Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take it up levels that nobody can even comprehend with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs. Just had to add that.

Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And you're here for it.

Well, there's a new study about coffee. Are you surprised? There's always a new study about coffee. And this time, according to the Indian Express, coffee is a repository of antioxidants. And the more you drink, the better your skin looks. That's right. Those who drink black coffee don't crack. No wrinkles. That's why I look so smooth, don't I? Totally smooth. It's all the coffee. I used to be full of wrinkles, but I drank coffee until they went away. No, it's not true. That's not true. I rubbed it on my body until it went away.

By the way, it reminds me of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger story. When he was first coming up and everybody could see that he was the star and he started winning things, he'd go to the gym and the young guys would be like, what's your secret? What's your secret? And people asked him so often that he started to carry a little bottle of oil with him. And it was just motor oil. It literally was motor oil. And he'd take it out of his bag and he'd say, if you rub this on your muscles and don't wash it off, leave it on there for 24 hours, it'll make you stronger, make your muscles grow or something. And so he would get these young guys in the gym to take a bottle of motor oil, rub it all over their body, and leave it on for a day. And then later he'd tell them it was a joke. That's one of the best stories. I hope it's true. But I think Arnold tells that story.

Well, anyway, OnlyFans brought in 1.7 billion dollars more than the entire cumulative NBA salaries. So the creators on this, it's just not the owner but the creators, brought in more money than the NBA, at least the players. Now there's some one creator who brought in 26 million a year or 65 million a year or something. So some of the money is just crazy.

But here is my prediction. Before the internet, you were lucky to find anybody in your little town who was willing to give you a baby and spend time with you. So you marry that person and you'd be happy with it. You didn't even have to be in love. It just had to make sense. So you know that potentially could be a stable situation even if it's not ideal. But once you have the internet and everybody can find everybody no matter where they're hiding, it kind of makes sense that we would turn into harems. And we have.

So for example, if you're an OnlyFans creator and you're a woman, you have thousands of men who are sexually satisfying themselves to one person, the same person. That's a harem. And they don't have better options because the people around them are saying, are you over six feet tall? Do you make six figures? And they're all sleeping with somebody who also has a harem. So the top, I don't know, 5% or 1% of men have unlimited options because all the women want the top 1% or 5%. So they basically have virtual harems that are changing over all the time. But the women too. They're just going on OnlyFans and they create their own harems.

What about the ones who are not doing any of those things? Well, they're either completely sexless or they're going from one incomplete bad situation to another. But basically the world has just figured out that I think men have gotten to the point, maybe 80% of them, that they'd rather beat off to a woman that they see on a digital thing every now and then because it feels better than the relationship they could get in the real world. Now that's just an observation. I'm not even saying how it should be different or what people should be doing with their life. I don't have any advice. I'm just saying that we've evolved into essentially a harem civilization. But at least it's fair. Men and women have their own harems, just differently.

Well, here's some news from AI. Google's DeepMind taught a robot how to tie a shoelace. Now if you don't think that sounds impressive, consider that whenever you see a robot doing something it seems to be using one hand at a time. It doesn't do a lot of things where both hands are coordinated. But imagine tying a shoelace. If your robot can tie a shoelace, that's pretty close to doing everything you're going to need it to do. So it can do that and clean the kitchen. And so it did about 98% of the things I wanted it to do. But the two-hand coordination thing is the one that impressed me.

So if you can get your robot to do two-handed coordination, the time between now and the time that you will have a full robot tennis partner, literally a tennis partner, a robot who can serve and hit the ball back, is probably five years. Yeah, it might have more to do with battery life and a little mechanical stuff to make sure the robot doesn't fall over. But they're pretty much there. So if it's coordinated with two hands and has vision, I'm pretty sure that a robot can play tennis, like legitimately play tennis. You hit every ball back in less than five years. But it could be a year. We might be one year away from a tennis-playing robot. I'm going to get one.

Well, we've been hearing for years that geothermal energy could be the big thing, but it never is. So geothermal is basically a two- or three-mile hole in the ground where if you go deep enough the Earth is super hot. The water down there is super hot and you can use that super hot water to create energy or warm your house or whatever. But it's very expensive to drill a two-mile deep hole or three miles. However, it turns out that at least one company, Fervo Energy, it's a Texas startup or upstart, I don't know, maybe it's been around a while, but they're using fracking. So the analogy was made that in the oil business when the idea of fracking first came up everybody said that'll never work, you crazy bastard with your fracking, get out of here. But apparently there was one entrepreneur who made fracking practical and then once it was practical everybody had to run and get some.

But the same thing's happening with geothermal. There's a fracking-like technology that's being employed that if it works could be a complete game changer for thermal energy. And unlike oil where you have to be in a certain place to get it, you could put a hole in the ground in a lot more places. So a hole in the ground as your energy source, it's just the cost of the hole. And they may be on the verge of having this enormous economic breakthrough in building a hole and using fracking to, in some way, anyway.

There's a company called Bots Inc. And what do they do? They make bots, I guess. Blockchain and robotics technology. So the robotics and blockchain, I don't know what the blockchain has to do with the robotics, but they announced that they're going to use Grok as their president. So rather than having a human president, they're going to use AI. And they chose Grok.

Now do you know what the hidden secret story behind this story is? I'm pretty sure I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the company that had one time announced that they were going to build their robots or their AI and the robot was going to be based on my personality. Like literally they named me because I had said publicly anybody who wants to use my personality for AI, it'd be a good idea and you have full rights. So they had actually planned to do that and they were going to make their robot basically my personality. Now after I got cancelled I'm pretty sure they changed those plans because they don't talk about that anymore. And I don't blame them. But they do say that their robot's going to be a sort of a casual funny robot. And I say to myself, I wonder if the only thing they changed about my personality was my voice. Because all you'd have to do is change my voice and nobody would recognize it as anybody's specific personality but it would still have one. So I have some curiosity. And by the way, it's completely authorized if they want to use my personality and put it in the robot and not give me credit in any way. Totally okay. I'm okay with that. So we'll see.

There's a study written about in SciPost that says at least with mice, if the grandfather mouse works out and then there's two generations of mice that follow, the grandchild mouse will have better cognitive abilities because the grandfather worked out. So the more exercise the grandfather mouse got, as each generation was born, the grandchild generation was cognitively superior in much the way that the grandparent became by exercising. Because exercise is good for your cognition, I guess.

Now suppose that got replicated in humans where you would know that if you exercised efficiently your grandkids would be smarter and more successful. It's not confirmed with humans, but if it worked in mice there's a good chance. And to me this, if it's true, it raises the possibility that one of the weirdest things I've ever thought about evolution might be true. This is just for fun, by the way, so you don't need to jump on me for my lack of scientific understanding. This is just for fun. I'm not trying to change anybody's minds.

But I've always said to myself if evolution is indeed the explanation of how we got here, and if we're a simulation it's not, but if it is, I've never quite bought the fact that you could get all the way here with nothing but the survivors. You know, the survivors have qualities that get passed on. It didn't seem like enough. Obviously it's part of it. It would certainly be part of it, might be most of it. But I always had this assumption that what you want the most when you're alive might get passed down to your children and actually might express itself eventually genetically.

So if you can do something as in your lifetime that changes the permanent, I don't know if it's genetic or chemical structure of a grandchild, that would suggest that what you wanted creates evolution. In other words, your mental state would be the driver of your evolution because you'd want to be healthy so you would exercise. And that wanting for yourself to be healthy gets passed down to the next generation. So in a sense you could say, well, it's the exercise that caused the grandkids to be smarter. But you don't exercise unless you decided to and you said I would be a better creature, whether I'm a better mouse or a better human, if I exercised. So your desire to exercise could get translated into your actions which get translated into changing the, I don't know if it's genetic or just chemical structure of the grandkids. So it's just kind of interesting that maybe you can will your way into evolution in some special cases. Just for fun. That was all.

United Airlines is going to add Starlink Wi-Fi to all its planes. Might be the end of 2025 when they have it done. Have any of you had this experience where you take a long flight over water where they don't typically have Wi-Fi and you think to yourself, I'm in the air in this device and I'm in the oldest technology possible. The plane's 30 years old and it doesn't have Wi-Fi because it's over the ocean. It just feels so barbaric.

And if I were going to buy stock in a state I would buy stock in Hawaii because if you fly from the west coast to Hawaii you spend five or six hours without Wi-Fi, which is crazy in today's modern world. But if you gave me Wi-Fi I wouldn't even mind the five-hour flight. I just get some work done and I'd entertain myself and it'd be great. So my enthusiasm to visit Hawaii would go up 30% by taking the pain of the flight away. That's a pretty big change in my mind. Maybe you too.

I have a theory about the pyramids. You want to hear it? I watched a show on YouTube. I don't know if any of it's true, but apparently there's some pottery from the ancient Egyptians that could not have been made by ancient Egyptians because the ancient Egyptian tools were softer than the pottery. And the pots were made to machine precision way beyond anything that any ancient could have made. And some of the thinking is that the ancient Egyptians didn't make them, that they just still had them. And that there was some of the pottery was made with rocks that are so hard that they would last basically forever. And so they just had them from some previous civilization that was just left over from another civilization that knew how to make them. And apparently the pottery from Egypt got less advanced every year, which would suggest, and you've probably heard lots of speculation about this, that the pyramids were not built by the Egyptians just like the pottery might not have been built by the Egyptians, but rather the Egyptians may have inherited this leftover stuff from some advanced civilization.

So now I'm going to give you my theory about why the pyramids exist. And I don't know if you've heard this one. It's just speculation. It's not based on much. So here's my hypothesis. I put myself in the place of the early civilization. So let's say you were an advanced civilization but you were isolated and the rest of the world were barbarians. And you also knew that your time was limited. Could be that, I don't know, maybe you had some disease that was killing you all. Maybe the barbarians were outnumbering you and even with your advanced technology you knew you couldn't hold them off. You're going to get destroyed. So you reached a point in your civilization where you knew you couldn't last. But you wanted to tell future generations forever that you had once been great. So you build a structure that can't be missed, will never be buried in sand, cannot be destroyed by floods or water, and will be there in 10,000 years. So you build a pyramid, the most sturdy structure you could ever imagine building, because the wind can't blow it over, hurricanes can't hurt it, probably water if the Sphinx was there before the... hold on, weird. I have a video queued up that just started itself for no reason.

Anyway, my theory is that the ancient advanced civilization wanted to not be forgotten. So they built something that would outlast them. I just throw that in the mix.

X is shutting down its headquarters in San Francisco, which used to be the headquarters of Twitter. And Elon Musk is not so happy with California and is done. That building is now, or at least the people, the business part of it, is out of San Francisco.

Brazil, do you remember it froze the assets of Starlink because it was mad at X? Those two companies are not related except that Musk owns both. They were trying to punish X and to do that they froze the assets of Starlink in Brazil. But they released the assets of Starlink after they stole 3.3 million dollars which was owed by the other company. So they fined X for what they claim to be information-related stuff. But they took the money from a completely different company. Brazil, what the hell is wrong with you? You've become, I don't even know what Brazil is anymore. Is it just some weird third-world dictator country that's not even trying to play fair with the rest of the world? So improve your game, Brazil.

Trump was in Nevada and he told them of his idea to make federal land available to build Hollywood-like studios in Nevada to put the real Hollywood in California out of business. Now I love that idea. I don't know if I'd put odds on it happening, but if he did make land available he would make federal land available for that as well as his idea of building futuristic cities, which I still think is among the best ideas of all time. It's not just one of the best Trump ideas. It's just one of the best ideas that you've ever seen in politics. So I could not be more positive about that.

But moving the movie studios makes so much sense for the Republicans because maybe if you move it to Nevada you're not going to get a bunch of woke people making garbage and maybe they make something that people want to see.

Meanwhile Oracle, which believe it or not still has business in California, it got permits to build three small nuclear reactors to power its gigantic AI data center. So he wants to build the kind that the Navy uses. The Navy already knows how to make them and put in submarines. The thinking is it would be a lot cheaper if you were not constrained to put them in a submarine. Because if you put in a submarine they make it small and probably has to have submarine-specific capabilities. I don't know what that would be. But if you don't have those limitations of putting it on a submarine you might be able to build these fairly easily if you get California to approve it. You have the permits but I think that's short of all the approvals they would need to complete this.

But imagine if that works. Because we think of nuclear energy in terms of there's going to be this big project and they're going to build it for your city and I don't know who owns it, but basically it's almost a utility kind of situation. Then you have Larry Ellison who needs way more electricity than California can get him. So he's like, well, how about I just build my own nuclear power plants? Who does that? Billionaires.

Here's the thing. I've said this before but the billionaires have a value in the United States that nobody else would ever satisfy. Meaning that Elon Musk can simply use his own money to do something that the government can't get done but the citizens won't do. Larry Ellison is using his company's money to build nuclear power plants which, if this works, pretty much would open up that entire market to every other big company that wanted to build their own power plant. He just has to make it work and it's existing technology so there's not much chance it won't work. If he can make it economical, and that's a big question, but it'll work because it's existing technology. So yes, I'm very in favor of the billionaires moving civilization forward when they have some special niche.

Matt Walsh has his new movie out. It's not getting mainstream advertisements. It's called "Am I Racist?" Now I've always seen clips from it and it looks hilarious and it looks like it's a good addition to the conversation. I hate to use that but it's a good addition to the media. Like it or not, it's just needed. It needed to be done. It has its place.

So Robin DiAngelo, the author who wrote I believe it was "White Fragility," which was a landmark work in terms of creating wokeness, she issued a statement denouncing the film. And Matt Walsh wanted us to know she denounced it. And she claims, according to Matt, that the movie is quote designed to humiliate and discredit anti-racist educators and activists. And as Walsh says, she couldn't be more correct in that assessment. Thank you, Robin. Yeah, that's the point of it. The point of it is to humiliate and discredit the people that he thinks should be humiliated and should be discredited. And I agree. So it got some good publicity there from Robin.

Well, True the Vote, the voting integrity organization, has announced that they somehow have figured out how to monitor over 25 million ineligible names on voter rolls across the country. Let me say that again. According to True the Vote, who apparently has done a lot of work, they claimed that there are 25.5 million people across all the states that are not eligible to vote. You know, they died or they moved or they're illegal non-residents or something. And they say that they will engage law enforcement and litigation partners if any of them vote. So basically putting out the threat that if anyone's tempted to vote using these illegal names, I guess I would include somebody pretending to be and filling out a ballot for an illegal name, but they're going to go after them. They're going to get litigation partners and go after them.

Now I like putting that threat out there. I don't know if they can really detect what they need to detect and make something of it. But actually how would they detect that? How would the outside organization know who voted by name and address? Is that knowable or would you have to do some kind of FOIA or lawsuit to get the information? Is the information even available? I have lots of questions. I like the general thrust of this, that somebody who's monitoring True the Vote is monitoring the ineligible names and that they're going to get tough about it. I don't know that they can know for sure if somebody voted from one of those lists. I don't know how you would know that. So that's the problem. If we can easily know that an ineligible person voted, wouldn't that allow us to stop them? I've got a feeling maybe it's not so easy to know if they voted. We'll see.

Meanwhile there's somebody I've never heard of, but I guess he's the travel writer and television host named Rick Steves. And somehow he made news despite me not knowing who he is by endorsing Harris. And in a little video he released he explained why he endorses her. He argued that the world doesn't need the quote chaos of Trump in the White House. The chaos. He's opposed the chaos of Trump. Where's the chaos come from, do you think? Where's all that chaos? 100% of it is coming from the Democrats. So the Democrats create the chaos and then they say well you can't vote for this guy because of all the chaos that they created. What chaos has Trump created all on his own? I can't think of anything because his supporters don't find any of it chaotic. Some of it's less than perfect, but why would you call that chaos? Every administration does things that some of us think are less than perfect.

So anyway that chaos thing is sort of a red flag for brainwashing in my opinion. I don't believe you could get to a reasonable opinion that chaos is your big problem. Like you wouldn't put it at the top of the list. Well you know when I look at climate change and I look at the national deficit and I look at immigration and the open borders, when I look at Ukraine and the trouble in the Middle East, the thing that I think of first is all that chaos. That's not a real opinion. Nobody sits down and says all right well let's look at the risks and rewards of each of these situations and yep, yep, when I've looked at all the risks and rewards I'm against the chaos. Chaos isn't even a real thing. Not only is it not a real thing, it's not even coming from Trump. It's literally coming from his enemies. So if he wants less chaos why doesn't he tell his own team to shut the heck up? Somebody said a 12-year-old is watching today so I pulled back.

All right, how would you like some optimism? Is anybody up for some optimism? I got a little for you. It might be really good. You might like it. You ready? Get ready. Optimism incoming.

There is something happening that I think you can feel. There has been an explosion of creativity around this they're-eating-the-dogs theme. You know, from something that Trump said at the debate. And you've probably seen it and you've probably seen multiple videos of people putting it to music and dancing to it. And it's viral all over the place. And I've never seen such a surge of creativity that is at such a high level. And you could add to that the stuff coming out of Nicole Shanahan's operation. She's released yet another amazing video. And I say amazing because you just look at the thinking and the quality and the note they're trying to hit and just the production. And it's amazing. It's called, her video is "Who Really Are the Maga People?" And it's this fictional story of someone with a British-sounding accent, I think British, who does like a fake documentary. You know, it's for fun. But they show ordinary MAGA people just hanging out with their kids and going to work in their trucks and stuff. And they all just look like good people. And the point of it is that this person who came to examine these dangerous MAGA people found out, oh wait, they're all really nice to hang out with. Why are they all kind to me? Why do they have this code of ethics? And everything seems like if you just left them alone we'd all be fine. So it was brilliant. You have to see it. My description of it doesn't really sell it. But so that's brilliant. And it's one of several she's done that are all brilliant. Whoever she's got working on these.

And then a whole avalanche of these Trump saying save the dogs. You know, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats. And the level of creativity that got unleashed and the specific way it was employed makes me feel this. Think of Trump as an energy monster, somebody who generates tremendous amount of energy. But think about this. He's been storing that energy like a battery, not in himself. He's been storing it in his base and his supporters. He's created this immense amount of energy. Some of it he uses himself and some of it he uses his tens of millions of supporters like a storage system. It's like a battery.

Now if you watch the debate as I did, I originally scored it as Harris's victory because it looked like a tie, which in this case would look like a victory for her. So I said publicly she won the debate. And it felt to the world, a lot of us, like even if you thought he won the debate it wasn't by much and it wasn't as good as you liked. And it just felt like, I hate to say it, he didn't have the goods. Like he was just a little short that night. Now I don't think it's necessarily his fault, although a few things I think he could have done better. I think it had to do with the setup. And you know Harris is actually good when she's doing memorized pieces. That's pretty much the whole story. You know, the ABC host plus the fact she could just do memorized pieces. But many people who support Trump felt like he didn't get across the line, that there was something he needed to accomplish and it was very important and he didn't get there. So what did they do? Did they change their mind, say I'm not going to vote? No they didn't. Did they say I'm going to vote for Harris, she had a good debate? No they didn't. But they had all this energy that he's been storing in them for so long. And all of a sudden it all came out.

And here's what it looks like to me. I don't know if you can feel it yet but I can feel it. His base has decided that they don't want Trump to win. They've decided they don't want him to win. They've decided they're going to make him win. It's a decision now. Everything changes when it's a decision. We are out of the preference stage now. Tens of millions of people just said if you can't do it we're going to drag him across the finish line. And you can feel that now. This is about Trump of course but the energy that he's been storing for years in his base just got unleashed in the weirdest way with this, you know, all the memes about the cats and the dogs. But they're all just wonderful.

And I'm going to publicly, I did this on X yesterday, but I'm going to change my scoring of the debate. Because the debate, when you score it as it happens and immediately after, you're using short-term memory. Short-term memory is what did this person say, how did you answer this question, did you avoid this question, did you say a lie, was it, did we fact check you. That's all short-term memory. Short-term memory doesn't move anything. It is valid to score a debate based on your short-term memory. So if you were doing let's say a college debate you wouldn't wait two weeks. You would score it right then using your short-term memory. But if there's something I learned from my friend and memory expert Carmen Simon, Dr. Carmen Simon in her books, is that your long-term memory is the one you want to influence. The long-term memory is a signal that you actually changed something. If you see something that makes you feel a certain way in the short term and you don't even remember it two weeks later, nothing happened. It was like it didn't happen.

So I ask you now, the debate's been over for a little while, not very long. What do you remember about it? You remember that Trump, who doesn't even own a dog or a cat, tried to defend your dog and your cat who you love more than people in some cases. Now the memes that pair him with the cute little animals could not be better persuasion. Because it takes the biggest complaint about him that he's a selfish, mean, cares-about-only-himself dictator bastard. Well if you see enough pictures of him saving your pets, not his own, he doesn't have any. And by the way the memes aren't real. It's just pictures of him with two lovable pets under each arm running from Haitian gangs and stuff. You cannot be unaffected by that. And it's not a surprise that it's becoming a huge meme. The memes probably are breaking through on TikTok and some other places to get to Democrats. Association is one of the major rules of persuasion. If you associate with, I'm seeing now pictures going by, the memes of him with dogs and cats and they're all adorable. I love every one of them. But association is one of the main levers of persuasion.

And without Trump doing that intentionally, his base with all the energy that he put there over the years decided they were going to use that energy to pair him with cats and dogs, lovable, beautiful, wonderful cats and dogs. And I can't even imagine a better persuasive wave than that association.

Now here's the opposite type. Today the news is going after Laura Loomer for having been on Trump's jet when he went to the debate. Now what they're trying to do is they're saying we're going to associate you with Laura Loomer so that whatever bad feelings we can make about her we can extend that to you. Oh, why were you hanging out with this person who said these things? Now we don't, none of us have to agree with anything that Laura Loomer has said. But I love the fact that Trump is a pirate ship. And if you can help him and you're all on board he doesn't have to agree with everything you've ever done in your life. But can you help the country? And that's where Laura Loomer is at. She's definitely working as hard as she can to help the campaign win. We don't agree with everything she has ever said. I don't believe that Trump agrees with everything that JD Vance has ever said. I don't believe he agrees with everything that Vivek has ever said, although they're pretty close. I don't believe he agrees with everything that Kennedy said, not everything. But can you work with them? Yes. This is the America I want.

If you're telling me that you don't like that Trump is okay with Laura Loomer being on his pirate ship, my response to you is do you not understand what a pirate ship is? Do you think the pirates are judging each other? No, no. They have a mission. The pirates are trying to get something done and that's the mission. So if you're going to worry about the associations you go worry about that. The pirates are going to load the cannons and get something done. So I've always loved that about Trump. That he can say if you're on my team then bring the things that are good and we'll work with that. If there's stuff I don't like, well that's sort of your issue. It's not for me to solve it. Why can't you live in a country where everybody's different and sometimes you like it and sometimes you don't? That's the America I want to live in. I don't care that my neighbor, I mean take my neighborhood. Do you think they all agree with me on politics? No. Do I love my neighbors? They're awesome. I got the greatest neighbors. I'm so lucky. That's true. I just have amazing neighbors. But none of us are worried about who agrees with anybody about politics. We don't talk about it. It's just not a thing. It's not important. So that's what I love about the pirate ship.

But the more important thing is that this huge wave of creative energy has been unleashed. And in my opinion the base has decided that they're going to make him win. If he falters we're going to pick him up. If he trips we're going to make up the distance. If he needs to be dragged we're going to drag him. And I think that's a decision now. And it feels different than just wanting it.

Well have you seen the debunk website? So I've decided that just to finish up on that. So my current view is that Trump completely won the debate. Because somehow in his Trump way he found that one issue that you can't get out of your head and it has some value to him. And two weeks later I don't remember a thing that Harris said. Nothing. I don't remember a thing. I just remember the dog thing. Now if you said but Scott remember this thing, yes, yes. If you reminded me of the thing I would say oh okay I do remember that. And you could do that 50 times and say but you remember she said this. I'd say oh okay yeah she did. But that's back of mind. Back of mind isn't the good stuff. Front of mind, long term, front of mind and long term, that's the gold standard of persuasion. And he's hit the gold standard. And it's just a huge victory. I could not have been more wrong when I scored it as a tie that goes to Harris. Because I was using short-term memory and none of that matters. None of it matters anyway.

We got lots more fun here. Have you seen the video where somebody used AI to alter Kamala Harris's face at one of her rallies? So it's the audio, the actual audio of her saying the actual things she really said at the rally. And the only thing they did was change her face to look like she'd been using meth for 30 years in a row. You know how meth people look with the mouth and the teeth and the distorted faces. And you see it and it's the funniest thing in the world. And the thing that's funny about it is that the meth face perfectly matches the messages. So you're not really laughing because the face is funny, although it's hilarious. You're laughing because the funny face and looking like a drunken meth addict perfectly matches the audio of her talking to her base. Now you have to see that one. It's in my X feed. You got to see this one. It will just make you cry with laughter. It's so perfect. And again that's another example of the creative burst that's coming out.

Anyway, remember I told you about the Trump hoax overload strategy that the Democrats are using. And somebody asked just in the pre-show, somebody said do you think that Kamala knows that the fine people hoax is a hoax? Of course she does. Yeah I guarantee it. Yeah there's no chance they don't know that they're doing massive hoaxes one after another. No, it's a strategy. It's a very clear strategy to overload the right so that they're just talking about the hoaxes. Because remember association. If I say no I didn't eat a hobo, well you're automatically going to pair me with the idea of eating a hobo even if the point was I didn't eat the hobo. Because that's another person rule, right? Your negatives don't register. Just the image does.

So anyway, the Trump hoax overload strategy that Kamala Harris's campaign is using is really, really good. So if you're just looking at does it work and is it brilliant, it works and it's brilliant. You know I'm not even going to shade that. It works and it's brilliant. So this is the first time I can remember, and you know I'm not an expert in politics, I've never seen two campaigns that were this good. And when I say good I don't mean honest. I mean they know their job. They know persuasion. They know what buttons to push. The Harris campaign is freaking good with what they have to work with. If you look at what they have to work with and the fact that they're a tie, they're just so good. But as I've said before I think Trump's campaign advisors are extraordinary and I think that his campaign has been extraordinary as well. So I wouldn't put one of them ahead of the other. They're both A+. I've never seen this before. You know we got we only have one candidate who's worth a damn but the campaigns are really good. That's my persuasion rating anyway.

So I suggested that the antidote to the hoax overload strategy would be a website of debunks so that somebody like Trump and any of his supporters, if challenged with any of these hoaxes, can say not that the hoax is fake because that doesn't buy you anything. You say let me teach you how these hoaxes are created. Go to the site AmericanDebunk.com. So it's American with an N on America, AmericanDebunk.com. That's all you have to remember. And I'm going to ask you all this. Memorize that. Say it a few times in your head. AmericanDebunk.com. I want you to be able to produce that in a conversation and say you know you're going to be amazed when you find out how they did that hoax. And then the Democrat you're talking to will say that's no hoax. And you say do me a favor, go to AmericanDebunk.com and you'll see what Republicans are seeing. You don't have to believe it. I won't try to change your mind but I want you to see what the Republicans see that you don't get to see. It's very short. They're very, very small segments of what the hoax is. I call it a hoax. You think it's real. But it also shows you how the hoax was created. It's the how it was created that's the magic sauce. I'll say this as many times as I need to. It is not anything to debunk a hoax by saying nothing. Nothing. You have to show how it was done. That's the thinking past the sale. If you can do that you can change minds.

Now somebody said to me nobody's going to change their vote because of the fine people hoax and finding out about it. Yes they will. We have multiple public examples where people on X, you know notable people, people whose names you've heard in public say you know when I saw that the fine people hoax was a hoax it just opened up. It was like the key to open the door to all the fake news. And then I switched sides. So yes that will change votes. So AmericanDebunk.com. I don't know who's behind it by the way but I did see some of my influence in the writing. So it's somebody. Could be somebody watching right now. I don't know. But if you want to take credit for it I would love to give it to you.

Mark Cuban asked a question. Oh you know what I want to show you. There's a new interview with Kamala Harris. And I first saw it when investor Bill Ackman was pointing to it on X. And his comment made me so curious. He just pointed to the video of the interview. It's with some local news station. And I'm paraphrasing but he basically said just watch this and make up your own mind who you're voting for. And I thought why would you not want to put your opinion on it? And then I watched it. Oh my God. I'm going to play it for you if my technology works here. So my plan is that if I push this button you're going to see me in the corner and then you're going to see her. And then if I push this I can play it and I'm going to turn on my sound.

"Madam Vice President, pleasure to meet you. Thanks for your time today. Our audience appreciates your time. As of course as you know we're sitting here in a state and arguably in front of an audience that 54 days from now could decide..."

I'm not going to play the whole interview. You hear it more than I do. People want to know more about you and about your specific plans. At the debate the other night you talked about creating an opportunity economy, talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people. What are one or two specific things you have in mind for... watch the specifics.

Well I'll start with this. I grew up a middle class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people, you know construction workers and nurses and teachers. And I try to explain to some people who may not have had the same experience, you know if, but a lot of people will relate to this. You know I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn, you know. And I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity and that we as Americans have a beautiful character. You know we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions. So when I talk about building an opportunity economy it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people. For example to start a small business. My mother worked long hours and our neighbor helped raise us. We used to call her, I still call her our second mother. She was a small business owner. She was, I love our small business owners. I learned who they are from my childhood. And she was a community leader. She hired locally. She mentored. Our small businesses are so much a part of the fabric of our communities not to mention really I think the backbone of America's economy. So my opportunity economy plan includes giving startups a $50,000 tax deduction to start their small business. It used to be $5,000. Nobody can start a small business with $5,000. But investing in people's innovative ideas and giving them the ability to go for it. Opportunity economy. What assault weapons do to the human body honest with you I think people Congress former Congress member Liz Cheney.

All right you could watch it if you can stand it but she's really, really bad at talking. She's really, really, really, really, really bad at talking. I've never seen anything like this. Honestly when I watched it the first time I was trying to figure out is she drunk? Does she have a mental problem? Because it might be that. I mean it looks like she's working through some kind of mental distress. Now she didn't look drunk but could there be some other pill that you take that makes your face exaggerate like that? Like why does her face get so exaggerated? I feel like somebody who knew drugs more than I do, you know the good stuff, might be able to identify that. Is that like a cocaine face? Is there a specific drug that would make you gesticulate and move and your face would be more animated? Because I don't spend time around cocaine people. So I'm just guessing. Would that be a possibility? Because whatever's happening here I don't spend any time listening to what she's saying and I spend the whole time thinking what's wrong with her. You know what I mean? Do you have the same feeling? Like all of my curiosity is what's wrong with her? Like why is she acting that way? Never seen anything like it.

Remember when I told you that I'll give you some optimism today. They either have to hide her until election day, which will be pretty big tell that she can't do the job, or they're going to let her do this again and her side is going to see what they're looking at. I don't know how she could possibly win. It's hard for me to imagine that she could possibly win if they see her in public answering any questions at all.

And I saw, let's see, Mike Cernovich suggested that instead of a debate Harris should have a Spaces event and it could be handled with hosts like David Sacks. And he suggested Mark Cuban. So imagine David Sacks, pro-Trump, and Mark Cuban, pro-Harris, being the moderators. And then Mike Cernovich suggested that they pick some third person randomly, which I'd love that to be me. No I wouldn't want to do it but that's a good idea.

But speaking of Mark Cuban, Mark Cuban has been, I don't want to say trolling, but he's been asking provocative questions of Trump supporters so they can argue with him in public or embarrass him in public. I don't know exactly what he's thinking. So I'll warn you not to make the mistake that I almost made right there. If you're trying to guess what Mark Cuban is thinking or what his motivation is, I don't know that that's anything you can do. Because he's a complicated smart guy who knows what his exact motivation is other than getting Harris selected of course. But in any given exchange if you're trying to guess is he being serious or is he trolling us, you know does he really need to know the answer to this, it kind of doesn't matter because we'll never know what his inner thoughts are. But we're dealing with the world in which it exists.

So he asked this question which I thought was actually a really good question. He said and asks for all supporters of the Republican nominee, what specifically will Trump do to lower grocery and other prices? And he says I'm curious. Now he states that he's curious. That sounds actually true to me. I think he actually is curious. So I took a shot at answering that question and let me tell you what I said.

So here's the answer to how would Trump lower prices. Number one, fewer government regulations which should increase supply which should increase or decrease prices in the long run. But there's a but to this. If Trump works with Kennedy, RFK Jr., and he uncovers these bad food practices you might find that food prices would go up in the short run if something gets banned. So for example if there's a fertilizer, this is just an example I don't know if any of this is true, but if there's some fertilizer, I'll just pick, you know I'm making up a fictional example, and we decide it's bad for the health of the people who eat the food that was fertilized with it. If it gets banned they might be able to make less food or they might pay more for the fertilizer. So you can see the costs going up in the short run. So to be fair there's at least one thing that Trump plans to do that has a direct probably upward pressure on prices. However if you were to get the unhealthy stuff out of the food supply suddenly your health care costs go down and maybe by a lot. So it would look more like an investment if it did make food more expensive in the short run, which would be a problem, definitely be a problem. But it could have the far bigger economic benefit of reducing all of our chronic illnesses. That would be the goal of it.

Next, if Elon Musk helps Trump reduce the government's spending that should reduce inflation and that should make your cost not rise. I like to give Trump credit for what you might call his salesmanship or his BS because it drives investment. I've described this before but if investors are confident then they invest and that creates good things. If they're not confident they don't. Trump has that salesperson, you know, go go go capitalism feeling that makes people think huh it doesn't look like he's going to give me more regulations. It doesn't look like he's going to make anything worse. I'm going to go invest some money. This is looking good. So his salesmanship story on the economy is way better than Harris's which is Marxist, at least has the scent of Marxism on it, which is way less inspiring.

I said that Trump's tax plans compared to Harris should give companies some room, more room to lower prices. If taxes go up on corporations they have less margin, less room to lower the prices. Trump would at least not raise their taxes. He might not lower them. Trump might not lower anybody's taxes but Harris would raise them for sure. So that would make food more expensive and everything.

Trump is more likely to approve larger energy projects. I do think the Biden administration has done better than the Republicans blame them for in energy. They haven't been terrible. They've been good on nuclear, could be better, and they've been reasonably good on drilling, could be a lot better. You know we haven't drilled on ANWR. There's a pipeline question. You know I'm sure there's a permit issue. So it does seem to me that Trump could probably end up approving larger energy projects which lower everybody's costs for everything because it's energy.

I said that Trump would waste less money on climate and wars and that goes to lowering inflation too. I said that Trump is more suited to protect our global supply chain. So you know a lot of things are more expensive because the ships don't want to go anywhere near the Houthis in Yemen because they're using their missiles on the ships. So if somebody could say hey Houthis I got a deal for you. If you shoot one more missile we're going to get rid of every single one of you. Sorry I couldn't go the whole day without swearing. And whether or not that's true even the Houthis are going to say oh well that looks serious because he might actually do it. You just don't know. So he's far scarier and that's got to be good if you're trying to scare people like the Houthis from shooting your ships. So I think he's more suited to protect the global supply chains. But in summary it's just better for the economy in general and that should help your prices. So that was my answer.

People are still saying hey how about a debate of some kind. There's not going to be any new debate. And here's the simple reason why. Trump would be crazy to agree to another debate on a network that is not in his favor. So the only one I think he would ever agree to would be Fox News or Newsmax or Tucker Carlson or something like that. And there's no way that Harris is going to agree to that. So you can stop even thinking about another debate. I mean Trump said he's not going to have one. But really that means he would have one if it were the right host. I think if it were the right host on Fox he would do it. Well let me put it this way. If Fox News said our hosts will be Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld would Trump do a debate? Probably. Probably yes. Would Harris do it? Not a chance. So there is no way that those two Venn diagrams are ever going to intersect. So debate is done. There will not be a debate. I guarantee it. You got all you're going to get.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings me to the close of my prepared remarks. I think it was one of the best shows you've ever seen. Probably getting better every minute. And I'm going to say a few words to the local subscribers because they're special. And thanks to all the people on X and YouTube and Rumble. It's always a pleasure to see you. I'll see you again tomorrow morning, same place. And in 30 seconds or so we're going to go private with the locals subscribers only. By the way there's a lot of good stuff on Locals that you've never seen if you're not a member.

going to be an amazing Saturday seems like all the stars are lining up could be the best show you've ever seen good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take it up the levels then nobody can even comprehend with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass a tankered cheler Stein a canteen Jugger Flex a vessel of any kind they're eating the dogs they're eating the cats they're eating the dogs just had to add that join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous and you're here for It Go such pleasure well there's a new study about coffee are you surprised there's always a new study about coffee and this time according to the Indian Express that coffee is a repository of antioxidants and uh the more you drink the better your skin looks that's right those who drink black coffee don't crack no wrinkles that's why I look so smooth don't I totally smooth it's all the coffee I used to be full of wrinkles but I drank coffee until they went away no it's not true that's not true I rubbed it on my body until it went away by the way it reminds me of my favorite Arnold shener story when he was uh first coming up and everybody could see that he was the star and he started winning things and he'd go to the gym and the young guys would be like what's your secret what's your secret and people ask them so often that he started to carry a little bottle of oil with him and it was just motor oil it literally was motor oil and and he'd say he' take it out of his bag and he' say if you rub this on your muscles and don't wash it off you know leave it on there for 24 hours it'll make you stronger make your muscles grow or something and and so he would get these young guys in the gym to take a bottle of motor oil rub it all over their body and leave it on for a day and then later he tell him was a joke that's one of the best stories I hope it's true but I think Arnold tells that story well anyway only fans brought in 1.7 billion dollar more than the entire cumulative NBA salaries so that so the creators on this is just not the owner but the creators brought in more money than the NBA at least the players now uh there's some one Creator who brought in $26 million a year or 65 million a year or something so some of the money is just crazy but here is my prediction before the internet you were lucky to find anybody in your little town who was willing to give you a baby and spend time with you so you marry that person and you'd be happy with it you didn't even have to be in love it just had to make sense so you know that potentially could be a stable situation even if it's not ideal but once you have the internet and everybody can find everybody no matter where they're hiding it kind of makes sense that we would turn into Herms and we have so for example if if you're an only fans creater and you're a woman you have thousands of men who are sexually satisfying themselves to one person the same person that's a harm and they don't have better options because the people around them are saying are you over six feet tall do you make six figures and they're all sleeping with what somebody who also has a heram so the top you know I don't know 5% or 1% a man have unlimited options because all the women want the top one or 5% so they basically have virtual Herms that are changing over all the time but the women too that they're just going on only fans and they create their own Herms what about the ones who are not doing any of those things well they're either completely sexless or they're going from one you know incomplete bad situation for to another but basically the world has just figured out that uh I think men have gotten to the point maybe 80% of them that they'd rather beat off to a woman that they see on a digital thing every now and then because it feels better than the relationship they could get in the real world now that's just an observation I'm not even saying you know how it should be different or you know what people should be doing with their life I don't have any advice I'm just saying that we've evolved into a essentially a Herm civilization but at least it's fair men and women have their own Herms just differently well here's some news from AI Google's Deep Mind taught a robot how to tie a shoelace now if you don't think that sounds impressive consider that whenever you see a robot doing something it seems to be using one hand at a time it doesn't do a lot of things where both hands are coordinated but imagine tying a shoelace if your robot can tie a shoelace that's pretty close to doing everything you're going to need it to do um so it can do that and clean the kitchen and so it did about 98% of the things I wanted it to do but the two-and coordination thing is the one that that impressed me so if you can get your robot to do two-handed coordination the time between now and the time that you will have a full robot tennis partner literally a tennis partner a robot who can serve and hit the ball back is probably five years yeah it might have more to do with you know battery life and a little mechanical stuff to make sure the robot doesn't you know doesn't fall over but they're pretty much there so if it's coordinated with two hands and has Vision I'm pretty sure that a robot can play tennis like legitimately play tennis you like hit every ball back in less than five years but it could be a year we might be one year away from a tennis playing robot I'm going to get one well we've been hearing for years that geothermal energy could be the big thing but it never is so geothermal is basically a two or three mile hole in the ground where if you go deep enough the Earth is super hot the waterers down there is super hot and you can use that super hot water to create energy or warm your house or whatever but it's very expensive to drill a two mile deep Pole or three miles uh however turns out that at least one company forvo energy is it's a Texas um startup or upstart they call it an upstar I don't know maybe it's been around a while but uh they're using fracking so the analogy was made that uh in the oil business when the idea of fracking first came up everybody said that'll never work you crazy Bastard with your fracking get out of here but apparently there was one entrepreneur who made fracking practical and then once it was practical everybody had to run and get some but the same thing's happening with geothermal there's a fracking like technology that's being employed that if it works could be a complete Game.

Changer for thermal energy and unlike oil where you have to be in a certain place to you know get it you could put a hole in the ground in a lot more places so a hole in the ground as your energy source it's just the cost of the hole and they may have done they may be on the verge of having this enormous economic breakthrough in building a hole and using fracking to to in some way anyway there's a saw the announcement that a uh company called Bots Inc and what do they do they make uh Bots I guess blockchain and Robotics technology so the Robotics and blockchain I don't know what the blockchain has to do with the robotics but uh they announced that they're going to use grock as their president so rather than having a human president they're going to use AI and they chose grock now do you know what the hidden secret story behind this story is I'm pretty sure I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the company that had one time announced that they were going to build their robots or their Ai and the robot was going to be based on my personality like literally they named me uh because I had said publicly anybody who wants to you know use my personality for a it' be a good idea and you have full rights so they had actually planned to do that and they were going to make their their robot basically my personality now after I got cancelled I'm pretty sure they changed those plans because they don't talk about that anymore and I don't blame them but they do say that their robots going to be a sort of a casual funny robot and I say to myself I wonder if the only only thing they changed about my personality was my voice because all you'd have to do is change my voice and nobody nobody would recognize it as anybody's specific personality but it would still have one so I have some curiosity and by the way it's completely authorized if they want to use my personality and put it in the robot and not not give me credit in any way totally okay I'm okay with that so we'll see there's a study written about in Sai post that says at least with mice if the grandfather mouse works out and then there's two generations of mouse mouses mice that follow that the grandchild Mouse will have better cognitive abilities because the grandfather worked out so the more exercise the grandfather mouse got at as each generation was born the the grandchild generation was cogn cognitively Superior uh in much the way that the grandparent became by exercising because exercise is good for your cognition I guess now suppose I got replicated in humans where you would know that if you exercised efficiently your grandkids would be smarter and more successful it's not confirmed Med with humans but if it worked in mice there's a good chance there's a good chance and to me this uh if it's true it raises the possibility that one of the weirdest things I've ever thought about Evolution might be true this is just for fun by the way so you don't need to you don't need to jump on me for my lack of scientific understanding this is just for fun I'm not trying to change anybody's minds but I've always said to myself if evolution is indeed the explanation of how we got here and if we're a simulation it's not but uh if it is I've never quite bought the fact that you could get all the way here with nothing but um the survivors you know the survivors have qualities that get passed on it didn't seem like enough I obviously it's part of it it would certainly be part of it might be most of it but I always had this assumption that what what you want the most when you're alive might get passed down to your children and actually might Express itself eventually genetically so if you can do something as in your lifetime that changes the permanent I don't know if it's genetic or chemical structure of a grandchild that would suggest that what you wanted creates evolution in other words your mental state would be The Driver of your Evolution because you'd want to be healthy so you would exercise and that wanting for yourself to be healthy gets passed down to the Next Generation so in a sense you could say well it's the exercise that caused the grandkids to be smarter but you don't exercise unless you decided to and you said I would be a better creature whether I'm a better mouse or a better human if I exercised so your desire to exercise could get translated into your actions which get translated into changing the I don't know if it's genetic or just chemical structure of the grandkids so it's just kind of interesting that maybe you can will your way into evolution in some special cases just for fun that was all right United Airlines is going to add starlink Wi-Fi to all its planes might be the end of 2025 when they have it done have you have any of you had this uh experience where you take a long flight over water where they don't typically have Wi-Fi and you think to yourself I'm in the air in this device and I'm in the oldest technology possible the plan's 30 years old and it doesn't have Wi-Fi because it's over the ocean it just feels so barbaric and if I were going to um if I were going to buy stock in estate I would buy stock in Hawaii because if you fly from the west coast to Hawaii you spend five or six hours without Wi-Fi which is crazy in today's modern world but if you gave me Wi-Fi I wouldn't even mind the 5-Hour flight I just get some work done and I'd entertain myself and it'd be great so my my uh say my enthusiasm to visit Hawaii would go up 30% by taking the pain of the flight away that's a pretty big change in my mind maybe you too I have a theory about the pyramids you want to hear it I watched a show on You.

Tube I don't know if any of it's true but apparently there's some pottery from the ancient Egyptians that could not have been made by ancient Egyptians because the ancient Egyptian tools were softer than the pop and the pots were made to machine Precision Way Beyond anything that any ancient could have made and some of the thinking is that the ancient Egyptians didn't make them that they just still had them and that there was some of the pottery was made with rocks that are so hard that they would last basically forever and so they just had them from some previous civilization there was just left over from another civilization that knew how to make them and apparently the pottery from Egypt got less Advanced uh every year which would suggest and you you've probably heard lots of speculation about this that the pyramids were not built by the Egyptians just like the pottery might not have been built by the Egyptians but rather the Egyptians may have inherited you know this leftover stuff from some Advanced civilization so now I'm going to give you my theory about why the pyramids exist and I don't know if you've heard this one it's just speculation it's yeah it's not based on much so here's my hypothesis I put myself in the place of the early civilization so let's say you were an advanced civilization but you were isolated and the rest of the world were barbarians and you also knew that your time was limited could be that I don't know maybe you had some disease that was killing you all maybe The Barbarians were outnumbering you and even with your advanced technology you knew you couldn't hold them off you're going to get destroyed so you reached a point in your in your civilization where you knew you couldn't last but you wanted to tell future Generations forever that you had once been great so you build a structure that can't be missed will never be buried in sand cannot be destroyed by floods or water and will will be there in 10,000 years so you build a pyramid the most sturdy structure you could ever imagine building because the wind can't blow it over hurricanes can't hurt it probably water if the Sphinx was there before the hold on weird I I have a video queued up that just start itself for no reason anyway um so my theory is that the ancient Advanced civilization wanted wanted to not be forgotten so they build something that would Outlast them I just throw throw that in the minut uh X is shutting down its a headquarters in San Francisco which used to be the headquarters of Twitter and uh Elon mus not so happy with California and is done that building is now or or at least the people the business part of it is of San Francisco um Brazil do you remember it froze the assets of starlink because it was mad at X they those two companies are not related except that musk owns both they were trying to punish X and to do that they froze the assets of Starling in Brazil uh but they released the assets of starlink after they stole $3.3 million which was owed by the other company so they they find X for what they claim to be you know information related stuff guess and uh but they took the money from a completely different company Brazil what the hell is wrong with you I you've become I don't even know what Brazil is anymore is it just some weird third world dictator country that's not even trying to be you know the play fair with the rest of the world so improve your game Brazil um Trump was in h Nevada and he told them of his idea to make federal land available to build Hollywood like studios in Nevada to put the real Hollywood in California on a business now I love that idea I I don't know if I'd put odds on it happening but if he did make uh land available he would make a federal land available for that as well as his idea of building futuristic cities which I still think is among the best ideas of all time it's not just one of the best Trump ideas it's just one of the best ideas that you've ever seen in of politics so I could not be more positive about that but moving the movie studios make so much sense for the Republicans because maybe if you move it to Nevada you're not going to get a bunch of woke people making garbage and maybe they make something that people want to see meanwhile Oracle which believe it or not still has business in California uh it got permits to build three small nuclear reactors to power its gigantic AI data center so he wants to build the kind that the Navy uses the Navy already knows how to make them in put in submarines the thinking is it would be a lot cheaper if you were not constrained to put them in a submarine because if you put in a submarine they make it small and probably has to have submarine specific capabilities I don't know what that would be but if you don't have those limitations of putting it on a submarine you might be able to build these fairly easily if you get California to improve it you have the permits but I think that's short of all the approval they would need to complete this but imagine if that works because we we think of nuclear energy in terms of there's going to be this big project and they're going to build it for your city and I don't know who owns it but basically it's almost it's a a utility kind of situation then you have Larry Ellison who needs way more electricity than California can get him so he's like well how do how about I just build my own nuclear power plants who does that billionaires you know here's the thing I've said this before but the billionaires have a value in the United States that nobody else would ever satisfy meaning that and Elon Musk can simply use his own money to do something that the government can't get done but the citizens won't done Larry Ellison is using his company's money build nuclear power plants which if this works pretty much would open up that entire Market to every other big company that wanted to build their own power plant he just has to make it work and it's existing technology so there's not much chance it won't work you if he can make it economical and that's that's a big question but it'll work because it's existing technology so yes I'm very in favor of the billionaires moving civilization forward when they have some special Niche this you know Matt Walsh has his new movie out it's not getting you know mainstream advertisements it's called miir racist now I've always seen clips from it and it looks hilarious and it looks it looks like it's a good addition to the uh let's say the conversation I hate to use that but it's it's a good addition to the media like it or not it's just needed it needed to be done it has its place so Robin D'Angelo the author who write wrote I believe it was white fragility which was a you know sort of a landmark work in terms of creating wokeness she issued a statement denouncing the film and uh Matt Walsh wanted us to know she denounced it and she claims according to Matt that the movie is quote designed to humiliate discredit anti-racist Educators and activists and as Walsh says she couldn't be more correct in that assessment thank you Robin yeah that's the point of it the point of it is to humiliate and discredit the people that he thinks should be humiliated and should be discredited and I agree agree so got some good publicity there from Robin well through the vote the voting Integrity organization Checker um has announced that they somehow have figured out how to monitor over 25 million just hold that number in your head 25 million ineligible names on voter roles across the country let me say that again according to tr the vote who apparently has done a lot of work they claimed that there are 255 million people across all the states that are not eligible to vote you know they died or they moved or they're illegal non residents or something um and they say that they will engage law enforcement and litigation Partners if any them vote so basically putting out the threat that if any anyone's tempted to vote to these illegal names I guess I would include somebody pretending to be and filling out a ballot for an illegal name but uh they're going to go after them they're going to get litigation partners and go after them now I like putting that thread out there I don't know if they can really detect what they need to detect and make something of it but actually how would they detect that how how would the outside organization know who voted by name and address is that knowable or would you have to I don't know do some kind of Foya or lawsuit to get the information is the information even available I have lots of questions I like I like the general thrust of this that somebody who's monitoring true the vote is monitoring the ineligible names and that they're going to get tough about it I don't know that that they can know for sure if somebody voted from one of those lists I don't know how you would know that so that's the problem if if we can easily know that an ineligible person voted um wouldn't that allow us to stop them I've Got a Feeling maybe it's not so easy to know if they voted we'll see uh meanwhile there's somebody i' never heard of but I guess he's the travel writer and television host named Rick Steves and somehow he made news despite me not knowing who he is by endorsing here and uh in a little video he released he explained why he endorses her he argued that the world doesn't need the quote chaos of trumping the White House the chaos he's opposed the chaos of trump where's the Chaos come from do you think where's all that chaos 100% of it is coming from the Democrats so the Democrats create the chaos and then they say well you can't vote for this guy because of all the chaos that they created what what chaos has TR created all on his own I can't think of anything because his supporters don't find any of it chaotic some of it's you know let's say less than perfect but why would you call that chaos every Administration does things that of us think are less than perfect so um anyway that chaos thing is sort of a red flag for brainwashing in my opinion I don't believe you could get to a reasonable opinion that chaos is your big problem like you wouldn't put it at the top of the list well you know when I look at uh I look at climate change and I look at the national deficit and I look at immigration and the open borders when I look at Ukraine and the trouble in the Middle East the thing that I think of first is all that chaos that's not a real opinion nobody sits down and said all right well let's look at the risks and rewards of each of these situations and yep yep when I've looked at all the risks and rewards I'm against the chaos chaos isn't even a real thing not only is it not a real thing it's not even coming from Trump is literally coming from his team so if he wants less chaos why doesn't he tell his own team to shut the heck up somebody said a 12-year-old is watching today so I pulled back all right how would you like some optimism is anybody up for some optimism I got a little for you it might be really good you might like it you ready get ready optimism in coming there is something happening that I think you can feel there has been an explosion of creativity around this they're eating the dogs theme you know from the something that Trump said at the debate and you've probably seen it and you've probably seen multiple videos of people putting it to music and dancing to it and it's it's viral all over the place and I've never seen such a surge of creativity that is at such a high level and you could add to that the stuff coming out of Nicole Shanahan's operation she's released yet another amazing video and I say amazing because you just look at the the thinking and the quality and the the note they're trying to hit and just the production and it's amazing it's called her video is who really are the magga people and it's this fictional story of some with the British sounding accent I think British who does like a it's like a fake documentary you know it's for fun but they show ordinary mag of people just hanging out with their kids and going to work in their trucks and stuff and they all just look like good people and the the point of it is that you know this person who came to examine these dangerous magga people found out oh wait they're all really nice to hang out with why are they all kind to me what why do they have this code of ethics and everything seems like if you just left them alone we'd all be fine so it was brilliant you have to see it my description of it doesn't doesn't really sell it but so that's brilliant and it's you know one of several she's done that are all brilliant who whoever she's got working on these and then a whole Avalanche of these Trump saying save the dogs you know they're EA they're eating the dogs they're eating the cats and the the level of creativity that got Unleashed and the specific way it was employed makes me feel this uh think of trump as an energy monster somebody who generates tremendous amount of energy but think about this he's been storing that energ like a battery not in himself he's been storing it in his base and his supporters he's created this immense amount of energy some of it he uses himself and some of it he uses his tens of millions of supporters like a storage system it's like a battery now if you watch the debate as I did I originally scored it as Harris's Victory because it looked like a tie which which in the case in this case would look like a victory for her so I said publicly she won the debate and it felt to the world a lot of us like even if you thought he won the debate it wasn't by much and it wasn't as good as you liked and it just felt like I hate to say it he didn't have the goods like he was just a little short that night now I don't think it's necessarily his fault although a few things I think he could have done better I I think it had to do with the setup and you know Harris is actually good when she's doing memorized pieces that's pretty much the whole story you know the the ABC host plus the fact she could just do memorized pieces but many people who support Trump felt like he didn't get across the line that there was something he needed to accomplish and it was very important and he didn't get there so what' they do did they change their mind say I'm not going to vote no they didn't did they say I'm going to vote for Harris she had a good C she had a good debate no they didn't but they had all this energy that he's been storing in him for so long and all of the sudden it all came out and here's what it looks like to me I don't know if you can feel it yet but I can feel it his base has decided that they don't want Trump to win they've decided they don't want him to win they've decided they're going to make him win it's a decision now everything changes when it's a decision we are out of the preference stage now tens of millions of people just said if you can't do it we're going to drag You' we're going to drag him across the finish line and you can feel that now this is about Trump of course but the energy that he's been storing for years in his base just got Unleashed in the weirdest way with this you know all the memes about the cats and the dogs but they're all just wonderful and I'm going to publicly I did this on act yesterday but I'm going to change my scoring of the debate because the debate when you score it as it happens and immediately after you're using short-term memory short-term memory is what did this person say how did you answer this question did you avoid this question did you say a lie you know was it did we fact check you that's all short-term memory short-term memory doesn't move anything it it is valid to score a debate based on your short-term memory so if you were doing let's say a college debate you wouldn't wait two weeks you would score it right then using your short-term memory but if there's something I learned from my friend and memory expert Carmen Simon Dr.

Carmen Simon in her books is that your long-term memory is the one you want to influence the long-term memory is is a signal that you actually changed something changed if you see something that makes you feel a certain way in the short term and you don't even remember it two weeks later nothing happened it was like it didn't happen so I ask you now the debate's been over for a little while not very long what do you remember about it you remember that Trump who doesn't even own a dog or a cat tried to defend yours your dog and your cat who you love more than people in some cases now the the memes that pair him with the cute little animals could not be better better persuasion because it takes the biggest complaint about him that he's a selfish mean cares about only himself dictator bastard well if you see enough pictures of him saving your pets not his own he doesn't have any and and by the way the memes aren't real it's just pictures of him you know with two lovable pets under each arm you know running from haian gangs and stuff you cannot be unaffected by that and it's not a surprise that it's becoming a huge meme the memes probably are breaking through on Tik Tock and some other places to get to Democrats Association is one of the major rules of persuasion if you associate with I'm seeing now pictures going by the memes of him with dogs and cats and they're all adorable I love every one of them but Association is one of the main levers of persuasion and without Trump doing that intentionally his base with all the energy that he put there over the years decided they were going to use that energy to pair him with cats and dogs lovable beautiful wonderful cats and dogs and I can't even imagine a better persuasive wave than that Association now here's the opposite type uh today the news is going after uh Laura lumer for having been on Trump's jet when he went to the debate now what they're trying to do is they're saying we're going to associate you with Laura lumer so that whatever bad feelings we can make about her we can extend that to you oh o why were you hanging out with this person who said these things now we don't none of us have to agree with anything that Laura lumer has said but I love the fact that Trump is a pirate ship and if you can help him and you're all on board he doesn't have to agree with everything you've ever done in your life but can you help the country and that's where Laura lummer is at she's definitely working as hard as she can to help the campaign win we don't agree with everything she has ever said I don't believe that Trump agrees with everything that JD Vance has ever said I don't believe he agrees with everything that Vu has ever said although they're pretty close I don't believe he agrees with everything that Kennedy said not everything but uh can you work with them yes this is the America I want if you're telling me that you don't like that uh he that Trump is okay with Laura lumer being on his pirate ship my response to you is do you not understand what a pirate ship is do you think the Pirates are judging each other no no they have a mission the Pirates are trying to get something done and that's the mission so if you're going to worry about the associations you go worry about that the Pirates are going to load the Cannons and get something done so so I've always loved that about Trump that that he can say if you're on my team then bring the things that are good and we'll work with that if there's stuff I don't like well that's sort of your issue it's not for me to solve it why can't you live in a country where everybody's different and sometimes you like it and sometimes you don't that's the America I want to live in I I I don't care that my neighbor dis I mean take my neighborhood do you think they all agree with me on politics no do I love my neighbors they're awesome I got the greatest neighbors I'm so lucky that's true I just have amazing neighbors uh but none of us are worried about who agrees with anybody about politics we don't talk about it it's just not a thing it's is not important so that's what I love about the pirate ship but the more important thing is that uh this huge wave of craved energy has been Unleashed and in my opinion the base has decided that they're going to make him win if he falters we're going to pick him up if he trips we're going to make up the distance if he needs to be dragged we're going to drag him and I think that's a decision now and it feels different than just wanting it well have you seen um the uh debunk um website so I've decided that uh just just to finish up on that so my my current view is that uh Trump completely won the debate because somehow in his Trump way he found that one issue that you can't get out of your head and it has some value to him and two weeks later I got don't remember a thing that Harris said nothing I don't remember a thing I just remember the dog thing now if you said but Scott remember this thing yes yes if you reminded me of the thing I would say oh okay I do remember that and you could do that 50 times and say but you remember she said this I'd say oh okay yeah she did but that's back of Mind back of mind isn't the good stuff front of Mind long term front of mind and long term that's the gold standard of persuasion and he's hit the gold standard and it's it's just a huge Victory I I could not have been more wrong when I scored it as a tie that goes to Harris because I was using short-term memory and none of that matters none of it matters anyway um we got a lots more fun here have you seen have you seen the uh the video where somebody used AI to alter kamla Harris's face at one of her rallies so it's the audio the actual audio of her saying the actual things she really said the rally and the only thing they did was change your face to look like she'd been using meth for 30 years in a row you know how meth people look with the mouth and the teeth and the you know distorted faces and you see it and it's the funniest thing in the world and the thing that's funny about it is that the meth face perfectly matches the messages so you're not really laughing because the face is funny although it's hilarious you're laughing because the funny face and looking like a a drunken meth adic perfectly matches the audio of her talking to her base now you have to see that one it's it's in my X feed you got to see this one it will just make you cry with laughter it's so perfect uh and again that's another example of the the creative burst that's coming out anyway remember I told you about the Trump a hoax overload strategy that the Democrats are using and um somebody asked just in the pre-show somebody said do you think that uh kamla knows that the fine people hoax is a hoax of course he does yeah I guarantee it yeah there's there's no there's no chance they don't know that they're doing massive hoaxes one after another no it's a strategy it's a very clear strategy to overload the right so that they're just talking about the hoaxes because remember Association if I say no I didn't eat a hobo well you're automatically going to pair me with the idea of eating a hobo even if the point was I didn't eat the hobo because that's another person rule right your negatives don't register just the image does so anyway so the Trump HX overload strategy that kamla Harris's campaign is using is really really good so if you're just looking at does it work and is it brilliant it works and it's brilliant you know I'm not even going to shade that it works and it's brilliant so this is the first time I can remember and but you know I'm not an expert in politics I've never seen two campaigns that were this good and when I say good I don't mean honest I mean they know their job they know persuasion they know what buttons to push the Harris campaign is freaking good you with what they have to work with if you look with what what they have to work with and the fact that they're a tie they're just so good but as I've said before I think Trump's campaign advisors are extraordinary and I think that his campaign has been extraordinary as well so I wouldn't put one of them ahead of the other they're both A+ I've never seen this before you know we got we only have one candidate who's worth a dam but the campaigns really good that that's my persuasion rating anyway so I suggested that the antidote to the hoax overload strategy would be a website of debunks so that somebody like Trump and any of his supporters if challenged with any of these hoaxes can say not that the hoax is fake because that doesn't buy you anything you say let me teach you how these hoaxes are created go to the site American debunk tocom so it's American with the n on America American debunk that's all you have to remember and I'm going to ask you all this memorize that say say it a few times in your head American debunk American debunk domcom I want you to be able to produce that in a conversation and say you know you're going to be amazed when you find out how they did that hoax and then the Democrat you're talking to will say that's no hoax and you say do me a favor go to American debunk dcom and you'll see what Republicans are seeing you don't have to believe it I won't try to change your mind but I want you to see what the Republicans see that you don't get to see it's very short they're very very small segments of what the hoax is I call it a hoax you think is real but it also show you how the hoax was created it's the how it was created that's the magic sauce I'll say this as many times as I need to it is not anything to debunk a hoax by you nothing nothing you have to show how it was done that's the thinking past the sale if you can do that you can change Minds now somebody said to me nobody's going to change their vote because the find people hoax and finding out about it yes they will we have multiple public examples where people on X you know notable people you know people whose names you've heard in public say you know when I saw that that find people hoax was a hoax it just opened up it was like the key to open the door to all the fake news and then then I switch sides so yes that will change votes so American debunk decom I don't know who's behind it by the way but I did see some of my influence in the writing so it's somebody could be somebody watching right now I don't know but if you want to take credit for for it I would love to give it to you um Mark cubin asked a question oh you know what I want to show you there there's a new interview with Kell Harris and uh I first saw it when uh investor Bill Amman was pointing to it on X and his comment made me so curious he just he just pointed to the video of the interview it's with some local um news station and and uh I'm paraphrasing but he basically said uh just watch this and make up your own mind who you're voting for and I thought why why would you not want to put your opinion on it and then I watched it oh my God I'm going to play it for you if my technology works here so my plan is that if I push this button you're going to see me in the corner and then you're going to see her and then if I push this I can play it and I'm GNA turn on my sound Madam vice president pleasure to meet you thanks for your time today our audience appreciates your time as of course as you know we're sitting here in a state and arguably in front of an audience that 54 days from now could decide he question too long I'm not gonna play the whole inter you hear it more than I do people want to know more about you and about your specific plans at the debate the other night you talked about creating an opportunity economy talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people what are one or two specific things you have in mind for watch the specifics well I'll start with this um I grew up a middle class kid my mother raised my sister and me she worked very hard um she was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager um I grew up in a community of hardworking people you know construction workers and nurses and teachers and I try to explain to some people who may not have had the same experience you know if but a lot of people will relate to this you know I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn you know and um and I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity and that we as Americans have a beautiful character you know we have Ambitions and aspirations and dreams but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and Ambitions so when I talk about building an opportunity economy it is very much with the mind of invest ing in the Ambitions and aspirations and the and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people for example to start a small business um my mother you know worked long hours and our neighbor helped raise us we used to call her was I still call her our second mother she was a small business owner she was I love our small business owners I learned who they are from my childhood and she was a a community leader she hired locally she mentored toward our small businesses are so much a part of the fabric of our communities not to mention really I think the backbone of America's economy so my opportunity economy plan includes giving startups a $50,000 tax deduction to start their small business it used to be $55,000 nobody can start a small business with $5,000 but investing in people's innovative ideas and giving them the ability to go for it um opportunity econ economy what assault weapons do to the human body honest with you I think people congress former Congress member Liz Channing all right you could watch it if you can stand it but she's really really bad at talking she's really really really really really bad at talking I've never seen anything like this honestly when I watched it the first time I was trying to figure out is she drunk does she have a mental problem because it might be that it I mean it looks like she's working through some kind of mental distress now she didn't look drunk but could there be some other pill that you take that makes your face exaggerate like that like why does there a face gets so exaggerated I feel like I feel like somebody who knew drugs more than I do you know the good stuff might be able to identify that is that like a cocaine face is there is there a specific drug that would make you gesticulate and you know move and your face would be more animated CU I I don't spend time around cocaine people so but I'm so I'm just guessing would that be a possibility because whatever's whatever's happening here I don't spend any time listening to what she's saying and I spend the whole time thinking what's wrong with her you know what I mean do you have the same feeling like all of my curiosity is what's wrong with her like why why is she acting that way never seen anything like it remember when I told you that I'll give you some optimism today they either have to hide her until election day which will be pretty big tell that she can't do the job or they're going to let her do this again and her side is going to see what they're looking at I don't know how she could possibly win it's hard for me to imagine that she could possibly win if they see her in public answering any questions at all um and I saw let's see Mike cernovich suggested uh that instead of a debate Harish should have a a spaces event and it could be uh handled with hosts uh like David Sachs and he suggested Mark cubin so imagine David Sachs prot Trump and Mark Cuban Pro Harris uh being the moderators and then Mike covich suggested that they pick some third person randomly um which I'd love that to be me no I wouldn't want to do it but uh that's a good idea but speaking of uh Mark cubin Mark cubin has been uh I don't want to say trolling but he's been asking provocative questions of uh Trump supporters so they can argue with him in public or embarrass him in public I don't know exactly what he's thinking so uh I'll warn you not to make the mistake that I almost made right there if you're trying to guess what Mark cubin is thinking or or what his motivation is I don't know that that's anything you can do uh because he's a complicated smart guy who knows what his exact motivation is other than getting haris selected of course but in any given exchange if you're trying to guess is he being serious or is he trolling us you know does he is he really does he really need to know the answer to this it kind of doesn't matter because we'll never know what his inner inner thoughts are but we're dealing with the world in which it exists so he asked this question which I thought was actually a really good question he said an asks for all supporters of the Republican nominee What specifically Will trump do to lower Grocery and other prices and he says I'm curious now he states that he's curious that sounds actually true to me I think he actually is curious so I took a shot at answering that question and let me tell you what I said uh so here's the answer to how would Trump lower prices number one fewer government regulations which should increase Supply which should increase or decrease prices in the long run um I said if but there's a but to this if uh if Trump works with Kennedy RFK Jr and he uncovers these bad food practices you might find that food prices would go up in the short run if something gets banned so for example if there's a ferti this is just an example I don't know if any this is true but if there's some fertilizer I'll just pick you know I'm making up a fiction fictional example and we decide it's bad for the health of the people who eat the food that was fertilized with it if it gets banned they might be able to make less food or they might pay more for the fertilizer so you can see the the costs going up in the short run so to be fair there's at least one thing that Trump plans to do that has a direct probably upward pressure on prices however if you were to get the unhealthy stuff out of the food supply suddenly your health care costs go down and maybe by a lot so it would look more like an investment if it did make food more expensive in the short run which would be a problem definitely be a problem but it could have the Far Far bigger economic benefit of reducing all of our chronic illnesses that would be the that would be the goal of it next if if Elon Musk helps Trump reduce the government's spending that should reduce inflation and that should make your uh cost not Rise um I like to give Trump credit for what you might call his salesmanship or his BS uh because it drives investment I've described this before but if investors are confident then they invest and that creates good things if they're not confident they don't Trump has that salesperson you know go go go capitalism feeling that makes people think huh it doesn't look like he's going to give me more regulations it doesn't make doesn't look like he's going to make anything worse um I'm going to go invest some money this is looking good so his his salesmanship story on the economy is way better than Harris's which is you know Marxist uh at least has the scent of Marxism on it which is way less inspiring I said that uh Trump's tax plans compared to Harris should give companies some room um more room to lower prices if uh if taxes go up on corporations they have less margin you know less room to uh to lower the prices Trump would at least not raise their prices he might not lower them it might not Trump might not lower anybody's taxes but Harris would would raise them for sure so that would make food more expensive and everything um Trump is more likely to approve I'm going to say larger energy projects I do think the uh Biden Administration has done better than the Republicans um blame them for in in energy they haven't been terrible they've been good on nuclear could be better and they've been reasonably good on drilling could be a lot better you know I mean we haven't we haven't drilled on war there's a pipeline question you know I'm sure there's a permit issue so it does seem to me that Trump could probably um end up approving larger energy projects which lower everybody's costs for everything because it's energy um I said that Trump would waste less money on climate and wars and that goes to lowering inflation too I said that Trump is more suited to protect our Global Supply Chain so you know a lot of things are more expensive because the ships don't want to go anywhere near the hoties in Yemen because they're using their missiles on the ships so if somebody could say hey hoodies I got a deal for you if you shoot one more missile we're going to get rid of every single one of you sorry I couldn't go the whole day without swearing and whether not that's true even the hoodies are going to say oh well that looks serious because he might actually do it you just don't know so he's far scarier and that's got to be good if you're trying to scare people like the hoodies from shooting your ships um so I think he's more suited to protect the global Supply chains but in summary it's just better for the economy in general and that should help your prices so that was my answer um people are still saying hey how about a debate of some kind there's not going to be any new debate and here's the simple reason why Trump would be crazy to agree to another debate on a on a network that is not in his favor so the only one I think he would ever agree to would be you know Fox News or news max or Tucker Carlson or something like that and there's no way that Harris is going to agree to that so you can stop even thinking about another debate I mean Trump said he's not going to have one uh but really that means he would have one if it were the right host I think if if it were the right host on foxy do it well let me put it this way if uh if Fox News said uh our hosts will be uh Dana Pino and Greg geld would would Trump do a debate probably probably yes would Harris do it not a chance so there is no way that those two ven diagrams are ever going to intersect so debate is done there will not be a debate I guarantee it you got all you're going to get um and that ladies and gentlemen brings me to the close of my prepared remarks I think it was one of the best shows you've ever seen probably getting better every minute and uh I'm going to say a few words to the uh local subscribers because they're special and thanks to all the people on X and You.

Tube and Rumble it's always a pleasure to see you I'll see you again tomorrow morning same place and in 30 seconds or so we're going to go private with the locals subscribers only by the way there's a lot of good stuff on locals that you've never seen if you're not a member e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

going to be an amazing

Saturday seems like all the stars are

lining

up could be the best show you've ever

[Music]

seen good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

it's called coffee with Scott Adams and

you've never had a better time but if

you'd like to take it up the levels then

nobody can even comprehend with their

tiny shiny human brains all you need for

that is a cup or a mug or a glass a

tankered cheler Stein a canteen Jugger

Flex a vessel of any kind they're eating

the dogs they're eating the cats they're

eating the dogs just had to add that

join me now for the unparallel pleasure

the dopamine hit of the day the thing

that makes everything better it's called

the simultaneous

and you're here for It

Go such pleasure well there's a new

study about coffee are you surprised

there's always a new study about coffee

and this time according to the Indian

Express that coffee is a repository of

antioxidants and uh the more you drink

the better your skin looks that's right

those who drink black coffee don't crack

no wrinkles that's why I look so smooth

don't I totally smooth it's all the

coffee I used to be full of wrinkles but

I drank coffee until they went away no

it's not true that's not true I rubbed

it on my body until it went

away by the way it reminds me of my

favorite Arnold shener

story when he was uh first coming up and

everybody could see that he was the star

and he started winning things and he'd

go to the gym and the young guys would

be like what's your secret what's your

secret and people ask them so often that

he started to carry a little bottle of

oil with him and it was just motor oil

it literally was motor oil and and he'd

say he' take it out of his bag and he'

say if you rub this on your muscles and

don't wash it off you know leave it on

there for 24

hours it'll make you stronger make your

muscles grow or something and and so he

would get these young guys in the gym to

take a bottle of motor oil rub it all

over their body and leave it on for a

day and then later he tell him was a

joke that's one of the best stories I

hope it's true but I think Arnold tells

that

story well anyway only fans brought in

1.7 billion dollar more than the entire

cumulative NBA salaries so that so the

creators on this is just not the owner

but the creators brought in more money

than the NBA at least the

players now uh there's some one Creator

who brought in $26 million a year or 65

million a year or something so some of

the money is just crazy but here is my

prediction before the internet you were

lucky to find anybody in your little

town who was willing to give you a baby

and spend time with you so you marry

that person and you'd be happy with it

you didn't even have to be in love it

just had to make

sense so you know that potentially could

be a stable situation even if it's not

ideal but once you have the internet and

everybody can find everybody no matter

where they're

hiding it kind of makes sense that we

would turn into

Herms and we have so for example if if

you're an only fans creater and you're a

woman you have thousands of men who are

sexually satisfying

themselves to one person the same person

that's a

harm and they don't have better options

because the people around them are

saying are you over six feet tall do you

make six figures and they're all

sleeping

with what somebody who also has a heram

so the top you know I don't know 5% or

1% a man have unlimited options because

all the women want the top one or 5% so

they basically have virtual Herms that

are changing over all the time but the

women too that they're just going on

only fans and they create their own

Herms what about the ones who are not

doing any of those things well they're

either completely

sexless or they're going from one you

know incomplete bad situation for to

another but basically the world has just

figured out that uh I think men have

gotten to the point maybe 80% of them

that they'd rather beat off to a woman

that they see on a digital thing every

now and then because it feels better

than the relationship they could get in

the real

world

now that's just an observation I'm not

even saying you know how it should be

different or you know what people should

be doing with their life I don't have

any advice I'm just saying that we've

evolved into a essentially a

Herm

civilization but at least it's fair men

and women have their own Herms just

differently well here's some news from

AI Google's Deep Mind taught a robot how

to tie a shoelace now if you don't think

that sounds impressive consider that

whenever you see a robot doing something

it seems to be using one hand at a time

it doesn't do a lot of things where both

hands are coordinated but imagine tying

a

shoelace if your robot can tie a

shoelace that's pretty close to doing

everything you're going to need it to do

um so it can do that and clean the

kitchen and so it did about 98% of the

things I wanted it to do but the two-and

coordination thing is the one that that

impressed me so if you can get your

robot to do two-handed coordination

the time between now and the time that

you will have a full robot tennis

partner literally a tennis partner a

robot who can serve and hit the ball

back is probably five

years yeah it might have more to do with

you know battery life and a little

mechanical stuff to make sure the robot

doesn't you know doesn't fall over but

they're pretty much there so if it's

coordinated with two hands and has

Vision I'm pretty sure that a robot can

play tennis like legitimately play

tennis you like hit every ball back in

less than five years but it could be a

year we might be one year away from a

tennis playing robot I'm going to get

one well we've been hearing for years

that geothermal energy could be the big

thing but it never is so geothermal is

basically a two or three mile hole in

the ground where if you go deep enough

the Earth is super hot the waterers down

there is super hot and you can use that

super hot water to create energy or warm

your house or whatever but it's very

expensive to drill a two mile deep Pole

or three miles uh however turns out that

at least one company forvo energy is

it's a Texas um startup or upstart they

call it an upstar I don't know maybe

it's been around a while but uh they're

using

fracking so the analogy was made that uh

in the oil business when the idea of

fracking first came up everybody said

that'll never work you crazy Bastard

with your fracking get out of here but

apparently there was one entrepreneur

who made fracking practical and then

once it was practical everybody had to

run and get some but the same thing's

happening with geothermal there's a

fracking like technology

that's being employed that if it works

could be a complete GameChanger for

thermal energy and unlike oil where you

have to be in a certain place to you

know get it you could put a hole in the

ground in a lot more places so a hole in

the ground as your energy source it's

just the cost of the hole and they may

have done they may be on the verge of

having this enormous economic

breakthrough in building a hole

and using fracking to to in some way

anyway there's a saw the announcement

that a uh company called Bots

Inc and what do they do they make uh

Bots I guess blockchain and Robotics

technology so the Robotics and

blockchain I don't know what the

blockchain has to do with the robotics

but uh they announced that they're going

to use grock as their

president so rather than having a human

president they're going to use AI and

they chose

grock now do you know what the hidden

secret story behind this story

is I'm pretty sure I might be wrong but

I'm pretty sure this is the company that

had one time announced that they were

going to build their robots or their Ai

and the robot was going to be based on

my

personality like literally they named me

uh because I had said publicly anybody

who wants to you know use my personality

for a it' be a good idea and you have

full rights so they had actually planned

to do that and they were going to make

their their robot basically my

personality now after I got cancelled

I'm pretty sure they changed those plans

because they don't talk about that

anymore and I don't blame them but they

do say that their robots going to be a

sort of a casual funny robot and I say

to myself I wonder if the only only

thing they changed about my personality

was my voice because all you'd have to

do is change my voice and nobody nobody

would recognize it as anybody's specific

personality but it would still have

one so I have some curiosity and by the

way it's completely authorized if they

want to use my personality and put it in

the robot and not not give me credit in

any way totally okay I'm okay with that

so we'll see

there's a study written about in Sai

post that says at least with mice if the

grandfather mouse works out and then

there's two generations of mouse mouses

mice that follow that the grandchild

Mouse will have better cognitive

abilities because the grandfather worked

out so the more exercise the grandfather

mouse got at as each generation was born

the the grandchild generation was cogn

cognitively

Superior uh in much the way that the

grandparent became by exercising because

exercise is good for your cognition I

guess now suppose I got replicated in

humans where you would know that if you

exercised efficiently your grandkids

would be smarter and more

successful it's not confirmed Med with

humans but if it worked in

mice there's a good chance there's a

good chance and to me this uh if it's

true it raises the possibility that one

of the weirdest things I've ever thought

about Evolution might be true this is

just for fun by the way so you don't

need to you don't need to jump on me for

my lack of scientific understanding this

is just for fun I'm not trying to change

anybody's minds but I've always said to

myself if evolution is indeed the

explanation of how we got here and if

we're a simulation it's not but uh if it

is I've never quite bought the fact that

you could get all the way here with

nothing

but um the survivors you know the

survivors have qualities that get passed

on it didn't seem like enough I

obviously it's part of it it would

certainly be part of it might be most of

it but I always had this

assumption that what what you want the

most when you're alive might get passed

down to your children and actually might

Express itself eventually

genetically so if you can do something

as in your lifetime that changes the

permanent I don't know if it's genetic

or chemical structure of a

grandchild that would suggest that what

you wanted

creates evolution in other words your

mental state would be The Driver of your

Evolution because you'd want to be

healthy so you would exercise and that

wanting for yourself to be healthy gets

passed down to the Next Generation so in

a sense you could say well it's the

exercise that caused the grandkids to be

smarter but you don't exercise unless

you decided to and you said I would be a

better creature whether I'm a better

mouse or a better human if I exercised

so your desire to

exercise could get translated into your

actions which get translated into

changing the I don't know if it's

genetic or just chemical structure of

the grandkids so it's just kind of

interesting that maybe you can will your

way into evolution in some special

cases just for fun that was all right

United Airlines is going to add starlink

Wi-Fi to all its planes might be the end

of 2025 when they have it done have you

have any of you had this uh experience

where you take a long flight over water

where they don't typically have Wi-Fi

and you think to

yourself I'm in the air in this device

and I'm in the oldest technology

possible the plan's 30 years old and it

doesn't have Wi-Fi because it's over the

ocean it just feels so

barbaric and if I were going to um if I

were going to buy stock in estate I

would buy stock in Hawaii because if you

fly from the west coast to Hawaii you

spend five or six hours without

Wi-Fi which is crazy in today's modern

world but if you gave me Wi-Fi I

wouldn't even mind the 5-Hour flight I

just get some work done and I'd

entertain myself and it'd be great so my

my uh say my enthusiasm to visit Hawaii

would go

up

30% by taking the pain of the flight

away that's a pretty big change in my

mind maybe you too I have a theory about

the pyramids you want to hear it I

watched a show on YouTube I don't know

if any of it's true but apparently

there's some pottery from the ancient

Egyptians that could not have been made

by ancient Egyptians because the ancient

Egyptian tools were softer than the pop

and the pots were made to machine

Precision Way Beyond anything that any

ancient could have made and some of the

thinking is that the ancient Egyptians

didn't make them that they just still

had them and that there was some of the

pottery was made with rocks that are so

hard that they would last basically

forever and so they just had them from

some previous civilization there was

just left over from another civilization

that knew how to make them

and apparently the pottery from Egypt

got less

Advanced uh every

year which would suggest and you you've

probably heard lots of speculation about

this that the pyramids were not built by

the

Egyptians just like the pottery might

not have been built by the Egyptians but

rather the Egyptians may have inherited

you know this leftover stuff from some

Advanced civilization so now I'm going

to give you my theory about why the

pyramids exist and I don't know if

you've heard this one it's just

speculation it's yeah it's not based on

much so here's my hypothesis I put

myself in the place of the early

civilization so let's say you were an

advanced civilization but you were

isolated and the rest of the world were

barbarians and you also knew that your

time was limited could be that I don't

know maybe you had some disease that was

killing you all maybe The Barbarians

were outnumbering you and even with your

advanced technology you knew you

couldn't hold them off you're going to

get destroyed so you reached a point in

your in your civilization where you knew

you couldn't last but you wanted to tell

future Generations forever that you had

once been

great so you build a structure that

can't be missed will never be buried in

sand cannot be destroyed by floods or

water and will will be there in 10,000

years so you build a pyramid the most

sturdy structure you could ever imagine

building because the wind can't blow it

over hurricanes can't hurt it probably

water if the Sphinx was there before

the hold

on weird I I have a video queued up that

just start itself for no

reason anyway um so my theory is that

the ancient Advanced civilization wanted

wanted to not be forgotten so they build

something that would Outlast

them I just throw throw that in the

minut uh X is shutting down its a

headquarters in San Francisco which used

to be the headquarters of Twitter and uh

Elon mus not so happy with California

and is done that building is now or or

at least the people the business part of

it is of San

Francisco um Brazil do you remember it

froze the assets of starlink because it

was mad at X they those two companies

are not related except that musk owns

both they were trying to punish X and to

do that they froze the assets of

Starling in Brazil uh but they released

the assets of starlink after they stole

$3.3 million which was owed by the other

company so they they find X for what

they claim to be you know information

related stuff guess and uh but they took

the money from a completely different

company

Brazil what the hell is wrong with

you I you've become I don't even know

what Brazil is anymore is it just some

weird third world dictator

country that's not even trying to be you

know the play fair with the rest of the

world so improve your game

Brazil um Trump was in h Nevada and he

told them of his idea to make federal

land available to build Hollywood like

studios in Nevada to put the real

Hollywood in California on a business

now I love that idea I I don't know if

I'd put odds on it happening but if he

did make uh land available he would make

a federal land available for that as

well as his idea of building futuristic

cities which I still think is among the

best ideas of all time it's not just one

of the best Trump ideas it's just one of

the best ideas that you've ever seen in

of politics so I could not be more

positive about that but moving the movie

studios make so much sense for the

Republicans because maybe if you move it

to Nevada you're not going to get a

bunch of woke people making garbage and

maybe they make something that people

want to

see meanwhile Oracle which believe it or

not still has business in

California uh it got permits to build

three small nuclear

reactors to power its gigantic AI data

center so he wants to build the kind

that the Navy uses the Navy already

knows how to make them in put in

submarines the thinking is it would be a

lot cheaper if you were not constrained

to put them in a submarine because if

you put in a submarine they make it

small and probably has to have submarine

specific capabilities I don't know what

that would be but if you don't have

those limitations of putting it on a

submarine you might be able to build

these fairly easily if you get

California to improve it you have the

permits but I think that's short of all

the approval they would need to complete

this but imagine if that

works because we we think of nuclear

energy in terms of there's going to be

this big project and they're going to

build it for your city and I don't know

who owns it but basically it's almost

it's a a utility kind of situation then

you have Larry Ellison who needs way

more electricity than California can get

him so he's like well how do how about I

just build my own nuclear power

plants who does

that billionaires you know here's the

thing I've said this before

but the

billionaires have a value in the United

States that nobody else would ever

satisfy meaning that and Elon Musk can

simply use his own money to do something

that the government can't get done but

the citizens won't done Larry Ellison is

using his company's money build nuclear

power plants which if this works pretty

much would open up that entire Market to

every other big company that wanted to

build their own power plant he just has

to make it work and it's existing

technology so there's not much chance it

won't work you if he can make it

economical and that's that's a big

question but it'll work because it's

existing technology so yes I'm very in

favor of the billionaires moving

civilization forward when they have some

special Niche

this you know Matt Walsh has his new

movie out it's not getting you know

mainstream advertisements it's called

miir racist now I've always seen clips

from it and it looks hilarious and it

looks it looks like it's a good addition

to the uh let's say the conversation I

hate to use that but it's it's a good

addition to the

media like it or not it's just needed it

needed to be done it has its place so

Robin D'Angelo the author who write

wrote I believe it was white

fragility which was a you know sort of a

landmark work in terms of creating

wokeness she issued a statement

denouncing the film and uh Matt Walsh

wanted us to know she denounced it and

she claims according to Matt that the

movie is quote designed to humiliate

discredit anti-racist Educators and

activists and as Walsh says she couldn't

be more correct in that assessment thank

you

Robin yeah that's the point of it the

point of it is to humiliate and

discredit the people that he thinks

should be humiliated and should be

discredited and I

agree

agree so got some good publicity there

from Robin

well through the vote the voting

Integrity organization Checker um has

announced that they somehow have figured

out how to monitor over 25

million just hold that number in your

head 25

million ineligible names on voter roles

across the

country let me say that again according

to tr the vote who apparently has done a

lot of work they claimed that there are

255 million people across all the states

that are not eligible to vote you know

they died or they moved or they're

illegal non residents or something um

and they say that they will engage law

enforcement and litigation Partners if

any them vote so basically putting out

the threat that if any anyone's tempted

to vote to these illegal names I guess I

would include somebody pretending to be

and filling out a ballot for an illegal

name but uh they're going to go after

them they're going to get litigation

partners and go after them now I like

putting that thread out there I don't

know if they can really

detect what they need to detect and make

something of it but actually how would

they detect that how how would the

outside

organization know who voted by name and

address is that knowable or would you

have to

I don't know do some kind of Foya or

lawsuit to get the information is the

information even available I have lots

of questions I like I like the general

thrust of this that somebody who's

monitoring true the vote is monitoring

the ineligible names and that they're

going to get tough about it I don't

know that that they can know for sure if

somebody voted from one of those lists I

don't know how you would know that so

that's the problem if if we can easily

know that an ineligible person

voted um wouldn't that allow us to stop

them I've Got a Feeling maybe it's not

so easy to know if they voted we'll

see uh meanwhile there's somebody i'

never heard of but I guess he's the

travel writer and television host named

Rick Steves and somehow he made news

despite me not knowing who he is by

endorsing here

and uh in a little video he released he

explained why he endorses her he argued

that the world doesn't need the quote

chaos of trumping the White House the

chaos he's

opposed the chaos of

trump where's the Chaos come from do you

think where's all that

chaos 100% of it is coming from the

Democrats so the Democrats create the

chaos and then they say well you can't

vote for this guy because of all the

chaos that they

created what what chaos has TR created

all on his

own I can't think of anything because

his supporters don't find any of it

chaotic some of it's you know let's say

less than perfect but why would you call

that

chaos every Administration does things

that of us think are less than

perfect so

um anyway that chaos thing is sort of a

red flag for brainwashing in my opinion

I don't believe you could get to a

reasonable opinion that chaos is your

big problem like you wouldn't put it at

the top of the list well you know when I

look at uh I look at climate change and

I look at the national deficit and I

look at immigration and the open borders

when I look at Ukraine and the trouble

in the Middle East the thing that I

think of first is all that

chaos that's not a real

opinion nobody sits down and said all

right well let's look at the risks and

rewards of each of these situations and

yep yep when I've looked at all the

risks and rewards I'm against the

chaos chaos isn't even a real thing not

only is it not a real thing it's not

even coming from Trump is literally

coming from his team so if he wants less

chaos why doesn't he tell his own team

to shut

the heck up somebody said a 12-year-old

is watching today so I pulled

back all

right how would you like some

optimism is anybody up for some

optimism I got a little for you it might

be really good you might like it you

ready get ready optimism in

coming there is something

happening that I think you can

feel there has been an explosion of

creativity around this they're eating

the dogs theme you know from the

something that Trump said at the debate

and you've probably seen it and you've

probably seen multiple videos of people

putting it to music and dancing to it

and it's it's viral all over the place

and I've never seen such a surge of

creativity that is at such a high level

and you could add to that the stuff

coming out of Nicole Shanahan's

operation she's released yet another

amazing video and I say amazing because

you just look at the the thinking and

the quality and the the note they're

trying to hit and just the production

and it's amazing it's called her video

is who really are the magga people and

it's this fictional story of some with

the British sounding accent I think

British who does like a it's like a fake

documentary you know it's for fun but

they show ordinary mag of people just

hanging out with their kids and going to

work in their trucks and stuff and they

all just look like good

people and the the point of it is that

you know this person who came to examine

these dangerous magga people found out

oh wait they're all really nice to hang

out with why are they all kind to me

what why do they have this code of

ethics and everything seems like if you

just left them alone we'd all be fine so

it was brilliant you have to see it my

description of it doesn't doesn't really

sell it but so that's brilliant and it's

you know one of several she's done that

are all brilliant who whoever she's got

working on

these and then a whole Avalanche of

these Trump saying save the dogs you

know they're EA they're eating the dogs

they're eating the cats and the the

level of creativity that got Unleashed

and the specific way it was employed

makes me feel

this uh think of trump as an energy

monster somebody who generates

tremendous amount of energy but think

about this he's been storing that energ

like a battery not in himself he's been

storing it in his base and his

supporters he's created this immense

amount of energy some of it he uses

himself and some of it he uses his tens

of millions of supporters like a storage

system it's like a battery now if you

watch the debate as I did I originally

scored it as Harris's Victory because it

looked like a tie which which in the

case in this case would look like a

victory for her so I said publicly she

won the

debate and it felt to the world a lot of

us like even if you thought he won the

debate it wasn't by much and it wasn't

as good as you liked and it just felt

like I hate to say

it he didn't have the goods like he was

just a little short that night now I

don't think it's necessarily his fault

although a few things I think he could

have done better I I think it had to do

with the setup and you know Harris is

actually good when she's doing memorized

pieces that's pretty much the whole

story you know the the ABC host plus the

fact she could just do memorized

pieces but many people who support Trump

felt like he didn't get across the line

that there was something he needed to

accomplish and it was very

important and he didn't get there so

what' they do did they change their mind

say I'm not going to

vote no they didn't did they say I'm

going to vote for Harris she had a good

C she had a good debate no they didn't

but they had all this energy that he's

been storing in him for so long and all

of the sudden it all came out and here's

what it looks like to

me I don't know if you can feel it yet

but I can feel it

his base has

decided that they don't want Trump to

win they've decided they don't want him

to

win they've decided they're going to

make him

win it's a decision

now everything changes when it's a

decision we are out of the preference

stage now tens of millions of people

just said if you can't do it we're going

to drag You' we're going to drag him

across the finish

line and you can feel that now this is

about Trump of

course but the energy that he's been

storing for years in his base just got

Unleashed in the weirdest way with this

you know all the memes about the cats

and the dogs but they're all just

wonderful and I'm going to publicly I

did this on act yesterday but I'm going

to change my scoring of the

debate because the debate when you score

it as it happens and immediately after

you're using short-term

memory short-term memory is what did

this person say how did you answer this

question did you avoid this question did

you say a lie you know was it did we

fact check you that's all short-term

memory short-term memory doesn't move

anything it it is valid to score a

debate

based on your short-term memory so if

you were doing let's say a college

debate you wouldn't wait two weeks you

would score it right then using your

short-term memory but if there's

something I learned from my friend and

memory expert Carmen Simon Dr Carmen

Simon in her books is that your

long-term memory is the one you want to

influence the long-term memory is is a

signal that you actually changed

something changed if you see something

that makes you feel a certain way in the

short term and you don't even remember

it two weeks later nothing happened it

was like it didn't happen so I ask you

now the debate's been over for a little

while not very long what do you remember

about

it you remember that Trump who doesn't

even own a dog or a

cat tried to defend yours your dog and

your cat who you love more than people

in some

cases now the the memes that pair him

with the cute little animals could not

be better better

persuasion because it takes the biggest

complaint about him that he's a selfish

mean cares about only himself dictator

bastard well if you see enough pictures

of him saving your pets not his own he

doesn't have any

and and by the way the memes aren't real

it's just pictures of him you know with

two lovable pets under each arm you know

running from haian gangs and stuff you

cannot be unaffected by that and it's

not a surprise that it's becoming a huge

meme the memes probably are breaking

through on Tik Tock and some other

places to get to

Democrats Association is one of the

major rules of

persuasion if you associate with I'm

seeing now pictures going by the memes

of him with dogs and cats and they're

all adorable I love every one of them

but Association is one of the main

levers of persuasion and without Trump

doing that

intentionally his base with all the

energy that he put there over the years

decided they were going to use that

energy to pair him with cats and dogs

lovable beautiful wonderful cats and

dogs and I can't even imagine a better

persuasive wave than that Association

now here's the opposite type uh today

the news is going after uh Laura lumer

for having been on Trump's jet when he

went to the debate now what they're

trying to do is they're saying we're

going to associate you with Laura lumer

so that whatever bad feelings we can

make about her we can extend that to you

oh o why were you hanging out with this

person who said these things now we

don't none of us have to agree with

anything that Laura lumer has said but I

love the fact that Trump is a pirate

ship and if you can help him and you're

all on board he doesn't have to agree

with everything you've ever done in your

life but can you help the country and

that's where Laura lummer is at she's

definitely working as hard as she can to

help the campaign

win we don't agree with everything she

has ever said I don't believe that Trump

agrees with everything that JD Vance has

ever said I don't believe he agrees with

everything that Vu has ever said

although they're pretty

close I don't believe he agrees with

everything that Kennedy said not

everything but uh can you work with them

yes this is the America I want if you're

telling me that you don't like that uh

he that Trump is okay with Laura lumer

being on his pirate ship my response to

you is do you not understand what a

pirate ship is do you think the Pirates

are judging each

other no no they have a mission the

Pirates are trying to get something

done and that's the mission so if you're

going to worry about the associations

you go worry about that the Pirates are

going to load the Cannons and get

something done so so I've always loved

that about Trump that that he can say if

you're on my team then bring the things

that are good and we'll work with that

if there's stuff I don't like well

that's sort of your

issue it's not for me to solve it why

can't you live in a country where

everybody's different and sometimes you

like it and sometimes you don't that's

the America I want to live in I I I

don't care that my neighbor dis I mean

take my neighborhood do you think they

all agree with me on politics no do I

love my neighbors they're awesome I got

the greatest neighbors I'm so lucky

that's true I just have amazing

neighbors uh but none of us are worried

about who agrees with anybody about

politics we don't talk about it it's

just not a thing it's is not

important so that's what I love about

the pirate ship but the more important

thing is that uh this huge wave of

craved energy has been Unleashed and in

my opinion the base has decided that

they're going to make him win if he

falters we're going to pick him up if he

trips we're going to make up the

distance if he needs to be dragged we're

going to drag

him and I think that's a decision now

and it feels different than just wanting

it well have you seen um the uh

debunk um website

so I've decided that uh just just to

finish up on that so my my current view

is that uh Trump completely won the

debate because somehow in his Trump way

he found that one issue that you can't

get out of your head and it has some

value to

him and two weeks later I got don't

remember a thing that Harris said

nothing I don't remember a thing I just

remember the dog thing now if you said

but Scott remember this thing yes yes if

you reminded me of the thing I would say

oh okay I do remember that and you could

do that 50 times and say but you

remember she said this I'd say oh okay

yeah she did but that's back of

Mind back of mind isn't the good stuff

front of Mind long term front of mind

and long term that's the gold standard

of persuasion and he's hit the gold

standard

and it's it's just a huge

Victory I I could not have been more

wrong when I scored it as a tie that

goes to Harris because I was using

short-term

memory and none of that matters none of

it

matters

anyway

um we got a lots more fun

here have you seen have you seen the uh

the video where somebody used AI to

alter kamla Harris's face at one of her

rallies so it's the audio the actual

audio of her saying the actual things

she really said the rally and the only

thing they did was change your face to

look like she'd been using meth for 30

years in a row you know how meth people

look with the mouth and the teeth and

the you know distorted faces and you see

it and it's the funniest thing in the

world and the thing that's funny about

it is that the meth

face perfectly matches the

messages so you're not really laughing

because the face is funny although it's

hilarious you're laughing because the

funny face and looking like a a drunken

meth adic perfectly matches the audio of

her talking to her base now you have to

see that one it's it's in my X feed you

got to see this one it will just make

you cry with laughter it's so perfect uh

and again that's another example of the

the creative burst that's coming

out anyway remember I told you about the

Trump a hoax overload strategy that the

Democrats are using and um somebody

asked just in the pre-show somebody said

do you think that uh kamla knows that

the fine people hoax is a hoax of course

he does yeah I guarantee it yeah there's

there's no there's no chance they don't

know that they're doing massive hoaxes

one after another no it's a strategy

it's a very clear strategy to overload

the right so that they're just talking

about the

hoaxes because remember

Association if I say no I

didn't eat a

hobo well you're automatically going to

pair me with the idea of eating a hobo

even if the point was I didn't eat the

hobo because that's another person rule

right your negatives don't register just

the image does so anyway so the Trump HX

overload strategy that kamla Harris's

campaign is using is really really good

so if you're just looking at does it

work and is it brilliant it works and

it's

brilliant you know I'm not even going to

shade that it works and it's brilliant

so this is the first time I can remember

and but you know I'm not an expert in

politics I've never seen two campaigns

that were this

good and when I say good I don't mean

honest I mean they know their job they

know persuasion they know what buttons

to push the Harris campaign is freaking

good you with what they have to work

with if you look with what what they

have to work with and the fact that

they're a

tie they're just so good but as I've

said before I think Trump's campaign

advisors are extraordinary and I think

that his campaign has been extraordinary

as well so I wouldn't put one of them

ahead of the other they're both A+ I've

never seen this before you know we got

we only have one candidate who's worth a

dam but the

campaigns really good that that's my

persuasion

rating anyway so I suggested that the

antidote to the hoax overload strategy

would be a website of debunks so that

somebody like Trump and any of his

supporters if challenged with any of

these hoaxes can say not that the hoax

is fake because that doesn't buy you

anything you say let me teach you how

these hoaxes are

created go to the site

American debunk tocom so it's American

with the n on America American debunk

that's all you have to remember and I'm

going to ask you all this memorize that

say say it a few times in your head

American debunk American debunk domcom I

want you to be able to produce that in a

conversation and say you know you're

going to be amazed when you find out how

they did that hoax and then the Democrat

you're talking to will say that's no

hoax and you say do me a favor go to

American debunk dcom and you'll see what

Republicans are seeing you don't have to

believe it I won't try to change your

mind but I want you to see what the

Republicans see that you don't get to

see it's very short they're very very

small segments of what the hoax is I

call it a hoax you think is real but it

also show you how the hoax was

created it's the how it was created

that's the magic sauce I'll say this as

many times as I need to it is not

anything to debunk a hoax by you nothing

nothing you have to show how it was done

that's the thinking past the sale if you

can do that you can change Minds now

somebody said to me nobody's going to

change their vote because the find

people hoax and finding out about it yes

they will we have multiple public

examples where people on X you know

notable people you know people whose

names you've heard in public say you

know when I saw that that find people

hoax was a hoax it just opened up it was

like the key to open the door to all the

fake news and then then I switch sides

so yes that will change

votes so American debunk decom I don't

know who's behind it by the way but I

did see some of my influence in the

writing so it's

somebody could be somebody watching

right now I don't know but if you want

to take credit for for it I would love

to give it to you

um Mark cubin asked a

question oh you know

what I want to show

you there there's a new interview with

Kell Harris and uh I first saw it when

uh investor Bill Amman was pointing to

it on X and his comment made me so

curious he just he just pointed to the

video of the interview it's with some

local um news station

and and uh I'm paraphrasing but he

basically said uh just watch this and

make up your own mind who you're voting

for and I thought why why would you not

want to put your opinion on

it and then I watched

it oh my

God I'm going to play it for you if my

technology works

here so my plan is that if I push this

button

you're going to see me in the corner and

then you're going to see her and then if

I push this I can play

it and I'm GNA turn on my

sound Madam vice president pleasure to

meet you thanks for your time today our

audience appreciates your time as of

course as you know we're sitting here in

a state and arguably in front of an

audience that 54 days from now could

decide he question too long I'm not

gonna play the whole inter you hear it

more than I do people want to know more

about you and about your specific plans

at the debate the other night you talked

about creating an opportunity

economy talk about bringing down prices

and making life more affordable for

people what are one or two specific

things you have in mind for watch the

specifics well I'll start with this um I

grew up a middle class kid my mother

raised my sister and me she worked very

hard um she was able to finally save up

enough money to buy our first house when

I was a

teenager um I grew up in a community of

hardworking people you know construction

workers and nurses and teachers and I

try to explain to some people who may

not have had the same experience you

know if but a lot of people will relate

to this you know I grew up in a

neighborhood of folks who were very

proud of their

lawn you

know and um and I was raised to believe

and to know that all people deserve

dignity and that we as Americans have a

beautiful character you know we have

Ambitions and aspirations and dreams but

not everyone necessarily has access to

the resources that can help them fuel

those dreams and Ambitions so when I

talk about building an opportunity

economy it is very much with the mind of

invest ing in the Ambitions and

aspirations and the and the incredible

work ethic of the American people and

creating opportunity for people for

example to start a small

business um my mother you know worked

long hours and our neighbor helped raise

us we used to call her was I still call

her our second mother she was a small

business owner she was I love our small

business owners I learned who they are

from my childhood and she was a a

community leader she hired locally she

mentored toward our small businesses are

so much a part of the fabric of our

communities not to mention really I

think the backbone of America's economy

so my opportunity economy plan includes

giving startups a $50,000 tax

deduction to start their small business

it used to be $55,000 nobody can start a

small business with

$5,000 but investing in people's

innovative ideas and giving them the

ability to go for it

um opportunity econ economy what assault

weapons do to the human body honest with

you I think people congress former

Congress member Liz

Channing all

right you could watch it if you can

stand it

but

she's really really

bad at

talking she's really really really

really really bad at talking I've never

seen anything like this honestly when I

watched it the first time I was trying

to figure out is she

drunk does she have a mental problem

because it might be

that it I mean it looks like she's

working through some kind of mental

distress now she didn't look

drunk but could there be some other pill

that you take that makes your face

exaggerate like that like why does there

a face gets so exaggerated I feel like I

feel like somebody who knew drugs more

than I do you know the good stuff might

be able to identify that is that like a

cocaine

face is there is there a specific drug

that would make you

gesticulate and you know move and your

face would be more

animated CU I I don't spend time around

cocaine people so but I'm so I'm just

guessing

would that be a possibility because

whatever's whatever's happening here I

don't spend any time listening to what

she's saying and I spend the whole time

thinking what's wrong with her you know

what I

mean do you have the same feeling like

all of my curiosity is what's wrong with

her like why why is she acting that

way never seen anything like it remember

when I told you that I'll give you some

optimism

today they either have to hide her until

election day which will be pretty big

tell that she can't do the job or

they're going to let her do this again

and her side is going to see what

they're looking

at I don't know how she could possibly

win it's hard for me to imagine that she

could possibly win if they see her in

public answering any questions at all

um and I saw let's see Mike cernovich

suggested uh that instead of a debate

Harish should have a a spaces event and

it could be uh handled with hosts uh

like David Sachs and he suggested Mark

cubin so imagine David Sachs prot Trump

and Mark Cuban Pro Harris uh being the

moderators and then Mike covich

suggested that they pick some third

person randomly um which I'd love that

to be

me no I wouldn't want to do it but

uh that's a good idea but speaking of uh

Mark

cubin Mark cubin has been uh I don't

want to say

trolling but he's been asking

provocative questions of uh Trump

supporters so they can argue with him in

public or embarrass him in public I

don't know exactly what he's thinking so

uh I'll warn you not to make the mistake

that I almost made right there if you're

trying to guess what Mark cubin is

thinking or or what his motivation is I

don't know that that's anything you can

do uh because he's a complicated smart

guy who knows

what his exact motivation is other than

getting haris selected of course but in

any given

exchange if you're trying to guess is he

being serious or is he trolling us you

know does he is he really does he really

need to know the answer to this it kind

of doesn't matter because we'll never

know what his inner inner thoughts are

but we're dealing with the world in

which it exists so he asked this

question which I thought was actually a

really good question he said an asks for

all supporters of the Republican nominee

What specifically Will trump do to lower

Grocery and other prices and he says I'm

curious now he states that he's

curious that sounds actually true to me

I think he actually is curious so I took

a shot at answering that question and

let me tell you what I said uh so here's

the answer to how would Trump lower

prices number one fewer government

regulations

which should increase Supply which

should increase or decrease prices in

the long run um I said if but there's a

but to this if uh if Trump works with

Kennedy RFK Jr and he uncovers these bad

food

practices you might find that food

prices would go up in the short run if

something gets banned so for example if

there's a ferti this is just an example

I don't know if any this is true but if

there's some fertilizer I'll just pick

you know I'm making up a fiction

fictional example and we decide it's bad

for the health of the people who eat the

food that was fertilized with it if it

gets

banned they might be able to make less

food or they might pay more for the

fertilizer so you can see the the costs

going up in the short run so to be fair

there's at least one thing that Trump

plans to do that has a direct probably

upward pressure on prices

however if you were to get the unhealthy

stuff out of the food supply suddenly

your health care costs go down and maybe

by a lot so it would look more like an

investment if it did make food more

expensive in the short run which would

be a problem definitely be a problem but

it could have the Far Far bigger

economic benefit of reducing all of our

chronic illnesses that would be the that

would be the goal of it next if if Elon

Musk helps Trump reduce the government's

spending that should reduce inflation

and that should make your uh cost not

Rise um I like to give Trump credit for

what you might call his salesmanship or

his BS uh because it drives investment

I've described this before but if

investors are confident then they invest

and that creates good things if they're

not confident they don't Trump has that

salesperson you know go go go capitalism

feeling that makes people think huh it

doesn't look like he's going to give me

more regulations it doesn't make doesn't

look like he's going to make anything

worse um I'm going to go invest some

money this is looking good so his his

salesmanship story on the economy is way

better than Harris's which is you know

Marxist uh at least has the scent of

Marxism on it

which is way less

inspiring I said that uh Trump's tax

plans compared to Harris should give

companies some room um more room to

lower prices if uh if taxes go up on

corporations they have less margin you

know less room to uh to lower the prices

Trump would at least not raise their

prices he might not lower them it might

not Trump might not lower anybody's

taxes but Harris would would raise them

for sure so that would make food more

expensive and

everything um Trump is more likely to

approve I'm going to say larger energy

projects I do think the uh Biden

Administration has done better than the

Republicans um blame them for in in

energy they haven't been terrible

they've been good on nuclear could be

better and they've been reasonably good

on drilling could be a lot better you

know I mean we haven't we haven't

drilled on war there's a pipeline

question you know I'm sure there's a

permit issue so it does seem to me that

Trump could probably um end up approving

larger energy projects which lower

everybody's costs for everything because

it's energy um I said that Trump would

waste less money on climate and wars and

that goes to lowering inflation too I

said that Trump is more suited to

protect our Global Supply Chain

so you know a lot of things are more

expensive because the ships don't want

to go anywhere near the hoties in Yemen

because they're using their missiles on

the ships so if somebody could say hey

hoodies I got a deal for you if you

shoot one more missile we're going to

get rid of every single one of

you sorry I couldn't go the whole day

without swearing and whether not that's

true even the hoodies are going to say

oh well that looks serious

because he might actually do it you just

don't know so he's far scarier and

that's got to be good if you're trying

to scare people like the hoodies from

shooting your

ships um so I think he's more suited to

protect the global Supply chains but in

summary it's just better for the economy

in general and that should help your

prices so that was my

answer um people are still saying hey

how about a debate of some kind there's

not going to be any new

debate and here's the simple reason why

Trump would be crazy to agree to another

debate on a on a network that is not in

his favor so the only one I think he

would ever agree to would be you know

Fox News or news max or Tucker Carlson

or something like that and there's no

way that Harris is going to agree to

that so you can stop even thinking about

another debate I mean Trump said he's

not going to have

one uh but really that means he would

have one if it were the right host I

think if if it were the right host on

foxy do it well let me put it this way

if uh if Fox News said uh our hosts will

be uh Dana Pino and Greg geld would

would Trump do a

debate probably probably yes would

Harris do it not a chance so there is no

way that those two ven diagrams are ever

going to intersect so debate is done

there will not be a debate I guarantee

it you got all you're going to

get

um and that ladies and gentlemen brings

me to the close of my prepared

remarks I think it was one of the best

shows you've ever seen probably getting

better every minute and uh I'm going to

say a few words to the uh local

subscribers because they're special and

thanks to all the people on X and

YouTube and Rumble it's always a

pleasure to see you I'll see you again

tomorrow morning same place and in 30

seconds or so we're going to go private

with the locals subscribers only by the

way there's a lot of good stuff on

locals that you've never seen if you're

not a
