Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 47.522 Scott Adams

to see you if I sound like I'm slurring my speech I am I've got a little bit of paralysis on one side and also my meds make me so dehydrated that I can barely move my tongue so forgive me for that please and prepare for the simultaneous sip this is coming up once we get 1,000 people, which will happen very quickly. Make sure you have your beverage. Beverage. All right. 1,000 people. It's time.

48.764 - 73.137 Scott Adams

I know why you're here. You're here for the simultaneous sip, and all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tank or chalice or sign, 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 of the dopamine of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now.

0

78.183 - 111.676 Scott Adams

That's some good sipping right there. Good sipping. Well, let's start out by saying happy fake insurrection day, January 6th. Do you remember when you thought it was ridiculous to imagine that Democrats would be playing complicated hoaxes on the public? It didn't seem like anything that could actually happen, right? And then you found out about the Russia collusion hoax.

0

111.696 - 138.25 Scott Adams

Oops, it turns out they can run a major hoax against the country. Then you found out about the fine people hoax. And you said to yourself, How is it even possible that the mainstream media went along with that hoax? How is that even possible? And then again, you said to yourself, wow, I didn't even think that could happen. But there's two examples where it happened.

0

139.091 - 159.035 Scott Adams

And then the one that is the biggest FU in the world is that the January 6th insurrection hoax. Now, if you're new to this, and maybe the first time you've heard me talk about it. Here's how you know that the January insurrection hoax was a hoax.

159.796 - 194.086 Scott Adams

Now, what I'm talking about is the hoax that Trump knew that he lost the election and the people he sent to the Capitol to protest also knew that the election was clean, but they were trying to overthrow the country. Now, that entire hoax depended on nobody in the mainstream media, nobody, asking the people who attended the protests why they were there.

195.108 - 224.028 Scott Adams

And they would have found out that not a single person believed that it was a clean election and they were hoping to overthrow the government. It was the biggest assumption that drove the entire hoax and not one Not one legitimate, legitimate, not one mainstream media ever took a protester in and said, did you really believe that the election was clean? Because none of those existed.

224.048 - 245.919 Scott Adams

Every person who was there, I'll bet you, plus Trump himself, I'll bet you, believed that they were seeing an obviously rigged election and they wanted to slow things down until they could be sure it had not been rigged. Now that narrative got reversed by the hoaxers.

246.86 - 272.497 Scott Adams

The hoaxers knowing, this is actually a good technique by the hoaxers, the hoaxers knew that if they could get there first with their narrative and say that, no, he knew it was a good election, he was just trying to overthrow the country. If they could do that and they could ram it down our throats every day, especially with the help of Hollywood theatrical people.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of January 6th in the context of political hoaxes?

502.692 - 531.941 Scott Adams

childhood vaccine schedules with international consensus, which a lot of people think was probably the more conservative and safer way to do it, while strengthening transparency and informed consent. Now, every part of that sounds good so far. He says the decision to change the schedule protects children, respects families, and rebuilds trust If it works out, yes, absolutely.

0

532.942 - 565.939 Scott Adams

So I'm a little unclear on the changes themselves, but what I read online is that they would go from 84 to 88 doses for a child, which would be given basically very soon after birth, down to around 30. Now, presumably... that number of ones that got cut from the 80s down to 30 were the ones that the science suggests might be a problem.

0

565.959 - 591.682 Scott Adams

I think we're still in the territory of we can't be 100% sure how these all work together or which ones were the problems. But if you took a good, let's say, rational scientific whack at it, And you thought, okay, we don't know how all this works together. But these bunch are the ones that have all the signals.

0

591.702 - 623.208 Scott Adams

So if we remove the signals, but don't remove the parents' ability to get those when they want, it just wouldn't be required. That feels like really playing the odds right. So here's what I'm hoping. It's too soon to know if this will maybe change the autism rates or change something else. Because maybe the data was bad. Maybe the one that was the problem is still in the mix.

0

623.949 - 640.153 Scott Adams

We don't know for sure. But it looks like exactly the right process. You know, I always talk about a system is better than a goal. Well, the goal would be to protect all the children. The system would be that we

640.741 - 669.955 Scott Adams

make sure we have the best science and we're looking at it continuously and all that but what i wanted to add to this this is so much in the category of something that only trump could have gotten done and when i say only trump obviously it required a rfk junior trump is the is going to go down in history if this works out oh my god there's not going to be any question

670.306 - 699.216 Scott Adams

was the best president of all time well he would just remove all doubt and what i like about this in particular is that i've said this for years and i love it that trump has a unique ability to build a pirate ship when you need a pirate ship right so he brought on you know one of the most famous names in democrat politics rfk jr and

699.432 - 725.676 Scott Adams

put him in a high-risk situation, and he has so far, in my opinion, performed beautifully. Now, no other president could have done that because they didn't know how to build a pirate ship. And when I say pirate, I don't mean in a negative way. I just mean a collection of people that would not normally be on the same team working in the same direction, but he makes it work.

726.01 - 753.06 Scott Adams

And so watching Kennedy not just change a goal, but to change the entire system that got us to where we are is just breathtaking. It's just breathtaking. And only Trump could have done that. And I think only RFK Jr. could have gotten as far as we've gotten so far. So full standing ovation for that. But again, we'll have to see.

Chapter 3: How does the mainstream media contribute to political narratives?

753.981 - 792.344 Scott Adams

We'll have to see if it works out. but everything looks smart. Well, I saw in the Mays account on Axe, he was reposting a compilation made by Rabian. I want to give credit to him. But Rabian is one of these online, what do you call it, online memers, I guess, and was reminding us that back in 2024, and it seems so funny now, that the Harris-Walls team was sending out a memo to start calling J.D.

0

792.404 - 817.375 Scott Adams

Vance weird. Do you remember that? And they wanted to basically paint Vance and everybody who's a Trump supporter as weird. And you see the compilation. You can see how forced it was. And you can see, obviously, they had talking points. Now, does that even happen on the right?

0

819.999 - 844.932 Scott Adams

Obviously, pro-Trumpers often will say the same thing as other pro-Trumpers, but I'm not aware of anybody getting a memo to do it. Usually, if somebody hears something that works, they say, oh, that sounds good, so I'll just say it too. But I don't think it happens on both sides. If I'm wrong about that, let me know. I've never seen it.

0

849.772 - 878.597 Scott Adams

So, as a student of persuasion, as I am, it made me wonder, who came up with the idea? It's obvious that the campaign was probably the one who said, do this. But who came up with it? Was it a professional? Here's what I think it was. Now, this would be speculation. I think the Democrats, feeling like they're not good at persuasion, hired somebody who claimed to be good at it.

0

879.522 - 905.749 Scott Adams

And the people that they hired, again, just speculation, would try to use science to back what they were recommending. And one of the things that science consistently shows is that conservatives don't like icky stuff. If something is non-standard, conservatives just go, and that is sort of built into their brains and almost something they can't change.

906.607 - 936.377 Scott Adams

So the idea here would be that somebody said, aha, if you look at the science, the thing that would turn off other voters on the Republican side is to know that they were backing something weird. And so far, that actually tracks with what I would recommend about persuasion if I were on their team. But why didn't it work? Because it definitely didn't work.

936.948 - 965.638 Scott Adams

And I speculate that it didn't work because it was so stunningly unnatural. It was so obviously a talking point and not something that they were feeling in any important way. And nobody cares about weirdness just as a free-floating idea. So I think the inauthenticity of it made it impossible to work.

967.424 - 997.043 Scott Adams

But then, as I've talked about at length, time goes by and they came up with the idea, or maybe Mamdani did, of talking about affordability. Now, when anybody talks about affordability, either side, that connects. So that was probably a real good play. Trump had to, but here's the flaw in their plan. Trump has probably had enough time

997.597 - 1020.769 Scott Adams

that he could address enough affordability issues that it would sort of take it off the table a little bit. And his technique of going directly at energy prices as a way to make basically everything less expensive, he has time to make that work. So he knew right away, and he tried to co-opt it,

Chapter 4: How are LG robots changing household chores?

2515.72 - 2546.641 Scott Adams

Now, that's a true statement, wouldn't you say? That if you're on X, even though X is the free speech champion of the world, that you still get in your bubble. So it does form bubbles. There's no way around it. And I do think that if you got all of your sense of what the public wants from X, probably would be distorted because, you know, even Vivek would be in a bubble of some kind.

0

2547.162 - 2579.315 Scott Adams

Not of his choosing. It might not be the bubble he wants, but it just happens because of the way algorithms work. But here's my question to Vivek that he will never see. what is a better way to get to the truth? At the moment, there's nothing better than X. And I always say there's nothing close. I wouldn't trust AI, maybe someday, but I don't trust it now. I wouldn't trust the mainstream media.

0

2579.335 - 2615.76 Scott Adams

I wouldn't trust, well, anything. So while his concern seems spot on, I'd love to know what he thinks is the alternative. What alternative is there? We'll see if that lasts. According to the FDA, well, not according to, but the FDA approved a little device you wear on your forehead that gives you some electrical signals and can turn off your depression.

0

2617.377 - 2642.254 Scott Adams

So apparently it's been well tested and passed the FDA's bar. And what it is, it's like a little headband thing that knows exactly where to send these low intensity transcranial direct current stimulation, you know, the TDCS. So it delivers it to the frontal cortex where apparently they know that would make a difference.

0

2643.567 - 2671.11 Scott Adams

so here's my question well and it's it's being compared to pills which we don't see as a good treatment for depression so if it's better than pills and apparently this the early studies are stunningly successful we'll see what the long-term effects are but apparently there's a long-term effect so it doesn't just work while you have it on it's reprogramming your brain

2672.17 - 2704.853 Scott Adams

Now, why I think this has a good chance is because pills don't work. Not everybody can take a walk and touch a tree and get better. It has just a huge impact, apparently. So I'm just being optimistic. That might be a big thing in the future. Well, Ars Technica is reporting that in California, my silly state, there's a new law that just took effect about privacy.

2705.895 - 2741.109 Scott Adams

Apparently, as of January 1st, California has to be opted out of whatever services there are that collect data and sell it. So I guess it's CalPrivacy. So is that good or bad? I can't tell. You know, it seems like a good intention thing. that would give people control over their own data. That sounds good, right? But will AI suffer? Does it make AI not work for you?

2741.89 - 2766.179 Scott Adams

What if AI knew me because I didn't report this stuff, but it didn't know you because you did? Would AI work better for me because it would know all my habits? And would there be a black market that popped up They would just fill the space where the legal stuff became illegal. And so they just say, well, black market it.

2767 - 2807.02 Scott Adams

So there might be some unintended consequences, but I'm going to be optimistic about that too. All right. Here's an interesting story. As you know, or maybe you don't, that Steve Hilton is running for governor of California. Now, you might be aware that it's a very difficult thing for a Republican to get elected as governor in our current situation in California. So how do you break through?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the new childhood vaccine study by RFK Jr.?

3052.067 - 3082.166 Scott Adams

I don't know. But think again how important it was that we dodged the Biden slash Harris administration, at least for the current term. This could have only happened under Trump. The surging is exactly the right thing. It's what the public wants. It's what the situation demands. Only Trump?

0

3082.186 - 3108.772 Scott Adams

Well, in energy news, according to New Atlas, there's a company that's asking for some kind of government approval that I believe they will get to take the type of nuclear reactors that are already in naval ships and have been operating for 70 years without trouble and to use that design for domestic energy production.

0

3109.893 - 3132.017 Scott Adams

Now, I don't know if you remember this, maybe I started 10 years ago talking about how nuclear should be bigger and should be more of a focus. And one of the things that Mark Schneider taught me at the time was that we already had a design that was used in the military, the Navy especially, and it didn't have problems.

0

3132.436 - 3153.395 Scott Adams

and you could build them small, and they would be driving battleships and stuff like that. Now, I think the first part of the request, and it's really sort of a two-parter, is that the company wants to take the existing nuclear processors that are on ships, but only the ones that are being decommissioned.

0

3154.697 - 3161.683 Scott Adams

So if they're being decommissioned anyway, you don't want to waste a perfectly good nuclear reactor, right?

3162.052 - 3187.502 Scott Adams

so they want to take those and presumably modify them and stuff but use them they would take them off the ship so they wouldn't be using them on the ship they would take them off the ship and repurpose them but here's the good part they also want to build new ones because it wouldn't be enough you know there wouldn't be enough there would be yeah submarines they're in submarines

3187.853 - 3215.802 Scott Adams

uh wouldn't be enough decommissioned ships to do that to make much of a dent so they want to take the design that's been proven over 70 years and it would cost about somewhere in the two billion dollar range to create a modular reactor versus what we see with the big nuclear with the big reactors which could be you know tens of billions of dollars so it's smart

3216.98 - 3256.293 Scott Adams

It's well proven and it's economical. And I think they only need approval from the Trump administration to do this sort of thing. So again, optimistic. Speaking of optimism, one of the products that the Consumer Electronics Show is a leaf blower, an aerospace-powered quiet leaf blower that causes noise by 70%. Do you know what a plague the leaf blowers are in high-end neighborhoods?

3257.755 - 3285.788 Scott Adams

Oh, I hate to be like a rich person complaining, but there's at least one to two days every week where it becomes impossible to take a nap or anything because either your own gardener is right outside or your neighbor's gardener is right outside. And it's so freaking loud. Now, you might say, I'll bet that's expensive. I'll bet your gardener is not going to want to pay for that.
