k. I just have to tell you this one story. This is my one other post office story. In the early post office days when I was a very young kid, the post offices—at least where I lived—they were actually required to have a loaded firearm behind the desk. So the post offices were required. It wasn't op…

ns will determine a lot to them. Do we care about how they think? Yes we do, because it matters to us.

All right, now you're all fixed, aren't you? Now you're happy. Turns out there was a button that needed to be pushed. You're all good now, right? Thank you, Paul. You saved me again. Good save.

I believe I was telling you that this is Coffee with Scott Adams, and all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tankard, a chalice, a canteen, a 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 of the dopamine hit at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

Go.

Well, it looks like through my bad engineering I may have gotten rid of all the viewers who are not serious viewers of the show. The rest of you stayed here and said, "He's going to fix this," because you trusted me, and your trust has been paid off.

Did you know that China has got a $31 billion push for making nuclear power in that country? They've approved 11 reactors recently and 20 in the past two years. And that's not why I bring it up. Now, you know if you're following the news that whatever country falls behind in energy production is going to lose the future, because AI will be driving everything. And if you don't have way more power than we have in this country right now, you're not going to compete with China on AI. So whoever has the most electricity basically is going to win on AI, because they could just do more of it and faster.

So nuclear power has gone from something that would be really important for your economy and maybe good for the world's pollution and CO2 if you care about that. But I would argue that nuclear power is now more important than nuclear weapons. Are you with me on that? That nuclear power plants creating electricity is a more important weapon of war, because it's going to be driving AI, and AI will drive everything. So nuclear weapons of course would still be powerful, but probably the wars of the future are going to depend on electricity. And we don't have a way to dominate in electricity, and China is just kicking our asses on nuclear.

So unless we get somebody who can really push things in the United States, we're all in a lot of trouble. This would be right near the top of my number one existential risk problems. It's not number one, but it's right up there. And I would recommend that you follow the account on X called Zion Lights, which is actually the name of a person. Zion is the first name, just like it sounds: Z-I-O-N, and then Lights, last name. So if you follow that account, which is smish, but the most accurate and unbiased following of what's happening in nuclear energy. So highly recommended. Get on that account if you're not already there.

By the way, one of the things that I see as my Spider-Man responsibility—you know the Spider-Man curse, with great power comes great responsibility. Now I don't have great power, but I have over a million followers, and I feel like one of the most useful things I can do with my 1.1 million followers is tell you who else you should follow to make you smarter. That's really one of the best things I could ever do for the world: just make you smarter by telling you who to follow. So Zion Lights—add that one to your list.

Apparently Boeing's labor union, the biggest labor union, is going on strike because Boeing didn't need any more problems. But here it is. Or they did, I guess. I should have said that the other way. But you know what would really help their profits and their ability to pay their employees more? Would be building really good planes. So the machinists are on strike. I feel like Boeing is really getting every bad news it could possibly get.

How much of this do you think is DEI related? And the trouble is we don't know. You still saying you're muted or are you trolling me now, Paul? Are you still there? I'm getting trolled on the audio. Bunch of people saying I'm muted. Is that because they're—okay, yeah, everything's working. Trolls. Thank you, Paul.

So I wonder if DEI is actually a factor. There's no way to know. But the theory is that DEI should destroy every company and then every country it comes in contact with, because by design it destroys organizations. It is the one thing that guarantees that you focus on hiring less qualified people to meet a different goal. Now if you say, "Scott, you racist, why are you saying that some other group is less qualified?" I'm not saying that. I'm saying that if you focus on something other than merit, you're going to get something other than merit every time. It's just the way everything works. And there's a small pool of people available for certain types of jobs, and if you try too hard to fix things with that small pool of availability, it should destroy every company in America that focuses on it.

So although there's no direct evidence that that's what's happening at Boeing, given that they have a bunch of government contracts, I would pretty much feel confident in saying it's probably their biggest problem. I'm sure they have other big problems, but it's probably the biggest one. And it's not recoverable. It's not recoverable. They're not going to fire the people they already hired. So whatever their situation is now, that's what they're going to have to work with. So I don't know how they work around it. Create a skunk works? I don't know. I have no idea how anybody survives DEI. It should, by its design on paper, destroy every organization that touches it eventually. And certainly lots of evidence of that.

Well, you'd be delighted to know there's a research consortium—or consortium, or consortium, I don't know, but it's one of those things—but yeah, a bunch of geoengineering types want to dump a bunch of iron in the ocean to make the ocean capable of absorbing, I guess. Basically they'd be fertilizing the ocean with some kind of iron stuff, and it will make the phytoplankton bloom, and it'll suck the carbon dioxide right out of the air.

All right, let me ask you this. What are you more afraid of: a nuclear power plant or trying to change the chemistry of the ocean? This is the scariest thing I've ever seen. It's scary that they want to change the atmosphere, you know, have the planes release some kind of chemicals that will alter the atmosphere to solve climate change. But I'm not so sure I want to bloom a lot of phytoplankton, because I don't know exactly if we know what happens if you do that. So I'd be a little careful about this one. I suppose there's probably a way to test it small. But yeah, I don't know. And is it recoverable? If you stopped doing it, do things go back to where they were pretty quickly? I just don't know if this is a good idea, but I've got questions.

Well, this is exciting. According to the New York Post, there's this device that's been created by researchers at University College in London, and it's a little device that you stick your finger in. And somehow, believe it or not, it's a breakthrough medical device to stimulate what they call the natural, quote, "real feel" sensation of human touch. So if you're isolated and you don't have a lot of human touch, you can stick your finger into a device and it will give you the sensation that there's a human being touching your finger.

So I plan to get one of those to stick my finger into it. No, my finger. I'm just going to put my finger in it. Well, what were you thinking, you perverts? My God, you're disgusting. I'm going to put my finger in it. What are you even thinking? Oh my God, I'm disgusted by all of you. That never even occurred to me. Not once did I think if you can stick your finger in it and it feels like a real person that there might be some other application for it. I never thought of that. You're disgusting. I love every one of you.

All right, here's a story that makes you shake your head and say, should we just give up and leave the country? Maybe we should just give up on America if you're an American. Just give up. All right, here's a story that just makes me want to go, all right, we're not even trying anymore.

The National Association of Letter Carriers—in other words, Post Office Union—announced their endorsement of Kamala Harris and Governor Walz. The letter carriers, the people who will be holding in their hands the ballots. They know exactly what the voters in their area are likely to favor by a majority. They know if they're working a red neighborhood or a blue neighborhood. And they've just endorsed one side. And you have to trust the people who endorsed Harris to deliver your ballot without throwing it away, which is what they want to do. They want to throw it away because they don't want the other team to win.

Now I'm not going to cast any aspersions on any postal workers. My father worked for the Post Office for his entire career and retired. And if there's one thing I know from all of the many, many stories my father told us over the dinner table, you can trust the Post Office. No, you can trust the Post Office as much as you can trust any other part of the government, which is not at all. Not at all.

When I used to mail my art—so when I was a new cartoonist, we didn't do everything digital back then. I would actually create art on paper, and then I'd make copies of it because I knew I was going to mail off the originals. So I'd mail the original to my syndication company, and then they would do what they needed to do to put it in newspapers. I heard that Gary Larson, famous cartoonist of the time, had to stop using the post office because as soon as they figured out who he was, they stole all of his packages because they could sell his original art.

So I heard that, and I said to myself, well, but they don't know who I am because I was new. So I was mailing my art every day, and then I got a little more famous, and then they started recognizing me in the post office. And that was the last time any of my art ever reached its destination. They just started stealing it after that. So no, the post office cannot be trusted.

Years ago I also wrote a story about a single woman who didn't have any money but was giving money to homeless people when she saw them because they were doing even worse than she was. And she could not even afford basically anything. I wrote a story, and I said, you know what, here's a post office box if you want to send her some money and solve her problem, because she's literally so kind—this is a real story—she was so kind and religious really that if she could eat a sandwich that day and she saw somebody who might not, she would give him half her sandwich. Like literally she would reach in her lunch and give half of it to a street person.

And people were moved by the story, and they sent her envelopes full of cash. I mean not full of, but you know, a $20 bill here and there. And she got, if you could imagine, probably thousands—my best guess, thousands of dollars—were sent to her by just people who wanted to help her out. How many of those thousands of dollars do you think she actually received? Because it went through the post office. As soon as they noticed that one of her letters had cash in it—because I don't know, maybe you could hold it up and see it or something—they stole everything else that ever went to her. They got 100% of all of her letters and kept them.

The post office. Now you feel good about the post office? The post office is going to determine the election because the mail-ins will probably be the consequential thing. And they get to decide if they deliver it or not. If they throw it away instead of delivering it, you'll never know. And if you did know, it would be after the new president is already in office, and nothing would change after that.

How in the world is this legal? How in the world is this legal? Now Joel Pollak asked this question before I did on X, so I'm stealing his stuff. But I mean, I look at this and I think, well, I guess there's no law against it because of free speech. But if you design a system—let's say you drew it down on paper and you said, all right, we're going to have this election system. We're going to have the determined vote are going to come in the mail, and then we're going to make sure the people who deliver the mail are very biased in who wins, and they won't be watched every moment because mail carriers don't have body cams. So they could just leave the whole crate of ballots in their car, drive it home at night and throw it away, or throw it away in a dumpster on the way. Now, would you have ever approved that system if you were designing the system? Would you have approved that? No, you would not. On paper you would have rejected that immediately. You would have said no, whatever we do, we can't do that.

It's the least trustworthy group probably of any entity. I mean, I don't know what experience you've had with post offices, but it's hard to imagine a more corrupt organization, more corrupt at the individual level than the top. I don't have any accusations against senior management. I only know that the individuals that they hire are pretty damn sketchy on a regular basis. And I say that, you know, my father worked there for over 30 years, I think.

I just have to tell you this one story. This is my one other post office story. In the early post office days when I was a very young kid, the post offices—at least where I lived—they were actually required to have a loaded firearm behind the desk. So the post offices were required. It wasn't optional. They had to have a loaded gun available in case some trouble went down. Now of course times have modernized, so I'm pretty sure they got rid of that. But this is a true story. There were days when for whatever reason there was nobody to look after me when I was a young kid, and so my father would just take me to work, and I'd be just sort of running around behind the counter in the post office. And there was this loaded gun on a shelf that I could reach as a toddler. Do you think I played with it when nobody was watching? Yeah, of course I did. I'm like a toddler with a loaded gun in the post office. Now if you have any other questions, that's a true story. If you have any other questions about the workings of the post office, I hope I've answered them all.

All right, so our election is being rigged in plain sight. I think that that's a fact based on reported news. To me this is rigging. And I gave you six other examples. They're pretty obvious rigging. So you don't have to cheat on the individual votes to see how much rigging is going on. But that would be cheating on individual votes, I guess.

Kamala Harris has been saying that Goldman Sachs approved of her economic plan over Trump's. Goldman Sachs says, well, that might be technically true, but when we compared them there was like 0.2% of a difference between the plans. Yes, hers was 2.2% better. Now let me ask you this. Do you believe that Goldman Sachs can look at some political plans and calculate accurately? Do you think that they can calculate accurately to within 0.2% of what it's going to do to the economy? You idiots. No. Goldman Sachs, you are idiots if you think that any of your employees, your smartest ones, with all their computers and maybe they use some AI, and they calculated what the economy would be up to 0.2% in the future. Nobody can predict the future with a complicated model. All right?

If you believe the climate change models are real, you're an idiot, because they couldn't be real. Humans can't do anything like that. Not only can we not measure the planet to any accurate and reliable degree, which we know, but nobody can put together the variables to calculate the future of the temperature. And Goldman Sachs, you're doing the same thing. And the public just doesn't know. Oh, smart people. It must be something smart people are doing. Well, I couldn't possibly understand it because of all the smart people doing the models. Oh, I guess somebody calculated exactly what the economy will be in 10 years. No. None of this is possible. It's not even close to possible. It's not even in the general realm, zip code, planetary system of being possible.

So if you're talking about whether they did it or didn't do it, you're in the wrong conversation. It's not possible. That's what you need to know. Not whether they forgot a variable. It's just not possible. And the fact that we've ever been convinced that the smart people can figure that out is one of the greatest cons of all time. And let me tell you, the next time somebody who's really smart tells you that they've predicted the future in a complicated environment with many variables, it's also not possible. I don't even need to know what the next thing is. Whatever the next thing is, if it's a complicated model that's predicting in the future, it's not real. That's what you need to know.

All right. Marianne Williamson interestingly says that the Democrats are making a mistake by continuing to dump on Trump about the eating cats issue, because she says, quote, "Haitian voodoo is in fact real," quote, "and to dismiss the story out of hand rather than listen to the citizens of Springfield, Ohio, confirms in the minds of many the voter stereotype of Democrats as smug elite jerks who think they're too smart to listen to anyone outside their own silo." Silo. Who uses that word a lot? Marianne, if you're listening, that was pretty awesome.

So I don't know if there's much reality to the eating of animals. I do think that it's, you know, if there's a Haitian voodoo component of the population and that they've done that before and it can be confirmed that it's something that happens in Haiti, it would be a miracle if it didn't happen here. Right? If somehow it happened in a—let's say not even widespread, let's say if 10% of Haitians had ever done it, there's certainly enough Haitians in America where it would happen. So if you want to answer the question is it happening in America, I would ask one question: Did it happen in Haiti? And is it like a regular thing that even maybe 5% or even 2%? If it happens in Haiti, it's happening here. Can we agree that asking the Springfield, Ohio residents is a waste of time? Because we're not going to believe them anyway. Many times they won't know. It's just their cat is missing and they'll be like, well, my cat's missing. I think they got them. You're probably never going to settle it just by asking the Springfield people.

Now there might be a huge smoking gun. You know, maybe somebody got some video. Maybe there's a Haitian who's confessing. So that would be useful. But if you want to know without any doubt whatsoever, just confirm whether or not it happens in Haiti. Because everything that happens there is going to come here. Why wouldn't it? There's no reason it wouldn't. If there's a religious—you know, I don't know what voodoo is. Is it religious or just a belief? But if it's a strong belief and it's strong enough that they were going to kill an animal there, nothing would stop them from killing an animal in the United States. Nothing. So just find out if it's true. As Marianne Williamson says, the Haitian voodoo is real and that it involves on any regular basis or even irregular the sacrifice of animals. We can get a 100% accurate answer. Just look at Haiti. Am I wrong? Am I wrong to say that we're looking in the wrong place? We might find it in Springfield, and then that would be good information. But if you want to know for sure, for sure, just look at Haiti. See if they're doing it. And I don't know that, by the way. I don't know the answer if Haiti is doing that in any way that would possibly translate to the United States.

All right. New York Post is talking about how there are more single liberal women than ever. Now I assume that the relative birth rates are not the story, but rather that more women are remaining single, and of them more of them are turning Democrat. So that's why the Democrats have this huge lead. But I would like to—I can't remember if I've given you this hypothesis before, but true or false. By the way, ChatGPT says this is true as to searches on the internet. But do you believe that science has demonstrated to your satisfaction—I think there have been multiple studies of the same thing—that if you're on hormonal birth control, you would have a different preference for a male mate than if you were off it? You're all aware of that, right?

So I believe the way it works—I don't think I have it backwards—I think the way it works is if you're on the pill, you're looking for more of a dad type who would be the dad type in the race. Tim Walz has that dad kind of vibe, right? So in theory, and I'm just talking in the most general way here, if you were on hormonal birth control, you would think that you'd rather marry Tim Walz. Again, I'm not saying he's your type. I'm just speaking conceptually. You would rather look for a Tim Walz type who's got a dad bod and a dad vibe than you would a Donald Trump type who is sort of a Chad, alpha bastard personality. But if you are off of hormonal birth control, you would actually prefer the Chad bad alpha bad guy who you hate but you still want to hump his leg. But Tim Walz, you might think he's a great guy but boring, and you don't need him to protect your children or anything. He's just, yeah, he's there for the money maybe.

So if you believe—and I would say this is not 100% confirmed, but the science very strongly seems to suggest multiple studies show the same thing—that women's preferences for a mate, what could be more important than that? Your preferences for a mate, the most important lifetime decision, is completely reversed by hormonal birth control. And then we observe that these single women, the people most likely to be on hormonal birth control, have an almost, in my opinion, a mental illness that seems to be based on their dislike of Trump and their weird like of the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign.

Now what about older Republican women? If you're over 45 and you're Republican, what do you think of Donald Trump? Well, you're probably not on hormonal birth control, and you probably like him. Now are we going to keep treating that like it's a coincidence that the people who are almost certainly likely to be on hormonal birth control—and we know that hormonal birth control completely changes your preferences for a mate—you don't think that changes your preference for a candidate?

If you're thinking of doing a major scientific research study to find out if hormonal birth control changes your political preferences, can I interrupt you for a moment and save you some time? I can save you a lot of time and a lot of money. You know what I'm going to say next, right? Just ask Scott. Of course it does. Of course, of course it does. There's no way in hell that it could change your mating preferences without changing your election leader preference. There's no way in hell that they could be unrelated. No way. But if you want to do the research study and waste your time and waste your money, go ahead.

And by the way, we know that if you pump somebody with testosterone, it's going to change all the preferences too, right? So it's not just women. Men who are doing testosterone upgrades probably are changing their preferences. Probably. Has anybody noticed that? Let's see if we can think of an example. Do you remember what Mark Zuckerberg was like when he first founded Facebook? You probably would have said he's a nerdish kind of a guy. He was always in good shape, I'll give him that. But have you seen him shirtless lately after a bout with some MMA fighters? He's freaking ripped. Do you think he's taking any kind of testosterone boost? I don't know. But the activities he's involved in are absolutely testosterone boosters. He's doing more dangerous stuff, definitely dangerous. He's doing physical stuff. He's clearly lifting and working on his fitness. And then magically, unexpectedly, surprisingly, he comes out a strong appreciator of Trump saying "fight, fight, fight" and how awesome that was. Are these all coincidences? It can't be a coincidence if you can predict it.

Let's take Reid Hoffman, put him on a diet, give him some testosterone, make him lift until he looks like Mark Zuckerberg with that shirt off, and then you check. You tell me if his political preferences changed. Now he might have other reasons for his political preferences. We don't know. But just using that as an example, I don't think it's a coincidence that the Democrat men have a certain look and the Republican men have a different look. I think a lot of this testosterone—and I don't know if anybody studied this, but I'll bet you if you just took a random 100 Democrat men and a random 100 Republican men, I don't think their T levels would be even close. And don't waste your money on it. Just ask me. I just told you it's obvious.

Well, Politico reports that January 6 has now been deemed a national security event by Department of Homeland Security, and that means that they can put way more resources into protecting it. So here's the good news. It authorizes the Secret Service to have a greater role in taking care of things. You know, it'd be the other law enforcement as well, of course. Lots of law enforcement. But Secret Service would have a bigger role. Well, you can trust those guys, can't you?

Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat, he told us that the report on the Trump assassination attempt—which by the way also involved the Secret Service—that the report coming out will absolutely shock the American people. He says, quote, this is Blumenthal, "I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished, and appalled by what we'll report to them about the failures of the Secret Service." The assassination attempt. They ought to be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security. Well, so those are the same people who are going to make sure that our Capitol is secure this time.

Now I'm no person who's developed a multivariable model for the future, but I think it's deeply unlikely that Republicans are going to storm the Capitol again. Does anybody think that a Republican is going to storm the Capitol again? Because there was never any chance it would work, and a lot of them went to jail. Now if it worked even in any way you could determine that something worked, if you could make any argument at all that at least in some small way it worked, well yeah, it might happen again. But I don't believe there's a single person in the world who says, you know, if we had just sauntered a little bit longer, I think we could have fixed the country. Nobody thinks that. Nobody thinks that they under-sauntered. If we'd moved that lectern a little bit further, we could have changed everything. No. No, I wouldn't worry about the Capitol getting attacked anyway.

But at least our elections are secure. Let's see. The Concord Monitor is reporting that apparently there's a way of auditing their machines so that you can feel confidence in it. So here's their auditing technique they're using in New Hampshire. And I'd like to ask you after I've explained it, do you feel good now? Because I'm doing this to make you feel like our elections are secure.

All right, so they have an audit process after the election to make sure that the machines didn't do anything sketchy. Now you're happy about that, right? Because we all want to make sure, you know, obviously they test them before, but they also test them after to make sure that there's no mistakes. That's pretty good, right?

Here's how they test it. They randomly select eight machines. Randomly. Who do you think does the random selecting? Do you think they put all the machines into a random number generator, or is there somebody whose job it is to determine which eight of them are the randomly selected ones? What do you think? Do you think the scrappy little state of New Hampshire put together an AI model and some—maybe had some kind of nuclear decay thing like Schrodinger's cat to make sure that they had randomly picked the machines? Or was it just some guy whose job it was to pick the ones that were easy to drive to? What do you think? I'll tell you what I think, but I probably don't have to tell you what I think.

Now suppose the randomness was actually appropriate. Suppose that wasn't a problem. And suppose they had actually randomly correctly randomized. Do you think checking eight machines is going to tell you anything? How in the world is checking eight machines going to tell you anything? My assumption about cheating is that if it involved machines—and I have no confirmed evidence of any kind of cheating of that kind, but hypothetically if it involved machines—do you think they were going to spread it across all the machines? Do you think they were going to just put a bug in every machine in New Hampshire so if you check eight of them you're going to catch it? That's not the way I would do it.

Do you know what machines I would corrupt in New Hampshire if I were trying to influence an election? None. None. Because New Hampshire is not in play. It's not even a freaking up-for-grabs kind of a state. Nobody would cheat in New Hampshire. So no, we don't care if you check your eight random, not random machines. You're not even trying. That's like not even trying to audit. Now again, New Hampshire probably doesn't have a problem, but you read a story like this and it makes you think, whoa, probably those other states are doing some post-election audits too. Well, if they are, it's probably just as total.

Meanwhile, Newsmax has to go to trial because they said some things that Smartmatic, the company that makes some machines, didn't like. The big problem here, it looks like allegedly, is that Newsmax may have suggested in their reporting through who they talked to more than what they said themselves that some Smartmatic machines were involved in states where there were some irregularities reportedly. But apparently Smartmatic doesn't even have any machines in those places. So Newsmax has to kind of explain why they think the Smartmatic machines were rigged in a place where there are no Smartmatic machines. So that would be Smartmatic's take.

Now I don't know if there's a—I think the defense is that Newsmax was reporting other people's opinions. So I think the defense says, well, but they didn't get the case killed on that, so we don't know if that's going to hold any weight. But it does seem to me that every conservative news site is being bludgeoned to the point where questioning any election in the future would be corporate suicide. So do you think Newsmax and Fox News are going to aggressively question any election results? I don't think so, because they might have gigantic amounts of money on the line because they'll get sued, especially if they mention machines.

Let's see. There's a report from the Gateway Pundit. Now if any of this is true, it's really bad. But I remind you that stories of election irregularities, 95% of them won't pan out. So most of them are fake. Are there 5% real ones? Well, I don't know that. I wouldn't know unless I saw one and it got confirmed, which I haven't seen at least one that's big enough that would have changed everything. So whenever I tell you a story—this is me trying not to get sued—so whenever I tell you a story about a claim of election irregularity, it's someone else's claim and I'm reporting it. So I'm going to try the same defenses Newsmax in case they come after me. Because I do not know of any confirmed cheating that would have changed the election. That's true. I don't know of any.

Anyway, so according to the Gateway Pundit, there are a lot of ballots that come in from overseas. And of course that's legal because if you're an American and you're just happen to be stationed overseas for a number of reasons, you're allowed to vote by mail. So here's the claim. According to a poll watcher, they received lots of ballots from overseas, and they know what a ballot looks like. It's a certain size. It's 11 by 19. And he says when he opened up the box of ballots from overseas and he expected to see all these 11 and a half by 19 ballots because that's the only ones there are, it was a whole bunch of ballots that were 8 and a half by 11 on copy paper and faxes from unknown sources. And the number of them was enough to change the Maricopa result. Just hold that in your head for a moment.

Now I don't know if this is true. Remember, this is somebody else's allegation. I haven't done any independent reporting on it. And the Gateway Pundit's talking about it. But this seems like sort of an easy claim to check, doesn't it? Or at the very least, Laura Trump and her watchers should be watching this. And the question they should be watching is, wait a minute, why do these ballots look like photocopies and faxes? They don't even look like real ballots. And do you think that the watchers could get them maybe challenged or thrown out if they catch it and challenge it at the point of noticing it? Maybe. Maybe.

I still think the third act perfect ending to the Trump movie—not an ending because I'd like to see him in office for a few years—but would be that they cheat right in front of the witnesses hoping to get away with it but they don't. And that the witnesses say this entire election has to be thrown out.

People keep asking me, do I have a vision of who wins? Because in the past I have, right or wrong. Like I have this imagination of somebody winning, and I don't. I just see blackness. But not blackness like it's the end of the world or the end of the country. What I see is no decision. What I see is that between the election and the end of the year we won't know who's going to be president. And I don't know why, but probably something to do with legitimate complaints about the process. Maybe somebody catches something, but it takes the courts a while to sort it out. We might have a president in January if let's say our court system can decode things enough and they try really hard and people cooperate and it's possible. But I feel like there might be months without a president. We might even have to run the election again. We might have to. Congress might have to change all the laws so that the citizens believe that the election is true next time. So and that's impossible. So I don't even see a path. I don't see any path that we're going to choose a president.

The system is designed to deny us an outcome. Again, if you showed it to me on paper, said all right, here's our situation. We got all these states doing things differently. We got all these people watching. The watchers may see some real things, but even if they see some fake things like they mistake something that's real as a fake, they're going to report it. So you're going to have like 40,000 credible sounding, signed under oath reports of cheating. What are you going to do with that? 40,000 credible sounding, signed under threat of going to jail, saying yeah I saw this and in my opinion this was cheating. What are you going to do? How in the world do you certify it if you've got 40,000 legitimate signed under oath eyewitnesses? Multiple people saw it. It's on camera.

Now remember my assumption is that you'll have 40,000 reports of cheating even if there are none, because confirmation bias is just so heavy in this situation. If you put me there as a watcher, I'm sure my brain would tell me I saw some cheating because I kind of want to be the guy who catches it. You know, like it would be my perfect fantasy that I'm the one who caught the election cheating. It's got to be the same for the other watchers. They don't put all that time in there without thinking, you know, I'd be kind of a star if I found that cheating and changed everything. So that is a setup for confirmation bias of the highest kind. Like guaranteed. There's nowhere around it. And on paper that's the system we have now.

Now I think we need the watchers. That's exactly the right thing to do. But it guarantees we don't have an election result that we can trust. What are we going to do? I don't know. I don't think it's going to turn into any kind of a civil war. It'll just be a messy, messy process, and somehow we'll work our way through it because we work our way through everything. But wow, is it going to be messy.

All right. Here's my best idea of the day. Let's see if everybody stayed for this. Yeah, looks like we got a lot of people watching right now. Here's my strongest strategy. I was challenged the other day—I won't tell you by who—to figure out how to get out of the sort of doldrums of things looking bad and into more of a fighting optimism. Let's call it that. It's not just optimism, but it's optimism driving fight. And I woke up this morning thinking, you know, I got a lot of sleep last night, and I have the optimism that we have not yet begun to fight. That's different than the optimism you're definitely going to win. I think you should have some uncertainty about that because it'll drive your fight a little harder.

But here's my best take on how to win, and it's a reframe. By the way, I have a book called Reframe Your Brain, but this one's not in the book, so it's going to take a little while for me to develop it. So bear with me. I think you're going to like the payoff. So I posted this on X if you want to see it yourself. I said this. I said the Harris campaign's Trump hoax overload strategy has been hugely successful. So they throw so many hoaxes at Trump, including the debate, that it makes him either always on the defensive, which makes people think some of these must be true. It also takes him off of his positive messaging and off of his attacking her for her bad whatever. So as a strategy it's brilliant persuasion-wise. It's unethical as hell, but is it effective? Yeah, it really is. And it's working totally. So it's taking all the energy out of Trump's supporters and it's taking all the energy out of Trump, and they've completely owned the conversation when they do the hoax overload. Because it used to be they'd toss in a hoax here and there, but Harris just one after another. And they were the kind of hoaxes that are so obviously debunked and so universally debunked that you can't believe they do it unless, as others have pointed out, unless they knew they wouldn't get fact-checked by the mainstream media. And sure enough they didn't get fact-checked.

Now that we know that's the case, what you can't depend on is the media helping you out debunking any hoaxes. And there's no reason for them to stop with the hoax overload strategy because it's not just hoaxes. The overload is the key. It's not just hoaxes. Just hoaxes is not good enough. It has to be the overload. It's taking all your energy away. Diversion. So that's totally working.

So what would you do about that? Apparently they know Trump has no effective defense against it. Because your most obvious defense is to say it's not true, and then people want to think it's true. Say, oh you're a liar, because they've already framed him as a liar. Once you've framed Trump as a liar, his denial of a hoax doesn't have any weight to the people who have been convinced that he lies about everything.

But what could you do? How could you reframe this so it's not just a bunch of hoaxes and somebody trying to say they're not true? Because that ain't working. So here's my idea. And also I should note that Trump's most capable supporters, the ones who really are good at persuasion and stuff like that, don't have any hope of changing this because we're all siloed, as Marianne Williamson points out. The press, including X by the way—I have almost no exposure to anybody who's a Democrat because X's algorithm gives you more of what you want. If you're a Democrat, you want Democrat stuff, so you'll never see my stuff. And that's the free speech platform. The free speech platform is useless as long as the algorithm gives you more of what you want. It's useless. It doesn't have any free speech power at all. So I'm not sure if Elon Musk has completely grasped that he doesn't have a free speech platform. He has a silo where people can talk to themselves. And I hate to say it because I'm a giant fan of Elon Musk and what he's done with X, but as long as the algorithm gives you more of what you want—which by the way doesn't sound crazy, sounds pretty sane, give people more of what they want—but as long as that's the case, there's no free speech going on. It's people just talking to themselves. The ability to talk to people who already agree with you is not any kind of free speech I'd recognize. It's talking to the people in the other silo and getting them all worked up and vice versa. Now that's some free speech, but we don't have it. Don't have it anywhere.

The debates were stupid and fake and controlled. That was nothing like any information at all for voters. So given all that, the helpers can't help. Vance can go in public and do something freaking awesome every day, and he almost does. If you're following Vance, his public appearances are almost jaw-droppingly smart, and you think, wow, that could move the needle. No Democrat will see it. They just don't see it. It makes no difference. And I would argue that there are a number of people in that category. They just can't break through the silo.

So what do you do? Well, only Trump can break the silo, meaning that if he says something interesting, Democrats have to hear it. But he's the only one. He's also the only one who seems incapable of doing the thing I'm going to suggest. So something would have to change.

Here's what I'm going to suggest. And it's based on a trick I learned years ago in my media training. That there is a weakness that the media has which I exploit every chance I get, which is why you're listening to me by the way. If I had not been exploiting this flaw in the media for 30 years, you wouldn't even know who I was. It's the primary trick I use. It goes like this. Nobody in the press cares that you did something better than somebody else. You know, unless it's the Olympics, some special case. But they don't care you're really good at something and somebody's a little bit not as good. That's not a story, and they won't care about it and they won't write about it.

But here's what they will write about. If you're a public figure and you're doing something in a whole new way, they'll write about that. Do you know why? Because when they write about a whole new way, it's fascinating. It interests the writers, but more importantly it interests the readers. So readers like, whoa, you're doing this a whole new way. So a story about Trump not spending as much on elections but using this social network strength that he had, that was a story. Everybody told it, right? Both sides told that story. It's a process story. If somebody uses a new process and is so good it wins them the election of the United States president, you cannot not tell that story. Every journalist wants to tell that story. And they will if you do a new way of doing something. That's guaranteed to cut across both silos.

So what he needs to do with the hoaxes is stop saying this is a hoax because that gets him nothing. Instead he needs to do the following. Number one, build a hoax debunk website. I know they exist. I know the fans have built them. He needs his own. He needs a Trump campaign hoax debunking site. But here's the key part, and if you leave this out it's nothing. So I don't think I can emphasize this enough because I don't want you to hear, well if he had a website debunking the hoaxes he's in good shape. No, it would be useless. That would be useless. It has to describe how they made the hoaxes. That's the magic sauce. The magic sauce is showing the technique.

So let me give you an example. Let's say the fine people hoax comes up. If Trump says that's a hoax, everybody goes, it's been debunked. Yeah, nothing. But if he says, you know what you really need to know, you voters, about how the system works is that it's almost entirely hoax-based at this point. And I'd love to teach you how the hoaxes are created so that you can spot them on your own. For example, the fine people hoax is created just by a simple edit. If you don't believe that—and I wouldn't believe it if I'd been watching the mainstream news either—you can go to our hoax debunking website. Here's the URL. And you can see for yourself the method they used. The method. That's the secret sauce.

If you want a journalist to cover it on both sides, you talk about the method. The method, not the reality. The method. The method was to take off the end of it, and then the media that's fake would keep repeating it as a real thing. And then you say here's another one: the Covington kids, the overfeeding the koi. I would argue that you find the drinking bleach one, but I know that's more complicated. It was about light. They cut out the light part, etc. It's a little harder sell. But for each of the hoaxes you could say, okay, this one was done by mind reading. They pretend they know what I'm thinking, and they've pretended that when I said I would be a dictator for a day—which was clearly just a hyperbole to make a case about closing the border—they read my mind and acted like that was a real thing. So you do the mind reading ones, the fake edit ones. And instead of organizing the hoax list by hoaxes—wait for it, wait for it—you organize the hoax list by method. Here are the ones that are fake edits. Here are the ones that are mind reading. Here are the ones that are quotes taken out of context or whatever the categories are.

If you turn it into a how-to-do-it and how-they-did-it, both sides are going to report it. And if you can get a Democrat to look at even one of them—and somebody said to me that debunking the fine people hoax wouldn't change any votes. What most of the Democrats who have changed sides have said is that figuring out that the fine people hoax was fake was a deciding factor. You've heard it, right? I mean this is anecdotal, but have you all heard public figures say once I found out about the fine people hoax I was done with Democrats? You've heard that, haven't you? Some high-profile people have said that recently. So no, that one is the Rosetta Stone. The fine people hoax more than all the other hoaxes is the one that's so simple to explain because they just clipped off the part where he clarified. If you can get people to realize that they've been that duped by their own people, they will be pissed. And that causes action. Anger causes action. And they will. And the people who have switched sides, they say I was angry when I found out what they did to me, and I'd been out there repeating this hoax forever.

Next, all the supporters of Trump need to refer to the same page. Now there are some hoax debunk sites, but they're not organized the way I just described, and therefore they have no value. Right? And let me say it again. A list of hoaxes has no value. It has to be a page that tells you how they did it. How they did it is inescapable. Everybody wants to know how.

So let me give you the talk that would do it. The wrong answer is, well the fine people hoax has been debunked. It's been widely debunked. That's wrong. Doesn't work. Here's the right one. If you want to lose all remaining faith in the media, now you have my attention, right? If the first thing I say is if you want to lose all remaining faith in the media, that's so interesting that you're going to listen to whatever comes next. That's a writing trick. Make your first sentence too interesting to skip. The second sentence. So you say if you want to lose all remaining faith in the media, go to the hoax site. Give the URL to see how that hoax was created with a fake edit. You can see the unedited video to see for yourself. And when you're there, look at how the other hoaxes were created too. It's appalling that we have to live like this. We need honest media to have a great country.

That would have ended the debate, by the way. If Trump had done that when the fine people hoax came up, he would have been the winner of the debate, and you wouldn't have remembered anything else.

And then further I would say that we need a QR code that goes to the debunk page, and it could be included very easily on any other messaging that has an image. You know, so just in the corner of anything else you say, just put the QR code and you know, hoax debunk site, something like that. And then supporters could take the QR code. We just take a picture of it ourselves. And every time somebody in the comments or on X or anywhere on social media says blah blah blah hoax, you just say, check this out. You either put the URL for a click or put the QR code.

And then I would also preemptively predict how the Democrats are going to respond with more hoaxes and fake fact-checking. So you might say, you know, if you go check this, the press is going to respond with just more new hoaxes. But now you know how they're made. When you see the new one, check this page and you'll see which category it fits in. It's either a mind reading or fake edit or something out of context. And you just teach people to be experts at spotting it.

And what's that called? Does anybody understand the technique I'm teaching you? It has another name. You've heard it before. Oh come on, you know this one. Tell me what technique I'm using. The persuasion technique. It's one Trump uses all the time. He just hasn't used it in this context. All right, I think the comments are a little delayed. I think you know this one. It's called thinking past the sale. The sale is that these are hoaxes. Thinking past is let me show you how they were done. If you can make them think about how they were done, they have uncritically accepted that these must be hoaxes if they're worrying about how they were done. And that is a very strong persuasion trick. It's one that Trump uses all the time in other contexts, so he knows how to use it. It's one of his best.

Meanwhile, World War III is kicking off. Save that for last. So apparently the news is saying that Blinken, Secretary of State Blinken, may have given Ukraine the green light to send some American-made missiles deep into Russia. As Putin has pointed out, there is no way that Ukraine could send these missiles deep into Russia unless they used NATO satellites, which would make it a NATO operation. And unless the NATO operators are the ones who actually sort of set up the missiles and probably push the button, because it isn't so easy just to hand these missiles to somebody and say hey, point them at Russia. Doesn't work like that. Apparently there's quite a bit that goes into making sure your missile goes to the right place, and it's unlikely that anybody except NATO people would be firing them. So says Putin. I'm not sure that's true, but that's what Putin says. And that would make it, as Putin is trying to warn us, that would make it a NATO attack on Moscow, which would be a red line, which would allow him to use nuclear weapons.

And you know, I'd still bet against him using nuclear weapons because he would die, right? If Putin uses nuclear weapons, Putin's going to be dead. There's no question about that. But so would a few billion other people. So I think it's the last thing he wants to do because he is rational. But man, here's what I would expect as a response. I think if an American missile hits Moscow—and they already have—but if it becomes more of a major attack on Moscow, I think he's just going to bulldoze Kiev. So obviously he's made major attacks on the capital before, but I don't think he's really concentrated on it. I mean he could send his entire army, his entire air force, just to turn it into rubble. And he might. And he wouldn't be wrong to do it in the context of war. Nothing's good in war. But in the context of war, if they do a strong attack on Moscow and he has the stronger military, if he wants to he can just destroy the capital of Ukraine and with no remorse. So I think that's more likely. So I think Kiev has to worry about what they're getting.

I suppose I did hear an opinion the other day that maybe Ukraine and maybe Israel would like to start more of a war, perhaps with Iran or Hezbollah, which is also Iran in a sense. But that it might be the very best time to start a war is right away because the United States is so distracted and disjointed at the moment that if you don't want a strong response from America, this would be the time to do it. Now I don't know. I do not embrace that to be true.

So I'd like to give a message to both Israel and Ukraine, because I know you're watching. If you take advantage of the United States when we're temporarily weakened, you better finish us off. Because if you take advantage just because we don't have our act together for a few months, whoever gets in power is going to make that right. And we're not going to be happy about it. So my warning to anybody who wants to take advantage of a little bit of unrest in the United States is we're not going to be unscathed, right? And we're not going to be happy about it. So I wouldn't mess with us when we've got some problems. That's going to come back 10 times stronger than you think. And I think that's just human nature. I'm not really saying anything that's some kind of brilliant strategy or geopolitical opinion. I'm just saying human nature. If you hit us when we're confused and down, we're going to be way madder when we get right. And we're going to get right pretty quickly, especially if you hit us. So if you want the United States to organize and be united for once, just hit us when we've got some trouble like during the election season. Yeah, you're going to pay for that. That's going to be the most expensive thing you've ever done. So just want you to know that.

Meanwhile, Russia has their own thermite-spewing dragon drones. So you saw that Ukraine has these thermite—it's basically fire-breathing drones. Now when you imagine how bad that would be, you think to yourself, well it's a little drone. How far can it throw fire anyway? I mean it seems like it'd have to get pretty close and it can't be that powerful. Oh yeah it can. Because it turns out that the way they're doing it is they're having the fire just use gravity. So in other words they just fly over something and there's something about this thermite that makes it basically almost like a solid. So the fire falls like a solid and it's some bad stuff. So really bad stuff.

So I'm seeing a comment: You suffer from the same idiot mindset most Western people do. You look at other people as if they like you. They are not. Russia is not susceptible to your big mouth. Never was, never will be. Well, you sound like an idiot. All right. See, you are somebody who doesn't understand how anything in the world works. You don't think that Russia and China are watching public opinion in the United States? You don't know how risk management works either. If I increase the risk profile of any action, it changes behavior. Maybe not in the end, but it changes the likelihood of behavior. So does Russia care about what Americans think? Yes they do, you idiot. Does Israel care about what Americans think? Yes they do, you idiot. They do, because our actions will determine a lot to them. Do we care about how they think? Yes we do, because it matters to us. To imagine that other countries don't give a what the United States thinks about vaporizing them with nuclear weapons is the dumbest thing I've seen all day. So great comment there. You're doing great.

Anyway, I feel a little spicy today because I may have gotten enough sleep for the first time. So ladies and gentlemen, this concludes my prepared remarks, and I'm going to go talk to the locals people—except that one—privately. And I'll see you tomorrow and maybe in the man cave tonight if you're part of Locals. So it takes a while for us to be active. It's going to be about 30 seconds before I'm talking to Locals privately.

e e now you're all fixed aren't you now you're happy turns out there was a button that need to be pushed you're all good now right thank you Paul you saved me again good save um I believe I was telling you that this is coffee with Scott Adams and all you need is a cup or mug or glass a tanker chalse a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go well it looks like through my bad engineering uh I may have gotten rid of all the viewers who are not serious viewers of the show the rest of you stayed here and said he's going to fix this because you trusted me and your trust has been paid off well did you know that China is uh got a $31 billion push for making nuclear power in that country they've uh approved 11 reactors recently and 20 in the past two years and that's not why I bring it up now you know if you're following the news that whatever country falls behind in energy production is going to lose the future because AI will be driving everything and if you don't have way more power than we have in this country right now you're not going to compete with China on AI so whoever has the most electricity basically is going to win on AI because they could just do more of it and faster so so nuclear power has gone from something that would be really important for your economy and maybe good for the the world's uh pollution and CO2 if you care about that but I would argue that nuclear power is now more important than nuclear weapons you are you with me on that that nuclear power plants creating electricity is a more important weapon of War because it's going to be driving Ai and AI will drive everything so nuclear weapons of course would still be powerful but probably the wars of the future are going to depend on electricity and we don't have a way to dominate in electricity and China is just kicking our asses on Nuclear So unless we get somebody who can really push things in the United States we're all in lot of trouble this would be right near the top of my number one existential risk problems it's not number one but it's right up there and I would recommend that you follow the account on X called Zan lights which is actually the name of a person Zion is the first name just like it sounds z o n and then lights last name so if you follow that account which is smish but the most uh I would say the most accurate and unbiased following of what's happening in nuclear energy so highly recommended get on that account if you're not already there um by the way I one of the things that I see as my Spider-Man responsibility you know the Spider-Man uh curse with great power comes great responsibility now I don't have great power but I have over a million followers on and I feel like one of the most useful things I can do with my 1.1 million followers is tell you who else you should follow to make you smarter that that's really one of the best things I could ever do for the world just make you smarter by telling you to follow so Zion lights add that one to your list apparently uh Boeing uh labor union the biggest labor union is going on strike because Boeing didn't need any more problems but here it is or they they they did I guess I should have said that the other way but um you know what would really help their uh profits and their ability to pay their employees more would be building really good planes so the machinists are on strike I feel like Boeing is really getting every bad news it could possibly get how much of this this do you you think is Dei related and the trouble is we don't know you still saying you're muted or are you trolling me now Paul are you still there I'm getting trolled on the audio bunch of people saying I'm muted is that because they're okay yeah everything's working trolls um thank you Paul so I wonder if de is actually a factor there's no way to know but the theory is that um de should destroy every country or every company and then every country it comes in contact with because by design it destroys organizations it is the one it is the one thing that guarantees that you focus on hiring less qualified people to meet a different goal now if you say Scott you racist why are you saying that some other group is less qualified I'm not saying that I'm saying that if you focus on something other than Merit you're going to get something other than Merit every time it's just the way everything works and there's you know a small pool of people available for a certain time types of jobs and if you try too hard to fix things with that small pool of availability it should destroy every country in America the focuses on it so although there's no direct evidence that that's what's happening at Boeing given that they have a bunch of government contracts I would pretty much feel confident in saying it's probably their biggest problem I'm sure they have other big problems but it's probably the biggest one and it's not recoverable it's not recoverable they're not going to fire the people they already hired so whatever their situation is now it's that's what they're going to have to work with so I don't know how they work around it create a skunk works I don't know I have no idea how anybody survives Dei it should by its design on paper it should destroy every organization that touches eventually and uh certainly lots of evidence of that well you'd be delighted to know there's a research Consortium Consortium or Consortium which is is a Consortium or Consortium I don't know but it's one of those things but uh yeah a bunch of uh geoengineering types want to uh dump a bunch of iron in the ocean to make the ocean capable of absorbing I guess I guess it basically they'd be fertilizing the ocean with um some kind of iron stuff and it will make the phytoplankton Bloom and it'll suck the carbon dioxide right out of the air all right let me ask you this what are you more afraid of a nuclear power plant or trying to change the chemistry of the ocean this is the scariest thing I've ever seen it it's scary that they want to change the atmosphere you know have the Planes release some kind of chemicals that will alter the atmosphere does solve climate change but I'm not so sure I want to bloom a lot of phyto Plankton because I don't know exactly if we know what happens if you do that so um I'd be a little careful about this one I suppose there's probably a way to test it small but yeah that I don't know and is it is it recover able if you stopped doing it do things go back to where they were pretty quickly I just don't know if this is a good idea but I've got questions well this is exciting according to the New York Post there's this device that's been uh created by researchers at University College in London and it's a little device that you stick your finger in and somehow believe it or not it's a they call a Breakthrough Medical device to stimulate what they call the natural quote real feel sensation of human touch so if you're isolated and you don't have a lot of human touch you can stick your finger into a device and it will give you the Sensation that there's a human being touching your finger so I plan to get one of those to uh stick my finger into it no my finger I'm just going to put my finger in it well what were you thinking you perverts my God you're disgusting I'm going to put my finger in it what are you even thinking oh my God I'm disgusted by all of you that never even occurred to me not once that I think if you can stick your finger in it and it feels like a real person that there might be some other application for it I never thought of that you're disgusting I love every one of you all right uh here's a story that makes you shake your head and say should we just give up and leave the country maybe we should just give up on America if you're an American just give up all right here's a story that just makes me want to go all right it we're not even trying anymore the National Association of letter carriers in other words Post Office Union uh announced their endorsement of K Harris and governor and Governor Waltz uh the letter carriers the people who will be holding in their hands the ballots they know exactly what the voters in their area are likely to favor by a majority they know if they're living if they're working a red neighborhood or a blue neighborhood and they've just endorsed one side and you have to trust the people who endorsed Harris to deliver your ballot without throwing it away which is what you know they want to do they want to throw it away because they don't want the other team to win now I'm not going to cast any aspersion on on any postal workers my father worked for the Post Office for his entire career and retired and if there's one thing I know from all of the many many stories my father told us over the dinner table you can trust the Post Office no you can trust the Post Office as much as you can trust any other part of the government which is not at all not at all well when uh I used to uh mail my art so when I was a new cartoonist the we didn't do everything digital back then I would actually create art on paper and then I'd make copies of it because I knew I was going to you know mail off The Originals so I'd mail the original to my syndication company and then they would you know do what they needed to do to put it in newspapers I heard that Gary Larson famous cartoonist of the time had to stop using the post office because as soon as they figured out who he was they stole all of his packages CU they could to sell his original art so I heard that and I said to myself well but they don't know who I am because I was new so I was mailing my art every day and then I got a little more famous and then they started recognized me in the post office and that was the last time any of my art ever reached its destination they just started stealing it after that so no the post office cannot be trusted years ago I also uh wrote a story about a single woman who didn't have any money but was giving money to uh homeless people when she saw them because they were doing even worse than she was and she could not even afford basically anything I wrote a story and I said you know what here's a post office box if you want to send her some money and solve her problem because she's literally so kind this is a real story she was so kind and religious really that if she could eat a sandwich that day and she saw somebody who might not she would give him half her sandwich like literally she would reach in her lunch and give half of it to A A Street person and people were moved by the story and they sent her envelopes full of cash I mean not full of but you know $20 bill here and there and she she got uh if you could imagine probably thousands my best guess thousands of dollars were sent to her by just people who wanted to help her out how many of those thousands of dollars do you think she actually received because it went through the post office as soon as they noticed that one of her letters had cash in it because I don't know maybe you could hold it up and see it or something they stole everything else that ever went to her they got 100% of all of her letters and kept them the post office now you feel good about the post office the post office is going to determine the election because they're going to the the mail ends will probably be the confirmative you know consequential thing and they get to decide if they deliver it or not if they throw it away instead of delivering it you'll never know and if you did know it would be after the new president is already in office and nothing would change after that how in the world is this legal how in the world is this legal now Joel Pollock asked this question before I did on X so I'm stealing his stuff but I mean I look at this and I think well I guess there's no law against it because of free of speech but if you design a system let's say you you drew it down on paper and you said all right we're going to going to have this election system we're going to have a the determined vote are going to come into the mail and then we're going to make sure the people who deliver the mail are very biased in who wins and they won't be watched every moment because mail carriers don't have body cams so they could just leave the whole crate of ballots in their car drive it home at night and throw it away or throw it away in a dumpster on the way now would you have ever approved that system if you were designing the system would you have approved that no would not on paper you would have rejected that immediately you would have said no whatever we do we can't do that it's the least the least trustworthy group probably of any entity I mean I don't know what experience you've had with post offices but it's hard to imagine a more corrupt organization more corrupt in the individual level than the top you know I I don't have any accusations against Senior Management I only know that that the individuals that they hire are pretty damn sketchy and on the regular basis and I say that you know my father worked there for over 30 years I think um I just have to tell you this one story this is my one other post office story in the early post office days when I was a very young kid uh the post offices at least were where I lived they were actually required to have a loaded firearm behind the desk so the post offices were required it wasn't optional they had to have a loaded gun available in case some trouble went down now of course times of modernized so I'm pretty sure they got rid of that but this is a true story there were days when for whatever reason there was nobody to look after me when I was a young kid and so my father would just take me to work and I'd be just sort of running around behind the counter in the post office and there a this this loaded gun on on a shelf that I could reach as a toddler do you think I played with it when nobody was watching yeah of course I did I'm like a toddler with a loaded gun in the post office now if you have any other questions that's a true story if you have any other questions about the the workings of the post office I hope I've answered them all all right so our election is being rigged in plain sight I think that that's a fact based on reported news to me this is rigging and I gave you you know six other examples they pretty obvious rigging uh so you you don't have to cheat on the individual votes to see how much rigging is going on but that would be cheating on individual votes I guess uh K Harris has been saying that Goldman Sachs approved of her economic plan over Trump's uh Goldman Sachs says well that might be technically true but when we compared them there was like 0 2% of a difference between the plans yes hers was 2.2% better now let me ask you this do you believe that Goldman Sachs can look at some political plans and calculate accurately do you think that they can calculate accurately to within 0.2% of what it's going to do to the economy you idiots no Goldman sacks you are idiots if you think that any of your employees you're smartest ones with all their computers and maybe they use some Ai and they calculated what the economy would be up to 0 2% in the future nobody can predict the future with a complicated model all right if you believe the climate change models are real you're a idiot because they couldn't be real humans can't do anything like that not only can we not measure the planet to any accurate and reliable degree which we know but nobody can put together the variables to to calculate the future of the temperature and Goldman Sachs you're doing the same thing and the public just doesn't know oh smart people it must be something smart people are doing well I couldn't possibly understand it because of all the smart people doing the the models oh I guess somebody calculated exactly what the economy will be in 10 years no none of this is possible it's not even close to possible it's not even in the general realm zip code planetary system of being possible so if you're talking about whether they did it or didn't do it you're in the wrong conversation it's not possible that's what you need to know not whether they forgot a variable it it's just not possible and the fact that we've ever been convinced that the smart people can figure that out is one of the greatest cons of all time and and and let me tell you the next time somebody who's really smart tells you that they've predicted the future in a complicated environment with many variables it's also not possible I don't even know what I don't need to know what the next thing is whatever the next thing is if it's a complicated model that's predicting in the future it's not real that's what you need to know all right um Marian Williamson interestingly says that uh the Democrats are making a mistake by continuing to dump on Trump about the eating cats issue because she says quote Haitian Voodoo is in fact real quote and to dismiss the story out of hand rather than listen to the citizens of Springfield Ohio confirms in the minds of many the voter stereotype of Democrats as smug Elite jerks who think they're too smart to listen to anyone outside their own Silo Silo who uses that word a lot Maryanne if you're listening that was pretty awesome so um I don't know if the 's U much reality to the eating of animals I do think that it's you know if there's a Haitian Voodoo component of the population and that they've done that before and it can be confirmed that it's something that happens in Haiti it would be a miracle if it didn't happen here right it if somehow it happened in a let's say not even widespread let's say if 10% of Haitians had ever done it there's certainly enough Haitians in America where it would happen so if you want to answer the question is it happening in America I would ask one question did it happen in Haiti and is it like a regular thing that even maybe 5% or even 2% if it happens in Haiti it's happening here can we agree that asking the Springfield Ohio resident is a waste of time because we're not going to believe them anyway many times they won't know it's just their cat is missing and they'll be like well my cat's missing I think they got them you you're probably never going to settle it just by asking the Springfield people now there might be a huge Smoking Gun you know maybe somebody got some video maybe there's a a Haitian who's confessing so that would be useful but if you want to know without any doubt whatsoever just confirm whether or not it happens in Haiti because everything that happens there is going to come here why wouldn't it there's no reason it wouldn't if there's a religious you know I don't know what Voodoo is is it religious or just a a belief uh but if it's a strong belief and it's strong enough that they were going to kill an animal there nothing would stop them from killing an animal in in the United States nothing so just find out if it's true as Maran Williams says the Haitian Voodoo is real and that it involves on any regular basis or even irregular the sacrifice of animals we we can get a 100% accurate answer just look at Haiti Am I Wrong Am I Wrong to say that we're looking in the wrong place we might find it in Springfield and then that would be good information but if you want to know for sure for sure just look at Haiti see if they're doing it and I don't know that by the way I don't know the answer if Haiti is doing that in any way that would possibly translate to the United States all right New York Post is talking about uh how there are more single liberal women than ever now I assume that the relative birth rates you know are not the story but rather that more women are remaining single and of them more of them are turning Democrat so that's why the Democrats have this huge lead but I would like to I can't remember if I've given you this hypothesis before but true or false by the way uh chat GPT says this is true as to searches on the internet but do you believe that uh science has demonstrated to your satisfaction I think there have been multiple studies of the same thing that if you're on hormonal birth control you would have a different preference for a male mate than if you were off it you're all aware of that right so I believe the way it works I don't think I have it backwards I think the way it works is if you're on the pill you're looking for more of a a dad type who who would be the the dad type in the race Tim Walls timal has that Dad kind of vibe right so in theory and I'm just talking in the most General way here if you were on hormonal birth control you would think that you'd rather marry Tim wals again I'm not saying he's your type I'm just speaking conceptually you would rather look for a Tim Walls type who's got a dad b and a dad Vibe then you would a Donald Trump type who is sort of a Chad CAD uh Alpha bastard personality but if you are off of hormonal birth control you would actually prefer the Chad bad Alpha bad guy who you hate but you still want to hump his leg but Tim W you might think he's a great guy but boring and you don't need him to protect your children or anything he's just yeah he's there for the money maybe so if you believe and I I would say this is not 100% confirmed but the science very strongly seems to suggest multiple studies show the same thing that uh women's preferences for a mate what could be more important than that your preferences for a mate the most important lifetime decision is completely reversed by hormone or birth control and then we observe that these single women the people most likely to be on hormonal birth control have an almost in my opinion a mental illness that seems to be based on their uh dislike of trump and their weird like of the Comm Harris Tim Walls campaign now what about older uh Republic Republican women if you're over 45 and you're Republican what do you think of Donald Trump well you're probably not on hormonal birth control and you probably like him now are we going to keep treating that like it's a coincidence that the people who are almost certainly likely to be on hormonal birth control and we know that hormonal birth control completely changes your preferences for a mate you don't think that changes your preference for for a candidate if you're thinking of doing a major scientific research study to find out if hormonal birth control changes your political preferences can I can I interrupt you for a moment save you some time I can save you a lot of time and a lot of money you know what I'm going to say next right just ask Scot of course it does of course of course it does there's no way in hell that it could change your mating preferences without changing your election leader preference there's no way in hell that they could be unrelated no way but if you want to do the research study and waste your time and waste your money go ahead um and by the way we know that if you pump somebody with testosterone it's going to change all the preferences too right so it's not just women men who are doing testosterone upgrades probably are changing their preferences probably has anybody noticed that uh let's let's see if we can think of an example do you remember what uh Mark Zuckerberg was like when he first founded Facebook you probably would have said he's a nerdish kind of a guy he was always in good shape I'll give him that but have you seen him shirtless lately uh after a bout with some MMA fighters he's freaking ripped do you think he's taking any kind of testosterone boost I don't know but the activities is involved in are absolutely testosterone boosters he's doing more dangerous stuff definitely dangerous um he's doing physical stuff he's clearly lifting and you know working on his Fitness and then magically unexpectedly surprisingly he comes out a strong um appreciator of Trump's saying fight fight fight and and how and how awesome that was are these all coincidences it can't be a coincidence if you can predict it let's uh let's take Reed Hoffman put him on a diet give him some testosterone make him lift until he looks like Mark Zuckerberg with that his shirt and then you check you you tell me if his political preferences changed now he might have other reasons for his political preferences we don't know but just using that as an example I don't think it's a coincidence that the that the Democrat men have a certain look and the Republican men have a different look I think a lot of this testosterone and I don't know if anybody studied this but I'll bet you if you just took a random 100 Democrat men and a random 100 Democrat Republicans I don't think their tea levels would be even close and don't waste your money on it just ask me I just told you it's obvious well Politico reports the January 6 has now been uh deemed a national security event by Department of Homeland security and that means that they can put way more resources into protecting it so here's the good news uh it authorizes um the Secret Service to have a great role in taking care of things you know it' be the other law enforcement as well of course uh lots of law enforcement but uh Secret Service would have a bigger role well you can trust those guys can't you um let's see Senator Richard Blumenthal Democrat uh he told us that the report on the Trump assassination attempt which by the way also involved the Secret Service um that the report coming out will absolutely shock the American people he says quote this is Blumenthal I think the American people are going to be shocked astonished and appalled by what will report to them about the failures of the secret services the assassination them uh they ought to be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security well so those are the same people who are going to make sure that our capital is secure this time now I'm no uh person who's developed a multivariable model for the future but I think it's deeply unlikely that Republicans are going to storm the capital again does anybody think that a republican is going to storm the capital again because there was never any chance it would work and a lot of them went to jail now if it worked even in any any way you could determine that something worked if you could make any argument at all that at least in some small way it worked well yeah it might happen again but I don't believe there's a single person in the world who says you know if we had just sauntered a little bit longer I think we could have fixed the country nobody thinks that nobody thinks that they under sauntered if if we' moved that Lecter a little bit further we could have changed everything no no I wouldn't worry about the capital getting attacked anyway um but at least our elections are secure let's see the conquered monitor is reporting that um apparently there's a way of auditing their machines so that you can feel confidence in it so here's their auditing technique they're using in New Hampshire and I I'd like to ask you after I've explained it do you feel good now because I'm doing this to make you feel like our elections are secure all right so they have an audit process after the election to make sure that the machines didn't do anything sketchy now you're happy about that right because we all want to make sure you know obviously they test them before but they also test them after to make sure that there there's no mistakes that's pretty good right here's how they test it they uh randomly select eight machines randomly H randomly who who do you think does the random selecting do you think they put all the machines into a random number generator or is there somebody whose job it is to determine which eight of them are the randomly selected ones what do you think do you think they the scrappy little State of New Hampshire put together an AI model and some maybe maybe had some kind of nuclear Decay thing like Schrodinger's cat to make sure that they had randomly picked the machines or was it just some guy whose job at was to pick the ones that were easy to drive to what do you think I'll tell you what I think but I probably don't have to tell you what I think now suppose the randomness was actually appropriate suppose that wasn't a problem and suppose they had actually randomly correctly randomized do you think checking eight machines is going to tell you anything how in the world is checking eight machines going to tell you anything my assumption about cheating is that if it involved machines and I have no confirmed evidence of any kind of cheating of that kind but hypothetically if it involved machines do you think they were going to spread it down across all the machines the you think they were going to just put a bug in every machine in New Hampshire so if you check eight of them you're going to catch it that's not the way I would do it do you know what machines I would uh corrupt in New Hampshire if I were trying to influence an election none none because New Hampshire is not in play it's not even a freaking you know up for grabs kind of a estate nobody would cheat in New Hampshire so no we don't give a if you check your eight random not random machines you're not even trying that's like not even trying to audit now again New Hampshire probably doesn't have a problem but you read a story like this and it makes you think whoa probably those other states are doing some postelection audits too well if they are it's probably just as as this total meanwhile Newsmax has to go to trial because they said some things that a uh smartmatic the company that makes some machines didn't like uh the big problem here it looks like allegedly is that Newsmax may have suggested in their reporting through who they talked to more than what they said themselves that some smartmatic machines were involved in states where there were some irregularities reportedly but apparently smartmatic doesn't even have any machines in those places so news Newsmax has to kind of explain why they think the smartmatic machines were rigged in a place where there are no smart Matic machines so that would be smartmatic take now I don't know if there's a I think the defense is that Newsmax was reporting other people's opinions so I think the defense says well but they they didn't get the case killed on that so we don't know if that's going to hold any weight but it does seem to me that every conservative news site is being bludgeoned to the point where questioning any election in the future would be corporate suicide so do you think Newsmax and Fox News are going to aggressively question any election results I don't think so because they might have gigantic amounts of money on the line because they'll get sued especially if they mention machines um let's see there's a report from the Gateway pundit now if any of this is true it's really bad but I remind you that stories of uh election irregularities 95% of them won't pan out so most of them are fake are there 5% real ones well I don't know that I wouldn't know unless I saw one and it got confirmed which I haven't seen at least one that's big enough that would have changed everything so whenever I tell you a story this is this is me trying not to get sued so whenever I tell you a story about a claim of election irregularity it's someone else's claim and I'm reporting it so I'm going to try the same defenses Newsmax in case they come after me um because I do not know of any confirmed cheating that would have changed the election that's true I don't know of any anyway so according to the Gateway pundit um uh there are a lot of uh ballots that come in from overseas and of course that's legal because if you're an American and you're you're just happen to be stationed overseas for a number of reasons you're allowed to vote by mail so here's the claim um according to a Paul Harris um there's this they uh received lots of ballots from overseas and uh they know what a ballot looks like it's a certain size it's 11 12 by1 19 and he says when he opened up the box of ballots from overseas and he expected to see all these 11 and a half by1 19 ballots because that's the only ones there are it was a whole bunch of ballots that were 8 and a half by 11 on copy paper and faxes from unknown sources and the number of them was enough to change the Maricopa result just hold that in your head for a moment now I don't know if this is true remember um this is somebody else's allegation I haven't done any independent reporting on it and the Gateway pundits talking about it but this seems like sort of an easy claim to check doesn't it or at the very least uh Laura Trump and her her Watchers should be watching this and the question they should be watching is wait a minute why are these ballots look like photocopies and faxes they don't even look like like real ballots and do you think that the Watchers could get them maybe challenged or thrown out if they if they catch it and challenge it at the point of noticing it maybe maybe I still think the the third Act perfect ending to the the Trump movie uh not an ending because you know I'd like to see him in office for a few years but uh would be that they cheat right in front of the witnesses hoping to get away with it but they don't and that the witnesses say this entire election has to be thrown out people keep asking me do I do I have a vision of who wins because in the past I have right or wrong like I I have this imagination of somebody winning and I don't I I just see Blackness but not Blackness like it's the end of the world or the end of the country what I see is no decision what I see is that between the election and the end of the year we won't know who's going to be president and I don't know why but probably something to do with legitimate complaints about the process maybe somebody catches something but it takes the courts a while to sort it out we might have a president in January if let's say our court system can decode things enough and you know they try really hard and people cooperate and it's possible but I feel like there might be months without a president if we we might even have to run the election again we might have to Congress might have to change all the laws so that the the the citizens believe that the election is true next time so and that's impossible so I don't even see a path I don't see any path that we're going to choose a president the system is designed to deny us an outcome again if you showed it to me on paper said all right here's our situation we got all these states doing things differently we got all these people watching the Watchers may see some real things but even if they see some fake things like they m AK something that's real as a fake they're going to report it so you're going to have like 40,000 credible sounding signed under oath reports of cheating what are you going to do with that 40,000 credible sounding signed it under you know threat of going to jail saying yeah I saw this and in my opinion this was cheating what are you going to do how in the world do you certify it if you got 40,000 legitimate signed under oath eyewitness multiple people saw it it's on camera now remember my my assumption is that you'll have 40,000 reports of cheating even if there are none because confirmation bias is just so heavy in this situation if you put me there in the as a watcher I'm sure sure my brain would tell me I saw some cheating because I kind of want to be the guy who catches it you know like I it would be my perfect fantasy that I'm the one who caught the election cheating it's got to be the same for the other Watchers they don't put all that time in there without thinking you know I'd be kind of a star if I found that cheating and changed everything so that is a setup for confirmation bias of the highest kind like guaranteed you there's nowhere around it and on paper that's the system we have now now I think we need the Watchers that's exactly the right thing to do but it guarantees we don't have an election result that we can trust what are we going to do I don't know I don't think it's going to turn into any out of a civil war it'll just be a messy messy process and somehow we'll work our way through it because we work our way through everything but wow is it going to be messy all right um here's my best idea of the day let's see if everybody stayed for this yeah looks like we got a lot of people watching right now here's my strongest strategy I was challenged the other day I won't tell you by who to figure out uh how to get out of the sort of dull Drums of things looking bad and into more of a a fighting optimism let's call it that it's not just optimism but it's optimism driving fight and I woke up this morning thinking you know I got a lot of sleep last night and I have the optimism that we have not yet begun to fight that's different than the optimism you're definitely going to win I think you should have some uncertainty about that because it'll drive your fight a little harder but here's my best take on how to win and it's a reframe by the way I have a book called reframe your brain but this one's not in the book so it's going to take a little while for me to develop it so bear it with me I think you're going to like the payoff so I I posted this on X if you want to see it yourself I said this I said the Harris campaign's Trump hoax overload strategy has been hugely successful so they they throw so many hoaxes at Trump including the debate that it makes them either always on the defensive which makes people think some of these must be true it also takes him off of his positive messaging and off of his attacking her for her bad whatever so as a strategy it's brilliant persuasion wise it's unethical as hell but is it effective yeah it really is and is working totally so it's taking all the energy out of Trump's support ERS and it's taking all the energy and a trump and they've completely owned the they basically own the conversation when they do the hoax overload because it used to be they'd toss in the hoax here and here and there but Harris just just one after another and they were the kind of hoaxes that are so obviously debunked and so universally debunked that you can't believe they do it unless as others have pointed out unless they knew they wouldn't get fact checked by the mainstream media and sure enough they didn't get fact checked now now that we know that's the case what you can't depend on is the media helping you out debunking any hoaxes and there's no reason for them to stop with the hoax overload strategy because it's not it's the overload that's the key it's not just hoaxes right just hoaxes is not good enough it has to be the overload it's taking all your energy away diversion so that's totally working so what would you do about that apparently they know Trump has no effective defense against it because your most obvious defense is to say it's not true and then people want to think it's true say oh you're a liar because they've already framed him as a liar once you framed Trump as a liar his denial of a hoax doesn't have any weight nothing to the people who have been convinced that he lies about everything but what could you do how could you reframe this so it's not just a bunch of hoaxes and somebody trying to say they're not true because that ain't working so here's my idea um and and also I should note that Trump's most capable supporters the ones who really are good at persuasion and stuff like that don't have any hope of changing this because we're all siloed as Maran Williamson points out the the Press including X by the way I have almost no exposure to anybody who's a Democrat because X's algorithm gives you more of what you want if you're a Democrat you want Democrat stuff so you'll never see my stuff and that's the Free Speech platform the Free Speech platform is useless as long as the algorithm gives you more of what you want it's useless it it doesn't have any free speech power at all so I'm not sure if uh Elon Musk has completely grasped that he doesn't have a free speech platform he has a silo where people can talk to themselves and I hate to say it because you know I'm a giant fan of Elon Musk and what he's done with X but as long as the algorithm gives you more of what you want which by the way doesn't sound crazy sounds sounds pretty sane give people more of what they want but as long as that's the case there's no free speech going on is people just talking to themselves the the ability to talk to people who already agree with you is not any kind of free speech I'd recognize it's talking to the people in the other Silo and getting them all worked up and vice versa now that's some free Free Speech but we don't have it don't have it anywhere the debates were stupid and fake and controlled that was nothing like any information at all for voters so given all that the the helpers can't help um V can go in public and do something freaking awesome every day and he almost does if you're following vake his public appearances are almost jaw-droppingly smart and you think wow that could move the needle no Democrat will see it they just don't see it it makes no difference and and uh you know I would argue that there are a number of people in that category they just can't break through the silo so what do you do well only Trump can break The Silo meaning that if he says something interesting Democrats have to hear it but he's the only one he's also the only one who seems incapable of doing the thing I'm going to suggest so something would have to change here's what I'm going to suggest um and it's based on a trick I learned years ago in my media training that there is a weakness that the media has which I exploit every chance I get which is why you're listening to me by the way if if I had not been exploiting this flaw in the media for 30 years you wouldn't even know who I was it's the primary trick I use it goes like this nobody in the Press cares that you did something better than somebody else you know unless it's the Olympics some special case but they don't care you're really good at something and somebody's a little bit not as good that's not a story and they won't care about it and they won't write about it but here's what they will write about if you're doing something if you're a public figure and you're doing something in a whole new way they'll write about that do you know why because when they write about a whole new way is fascinating it interests the writers but more importantly it interests the readers so readers like whoa you're doing this a whole new way so a story about Trump not spending as much on elections but using this you know social network strength that he had that was a story everybody told right both sides told that story it's a process story if somebody uses a new process and is so good it wins them the election of the United States President you cannot not tell that story every journalist wants to tell that story and do so if you do a new way of doing something that's guaranteed to cut across both silos so what he needs to do with the hoaxes is stop saying this is a hoax because that gets him nothing instead he needs to do the following number one build a hoax debunk website I know they exist I know the fans have built them he needs his own he needs a trump campaign H hoax debunking site but here's the key part and if you leave this out it's nothing so I I don't think I can emphasize this enough because I don't want you to hear well if he had a website debunking the H hoaxes is in good shape no it would be useless that would be useless it has to describe how it how they made the hoaxes that's the magic sauce the magic sauce is showing the technique so let me give you an example um let's say the fine people hoax comes up if Trump says that's a hoax everybody knows it's debunk yeah nothing but if he says you know what you really need to know you voters about how the system works is that it's almost entirely hoax based at this point and I'd love to teach you how the hoaxes are created so that you can spot them on your own for example the find people hoax is created just by a simple edit if you don't believe that and I wouldn't believe it if I've been watching the mainstream news either you can go to our hoax debunking website here's the URL and you can see for yourself the method they used the method that's the secret sauce if you want a journalist to cover it on both sides you talk about the method the method not the reality the method the method was to take off the take off the end of it and then the media that's fake would keep repeating it as a real thing and then you say here's another one the uh Covington kids the overfeeding the koi the I I would argue that you find the the drinking bleach one but I know that's that's more complicated it was about light they cut out the light part Etc it's a little harder sell but for each of the hoaxes you could say okay this one was done by mind reading they pretend they know what I'm thinking and they've pretended that when I said I would be a dictator for a day which was clearly just a hyperbole to to make a case about closing the Border they read my mind and acted like that was a real thing so you do you know there's the mind reading ones the fake EIC ones and instead of organizing The hoax list by hoaxes wait for it wait for it you organize the hoax list by Method here are the ones that are fake edits here are the ones that are mind reading here are the ones that are quotes taken in a context or whatever the categories are if you turn it into a how to do it and how they did it both sides are going to report it and if you can get a Democrat to look at even one of them and some somebody said to me that debunking the fine people hoax wouldn't change any votes what most of the Democrats who have changed sides have said that figuring out that the fine people hoax was fake was a deciding factor you've heard it right I mean this is anecdotal but have you all heard public figures say once I found out about the fine people hoax I was done with Democrats you've heard that haven't you some some high-profile people have said that recently so no that one is the that's the Rosetta Stone the fine people hoax more than all the other hoaxes is the one that's so simple to explain because they just clipped off the part where he said he clarified if you can get people to realize that they've been that duped by their own people they will be pissed and that causes action anger causes action and they will and they were the people who have switched sides they say I was angry when I found out what they did to me and I'd been out there repeating this hoax forever um next um you need to the all the supporters of trump need to refer to the same page now there are some uh hoax debunk sites but they're not organized the way I just described and therefore they have no value right and let me say it again a list of hoaxes has no value one it has to be a page that tells you how they did it how they did it is inescapable everybody wants to know how um so let me let me give you the the the talk that would do it the wrong answer is well the fine people uh hoax has been debunked it's been widely debunked that's wrong doesn't work here's the right if you want to lose all remaining faith in the media now you have my attention right if the first thing I say is if you want to lose all remaining faith in the media that's so interesting that you're going to listen to whatever comes next that's a writing trick make your first sentence like too interesting to to skip the second sentence so you say if you want to lose all remaining faith in the media go to the hoax site give the URL to see how how that hoax was created with a fake edit you can see the unedited video to see for yourself and when you're there look at how the other hoaxes were created too it's appalling that we have to live like this we need honest media to have a great country that would have ended the debate by the way if Trump had done that when the fine people hoax came up he would have been the winner of the debate and you wouldn't have remembered anything else and then further I would say that we need a QR code that goes to the uh the debunk page and it could be included very easily on any other messaging that has an image you know so just in the corner of anything else you say just put the QR code and you know hoax debunk site something like that and uh then then is sporters could take the QR code we just take a picture of it ourselves and every time somebody in the comments or on X or anywhere on social media says blah blah blah hoax you just say h check this out you either put the URL for a click or uh put the QR code and then uh I would also preemptively predict how the Democrats are going to respond with more hoaxes and fake factchecking so you might say you know if you got to check this the the uh press is going to respond we're just more new hoaxes but now you know how they're made when you see the new one check this page and you'll see which C it fits in it's either a mind reading or fake edit or something out a context and you just teach people to be experts as spotting it and what's that's called does does anybody understand the technique I'm teaching you it has another name you've heard it before oh come on you know this one tell me what technique I'm using the persuasion technique it's one Trum uses all the time he just hasn't used it in this context all right I think the the comments are a little delayed I think you know this one it's called thinking past the sale the sale is that these are hoaxes thinking past is let me show you how they were done if you can make them think about how they were done they have uncritically accepted that these most be hoaxes if they're worrying about how they were done and that is a very strong person persuasion trick it's one that Trump uses all the time in other contexts so he knows how to use it it's one of his best um meanwhile World War III is kicking off save that for last so apparently there the news is saying that uh blinken Secretary of State blinkin uh may have given Ukraine the green light to send some americanmade missiles uh deep into Russ Russia as Putin has pointed out there is no way that Ukraine could send these missiles deep into Russia unless they used NATO satellites which would make it a NATO operation and unless the NATO operators are the ones who actually sort of set up the missiles and probably push the button because it isn't so easy just to hand these missiles to somebody and say hey Point them to Russia doesn't work like that apparently there's quite a bit that goes in to making sure your your missile goes to the right place and it's unlikely that anybody except NATO people would be firing them so says Putin I'm not sure that's true but that's what Putin says and that would make it as Putin is trying to warn us that would make it a NATO attack on Moscow which would be a red line which would allow him to use nuclear weapons and you know I'd still bet against him using nuclear weapons because he would die right if Putin uses nuclear weapons Putin's going to be dead there's no question about that but so would a few billion other people so I think it's the last thing he wants to do because he is rational um but man here's what I would expect as a response I think if an American missile hits Moscow and they already have but but if it becomes more of a major attack on Moscow I think he's just going to bulldoze ke Kev Kev so obviously he's you know made major attacks on ke the capital before but I don't think he's really concentrated on it I mean he could send his entire Army his entire Air Force just to turn it into Rebel and he might and he wouldn't be wrong to do it in the context of War nothing's good in war but in the context of War if they do a strong attack on Moscow and he has the stronger military if he wants to he can just destroy the capital of Ukraine and with no remorse so I think that's more likely so I think KF has to worry about what they're getting um I suppose I did hear an opinion the other day that maybe uh you Ukraine and maybe Israel would like to start more of a war perhaps with Iran or Hezbollah which is also Iran in a sense um but that it might be the very best time to start a war is right away because the United States is so distracted and disjointed at the moment that if you don't want a strong response from America this would be the time to do it now I don't know I do not Embrace that to be true so I'd like to give a message to both uh Israel and Ukraine cuz I know you're watching if you take advantage of the United States when we're temporarily weakened you better finish us off because if you take advantage just because we don't have our together for a few months whoever gets in power is going to make that right and we're not going to be happy about it so my warning to anybody who wants to take advantage of a little bit of unrest in the United States is we're not going to be unstaffed right and we're not going to be happy about it so so uh I wouldn't I wouldn't mess with us when we've got some problems that that's going to come back 10 times stronger ER than you think and I think that's just human nature I'm not really saying anything that's some kind of brilliant strategy or geopolitical opinion I'm just saying human nature if you with us when we're confused and down we're going to be way matter way matter when we get right and we're going to get right pretty quickly especially if you with us so if you want the United States to organize and be United for once just with us when we got some trouble like during the election season yeah you're going to pay for that that that's going to be the most expensive thing you've ever done so just want you to know that meanwhile Russia has their own thermite spewing Dragon drones so you saw that the Ukraine has these thermite it's basically fire uh fire breathing drones now when you imagine how bad that would be um you think to yourself well it's a little drone how far can it throw fire anyway I mean it seems like itd have to get pretty close and it can't be that powerful oh yeah it can because it turns out that the way they're doing it is they're having the fire just use gravity so in other words they just fly over something and there's something about this thermite that makes it basically almost like a solid so the fire falls like a solid and it's some bad stuff so really bad stuff so I'm seeing a comment you suffer from the same idiot mindset most western people do you look at other people as if they like you they are not Russia is not susceptible to your big mouth never was never will be well you sound like a idiot all right see you are somebody who doesn't understand how anything in the world works you don't think that Russia and China are watching public opinion in the United States you don't know how risk management works either if I increase the risk profile of any action it changes Behavior maybe not in the end but it changes the likelihood of behavior so does Russia care about what Americans think yes they do you idiot does Israel care about what Americans think yes they do you idiot they do because our actions will determine a lot to them do we care about how they think yes we do because it matters to us to imagine that other countries don't give a what the United States thinks about vaporizing them with nuclear weapons is the dumbest thing I've seen all day so great comment there you're doing great anyway I feel a little spicy today because I may have gotten enough sleep for the first time so ladies and gentlemen this concludes my uh my prepared remarks and I'm going to go talk to the locals people except that one uh privately and uh I'll see you tomorrow and maybe in the man cave toight if you're part of locals so it takes a while for us this uh to be active it's going to be about 30 seconds before I'm talking to locals privately 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 for

e e

now you're all fixed aren't

you now you're

happy turns

out there was a button that need to be

pushed you're all good now

right thank you Paul you saved me again

good

save um I believe I was telling you that

this is coffee with Scott Adams and all

you need is a cup or mug or glass a

tanker chalse a canteen Jugger flask a

vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite

liquid I like coffee and join me now for

the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine

end of the day the thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens now

go well it looks like through my bad

engineering

uh I may have gotten rid of all the

viewers who are not serious viewers of

the show the rest of you stayed here and

said he's going to fix this because you

trusted me and your trust has been paid

off well did you know that China is uh

got a $31 billion push for making

nuclear power in that country they've uh

approved 11 reactors recently and 20 in

the past two years and

that's not why I bring it up now you

know if you're following the news that

whatever country falls behind in energy

production is going to lose the future

because AI will be driving everything

and if you don't have way more power

than we have in this country right now

you're not going to compete with China

on AI so whoever has the most

electricity basically is going to win on

AI because they could just do more of it

and faster so so nuclear power has gone

from something that would be really

important for your economy and maybe

good for the the world's uh pollution

and CO2 if you care about that but I

would argue that nuclear power is now

more important than nuclear

weapons you are you with me on that that

nuclear power plants creating

electricity is a more important weapon

of War because it's going to be driving

Ai and AI will drive

everything so nuclear weapons of course

would still be powerful but probably the

wars of the future are going to depend

on electricity and we don't have a way

to dominate in electricity and China is

just kicking our asses on Nuclear So

unless we get somebody who can really

push things in the United States we're

all in lot of trouble this would be

right near the top of my number one

existential risk problems it's not

number one but it's right up

there and I would recommend that you

follow the account on X called Zan

lights which is actually the name of a

person Zion is the first name just like

it sounds z o n and then lights last

name so if you follow that account which

is smish but the most uh I would say the

most accurate and

unbiased following of what's happening

in nuclear energy so highly recommended

get on that account if you're not

already there um by the way I one of the

things that I see as my Spider-Man

responsibility you know the Spider-Man

uh curse with great power comes great

responsibility now I don't have great

power but I have over a million

followers on

and I feel like one of the most useful

things I can do with my 1.1 million

followers is tell you who else you

should follow to make you

smarter that that's really one of the

best things I could ever do for the

world just make you smarter by telling

you to follow so Zion lights add that

one to your

list apparently uh

Boeing uh labor union the biggest labor

union is going on

strike because Boeing didn't need any

more problems but here it is or they

they they did I guess I should have said

that the other way

but um you know what would really help

their uh profits and their ability to

pay their employees more would be

building really good planes so the

machinists are on strike I feel like

Boeing is really getting every bad news

it could possibly get how much of this

this do you you think is Dei

related and the trouble is we don't

know you still saying you're muted or

are you trolling me

now Paul are you still

there I'm getting trolled on the audio

bunch of people saying I'm

muted is that because they're okay yeah

everything's working

trolls um thank you

Paul so I wonder if de is actually a

factor there's no way to know but the

theory is

that um de should destroy every country

or every company and then every country

it comes in contact with because by

design it destroys

organizations it is the one it is the

one thing that guarantees that you focus

on hiring less qualified people to meet

a different goal now if you say Scott

you racist why are you saying that some

other group is less

qualified I'm not saying that I'm saying

that if you focus on something other

than Merit you're going to get something

other than

Merit every time it's just the way

everything works and there's you know a

small pool of people available for a

certain time types of jobs and if you

try too hard to fix things with that

small pool of availability it should

destroy every country in America the

focuses on it so although there's no

direct evidence that that's what's

happening at Boeing given that they have

a bunch of government contracts I would

pretty much feel confident in saying

it's probably their biggest

problem I'm sure they have other big

problems but it's probably the biggest

one and it's not recoverable

it's not recoverable they're not going

to fire the people they already

hired so whatever their situation is now

it's that's what they're going to have

to work with so I don't know how they

work around it create a skunk

works I don't know I have no idea how

anybody survives Dei it should by its

design on paper it should destroy every

organization that touches

eventually and uh certainly lots of

evidence of that

well you'd be delighted to know there's

a research Consortium Consortium or

Consortium which is is a Consortium or

Consortium I don't know but it's one of

those things but uh yeah a bunch of uh

geoengineering types want to uh dump a

bunch of iron in the ocean to make the

ocean capable of absorbing I guess I

guess it basically they'd be fertilizing

the ocean with

um some kind of iron

stuff and it will make the phytoplankton

Bloom and it'll suck the carbon dioxide

right out of the

air all right let me ask you this what

are you more afraid of a nuclear power

plant

or trying to change the chemistry of the

ocean this is the scariest thing I've

ever seen it it's scary that they want

to change the atmosphere you know have

the

Planes release some kind of chemicals

that will alter the atmosphere does

solve climate change but I'm not so sure

I want to bloom a lot of phyto Plankton

because I don't know exactly if we know

what happens if you do that

so um I'd be a little careful about this

one I suppose there's probably a way to

test it

small

but yeah that I don't know and is it is

it recover

able if you stopped doing it do things

go back to where they were pretty

quickly I just don't know if this is a

good idea but I've got

questions well this is exciting

according to the New York Post there's

this device that's been uh created by

researchers at University College in

London and it's a little device that you

stick your finger in and

somehow believe it or not it's a they

call a Breakthrough Medical device to

stimulate what they call the natural

quote real feel sensation of human

touch so if you're isolated and you

don't have a lot of human touch you can

stick your finger into a device and it

will give you the Sensation that there's

a human being touching your

finger so I plan to get one of those to

uh stick my finger into

it no my finger I'm just going to put my

finger in it well what were you thinking

you perverts my God you're disgusting

I'm going to put my finger in it what

are you even thinking oh my God I'm

disgusted by all of

you that never even occurred to me not

once that I think if you can stick your

finger in it and it feels like a real

person that there might be some other

application for it I never thought of

that you're disgusting I love every one

of you

all right uh here's a story that makes

you shake your head and say should we

just give up and leave the

country maybe we should just give up on

America if you're an American just give

up all right here's a story that just

makes me want to go all right it

we're not even trying

anymore the National Association of

letter carriers in other words Post

Office

Union uh announced their endorsement of

K Harris and governor and Governor

Waltz uh the letter

carriers the people who will be holding

in their hands the

ballots they know

exactly what the voters in their area

are likely to favor by a

majority they know if they're living if

they're working a red neighborhood or a

blue neighborhood and they've just

endorsed one

side and you have to trust the people

who endorsed Harris to deliver your

ballot without throwing it away which is

what you know they want to do they want

to throw it away because they don't want

the other team to win now I'm not going

to cast any aspersion on on any postal

workers my father worked for the Post

Office for his entire career and

retired and if there's one thing I know

from all of the many many stories my

father told us over the dinner table you

can trust the Post

[Laughter]

Office no you can trust the Post Office

as much as you can trust any other

part of the government which is

not at all not at all well when uh I

used to uh mail my art so when I was a

new cartoonist

the we didn't do everything digital back

then I would actually create art on

paper and then I'd make copies of it

because I knew I was going to you know

mail off The Originals so I'd mail the

original to my syndication company and

then they would you know do what they

needed to do to put it in

newspapers I heard that Gary Larson

famous cartoonist of the time had to

stop using the post office because as

soon as they figured out who he was they

stole all of his packages CU they could

to sell his original

art so I heard that and I said to myself

well but they don't know who I am

because I was new so I was mailing my

art every day and then I got a little

more

famous and then they started recognized

me in the post office and that was the

last time any of my art ever reached its

destination they just started stealing

it after that so

no the post office

cannot be trusted years ago I also uh

wrote a story about a single woman who

didn't have any money but was giving

money to uh homeless people when she saw

them because they were doing even worse

than she was and she could not even

afford basically

anything I wrote a story and I said you

know what here's a post office box if

you want to send her some money and

solve her problem because she's

literally so kind this is a real story

she was so kind and religious really

that if she could eat a sandwich that

day and she saw somebody who might not

she would give him half her sandwich

like literally she would reach in her

lunch and give half of it to A A Street

person and people were moved by the

story and they sent her envelopes full

of cash I mean not full of but you know

$20 bill here and there

and she she got uh if you could imagine

probably thousands

my best guess thousands of dollars were

sent to her by just people who wanted to

help her out how many of those thousands

of dollars do you think she actually

received because it went through the

post office as soon as they noticed that

one of her letters had cash in it

because I don't know maybe you could

hold it up and see it or something they

stole everything else that ever went to

her they got 100% of all of her letters

and kept them the post

office now you feel good about the post

office the post office is going to

determine the

election because they're going to the

the mail ends will probably be the

confirmative you know consequential

thing and they get to decide if they

deliver it or not if they throw it away

instead of delivering it you'll never

know and if you did know it would be

after the new president is already in

office and nothing would change after

that how in the world is this legal

how in the

world is this legal now Joel Pollock

asked this question before I did on X so

I'm stealing his stuff

but I mean I look at this and I

think well I guess there's no law

against it because of free of speech but

if you design a system let's say you you

drew it down on paper and you said all

right we're going to going to have this

election system we're going to have a

the determined vote are going to come

into the mail and then we're going to

make sure the people who deliver the

mail are very biased in who wins and

they won't be watched every moment

because mail carriers don't have body

cams so they could just leave the whole

crate of ballots in their car drive it

home at night and throw it away or throw

it away in a dumpster on the way now

would you have ever approved that system

if you were designing the system would

you have approved that no would not on

paper you would have rejected that

immediately you would have said no

whatever we do we can't do that it's the

least the least trustworthy

group probably of any

entity I mean I don't know what

experience you've had with post offices

but it's hard to imagine a more corrupt

organization more corrupt in the

individual level than the top you know I

I don't have any accusations against

Senior Management I only know that that

the individuals that they hire are

pretty damn sketchy and on the regular

basis and I say that you know my father

worked there for over 30 years I

think

um I just have to tell you this one

story this is my one other post office

story in the early post office days when

I was a very young kid uh the post

offices at least were where I lived they

were actually required to have a loaded

firearm behind the desk so the post

offices were required it wasn't optional

they had to have a loaded gun available

in case some trouble went down now of

course times of modernized so I'm pretty

sure they got rid of that but this is a

true story there were days when for

whatever reason there was nobody to look

after me when I was a young kid and so

my father would just take me to work

and I'd be just sort of running around

behind the counter in the post

office and there a this this

loaded

gun on on a shelf that I could reach as

a

toddler do you think I played with it

when nobody was

watching

yeah of course I

did I'm like a toddler with a loaded gun

in the post office now

if you have any other

questions that's a true story if you

have any other questions about the the

workings of the post office I hope I've

answered them

all all right so our election is being

rigged in plain sight I think that

that's a fact based on reported news to

me this is

rigging and I gave you you know six

other examples they pretty obvious

rigging uh so you you don't have to

cheat on the individual votes to see how

much rigging is going on but that would

be cheating on individual votes I guess

uh K Harris has been saying that Goldman

Sachs approved of her economic plan over

Trump's uh Goldman Sachs says well that

might be technically true but when we

compared them there was like 0 2% of a

difference between the

plans yes hers was 2.2% better now let

me ask you this do you believe that

Goldman Sachs can look at some political

plans and calculate

accurately do you think that they can

calculate accurately to within

0.2% of what it's going to do to the

economy you idiots no Goldman

sacks you are idiots if you

think that any of your employees you're

smartest ones with all their computers

and maybe they use some Ai and they

calculated what the economy

would be up to 0 2% in the future nobody

can predict the future with a

complicated model all right if you

believe the climate change models are

real you're a idiot because they

couldn't be real humans can't do

anything like that not only can we not

measure the planet to any

accurate and reliable degree which we

know but nobody can put together the

variables to to calculate the future of

the temperature and Goldman

Sachs you're doing the same thing and

the public just doesn't know oh smart

people it must be something smart people

are doing well I couldn't possibly

understand it because of all the smart

people doing the the models oh I guess

somebody calculated exactly what the

economy will be in 10 years no none of

this is

possible it's not even close to possible

it's not even in the general realm zip

code planetary system of being

possible so if you're talking about

whether they did it or didn't do it

you're in the wrong conversation it's

not

possible that's what you need to

know not whether they forgot a

variable it it's just not possible and

the fact that we've ever been convinced

that the smart people can figure that

out is one of the greatest cons of all

time and and and let me tell you the

next time somebody who's really smart

tells you that they've predicted the

future in a complicated environment with

many

variables it's also not possible I don't

even know what I don't need to know what

the next thing is whatever the next

thing is if it's a complicated model

that's predicting in the future it's not

real that's what you need to

know all

right um Marian Williamson interestingly

says that uh the Democrats are making a

mistake by continuing to dump on Trump

about the eating cats issue because she

says quote Haitian Voodoo is in fact

real quote and to dismiss the story out

of hand rather than listen to the

citizens of

Springfield Ohio confirms in the minds

of many the voter stereotype of

Democrats as smug Elite jerks who think

they're too smart to listen to anyone

outside their own

Silo

Silo who uses that word a

lot Maryanne if you're

listening that was pretty

awesome

so um I don't know if the 's U much

reality to the eating of

animals I do think that it's you know if

there's a Haitian

Voodoo component of the

population and that they've done that

before and it can be confirmed that it's

something that happens in Haiti it would

be a miracle if it didn't happen

here right it if somehow it happened in

a let's say not even widespread

let's say if 10% of

Haitians had ever done it there's

certainly enough Haitians in America

where it would happen so if you want to

answer the question is it happening in

America I would ask one question did it

happen in

Haiti and is it like a regular thing

that even maybe 5% or even

2% if it happens in Haiti it's happening

here can we agree that asking the

Springfield Ohio resident

is a waste of time because we're not

going to believe them anyway many times

they won't know it's just their cat is

missing and they'll be like well my

cat's missing I think they got them you

you're probably never going to settle it

just by asking the Springfield people

now there might be a huge Smoking Gun

you know maybe somebody got some video

maybe there's a a Haitian who's

confessing so that would be useful but

if you want to know without any doubt

whatsoever just confirm whether or not

it happens in Haiti because everything

that happens there is going to come here

why wouldn't it there's no reason it

wouldn't if there's a religious you know

I don't know what Voodoo is is it

religious or just a a belief uh but if

it's a strong belief and it's strong

enough that they were going to kill an

animal there nothing would stop them

from killing an animal in in the United

States nothing so just find out if it's

true as Maran Williams says the Haitian

Voodoo is real and that it involves on

any regular basis or even irregular the

sacrifice of

animals we we can get a 100% accurate

answer just look at Haiti Am I

Wrong Am I Wrong to say that we're

looking in the wrong place we might find

it in Springfield and then that would be

good information but if you want to know

for

sure for sure just look at

Haiti see if they're doing it and I

don't know that by the way I don't know

the answer if Haiti is doing that in any

way that would possibly translate to the

United

States all

right New York Post is talking about uh

how there are more single liberal women

than

ever now I

assume that the relative birth rates you

know are not the story but rather that

more women are remaining single and of

them more of them are turning Democrat

so that's why the Democrats have this

huge lead but I would like to I can't

remember if I've given you this

hypothesis

before

but true or false by the way uh chat GPT

says this is true as to searches on the

internet but do you believe that uh

science has demonstrated to your

satisfaction I think there have been

multiple studies of the same thing that

if you're on hormonal birth

control you would have a different

preference for a male mate than if you

were off it you're all aware of that

right so I believe the way it works I

don't think I have it backwards I think

the way it works is if you're on the

pill you're looking for more of a a dad

type who who would be the the dad type

in the race Tim Walls timal has that Dad

kind of

vibe right so in theory and I'm just

talking in the most General way here if

you were on hormonal birth

control you would think that you'd

rather marry Tim wals again I'm not

saying he's your type I'm just speaking

conceptually you would rather look for a

Tim Walls type who's got a dad b and a

dad

Vibe then you would a Donald Trump type

who is sort of a Chad CAD uh Alpha

bastard

personality but if you are off of

hormonal birth control you would

actually prefer the Chad bad Alpha bad

guy who you hate but you still want to

hump his

leg but Tim W you might think he's a

great guy but boring and you don't need

him to protect your children or anything

he's just yeah he's there for the money

maybe

so if you believe and I I would say this

is not 100% confirmed but the science

very strongly seems to suggest multiple

studies show the same thing that uh

women's preferences for a mate what

could be more important than that your

preferences for a mate the most

important lifetime decision is

completely

reversed by hormone or birth control

and then we observe that these single

women the people most likely to be on

hormonal birth control have an almost in

my

opinion a mental

illness that seems to be based on their

uh dislike of

trump and their weird like of the Comm

Harris Tim Walls campaign

now what about older uh Republic

Republican

women if you're over

45 and you're Republican what do you

think of Donald

Trump well you're probably not on

hormonal birth

control and you probably like him now

are we going to keep treating that like

it's a

coincidence that the people who are

almost certainly likely to be on

hormonal birth control and we know that

hormonal birth control completely

changes your preferences for a mate you

don't think that changes your preference

for for a

candidate if you're thinking of doing a

major scientific research study to find

out if hormonal birth control changes

your political preferences can I can I

interrupt you for a moment save you some

time I can save you a lot of time and a

lot of money you know what I'm going to

say next right just ask Scot of course

it

does of course of course it does there's

no way in hell that it could change your

mating preferences without

changing your election leader preference

there's no way in hell that they

could be unrelated no

way but if you want to do the research

study and waste your time and waste your

money go

ahead um and by the way we know that if

you pump somebody with testosterone it's

going to change all the preferences too

right so it's not just women men who are

doing testosterone upgrades probably are

changing their preferences probably has

anybody noticed that uh let's let's see

if we can think of an

example do you remember what uh Mark

Zuckerberg was like when he first

founded

Facebook you probably would have said

he's a nerdish kind of a guy he was

always in good shape I'll give him that

but have you seen him shirtless lately

uh after a bout with some MMA fighters

he's freaking ripped do you think he's

taking any kind of testosterone boost I

don't know but the activities is

involved in are absolutely testosterone

boosters he's doing more dangerous stuff

definitely dangerous um he's doing

physical stuff he's clearly lifting and

you know working on his Fitness and then

magically unexpectedly surprisingly he

comes out a strong um appreciator of

Trump's saying fight fight fight and and

how and how awesome that was are these

all

coincidences it can't be a coincidence

if you can predict

it let's uh let's take Reed Hoffman put

him on a diet give him some

testosterone make him lift until he

looks like Mark

Zuckerberg with that his shirt and then

you check you you tell me if his

political preferences changed now he

might have other reasons for his

political preferences we don't know but

just using that as an example I don't

think it's a

coincidence that the that the Democrat

men have a certain

look and the Republican

men have a different

look I think a lot of this testosterone

and I don't know if anybody studied this

but I'll bet you if you just took a

random 100 Democrat men and a random 100

Democrat Republicans I don't think their

tea levels would be even

close and don't waste your money on it

just ask me I just told you it's

obvious well Politico reports the

January 6 has now been uh deemed a

national security event by Department of

Homeland security and that means that

they can put way more resources into

protecting

it so here's the good news uh it

authorizes um the Secret Service to have

a great role

in taking care of things you know it' be

the other law enforcement as well of

course uh lots of law enforcement but uh

Secret Service would have a bigger role

well you can trust those

guys can't

you um

let's see Senator Richard Blumenthal

Democrat uh he told us that the report

on the Trump assassination attempt which

by the way also involved the Secret

Service um that the report coming out

will absolutely shock the American

people he says quote this is Blumenthal

I think the American people are going to

be shocked astonished and appalled by

what will report to them about the

failures of the secret services the

assassination them uh they ought to be

appalled and astonished by the failure

of the Department of Homeland

Security

well so those are the same people who

are going to make sure that our capital

is secure this

time

now I'm no uh person who's developed a

multivariable model for the future but I

think it's deeply unlikely that

Republicans are going to storm the

capital again does anybody think that a

republican is going to storm the capital

again because there was never any chance

it would

work and a lot of them went to jail now

if it worked even in any any way you

could determine that something worked if

you could make any argument at all that

at least in some small way it worked

well yeah it might happen again but I

don't believe there's a single person in

the world who says you know if we had

just sauntered a little bit longer I

think we could have fixed the country

nobody thinks that nobody thinks that

they under sauntered if if we' moved

that Lecter a little bit further we

could have changed everything no no I

wouldn't worry about the capital getting

attacked anyway um but at least our

elections are secure let's see the

conquered monitor is reporting that um

apparently there's a way of auditing

their machines so that you can feel

confidence in it so here's their

auditing technique they're using in New

Hampshire and I I'd like to ask you

after I've explained it do you feel good

now because I'm doing this to make you

feel like our elections are secure all

right so they have an audit process

after the election to make sure that the

machines didn't do anything sketchy now

you're happy about that

right because we all want to make sure

you know obviously they test them before

but they also test them after to make

sure that there there's no mistakes

that's pretty good right here's how they

test

it they uh randomly select eight

machines

randomly H randomly who who do you think

does the random selecting do you think

they put all the machines into a random

number

generator or is there somebody whose job

it is to determine which eight of them

are the randomly selected ones what do

you think do you think they the scrappy

little State of New Hampshire put

together an AI model and some maybe

maybe had some kind of nuclear Decay

thing like Schrodinger's cat to make

sure that they had randomly picked the

machines or was it just some guy whose

job at was to pick the ones that were

easy to drive

to what do you

think I'll tell you what I think but I

probably don't have to tell you what I

think now suppose the randomness was

actually

appropriate suppose that wasn't a

problem and suppose they had actually

randomly correctly

randomized do you think checking eight

machines is going to tell you anything

how in the world is checking eight

machines going to tell you

anything my assumption about cheating is

that if it involved machines and I have

no confirmed evidence of any kind of

cheating of that kind but

hypothetically if it involved machines

do you think they were going to spread

it down across all the

machines the you think they were going

to just put a bug in every machine in

New Hampshire so if you check eight of

them you're going to catch it

that's not the way I would do it do you

know what machines I would uh corrupt in

New Hampshire if I were trying to

influence an

election none none because New Hampshire

is not in play it's not even a freaking

you know up for grabs kind of a estate

nobody would cheat in New Hampshire so

no we don't give a if you check

your eight random not random

machines you're not even trying that's

like not even trying

to

audit now again New Hampshire probably

doesn't have a

problem but you read a story like this

and it makes you think whoa probably

those other states are doing some

postelection audits too well if they are

it's probably just as as this

total

meanwhile Newsmax has to go to

trial because they said some things that

a uh smartmatic the company that makes

some machines didn't like uh the big

problem here it looks like allegedly is

that Newsmax may have suggested in their

reporting through who they talked to

more than what they said themselves that

some smartmatic machines were involved

in states where there were some

irregularities

reportedly but apparently smartmatic

doesn't even have any machines in those

places so news Newsmax has to kind of

explain why they think the smartmatic

machines were rigged in a place where

there are no smart Matic machines so

that would be smartmatic take now I

don't know if there's a I think the

defense is that Newsmax was reporting

other people's opinions so I think the

defense says well but they they didn't

get the case killed on that so we don't

know if that's going to hold any weight

but it does seem to me that every

conservative news site is being

bludgeoned to the point where

questioning any election in the future

would be corporate suicide so do you

think Newsmax and Fox News are going to

aggressively question any election

results I don't think so because they

might have gigantic amounts of money on

the line because they'll get sued

especially if they mention

machines um

let's see there's a report from the

Gateway

pundit now if any of this is true it's

really bad but I remind you that stories

of uh election

irregularities 95% of them won't pan out

so most of them are

fake are there 5% real ones well I don't

know that I wouldn't know unless I saw

one and it got confirmed which I haven't

seen at least one that's big enough that

would have changed everything so

whenever I tell you a story this is this

is me trying not to get sued so whenever

I tell you a story about a claim of

election irregularity it's someone

else's claim and I'm reporting it so I'm

going to try the same defenses Newsmax

in case they come after me um because I

do not know of any

confirmed cheating that would have

changed the election that's true I don't

know of

any anyway so according to the Gateway

pundit um uh there are a lot of uh

ballots that come in from overseas and

of course that's legal because if you're

an American and you're you're just

happen to be stationed overseas for a

number of reasons you're allowed to vote

by mail so here's the claim

um according to a Paul

Harris

um there's this they uh received lots of

ballots from

overseas and uh they know what a ballot

looks like it's a certain size it's 11

12 by1 19 and he says when he opened up

the box of ballots from overseas and he

expected to see all these 11 and a half

by1 19 ballots because that's the only

ones there

are it was a whole bunch of ballots that

were 8 and a half by

11 on copy

paper and

faxes from unknown sources

and the number of them was enough to

change the Maricopa

result just hold that in your head for a

moment now I don't know if this is true

remember um this is somebody else's

allegation I haven't done any

independent reporting on it and the

Gateway pundits talking about it but

this seems like sort of an easy claim to

check doesn't it or at the very least uh

Laura Trump and her her Watchers should

be watching this and the question they

should be watching is wait a minute why

are these ballots look like photocopies

and faxes they don't even look like like

real

ballots and do you think that the

Watchers could get them maybe challenged

or thrown out if they if they catch it

and challenge it at the point of

noticing it

maybe maybe I still think the the third

Act perfect ending to the the Trump

movie uh not an ending because you know

I'd like to see him in office for a few

years but uh would be that they cheat

right in front of the witnesses hoping

to get away with it but they don't and

that the witnesses say this entire

election has to be thrown out people

keep asking me do I do I have a vision

of who wins because in the past I have

right or wrong like I I have this

imagination of somebody winning and I

don't I I just see Blackness but not

Blackness like it's the end of the world

or the end of the country what I see is

no

decision what I see is that between the

election and the end of the year we

won't know who's going to be president

and I don't know why but probably

something to do with legitimate

complaints about the process maybe

somebody catches something but it takes

the courts a while to sort it

out we might have a president in

January if let's say our court system

can decode things enough and you know

they try really hard and people

cooperate and it's possible but I feel

like there might be months without a

president if we we might even have to

run the election again we might have to

Congress might have to change all the

laws so that the the the citizens

believe that the election is true next

time so and that's

impossible so I don't even

see a path I don't see any path that

we're going to choose a president the

system is designed to deny us an outcome

again if you showed it to me on paper

said all right here's our situation we

got all these states doing things

differently we got all these people

watching the Watchers may see some real

things but even if they see some fake

things like they m AK something that's

real as a fake they're going to report

it so you're going to have like

40,000 credible sounding signed under

oath reports of cheating what are you

going to do with

that 40,000 credible sounding signed it

under you know threat of going to jail

saying yeah I saw this and in my opinion

this was cheating what are you going to

do how in the world do you certify it if

you got 40,000 legitimate signed under

oath eyewitness multiple people saw it

it's on

camera now

remember my my assumption is that you'll

have

40,000 reports of cheating even if there

are

none because confirmation bias is just

so heavy in this situation if you put me

there in the as a watcher I'm sure sure

my brain would tell me I saw some

cheating because I kind of want to be

the guy who catches it you know like I

it would be my perfect fantasy that I'm

the one who caught the election

cheating it's got to be the same for the

other Watchers they don't put all that

time in there without thinking you know

I'd be kind of a star if I found that

cheating and changed everything so that

is a setup for confirmation bias of the

highest kind like guaranteed you there's

nowhere around it and on paper that's

the system we have now now I think we

need the Watchers that's exactly the

right thing to do but it guarantees we

don't have an election result that we

can

trust what are we going to do I don't

know I don't think it's going to turn

into any out of a civil war it'll just

be a messy messy process and somehow

we'll work our way through it because we

work our way through everything but wow

is it going to be

messy all right um here's my best idea

of the day let's see if everybody stayed

for this yeah looks like we got a lot of

people watching right now here's my

strongest strategy I was challenged the

other day I won't tell you by

who to figure out uh how to get out of

the sort of dull Drums of things looking

bad and into more of a a fighting

optimism let's call it that it's not

just optimism but it's optimism driving

fight and I woke up this morning

thinking you know I got a lot of sleep

last

night

and I have the optimism that we have not

yet begun to fight that's different than

the optimism you're definitely going to

win I think you should have some

uncertainty about that because it'll

drive your fight a little

harder but here's my best take

on how to

win and it's a

reframe by the way I have a book called

reframe your brain but this one's not in

the book so it's going to take a little

while for me to develop it so bear it

with me I think you're going to like the

payoff so I I posted this on X if you

want to see it yourself I said this I

said the Harris campaign's Trump hoax

overload strategy has been hugely

successful so they they throw so many

hoaxes at Trump including the debate

that it makes them either always on the

defensive which makes people think some

of these must be true it also takes him

off of his positive messaging and off of

his attacking her for her bad whatever

so as a strategy it's

brilliant persuasion wise it's unethical

as hell but is it effective yeah it

really is and is working totally so it's

taking all the energy out of Trump's

support ERS and it's taking all the

energy and a trump and they've

completely owned the they basically own

the conversation when they do the hoax

overload because it used to be they'd

toss in the hoax here and here and there

but Harris

just just one after another and they

were the kind of

hoaxes that are so obviously debunked

and so universally debunked that you

can't believe they do it unless as

others have pointed out unless they knew

they wouldn't get fact checked by the

mainstream media and sure enough they

didn't get fact checked now now

that we know that's the case what you

can't depend on is the media helping you

out debunking any hoaxes and there's no

reason for them to stop with the hoax

overload strategy because it's not it's

the overload that's the key it's not

just

hoaxes right just hoaxes is not good

enough it has to be the overload it's

taking all your energy away diversion so

that's totally working so what would you

do about that apparently they know Trump

has no effective defense against it

because your most obvious defense is to

say it's not true and then people want

to think it's true say oh you're a liar

because they've already framed him as a

liar once you framed Trump as a liar his

denial of a hoax doesn't have any weight

nothing to the people who have been

convinced that he lies about everything

but what could you do how could you

reframe this so it's not just a bunch of

hoaxes and somebody trying to say

they're not true because that ain't

working so here's my

idea um and and also I should note that

Trump's most capable supporters the ones

who really are good at persuasion and

stuff like that don't have any hope of

changing this because we're all siloed

as Maran Williamson points out the the

Press including X by the way I have

almost no exposure to anybody who's a

Democrat because X's algorithm gives you

more of what you want if you're a

Democrat you want Democrat stuff so

you'll never see my stuff and that's the

Free Speech platform the Free Speech

platform is

useless as long as the algorithm gives

you more of what you want it's useless

it it doesn't have any free speech power

at all so I'm not sure if uh Elon Musk

has

completely grasped that he doesn't have

a free speech platform he has a silo

where people can talk to

themselves and I hate to say it because

you know I'm a giant fan of Elon Musk

and what he's done with X but as long as

the algorithm gives you more of what you

want which by the way doesn't sound

crazy sounds sounds pretty sane give

people more of what they want but as

long as that's the case there's no free

speech going on is people just talking

to themselves the the ability to talk to

people who already agree with you is not

any kind of free speech I'd

recognize it's talking to the people in

the other Silo and getting them all

worked up and vice versa now that's some

free Free Speech but we don't have it

don't have it anywhere the debates were

stupid and fake and controlled that was

nothing like any information at all for

voters so given all that the the helpers

can't help um V can go in public and do

something freaking awesome every day and

he almost

does if you're following vake his public

appearances are almost jaw-droppingly

smart and you think wow that could move

the needle no Democrat will see it they

just don't see it it makes no difference

and and uh you know I would argue that

there are a number of people in that

category they just can't break through

the

silo so what do you do well only Trump

can break The Silo meaning that if he

says something

interesting Democrats have to hear it

but he's the only one he's also the only

one who seems incapable of doing the

thing I'm going to suggest

so something would have to

change here's what I'm going to

suggest um and it's based on a trick I

learned years ago in my media

training that there is a weakness that

the media has which I exploit every

chance I get which is why you're

listening to me by the

way if if I had not been exploiting this

flaw in the media for 30 years you

wouldn't even know who I was it's the

primary trick I

use it goes like this nobody in the

Press cares that you did something

better than somebody else you know

unless it's the Olympics some special

case but they don't care you're really

good at something and somebody's a

little bit not as good that's not a

story and they won't care about it and

they won't write about it but here's

what they will write about if you're

doing something if you're a public

figure and you're doing something in a

whole new way they'll write about that

do you know why because when they write

about a whole new way is fascinating it

interests the writers but more

importantly it interests the

readers so readers like whoa you're

doing this a whole new way so a story

about Trump not spending as much on

elections but using this you know social

network strength that he had that was a

story everybody told right both sides

told that story it's a process story if

somebody uses a new process and is so

good it wins them the election of the

United States President you cannot not

tell that story every journalist wants

to tell that story and

do so if you do a new way of doing

something that's guaranteed to cut

across both silos so what he needs to do

with the hoaxes is stop saying this is a

hoax because that gets him nothing

instead he needs to do the

following number one build a hoax debunk

website I know they exist I know the

fans have built them he needs his own he

needs a trump

campaign H hoax debunking site

but here's the key part and if you leave

this out it's nothing so I I don't think

I can emphasize this enough because I

don't want you to hear well if he had a

website debunking the H hoaxes is in

good shape no it would be useless that

would be

useless it has to

describe how it how they made the

hoaxes that's the magic sauce the magic

sauce is showing the

technique so let me give you an example

um let's say the fine people hoax comes

up if Trump says that's a hoax everybody

knows it's debunk yeah nothing but if he

says you know what you really need to

know you voters about how the system

works is that it's almost entirely hoax

based at this point and I'd love to

teach you how the hoaxes are created so

that you can spot them on your own for

example the find people hoax is created

just by a simple edit if you don't

believe that and I wouldn't believe it

if I've been watching the mainstream

news either you can go to our hoax

debunking website here's the URL and you

can see for yourself the method they

used the method that's the secret sauce

if you want a journalist to cover it on

both sides you talk about the method the

method not the reality the method the

method was to take off the take off the

end of it and then the media that's fake

would keep repeating it as a real thing

and then you say here's another

one the uh Covington kids the

overfeeding the

koi the I I would argue that you find

the the drinking bleach one but I know

that's that's more complicated it was

about light they cut out the light part

Etc it's a little harder sell but for

each of the hoaxes you could say okay

this one was done by mind reading they

pretend they know what I'm thinking and

they've pretended that when I said I

would be a dictator for a day which was

clearly just a hyperbole to to make a

case about closing the Border they read

my mind and acted like that was a real

thing so you do you know there's the

mind reading ones the fake EIC ones and

instead of organizing The hoax list by

hoaxes wait for it wait for it you

organize the hoax list

by

Method here are the ones that are fake

edits here are the ones that are mind

reading here are the ones that are

quotes taken in a context or whatever

the categories are if you turn it into a

how to do it and how they did it both

sides are going to report

it and if you can get a Democrat to look

at even one of them and some somebody

said to me that debunking the fine

people hoax wouldn't change any votes

what most of the Democrats who have

changed sides have said that figuring

out that the fine people hoax was fake

was a deciding factor you've heard it

right I mean this is anecdotal but have

you all heard public figures say once I

found out about the fine people hoax I

was done with Democrats you've heard

that haven't you some some high-profile

people have said that recently so no

that one is the that's the Rosetta Stone

the fine people hoax more than all the

other hoaxes is the one that's so simple

to explain because they just clipped off

the part where he said he

clarified if you can get people to

realize that they've been that duped by

their own people they will be pissed and

that causes action anger causes action

and they will and they were the people

who have switched sides they say I was

angry when I found out what they did to

me and I'd been out there repeating this

hoax

forever

um

next um you need to the all the

supporters of trump need to refer to the

same page now there are some uh hoax

debunk sites but they're not organized

the way I just described and therefore

they have no value right and let me say

it again a list of hoaxes has no value

one it has to be

a page that tells you how they did it

how they did it is inescapable everybody

wants to know

how

um so let me let me give you the the the

talk that would do it the wrong answer

is well the fine people uh hoax has been

debunked it's been widely debunked

that's wrong doesn't work here's the

right if you want to lose all remaining

faith in the media now you have my

attention right

if the first thing I say is if you want

to lose all remaining faith in the media

that's so interesting that you're going

to listen to whatever comes next that's

a writing trick make your first sentence

like too interesting to to skip the

second sentence so you say if you want

to lose all remaining faith in the media

go to the hoax site give the URL to see

how how that hoax was created with a

fake edit you can see the unedited video

to see for yourself and when you're

there

look at how the other hoaxes were

created too it's appalling that we have

to live like this we need honest media

to have a great

country that would have ended the debate

by the

way if Trump had done that when the fine

people hoax came up he would have been

the winner of the debate and you

wouldn't have remembered anything

else and then further I would say that

we need a QR code that goes to the uh

the debunk page and it could be included

very easily on any other messaging that

has an image you know so just in the

corner of anything else you say just put

the QR code and you know hoax debunk

site something like that and uh then

then is sporters could take the QR code

we just take a picture of it ourselves

and every time somebody in the comments

or on X or anywhere on social media says

blah blah blah hoax you just say h check

this out

you either put the URL for a click or uh

put the QR

code and then

uh I would also preemptively predict how

the Democrats are going to respond with

more hoaxes and fake factchecking so you

might say you know if you got to check

this the the uh press is going to

respond we're just more new hoaxes but

now you know how they're made when you

see the new one check this page and

you'll see which C it fits in it's

either a mind reading or fake edit or

something out a context and you just

teach people to be experts as spotting

it and what's that's

called does does anybody understand the

technique I'm teaching you it has

another

name you've heard it

before oh come on you know this

one tell me what technique I'm using the

persuasion technique it's one Trum uses

all the time he just hasn't used it in

this

context all right I think the the

comments are a little delayed I think

you know this one it's called thinking

past the

sale the sale is that these are hoaxes

thinking past is let me show you how

they were done if you can make them

think about how they were done they have

uncritically accepted that these most be

hoaxes if they're worrying about how

they were done and that is a very strong

person persuasion trick it's one that

Trump uses all the time in other

contexts so he knows how to use it it's

one of his

best um meanwhile World War III is

kicking off save that for

last so apparently there the news is

saying that uh blinken Secretary of

State blinkin uh may have given Ukraine

the green light to send some

americanmade missiles uh deep into Russ

Russia as Putin has pointed out there is

no way that Ukraine could send these

missiles deep into Russia unless they

used NATO satellites which would make it

a NATO operation and unless the NATO

operators are the ones who

actually sort of set up the missiles and

probably push the button because it

isn't so easy just to hand these

missiles to somebody and say hey Point

them to Russia

doesn't work like that apparently

there's quite a bit that goes in to

making sure your your missile goes to

the right place and it's unlikely that

anybody except NATO people would be

firing

them so says Putin I'm not sure that's

true but that's what Putin says and that

would make it as Putin is trying to warn

us that would make it a NATO attack on

Moscow which would be a red line which

would allow him to use nuclear weapons

and you know I'd still bet against him

using nuclear weapons because he would

die right if Putin uses nuclear weapons

Putin's going to be dead there's no

question about that but so would a few

billion other people

so I think it's the last thing he wants

to do because he is

rational

um but

man here's what I would expect as a

response I think if an American missile

hits Moscow and they already have but

but if it becomes more of a major attack

on Moscow I think he's just going to

bulldoze ke Kev

Kev so obviously he's you know made

major attacks on ke the capital before

but I don't think he's really

concentrated on it I mean he could send

his entire Army his entire Air Force

just to turn it into Rebel and he might

and he wouldn't be wrong to do it in the

context of War nothing's good in war but

in the context of War if they do a

strong attack on Moscow and he has the

stronger

military if he wants to he can just

destroy the capital of Ukraine and with

no

remorse so I think that's more likely so

I think KF has to worry about what

they're getting um I

suppose I did hear an opinion the other

day that maybe uh you Ukraine and maybe

Israel would like to start more of a war

perhaps with Iran or Hezbollah which is

also Iran in a sense um but that it

might be the very best time to start a

war is right away because the United

States is so distracted and disjointed

at the moment that if you don't want a

strong response from America this would

be the time to do it now I don't know I

do not Embrace that to be

true so I'd like to give a message to

both uh Israel and Ukraine cuz I know

you're

watching if you take advantage of the

United States when we're temporarily

weakened you better finish us off

because if you take advantage just

because we don't have our together

for a few months whoever gets in power

is going to make that

right and we're not going to be happy

about it so my warning to anybody who

wants to take advantage of a little bit

of unrest in the United States is we're

not going to be

unstaffed right and we're not going to

be happy about it

so so uh I wouldn't I wouldn't mess with

us when we've got some

problems that that's going to come back

10 times stronger ER than you think and

I think that's just human nature I'm not

really saying anything that's some kind

of brilliant strategy or geopolitical

opinion I'm just saying human nature if

you with us when we're confused and

down we're going to be way matter way

matter when we get right and we're going

to get right pretty quickly especially

if you with us so if you want the

United States to organize and be United

for once just with us when we got

some trouble like during the election

season yeah you're going to pay for that

that that's going to be the most

expensive thing you've ever

done so just want you to know that

meanwhile Russia has their own thermite

spewing Dragon drones so you saw that

the Ukraine has these thermite it's

basically fire uh fire breathing drones

now when you imagine how bad that would

be um you think to yourself well it's a

little drone

how far can it throw fire anyway I mean

it seems like itd have to get pretty

close and it can't be that powerful oh

yeah it can because it turns out that

the way they're doing it is they're

having the fire just use gravity so in

other words they just fly over something

and there's something about this

thermite that makes it basically almost

like a solid so the fire falls like a

solid

and it's some bad stuff so really bad

stuff

so I'm seeing a comment you suffer from

the same idiot mindset most western

people do you look at other people as if

they like you they are not Russia is not

susceptible to your big mouth never was

never will

be well you sound like a

idiot all

right see you are somebody who doesn't

understand how anything in the world

works you don't think that Russia and

China are watching public opinion in the

United

States you don't know how risk

management works either if I increase

the risk profile of any

action it changes Behavior maybe not in

the end but it changes the likelihood of

behavior so does Russia care about what

Americans think

yes they do you idiot does

Israel care about what Americans think

yes they do you idiot they do

because our actions will determine a lot

to them do we care about how they think

yes we do because it matters to us to

imagine that other countries don't give

a what the United States thinks

about vaporizing them with nuclear

weapons is the dumbest thing

I've seen all day so great comment there

you're doing

great anyway I feel a little spicy today

because I may have gotten enough sleep

for the first time so ladies and

gentlemen this

concludes my uh my prepared

remarks and I'm going to go talk to the

locals people except that one uh

privately and uh I'll see you

tomorrow and maybe in the man cave

toight if you're part of locals so it

takes a while for us this uh to be

active it's going to be about 30 seconds

before I'm talking to locals

privately
