As it is, do do do do do do do do good morning, everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called coffee with Scott Adams and, if you'd like to leave the only way you can do it is by pulling the fire alarm. But if you'd like to stay and elevate your experience to levels that can only be considered infinite or possibly galactic. All you need is a couple of Margaret glass. Take your trousers diet again to georgia, flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid, like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, as the dope amnesia the day. The thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous zeppa happens now go.

Well. Some of you may have noticed and about half way off prisoner island. So we'll talk about that little while, but other funds are first, I keep quoting the silver disease having some fun conversations about was real and one is in real and on the x platform and I think he finally reached his limit, because you know he was sort of a was a respectable member of the you know the smart people, and he sends this post actually on some level is kind of amazing how well society functions despite people believing a lot of superdome and fucked up ship Are you ever amazed by the factors? Civilization works in all just filled with areas still works.

Well, I would say there are two reasons for this number. One reason is that the economy is a failure engine, so most things that people do in economics fail. They start businesses that don't work and their businesses that do work are introducing new products, product lines that fail mostly mostly failing. So we we have developed a system that everybody does well. If ninety percent of us fail and ten percent of a succeed. and there's enough, because even when you're failing, you still get a paycheck most of the time so failures, actually the it's almost the operating system of why everything works is just full of fail

which is another way to say that nature rewards action. Nature rewards action. So if you don't know what to do just do something, so that's probably the best advice you'll ever get. If you don't know what to do, do something cause nature. words, action and energy. The other thing I would note is that it only takes a few smart people to allow everybody else to live comfortably, So you don't need to too many geniuses. The rest of us need to just make sure we don't litter too badly and don't stab too many people. Everything else seems to work out alright mega the company meta, which you might think of. As

sport is floating a plan to charge people, at least in the EU fourteen dollars a month to have an ad free version of instagram or facebook now. I don't know how to work out, but I would make the following point: civilization can no longer depend on advertising for your information. If you want your information to be accurate and available to people, it cannot, It cannot depend on advertising, because advertisers have a very narrow band of what's allowable, whereas free speech is a white band. By definition, So if you limit all of your speech in truth to you, this little narrow band, that's bad news. So anything that gets us away from ad supported.

Anything is good, so I'm no longer had supported. Well, yes, I am in a mile away on youtube. I am so I guess I d do bum add supported, but I believe it's obvious that youtube is suppressing me cause my! U to traffickers stayed largely the same three years, which is pretty much impossible. I think pretty much also. While everything else has gone up so I'll be looking into alternatives for youtube. But technically sometimes that's difficult or one of the things I'm thinking of doing is just discontinuing youtube altogether, and just do it on rumble takes a little more technology to do that. So that's why I've been putting that off but will say I haven't made any decisions yet, but we have to get away from ad supported everything you do MIKE bedrooms. I keep mentioning

the experts for music, often doing little videos and tweet threads in which is exposing the powers that be typically the intelligence operations. There were behind the things you see and I've never had such a clean look into reality than I do, and I observe

his stuff, but he tweeted this yesterday. Just you know how dangerous it is he he said they have to kill me because I'm spilling their secrets. Here's how it'll go I'll, keep in mind. There's other predictions have been spookily accurate and he's predicting his own demise and he's serious. He says first they'll flood with hit pieces on bullshit rhetoric grounds. I think that already started. I think, there's already a hit piece about him. At least one then they'll flood with lawsuits on bullshit tort grounds, so they'll use lawfare to break him. Then they'll flood with charges on bullshit crumbling criminal grounds and they says bookmark this, so he believes he'll be taken out by fake criminal charges. What do you think.

I think, that's very possible- and I like that, he's calling it out in advance, so we can watch it as it happens. So we'll see, and so it's something that Sarah fisher put together on the x platform, which the social media is just just drawing normal news, so the clicks they used to come from social media and divert people over to regular news platforms. It just collapsed, so neither the meadow platform nor the ex platform are sending much of any traffic to the major media, so whereas you might have seen a lot of clicks from social media to see them now. You see very few now here ears, like a sign of the times. Every morning, literally everyone

seven days a week even on holidays. I get up in the morning and I checked the news so that I can do live stream in which I talk about. What's happened a number of times lately the same last month, I have completely prepared my life's, we notes and notes and doubts about the news without ever looking at a new site. Sometimes I don't even level leave they exploit form because at least there you ve got stuff, I care about people know what to send the you know get tagged and things, and usually it's a summary of the news stories. I don't necessarily have to go see the story. I usually do if there's a link, but last time so it'll have to, and I realize that the news on cnn is all

it's garbage and I don't even believe that cnn or fox are paying anybody to do any reporting anymore, have writers who are writing things that they see on tv. That's what it looks like. So I think that the economic model of the news is so degraded at this point that they can't that it feels like they're pretending to be news without actually being news. So, for example, we'll talk about this in a minute I'll, actually talk about the next cnn as a long piece to fill up a lot of real estate and their so called news page about. I guess: jake tapper wrote this and it's the exclusive john kelly. So this he was the chief of staff under trump

General. It goes on the record to confirm several disturbing stories about trump now is that news is the opposite of news. is a story about something that we already heard of years ago and the same person is going to say it again. Then that's like a really big part of the sea and ends entire real state. Today, they're gonna tell us a story about what a guy thought one person now do you think that there is new information? Do you think they ve got or document is just the same person and he's got some complaints about trump? And that's news: that's the news. It didn't used to be like this right. There's no news value to this at

It'll be funny when I tell you what he actually says. So basically, this is the new worse than watergate. I think CNN just got so tired of saying everything was worse than watergate when it wasn't and getting mocked for it that they needed a new go to. So it looks like they're going to use the generals, so it's going to be all of trump's ex generals, are going to be the new worsen watergate or the thing he said Oh now, here's my take On general milly and general kelly, I swear this might be pure by us on my part. It might be, but they come off as stupid. Does anybody else have that I'm in trouble call them stupid, and I know I'm being being primed by that so use influence me that you're maybe look and look at it in those terms, but they

actually act, stupid and public, like actually literally- and I know say that about people that I disagree with you- you're not automatic like? I don't say that Eric Swalwell is stupid. I don't think he's stupid at all. He does things I don't like less completely different. He seems smart, but honestly the generals don't seem smart and I don't know what to think about that. Is that just me, because it could be me right. If we're being honest, it could entirely be me. Do you see it too? Religious me? Is everybody having the same I've that they know it looks yeah, there's worrisome policy. What John Kelly sazen! You tell me how credible This sounds. You should use all of your tools that I've told you about what is a credible report and what is it so that all quiz you and ask if this is

So this starts out by saying that the general kelly confirmed suffer remarks is for robust trump may now he's good at the story. Is that he's confirming several things? Tom said: what does that mean? Confer it means you say get a second time if you saw confirming. wouldn't you say to yourself: oh there's, a document that shows it right. That's why your brain would say, or there are more people who are backing him up because they were in the same meeting. That would sound like confirmation of a second person says the same thing, But doubtless illusory and see if the sounds like use, confirming anything or just restating ways are reason. Above all blah a little bit about him and then says I saw you,

what kelly says about jump a person there thanks. Oh a person there things so now he's gonna tell us what rumble thinks it is in our thoughts. He thinks that those. Send the country uniform or a shot down or seriously wounded in combat or spend years being torture dispute peeled abuse are all suckers, because there is nothing in it for them. Do you believe that even slightly even slightly is a good summary of what trump things in his inner thoughts? No number one is mind, really number two. It's a made up quote right, so he's.

Simply invent something to get mad at and he actually calls it out as talk him that he knows what somebody's thinking, but the other tell is this. This was always good that those basically he uses word all so. He says the trump says everybody who served all of them are soccer, does that sound like anything that trump would say in the real world that all of the people who served in the military were suckers doesn't sound like something he would have said. Very. Insistent so and what is the evidence for this none is given is just a statement. I think he thinks this now there is more. There is more evidence, but it's not not in this part of it.

He also says that tromp was a person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees, because quote it doesn't look good for me. Do you think that's the right context and exactly what trump said, because somebody said he said it who doesn't like him, so disgruntled person as he said something now it doesn't sound slightly true here's. What I think could be true. I think it could be true that privately he would talk about what was a good photo up. Is it good for isn't a good photo op to show you next to desperately ill people? Maybe not. Maybe that is that. Is that something that you can say privately. You know that it's not making you look good yeah. I think that's fair. That has nothing to do with that.

Which empathy you have for the soldiers is purely a visual persuasion statement. Now I don't think he actually said it. My guess, is it never came out of his mouth, but if he did, it's more likely in the context of persuasion, has nothing to do with respecting or disrespecting anybody. That's what that would be. My guess, the obvious. That would be the obvious context. This left them pursue, demonstrated open contempt for a gold star family yeah, one one gold star family, that was attacking him. He displayed contempt for somebody who is who was attacking him. That's not exactly a problem now it does not make this look like it's some kind of disrespect for gold star parents right at this or anything no suggested choppers disrespect for all gold, star parents or just the one

it was onstage publicly publicly criticised. I dunno. If your goals are a family- and you publicly criticize me I'll, go after you in a heartbeat and it would have nothing to do with any goldstar anything. And he's also saying that trump called the people defends america losers and wouldn't visit their graves in france. None of that sounds true. None of that sounds even slightly true. What is the proof? Is there a document now? Is there a video now? Is there another person?

so who is as sega at the same time, while we'll see several senior staffers told the atlantic several senior staffers, you mean anonymous. People told the atlantic the most lying publication in the world. The atlantic is the least reliable source on anything trump. They literally are the primary maker uppers of bullshit about trump. So so so Several, how many have several three, what are their names? Oh they're, all anonymous! Oh, isn't that convenient anonymous people talk to the least credible entity in the world. That's that's some of the evidence. I e allow trump legislate. The allegedly said why why should I go to the cemetery is filled with losers? Do you think there's any chance

Is that even privately? No, no, it doesn't even sound like him. If you're going to do a fake quote, you should at least put in the time to make it sound like something He would say this as even so, like your style of talking, much less is opinion. He was. Kelly also criticise the former was saved, trap was not truthful, is political positions. That really makes him stand out among the presidential candidates. Oh my goodness, there's somebody who thinks a politician didn't tell the truth. Ok here we ve got a factor that, in with all the politicians, And he says kelly says that travellers a person No idea what america's stands for and has no idea what

america is all about. That's the best. You can do that. You don't do what america is all about, so you're arguing definitions of america or whose history lesson was better? Does they sound like a desperate, just sort of an asshole? I may just feels like an asshole to me. he says the trump trumpets quote. A person who admires autographs and murderous dictators, does a or does I admire them the same way we do the same way. I do do I admire Putin when I say that he is very effective at getting what he wants is that admiring him resides just a statement observed stable effect, if I also say, is a murderous evil. Bastard by is really good at getting this country to support him and getting stuff that am I

and would I be then admiring them now admiring is a is an asshole word is putting is imagining you're reading his mind and then you're interpreting it in the worst possible way. A person who has nothing but contempt for democratic institutions, really trump has only contempt for democratic institutions more so than the normal person. Don't you think a little bit of contempt is just about right. If you dont have a little bit of contempt for our democratic institutions, you have not been paying attention, so a little bit account it is just about the right amount and the rule of law yeah? He is laws.

Them kelly says: there's nothing more. That can be said. God help us now now just keep of you, my that jake tapir decided this was news worthy enough and he called a confirmation what it was, the confirmation, Was it the several senior staffers were anonymous, who told the atlantic the least credible publication in the world so see, then the second least credible organisation the world is pointing to the atlantic reporting about some anonymous people to confirm lesser confirmation, if I may and the segment with what I call my only good impression, I call it the jake tapir tilt or just the tap or tilt it's. When you ask a question of somebody that you think is lying any want them now, with your face in your head till. It goes like this.

While listening, try it try on the holidays next time, somebody is explaining to their political opinion. If you don't like it, just look at them and gives them the tap or tilt just like that. If you're listening on audio you're missing one of my best impressions- oh it's fantastic head is tilted mouth in a mocking position is good stuff, if only

hello. This is god atoms and now is your chance to reply to questions hot takes and calls for feedback from myself and all of your favorite part, guessers unspecified. Every new episode could have a q and a report with a topic for you to wait on so lay your voice be heard. Personally, I plan to use these tools to get you to enjoy the gaunt and even more so that over to respond. If I searched for coffee was got Adams or your favorite punkahs and view the latest episodes and respond to cure, And bulls and spot, if I only sir Rasmussen at a ball asking people, how likely is it that cheating will affect the outcome of the next presidential election? What would be a

number that would represent a healthy country like what percentage would you feel that's about right? I would have said that if twenty four percent thought it's likely or twenty five percent thought it was likely, but if seventy five percent thought oh another elections are fine. I'd feel like we were pretty safe because, as I often say, twenty four percent twenty five percent will get every question wrong. But if seventy five percent said I think everything's, fine. I would feel comfortable as well, probably, but it's the opposite of that. So it's closer to, let's say the people who think that cheating will affect the outcome very likely, as thirty percent somewhat likely is twenty four percent. So you forget.

Fifty four percent think is somewhat likely or very likely that the election will be affected by cheating. Does like a dangerously high number- and would anybody like to argue with me about whether trump is persuasive? Do you think that this number would be anywhere near what it is? If trump had simply said, I accept the election as it is now. This is totally trump trump trump, actually convinced more than half of the country. That elections are are not credible. Think about that trump. All right I mean other people, mimicked him and and said the same things, but only because he did trump by himself got fifty four percent of the public, the voting public, to think that the elections are at least somewhat likely to be crooked. That's pretty remarkable,

in terms of persuasion. That is one of the all time, most persuasive things. I've ever seen. Can you think of anything more persuasive in the country at a very solid opinion of how safe elections are? I doubt it had changed much in the years until recently, you're probably had a big change recently. Well. Do you think this is a big bad sign or a good site is a bad news of good news that more than half the country thinks the election might be sketchy? I think this was too close to call it's bad in the sense that we wish that the elections were not only good, but everybody knew it so as bad. That way, what is good in the sense that nothing gets fixed until people admit there's a problem.

And at the very least, the elections do not have the fully archibald transparent nature. We all want so maybe having half of the public doubt that it is even in real election. We'll get you. It's to actually fixing something. I'm gonna say again why I think the election is not on the table and that is done in a fashion that gives us was a less comfort than they could. I think is intentional and I think is because both sides cheap, I think that's the whole story. Both sides cheat so neither side as a really strong incentive to change the whole system.

The way that nobody can cheat because they want to keep their district right clearly, their power centres that stay republican and republicans republicans would like to not lose them. So I think, have reached a point where both sides are- and this is just speculation based on observation- that it looks like both sides are going to accept, cheating and then can be the cheating itself to see who can out cheat the other side and cheating in the sense would include legal stuff. You know things you didn't see coming, but somebody have a a clever legal, maneuver, totally legal that changes the so I think was the other legal and maybe less illegal competition. So it looks like a competition of cheaters. At this point otherwise. I don't know what I'm saying. I cannot explain why republicans would not want to fix a system. Little drawer

Only one reason the people who can fix it, don't wanna vexed. I can. I can think of no other reason why there is no other reason But if you can think of any other reason, then maybe it's a failure of imagination on my part, because a country lots of times it's just a failure of imagination, I just can't imagine and the other exe elation, but don't you think somebody would want to tell me what the other explanation is. You feel like a republicans would want to say you know we're trying real hard to get these elections to be fair, but those darn Democrats keep stopping us for one reason or another. When do you like to hear that to at least know that one side was trying to fix the transparency, but I've never heard anything like that, nothing even close to that.

So after both in an otherwise nothing makes sense. I assume the same about corruption, if it were only true that bob Menendez is the crooked one. Well I'll be amazed, but if you don't think the republicans could have known what this guy was doing or that people do this and this that job, as probably because republicans are doing the same thing in a different way. So again, I would assume that corporate or congressional corruption probably is because they're doing it on both sides, probably not every person.

Not every person, but it's probably a both sides. Alright, it was this new study that says you could make yourself look good in interviews and just look good to other people at work by praising your coworkers. At the same time, you may be safe, good things about yourself, so the research says that instead of saying I did this- and I did that you say my coworker Bobby's great he's- really killing it and, together with you, know, Alice and Joe and isaac. You know what I did my part. I think I did a good part too, but man we got a good team. Supposedly. That makes you look like the best person you could hire now. Did you need to do research?

that or could you watch every athlete doing an interview ever who have been trained by professionals and how they asked all right? Let let me let me give you every athlete, Scott, you, you scored eighty points in the basketball game. Today, it's the most, anybody has ever scored and in decades sensor will guess so, anyway will table or something and ask how do feel about your great accomplishment. Welcome. I like to think it's a team effort, the team play, really. Well, I don't think too much about my personal stats. I was just thinking about getting the win. If we can get the win, then our team is working as one unit and that's all I care about Now literally, everybody has known forever that if those same athlete said you know, I did this largely load

You know normally I'd expect my teammates to be like kicking it a little bit of scoring, but my god they were slow today. So I had to take all the scoring upon. I own shoulders. I hope they can pick up the pace tomorrow, but what the hell happened to the rest of the team. If I'm scoring eighty points something's wrong with the rest of the team, let me tell you right: doesn't everybody know not to do that? Did we really need to study? There are people who give credit to those around them, wait for it. Wait for it hold on. This was shocking, turns out of the according to science, the people who are generous to the people around them

Are more liked to buy who who the people were generous to the people around them are more well liked by the people around them yeah the people around them. So that's, that's quite a shocking thing They have no study this, but I have I bought. This is that if you did a control group, one group of people was punching the people around them. Every time they saw a hey bob, Aren't you that there would be less light. Probably I mean you have to do the science, Try a less liked than the people who see you in there timely, see you they give you a compliment. So if you were to compare the two groups, the complementing everybody versus the punching everybody, I feel, like you, see a difference.

now. That does say I'm still kind of a scientist, because I'm not- I just have some theories that I think should be checked out. I think we should do a study on that. Pfizer can fund that. Alright, MR beast, who's. A east on social media. I believe, is number of followers. Mr beast is one trillion one chilean people volume- I don't know it's a lot, so I think he has the most followers but there's a deep, fake skin. of him a little video in which you scamming people to do something. They I'm sorry and he used wheeling around to make sure people knew was a scam, and he says this is a serious problem, but is it is it I wonder if the deep fakes are going to be so obvious that everybody will just stop.

giving money to everybody like I. I can't imagine seeing a video of somebody saying give me money in any context. unless they were selling me a product. I knew it was an advertisement, but I can't imagine being influenced by a person talking cause. I just wouldn't believe that if they were real person, I wouldn't believe them, but then the possibility that their ai, you know twice as many reasons to not believe him. I think we'll just stop believing everything. I think people will adjust so instead of being super gullible and we keep falling for this stuff. That'll happen in the short term in the long run will just not believe anything. I think that's where we're going A good place to be well you're, probably wondering about the story and talked about yet there was a journalist named Josh krueger.

hu, as fatally shot seven times early morning, things yesterday and he was in philadelphia now. The story is notable for a few reasons: one is it wasn't: journalists and activists and democrat type, but also he was quite active social media, including two days before you is shot to death in his home.

it was a mocking me on twitter. I didn't know it. I didn't realize it until after it was already dead, but apparently had been just been mocking me for an old tweet of mine from twenty twenty that I said that if Biden is elected, this is before the election last election. I said if Biden was elected, there's a good chance, she'll be dead in a year and he mocked me for saying that and mocked my ability to see the future and he was a slave violently in his home hours later now. Today's news is that there was another person who had tweeted some trash me recently, who is, Also stabbed death at Malcolm X, boulevard, thirty, two year old actors to us, so the entire fossil fuel. So that would be two of my critics

who were slain within days in criticising me and people are asking. Is this some kind of a trend? Do you have alibis? Why do have alibis? But now it's coincidence since its sequences. Also. There is a report that in Washington d c Well, there was a member of congress who got carjacked yeah, who is it to Henry Cuellar so democrat member of congress who got carjacked in DC, which is all So a coincidence, right now I would have said you should get ever dc because a lot of criminal but congress is gonna, wait around and just keep you do victimized. I guess

That would be their choice, so I would like to report that I'm about half way off a prisoner island. You remember what the middle phases wreck our remind you are prisoner, islanders, prisoner island is the story that I hold in my head about.

when things get bad. What that's about so prisoner island is. I imagine that if you dropped me on an island full of just prisoners and no no law, they would do beat me and rape me on the first day and leave me for dead, but I'd probably live and then the next day they'd do the same thing and beat me and rape me. But if he came back in a year they would all be dead, and I would be everyone who touched me would be dead and I'd be the king of prisoner island because I don't like to lose. So that's just a tour of a story. I tell myself so when I got canceled it did look like I'd been dropped on prison.

But if you're worried about me, you should pay attention to lose, because the news is just one story after another confirming that we have a dangerous situation and that is being made more dangerous every day by democrats poisoning the racial relations and I only crime and that as democratic bodies start to fall, all of them tragedies not making fun of anybody's death. It will start to create a pattern which will suggest that there was something wrong, and maybe I had a point which had nothing to do with Ebay is dna? Nothing. I said nothing to do they both culture. It has everything to do with the fact that we ve been trained there. One group of miracles are the oppressors and they have your stuff and you should go get it back and if you happen to be in that group,

It has been labeled the group that oppressed you who has your stuff and you need to get it back. You should be very cautious about that. Alright, let's talk about laetitia, james or maybe letitia. Does anybody know how to pronounce her name? I've heard it people just say it quickly, because they're not sure Letizia. That is you, I think, as a sort of a you know, everybody just does it the way they want laetitia Laetitia. It's exactly I it's spelled well, I'm gonna pronounced anyway. I want so. I thought we buy Coming to the great showed a video from twenty eighteen a lydia James,

vowing to use the law to get trump. Now, if you hear it is very clear that she is a political person, who's gonna use. The law too, two applies logical after trump, so she made a bunch of claims that you couldn't back up in. Added, it was a understand that the days of donald trump are coming to an end well, and so, after all, these graham's charges of colluding with other countries and money laundry all these charges, the thing that they charge they're, trying to nail him on. After all, those great charges are that he took out a loan and paid it back with interest. That's what he's being charged with now as part of that

They say that he overvalued is assets, but their argument is ridiculous and his face, because the way they valued his assets were so laughably wrong. That wouldn't matter waited there their cases so laughably, obviously purely political that I think Latisha James you're gonna jail. I mean when I listen to her and then I see what she's doing

I think how in the world this is legal, I mean she's using the legal system. So she's, you know not committing a crime per se, but it looks like a crime. It feels like a crime, it has the it has the effect of a crime. Why isn't the describe the the crime should be? Well? Actually there probably isn't crime, there probably is a crime about you and what would it be an unsupported prosecution there's? What would be the name for that? Not just defamation, an unsubstantiated, frivolous prosecution. Militias prosecution, let's go with malicious prosecution. If I were a lawmaker, I would have made a law against malicious prosecution. There must be one is there not

is there. No law gives using the law maliciously, I feel like there should be a specific log as land because there's no way, I don't. Is there any way that Latisha James and her staff believed their own charges? I think they should have to prove that they believed their own charges, because do you think they have any evidence of any crime? I think I would have seen it. I've seen nothing that would suggest they have evidence of a crime of you. So should they not be pushed to show that they have evidence of a crime before they pursued it? I think you can show that they did not have any evidence of a crime and they pursued it anyway. Don't you think so I think that trump should get elected.

And that one way or another she should be brought to justice. Could you do it on federal charges or would have to be a state charge? Is railway the feds could get out for breaking the law if she goes after a federal get oh she's, she would be interfering with it, federal election there we go yeah. She would be interfering with a federal process by trying to put a candidate in jail without legitimate charges, and it would also be rico so you could get rico because I'm sure as coordinated you could find. If you got a hold of our communications, you don't think you would find that she's talking to democrat leadership Of course she does so if you got a hold of communications, you can find out just how coordinated it was, and I do think there's enough evidence of a crime that you should at least be able to indict, because

the dates for just about anything. So I think it needs to be mutually assured disaster. I I think that if trump doesn't go to jail, that the prosecutor does have to go to jail in this case, yeah yeah mutually assured destruction. I think that the prosecutors all need to go to jail if they lose if they win we're in bad shape, but if they lose they'll have to go to jail. That's my take.

All right Rasmussen also asked how many people think our intelligence agencies in the? U s or influencing the news media sixty five percent think think it is likely that s intelligence agencies are influencing news coverage, sixty five percent, that's so two thirds of the public thinks the news is fake and fake, because our intelligence people are manipulating it. How in the world? Is that not a hundred percent? That's love! It's amazing that there are that many people who don't understand how anything works.

if you actually believes that the news operated independently. You would be so confused by what you're saying as soon as you realize it's all fixed and I'll. Tell you I I I stopped worrying about rob, reiner's tweets. They used to drive me but then I look at him he's probably just working with somebody. If you know what I mean And then, once you realize that I don't know that, that's true, it's just the observable ie. It looks like the logical conclusion. It looks like the obvious conclusion doesn't mean it's true. But it looks obvious that it doesn't bother you anymore, he's just like a commercial commercials, don't bother all right. Let's talk about the gates, trying to vacate mccarthy said the the the the republican speaker of the house,

so the surviving summarizes for those of you who are not paying attention so well every year. The congress has to pass a budget, but nobody wants to cut anything, because that makes you unpopular so they all get together and they try to screw the public by putting all the all the separate bills into one big one, so that if you vote against the one big one you're and you're a loser and you're terrible, but then they can get off all their little budgets through

with a cup, so pjs says, Scott is purposely undervalued properties, tax evasion for a loan. No, no! It was at the question how about for insurance for insurance? It will be paying more insurance than you need to pay. If you target

a property tax. I don't believe this part of the charges. So here's what I would advise Yucas based on this comment, if you're looking at the trump legal jeopardy looking at what he did with banks and insurance companies, if you do not have a business education shut, the fuck up, you have no idea what's happening, just shut the fuck up right or talk to a banker. Talk to a banker. Ask a banker if they take, if they take the If the customer's word for what they're worth nobody does right. So your minimum requirement for being part of this conversation is, you have to have a business background. If your background is art, you might be an awesome person that makes great art, but you shouldn't be in this conversation. You're not qualified, if you think the news is telling you something useful about the nature of the

or just or not, not even close, the the story is so botched. I think it's partly because there aren't that many business people who do the news, but I doubt it's even been reported correctly on the news on the business channels. I haven't watched them, but I'll bet the business channels are totally botching. The story. Have you seen any of the business stories say, there's no such thing as a bank that trust you. When you say your asset is worth a certain amount in the history of the world. That's never happened, but only business people know that artists, don't know that the artists think that this is real because the court is involved, so it must be real. No, it's not real. It is just a political attack. You need to understand, you don't live in the country. You thought you did. We do not live in a country where the law is being properly applied and that our political, you know participants, are being unfairly treated, we're not in that world. They are a big act, absolutely targeted for destruction by very bad people, and part of that is fooling you with complicated stories so that you think you understand. What's going on. Oh he's in court for a banking thing, I guess he tried to fraud. Do some fraud? No there's absolutely no evidence of that not, and there probably won't be because the nature of the banking relationship is that the banking checks everything themselves. That's core to their job is not something that might have happened this time and maybe not know, is central to what a banker does they check. I was a backer, so I'm not talking from, and I was a lender as well, so I'm not talking from,

yeah cause. I read a book about it. I was an actual bank lender, we don't take. Any boys were for anything ever. There are no exception to that and if the property tax thing comes up, maybe there's more of a story there, but I never heard that one. I don't you think, that's part of the charges. So let me explain this gates. Mccarthy thing so gaze said he got mccarthy's some months back in order to as part of gates, agreeing to support mccarthy to be the speaker gates in his will. Pack of rogues got mccarthy to agree that they would only give them spending deals in packages that were separate, but then I guess he did a track where he waited until they didn't have time

I read the packages which was just as good as putting them all in one place. So there does seem to be some trickery involved that clearly the process cannot stand transparency. So there is a an obvious observable move to make the budget dealings less transparent in front of the public whose money it is if anybody has tried to make the process less transparent, as if you're not going to have time to read the bills, you gotta vote on it, but trust us. You don't have time to read it, no good or if they take a bunch of bills, and they stick them together into one big frankenstein bill. So you don't quite know, what's going on, no good, no good, you gotta be transparent, because it's our money, so gates is working towards that transparency and also making politicians keep their word because Mccarthy promised to deal with them. One way and gates says that he's not doing so even thomas massie thinks that Mccarthy should not be removed

because in many ways is better speaker than the republicans have had before. That's what massey says yeah, but you know, is this one issue, the one that you want to. You know throw everything away for, and my answer is yes. Yes, this is the one issue to throw everything away for you should put the entire country at risk to get this done Normally, I would say: no, no, no don't do anything that puts a whole country at risk, but this you have to do it. This is an existential risk. If we just keep voting money that we don't have, we are guaranteed to be on a business as a country, so we have a design that guarantees

failure, nobody's argue without statement when we say it again and keep in mind that there's nobody left or right who disagree with this following statement, our current design of how we approve things guarantees the destruction of american guarantees. It is not even offered debate. You couldn't find anybody would debate with that point. Nobody believes you can keep spending more money than you have forever. That's not a thing, but we're in that system and there's exactly one person who is willing to take them.

Risk this big enough that maybe could fix it. I don't even know if it would. I dunno if it can be fixed, but I know there's only one person trying and he will be almost if he's not completely destroyed by this he's going to be totally attacked, they're going to try to impeach him and remove from everything I mean they're, going to go really hard, because transparency is something that the congress can handle. They can't do their job if you're watching, which tells you something about the jobs are doing so I'm going to take a different position from Thomas massie, and it's because I have a different risk profile. So, if you're a member of current congress, I can see how you'd want to not take super big risks, which is a good impulse. So I I still like Thomas massey's way of thinking. I, like his transparency. I, like the session,

look. Why is doing what he's doing so? I respect all that. Even when I disagree, this is a existential moment and there's only one person is even acting like he understands the rest. Don't even act like they understand it like. I think they do, but they act like that. That's no good, so I hope gates succeeds in completely destroying the effectiveness of congress until something useful gets done. we get. Three scientists won the nobel prize in physics. if were. studying how our will electrons zip around the atom in the tiniest fraction of a second, so I guess somehow they figured out how to get a video of an atom or an electron, zipping, its fuzzy picture, and they don't know what to do with it or how useful

we'll be but sunday that might be super important, they're, not quite sure how but Three are as a pure augustine, ferenc kraus, French born an earlier now. It's too, I was in the one and the a p did a big story about it and that's where I saw it do you think they showed the three of them standing there? No, they didn't. They showed a half half page photo of the woman. Now how many women, either individually or as part of a team, do, you think, were nominated for the nobel prize. You know where I'm going with this right now she wasn't. She wasn't a black lesbian, but you know where I'm going with this right,

did you use to think the nobel prize was something you'd be proud of. If you want, I used to think that I used to think when it be great. If I won a nobel prize for somethin, doesn't matter what and now I see this, and the first thing I think is this is terrible for the woman, because a woman is a scientist and for as far as I know,

She did a great job and she absolutely deserves this right. Let's say that first is entirely possible. If not probable, that the woman was, you know important part of the the team. Her contributions really opened up a field of study that wasn't there before and could be really important, but in the context of overdone, woke ness, I assume the opposite. I assume she didn't deserve it. That's what I assume- and that is really fucked up right is not. It sounds like it would be misogynistic, but it's not cause as nothing to do. if the woman it has nothing to do with other women it has to do with woke ness is going to give the prize to the woman if there's one running, the only thing we have to know is that there was at least

One woman on at least one team, and then you could have predicted she would win the award as well as the rest of the team. Now I would love to think it's all legitimate, and this was the best team and as best the judges could determine it was the most impressive accomplishment and everybody contributed. It's actually probable, but the entire process is has no credibility left at all.

There's just no credibility, so the all of these words went from being the best thing that could ever happen to your your life to absolutely being sort of icky. Like I imagine a few of the guys, imagine the two men on the team: do you think that they're going home and saying privately to their spouses? This is like the greatest thing. That's ever happened to me, but do you think we would have won if we didn't have a woman on the team. And the spouse will say. I don't know it's really messed up, so even the guys are not can have a clean win like it. I would imagine in their minds, are probably thicken. Yes, our team are teammate you're, the woman and her team was grey

But probably a lot of other people do great things do. Why did we get it and it's gonna make their accomplishments feel lesson? So that's going on here's a story that made these social media news that

ans women will be banned from female hospital wars in the uk. Under a new plan to push push back against the wall, curry as the tweet goes now, why is that news? Why is it news that trans women, which would be people were born biologically with male parts, and why would they be banned from a female hospital ward, while the reason given is for the safety and comfort of the the other people in the female ward? But, more importantly, why is it news just think about this for a moment? Why is it news because it gets clicks? I'm not really is news, because somebody did something smart. Normally, that's not news! Think about it. So when the weather is it news to do something? That's obvious and smart that that we've reached a point in history we've actually reached. The point where are our level of incompetence is so stunningly thorough that when somebody does something that makes sense to you, it's a fucking headline where we're very close to the point. Where it'll be news, that there was a vote in congress on a specific

bill. You know without being lumped with other things and nobody pulled a fire alarm and that that'd be like a headline whoa. There was transparency in the vote and there was no factory and nobody pulled an alarm and they just voted on it, and then they pass it into law. And then it was a thing like we're so close to completing incompetence that any little glimmer of smartness feels like. Can you do that.

I would argue that my cancellation was was national news, because what I said made sense not because it was offensive if it was simply offensive, probably wouldn't have made news is because it made sense that people are in context again. I'd, never said anything about anybody's dna or their culture. I don't do that, but certainly you can say things about the way people are trained and educated, and if one group of people are trained and educated to think that the other group are their enemies and and the enemy has your stuff and you should get it back, that's a bad place to be. If.

Choice you should go somewhere else is not really a practical way to do that, but that was the. That was the balikh point. I saw a story that I dont believe, which is the sinaloa sinhala cartel, which has traditionally been a big sentinel source. Now I guess, since the boss, l chap oh get locked up his cartel is now partly run by his for sons and partly run.

Some other leader who took a part of It- and I guess the other leader is continuing to defend an all, but the for sons allegedly don't know if this is true- were trying to tell their own operation to stop doing sentinel and get out of the sentinel business. I what do you make of that? First of all, does I sound even a little bit true that any part of the cartels for any reason would try to get out of the sentinel business. It doesn't sound trip, but you could imagine that EL chapel was being pressed

in some way like this? Here's the deal, El Chapo we've got five, or so I dunno how many maybe at least for a republican presidential candidates who are going to send the military into destroy you. If you don't want that, go back to just selling, you know marijuana and cocaine and heroin, which don't kill nearly as much as fentanyl. If you go back to that, we won't invade the country, we'll just do the usual interdiction stuff and try to rescue, as we can we'll go back to our cat and mouse thing and by the way we might even do some business with you. You know some secret business, maybe our cia, these little

the money. Maybe we could go easy on you. You help us out. You know that sort of thing, that's what it looks like. So my guess is that somebody tried to negotiate a deal in which the sinaloa folks would get on offense at all. In return for some kind of you know easier action or somebody gets out of jail or something El Chapo, his wife was released. Could it be possible that El Chapo worked a deal where his wife would be released and return from quasi his sons to get out of the federal business? Maybe you can imagine

in that being a deal, I don't know that it was. But this was always the way to get this done. The way to stop sentinel was probably for intelligence people to work a deal with the cartels so that they can still be rich, but we wouldn't send our military and because there was too much public pressure to do it so something's happening, but I doubt it will happen impact on the supply of sentinel right. So yesterday I did a pot guest interview and I can do unto him tomorrow, I'll, let you know all about those who yesterday at a pearl of burly things,

I'll, let you know when that's up and in theory unless, unless it gets postponed, I better check my messages do so unless unless it gets cancelled, I'll be russell brand today, and I think he would show up for your viewing a little later this week. But I don't want to give you a date on that until until its confirmed goes with podcasting, things get reschedule just all the times.

so that's happening. My other podcast would be a mega kelly. If you wanna do a google search, I'm told the megan kelly interview and the Michael malice interviews you can google both of those were some of my best work. So if you like to see some of my best work currently as there alright Yeah. I don't believe those those are the only ones that are scheduled right now. Can you go in the all in podcast? Well, I know I've got a few other podcasts I'll be looking at going on, but they're, not all practical they're, not they're, not all, really in my sweet spot.

The if drugs were legal dosages would be known and consistent and overdoses would decline. You know I used to think that so there's one view that if drugs were legal, people would get let's say a legal fentanyl pill and then they would take it and it wouldn't be enough to give them that any caffeine, oh d, that is from somebody who has never met an addict. Can I explain an addict for you? Hey your fentanyl is now legal and it's all regulated, and if it's free, it's free, just come in and we'll give you a fentanyl pill that definitely won't kill you. What is the addict? Do every time not sometimes, but every time they go in, they get their free pill. Oh thank you for the free pill and then they send their friend and get another free pill. Friend is not an addict, but they go and say: oh totally, addict. Give me a free pill. Friend gets a free pill gives it to the addict. So he has two bills, because the alex

one bills, not enough for me. I have built up so much tolerance and unlike a three pillar person, so the attic keeps taking the free bills as much as they can get and then, if the free pills are not enough, what does he do? He buys illegal drugs to add to the three bill. Now, if you didn't know that that will happen every time with a serious act, then you shouldn't be part of this conversation. this basic. If you don't understand, the attics will do whatever they can to get more, and that more is the only one or two that makes sense. There's no such thing as here's enough, hey attic! Why don't you try that with that?

All why don't you say that alcoholics hey alcoholic, a good deal for you, one free beer every day that should take your your problem right could is your problem is drinking too much, but I will give you one free beer every day No more alcoholics, hey! I solve alcoholism because I gave them free beer, everyday and as well, measured and safe, and I guarantee you that nobody is going to have an overdose or die of alcoholism from one beer a day. So I guess I nailed that today. Is there any other problems you like news of now? So that's the problem with legalized drugs. If, if you look at legalized drugs from your

One non addict point of view is sorta makes sense, but as soon as you say, an addict only wants one quantity. More there's only one quantity, an addict wants more once you learn that trick that everything makes sense like why things don't work. Why things do work? It all makes sense when you realize that they only want more in all cases, everytime, that's what addiction is alex, always go to eleven. That is correct. They don't stop at ten alright, and that, ladies and gentlemen, was everything I needed to do today. I gotta get ready to Dr Russell brand. Let you do that drops and that's all for today. I'll talk to you later.
