What is the current state of America?

Scott Adams 0:00
Old America is looking stronger than I've seen it in a long time. So there's that. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker, chalice, a stein, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Oh, that's good. That's some good stuff right there. Well, I didn't get you a gift for January 6th, but I feel like we can still celebrate, can't we? That's a good day. Well, I've got some science stories.
Scott Adams 0:54
We've got some political stories. We've got some January 6th stuff and some Trump effect stuff. But here's starting with a little bit of a study. According to SciPost, written by Vladimir Henry, testosterone spikes are linked to stronger political opinions in men. That's right. When men have higher testosterone... their political opinions harden and they get more certain and more forceful. Now, could they have saved money by doing something where they could get the same answer, but they wouldn't have to do this study? Well, they could have just asked me because That's pretty much what testosterone is. If somebody said, what's testosterone, Scott? I'd say, well, you know, it has a variety of benefits to your health.
Scott Adams 1:51
But in terms of what it's going to do to you, it's going to make your opinions more forceful and you're going to chase them harder. I thought everybody already knew that. Did we really need to do that in the study? Well, I don't know. I'll bet you if you measured the testosterone of the January 6th protesters during the height of the protest, I'll bet you would have found their testosterone was pretty high. I'll bet you would. And I'll bet if you measured them while they were in prison, except for today, they might be happy today, it probably would have been lower. So winning makes your testosterone higher.

Let's call it a half. Now, I suppose Democrats said the same thing about Trump after, you know, the first term, but that's pretty bad. That's pretty bad. All right. Let's talk about, uh, Let's talk about January 6th. Kyle Cheney is posting on X that the Department of Justice revealed that it declined 400 cases that the FBI recommended for protesters at January 6th, the original, to be charged. The Department of Justice... said no to 400 extra ones that the FBI thought should be charged when their only crime was entering the restricted perimeter. Their only crime was entering the restricted perimeter when the gates were torn down. And the FBI tried to get 400 of them into the legal system through that. Well, thank goodness the Department of Justice said that's too far.
Scott Adams 4:03
And I think Molly Hemingway is pointing out that the FBI is obsessed by this. Don't you want to know who in the FBI was in charge of recommending that these 400 people be destroyed by the Department of Justice? So much so that the Department of Justice said, ah, no. We're not even going to do that. We have questions. Who exactly thought that was a good idea? Because whoever you are, to me that sounds like it was completely political. I mean, 400 people? Remember I told you that Republicans would be hunted? Well, I don't think it's more obvious than 400 people that the Department of Justice couldn't even bring it on themselves to charge them. So, yeah, FBI, you got a big problem. As you know, Biden gave one of the, I think it's the nation's highest award to a civilian and included Liz Cheney, who was on that select committee, January 6th select committee. And remember that she hid exculpatory evidence about Trump. And remember, she did something like witness tampering. Molly Edmingway was talking about this as well on X. And is that illegal?
Scott Adams 5:31
Is it illegal if you're just on some January 6th select committee? Is it illegal to tamper with a witness? I mean, it would be if it were a legal trial. But is it illegal if it's a political process? I don't know. Hiding exculpatory evidence, again, I don't know if that's illegal. But if it had a big impact on the country, it's as bad as you can imagine. It's pretty bad.
