well hello everybody come on him come on in it's time for coffee with Scott Adams best part of the day every single time is anybody addicted yet whoo ha ha ha well then my plan is working isn't it and if you haven't tried the simultaneous hip let's say you've been resisting you're thinking to yourself I'm not gonna take a sip of my beverage at the same time he does I'm not gonna fall for that persuasion well you're only hurting yourself because it's the best part of the day and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tanker chelators Tyne a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine ahead of the day can you feel it you could start to feel a build feel it feel it and now the simultaneous sip go just as advertised

[1:19]

go just as advertised god I feel sorry for the people who didn't take a sip but maybe next time you want to get the dopamine going that's how you do it by the way that is a hypnosis trick it's a benign one meaning I'm telling you what the trick is and it's good for you which is that if you can pair an activity with something that feels good and you keep pairing that activity with something that feels good eventually you'll be able to just do the activity and it'll make you feel good it's a little trick that you can use at home well the enemy of the people continues to surprise because you think you've seen everything evil you know you've lived for a while and you say to yourself probably seeing everything that's evil you know some form of it but now the enemy of the people sometimes some call them CNN writes an article in which they

[2:22]

them CNN writes an article in which they talk about was it Brazil I think it's gonna go harder for hydroxychloroquine I think it was Brazil but it doesn't matter for this this point and here's how CNN calls prescribing hydroxychloroquine now if you were going to talk about a medical situation in which actual medical doctors people were highly trained in the medical profession but they're in another country and they've decided they've looked at all the data and they've decided that off-label use of hydroxychloroquine which is very common the off-label part not the specific off-label part but they'll use a very common thing using their total medical training and and their common sense and their risk management completely normal medical procedure I would call that a case of

[3:23]

procedure I would call that a case of those doctors wanting to prescribe hydroxychloroquine under certain situations wouldn't the right word be prescribed this is CNN's headline that that they're pushing it pushing they literally replaced the obvious word prescribing because it's doctors it's not one crazy quack doctor it's an entire nation a first world nation of highly trained medical doctors who want to prescribe it because they've looked at all the data they looked at the debunk to data that CNN in this very article neglected to mention that the the argument on the other on the other side is all debunked all of it it's completely debunked so the fact that CNN

[4:24]

completely debunked so the fact that CNN is acting like dear doctor and colleague you know other doctors for a quackery you know if you see them calling it one doctor for quackery wouldn't you say yeah the question of whether the zinc as part of that was a little unclear in the article as well but anyway you get my point it just seems pure evil when you have a news of sort of a news organization making medical judgments about an entire country full of medical professions it's one thing to call a doctor a quack you know when you see that you think well probably you know they looked into it it's probably a doctor who might be a quack but not the whole country the whole country full of highly trained doctors yeah they're pushing it of a bunch of pushers they're just drug

[5:25]

bunch of pushers they're just drug peddlers in that other country feels a little racist is all I'm saying so amazingly and I don't know how you can explain this I haven't been canceled yet what's going on why have I not been canceled I mean I'm genuinely curious I think I know what's happening I mean I could speculate but I'll remind you what I tweeted yesterday and I thought well this will this will get it done so let me just tell you when I tweeted to see how close I could get to that line of being cancelled now that now for context the point is not to just get cancelled to see if I can do it right I mean I'm not trying to get cancelled for some you know weird brand reason because I don't think it would work out well for me but I'm also not afraid of it now the problem is that unless you walk right up

[6:26]

problem is that unless you walk right up to the line of getting cancelled of going too far you're also not useful you can't be useful so far away from the line of cancellation that you're not saying anything use you know true you know the the closer you get to canceled is the closer you get to making a difference and the closer you get to actually getting people to engage and say all right that's what you're saying is pretty rugged and I hate you but let's deal with that you know some difficult opinions and in some cases some difficult truths to the to the degree that we can figure out what is true so here's what I tweeted and as not yet cancelled me yet number one no one can point to an example of systemic racism except against whites and asian-americans like in education for example upper level college upper level education number two resisting rest is the only thing that can get you killed by cops I mean that alone should have

[7:28]

by cops I mean that alone should have got me canceled and then and this is the funniest one reparations would be negative if you calculated them correctly every one of those should have got be canceled but I think you're putting three of them together made me less cancelable in a weird and a weird way because I think these are three points that nobody really wants to have a conversation about if you know what I mean and anybody who's watched me for even a little bit a little bit of a length of time probably doesn't want to get into a public conversation with me on these three points am I wrong do you think there's anybody who actually has watched me you know I'm not talking about somebody who's never heard of me but somebody who's actually watched me for a little while do you think they want to give in the conversation in public about these three points I don't think so I think that's the only thing that's keeping me from

[8:28]

the only thing that's keeping me from being cancelled because the act of canceling me would raise my profile I don't think that's a good play right so I think I'm vaguely ignored which is hilarious so what do you do when you're being ignored while you ramp it up a little bit don't you you're just gonna ramp it up a little bit so those three statements gotta be close to cancellation but apparently I didn't make it all the way there now I don't know if there's some kind of as you know as paradox coming happen in here where you know I could always I can always be halfway closer but I could never reach cancellation we're gonna find out because let me read my thread from this morning I I posted my thread at just about the same time Mickey I went live so most of you haven't seen it but let me read it to you in the order in the order that I did to thread now it's a long thread and normally I wouldn't you know I wouldn't want to just read stuff to you on video but I think it's worth it so I started

[9:29]

but I think it's worth it so I started it out this way I said today is the last day of my seven day challenge to provide a current example of systemic racism in America no examples yet just conceptual takes now when I say conceptual takes I mean the people are describing a situation in which it could happen or is happening but describing it is not exactly what I asked for what I asked for is an example meaning here's Bob Bob was discriminated against here's my evidence and he was discriminated against because the system is racist so I'm looking for that clean example here's Bob here's what happened here's how the system screwed Bob and they would not have screwed him had he been white but let me continue I know you're thinking ahead and you're thinking to the you know you're thinking two things I'm probably gonna get two

[10:31]

two things I'm probably gonna get two all right so I started out by saying that nobody has met the challenge yet but here's the here's who came closest and so I continue in my thread one view is the racist people in a non racist system creates a systemic racism for example the justice system is colorblind by intention you know that's the way it's designed is supposed to be but not by outcomes and I think we'd all agree that if you look at the outcome you know there's a there's a big racial despair they'll come but studies can't isolate that variable to find out you know I said the reason for different outcomes is assumed to be racism but studies can't isolate that variable you can't isolate that variable because the assumption is it's not active racists being actively racist it's rather a whole bunch of people who probably don't know they're racist this is the assumption but they're acting that way

[11:32]

assumption but they're acting that way any way through unconscious bias do you think that that can be isolated incredibly determined by studies that somebody has an unconscious bias by looking I think maybe you could do it in a controlled clinical setting but I don't think there's any chance that you couldn't do it in the wild you can't isolate millions of people's unconscious bias in the wild when you have so many other variables let me let me just mention the most obvious one do you think that everybody who goes through there has the same extenuating circumstances the same demeanor the same approach to it the same quality of same quality of lawyers probably not I mean there are lots of things that are gonna be different on top of whatever intentional or whatever subconscious bias there is and of course we know

[12:33]

bias there is and of course we know there's subconscious bias in all people alright so and then I continue so here I'm you're moving that the outcomes would look would look racial and here we have a new problem if quote look at the data is an argument for anything why are we having mass protests about police killing black citizens at a higher rate than other groups when the data says otherwise I continue if you think the data says police are killing black citizens and a higher rate than other groups it is because you're not good at analyzing things which puts you in good company with 95% of the public now I think that's fair if you know in the same way that 95% of us would not be good at analyzing a legal situation because we're not lawyers right we're not lawyers 95% of

[13:36]

lawyers right we're not lawyers 95% of us would not be especially good at diagnosing a complicated medical situation because we're not doctors we're not doctors so of course 95% of us are not good at it
it another thing that 95% of us are not good with that is looking at data and and figuring out what it really means and not being misled if you're not trained at doing that like a doctor is or a lawyer is for their professions you might think you can do it but 95% of the public can't and yet we're making all of our decisions based on data one ninety-five percent of the public can't do that they can't they can't use data they don't know how just like you're not a lawyer you're not a doctor they haven't been trained it's not a reasonable expectation that the public would understand data unless it's the simplest simplest thing and this isn't theirs no they're actually levels of

[14:37]

theirs no they're actually levels of complexity so then I said maybe 5% of the public knows the numbers you see in the media are intentionally all in caps of misleading for example if you think it means something that a higher percentage of the black population is killed by police you were in the 95 percent who were being duped by data that is misleading don't trust me about the data I continue in my threat good call you shouldn't you should anybody trust me about my interpretation of any data any data no no you shouldn't trust me why would you trust me now I am very experienced I did it for a living you know I was a I was a financial analyst you know I've got an economic degree of MBA I'm better than most people at analyzing data but I wouldn't

[15:38]

people at analyzing data but I wouldn't call myself an expert I would say I'm in the probably in the top 5% but not an expert but here's why you shouldn't trust me because we live in a world where nobody is credible about anything really you know every one of your front your major institution in this country from medical to government to financial they've all lied to you if they've all lied to you recently there's no such thing as credibility anymore you need to you need to kind of find a way to you know suss out what is true and what isn't on your own because you can't trust anybody else so I wouldn't I wouldn't ask somebody on the left - trust me about any data so I said this don't trust me about the data good call you shouldn't trust the left-leaning people who are experts at analyzing data and statistics that's fair right trust the people on your own team who are experts at this don't try to be an

[16:39]

experts at this don't try to be an expert at something you're not an expert at trust your own experts because they'll sort it out for you
and then I said they are all hiding meaning the experts on the left here the dog not barking where's that dog we're having this big national conversation about what the data shows do you remember seeing all the data experts on the Left explaining all the data on television or in newspaper articles well you might have seen them in the context where they get to speak without being challenged you might have seen a left-leaning person give a two-minute interview to a left-leaning data expert but is that useful no that's just the left talking to itself so I said no professional data or statistics expert on left or helping us sort out the data why why why is it that the most useful

[17:41]

why why why is it that the most useful and obvious people to be in the conversation are completely missing I can find idiots lots of idiots I can find people who claim to understand data but don't they're not experts don't claim to be experts I can find every kind of person in the world in those protests I can find every kind of person in the world talking on TV giving their opinions blogging making videos but you know who I don't see a data and statistics expert on the left talking about the stuff that the riots and the protests are about where are they and if they only talk to other people on the left you still wouldn't have something so what I said why don't you see them I follow up in the thread and say you know why they would be canceled by their own team if they told the truth don't believe me again good call we live in a world where no

[18:44]

good call we live in a world where no one is credible so let me offer a test of my claim don't trust me test it for yourself here's the test find me the most credible and left-leaning data / Statistics expert and put that expert in a long-form interview long-form as important so you need to have enough back and forth to exhaust the topic with a well-informed right-leaning interviewer on the topic of police violence let's say ben shapiro just to put a name to it so let's say ben shapiro in a long-form interview which he does well better than just about anybody and and put their best expert on and have him just talk it out so we can learn something alright and then i say this will not happen and you know it won't ask yourself why why won't the most obvious thing happen what's the

[19:47]

most obvious thing happen what's the most obvious thing somebody on the right who is skeptical of you know the data who is well informed having a long-form interview with somebody on the left who actually is the next and would speak to the data you'll never see it why why will you never see the one thing that's the only useful thing you can't even if you told me both Scott there are other useful things no there aren't no there aren't you don't want to see the left talking to the left what do you learn from that you don't want to say the right talking to the right what are you gonna learn from that and you also don't want to see the right talking to the left in a two minute TV interview where they just both spew some talking points and time's up what good is that there's literally one and only one way to get to any better level of understanding both left and right you got to put your you got to put your champions on the field at the same time I choose Ben Shapiro as my you

[20:52]

time I choose Ben Shapiro as my you would be my first recruit as somebody who would have enough broad understanding of the situation and the data to have an intelligent long form interview never gonna see it alright and then I continue you know that executive order Trump just signed that creates a national database of police misconduct
half the country is in for a big surprise if the data is deemed credible of course that's a big if people will doubt the data if it disagrees to be fair that surprise could go either way we don't know which way it'll go all right if you're being honest and we should be because we're at that point where you know maybe we just need to be honest for a change if we're being honest maybe when we collect the data and do a better job of it the people on the right are gonna be shocked as in holy cow I didn't realize things were that bad how can we help because if there's one thing that I

[21:53]

help because if there's one thing that I say over and over again that nobody believes on the left I don't think it I don't think if you're black you can believe this it just seems unbelievable there's nothing that white people like better than helping nothing we like it better than food we like it better than guns and we like guns right a lot of people in the right love guns now I associate left to Bernie and all social things but in terms of you know talking about it I like to associate with the right just because I like them better people on the right are nicer to me
me nobody in the right has ever cancelled me or even tried so I just am more comfortable with people who are good people who are willing to you know accept me for who I am as low as idle idea which i think is a fair deal so if somebody is going to be really surprised when this database of police misconduct gets up and populated to the point where if it ever gets into that world we could

[22:54]

if it ever gets into that world we could trust it and I don't know which way the surprise is going to go but don't we need to know that now what's funny about this is I think Trump is calling people's Bluff by calling for a national database of police misconduct how do you read that the only way to read that is he doesn't think the data that we have is telling the truth right you wouldn't ask for better data if you thought you had good data that just stands to reason he is challenging the data and I think that's fair because if there's any disagreement on the data well that just makes things worse so that's of course the smartest best thing that could be done which will be called by his critics not enough not enough I continue in my thread and I say cancel culture has forced white people to lie to black peoples for self-preservation no solutions are possible when debate is effectively outlawed I mean not actually

[23:56]

effectively outlawed I mean not actually in the law but effectively in a lot and the data experts are in hiding how do you solve a problem when you can't talk honestly because you'd be cancelled and you can't even ask your experts to weigh in how in the world how in the world all right so I get more provocative as we go here I say we are now experiencing mass protests over an issue the data can't find in a context have continuous race relations improvement really every year has been better and everyone started down on the same side after seeing the George Floyd video and more white people than black people protested you can't get much more agreement than that so how did we get my tweet continues how did we get to this absurd point in which the country is being ripped apart by agreement we're being ripped apart by agreement I

[24:59]

we're being ripped apart by agreement I mean the things we disagree on are trivial and we're all willing to like look you know to to run those things to ground but the big picture is that whatever we saw on that George Floyd thing that just got stopped whatever that was you know we'll let the legal system sort it out you know I'm of the view that you never really know everything that's going on you know especially in the beginning but whatever that was that's got to stop nobody disagrees with that right so we've got massive protests over agreement how do you get to such an absurd situation well I continue the biggest red pill in the world is a realization that your opinions on politics are assigned to you by people who know how to make you believe you made up your own mind there's probably some genetic propensity for conservatism or liberalism but not

[26:02]

for conservatism or liberalism but not the policy details not not the specific what do you do about it details most of you know I'm a trained hypnotist and I write about techniques of persuasion viewed through my filter the current upheaval in the country is predicated on something real and important to fix racism but the way we are acting on it comes from external persuasion the way we're acting on it is irrational we remember we're largely in agreement what do you do when you're in agreement you sit down you talk about the solutions you're working out absent votes we're not doing that or anything like that so obviously whatever is happening is divorced and now from data and reason what caused it what caused so many people to leave the field of reason when they had largely won what they were trying to win so then I said

[27:04]

they were trying to win so then I said this I said that I don't see a public trying to find solutions now people are celesta suggesting solutions but watch how those solutions are not accepted so if you say to yourself people are trying to find solutions they keep suggesting solutions somebody suggested this legislation Trump did these executive order black lives matter has a list lots of suggestions of course Scott they're trying to fix it no they're not no they're not no you would see us trying to agree on the data if people were trying to fix it you would see people say Oh President Trump your executive order that's good stuff can we talk about some other stuff we accept you know where you want on that we'd like to see more you think you'll see that no no no you're gonna see more papa fights you can see the puppets fighting even when they agree and even when one of the puppets says hey about this can we talk about this would this work for you no puppet fighting that's

[28:05]

work for you no puppet fighting that's just what you do when somebody offers you a concession as you have a puppet fight with them because you're so rational so here's what I said I don't see a public trying to find solutions what I see is hypnotized puppets fighting other hypnotized puppets while the puppet masters cash their checks and now I don't blame George Soros this isn't about money influence it's about something far more powerful and then I concluded this way you aren't yet ready for the truth but you will be you're not there yet but you will be so it's common it's common some of the biggest red bills in the world now when I talked about this some people wondered are you talking about a discrete event that you know about that you're telling us is coming now it's not a discrete

[29:06]

us is coming now it's not a discrete event what's happening is there are a number of discrete events which look like they're independent events and are but collectively they're starting to form a tapestry that tapestry will be your new understanding of reality you are heading to a higher level of awareness not all of you at the same rate and some of you won't make it at all you know it's a it's an individual journey but on average on average by the end of this year 2020 ironically 2020 the same the same same numbers we used to describe perfect vision in 2020 the year of perfect vision the entire world just lost all their their credibility and experts that's part of it

[30:07]

and experts that's part of it that's not all of it but losing your belief that the experts are on your side and telling you the truth is really important to get to the next level and that part is complete you do not believe any experts anymore you still have to listen to them because you know there are lots of situations where listening is the expert is better than guessing but you don't have the same trust that you would have had even if you hear all the experts agree when you hear all the experts agree what does that mean in 2020 nothing it doesn't mean anything he used to he used to mean a lot if you heard that all the experts agreed weren't you pretty sure that was true maybe not every time but didn't you say to yourself well all the experts agree it's probably 80 or 90 percent likely to be true not anymore I mean I don't know if it was ever true

[31:08]

I mean I don't know if it was ever true I suspect it was never true that the experts were right 80 than 90 percent of the time but you certainly don't believe it anymore now what do you believe well that's the part that's still coming together and by the end of this year almost all of you not all of you everybody's individual almost all of you will have reached a new level of awareness that's actually unprecedented now what that will feel like and what that will look like still a little bit unknown I mean the whole point of a higher level of awareness is if if you could see it from where you were at it wouldn't exist right the whole point of it is to move to a higher level of awareness and that's the big red pill that's coming it's a whole bunch of small things that collectively are going to sum up to a new view of your entire understanding of reality and your place

[32:09]

understanding of reality and your place within it so that wasn't what you were expecting today it wasn't I saw Steve ban and say something that just fascinated me and this gets back to sort of like you know the the feeling about the the feeling about the simulation you know the idea that we live in a computer simulation and we're not real in an original sense we're real as software but in that view of the things but not not real as the creators who made the software now here's one of those situations that just makes me think you know I don't think it's true in the way I'm gonna say it but it just feels like we live in a programmed movie because there are so many things that happen that fit a storyline or a narrative it's just getting harder and harder to ignore now your first assumption should be is nothing but coincidence and

[33:11]

nothing but coincidence and formation bias and I wouldn't tell you it's more than that but when you see it it's still interesting so I'm gonna call it out so Steve Benin made this observation that George Floyd we know from the corner of report I had coronavirus and he also had fentanyl in his system now there's a separate conversation about how much those mattered to the outcome but what are the odds that George Floyd would have two things from China in his system and they're both bad there's not a coincidence doesn't that feel like the simulation is winking at you it's like the biggest trigger point maybe that we've ever seen as in terms of a single issue single you know event that lasted nine minutes that changed the world one of the odds that that single moment that changed everything at the same time

[34:13]

that changed everything at the same time that we're experiencing a pandemic caused by China at the same time we're having an economic dislocation also caused by China what were the odds that that person who was the flash point for everything had in his body the two most visible variables of China's complete evil what a weird coincidence now it's not a meaningful it might not be meaningful in terms of explaining what happened sort of an unknown I would say that having fentanyl in your body on top of whatever other drugs on top of police being on your chest and on your neck on top of any excitation from the situation on top of you know whatever underlying health conditions yeah there's a lot of variables involved but one of the odds of fentanyl would be one of them I don't know I think the simulation is winking

[35:15]

know I think the simulation is winking at you and telling you that hey hey everybody hey everybody there's another level there's another level I can't tell you what it is because even if I did it's too soon you have to be ready you know the the the foundation has to be poured before you can enjoy the next level of awareness I can't tell you what it is but wink wink wink wink alright so somebody says I have not and I will not wear a mask so is that anybody who has been watching my periscopes for a while alarmed about some of my books being upside down on the shelf behind me if any of you noticed that some time ago one of the books was upside down and then later it was right-side up but then the middle

[36:17]

was right-side up but then the middle book was upside down and yesterday I got a message from somebody said he drives me crazy with that upside down book yeah my OCD is is getting triggered can you can you put the wind Bigley book right-side up so I said yes because if somebody asked me for something like that of course I'm going to but I have to turn the other book upside down because I wanted to see how many if you noticed well now that I've admitted that I was doing it intentionally now of course that is an example of persuasion and I did it so that I could call it out later once I was was it was done if any of you noticed it and it made you spend some time wondering about it that's all it was supposed to do it was supposed to make you pause and wonder because the more attention you give me no matter you know as long as it's positive attention even negative attention sometimes is

[37:18]

even negative attention sometimes is sort of a bonding process so the more you think about somebody the more important they seem the more likely you're going to check their content down to the next time you see it yeah yes so this is a simple technique of using something that's intentionally wrong to draw your attention now I've talked about in the past most of you've heard it I wrote about it in Wind Bigley as well that the president's tweets often have a misspelling you know for example recently instead of stopped he he typed stooped it's got to be stooped now well I don't think that he makes that kind of mistake intentionally so unlike my situation where I intentionally turned a book upside down to create a mistake I don't believe that the mistakes you see in the president's tweets are intentional they're just tight bumps they're just

[38:19]

they're just tight bumps they're just typos maybe gets a fact wrong I mean it's just normal stuff but he doesn't delete them and the fact that he doesn't delete them and simply just retweet it with the correct words is telling you something it's a decision wouldn't Barack Obama leave a typo in a tweet would Barack Obama leave a typo in a tweet if he could just delete it did somebody report somebody always points it out right away right in the first five minutes after a presidential tweet probably 60 seconds into a into the tweet somebody's going to tell the president oops you got a typo Barack Obama would fix it because he'd want to look professional he'd want to present himself as a you know person whose cares about the details that would be his part of his brain and president Trump would

[39:20]

of his brain and president Trump would see a typo and say quite reasonably this typo is gonna make people look at this tweet the typo even though it's an accident added something it's an addition it's not a subtraction it's an addition because what he wants when he sends a tweet is your attention why would he tweet if he doesn't want you to pay attention do you remember that fascinating tweet that Barack Obama sent no you don't cuz Barack Obama never sent a tweet that you would remember in fact you probably didn't remember for five minutes when you ever you saw it how many tweets of president Trump's do you remember at least you know conceptionally not the exact words probably a lot coffe Fe for example just to pick one probably a lot so the president is operating at a higher level of awareness this is what I told you in 2015 is what I noticed immediately about

[40:22]

2015 is what I noticed immediately about him he's operating on a persuasion level which means that when he tells the fact that the fact checkers say no that fact is not right does he know it's not a fact he knows it doesn't matter he knows it doesn't matter that's what you need to understand he knows it doesn't matter as long as the facts he's alleging are directionally useful meaning he's persuading you quite obviously and transparently toward a policy or a situation which he can describe all of its benefits there's nothing really hidden about that and so if he if he uses a fact that doesn't pass the fact-checking and he gets called out on it all the smart people operating at a lower level of awareness say what's wrong with you are you crazy are you stupid why are you not correcting these obvious mistakes and the reason is Trump operates at a higher

[41:24]

the reason is Trump operates at a higher level of awareness if you hate him it's hard to hear I know it's really hard to hear if you hate him but a whole big part of why people don't understand why he does what he does and it scares them to death because when you see somebody powerful and and what's more powerful than the presidency when you see somebody powerful and you don't know why they're doing what they're doing how is that not scary really how could you not be scared scared by watching the most powerful person in your world if you America doing things that don't make sense to you scary right so you can completely understand the one half of the half of the country is their hair is on fire they just don't know why he does what he does and the reason is this he knows what matters and he knows what's if you said to me is Trump the very best medical professional

[42:25]

Trump the very best medical professional in the world I'd say probably not it's not something he studied if you say this Trump an expert on any one of a number of you know detailed technical topics I would say no nor does he claim to be experts on those detailed technical topics but there is one thing that Trump is an expert on and I don't even think his critics would disagree he knows he lives it he breathes it he produces it he manages it he spots it he changes it he creates it he knows and he can smell it a mile away that's that hunch thing when the president closed the airports when all of the experts said no no too soon too soon we don't have data what was he operating on the hunch what's another way to describe that same situation he

[43:28]

way to describe that same situation he smelled he smelled the on the entire world he could smell from Wuhan China that's how good he smelled so consider that when you see that the president's executive order prominently asked for a national database on police misconduct what that saying is he knows the data that people are using to make decisions they're using the wrong data and that they are trapped in a delusion he's trapped in a delusion somebody saying who is this guy well welcome whoever asked Who I am you should read win big Li as your introduction to the answer to that question so say what you will about the president I saw Mike service say the other day that that he thinks that Trump

[44:31]

other day that that he thinks that Trump has lost a step with age but not he's not in complete you know breakdown and like Biden is of course there's a big difference now degree with that I think if you're being fair has Trump lost the step with age I'd say yes I would say yes I would say I've lost a step with age as well now one of the things that people don't realize until they become a certain age is that there's a compensation strategy meaning that old people lose certain abilities but they gain other abilities and they use the abilities they've gained to compensate for the ones they know they're losing and so I don't worry automatically about somebody in their early to mid 70s who is looks like they've lost a little bit of a step because that doesn't tell you the whole story because they've got other things going on they've got trusted advisers they've got a lifetime of calling out they have some strong

[45:32]

they have some strong capabilities they can compensate for any and the you know loss of a step so we but but it's fair to call it out it is fair to call it out when when I was saying that Hillary Clinton looked unhealthy you know before she collapsed and was carried away and dragged into a car I've been saying that for months because it looked at it just looked that way to me when I say that Joe Biden appears to have lost his mental abilities far far you know beyond the point where he should have any job really except maybe 7/11 I'm saying that because that's just an observation and I'm trying to be objective that is not based on politics it's just what I see likewise I think I would be a liar or a hypocrite if I were not to call out as Mike Serna did that it looks to me like Trump has lost the step but again

[46:35]

like Trump has lost the step but again you have to look at the big picture I think he's also gained a lot in terms of the capability of how to be a president by being a president I would say that his top advisors on the most important things are extraordinary the most important things being how we deal with other countries and our economy in my opinion those are the top priorities his advisers in those categories Mike Pompeo excellent Steve minuchin excellent Peter Navarro excellent three top advisors those are A+ advisors at least as far as I can tell right you never really know because you can't tell from the outside but from what we can see those are three of the top best most qualified and so far have functioned really at the highest level so far very impressively I would say so do you care the Trump is 74 and he was a little bit sharper at 55

[47:38]

74 and he was a little bit sharper at 55 yeah you should care about that but you have to see it in context to and I will reiterate we should not have presidents were over 70 it's just bad idea it's just adding a risk to something that you didn't need it to add a risk to but here we are we have two choices of candidates over 70 so often we'll have to pick the one you like oh yeah let's talk about Carmel Harris it feels like every day somebody's smart is writing an opinion piece saying well it's got to be calmly Harris its kind of come down to kinda has to be calm lares now I don't know how we can ignore the fact that it's just blatant racism because if a job requirement the vice presidency in this case if the job requirement has a guaranteed racial component and they guaranteed I think guaranteed gender

[48:39]

guaranteed I think guaranteed gender component I don't know if you can call there anything but racism now I get why but I understand why by didn't is doing it and I'll even go further if I were Biden not to do it too I would do it wouldn't you if you were Biden and you were trying to get elected and as long as he's being transparent about it I mean it's racism but it's I have to give them some credit for being transparent Biden is telling the country look I'm gonna be a racist in this decision there's no there's no other word for it if you're requiring a race for a job you're a racist there's no other way to shade that right and and I would I would be insulted if anybody disagreed with that it is explicit racism by the cleanest most obvious definition there's nothing more racist than your race will determine whether you're eligible for a job in the government now I know there's not a

[49:42]

government now I know there's not a legal requirement but Biden said it explicitly and and let me say if I or you were in his situation it's actually a good play it was not dumb it's the smartest most reasonable thing it can do and it has a good intention the good intention is to make the country feel comfortable that it's represented and I don't think there's anything wrong with the intention nothing wrong with the intention so we kind of let it slide and say well the intention is obviously good you know even if you're Republican even if you're Republican and even if you say that's totally racist requiring a race for a job what else is it it's just racist but even the Republicans I think if you talk to them privately would say but yeah it's well-intentioned you might not think it's a good idea you might not like who he pecks but you'd have to admit can we just admit that

[50:45]

have to admit can we just admit that it's well-intentioned it's good strategy to get elected as well well I don't say any bad intention to it whatsoever
so we do expect the Comal will be picked now let me ask you this as you are tapestry of the big red pill starts to come together and you're seeing that you're seeing the the patches of the the tapestry individually here's another patch just throw this on throw this into your thinking when you're starting to see a larger truth revealed over the coming months think about when I told you that Komal Harris would be the VP Peck to be the real president because a Biden's brain think about how long ago I told you that think about me telling you that Trump would be president in 2015 publicly and loudly think about how

[51:48]

publicly and loudly think about how loudly and publicly and repeatedly I told you that the least likely person in the world according to everybody else was going to be your next president I told you that Komal Harris would be effectively the candidate after she dropped out of the race think about that now still could change could be Susan Rice in the end could be things we don't know were happening behind the scenes could be something they found out about common areas that we don't know that it takes her out of the running but at the moment wouldn't you agree that at the moment if you were to pick today it looks like it would become Blair's and at the moment you would all agree that Komal Harris would be if not on day one very soon the most influential person and effectively the president behind the president what do you agree that you didn't agree when I first said it did

[52:49]

didn't agree when I first said it did you so I want you I just want you to put that fact that I called this so far in advance that it approaches magic and I did it twice because calling Trump for president I'm not saying other people didn't so think he would be president I wasn't the one person in the world but I want you to keep those two facts in your head that how far in advance I saw those things developing what I see developing right now is even cooler that's the big red pill it's that it's the big change in your awareness that's happening so if you believed in the old world the old reality that you still live in but it's old and it's it's like an old parachuters it's still comfortable but eventually you're gonna get new shoes and that's coming soon and you were thinking to yourself well I think I live in a rational world where you know

[53:49]

in a rational world where you know rational things happened what rational world allowed you to predict Kamala Harris would be would be the the person was that rational or was that understanding how persuasion works well I would argue that I used a persuasion filter to predict it if you use some other filter and it didn't predict it I take you back to my most fundamental statement about how you should deal with your reality if you have a filter on life in other words the the worldview or the way you're seeing things continues to make you happy and it continues to predict at least happier than you would be otherwise and continues to predict accurately well that's a pretty good worldview it might be false it might not actually be an accurate picture of reality but if it makes you happy and it accurately predicts what's gonna happen

[54:50]

accurately predicts what's gonna happen next in the environment that might be as good as you can do all right because we all have different filters different movies if yours is working I'm not going to talk you out of it in fact I might try yours if it's working now I say that about religion I'm not a believer personally but as I observe people with that filter unreality no matter which religion it is you you notice that the majority people seem to be quite happy about and it gives them a structure in a worldview that is in my opinion far more good than bad yeah yeah they're religious extremists but that feels like more of an excuse for whatever they wanted to do anyway so somebody says identity politics predicted it identity politics predicted that that they would have started with that the identity politics predicted that Biden would not have gotten this far so there had to be

[55:50]

have gotten this far so there had to be something else that predicted it would become lares all right so it's a little more complicated than that but yes identity politics is is certainly would have signaled there's somebody like calmly Harris would be in the final mix so I think identity politics would have accurately predicted what the primaries look like right because you had pretty good representation women and minorities and the primaries it would not have predicted Joe Biden so there's something else going on here there's something else is apart I claim something some vision on all right ah all right somebody says she was always the choice I think that's true somebody says Camilla is not popular with the black population so it's a bad prediction let me ask you this given the

[56:51]

prediction let me ask you this given the current protests the current situation and the enemy of the people consistently telling you that Trump is a racist it doesn't matter it doesn't matter if comel Harris is popular with black people doesn't matter at all that they're gonna vote the same way anyway because they're voting against Trump camel hair Assembly has to exist and not be Trump that's good enough nobody's gonna care about that did you predict it Van Jones comments on Trump's crime initiative I haven't seen his comments on Trump's crime initiative so so since I haven't seen it I can predict it even though it's already happened right I'm gonna say that Van Jones says that he didn't go far enough let me look it up tell me in the comments if that's right I my guess is that Van Jones said step in the right

[57:52]

that Van Jones said step in the right direction didn't go far enough let's see Van Jones what was it the crime initiative did you say or was it the police thing I think it was more about the police I may be on the wrong topic here so so this is the first headline step in the right direction how did I do what what did I predict now of course you don't know that I didn't see this before so if you're if you're skeptical I'll tell you again something that you can always depend on with me now you might not trust it but I'm gonna say it anyway if I tell you directly I am not lying about this I'm not lying about that all right I've never in my life said something that directly that

[58:54]

life said something that directly that was just just a lie I don't even think I could now you know if there's some some time you see me you think I have left a part of the story or something that might be true I wouldn't do it intentionally but I could leave out something unintentionally but I'm not gonna look right at you and just and just lie to you and I'm telling you I did not see any news whatsoever about Van Jones in fact I didn't even check the news page page actually I I did I did open a page but didn't read it he missed an opportunity it was too political it started off with a lot of unity and they moved into a politics and created stuff that people are going to fight about
it's a powerful step the Van Jones says the speech I don't give it a high rating but the executive order is a step in the right direction so how did I do now that can you interview in Coulter I don't

[59:57]

can you interview in Coulter I don't know if that's the right combination I mean I think Ann Coulter is one of the most talented writers in America maybe the most you know I'm just using the top five Matt Taibbi I put in that category but there she's just one of the finest writers I've ever seen I don't agree with all of her opinions but that's what makes it fun I just don't think we're right that era like it would be fun and I would certainly enjoy it but I don't know if the audience needs us to talk that doesn't feel like I'd rather talk to Charlamagne tha God how much would you like to see me in an interview doesn't matter which way it goes him interviewing me but it in a conversation how much would you like to see me in a conversation with Charlamagne tha God to rip a hole in the fabric of reality I don't think that'll

[1:00:57]

fabric of reality I don't think that'll happen but I think you'd enjoy it all right that would be a better combination so much for today and I'll talk to you later
