statement science does not agree with that statement but do you agree with it that the fossil record does not prove human evolution and that in fact the the the record doesn't show anything else evolving either it can show you it can show you a fossil of one thing and it can show you a fossil of another thing but you can't really tell that the one thing turned into the other thing because the because the fossil record is not that accurate now to argue I'm going to argue both sides you know so I want to Steelman this as much as possible so it doesn't just sound absurd the theory the so-call theory of evolution has a ton of evidence in favor of it a ton of evidence I mean almost as much as climate change almost as much evidence as the fact that our elections are all secure and and no problem at all those are three things that have a ton of evidence the first two are ridiculously false and when I say false I'm not making an allegation of my own about the voting machines so I can stay out of legal trouble I'm saying I don't see any situation in which this level of complexity is going to lead to humans getting it flawlessly right evolution is pretty complicated too a lot of moving parts and a lot of money involved what what are the odds that we got this one right yeah here's a little mind Bender for you when you were in uh school did you learn that uh Evolution was the survival of the fittest how how many of you learned that that's what what evolution was survival of the fittest do you know they changed that right because they found out that wasn't the case it's it's the single most important element of evolution as we understood it that you had to have some adaptive benefit in order for that to continue if it wasn't a benefit then it wouldn't continue but the modern version of evolution is that things just happen it's not always a benefit so for example if you were a bird evolving on an island with no Predators well then you could evolve for a thousand years having messed up birds that can't fly very well no Predators if if if the Predators were there and they couldn't fly they would all get eaten but if there's no Predators they can just willy-nilly evolve randomly into whatever the hell they want to so the modern version of evolution pretty much completely rejects the original version of evolution that I was told was Rock Solid I was told Evolution was just a fact in school but now I'm told that the most basic element of how it worked now it's nothing like that it's really just it's just the evolution of what happened not the fittest now um but what about that fossil record would you say the entire um evolution is depends on just the fossil record no it does not because there's other evidence for example you know uh viruses although they're not alive so that shouldn't count I think bacteria some other stuff so in in a lab you can force things to evolve but I'm not sure you can turn a v bacteria into a germ like I don't know what I'm talking about but I think a bacteria is different than a germ I'm pretty sure so is there anything happening in the lab I just don't know actually is there anything happening in the lab there's definitely Evolution or is the lab just more more proof that you can you know breed a big dog into a little dog if you try I don't know but here's where it gets interesting uh Elon Musk um replied to this conversation with the saigh uh the the Sigh seemed to indicate that watching Tucker doubt Evolution was sort of anti-science but how do you believe in evolution if you also believe in the S simulation now you could say that the simulation just includes Evolution so it all happened it's all simulated but it all happened within the simulation just like everything else maybe but if we're a simulation it suggests there's probably a resource limit because everything seems to have a resource limit now not necessarily could be some future you know Unlimited Technology species but far more likely it would be a species Like Us in some ways that is limited in resources if it's limited in resources it's not going to build the whole universe in the simulation that would be crazy it's going to build the stuff you can see and then as you need to see other stuff let's say we you know we can go to see the backside of the moon for the first time that's when it becomes real it fills it in when you can see it now we do see in science that our observation does seem to change reality so that's not crazy so I would say that uh if you believe the simulation is a billion to one more likely than not being a simulation uh it's a little sketchy to say that evolution is true because in my view simulation doesn't require but very likely the past is created by the present so if you saw any evidence that like the double slid experiment in my view that's my own interpretation uh that is the present create in the past because when you look at it's only when you look at it that it's different in the past does that make sense the first time you look at the results for the double slit experiment without getting into details about it when you look at it that's the first time you know that there was an interference and again without the details you know there was an interference pattern but the interference pattern had to have existed before you looked at it because otherwise it wouldn't be there so by looking at it you've actually created the past for the first time now if you measure it without looking at it it also solidifies it into that interference pattern but the measurement is just another way of you know solidifying reality doesn't need to be a human it could be a measurement but in both cases the present created the past now I know some of you are going to say Scott you are misinterpreting that experiment to which I say hey whatever your name is no you're misinterpreting it and are so are all the uh scientists do you know why they're misinterpreting it because they can't handle the fact that the arrow of time is not what they think it is so they start with the assumption that you can't be changed in the past whereas I start with the assumption that changing the past is probably the way it works it's the most likely way it works so if you enter the Double SL experiment assuming the most likely way the world works is that your observations change the past well there it is it's right in front of you if you think that's not possible then you would interpret it a different way I suppose anyway um uh I saw CNO saying Mike cernovich the theory he posted today the theory of evolution people can't even figure out uh he goes the theory of evolution people can't even figure out where Co originated uh LMAO so do is that fair now that's a that's the dilber principle he's basically stating it in a more you know Common sensical headline way but the reason we can't figure out where Co originated from might be capability but it might be more to do with the people that everybody lies so the world is full of liars lying for lots of different reasons so if you look at anything that's happened during our time you can see it's mostly a bunch of lying but then you look at Evolution you're like oh I'm glad we totally nailed that yeah yeah the elections we have doubts about we've got we've got doubts about those thermometers but oh the Evolution's good we nailed the evolution um I saw Colin Wright on xay uh here here's his view he says the right can't convincingly accuse the woke left of quote denying biology you know the whole trans thing uh regarding biological sex if they themselves reject Evolution H does that make sense to you does it make sense that you can't doubt one part of science if you're doubting a different part of science how does that make sense isn't doubting science built in through science and can't I say most of it looks good but I doubt this part I thought that's a whole point I thought that's exactly what I can do I can say you got gravity right but I'm not so sure about climate change there there's no such thing as trusting science if you're trusting science you're doing it wrong science says don't trust me right science says hey people don't trust me that's his main message that's the number one thing it says don't trust me you better test this a lot all right so here's why uh yeah um and then Tucker says that God built it and I say that uh any filter that works keep doing it right it if having a god filter on things lets you organize your life in a productive way and raise your kids to be good citizens and all that it does appear to do that I'd say sure do some of that um but if it doesn't stop you from doing science that's the important part I mean you can't you can't ignore all of science because you disagree with one part of it all right here's some more science um Mario and Noel is reporting that uh study published in the annals of internal medicine so it's in their annals so in their animals U they studied fasting and they say it doesn't work for losing weight this is an R test technical doesn't work for losing weight do you believe that do you believe that fasting doesn't work for losing weight um that uh as long long as you eat the same amount of food over time you don't lose weight how is that even why do you even have to study that who who didn't understand that if you ate the same amount of food in the same time frame you would weigh the same no matter when you ate it did we really need to study that now don't um when you say fasting Works let's be specific uh fasting has benefits that are claimed for that are good for your body and your mental health right but not necessarily weight loss if if you're fasting for weight loss then all you're doing is eating less if you're doing it right so if if what you did is fast for a day and then the next day you ate the normal amount for that day of course you'd lose weight because you would have an entire day with no no calories so apparently what they tested was if you fast for a day and then eat twice as much the next day you won't lose weight did they really need to study that did anybody was that a surprise to somebody I don't know looks like bad science to me well end wokeness is reporting that the LA mayor Karen bass um her house was burglarized now I know what you're going to say that's an old story Scott we already know that Karen Bass the mayor of Los Angeles who was sort of a soft on crime person we already know that her house was burglarized and so why are you bringing it up again because it was burglarized a second time yep the the soft on crer on crime mayor just got burglarized a second time so here's uh here's my unpopular take on that if Dei never existed I would look at her and say h looks like she had some bad policies or you know maybe she'll correct it in the context of Dei when I see a black mayor who's clearly not getting the job done I say to myself huh looks like a Dei problem like the base problem is Dei and the reason I say that is I I think a better leader could fix it you know being being tougher on crime for example so is it my fault that I live in a world where I'm continuously reminded of Dei and then I see somebody who is black and is in charge and is failing what am I supposed to think if if the society primes me to say Dei Dei is why were you know looking for people and hiring people and voting for people of course I'm going to think that the problem is Dei now that's different from saying there's a problem with the person so you have to separate that one is a one is a system and the other is an individual so I'm not making a claim about the individual and indeed if it turns out she's really good at her job it's hard to tell from the outside but if it turns out she's really good at her job and and maybe even made one slip that maybe she'll fix pretty big one but if she fixed it I would give her credit so I don't know that there's something wrong with the individual but I do know that in the context of Dei they've created a situation where it's my first um assumption is my working assumption now do you think that's good for black people that when I see a black leader who's not getting it done that I think it's because of Dei not because necessarily there's something wrong with the person that's that's a whole different conversation you know the person might actually be qualified and it would be terribly terribly unfair to a qualified black leader to be you know painted with the same brush just because it's in the context of Dei I don't see how black people come out ahead with Dei to me it looks like a complete losing proposition and I think what's wrong about it is what Democrats get wrong every time they don't take into account the room you got to read the room right read the room that that's what Trump did correctly on abortion I think you know even if you don't like where he landed he read the room right he read the room right just exactly right right there's no right answer but he found he found the safest place to be on it for a president that's reading the room right then and Dei is reading the room so wrong and it's almost like ignoring that it matters what other people think of Dei no it's actually the most important thing the most important thing is how white people think about it but we're going to be really quiet in the short run in the long run we're going to form opinions that it's promoting unqualified people there's nothing you could do about that we're not broken there's nothing to fix you you designed a system that guarantees that um people are going to assume Dei hires are less qualified and the math suggests that it will often be true but not always of course so how's that a good situation for being black in America to me this would be just the worst freaking thing you know if you're capable you can be operating under this umbrella of assumption of incapability and I can't imagine anything that would be more just destructive to your entire ability to enjoy your life anyway get out of la la is Fallen uh there's a uh there's a campaign video I guess you call it that that is the strongest one I think maybe I've ever seen now think about what biggest statement that is it's a campaign ad just a two-minute ad might be the strongest one I've ever seen for any side at any time anywhere it was made by um Western lensman and Blake haban so I've posted it if you want to go see it I'm not going to um give it to you but I'll just tell you how it felt it it Promises at the beginning to tell you 25 ways that Biden is destroying America or the Democrats I guess um and it's going to do it in two minutes now when I heard that I'm like really 25 ways you're going to give me 25 ways in 2 minutes and I'm supposed to think that these are all credible so here's what I assumed the first five probably are going to be pretty good like things I might agree with like oh open border yeah that is destroying the country and then I thought by the time you get to 25 you're going to be into the weak stuff right just makes sense right you're going to put the strong stuff up a front and then I'm going to say oh yeah yeah yeah and then once you got me nodding nodding Along by the time you get to eight or nine then the list the 25 you've just hypnotized me like yeah yeah yeah oh that's right oh yeah yeah and then you get to the 25 and they might be weak but but but you're all you're all on board at that point didn't go like that all 25 are strong and when you see them together it's like your hair catches is on fire because when you see them together it does look like the Democrats are legitimately trying to destroy the country uh and you don't see it if you see any one of the 25 things individually because they all have a reason well we're working on this and there's a reason for that and well you didn't look at the tradeoff and well it's not a perfect world and you know everything's got its own little excuse but boy when you see all 25 of them together it looks like Democrats are literally in intentionally trying to destroy the country and I think there's something to that because when you hate something you will even subconsciously do everything you can to destroy it right it doesn't even mean it's a plan uh I wouldn't claim it's a plan I don't think I don't think there's a meaning where somebody said hey let's destroy the country in a variety of ways I think what it is is a lot of young people especially um may be seeing that the the elites stole everything that's worth stealing and left them nothing but crumbs now if I were 20 years old and I thought the Elites in both parties had stolen everything good and polluted the world and left it a Ashan crumbly mess with nothing but debt and War I would want to destroy that system and it wouldn't matter what I what happened I'd be like okay well anything you want to turn the boys the girls yeah go ahead I'm I'm down to that yeah what could go wrong so I do want to um yeah you should take your time to look at it it's on my X feed I posted it today so strong so congratulations to Blake abian and what whatever Western lensman did I'm not sure who did what I think Blake might have produced it actually I'm not sure but the but they work together on it in some way um but it's amazing it's probably the most persuasive thing I've seen in of a campaign ad New York Times has a guest opinion today and the title of the guest opinion is government surveillance keeps us safe so so is that scary to see that the paper of record is running a an opinion piece that says government surveillance of all the citizens can keep you safe you know everybody always says oh this is so 1984 this is the most 1984 thing I've ever seen it would be hard to top this one that's a Topper but the thing is I actually agree with it it does keep you safe it just takes your freedom away that's always the trade-off you know the government can do lots of things to keep you safe lock you into your house but you in the long run maybe you're not too happy about it um I think this government surveillance probably goes a long way to explaining why we haven't had worst Terror attacks since 911 I feel like the fact that we have no privacy is the only reason there haven't been major Terror attacks I I think that a lot of stuff must be getting thwarted uh in its infancy because they have complete ability to monitor just literally everything so that that's the most positive thing you put on it but no I'm not in favor of the government surveilling every single thing we do but I think it's a fact and it's not going to change here about this uh there's a business called sheets I don't know what they do shz and they're being sued by the government Biden Administration for discriminating uh for discriminating against minorities and specifically the form of discrimination is they require applicants to pass a criminal record U background check so sheets doesn't want to hirer people have criminal records but since there are more people with criminal records in the underserved communities uh that would be um now illegal according to the Biden Administration so the Biden Administration wants to force this company to hire um convicted felons so uh but you know what's ridiculous you know what's ridiculous I mean really do you really think there are 25 different ways that the Biden Administration is trying to literally destroy the country maybe 26 maybe 26 because this clearly is bad for the country it couldn't be any worse for the country and here it is and they're going to spend a lot of resources on this of all the things that the that the Biden Administration could do to root out unfairness and discrimination they had to find this one now doesn't that mean that everything else that's more important than this has been solved do they have so much resource so many resources that they could solve all the big dis discrimination problems they're they're all well handled but now they're working down the list and priorities and we're all the way down to the company that doesn't want to hire criminals they should hire more criminals or they'll go to jail or something fine probably so I now if you add this to the fact that uh the white supremacist that they were looking for in the military didn't exist I think things are really going well if you've got Dei hires in all the major cities and uh the worst remaining discrimination you could find is that they're H they don't want to hire criminals amazing well let's talk about Ukraine I saw a post by uh Joey manino and he says this in his post he said he had dinner with a friend from Ukraine and he said and he learned something the media is not reporting if you're a male citizen of Ukraine who lives outside the country and your passport expires you no longer can renew it at an embassy so if you're an Ukrainian man at another country mostly maybe to get away from Ukraine uh if your passport expires they won't renew it you have to come back to Ukraine and die in the meat grinder wow um so if you don't have a passport you can't stay in the country you're in but you also can't go back to the country some country should say you could come here because I'm pretty sure that the ukrainians the Ukrainian men who were living you know escaped Ukraine to get away from the draft they're probably educated and employable they'd probably be a pretty good group you know because they're they're not filtered for being criminals or anything they're filtered for being smart enough not to be part of a war and they had enough resources that they could get out of the country that probably suggests it would be a great group of people to have in your country so you know maybe somebody will open their doors and and make that more legal um but some other things we're learning um this from uh Brian Dean Wright I believe he's used to be in the intelligence services but now is not and um he's talking about how the war is lost basically the Ukraine war he says there are two problems one is massive corruption that we know about so it's going to be hard to keep shoveling the money when we know zinsky is stealing it and his lieutenants are and apparently that's documented now so we don't wonder if zinski is stealing the money yeah he is and I guess everybody knows it um but the other thing is that there are no human beings left in Ukraine to fight that the uh the the urban men disappeared cuz they could and the rural men are all dead so they just ran out of people so according to uh Brian Dean right uh the weapons aren't going to help as much as you want because they don't have anybody to fire them now that wouldn't be so bad I mean it's terrible but it wouldn't be so bad if they look like they could win right you'd say to yourself well that's the most horrible thing they lost all their men for a generation but if they won you know you can imagine that eventually they' spin it into a great sacrifice in the victory but they're not winning and indeed the whole goal that uh the Biden Administration has set down loud that it's just a cheap way to degrade the Russian military which I don't think most people care about but maybe some do uh but how's that working out the uh Politico reports that the Russian Army is larger by 15% than it was when it invaded Ukraine and their their industrial production is growing their military is getting stronger and apparently there's no risk to the economy so basically we made Russia stronger although I don't know that you can really tell that I'm not sure we know exactly what's happening in Russia you know that's probably propaganda too so I don't know how much Russia is winning but it doesn't look like they're losing um you know you can't believe anything from a war zone or from Russia or Ukraine but anyway David saaks is is on this case uh making it clear and I think he's correct he's making it clear that there is no win to be had and and that we lost the only thing we said we were trying to do which is degrade Russia Etc and I think I am a uh uh I have been one over to the side that the whole point of making Ukraine NATO is so NATO so Ukraine would have to buy weapons from uh American manufacturers and that Americans would pay the uh with our taxes to give to Ukraine so they could buy our weapons so basically it's just our own military-industrial complex looting our pockets and uh they're energy people trying to take Russia's energy and that sort of thing so I I see America as more of a criminal Enterprise than a military keeping the world safer democracy that's my take Ukraine looks entirely like a criminal Enterprise backed by an army uh because these stated claims are somewhat ludicrous whereas the more obvious explanation of what's going on you know CIA wants to protect their labs and you know we want to have closer assets to threaten Russia and we maybe we did want to degrade their military a little or you know uh get Putin out of office all that stuff but it mostly it looks like it's just a moneygrab corrupt uh criminal Enterprise and we're just need deep in it so I I'm rejecting any notion that America is the good guy in this situation I think we're I think we're the criminals in this situation that would be my take now now what is the solution for all of it well Trump has to avoid the obvious plot to assassinate him I I think we could say that out loud right I mean if they're trying to remove his secret servy protection while painting him as a a risk to democracy and a Hitler character that's a murder attempt now the fact that they figured out a legal way to murder somebody or attempt to murder uh that doesn't change the fact that what it is it it might IL legal but still murder so I would say our system is mostly blackmail bribery corruption and murder and that the uh thin veneer of a republic and a democracy and all that stuff is you know largely silly and absurd and clearly hasn't been with us for decades we're complicit unless we overthrow the corruption well unless it's working see that's the problem uh it always comes down to what are the Alternatives and I've said it before but I'm going to double down on it if it's true that we're not you know a Democratic Republic that doesn't mean we're worse off it just means we're not what we thought we were it definitely means some people are being screwed definitely means that definitely means the elites are getting richer but here's the problem that's every system if you show me a system where the elites don't not only stay Elite but they don't you know gain compared to the population and Rob them I've never seen that system what system is that so if every system robs the public for the benefit of the elite and if it doesn't it doesn't have the resources to field an army and protect itself it won't last so my take is the big Bigg ger and batter we are as a criminal Enterprise the longer we're going to last why do you think Russia is still in business and going to survive this war is it because they're a Democratic Republic no it's because they're a massive criminal Enterprise with the military just like us look at China do you think the elites are doing better than the people I think so I think so yeah think they're doing great and does that mean that in in a way conceptually they're robbing the people to keep themselves in power and yeah of course that's what it means that's exactly what it means so every system that is successful successful to the point where you know we think they should be in NATO let's say let's say that's the minimum level of a successful country is that we want them in NATO you don't get there without your elites being totally in charge and being able to control the government and the military so I think that all of the countries that are successful are criminal Enterprises because in the long run that's the model that works and like the Mafia the mafia might not want a lot of crime on its own street because it doesn't want to interfere with the bigger crimes it's doing so it could be that our criminal government would do quite a good job of you know reducing crime if the right members of it were in charge NATO is a Cel yeah in in a sense yeah I mean that doesn't that word fit perfectly because cels don't have to be illegal do they well I don't know maybe they do I'm not sure if that's baked into the definition of a cartel doesn't a cartel just mean a bunch of people with power who are operating together some way all right we're going to do a closing sip because I think you need it here's to you now do you think Trump could fix all of these problems I just mentioned how many of this criminal Enterprise stuff could Trump fix almost none I I yeah if he could fix any of this stuff he would have done some of it in the first term so it looks like whatever it is is stronger than all the presidents you know I don't think there's any president that can fix it um so here's what might happen I think the people you know the the elites as as we say the people in charge I think if Trump gets elected by a big enough margin they can't cheat him out of office and they can't put him in jail because there too many people who would go Nots I think they'll just try to wait him out you know they'll do everything they can to destroy him while he's in office but ultimately they don't want to reveal too much about themselves if they can just wait four years and go back to it running everything so I feel like they'll just waigh him out so there's one possibility that it won't be riots in the streets they must just say they might just say let's let's just keep this on a slow boil get through the four years get back in power start another war that sort of thing probably the the biggest problem would be if Trump doesn't fund Another War I think if the first thing Trump did is fund a new war he'd be fine he would be perfectly safe because everybody would be like ah yeah keep that war war guy in there um war is when your government tells you who the enemy is revolution has when the government's the enemy yeah all right that's all I got for you today on the platforms of um Rumble and You.
Tube and X I'm going to talk to the locals people the subscribers privately thanks for joining and I will see you soon bye for now going slow to change this because I know there's a lag I don't want to look like I cut you off too soon and the lag is over see you tomorrow I believe we're private now all right thank you how you like Today's Show I like I like getting compliments cartel wasn't the right word cabal cabal might be a better word you're right what is the definition of a cartel well thank you you're still here but you can't see me can you oh wait no we we're still live on everything why didn't that work local sporters own now it's going to work oh that didn't work it's still live on all the platforms looks like we have a bug in the system yeah there's a bug in the system so I won't tell you any secrets like I usually do because all the the other people still here they're being quiet because they don't want you to know they can still see me but the the same I usually use uh it didn't turn them off am I doing it wrong let me look at it again am I looking at the wrong thing it's local supporters only yeah so it's local support only then I update the stream and it didn't take it didn't work so it's just a a bug in system it worked yesterday all right that's all I got for today um locals people I'll do a man cave tonight see you tonight and uh yeah yeah there there's something wrong with the uh software it's not working right now but I'll see you all uh soon to this goodbye so taking my time okay I've sold long enough bye for now e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

weird good morning everybody and welcome
to the highlight of human civilization
so far it's called coffee with Scott
Adams and there's never been a finer
time in the history of the 13.9 billion
years of this universe and before that
but if you'd like to take this up to a
level that no one's ever seen all you
need for that is a cuper marker a glass
of tankered chalice time a Canen jug or
flask a vessel V kind fill it with your
favorite liquid I like coffee and join
me now for the unparallel pleasure the
doine here of the day thing makes
everything better it's called the
simultaneous sip it happens
now yeah we we're all good now it's all
coming
together all right let's look at the
news the silly
stuff and the serious
stuff well I like to follow uh the AI
news on several accounts on the
xplatform one of them is Rowan Chung
who's a good follow C hu n g Rowan Rowan
Jung anyway he reports that apple is
reportedly building a uh llm so an AI
that will be completely on the device so
your phone will not have to talk to
anything to be smart it will be AI uh on
its
own and that could be a really big deal
if you're not sure why because first of
all the speed would be completely
different if if you've had the
experience of trying to have a
conversation with an
AI here's my impression of it hey AI how
are you this
morning I am very good how are you well
I'm pretty good too uh you know what
what's the news
today the weather will be
59° and and that that awkward
pause just completely ruins the
conversational you know element you you
know you're talking to a computer
because of the pause but if it runs all
locally and it's got it the same speed
as conversational
speed it's going to be pretty
awesome all right and uh it will give
you better privacy
presumably are you following the story
of Grace price so she's the teenage kid
who's well I don't know teenage is she
still a kid I don't know if she's 18 or
not but uh she's got a documentary about
how our lifestyle and food especially
are G giving us cancer and she had a
stat that she has from a source she
didn't make it up herself that says that
up to 95% of cancer is caused by your
lifestyle and environmental factors and
there's a pool of studies that show that
that's the case does that sound right
right to you yeah Grace price is her
name do you think that 95% of cancer is
caused by lifestyle in
food it's not impossible
yeah it to me it sounds
high but not crazy like it it could be
it could be that
High um but here's what I feel about her
you know when when Greta was talking
about climate
change I thought to myself this isn't
really helping because I want to hear
from you know scientists and people who
know what they're talking about uh but
then but but then when Grace price does
her thing I'm totally
board should I be using the same
standard with her as I do with Greta or
is it because I think that Greta might
be wrong and I think that Grace Price is
Right that I'm judging her expertise by
just confirmation bias and the answer is
yes that's exactly what I'm
doing but I'm aware of it you know that
sometimes the best you can do about your
own bias is just to do a little audit
and say to yourself all right if this
situation were a little different or or
if this person telling me were a little
different would I be receiving this
differently and the answer is yes yes
yeah so basically I'm hearing what I
want to hear from Grace Pryce and so to
me it all looks very scientific and and
factual and by the way I really think
that but I'm also
aware that if I were wrong I would think
the same thing so so I've got that
little bit of just a little bit of self
filter but it's not stopping me I still
say she looks right to
me but just be aware of
it well I think the concept the uh the
topic of loneliness is becoming a bigger
and bigger issue and I think it it's
there's no end in sight for that there's
nothing that looks like it's changing it
immediately it will get fixed like
everything you we'll we'll fix the
loneliness problem but uh even Kathy
Griffin uh was saying in public and
somehow I think this is useful um I like
it when public
figures talk about their own experience
I like it less when public figures tell
me what kind of apples to eat and stuff
like that because I think they're
outside their expertise but when
somebody just tells me about their own
experience and it's some Universal
relatable thing yeah yeah do that please
so here's what Kathy Griffin says and by
the way I remind you I know that a lot
of you have a political opinion about
her that's negative but I've worked with
her she was the voice of Alice in the
Dilbert animated show and uh I really
like her so Kathy Griffin in person very
very likable you'd like her to anyway
she says I guess she got divorced
recently she says divorced women I'm
talking to you I am four months divorced
and I feel weak because I just can't get
used to waking up alone in the hotel
room
uh blah blah blah and I'm having trouble
adjusting any you ladies out there you
got to uh how did you get to a place
where you can enjoy waking up alone and
she has some dogs she brings one with
her she says now without dwelling on her
specific case I like the fact that she
could be a famous public figure and that
she can say with great vulnerability
that loneliness is like a it's really a
crippling problem for a lot of people
now the only thing I can add to this
story that would be useful is that um as
you know I have a subscription service
on the locals platform Scott adams.
locals.com many of them are watching
right now but I also do a uh for the
subscribers I do a private manave just
about every night from my garage SL
manave and although I didn't design it
this way it wasn't designed for this
purpose um
There's A good rule in marketing that
the audience tells you what your product
is if you ever heard that you don't tell
what the audience you don't tell your
customers what your product is you try I
mean that's what marketing is but in the
end they tell you what the product is
they tell you why they bought it and
what it's good for and why they're going
to buy it again and apparently the man
cave turned into a lot of people who
don't have anybody to talk to during the
day has something like a personal
experience
because when I do the band caves I'm
just interacting with the with the uh
comments the entire time so it's it's
like a conversation for shy people like
if you're not brave enough to go out and
like make a friend or join a group or
you be part of some larger organization
where you just meet people uh you can do
it with me so i' I've sort of morphed my
ambitions for the mancave which honestly
was just for
me I started doing the band cave just
because I thought it'd be nice to chat
with people and be fun but I've I've
learned that its importance to several
hundred people is that sometimes it's
the only humanlike experience they have
during the entire day the only Human
Experience so it feels like a a
necessity at this point so I'd invite
any of you who want to subscribe to that
it's uh pretty much every night at
different times but California time
usually between 4:30 in 6:30 I
started anyway uh RFK Jr was at a
Michigan rally and he says provocatively
I'm going to put the entire us Budget on
blockchain so that every American can
look at every B budget item in the
entire budget anytime they want 24 hours
a
day and then you can see if things cost
too much or we wasted money now I like
where that's heading and I love how RFK
Jr gets earned media
now whether or not this specific idea is
ever
implemented don't you love the fact that
he said it in
public that this is what I call the the
bad idea that's a good idea meaning that
in a sort of Hollywood writer's terms
sometimes you throw on a bad idea to
give you something to react to and say
well not that but it reminds me of
something that would actually work so I
love the fact he's throwing out this
idea if you're ask me is blockchain the
right way to do it and all that I don't
know I don't know I mean I might my
first instinct is blockchain would
probably just slow it down and I I don't
know exactly what you're buying by
having it on the blockchain so I I'd
have questions about the
specifics but I love the fact that he's
putting it out there and it's
provocative and it makes turns it into a
story so he gets all this free publicity
I'm talking about it in a positive way
but I would go further
if you want to control the
government build a
dashboard if you want to control the
whole
government build a dashboard One
dashboard that shows you the key
political things the budgets the status
the laws that are being you know coming
who voted for what but you'd have to
design it so well that it's not
overwhelming the the way to do it wrong
is there' be a solid page of government
boring data and you'd have to look for
whatever you wanted and it'd be just so
so boring and busy you couldn't use it
but suppose you open it up and it was a
let's say four to six charts that just
showed you the direction of things and
let's say one of the charts is crime so
you could click on it and then you could
explode it by City maybe you could look
at it by you know um Democrat versus
Republican that'd be a little more
provocative but I love to do that to
find out whose policies seem to be
working and imagine if you could just
drill down on all of those questions and
then at the bottom you could get the pro
the best pro and con argument on that
topic so the data itself doesn't tell
you the story you still need the
interpretation but you want the best
ones so imagine if you had that um
dashboard that anybody any citizen can
log into and you can just see everything
that's going on MoneyWise
um I think it'd be
amazing um
anyway so I think whoever builds that
dashboard will necessarily control the
world because what you put on the front
page will be what everybody cares about
so effectively you could front run all
of the
news you could you could make the the
news entities uh useless by Simply
Having a dashboard that wouldn't be the
news per se
but if you were the one who controlled
what got highlighted and what got you
know maybe put down in priority you
would have factly control the country
because if you wanted to highlight for
example we wasted a bunch of money on
this thing you just put on the front
page and say it's just the dashboard so
that's how easy it would be to control
the whole
country um rasmon did some polls on
whether people thought Trump was going
to get a fair trial in New York City 42%
of
us voters think that it's likely Trump
will be able to get a fair trial
42% I don't know how good you are at
math but let me fill you in 42 is less
than half less than half less than half
of the citizens PED in the United States
voters likely
voters don't believe that uh it's even
possible to get a fair trial in New York
City if you're
Trump now how many people do you think
say Not only would Trump get a fair
trial um but it's very likely what
percentage do you think say it's very
likely Trump will get a fair trial in
New York
City let's let's see how close you can
get on this
guess very good very good yeah a lot of
you are guessing 25% and it's
27% it's 27 yeah but I'm going to round
that off and say your 25 is correct and
once again your your Brilliance if not
your sex appeal is coming through again
let let me say that the sapo uh sapo
sexuals who uh were attracted to
intelligent people are probably just
having quite a time now because when
they see how smart you are that you can
answer a question like that with no
prior knowledge you just all knew it was
around the quarter amazing amazing
but uh 51% think that Trump won't get a
fair trial and uh 31% say it's you know
not at all
likely now here's my
thing if you have a situation in which
the general public which is pretty much
paying attention because it's Trump they
are paying
attention if more than half say he can't
get a fair trial how in the world do you
put him in in jail if he's
convicted if more than half of the
people watching say it's probably not
fair how do you do that you can't you
can't maintain the system if you put
them in jail
while than people think it's unfair or
very likely to be
unfair so it seems to me that should be
a grounds for challenging it but I don't
think legally it is is
it I go back to the
the interesting story of how
um speed limits are determined in
residential
neighborhoods I think I've told you this
before maybe it's just a California
thing I don't know but the way they
determine a speed limit in a new road if
it's a residential not not a freeway
because those are just standard speeds
but uh in the neighborhoods they'll
actually monitor how people actually
drive before they put up the speed limit
signs and they say okay it looks like
people just naturally think they can
drive 45 on the street so we'll lower it
to 35 because we know they'll cheat a
little bit so the idea here is that you
create a law that you believe people
will accept as reasonable because you
looked at all the reason subtracted 10
everybody knows you subtracted 10
everybody's happy so a very good way to
run a country is to see if people think
it would be fair and then do the thing
that most people think would be
fair that's stable but if you do the
thing that most people literally
majority think is not likely to be fair
and you do it right in front of them
that's your worst case
scenario worst case scenario they're
doing that right in front of
us well let's talk about the plot to
make biomics look good Zero Hedge is
talking about uh commercial real estate
foreclosures they their highest level in
a decade I don't know how big a deal
that is yet yet if you say the highest
in a decade because we do we do go
through you know periods of better and
worse for Real Estate but uh it's not
good certainly not good and a lot of
people ask the question why don't they
just turn them into public housing you
know why don't you just turn all these
offices into um condos and the answer is
the only way that would work according
to
Goldman is if you drop the prices is
50% so in other words you can charge way
more for a business office per square
foot than you can for a condo so yes
it's physically possible to change them
into housing but you would lose your
entire economic point of it so actually
you can't the only way you can do it is
if I suppose you know everybody who owns
these goes broke and then the value of
the thing goes down and then somebody
buys it for a penny on a dollar and then
they can turned it into residential
housing so uh also wrong Plumbing as as
somebody's pointing out now anything can
be
fixed yeah wrong Plumbing could be
turned into right Plumbing at some
expense but very
expensive all right uh but it does look
like as Zero Hedge notes uh that the fed
and everybody are probably trying to
just push the problem forward so that
trumps in office when it collapses it
looks like set
up it looks like they know it's going to
collapse and they if they could just
hold it off until Trump gets elected
it's his
problem because I I think 90% of
politics is hoping that the economy did
well during your your rule so you can
say it is what you did because I
honestly I can't really think of
anything that bomic
did I mean that you know in theory it
lowered some drug prices but I don't
think that's like you know resounding
through the economy in general so a lot
of it is uh you know this is a the
dilber filter on things things happen
because they're going to happen anyway
and then the leaders take credit for it
that's the way the real world Works
people take credit for things that were
going to happen anyway it's that's how
everything
works so let's check in on the plot to
assassinate Trump now as you know the
plot to assassinate Trump is to make it
look like an accident so they're trying
to um talk him up as a threat to
democracy so that lots of people have a
reason to kill him because they think
he's Hiller so first you create the
motivation and you brainwash you know
millions of people into thinking oh my
God if I could stop Hitler I could do it
so that part we see an action that's the
whole he's trying to ruin um democracy
thing here's AOC talking about it she
said uh Trump who is not uh he he seeks
to dismantle American democracy I am
taking that personally very seriously
because we will not be able to organize
for any movement toward anything if we
are facing the jailing of dissidents
this is the kind of authoritarianism
that he threatens we have to take it
seriously the jailing of
dissidents where have I seen something
like that happen before the jailing of
dissidence well a dissident would be
like a protester a protester where have
I seen a protester being put in jail for
protesting oh the entire January 6 hoax
in which the thoroughly corrupt members
of Congress who should all be in jail
the ones on the January 6 committee
should definitely be in jail and uh if
if Trump only does one thing and he puts
them all in
jail for real crimes I don't want him to
make up any crimes has to be a real
crime but uh that would be one of the
best things that happened in the country
and if it ripped the country tree apart
I'm okay with
that totally down to that see here's the
thing with somebody calling your
bluff you've got to call them on it it's
your only choice otherwise they own you
if people can scare you and Bluff you
and threaten you and make you change
what you do well they own you if you
don't want to be owned you've got to
punch them in the teeth so to speak not
really no violence
so obviously the January 6 people were
jailed for being dissidents uh this is
another case we've seen so many of the
Democrats accusing Republicans of
exactly what they're doing as they're
talking as she's talking her team is
putting dissidents in jail as she's
talking now what would be the example of
where any Republican has put a dissident
in
jail I can't think of any can you think
of any even
one oh maybe a Sange but that wasn't
really just a republican
thing and he wasn't a citizen so that's
a little bit different um and we didn't
put him in jail so that's that is
different all right so so part one of
trying to kill Trump uh is going well
for for the Democrats so because the
Democrats can say this out loud without
being challenged at least
without being challenged on by their own
team they can say that Trump is trying
to dismantle democracy now as Mike Ben
has taught you uh that that creates the
predicate so that the intelligence
people can do everything that they would
do internationally to other countries
they can do internally because hey if
you're trying to save democracy there's
you know you got to pull out all the
stops so this is when you see the
Democrats say he's trying to
get rid of democracy because he's an
authoritarianism uh because of his
authoritarianism you should interpret
that as an OP um it's part of the
brainwashing of America and it's to get
him killed or jailed and that's what it
is and there's there's no other way to
see it really if you're even a little
bit aware of what's
happening so that's now how about the
plot to jail him so Jonathan turle is
talking about that so if they don't jail
him and get him killed in prison they're
going to try to kill him on the outside
by making people think he's
Hiller and also by taking away his
secret service protection so the
Democrats are trying to do all three
paint him his Hiller take away his
secret service protection and just as an
insurance policy try to put him in jail
on fake charges or trumped up
charges so Jonathan turle is talking
about uh the fact that uh brag
the da is uh he's going to start talking
to David pecker who is the uh head of
the national Inquirer who is part of the
story now as Turley points
out uh Pecker's part of the
story um has nothing to do with the
charges do you do you understand that so
pecker had to do with the um suppressing
of the story of St Stormy Daniels but
there are no charges and no law broken
to suppress the story so nobody's in
trouble for suppressing the story and
the one and only thing that David pecker
knows is that part that there was an
effort to suppress the story about
Stormy Daniels but since there's no
crime involved with that and it doesn't
tell you anything about the other crimes
why is that the first
witness why would he be the first
witness if nothing he has to say is
relevant to any of the crimes that are
being charged
well because you're watching a porno and
all pornos start the
same so Bragg is the uh
fluffer and his job is to get uh to get
the uh the pecker situation all firmed
up so he's got to get that pecker
situation all firmed up um so brag being
the fluffer you'll get that going and
that's really just to prepare you for
the we're all going to get
so you always start by firming up the
pecker before giving the good hard
that the public is is waiting
for and Trump of course so that makes
sense meanwhile on Meet the Press uh the
uh fake news is having trouble
supporting their own fake polls
because here's just here's a current
poll that was presented on uh Meet the
Press so the own people are presenting
their their own results it look like and
I read this on Eric Aban an's post he's
got a he's a good follow too on on
X um so here are some of the things so
comparing Trump to Biden on handling a
crisis Trump is up 46 to
42 who is strong who has a strong record
as president Trump is better 46 to 39
who is competent and effective Trump is
better 47 to 36 that's pretty big
difference un competent and effective
dealing with inflation and cost of
living Trump by a mile 52 compared to 30
and then has the necessary mental and
physical health Trump by a mile 45% to
26 now I don't think you need to brag
about 45% think that you're mentally and
physically capable but in the context of
politics there's a big difference it it
does suggest that even the Democrats
think that Biden is degraded now imagine
if you will that you've pulled the
public on each of these individual
qualities of President and they do look
like the important ones right handling a
crisis strong record competent effective
mentally healthy physical dealing with
inflation and those are the that's those
are important things that's all the big
stuff and Trump dominates all the big
top
so wouldn't that suggest that the
election isn't going to be anywhere near
close what did the polls tell you oh
it's B tie how in the world are we
supposed to believe any of
this that the detailed polling shows
Trump just
annihilating uh Biden on all the
important stuff all of it there's
nothing that Biden's leading on and yet
the the polls are be close Biden's
actually leading in some
polls how how in the world can we
explain this
polling it looks like the polling is
completely fake at least some of it I
mean I assume that the the top number is
the fake if if the bottom number shows
that Trump is leading on everything that
matters how in the world could he be
leading in the polling because You'
think that if the same people who were
just Pro Biden they knew they were doing
a poll that involved Trump and Biden
wouldn't they also say that Biden was
winning on the individual
categories wouldn't
they if you were in the bag for Biden
and you just want to say Trump bad Biden
good you would say that Biden was
healthier you'd say he's better for the
economy but they're not even willing to
do that and he's still
Tai okay there's something deeply wrong
with what we saying I don't know what it
is I really
don't well let's check in on the uh all
the conspiracy theories I swear to God
you know sometimes it's hard to have a
conservative sort of Republican audience
because you know you guys and I'm
talking to all of you you know you guys
have some wild conspiracy theories am I
right like one of them is that the
government and especially the Democrats
are packed with a bunch of sex offenders
that haven't been caught yet it's like
some big you know
pedopile conspiracy
theory like you you guys will believe
anything you're believing that the top
people in the Democrat Party are a whole
bunch of
pedos
crazy well next story is that President
Obama's former senior policy advisor
rahimin Shai has been charged with child
oh okay okay well maybe you're right
sometime s okay I'm going to give you
this one all right I'll give you this
turns out it's a whole party full up
exactly what you
thought so yeah Colin rug was reporting
this on X um so the senior policy
advisor is being charged with sex
offenses let's just say he had some bad
stuff on his computer some bad
stuff and he worked uh on the us
strategy to combat terrorism and
terrorists so while he was helping us
fight Al-Qaeda and the
Taliban the children were fighting him
off or something like that I guess there
were some kind of allegations they're
allegations people he's innocent till
proven
guilty so take your conspiracy
theories even though they look
suspiciously
supportable anyway he wasn't in charge
of ordering the pizza and hot dogs for
Obama but you know you know where that
story's
going well thankfully um the the
Democrats are trying to get those
corrupt Republicans out of office by
having a sweep and winning everything in
2024 and uh oh here's a story about Ted
Lou he's accused of using donor money to
give $50,000 donation to
Stanford who then soon after admitted
his
child to
Stanford
so that's probably a
coincidence am I
right and uh I tell you when I give
money to a politician what I'm really
hoping the politician spends it on is uh
bribing a college to get his kid into it
now there's no evidence that's what
happened that's simply an
allegation and we have a correlation but
not a
causation it could be that he loves
Stanford so much that he wanted to give
them money and he had this donor money
so he gave him that it had nothing to do
with the admission of his
child innocent until proven
guilty
right sometimes it's hard to say inoc
till proven guilty but let's try to keep
that standard
well if you're watching the uh protester
situation at Columbia University I'm not
sure I'd call it protesting so much as
anti-Semitism and uh it's got It's
become uh super dangerous and scary if
you're a Jewish student or even if
you're Jewish and anywhere near that
situation but uh apparently they built a
tent city in the middle of the
campus um the an orthodox Rabbi who I
guess is associated with Columbia and
Barnard he sent out a WhatsApp uh
message to 290 Jewish students and he
said uh you know maybe they should go
home until it's safe to go to
college he actually said you should
consider going home and just dropping
out of college until it's safe and then
come back now that's not a very
practical suggestion for most
people you can't really easily drop out
of college if that's your whole plan
right um but that's how bad it
is now you might say to yourself Scott
this is
terrible because um it's so terrible
because not
only have the uh the protesters create a
highly anti-semitic situation and it's
scary and there actually been physical
attacks on Jewish students Etc I think
somebody at Yale got stabbed at a
protest um so it's getting really dicey
and dicey but as bad as it is
now um I don't think you should be super
worried
yet I wouldn't worry until the Colombia
tent people start digging
tunnels if you hear that the Columbia
protesters have started to build
tunnels then that's the next level of
worrying I I would take your concern up
to another level right now I would put
it at the level of seriously seriously
concerning and must be fixed
immediately but I think if they start
are building tunnels under the
tents I'd take that up another level at
least one more
Defcon so that's my
standard once they got
tunnels then you got to worry all
right anyway um but I think that if they
do build tunnels I think there's a
theoretical number of uh migrants who
could be urinating Outdoors that would
flood the
tunnels H anyway let's not solve yet
let's wait till it's a
problem uh let's see the Democrats have
a new campaign ad showing uh a young
woman who's trying to go to another
state to get an abortion because Alabama
Law would prohibit it and uh the the
theatrical uh approach that the
advertising campaign is taking is that
you see the pregnant woman being stopped
by the Alabama Police saying you can't
cross state lines to get an abortion and
she's like frisked and
arrested now apparently that's not yet a
law but there are allegedly can you give
me a fact check on
this um
allegedly that Alabama is looking at uh
making it illegal to go to another state
to get an abortion where it is
illegal is that actually something that
Republicans are dumb enough to
do is that actually being discussed
because I have trouble B in that it
sounds like just something made up right
now I wouldn't be surprised if there are
some people who have suggested it
because there's always some people who
suggest everything but I can't IM
imagine there's any serious effort in
Alabama to stop somebody from driving
across the state line is
there can can anybody give me a fact
check on that is
there because I I'd ask some serious
questions if that's if that's the case
regardless of what you think about
abortion your state can't stop you from
driving to another state and doing
what's legal in that state there's no
way that that's going to be a law is it
I don't
know we've seen some crazy things but I
can't imagine that would become a
law um meanwhile at Steve bannon's War
Room there's uh some new information
from Kurt olssen he's an attorney and uh
I guess he's got some new information
you've probably heard this before but
what's new is that they're using the
updated information about the Dominion
machines their claims about them
allegations I'll call them um that they
found some uh let's
say data security issues I'll tell you
what they are in a moment and that
they're updating some uh supreme court
filings so there's some kind of Supreme
Court case that um is being pushed
forward doesn't mean the Supreme Court
will take
it it's just you know an application of
some sort for them to take it but of
course they don't take most things so
we'll see but here are the claims so
Kurt Olson says his Security Experts
have found the following that in the
2020 and 22 2022
elections um that Dominion used altered
software and lied about it that's the
allegation meaning that um they said
they were using one version of software
but the actual election was run on a
different version now is that a
problem that's like a really big
problem that's as big as you can
get if the system was checked out for
security with one version of software
and then ran a different
version that's that's the same as not
checking it for
security I mean or at least it leaves a
big hole but that's not the only thing
also in those last two elections um they
said they pre performed pre-election
tests on the
machines which would sound like they
tested all the machines before the
election that's how I interpret that but
the claim is that they didn't they
didn't test the machines they only
tested some
spares in other words they only tested
machines that were not used in the
election and said they tested the
machines used in the election by testing
machines that were not used in the
election is that a
problem yeah could be kind of sketchy
but then the third one is the funniest
one that the claim is that the master
encryption key was left open in plain
text that anyone who knew where to look
could find out how to have God control
over the entire election simply by
knowing where to look they wouldn't have
to hack anything they just have to know
where to look and and it was so so
unsecure the claim is that you could
have changed anything happening in the
system without
detection now do you believe that now
I'm going to say that there's some
pushback on the claim that you could do
massive election machine cheating and
not get
caught because there are some
controls right there there are some
audits there are some checks so it does
seem to me that some types of
misbehavior would get caught but does
that mean that every kind of cheating
can get caught because if you could
check the counting machines as well as
the voting machines and I think it was
all part of one network so you could you
had control of more than one kind of
machine the vote and also the count of
the vote uh do you think that the
allegation will
stand that you could you could change
something in the voting machines that
that wouldn't be
detected so so the wouldn't be detected
part is the part I think would be the
hardest to prove because I would imagine
that Dominion will have some kind of
argument that sounds like well yeah you
can make those changes but we would
obviously catch
them so we'll see if that's a good
argument but I think that would be the
argument but what else would it be right
if it were you you would argue yeah we
would catch that and here's how we would
catch
it so I don't know if this is enough to
get it into the Court however anybody
who's making a claim that the election
systems are secure is going to have to
deal with the fact that they found three
potential problems that don't mean they
were exploited so remember separate the
two topics one topic is you know did
anybody do anything bad on the election
and the other topic is could they was it
possible but maybe they just didn't do
it and I think the question was it
possible
is looking uh more credible than it has
before but remember all these all these
election claims they almost all turn out
not to be true so if we were look at it
from the 30,000 foot level and I said
hey there's another Claim about the
election you should bet against
it do you
agree if I said there's another claim
but I didn't give you any details about
the
elections What would you
bet well the smart bet you know is 20
to1 in favor of it not being you know
not being
conclusive so we'll see these are pretty
big pretty big claims uh but then Steve
Bannon ask the question would Murdoch
have won that gigantic Fox News case in
which Tucker was saying things about the
security of the election systems would
Murdoch have won that case if he had had
these three pieces of information and he
could have said in that trial well we
don't know what happened but here's your
security key right
here imagine if during the trial where
Fox News you know was Under Fire for
saying the election machines were not
secure imagine if the
defense uh had pulled out a document and
they said you know your encryption
security key here it is and then just
walk walk in front of the jury you know
not that they could care read the digits
would just say look here's the
encryption key do you do you know who
had access to this everybody who knew
where to look wouldn't that be the end
of the
case like how could you sit in the jury
and let and let's say that that evidence
held up against cross-examination and
everything if that held up that it
really was there and if you knew where
to look you could find it now here's the
part I don't know how many people had
access to that
because you'd still have to have access
to the system before you could find
something on the system so at the very
least it would mean that any of the
texts using the system could have could
have thwarted it so an inside job would
still be possible but probably has to be
an inside job unless the hackers can get
in and maybe they can so we'll keep an
eye on that if you had applied the
dilber filter to the election what would
it have predicted
now the dilbur filter says that all big
organizations operate super
inefficiently and selfishly and stupidly
and everything's a lie that's the dilver
filter we were told that um this massive
Enterprise of you know machines and
technology and how it's all tied
together in this complex system was
Flawless if you've ever had any
experience in a big company or any big
organization there's no big organization
that could pull this off
flawlessly the the number of uh you know
alleged problems with the system are
exactly what I would have
predicted and I I think I did maybe not
in the right words but if you had any
experience in a Dilbert like world and
this is a whole bunch of Dilbert worlds
you know every election Precinct is a
little Dilbert
world people don't have the ability to
to do this
flawlessly that's not something humans
can do humans cannot pull off this level
of complexity and
organization without a lot of problems
so as soon as you were told that we
don't have any
problems every every antenna should have
gone up wait a minute you're in exactly
a situation where 100% of the time there
are problems and big ones but this is
the only time that not not the
case would you have believed it no the
dilber filter is very predictive if it's
a big organization people are cheating
and lying and bullshitting every time
not sometimes not most of the
time every time it's just a as something
to do with scale if you get enough
people in one place doing you know some
kind of common thing a lot of them are
going to be bad people you can't avoid
it
all right let's uh let's take that and
apply that to uh let's say climate
change have you noticed that checking
the temperature the thermometers around
the country remind you of checking of
voting
machines let's say in both cases it's a
very large
Enterprise with very complicated lots of
moving Parts lots of human beings
involved uh a lack of transparency
very high
stakes people have a lot of money
involved how often is that going to be
corrupt if you use the dilbur filter the
dilbur filter would say that climate
change would be corrupt 100% of the time
and that the reading of the thermometers
isn't much different from the making
sure your election your counting
machines and your voting machines are
all accurate and there's no security
problems and that all the people working
on them did the thing to keep them
secure because remember the security of
dominions machines I think this is fair
to say is not about their
design because nobody said yet I haven't
seen anybody say this that they're
designed
poorly it it appears that the humans are
the
problem if somebody left an
unencrypted you know basically a
password to the whole machine to give
you God capability
that feels more like a human problem
like somebody should have known not to
do that it doesn't exactly sound like a
technology problem I mean it it looks
like it was done
intentionally but you know in the real
world incompetence explains almost
everything so we can't tell in this case
so I would say I would take the dilver
filter to The Climate a thermometer
measuring world and I'd say there's not
really any chance the humans can do that
as accurately as the experts tell us so
I have the same opinion on the voting
machines as I do on climate change that
when you've got that level of complexity
and money's involved and all that that's
not something people can do to to a
level of perfection that you would
want now let's talk about
Evolution I love that evolution is in
the headlines
again it's just the ultimate provocative
thing so t was on Joe Rogan the other
day and said Tucker said that he doesn't
believe in evolution he does believe you
know in species changing over time in
the sense that you know you could breed
a dog to be taller or bigger and you
know maybe finches can have bigger or
smaller beaks or change their colors but
according to Tucker and this is not my
view this is Tucker human evolution has
never been demonstrated by the fossil
record
would you agree with that
statement science does not agree with
that statement but do you agree with it
that the fossil record does not prove
human
evolution and that in fact the the the
record doesn't show anything else
evolving
either it can show you it can show you a
fossil of one thing and it can show you
a fossil of another
thing but you can't really tell that the
one thing turned into the other thing
because the because the fossil record is
not that accurate now to argue I'm going
to argue both sides you know so I want
to Steelman this as much as possible so
it doesn't just sound
absurd the theory the so-call theory of
evolution has a ton of evidence in favor
of it a ton of
evidence I mean almost as much as
climate change
almost as much evidence
as the fact that our elections are all
secure and and no problem at all those
are three things that have a ton of
evidence the first two are ridiculously
[Laughter]
false and when I say false I'm not
making an allegation of my own about the
voting machines so I can stay out of
legal trouble I'm saying I don't see any
situation in which this level of
complexity is going to lead to humans
getting it flawlessly
right evolution is pretty complicated
too a lot of moving parts and a lot of
money
involved what what are the odds that we
got this one
right yeah here's a little mind Bender
for you when you were in uh school did
you learn that uh Evolution was the
survival of the fittest how how many of
you learned that that's what what
evolution was survival of the
fittest do you know they changed that
right because they found out that wasn't
the
case it's it's the single most important
element of evolution as we understood it
that you had to have some adaptive
benefit in order for that to continue if
it wasn't a benefit then it wouldn't
continue but the modern version of
evolution is that things just happen
it's not always a benefit so for example
if you were a bird evolving on an island
with no
Predators well then you could evolve for
a thousand years having messed up birds
that can't fly very
well no
Predators if if if the Predators were
there and they couldn't fly they would
all get eaten but if there's no
Predators they can just willy-nilly
evolve randomly into whatever the hell
they want to so the modern version of
evolution pretty much completely rejects
the original version of evolution that I
was told was Rock
Solid I was told Evolution was just a
fact in school but now I'm told that the
most basic element of how it worked now
it's nothing like that it's really just
it's just the evolution of what happened
not the
fittest now um but what about that
fossil
record would you say the entire um
evolution is depends on just the fossil
record no it does not because there's
other evidence for example you know uh
viruses although they're not alive so
that shouldn't count I think bacteria
some other stuff so in in a lab you can
force things to
evolve but I'm not sure you can turn a v
bacteria into a
germ like I don't know what I'm talking
about but I think a bacteria is
different than a
germ I'm pretty
sure so is there anything happening in
the lab I just don't know actually is
there anything happening in the lab
there's definitely Evolution or is the
lab just more more proof that you can
you know breed a big dog into a little
dog if you
try I don't
know but here's where it gets
interesting
uh Elon Musk um replied to this
conversation with the saigh uh the the
Sigh seemed to indicate that watching
Tucker doubt
Evolution was sort of
anti-science but how do you believe in
evolution if you also believe in the S
simulation now you could say that the
simulation just includes
Evolution so it all happened it's all
simulated but it all happened within the
simulation just like everything else
maybe but if we're a simulation it
suggests there's probably a resource
limit because everything seems to have a
resource limit now not necessarily could
be some future you know Unlimited
Technology species but far more likely
it would be a species Like Us in some
ways that is limited in resources if
it's limited in resources it's not going
to build the whole universe in the
simulation
that would be crazy it's going to build
the stuff you can see and then as you
need to see other stuff let's say we you
know we can go to see the backside of
the moon for the first time that's when
it becomes real it fills it in when you
can see it now we do see in science that
our observation does seem to change
reality so that's not
crazy so I would say that uh if you
believe the simulation is a billion to
one more likely than not being a
simulation uh it's a little sketchy to
say that evolution is true because in my
view
simulation doesn't
require but very
likely the past is created by the
present so if you saw any evidence that
like the double slid experiment in my
view that's my own interpretation uh
that is the present create in the past
because when you look at it's only when
you look at it that it's different in
the past does that make sense the first
time you look at the results for the
double slit experiment without getting
into details about it when you look at
it that's the first time you know that
there was an interference and again
without the details you know there was
an interference pattern but the
interference pattern had to have existed
before you looked at it because
otherwise it wouldn't be there so by
looking at it you've actually created
the past for the first time now if you
measure it without looking at it it also
solidifies it into that interference
pattern but the measurement is just
another way of you know solidifying
reality doesn't need to be a human it
could be a measurement but in both cases
the present created the
past now I know some of you are going to
say Scott you are misinterpreting that
experiment to which I say hey whatever
your name is no you're misinterpreting
it and are so are all the uh scientists
do you know why they're misinterpreting
it because they can't handle the fact
that the arrow of time is not what they
think it is so they start with the
assumption that you can't be changed in
the
past whereas I start with the assumption
that changing the past is probably the
way it works it's the most likely way it
works so if you enter the Double SL
experiment assuming the most likely way
the world works is that your
observations change the past well there
it is it's right in front of you if you
think that's not possible then you would
interpret it a different way I
suppose anyway
um uh I saw CNO saying Mike cernovich
the theory he posted today the theory of
evolution people can't even figure out
uh he goes the theory of evolution
people can't even figure out where Co
originated uh
LMAO so
do is that fair now that's a that's the
dilber
principle he's basically stating it in a
more you know Common sensical headline
way but the reason we can't figure out
where Co originated
from might be capability but it might be
more to do with the people that
everybody
lies so the world is full of liars lying
for lots of different reasons so if you
look at anything that's happened during
our time you can see it's mostly a bunch
of
lying but then you look at Evolution
you're like oh I'm glad we totally
nailed that yeah yeah the elections we
have doubts about we've got we've got
doubts about those thermometers but oh
the Evolution's good we nailed the
evolution
um I saw Colin Wright on xay uh here
here's his view he says the right can't
convincingly accuse the woke left of
quote denying biology you know the whole
trans thing uh regarding biological sex
if they themselves reject
Evolution H does that make sense to you
does it make sense that you can't doubt
one part of science if you're doubting a
different part of
science how does that make
sense isn't doubting science built in
through science and can't I say most of
it looks good but I doubt this
part I thought that's a whole point I
thought that's exactly what I can do I
can say you got gravity right but I'm
not so sure about climate
change there there's no such thing as
trusting science if you're trusting
science you're doing it wrong science
says don't trust
me right science says hey people don't
trust me that's his main message that's
the number one thing it says don't trust
me you better test this a
lot all right
so here's why uh
yeah um and then Tucker says that God
built
it and I say that uh any filter that
works keep doing it right it if having a
god filter on things lets you organize
your life in a productive way and raise
your kids to be good citizens and all
that it does appear to do that I'd say
sure do some of that um but if it
doesn't stop you from doing science
that's the important part I mean you
can't you can't ignore all of science
because you disagree with one part of
it all right here's some more science um
Mario and Noel is reporting that uh
study published in the annals of
internal
medicine so it's in their
annals so in their
animals U they studied fasting and they
say it doesn't work for losing weight
this is an R test technical doesn't work
for losing weight do you believe that do
you believe that fasting doesn't work
for losing
weight um that uh as long long as you
eat the same amount of
food over time you don't lose weight how
is that even why do you even have to
study
that who who didn't understand that if
you ate the same amount of food in the
same time frame you would weigh the same
no matter when you ate it did we really
need to study
that now don't
um when you say fasting Works let's be
specific uh fasting has benefits
that are claimed for that are good for
your body and your mental health right
but not necessarily weight
loss if if you're fasting for weight
loss then all you're doing is eating
less if you're doing it
right so if if what you did is fast for
a day and then the next day you ate the
normal amount for that day of course
you'd lose
weight because you would have an entire
day with no no calories so apparently
what they tested was
if you fast for a day and then eat twice
as much the next day you won't lose
weight did they really need to study
that did anybody was that a surprise to
somebody I don't know looks like bad
science to me well end wokeness is
reporting that the LA mayor Karen bass
um her house was
burglarized now I know what you're going
to say that's an old story Scott we
already know that Karen Bass the mayor
of Los Angeles who was sort of a soft on
crime person we already know that her
house was burglarized and so why are you
bringing it up again because it was
burglarized a second
time yep the the soft on crer on crime
mayor just got burglarized a second
time so here's uh here's my unpopular
take on
that if Dei never existed
I would look at her and say h looks like
she had some bad policies or you know
maybe she'll correct
it in the context of Dei when I see a
black mayor who's clearly not getting
the job done I say to myself huh looks
like a Dei
problem like the base problem is Dei and
the reason I say that is I I think a
better leader could fix it you know
being being tougher on crime for
example
so is it my fault that I live in a world
where I'm continuously reminded of Dei
and then I see somebody who is black and
is in charge and is
failing what am I supposed to
think if if the society primes me to say
Dei
Dei is why were you know looking for
people and hiring people and voting for
people of course I'm going to think that
the problem is Dei now that's different
from saying there's a problem with the
person so you have to separate that one
is a one is a system and the other is an
individual so I'm not making a claim
about the individual and indeed if it
turns out she's really good at her job
it's hard to tell from the outside but
if it turns out she's really good at her
job and and maybe even made one slip
that maybe she'll
fix pretty big one but if she fixed it I
would give her credit
so I don't
know that there's something wrong with
the
individual but I do know that in the
context of
Dei they've created a situation where
it's my first um
assumption is my working
assumption now do you think that's good
for black people that when I see a black
leader who's not getting it done that I
think it's because of
Dei not because necessarily there's
something wrong with the person that's
that's a whole different conversation
you know the person might actually be
qualified and it would be terribly
terribly unfair to a
qualified black leader to be you know
painted with the same brush just because
it's in the context of Dei I don't see
how black people come out ahead with Dei
to me it looks like a complete losing
proposition and I think what's wrong
about it is what Democrats get wrong
every
time they don't take into account the
room you got to read the
room right read the room that that's
what Trump did correctly on abortion I
think you know even if you don't like
where he landed he read the room right
he read the room right just exactly
right right there's no right answer but
he found he found the safest place to be
on it for a president that's reading the
room right then and Dei is reading the
room so wrong
and it's almost like ignoring that it
matters what other people think of
Dei no it's actually the most important
thing the most important thing is how
white people think about it but we're
going to be really quiet in the short
run in the long run we're going to form
opinions that it's promoting unqualified
people there's nothing you could do
about that we're not
broken there's nothing to
fix you you designed a system that
guarantees that um people are going to
assume Dei hires are less
qualified and the math suggests that it
will often be true but not always of
course so how's that a good situation
for being black in America to me this
would be just the worst freaking thing
you know if you're capable you can be
operating under this umbrella of
assumption of
incapability and I can't imagine
anything that would be
more just destructive to your entire
ability to enjoy your
life anyway get out of la la is
Fallen uh there's a uh there's a
campaign video I guess you call it that
that is the strongest one I think maybe
I've ever seen now think about what
biggest statement that is it's a
campaign ad just a two-minute ad might
be the strongest one I've ever seen for
any side at any time anywhere
it was made by um Western lensman and
Blake
haban so I've posted it if you want to
go see it I'm not going to um give it to
you but I'll just tell you how it felt
it it Promises at the beginning to tell
you 25 ways that Biden is destroying
America or the Democrats I guess um and
it's going to do it in two minutes now
when I heard that I'm like really
25
ways you're going to give me 25 ways in
2 minutes and I'm supposed to think that
these are all credible so here's what I
assumed the first
five probably are going to be pretty
good like things I might agree with like
oh open border yeah that is destroying
the country and then I thought by the
time you get to
25 you're going to be into the weak
stuff right just makes sense right
you're going to put the strong stuff up
a front and then I'm going to say oh
yeah yeah yeah and then once you got me
nodding nodding Along by the time you
get to eight or nine then the list the
25 you've just hypnotized me like yeah
yeah yeah oh that's right oh yeah yeah
and then you get to the 25 and they
might be weak but but but you're all
you're all on board at that
point didn't go like
that all
25 are strong and when you see them
together it's like your hair catches is
on fire because when you see them
together it does look like the Democrats
are legitimately trying to destroy the
country uh and you don't see it if you
see any one of the 25 things
individually because they all have a
reason well we're working on this and
there's a reason for that and well you
didn't look at the tradeoff and well
it's not a perfect world and you know
everything's got its own little excuse
but boy when you see all 25 of them
together it looks like Democrats are
literally in intentionally trying to
destroy the
country and I think there's something to
that because when you hate
something you will even subconsciously
do everything you can to destroy it
right it doesn't even mean it's a plan
uh I wouldn't claim it's a plan I don't
think I don't think there's a meaning
where somebody said hey let's destroy
the country in a variety of ways I think
what it is is a lot of young people
especially um may be seeing that the the
elites stole everything that's worth
stealing and left them nothing but
crumbs now if I were 20 years old and I
thought the Elites in both parties had
stolen everything good and polluted the
world and left it a Ashan crumbly mess
with nothing but debt and
War I would want to destroy that
system and it wouldn't matter what I
what happened I'd be like okay well
anything you want to turn the boys the
girls yeah go ahead I'm I'm down to that
yeah what could go wrong so I do want to
um yeah you should take your time to
look at it it's on my X feed I posted it
today so strong so congratulations to
Blake abian and what whatever Western
lensman did I'm not sure who did what I
think Blake might have produced it
actually I'm not sure but the but they
work together on it in some
way um but it's amazing
it's probably the most persuasive thing
I've seen in of a campaign
ad New York Times has a guest opinion
today and the title of the guest opinion
is government surveillance keeps us
safe
so
so is that scary to see that the paper
of record is running a an opinion piece
that says government surveillance of all
the citizens can keep you
safe you know everybody always says oh
this is so
1984 this is the most 1984 thing I've
ever
seen it would be hard to top this one
that's a Topper but the thing is I
actually agree with
it it does keep you safe it just takes
your freedom
away that's always the trade-off you
know the government can do lots of
things to keep you safe lock you into
your house but you in the long run maybe
you're not too happy about
it um I think this government
surveillance probably goes a long way to
explaining why we haven't had worst
Terror attacks since
911 I feel like the fact that we have no
privacy is the only reason there haven't
been major Terror attacks I I think that
a lot of stuff must be getting
thwarted uh in its infancy because they
have complete ability to monitor just
literally everything so that that's the
most positive thing you put on it but no
I'm not in favor of the government
surveilling every single thing we do but
I think it's a fact and it's not going
to
change here about this uh there's a
business called
sheets I don't know what they do
shz and they're being sued by the
government Biden Administration for
discriminating uh for discriminating
against
minorities and specifically the form of
discrimination is they require
applicants to pass a criminal record U
background check so sheets doesn't want
to hirer people have criminal records
but since there are more people with
criminal records in the underserved
communities uh that would be um now
illegal according to the Biden
Administration so the Biden
Administration wants to force this
company to hire um convicted
felons so
uh but you know what's
ridiculous you know what's
ridiculous I mean really do you really
think there are 25 different ways that
the Biden Administration is trying to
literally destroy the
country maybe
26 maybe 26 because this clearly is bad
for the
country it couldn't be any worse for the
country and here it is and they're going
to spend a lot of resources on this of
all the things that the that the Biden
Administration could do to root out
unfairness and
discrimination they had to find this
one now doesn't that mean that
everything
else that's more important than this has
been
solved do they have so much
resource so many resources that they
could solve all the big dis
discrimination problems they're they're
all well handled but now they're working
down the list and priorities and we're
all the way down to the company that
doesn't want to hire criminals they
should hire more criminals or they'll go
to jail or something fine
probably so I now if you add this to the
fact that uh the white supremacist that
they were looking for in the military
didn't
exist I think things are really going
well
if you've got Dei hires in all the major
cities and uh the worst remaining
discrimination you could find is that
they're H they don't want to hire
criminals
amazing well let's talk about Ukraine I
saw a post by uh Joey
manino and he says this in his post he
said he had dinner with a friend from
Ukraine and he said and he learned
something the media is not reporting if
you're a male citizen of Ukraine who
lives outside the country and your
passport expires you no longer can renew
it at an
embassy so if you're an Ukrainian man at
another country mostly maybe to get away
from Ukraine uh if your passport expires
they won't renew
it you have to come back to Ukraine and
die in the meat
grinder
wow um so if you don't have a passport
you can't stay in the country you're in
but you also can't go back to the
country some country should say you
could come
here because I'm pretty sure that the
ukrainians the Ukrainian men who were
living you know escaped Ukraine to get
away from the draft they're probably
educated and
employable they'd probably be a pretty
good group you know because they're
they're not filtered for being criminals
or anything they're filtered for being
smart enough not to be part of a war and
they had enough resources that they
could get out of the country that
probably suggests it would be a great
group of people to have in your
country so you know maybe somebody will
open their doors and and make that more
legal um
but some other things we're learning um
this from uh Brian Dean Wright I believe
he's used to be in the intelligence
services but now is not
and um he's talking about how the war is
lost basically the Ukraine war he says
there are two problems one is massive
corruption that we know about so it's
going to be hard to keep shoveling the
money when we know zinsky is stealing it
and his lieutenants are and apparently
that's documented now so we don't wonder
if zinski is stealing the money yeah he
is and I guess everybody knows
it um but the other thing is that there
are no human beings left in Ukraine to
fight that the uh the the urban men
disappeared cuz they could and the rural
men are all dead so they just ran out of
people so according to uh Brian Dean
right uh the weapons aren't going to
help as much as you want because they
don't have anybody to fire them
now that wouldn't be so
bad I mean it's terrible but it wouldn't
be so bad if they look like they could
win right you'd say to yourself well
that's the most horrible thing they lost
all their men for a generation but if
they won you know you can imagine that
eventually they' spin it into a great
sacrifice in the
victory but they're not
winning and indeed the whole goal that
uh the Biden Administration has set down
loud that it's just a cheap way to
degrade the Russian
military which I don't think most people
care about but maybe some do uh but
how's that working out the uh Politico
reports that the Russian Army is larger
by 15% than it was when it invaded
Ukraine and their their industrial
production is
growing their military is getting
stronger and apparently there's no risk
to the
economy so basically we made Russia
stronger although I don't know that you
can really tell
that I'm not sure we know exactly what's
happening in Russia you know that's
probably propaganda too so I don't know
how much Russia is winning but it
doesn't look like they're
losing um you know you can't believe
anything from a war zone or from Russia
or Ukraine but anyway David saaks is is
on this case uh making it clear and I
think he's correct he's making it clear
that there is no win to be had
and and that we lost the only thing we
said we were trying to do which is
degrade Russia
Etc and I think I am a uh uh I have been
one over to the side that the whole
point of making Ukraine NATO is so NATO
so Ukraine would have to buy weapons
from uh American
manufacturers and that Americans would
pay the uh with our taxes to give to
Ukraine so they could buy our weapons so
basically it's just our own
military-industrial complex looting our
pockets and uh they're energy people
trying to take Russia's energy and that
sort of thing so I I see America as more
of a criminal
Enterprise than a military keeping the
world safer
democracy that's my take Ukraine looks
entirely like a criminal Enterprise
backed by an
army uh because these stated claims are
somewhat ludicrous whereas the more
obvious explanation of what's going on
you know CIA wants to protect their labs
and you know we want to have closer
assets to threaten Russia and we maybe
we did want to degrade their military a
little or you know uh get Putin out of
office all that stuff but it mostly it
looks like it's just a moneygrab
corrupt uh criminal Enterprise and we're
just need deep in it so I I'm rejecting
any notion that America is the good guy
in this situation I think we're I think
we're the criminals in this situation
that would be my take now now what is
the solution for all of it well Trump
has to avoid the obvious plot to
assassinate him I I think we could say
that out loud right I mean if they're
trying to remove his secret servy
protection while painting him as a a
risk to democracy and a Hitler character
that's a murder attempt now the fact
that they figured out a legal way to
murder somebody or attempt to murder uh
that doesn't change the fact that what
it is it it might IL legal but still
murder so I would say our system is
mostly blackmail bribery corruption and
murder and that the uh thin veneer of a
republic and a democracy and all that
stuff is you know largely silly and
absurd and clearly hasn't been with us
for
decades we're complicit unless we
overthrow the
corruption well unless it's working
see that's the
problem uh it always comes down to what
are the
Alternatives and I've said it before but
I'm going to double down on it if it's
true that we're not you know a
Democratic Republic that doesn't mean
we're worse off it just means we're not
what we thought we were it definitely
means some people are being screwed
definitely means that definitely means
the elites are getting richer but here's
the problem that's every system
if you show me a system where the elites
don't not only stay Elite but they don't
you know gain compared to the population
and Rob them I've never seen that system
what system is
that so if every system robs the public
for the benefit of the elite and if it
doesn't it doesn't have the resources to
field an army and protect itself it
won't last so my take is the big Bigg
ger and batter we are as a criminal
Enterprise the longer we're going to
last why do you think Russia is still in
business and going to survive this war
is it because they're a Democratic
Republic no it's because they're a
massive criminal Enterprise with the
military just like
us look at
China do you think the elites are doing
better than the
people I think so I think so yeah think
they're doing great and does that mean
that in in a way conceptually they're
robbing the people to keep themselves in
power and yeah of course that's what it
means that's exactly what it means so
every system that is
successful successful to the point where
you know we think they should be in NATO
let's say let's say that's the minimum
level of a successful country is that we
want them in
NATO you don't get there without your
elites
being totally in charge and being able
to control the government and the
military so I think that all of the
countries that are successful are
criminal
Enterprises because in the long run
that's the model that
works and like the
Mafia the mafia might not want a lot of
crime on its own
street because it doesn't want to
interfere with the bigger crimes it's
doing so it could be that our criminal
government would do quite a good job of
you know reducing crime if the right
members of it were in
charge NATO is a Cel yeah in in a
sense yeah I mean that doesn't that word
fit perfectly because cels don't have to
be illegal do they well I don't know
maybe they do I'm not sure if that's
baked into the definition of a cartel
doesn't a cartel just mean a bunch of
people with power who are operating
together
some
way all right we're going to do a
closing
sip because I think you need
it here's to
you now do you think Trump could fix all
of these problems I just
mentioned how many of this criminal
Enterprise stuff could Trump
fix almost
none I I yeah if he could fix any of
this stuff he would have done some of it
in the first term so it looks like
whatever it is is stronger than all the
presidents you know I don't think
there's any president that can fix it
um so here's what might happen I think
the people you know the the elites as as
we say the people in charge I think if
Trump gets elected by a big enough
margin they can't cheat him out of
office and they can't put him in jail
because there too many people who would
go
Nots I think they'll just try to wait
him out you know they'll do everything
they can to destroy him while he's in
office but ultimately they don't want to
reveal too much about themselves if they
can just wait four years and go back to
it running everything so I feel like
they'll just waigh him
out so there's one possibility that it
won't be riots in the streets they must
just say they might just say let's let's
just keep this on a slow
boil get through the four years get back
in power start another war that sort of
thing probably the the biggest problem
would be if Trump doesn't fund Another
War I think if the first thing Trump did
is fund a new war he'd be fine he would
be perfectly safe because everybody
would be like ah yeah keep that war war
guy in
there um war is when your government
tells you who the enemy is revolution
has when the government's the enemy
yeah all right that's all I got for you
today on the platforms
of um Rumble and YouTube and X I'm going
