25.523 - 40.454 Sergio

I know. Look, Hemoholic. Is Beaver here yet? I was going to bring a tankard today for my sip, but I don't know what a tankard is, so I didn't bring it. Someone will have to tell me. I'll ask Grok.

42.537 - 53.713 Scott Adams

Somebody on YouTube says, Happy Flask Friday. I like that. Happy Flask Friday. I like that. That was Greg W. 1911.

54.638 - 73.676 Sergio

All right. Happy Flask Friday to you. So yes, it's Friday. All right, you guys. We have a news crew show for you today and a great way to end the week, but we must do something first. So if you happen to have a tanker, I'd like to see it. All right. So we'll toss it over to Scott.

75.32 - 96.609 Erica

Morning, everybody. What an amazing day. And today will be one of the best coffees with Scott Adams ever, because we have fun topics. Don't always. Sometimes the news does not cooperate. But today, yeah, we've got some good stuff. It's worth staying around for. And all you need to make this a special day. Well, I think you know.

97.069 - 122.533 Erica

All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now. or the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now. Go. Mmm. Ah, yeah. Mmm.

Chapter 2: How does the Triangle Power Move relate to Trump's leadership?

1263.152 - 1283.836 Owen Gregorian

So the next story is there's another attack on ICE in Boise, Idaho this time. And I mean, to me, this is a really significant attack. Apparently somebody stole an ambulance from a hospital packet full of gas cans and rammed into the DHS office in Boise, Idaho. And so it seems to me a lot like the Oklahoma City bombing.

0

1283.856 - 1295.612 Owen Gregorian

I mean, I think they were trying to do arson or something, and that's what they were charged with. But to me, this is a pretty significant attack. And then the next story I saw about this was

0

1295.592 - 1311.34 Owen Gregorian

most of the networks ignored it they didn't talk about this terror attack just as if it didn't happen i think abc was the only network that covered it um and otherwise it was just you know everybody just pretended like it hasn't happened so

0

1311.32 - 1336.99 Sergio

the media is definitely being very selective about you're right timothy mcveigh level stuff right there and that's that's really scary and it's so out of control i don't know that there's a mental illness crisis in this country obviously i didn't know about this story that's a good point uh when this story has been buried because this is the first time i hear about it and your notes and now that's interesting

0

1337.712 - 1354.138 Scott Adams

that is just so hidden. They really want to shine the spotlight away from that issue. And it's a big one. It's all these SSRIs, right? The... all this mental illness that is going on, like Edgar was saying.

1354.158 - 1372.348 Owen Gregorian

Well, I think it's just narrative control, right? Like they don't want to make it seem like there's people doing bad things against ICE. They want to make it all seem like ICE is the ones doing the bad things and they don't want to show any of the other side. And so the media is very much playing along with the anti-ICE movement in terms of mainstream media.

1372.548 - 1377.456 Owen Gregorian

And I think that's just with your information sources is that

1377.436 - 1402.819 Owen Gregorian

um one of the biggest ways that the media controls the narrative is by not covering the stories that they find inconvenient or that are against their narrative they just don't put them on the air and you know for many people that means they never hear about them right so you you need to have a diverse set of sources or or you know get your media or your information from many different places if you want to really find out everything that's going on

1403.558 - 1416.394 Owen Gregorian

And, you know, that's just reality now with media. I mean, you're not going to get the full story from anybody, really. But, you know, you need to probably have a mix of different sources if you really want to get the full picture.

Chapter 3: What was revealed about Obama's comments on UFOs?

3495.073 - 3512.959 Owen Gregorian

And so I think for people who are at that lower end of the economic spectrum or even just middle class people, I mean even if you're making a hundred or 150,000 a year, you're still probably feeling like things are really tight and things are not better than they have been in the past.

0

3512.979 - 3528.681 Owen Gregorian

And so I think it is different for everybody, like Erica said, but I think Scott would often say that jobs are probably the biggest thing. If people have jobs, that's probably the most important indicator. If you see unemployment going way up, then that's gonna be a huge problem for the economy.

0

3528.661 - 3538.222 Owen Gregorian

But as long as people have jobs, that means they're getting income and they're going to be spending that income, which is going to make the whole economy work. So that's probably the base factor. Good jobs.

3540.868 - 3541.81 Marcela

You're muted.

3543.646 - 3566.098 Sergio

Thank you. Before we leave, I just want to read, somebody pointed out that Joel Pollack had made a post, which might be a good reframe about the hearing. So Joel, Joel, friend of the show, we love you. He said, Trump lost politically in court, but actually wins. He can say he did his best to protect the US industry. He made some trade deals.

3566.198 - 3570.244 Sergio

He was stopped by the courts, not lack of will or GOP leadership. He said,

3570.224 - 3596.4 Sergio

and theoretically prices should fall so he continues to win on affordability and i think that's a good positive note right end on right we like that we love joel pollock um you guys thank you so much we we um loved having you here today and we thank you for uh all your feedback in the chat we're reading what you're saying it's so helpful the memes are great

3596.38 - 3610.862 Sergio

Um, but please like tomorrow we have Owen Gregorian spaces. He'll be on with Sergio and SJV and he'll be starting at seven a M West coast. Owen, why don't you tell us real quick?

3611.146 - 3619.335 Owen Gregorian

Yeah, 7 a.m. Pacific, 10 a.m. Eastern. We'll have the after party tomorrow. We'll be talking about the news for probably several hours.
