Chapter 1: What is the simultaneous sip?
Experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tidy, shiny human brains. All you need for that is a cup or mug or glass. Tank or chalice or sty in 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. It's the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous sip. And damn it, it's happening right now. Go. My enjoyment of that sip is unparalleled, really. Well, let's talk about some science-y things and such. Then we'll get into all the ugly politics. I know you want that. You want it bad. We got some good stuff today.
Well, according to What's Up With That, Watts is spelled W-A-T-T-S, What's Up, for the second time in a week, climate scientists were surprised with an increased CO2 absorption mechanism. So it turns out that there were two things that climate scientists might have gotten wrong about CO2 absorption. Number one is how quickly plants absorb it.
Chapter 2: What surprising findings did scientists discover about CO2 absorption?
Number two is how much heat can be absorbed by the ocean. So let's say if you were building a climate model to measure temperature, and two of the things that you knew you got very wrong were plants and oceans, how do you think your final number looks? Let's see. The only things we got wrong were the plants and the oceans. Well, how about all the clouds?
You know, just the regular, eh, don't ask about the clouds.
about the sun and the sunspots don't ask don't ask don't ask so i always think that the climate models are sort of the ultimate test of how much you understand about the world now i don't know if the i don't know if the temperature of the world is going up and i don't know if co2 is involved the only thing i know for sure is that you can't tell with the climate model
That's the only thing I know for sure. But most of the world has been hypnotized into thinking that the scientists, although they're continually updating the variables and assumptions that go into the climate models, they're still right. No matter how many times you change them, still right. And if they're wrong, we'll change them until they're right again, somehow, because we know what's right.
Chapter 3: Why are climate models considered unreliable?
Start with that, and then we'll make our models match it. All right, here's some more science. Let's see how you could have done with this. Would you have needed a study to tell you the following? According to American Education Research Association, students with a growth mindset learn more in school. There's actually been a study of that now. So if you have a growth mindset, you'll learn more.
Ah. What kind of students would have a growth mindset, do you think? Now, a growth mindset, the way they defined it, is that you believe that if you study, you can learn a lot. So what kind of people... Just sort of naturally know that if they study, they'll learn a lot. Would it be dumb people? Would it be smart people? There you go. There you go. Yep.
Let me use my own life example where anecdote beats science. Now, normally science beats anecdote. Here would be a case where anecdote totally beats science. When I was about six years old, and this is true, by the way, I'm making it into a more interesting story, but it's true. When I was about six, I looked into a mirror and I said to myself, you know what?
I don't think you're going to play in the NBA. And I was right. Turns out that at six years old, I could accurately ascertain I was not headed for the NBA. So then I said, what the hell can you do? You'd better get some kind of a life plan here. You're not going to play in the NBA. And so I said to myself, well, what am I good at?
And I thought, huh, according to all these adults, they keep telling me I'm smarter than average. So I go, hmm, I'll bet I could learn a lot. And so I developed a growth mindset because everybody, including me that I knew, thought I would be good at school. And then I was.
Now, did you really need to run a study that people who are pretty sure they're good at school and that going to school and learning will be good for them, they end up learning more? Did we need to study that? Did we? I think you could have just asked Scott next time. Well, I didn't see this coming. New York City has a drought. Apparently it was drier than normal in October.
And New York City people are being asked to conserve water. So the city's falling apart. There's crime, there's debt, and not nearly enough water. So sooner or later, every blue state will turn into California. They won't have energy and they won't have water. and there will be fires raging through the houses. Which, by the way, is probably true.
The longer a state remains blue, probably less water and energy they're going to have because of the way they run stuff. Anyway, we hope they do well. Did you know, according to Slay News, that the Biden-Harris administration has licensed DNA vaccines for the food supply. So I guess they're going to give vaccinations to the salmon and some other stuff.
Doesn't it feel like the public should get some kind of a say in that? Instead of just going to the store one day and you're chewing on your salmon, and it's full of mRNA or whatever the hell they decided to put in there? Now, it's not like I'm an expert, that if you ask me, Scott, Do you think we should give this salmon a shot? I don't know. Maybe.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of a growth mindset in education?
But I feel like they should at least run it by us. You know, hey, we really think we better give some shots to these salmon because whatever we've been doing up to now isn't good enough. To which I say, are you telling me the salmon I've been eating up to this point are all bad for me? I just don't know.
But, yeah, don't drink the water and don't eat the fish and you're all going to die from climate change. There is a Soros prosecutor who has been a thorn in the side of people who don't like Soros prosecutors in L.A. who's been blamed for many of L.A. 's problems. But George Gascon is apparently losing badly, like really badly, to the challenger.
And Joel Pollack is writing about this in Breitbart. And I ask you this. Do you think the country is just adjusting? Do you think that the country has figured out that having a Soros prosecutor is basically a death knell for your state? How much do you think the country has figured out? Because I'm in my own little silo, and I never know. Does the rest of the country know this?
Or is this just some little thing I see in my little corner of the news? But if the challenger's up by 25 points, according to the Times, that should tell the story. And in my location, the Soros prosecutor is on the ballot for recall. Now, if I had to guess, I would guess she's going to get recalled. So it's possible that... Because, you know, why would he even be on the ballot?
I think she's going to get recalled. So we could actually get rid of a Soros prosecutor in L.A. and San Francisco, potentially, in the same year. That'd be kind of a big deal. Anyway, we'll see if that happens. Do you know about Project 65? That's that lawyer, Mark Elias. He's a Democrat lawyer who's always pushing things in the domain of elections.
Some say he's getting away with all kinds of weaselly but legal stuff, and he's affecting the elections. But here's what's happening now. There's Project 65. So they're aligned with Mark Elias. They're running ads in every swing state. saying that if any attorney represents Trump in regards to election integrity matters, they might lose their licenses. Can you imagine that?
That that's a real thing that's happening. I would say one of the strongest things about the American structure is that we'll give a genuine, at least we'll try, to give a real defense even to somebody who's guilty. But here's a case where even if somebody's innocent, they're going to take out the defense. They're going to attack the defense even if they're defending somebody innocent.
So this is another case of the Democrats making you think past the sale, which to me is the biggest story of the year. So the hypnotist take is he's making you think that Trump did steal the election in 2020 or claimed it was stolen when it wasn't. Now, nobody knows if that election was stolen. There's no way to know that. So they're making you think past the sale.
If Trump was right, and I don't know that either, that the election was rigged, then everything Trump does looks completely different. If it was not only not rigged, but it was possible for a human being to know that it wasn't rigged, and one of those human beings was Trump, and he knew it wasn't rigged, and he knew it was fair...

Chapter 5: How is the Biden administration influencing healthcare costs?
But still, it's reasonable to assume that she might still be in favor of him. She just can't say it until she gets elected. So Musk says about the Insurrection Barbie thing, he says those are their stated goals. And that's true. There are prominent Democrats who have stated these exact things. Doesn't mean it'll happen. And it doesn't mean that President Harris would push them.
But it does mean prominent Democrats are pushing these exact things. And then he says, unless Trump wins, this will be the last election. He says the Dems will legalize all the illegals and swing states, so there'll be no more swing states. America will become a one-party, deep blue socialist state.
Now, those are opinions, but they're based on things that Democrats have really said, really in public. And it wouldn't be too much connecting dots to say that if they did these things, it would be one-party rule. And to that, David Axelrod says, Twitter at least tried to police disinformation.
Imagine how mad you would be if your entire plan for power depended on controlling all the media platforms, but the biggest one, the most important one, I would say, X, is the one you can't control. That must really kill the top Democrats. That really gets into their game. But at least all the other news is true, right? Oh. Well, David Sachs says this in a post.
He says, the biggest story of the week was the jobs report. October, 12,000 new jobs when 100,000 were expected. And the job growth is negative if the government jobs are excluded. September was at 254,000, but revised down 31,000. August, it was 159,000, but revised down 81,000. And as Sachs says, instead they got us focusing on the presidential polls.
So, yes, there's a lot of diversion going on. Here's a question. Now, Fisher King, one of my favorite posts, or one of my favorite accounts on X, he says, reminder that Trump currently has a sentencing date of November 26th. on the, quote, 34 felony convictions thing. So if he loses, the plan is to jail him quickly so he isn't in a position to challenge any irregularities in the election.
Now, I did a little bit of research with somebody smarter than me, who shall remain nameless, who thinks that it's more likely that it would just be appealed and he wouldn't go to jail. Now, is that true? He wouldn't actually be behind a cell, would he, November 26th?
He would just appeal and he would get pushed forward and probably the entire case might have to be retried because of Supreme Court decisions recently. So I don't think he's going to be in jail, but you've got to think that they gamed this out. You've got to think that in some room, in some room there must have been a conversation where Democrats said, all right,
you know if we can get him in jail and then they probably said oh he'll appeal that won't work so they probably have another plan rasmussen points out that 45 of the people they polled say that when states are late in reporting their election results it makes them less confident that those are real results and yet we've been told that it will take days before we have our election results why would a country

Chapter 6: What is Project 65 and its implications for election integrity?
An honest engineer would say, well, really, the fact that there's dozens and dozens of holes we have to plug is kind of a strong indication that there are holes we haven't plugged that we don't yet know about. Because I would ask, were all the holes that you plugged today, were all of them always plugged? Well, no, that's why we had to have SISA. So you're saying that in the past,
We had holes which we knew, and until CISA came, they were not plugged. Right, that's why CISA was created, so we could plug the holes. But didn't we think the elections were always free and fair? Yes, we did. So before any of the holes were plugged, we also thought our elections were free and fair. That's right. But yet they weren't, or we couldn't have possibly known because there were holes.
Yeah, but they're plugged now. How do you know you plugged all of them? Well, we're not aware of any that need to be plugged. At any time during the process where you were plugging the holes that are now plugged, was there any time when you had half of them plugged and you were unaware that there might be some other things that would come up? Oh, yeah, that happened.
We plugged the ones we knew about. A few more came up, so we plugged them. So how could you possibly know you've plugged all the holes now? Well, nobody's complaining. But if somebody did complain tomorrow and pointed out a new hole that you didn't know was there, what would you say then? Well, we'd plug that hole. Okay, but you wouldn't know if anybody had already used it necessarily.
So the thing is, if you talk to the manager, you know what the manager says? It's a perfect election. We exist to make sure that everything's running fine. We've checked it out. And by the way, I get paid more if I do a good job protecting the elections. You know, my pay will depend on it. I'd get fired if I did a bad job of it. Wait a minute.
Are you telling me that if you admitted the elections were not secure, you would get fired? Well, yes, of course, because it's my job to make sure they're secure. So, so I'm supposed to believe that the elections are secure and Because I'm listening to a manager, not an engineer who could actually know what's going on. I'm talking to a manager who would get fired if you said the opposite.
Well, I suppose that's true. I would get fired. And that was the best evidence we have that our elections are fair and secure. It was hilariously pointy-haired boss Dilbert territory kind of stuff. You would have to have no experience in the real world to believe that the SISA people had secured the elections. Now, again, I'm not aware of a specific problem, but I live in the real world.
I live in the real world. Anyway. So, Ian, I think we're going to need a much better argument. Somebody said the 60 Minutes did an episode last night. I didn't see it, but I heard that it was geared toward showing you that the Georgia elections are real secure. Do you believe that? Does anybody watching this believe that the Georgia elections are secure? To me, that's absurd. It's absurd.
Now, it's also possible that they are secure. But there is no way that they could communicate that to me, a regular voter, in a way that I would ever believe it. Because it would be very much like there's a UFO in my backyard. There is. Yeah, it's a UFO from space. It's in my backyard. Can I see it? Oh. No, you can't see it. Can I see a picture of it? Oh, I should have taken a picture. Really?

Chapter 7: How are elections perceived in terms of fairness and security?
if they had gone, you know, you really need to be a vegetarian right before the election. I don't think that would have helped their vote with young men. I think young men like their meat for the most part. Do you know who is vegetarian? College women, young women mostly. So this is another indication that Democrats are the party of women.
And I still take credit for being the first person who said that the parties would become the party of men and the party of women. I think I'm the first one in the country to say this is obviously going to happen. And it did. I probably said that in 2016. So the Postmillennial says that Kamala Harris has a separate message she's sending on the campaign to
the Muslims versus the Jews, the American Muslims and Jews. And that she is a little more pro-Israel with the Jewish Americans and a little more pro-Palestinian with the Muslim Americans. Now that's no big surprise, right? Because they're politicians. But I wondered, does Trump ever do that? I'm trying to think, has Trump ever had two messages for two different groups of people?
it seems like with all the politicking, there must have been some time it happened, but I don't really see that happen. Trump is weirdly honest in ways that I don't think are completely understood. And here's one of them. He gives you one message. Now, you might not like the message, and you might think the message is based on a lie or something, but he gives everybody the same message.
And that strikes me as honest. When I watch somebody give different messages to different groups, that strikes me as dishonest. I just think that Trump, even though he's directionally accurate but fails the fact-checking quite a bit, that the directional accuracy is the part I cared about. You know, somebody was challenging me on how much wall he got built.
I think Cenk was saying he didn't build much wall, to which I say, but he tried to build a wall. I mean, he tried. Nobody tried harder than he did. He tried different funding mechanisms. They kept thwarting him at every turn. And he got some going, you know, got money from the military, etc. So that's what I want.
I want somebody that I can observe doing everything you could do to do the thing that needs to get done. If it doesn't work, well, then I'd say, you know, keep going and do the best you can, et cetera. But at least it's in the right direction. So for me, the fact that Trump does seem to do directionally what he says he'll do feels honest.
And so does not having two messages for two different groups of people. So I get I'm completely aware that the fact checkers will tear them apart and they'll say the windmills don't stop and turn off your TV. And I'll say he didn't really mean that. Don't fact check that. But directionally and on the big stuff, Trump is much more honest, much more honest.
All right, what are Tim Wall's closing lies? Governor Wall says, there will come a day when you're going to be sitting on that rocking chair and the little ones are going to ask you, quote, when everything was on the line, there was somebody running who asked to be a dictator. No, nobody did that. And wanted to overturn the Constitution. Nope, nobody ever did want to do that.
