Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Steve, the Texan, we're in the battle. Gracie, bookish. How is Lang always first? I'm telling you. He wasn't yesterday. Except yesterday. Texan was yesterday. We'll never forget it. Yeah. Good morning, everyone. All right. So you wondered who Punch Monkey was. So while you guys filter in, just enjoy this video and we'll explain it after. But here's a little punch. Let me see. Okay.
Oh, I can't play the music. It's going through my ears. Well, let's just look at him. Let's enjoy him. This is little punk. I wish the music. It's a little monkey that was abandoned, right, or something by his mom? His mom abandoned him. It really wasn't completely her fault, I have to say. This is in Japan. So he was very sad and being bullied by the other monkeys.
So they gave him this little stuffed animal, which you can see he's like, don't touch my stuffed animal. This is all I have. I take it everywhere with me. I love it. It's my mom. Look at him dragging it around. I love it, I feel safe with it. Why won't anyone be my friend? Where'd my mom go? Okay, right, so look at him. Oh, I'm gonna wrap his arm around me. And now this is his human.
See him jumping on the man there? He loves that guy. This is his human. Yep. So he's like wandering around. He would hide in this little hole if he got nervous, but the stuffy couldn't fit in with him. Aw, look at the baby. So it goes on and on. And now I don't know how much more of this I'll show you.
Not much more, but he's finally found some friends and there's some adult monkeys now that are taking care of him and grooming him and loving him. And the whole world has fallen in love with little punch monkey. Look, he's like, where's my stuffy? So that's punch. Ta-da. I was looking for it to play it, but I can't find it in BJ's. It's so good. Post a lot, BJ. Did somebody delete it? No.
No, I'm looking through and trying to find it. See, now he has someone to look after him. You want me to find it for you? And I might be able to share the screen too. Can you share it? Let me see. So now Punch has a little troop that he's settled in with. And he learned how to wave. Didn't he learn how to wave at the end? I think it was a coincidence.
I don't think there's any coincidence in that. Good morning. Good morning. Welcome to the Scott Adams School. So we're just chatting it up. I thought we'd give a little more time to come in.

Chapter 2: How does BJ Dichter view the role of technology in modern vehicles?
We pull up, and she's like, the officer pulls up to her and rolls down the window, senora, blah, blah, blah. And she gives him, I don't know what it was, 50 pesos or something like that. And they're like, what the hell was that? They're like, gringos, you don't understand how Mexico works. That's how it is. It's normal. And Erica, your station wagon idea is like a primo idea.
I mean, people still ride horses. All right. I'm old school. Listen, I just want everything to go back to the simplicity. I loved it. Trump is bringing back the 80s, Erica. Do you see it? Do you feel the 80s coming back? Erica is ready for the throwback. We're ready for Erica. Everyone join me. Okay. Get your hair spray. Let's go. Um, so I definitely, okay.
So you guys, I was switching topics, a hard, hard turn. You guys, I'm even more confused than I was yesterday, which I openly admit about what's going on with Iram. You guys, I am so, I'm just hearing so many different takes and I ride the fence, you guys. Like I always point out how I'm a Libra. I can see both sides of every situation. I really can. And I am so confused.
Like sometimes I hear people like, well, we had to do it, you know, because of X, Y, Z. And then the other people are like, well, X, Y, Z isn't even reality. And maybe it's because of these reasons. So I don't know. I feel the pain on both sides, you guys.
And I'm hoping someone can make more sense now that some time has passed and we've had time to read news and watch stories, see what's happening. I know there's more attacks. And you know what? Six Americans have died. Six of our military men or women have died. I don't know who they are yet. And it's just like, what are we doing? Is it necessary? Can
can maybe i want to ask bj first if you could give me a take on what you think and for someone like me or maybe other people in the chat who just don't know what to make of it what do you what are your thoughts Yeah, there's a lot to unpack there, but I'll try to figure out the most simple way to explain it.
The reason people are getting confused is because of this intentional and deceptive propaganda war on both sides, and particularly from the adversaries of the West that have become a particular problem for us for many years. And I've seen it in politics as they embed themselves into our politics, as you know, with your You're now mayor of New York.
There was a post I responded to, and this is a perfect example of kind of where it starts and how it spreads out. And then I'll give just a little bit more context to help clarify that. It's from somebody named Melissa Wong, who is responding to the Iranian women who are dancing and celebrating in the Middle East. Now, she does something in messaging for the Mises Institute.
And her comment was, this is a libertarian think tank. Has anyone else noticed that the Iranian women celebrating videos are all women that dress like hookers? That is not the philosophy of libertarianism and freedom. That is the philosophy of the other side. That is a perfect indicator of political entryism.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of electronic door releases in cars?
And you mentioned that going back for the nuclear strike. Look, in 1980, it was an 80, 81, something like that. Israel took out Saddam Hussein's nuclear capabilities when he talks about that. And they were condemned for it, by the way. And then I can't remember what year was fairly recently. They took out Syria's nuclear capabilities, which is Iran. Israel took them out as well.
And then Stuxnet, which was the US and Israel, took out Iran's nuclear capabilities. And what do they do? They get condemnation from people in the West. And they're like, stop shooting yourself in the foot. We're protecting you guys. But that's how advanced and sophisticated the propaganda war is in the West. And by the way, the Islamists, as I recently discovered, you know what they're learning?
hypnosis, and they're teaching it to each other. Very dangerous. I want to get Marcella in here. Yeah, go ahead, dear. I have no, you know, I do support Muslims. I have to say I disagree with Erica and BJ on this. I support freedom of religion in this country and for them to have the ability to speak their mind. If my ideas can garner the support that they're supposed to,
then i fail remember what scott would always say the best idea is always in control i understand that there is terrorist uh i understand that there is extremists there's extremists in christianity there's extremism judaism um but i just wanted to lay that out there um you know And to be honest, you know, as an objective is and ran follower, I don't really support any kind of collectivism.
I support individuals. Um, but going forward in regards to Iran, I wanted to get your take in Israel. Because we have a lot of people out there that are, you know, that were voting for Trump because he was the president of peace, right? And I've been told also Tucker Carlson and his viewpoints, Candace Owens and their viewpoints about this being basically Israel controlling our president.
so and you can laugh about that but they are sincerely believe that and that is optics and like you said israel fails at explaining their viewpoints and all we see is bb netanyahu
visiting trump all the time and then we see this war we don't see any kind of full-on explanation by the president trump so i'm trying to play devil's advocate for those in the audience that disagree with this war and are conservative yeah so a couple of things first did you notice what you did marcella i've been saying islamists you said muslims yeah right i never said muslims
I said Islamists, specifically fanatics. And the difference is, yeah, there's going to be fanatics in all groups. But what we've done in the West is we've given them the political power amongst their community. Do you know why? For example, in Dearborn, Michigan, when Trump was speaking ahead of the election, they brought up all these Muslim Brotherhood guys to take pictures with Trump.
Do you know why they do that? That's signaling they're never going to vote for Trump. They vote for the other side. But they're signaling to the moderate individual Muslims in their community, we're in control. Step out of line and we're going to get you.
