This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
The buff bottle good morning, everybody and welcome yes, once again to the best thing, that's ever happened. It's called coffee with Scott Adams. Now I dunno, if you've noticed the regular viewers that, if I tell you you're, going to have a good day, it will make it more likely why, because reality is subjective, you might have exactly the same amount of problems. But if you come here every day- and I tell you, it's going to be great it'll be a little bit greater as far as you can tell, and that's all that matters now. How would you like to take this experiment up a notch? It's called the simultaneous sip and the
there's plenty of science to suggest indirectly that it might make your day better, but I guarantee it and all you need is a cup or a mugger Gaza dagger challenges. I began to Alaska vessel that guy fill it with your favorite liquid. I, like
now join me for the unparalleled pleasure that dopamine the day, I think, makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it will be sipped around the world. Now go exactly as in the comments. If I may read, this comment is the best thing
that's ever happened to me. Lot of people would put it in the top ten, but I think it properly belongs in
top three. I will allow that the birth of your children, possibly your wedding day if things went well, could be better days. Maybe maybe, if those things were perfectly, you know I was saying the bad version of all those things are still worse than the good version of coffee. It was Scott Adams, but the best I'll give you I'll give you that the best version
if those things we'd have a little bit of an edge. Well, here's an update, beep beep, beep, beep, beep, beep beep, it's a fake news update. Do you remember, do you remember the
story about the guy who wanted to vote back in two thousand and twenty he wanted to vote, but he could not find any way to get it
government id here's update on that story. These, he still doesn't exist, still doesn't exist
okay, alright, next item. How would you like me to fix fake news? I mean actually, do it like right here, I'm going to perform a magic trick, you're ready, I'm good, I'm going to describe an app or maybe maybe it's a process that doesn't have to doesn't have to be an app. It could be something that gets the same thing done and it goes like this number one. How much do you dislike
commercials on your television. I think you don't like them at all. Wouldn't you wish that if you were watching live tv, where you can't fast forward
that you could have something entertain you during the commercials and yet here's the key and yet have this
It entertains you, during the commercials, be on the same topic or within the same field as the show you were just watching, and so I submit to you what I call news buddies, what it is, it's a live stream
could be on a nap, but it could be just live stream. That is at the same time as the live network, broadcasts or cable broadcast of see. You then Fox NEWS Msn.
and so, if you're watching any of those shoot shows, you can have a call up on your other device
so, let's say, you're, watching the news on your television cause you're a certain age. You watch a television and you call up here
phone, a little, a a real person who had exactly
same time for you and other people watching the same show
We'll be you a little news, buddy it'll be like
avatar that just answered your phone and is completely silent, mostly during the actual broadcast. The moment, the broadcast moves to a commercial,
You can silence your tv and
as the little news buddy say you know the story, you just watched, that's kind of fake.
because it's a little bit out of context. Here's what they left out.
Will and what would you rather do? Would you rather listen to the commercial.
Would you would you rather listen to the commercial, or would you rather listen
somebody tell you what was wrong with what you just watched, which
More entertaining because that's all that matters right
now, let's say it's free going to be, can usually be freight
because if you put it on, let's say on Youtube, you could have the maybe the commercials run. I he
this makes the commercials run on your buddy app at a different time as the ones on the tv so that you never get commercials at the same time. I think he could do that, but you could do it on an app. If you build it yourself.
And so, therefore, you wouldn't have to listen to the commercial. Maybe it's just running and video doesn't have any sound while the news buddy is talking now
say they. You dont like one of the news bodies, because it looks like that's another propaganda. You pick another one and other people can judge the other news bodies and and pick one you like. So there should be as somebody who and by the way they wouldn't be any copyright problem, because the
whose body would not be showing the screen. You would have to have your own suppers dream foresee an end or whatever it is you want it now.
the news. Buddy doing a little fact checking while they live news is on, and then the news buddy could even hold on that gets better. Send you links to the fact checks, huh
in real time in real time? So you a little news buddy as soon as it goes to commercial. It says you know what they said about climate change. Well, some people say that that's not true. Here's a link you'd be like seriously. I totally believe that there's a length that says the opposite,
thing now how many senior citizens how many senior citizens could handle
The news body on the phone plus the tv are ok over
Certain age I'll give you that it would decline in usability.
But it's also over the certain age that they're not as active in anything. So you tell me that people in their fifties and 60s can't handle opening an app.
the phone I say, though, of course again, so the people that you really tried to reach, even the older silent, can absolutely turn on the simultaneous app. That's not even hard. So.
So, you're something that I would like to give you as a general concept.
If I had told you before you'd ever heard of something called a jury trial that I was going to design this justice system, where twelve of your peers would be selected and then vetted by lawyers and we'd have all this checks and balances and the judge and but ultimately there'd be twelve. People would decide if you go to jail or not. How many of you would have thought that wouldn't work seriously? It'd be be honest with yourself if the jury system that never existed- and somebody described it to you, so they got this great idea. Would you think that was going to work? Really, I dunno some of you, maybe maybe better than the alternatives. What about the Supreme Court? You would think of all the all your problems with the Supreme Court. All of the complaints you have if seventy had described the Supreme Court before anybody knew it ever existed.
it's a whole new idea. Would you have heard that and said yeah? I think that's going to last at least two hundred years. People will find that very credible. I dunno, maybe maybe you would have thought it was better than the other ideas. So yeah that'd be good enough.
I'm not sure that we're so smart that we know that we can't engineer systems to
At least make a satisfied that we've done the best job we can so what
the other day about, could you have a Supreme court of fact checking? How many of you said you can't do that cuz, then the fact checkers would just be you know, bought off by somebody, and then you think of all the reasons why
at work. I get that every every one of the reasons why you why you offer that that wouldn't work, if you designed it incorrectly yeah you're right, it wouldn't work, but don't underestimate the ingenuity of the public to design something that does work even if we get it wrong. You know ninety nine to twenty times. If you just keep chugging along, you can get something that works so well.
When I talk about this, the news buddy APP, the only thing I'm trying to to transmit is that you'd be surprised how many thorny impossible seeming problems can be solved. If you just chug along and try enough things doesn't mean, this will be the solution to have a little news buddy, because you know the obvious
it's like this. They become corrupted blah blah blah, but we do have a history of solving problems that I would say are like. This is in the sense that you can't imagine how you could get the bias and the and the criminality out of it, but we seem to largely be able to fix,
Sussex just takes a while. So I dunno if the news buddies away, but some pool could probably fix the fake news. I don't think what's going to fix, it is competing platforms, as my best guess do you do you think that the fake news will ever be fixed by somebody coming up with a competing platform? That's, oh, that's all the Good NEWS.
will watch that one instead doesn't feel like it right, and so since we've tried that in fact you should we not try something else right. So somebody cleverly saying so when did you create this news? Buddy app? It would have been smarter to develop the app before giving you the idea, but I feel like it's more about the concept of designing systems that work. It's not even about the app that I do have that much interest in that kind of that, but it was good
Yes, it was a good question. What does the coolest things about being me? If I can be all about me for a moment and why, wouldn't I be.
Is that every now and then I'll wake up and just something cool happen? That's just so cool you can barely contain yourself, and you didn't know you coming just his coming.
I was curious about something related to a story. I'm gonna talk about later in a in an order to talk about that other story, about an author being cancelled. I wanted to google myself and see if it was the highest rated thing about me to see if it was negative or positive.
and took a bear to this other story, and I discovered that something like three days ago. There was a story that the Dilbert Comic is going to be featured in a we're already is in a Rick and Morty episode, and I guess they go to alternative universe or something and they going to have universe where there's a a dilbert world.
And there are the desks- are either the people or something, and the ears was weird. So this was four days ago. Actually this was published. How in the world did I not know about this for four days? How in the world could there be a Rick and Morty episode all about Dilbert? It took four days for me to figure that out and I had to find it myself. Nobody knows
You mentioned that to me. None of you, nobody really serious. There is now one of you there's no one of you who already do that and thought dimension. It
come on. I rely on you to try to tell me the obvious stuff for days that I didn't know that now call my age and I don't have an agent for that kind of stuff. I have an agent for my books.
I have another general agent, so here's what I'd like to say, Rick and Morty, is just about the best thing on television and being featured in that, even even if they market, I haven't seen it so they
and I dunno, if they, if they treated like a cultural icon or they treated mockingly, is a way is fine with me, because I'm such a fan of the show might somebody says: biologist, doesn't watch Rick and Morty and what's wrong with you, you should yeah, that's it for I I would say it's my favorite animated show of all time. Could I say that yeah cause? I think I can say that I think it's my favorite anime.
show of all including my own. Well, finally, the by the and Congress has passed.
an anti lynching bill and I'm hoping this will maybe stop. The tide is rising. Problem of lynching, which I don't believe has happened
a long time and I don't know anybody who's opposed to a bill against lynching. You could argue that the states already did it, but I don't mind that the government yeah the federal government, makes it official. If you could say that you know, I would say. Maybe
Wasn't the most important thing we were working on. Social is easy. You know we didn't cost anything. Ok, I mean I I feel like it was unnecessary work. So I'm not sure I would have done it solves a problem that doesn't really exist but as a message anything sure I agree with the message so
It costs too much and I'm not going to hate it. But I wonder, was anyone on the other side of that argument like who I mean.
Everybody who took the other side of this argument was really not playing this right, because
You know, and I understand you might say something like
Oh, we already have laws. Why waste our time? I get that, but don't say it don't say it. I understand if you think it, but how in the world, could this be
politically smart to be the one who gets singled out for being against it. It's such an obvious trap.
Here's a? I would have played it if I were in Congress and so that, just so I don't get caught in this year against the anti lynching bill, I would have been more forth and then
If I would have been for digging up people who had been for it just to kill them again, I mean I would have been so for it. If they ever talked to me I'd say: are you kidding, unlike the number one person in favor of this, which would make sense cause? I have identified as black.
for a while, but I noticed a trend, and can you tell me If-
Is bias, or is this real okay,
just something I observe so there's no science to it? There's no data to it just sorta. My observation does this evening.
The Democrats are tough on crime when the crime isn't one. That's actually happening. Am I wrong about that? I mean we got the Lynch lynching they're, tough, on lynching, which, thankfully, is basically not happening. If it ever does happen, yeah I mean we should go as hard on whoever does such a horrible thing as we can.
What is interesting that they would pick that is where they'd be tough on crime. Do you remember when the Democrats thought Russia collusion was real, while they were pretty tough on that Wednesday? They were tough on crime, that oh wait, a minute that didn't exist yeah, so there
in that crime that doesn't exist there also tough on a lot of crimes of people. Thinking things wrong. So, if you're thinking things wrong, the really tough on that.
I feel, as if Democrats are not really understanding the whole tough on crime concept and where to apply it and when not to apply it. Is it just me and it feels like a trend or a pattern? Maybe just my imagination,
apparently the number of workers in the workplace, which is exactly where the workers should be. If you see a worker, not in the workplace, send them back. They belong in the workplace, even at lunch. We'll have. No.
No goofing off alright, apparently there are more people using drugs in the workplace.
but I was surprised that it's they say. It's risen to four point: six percent of a bunch of people were randomly tested and I thought to myself only four point: six percent: what workplace can you go into and find only four point: six
and are on drugs, and I thought, oh just certain drugs, just certain drugs. If you tested all the people who are on the drug that would affect their performance. How many with Abe that'll be Oliver is just some of them are legal. Some of them are prescribed,
Some of his coffee is booze, but I would guess that seventy five percent of the workforce is
justly changing their brain chemistry through drugs. One way
does mean it's only on the weekend. Maybe it's sugar anyway, Joel Pollack has article in
barks in which she's is about about the reparations efforts in California.
he points out. I never thought of this before the California. Never
then a slave state. So I live in a state. California, that with there never been slaves there, it's always been a free state.
but we're talking about under some kind of committee to come up with a plan for
reparations or to see if it's practical- and they spend quite a bit of time so far and here's what they came up with-
it's just a preliminary like beginning decision to.
Throw other black people under the boss, so progress so far by by activity. That apparently, is largely
black, to decide that only people who can prove they were descended from slavery in America would be eligible for the reparations.
The very first thing that I largely black committee did was find a new way to divide to divide the sign this time. Divided black people in work,
And in so doing they came up with a new standard in which you'd have to be able to demonstrate. You were descended from slaves if, if any reparations, wherever approved
all very preliminary to which I asked the obvious question: is it not discriminatory to ask black Americans to have identification, for
government process, because we know that voting. It would be discriminatory to require a government id, but yet
The committee on reparations believes that the same public they would find it a burden, or at least some of them would find it a burden to get government id.
would be able to plow through and prove through what I do dna or maybe a search of the public records that they had descended from actual slaves in America. I'm not sure this committee is moving the ball forward. If you know what I mean, I think they came up with a standard. This is so provocative that they've reduced the chances of reparations
Am I wrong, I think they just reduced the chest as this could ever happen. Let me tell you what you would have done if you wanted to increase the chance, just find something that Republicans like to that's. It just find something republicans like
for example, about something that would improve education options for everybody, who's low income, which would be very beneficial for the black american community because they find themselves in the deepest hole.
with the education system. So if you say, let's fix the education options, maybe add choice whatever for for everybody, then the republic can say wait, did you say for everybody, then they say yeah and then somebody says, but you know this will disproportionately help the black public because they're in a deeper hole and the Republicans say when Africans care as long as it's applied evenly.
Well. I write that nobody's going to complain if it's applied to everybody evenly that it has an outcome, that's a little biased, that's everything republicans want so make up. It would if it were hard to do it,
I say, don't try, but given that it will be the easiest thing in the world to do just come up with a plan that Republicans like both done bring. The country together fix the biggest source of systemic racism, which is the enact the unequal education system. But if you fix the unequal education system granted, there's whole lifetime of people who aren't going to get that benefit, or are they
maybe maybe do simply with training and adult education is well maybe, but if it is something that people like well, maybe it s something. That's all I'd like to suggest how about this is. Is it possible for Europe not to be drawn for a minute? Don't we all think that we can be drawn better than job now? Here's the problem.
for some things it feels like we could, but there are a whole bunch of things. You know you couldn't yeah when you saw his letter talking about his hole in one that he got and yeah, even even people who are not fans had to admit it was well written. It was just hilarious and on point- and it was a sort of perfect. It was self mocking without
into self mocking. It's just that everything. So as an entertainment and a piece of writing, it was just brilliant in my opening, but then he does this, but then he does this,
Is he so hard to unambiguously like alright? So I'm I'm a fan of course, and I liked him personally when I met him, so I liked the family. They were all very nice to me, so I have only positive feelings about them person
But he got his an interview with, I guess, just the news, John Solomon and he and Trump called on russian president
we're to release any damaging information he has about the Biden?
Kebab,
come on yeah ease, up searches, so Trump is up something like seven points against the whoever runs against him if he were to run as as president again yeah. He has this.
pretty much commanding Lee than situation. The only thing he could do wrong. You say so
I say this as they could be spun as some siding with Russia. It's the only thing you could do wrong and he knows exactly what he's doing. He doesn't fly close to the sun by accident that the. If this look like this look like an accident to you, you haven't been.
I get attention. This was no accident. This was someone saying, watch this yeah yeah yeah watch this I feel like that's all it was
I feel like he just said. Whatever is the most provocative thing he could say there would force people to demand an apology or of verifications which would not, which would not be forthcoming.
So you know when you see the sort of thing juxtaposed with his statement about his whole in one the whole and one statement should give you a tip,
Off of when he is tongue in cheek, but it won't as the people one interpret as entirely entirely serious they're just going to do that. So to me I I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have done it, but would I have been president?
the United States, no, no, probably not so whatever he does keeps working in some ways and then we're all geniuses. When something doesn't
We saw that coming. Why didn't he well
I don't know why you don't world confused a little bit about why things keep working there shouldn't work, but he seems to know how to harness energy
In this case, he created energy on nothing.
Then the energy will come the directive back at him and then because he's an energy monster he'll redirect the energy to his advantage. So first
you crazy energy. Then he has the energy to his enemies. They they they
the energy Adam, hey, hey, hey, look what you said!
He says. Oh, I got more energy back that I gave you. I gave you like ten tonnes of energy. They gave me back two thousand pounds. Thank you. Thank you. Redirect watching him do this in real time is just such a lesson on managing the bubble.
And everything else as well. Even the friendly news sources, the friendly to the Democrat NEWS sources, are noting that the Biden's gaffes are becoming a little bit harder to explain little bit harder to explain, but now and now they've resorted to the ridiculous. This is another Joe Pollock also set this tweet by the way, if you're, not following Joel Pollack on,
twitter, you should be doing the way for me to talk about it way. When the way has descended Biden talking about young Putin should not be in charge.
And sounded like he wanted and removes, but then walked back.
Another saying that that button was speaking is personal capacity and, as Joel points out,
there's no such thing as a president's personal capacity. What what you, maybe in some
weird philosophical way, but not in a real way.
If you are the president of the United States- and you give an opinion about what should happen in foreign affairs- is that your personal opinion? Even if it is your personal opinion, it doesn't doesn't even mean anything when you're the actual president. So as
Is that that it takes somebody to actually say that before you say, oh yeah, there's not really a difference.
I apparently Chris rock- is selling tons of tickets to his stand up, show so
he's, coming out way where
so that we have the weird situation where, unless this was fake news- and I worry that it was
cause I saw somebody else say that he didn't make any statement about it, but I saw a statement that Chris Rock said in which he apologized that happened, or was that fake news that I get taken? My fake news? I think he apologize right. Somebody says
it's fake. Oh really, oh, it was a fake, oh wow, oh okay, the fake news was very good. It was well written, fake,
so, but at least at least I I can smell a little bit enough to ask the question. Wow, ok,
anyway, Chris Rock is coming out ahead because he saw a load tickets. I think people are appreciated that he didn't give violence in freak out.
went on with the show and evolve and even if you think, he's
shouldn't have said what he said.
You're, not really gonna come on down too hard on a comedian being a comedian, especially, I think there was evidence he didn't know about the allocation, which is perfectly believable. So now it was at this stage.
well slap. I'm sure that so Chris Rock comes out ahead. How about Jada Pinkett Smith? Did she come out ahead? I'd say yes, cause. Do you think the women hate it when men defend them like that they don't have that nope nope. They might say that
but but re way that and and would be surprised if she aids, so I think she came out at head, yadda interpersonal level
did she come out ahead in any other way? I would say yes because she is very
she's been classy about not commenting about except, I think she did one meme she posted about being here for the healing
so basically just no comment except one positive one about healing. I guess,
I think she also brought the message about what propecia is and, more importantly, more importantly, how how emotionally disturbing it
for the person with it. It would be really easy for you to say well of all the problems. That's not the big one and by the way, she's rich and beautiful,
and didn't she shaver head till she wanted to anyway. I don't think so. I think probably was always alypius just gas, but
I think she gave it am I wrong. I think she looks good, I think,
a message that she'd like you to understand, which is people suffering from this, probably have more of a suffering. Then you would imagine I think she looks good about
Elizabeth, he got an Oscar. He got a standing ovation. He apologized. Now that's not fake right. There will Smith apologized for the hit. I think he did and I feel as if they won't affect his movies
I don't think so. I feel, like everybody came out ahead head the academy awards
got better ratings, the media got clicks. I had something to talk about you, your energy
Is this the weirdest situation in the world? Literally, everybody came out ahead, I'm not wrong about there. I mean you, Chris Rock, the suffered one.
Lap and then sold four times as many tickets and got rich in and these more relevant than he's ever been, and I dunno it looks like he came out ahead. Some people say they lost respect for Will Smith, but here's the thing with celebrity. It matters more that you
made people like you, then you made people dislike you, because the people who are sort of willing to dislike him- in other words they were you, know, probably lukewarm modern in the first place they weren't going to bias taken.
I thought it was the movies the people were already liked him. I'd, probably like him a little bit more and more likely to buy a ticket. If I had to bet
I don't know: it'll hurt his box office appeal at all. I don't think it will. You might lose some, but then gain so hard to say
Well, Putin, as a apparently refocused his army on the east and people say.
Is this a change in strategy or sign he losing? What do you think? Why is Putin refocusing away from capturing and focusing on the east? Where he's already gotten control, so he's going to consolidate control
why would he do that? Is it because he's losing or is it just good strategy.
and it was his plan all along well,
I would guess that whatever
his plan. All along was it got some modifications, but it might be that they can just ignore a cave until everything else is settled and then go back.
Or or maybe they don't want to keep incurring losses round key, if, if that's, where they're the most losses
So maybe they're just cutting his losses during the time he's negotiating, so it doesn't look like he's losing. I think it looks like he's winning. We don't know. Basically that's the bottom line,
But I'll tell you what the big problem here is in order to make peace. Doesn't one side need to think is losing might be exceptions to that, but general
Figured you don't really get peace until one side thinks it is losing or we'll lose right and the problem is they both think they're, winning so Putin? I think he can make it a very strong case that he's winning at war will win, even though it will cost a lot. I think he make it in case he's winning, and I think that Ukraine is already making the case through there
and that there are winning so Ukraine, gas, ay ay were totally winning this thing, but I will give you lots of things for peace, so you can't ass to make it an offer and the peace deal there reflects their propaganda, and so they did their propaganda says were totally winning this thing, and so they made an offer that you wouldn't have made. Unless you thought you were gonna win the thing and its course point thinks he's wedding. So is not going to accept an offer that suggests the other side's winning.
that's not to happen. So how could you possibly have peace? The only way you can have peace is, somebody has got to lose or be in the direction to lose. It looks like it's going to happen any moment.
Now I heard a term that I had not heard before,
which is what is it called? It's about? The army is getting ready to collapse or
point. So this is Michael Ryan, the former the former deputy assistant secretary of Defense for european and NATO policy, so he thinks he speculates and I don't think this is a widespread opinion yet, but he speculates that the russian Army might be reaching a culminating point. Now, as I understand it, the Idiot explanation of that is you have enough food until you don't and you have enough ammunition until you don't
Don't part can happen suddenly, and then everything falls apart right because because, if you're, if you're, looking at how much ammunition you have is just enough to escape is not enough to attack,
what the hell are you going to do? If you don't know, there's more coming? All you have. Is this much ammunition and you think well, I could probably do it to cover my escape
but I don't think it's going to help me attack everything and it doesn't look like it's going to change. You would instantly go from offense to defense right the same with food. If you have food,
if either, if it's the first day, they tell you, there's no food, you say wait a minute. Did I hear that right, today's or no food day? When does the food come back like? Well, we don't know they keep attacking our food trucks. As a culminating point, I think if I'm in trouble,
brain so the the russian Army, at least in pockets, might be approaching complete disintegration boy, but if it happens, it would happen quickly. Somebody says that
Yeah Kong, a wrap me yeah. It's it's hard to completely understand what people will do to survive. So I suppose they would just start. You know raping the ukrainian countryside, but even that would be the army falling apart, cause even to rape and pillage they'd, probably disperse, so
what do you think if you had to guess, is any significant part of the russian military force near a combination? Point well, I'm guessing now.
If, if, if near means in the next month, I'd say and if it takes longer than that, then rush Russia I'll just find new ways to get supplies, I suppose so.
it looks like it looks like there's something about this situation where everybody can resupply, but if you care resupply quickly or well, maybe you can keep limping along to do a peace deal without without getting here region. Your comment,
point. So here's a story. I read in one publication. I forget, which one, I think was a british publication.
That one of the reasons that Ukraine is doing such a good job is of defense is drones, but not the big ones, not not the kind that come from Turkey and they look like a big rocket. I'm talking about the little ones that
I have a home, so apparently there were some effort in Ukraine. There was fairly advanced to
sort of self organized all the people who knew about drones, military or non military didn't matter, and they form
some kind of a quasi drone air force of small drones and they they were cobbled together in various ways and different models, and
and part of the story said they were having trouble getting parts because of yeah things are banned in certain countries to which I thought that doesn't make sense. Cuz Nate would just give them the parts I mean. If it's a military thing. I can't imagine that those that those restrictions
would be permanent. If we wanted to arm Ukraine, we could certainly get them some hobby drone parts, I think, but the story
Goes that that little unit with the well trained people that were part of it would go out on some.
The four wheeled vehicles at night, they'd have their night vision, small drones spotting stuff and they would blow up the most strategic things. So they blow they. Who is.
prison front and then once they slow things down, they look to pick off you
all set,
officers, and I don't supply trucks and stuff that sort of thing. So, if you can pick and choose after you slow him down, you basically can just stop a whole convoy and it looks like to some extent
Maybe they did not remember. Every story that comes out of this region has to be suspect. It's all propaganda fog of war, but it's what I was expecting to hear. So remember I'll, tell you
this too many times you'll be sick of it. I think I was the only person I know of to be more
But only what I heard saying that the Ukrainians would be unusually effective because of new technology that we had not seen employed before this is that now, if this is true, that's a big if this would be a clear case of smaller drones being deployed in a way that had never been used this effectively before. Yes, small drones have been used for a long time, but not like this. So it's is is more about the way they're using it and effectively building a drone air Force attack unit to
the tragically attack things now. Here's here's the thing that I found fascinating and you wondered how the small drones could get through, because, of course, Russia would have jamming stuff to be able to jam the signal right. But apparently the strategy is they wait for the Russians to launch their own drum
because apparently you can't really have a convoy in twenty twenty. Two with
do your own drones and you would you would.
your own drones, if you send out some kind of suppressing signal, so the Ukrainians would wait for this suppressing signal to be turned off, which means the Russians are launching the roan drones, which means you can watch your drones.
So they've got this whole. You know drone electronic know battle going on. That is
and I say again- I dont know if we're really reading the actual tactics of the thing happening or as total bullshit, it could be like the ghost of Kiev and other ass. It could be complete. Bullshit british yourselves right sounds good.
alright, Ukraine, allegedly and here's another. Maybe bullshit fake news story,
allegedly fired
artillery into russian territory and at least one
poor and I don't think this is confirmed or even reliable and may have been a like a weapons depot or ammunition depot, or something like that quest,
Why is Ukraine waiting so long to attack Russia who made the rule-
the only Russia can attack inside Ukraine, but Ukraine's military, which must have some some capability. Well, why can't they attack Russia? I've never really understood that. Is it because Putin will get mad. I mean he asked the acts like he's kind of a man right now.
a little bit, somebody says no ability, but that seems so unlikely. Are you telling me that they can't even get a terrorist attack into Moscow not recommending? I not recommend ago? I don't recommend violence, but I'm wondering about.
the strategy, because if the problem is that the russian citizens are not getting the message, messenger what's happening over there,
how do you send the message? That's how I'd said that if I were an unscrupulous leader and didn't care about casualties, I would start blowing stuff up in Moscow any way I could through individual agents. You know cause. I gotta be honest. You don't have to blow up things like the twin towers, with spectacular attacks. I am pretty sure cause. I don't want to get into details and you shouldn't either, but with no exaggeration whatsoever, I'm pretty sure I could take out of the city by myself.
Am I wrong it wouldn't be that hard? I don't think I think I actually could. Now I'm not going to tell you how I would do it wouldn't be straightforward, but yeah I mean yeah. It's doable
I don't want to give you ideas, but all
All I want you to do those of you say it can't be done. Just look at the comments from the people say yes
The people say yes of already figured out how to do it. The people the people say now, it's just that you haven't figured out how to do it, and I have never understood why the Islamic, the of the dead, the terrorists,
the extremist. I've never understood why they only do a tax one way, cuz, it's so limiting when they could just take out a whole city for easily nobody doesn't I don't know why.
alright. Well, don't get your ideas for me, but I do
said why Ukraine isn't doing. There must be some strategy behind that.
and
Here's some Disney fake NEWS,
I've been ignoring this whole Florida, don't say.
A bill because it's not really don't say gay, it's so I guess the bills in Florida the schools will not be allowed to teach anything about sexuality, two kids below a certain age is that true did. I did I summarize that correctly, because I'm not really following the story, but that's
basically, okay, people saying yes to that so and ass seems fairly reasonable right. I guess
yeah most parents would say no leave that to us. You know at least up to a certain age, and you know if, if you're teaching a fourteen year old about birth control, then you have my attention right that maybe you can make the argument and I'm not going to make an argument pro or con here. I don't want to get into it, but you can make the argument that the school would be a good way to capture that
because parents are don't do a good job at it. You can make an argument, but it's hard to make an argument that the parents shouldn't be solely in control of the the earliest impressions for something of that importance.
but here's what I'd like to say the and the opponents of that have turned it into a don't say: gay meme. Basically so they're characterizing, the don't, teach our kids anything about sexuality, they're characterizing that as one you're not allowed to say gay, which of course is total misrepresentation but
the misrepresentation is really good, so persuasion, wise, really good. I mean let's just this first,
it's got to say and gay and when you weapons will you put a rhyme and something if the glove doesn't fair to you must equip. We ve talked about this many times. If it's fast and sticky and rhymes in California, they had a thing about putting on your seat belt and it was a click it or take it.
Click it or ticket. These are all good. So, yes, don't say gay. It looks like professional work to me. It could be accidental and then a Koran could be, but it looks it looks professional because it's got technique built into it a little bit more than you,
We see from something that occurs naturally, so I'd say somebody who's got. Some skills came up with that, and I'd say that it probably works.
Now there was a video I saw twitter.
In which a Disney public official of some kind was saying that they're striving to make fifty percent of the characters in Disney content
To be either Lgbtq, I a I don't even know what the I a is anymore and racial minorities, so that between the two categories, they lead like fifty percent of their characters and, of course, people are outraged,
People were outraged because they said you you're, so woke why
it is the. Why must you force you know? Fifty percent
people in your movies to be
we shall minorities and Lgbtq or
I'll offer a reason, it could be that that's exactly what the country is. Could it be?
that what Disney said as yeah. We want our movies to reflect roughly what the country is, which is that that's what the country is here are the actual numbers. Fifty eight percent of the country is white, so Remmers she says. Fifty per cent would be minorities by fifty eight percent white. So you'd say: oh that that's a little high know cause she said:
minorities and Eligibility Q hat what percentage of the population of any population? Let's say the white population is energy is also L, GB, take you away
that's about six percent. So
Do you start with your fifty eight percent or white in America and then you're, not counting six percent of them as being Lgbtqi at about fifty two percent are white and straight, if that's even the word,
And and Disney just said, that's what we're going to make our content just like the people. Now how many of you were offended when you heard they were going to make their content just like the public? Probably some of you am, I right
just because nobody did the math and when you first hear it like whoa. What are they doing? That seems like too high and I think, there's there's a known phenomenon where people are bad at estimating what percentage of things are are in the country? That's a known thing right. This is one of those I and I,
I cheekily tweeted about this, and I said that in related news.
Eighty percent of all sick days in the workplace or on a Monday or Friday. Forty percent. Can you believe that that number-
forty percent of all the people calling in sick or doing it. Coincidentally, on a Friday,
They are a Monday. How about that? Oh wait, Monday, plus Friday would be to enter the five work that is, which is exactly forty
that's right! No! I actually did a Dilbert comic about that. Alright, so.
Here's a story about Alex Epstein author:
he's got a book on the outcome of the moral case for fossil fuels and apparently-
There was going to be a was Washington Post article he was warned about. There was going to try to cancel a man and paid him as a racist, because he thinks there's a immoral,
reason for, or you apparently argues in the book I haven't yet read, but planted that there's a moral case for fossil fuels. Now I think you ve all heard the argument. I would assume that you're gonna get lots of good meet on this, but you ve other people may the argument that fossil fuels are better for the poor and the hour for anybody. I guess it was a good fairy everybody, but the poor especially needed to survive because any
energy, and if you give it another way, you're gonna have to go that way. Now, here's the thing. Do you believe that there is a real thing where the media concludes, or maybe even just one media entity to write a hip peace to take out the reputation of somebody who has a book that goes against the narrative
do you believe? That's real, it's very real
say yes, I wasn't sure if we were all convince. No
very real Bloomberg one of the Bloomberg publications did this to me when I was saying good things about tromp when you starting to get traction so that you can see people getting picked off one by one.
and I survived now- I told you earlier that I googled myself and I was trying to see if that Bloomberg piece was still the top hit
because for years for years one of the I or ii was either top or one of the top news hits was a hippies cause. It was a big publication and it was reason so as the cetera.
But now it's gone away and I wonder if it ever deserves to be there because it went away. I dunno the there weren't that many new things that that were like major news pieces to replace it, but it wasn't.
So these are the things that I wonder about,
I understand that the the
book by Robert F Kennedy, the real Anthony Fauci?
he was also subject to the media colluding to basically ignore that book. I think he had no no book reviews but sold a million books. How do you sell a million books and not get a book review from that one of the major publications exclusion
So I would recommend to you elegance of scenes book it's coming out in May. I guess called the moral case for fossil fuels.
And, like I said, I haven't, read it, but but obviously people have seen advanced copies. There's. Definitely an effort to make sure that whatever is in that book does not,
It is not seen as credible, so you should ask yourself: why would they try to kill a book before it even comes out and the best reason to do it is. That is true. That's the best reason. So I'm thinking that there's some good stuff in there that somebody really wants to die.
Alright, alright, that, ladies and gentlemen, is just about everything I want to say, and I think you'll agree that this this been a a
experience for most of you for some of you. The very best thing will happen day for some of you, others it'll just be the beginning of an amazing day. No, I cannot send your book that you send to me. Do you know it's embarrassing when people ask me to fill out a form, and I tell them- I can't I'm disabled. I tell you that my drawing hand has a focal dystonia, which means there's literally nothing wrong with my hand and I'm still disabled, because the only thing I can do is write with a pen. The only thing I can do I mean I could juggle. I play the drums. I could play any instrument. The hand is perfect. There's nothing.
Wrong with a physically there's a there's, a little mental glitch. That happened because I overused it and then the brain says you can't do that anymore. Then that will let me so I can't eat my hand, won't work when I put a pen in it and put it to paper. It just freezes. So so I draw left handed, but I've never taken the time to learn to write left handed quickly enough that I could fill out a form I mean. If I took forever, I could yeah it's called a focal,
focal dystonia is related to the voice from my head. They often travel in pairs, but thankfully they don't. Thankfully they usually don't go in more than pairs, so I probably I'm probably too ended in all likelihood alright, and we see what's going on here and I- and I will talk to you soon. Thank you very much. Everybody have a good day.
