Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?

0.347 - 38.501 Scott Adams

Looking good. Golden age is off to a good start. But we got a show today, today, today, to do today. It's going to be amazing. Probably the best thing ever. Let's get our comments up. And... Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. Welcome to the golden age, too.

And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard, shells, or a canteen jugger 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.

61.539 - 93.125 Scott Adams

It's called simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Oh, the golden age of goodness is just seeping out of there. It's in my pores now, people. It's in my pores. Did you know that an extra five minutes of exercise a day, or actually just five minutes, could lower your blood pressure? Well, that's right. You only need five minutes a day.

Chapter 2: How can a short walk improve your health?

93.746 - 116.123 Scott Adams

I'm going to make yet again another push for my idea of Americans taking more walks after meals. Could be after breakfast if you're retired. Could be after lunch if you get a little extra time. Could be after dinner. But I've been using this advice on myself. Probably every other day I take a long walk. And

117.544 - 146.556 Scott Adams

feel great every time I do and the secret for me anyway is to walk until it's you know challenging but not you know not exhausting and oh my goodness does it just change your attitude you sleep better you eat better you digest better if I if I could convince you to do one change in your life it's just to get up and put on some comfortable shoes and take a short walk and the emphasis is on short and

0

147.071 - 170.827 Scott Adams

Because when you take your walk, when you're done, you should say to yourself, that was fun. I feel great. If you don't say that was fun, I feel great. Then you probably went too long or maybe not long enough, but there's that sweet spot where you don't work. You don't kill yourself, but you're just putting a little effort out there and getting some sun, some fresh air. Go ahead. Try it. Try it.

0

171.988 - 203.04 Scott Adams

Try it right away. It's amazing. There's a study from Ohio State University highlighting the pervasiveness of inflammation in our diet. Did you know that 60% of Americans have what they call a pro-inflammatory diet? I've told you this story before, but for a number of years recently, I thought old age had caught up with me. And now everything hurts all the time. So my muscles hurt.

0

203.26 - 227.025 Scott Adams

It seems like my joints hurt. Things creaked and cracked and everything was inflamed. And I just thought that's how it was. And I saw an interview on the street. Somebody, some influencer was asking people randomly, what's it like to be old? And they would go up to old people in the street and say, what's it like to be old? And one of them was a guy who probably wasn't much different from my age.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of inflammation in our diet?

228.066 - 253.324 Scott Adams

And he said, what's it like to be old? And the guy says, well, honestly, it's like losing a fight every day because everything hurts all the time. And I was watching it and I thought to myself, wow, that's true. My entire body hurts all the time. I mean, not a lot, but like every time I stood up, every time I moved, you know, I'd feel until it loosened up a little. And that was all inflammation.

0

255.06 - 285.714 Scott Adams

So I managed to get the inflammation under control with a combination of diets and who knows what. But at the moment, I don't have any. And my body feels like I'm 25. It's unfreaking believable that if you are even at my age and you take the inflammation out of your body, you feel like a teenager. It's just the food. The food is fucking killing us. And here's one thing that I want the RFK Jr.

0

286.535 - 312.841 Scott Adams

Trump administration to at least think about. Would you not agree that it's been a public service to have food labeled with nutritional value? Yes or no? Now, some of you are, you know, free absolutists. So you say, don't make me say something on my product. Let the market figure it out. But I think most of us would say, yeah, I like some truth in labeling.

0

313.681 - 340.533 Scott Adams

It shouldn't be legal to lie to me or to sell me something unhealthy without me knowing it. So most of us would agree a little government intervention to at least tell us the truth is on point. But you know what truth I want? I want to know the inflammation ratio. I want a big number right on the front of it, like from 1 to 10. that tells me what it's going to do to my inflammation. Wouldn't you?

0

341.554 - 361.421 Scott Adams

And I would just ignore all the high inflammation ones, which is going to end up being a lot of your junk foods anyway. So that's what I want to see. All right, I have a theme for today. The theme for today is, oh my God, am I impressed by the founders of this country?

362.264 - 392.372 Scott Adams

who came up with a system some 250 years ago-ish, in which they said, if we follow these rules and this constitution, even if things go terribly off the rails, we can pull it back. And I thought maybe that wasn't true. I felt until this last election that maybe the slippery slope was just nothing you could do anything about. Things were going off the rails. People were going crazy.

392.852 - 417.696 Scott Adams

We were doing things that were clearly not beneficial for the country and actually existential threats to the country. And it didn't look like there was a correcting mechanism. And then there was. And that's going to be my theme today. There was a correcting mechanism. In fact, the correcting mechanism was so big, it changed everything. And we'll get into that a little bit.

419.159 - 447.752 Scott Adams

Number one, the judge in Trump's hush bunny trial. It looks like all the the lawfare against Trump is going to be thrown out. So did the system solve the lawfare problem? It might have. So we had this big problem with lawfare that none of us liked. And if it had been successful, oh, my God, what then? Right. Then we just become the country of lawfare. But it looks like it won't be successful.

449.242 - 475.938 Scott Adams

So there again the you know, the monster got out of the cage but 250 years ago Some people wrote the Constitution and It put the monster back in the cage Because we elected who elected Trump and that fixed that problem So, all right, that's a win-win for the founders Jack Smith not so happy

Chapter 4: How did the election results reflect public sentiment?

1110.781 - 1138.831 Scott Adams

full alert that there might be some some tricks in the bags that we don't know about but i do think the fact that even democrats believe that trump won the majority is the mind fuck of all mind fucks and that whatever is happening in democrat brains today is got to be severe and we'll talk about that a little bit more Here's another fake news.

0

1138.891 - 1163.68 Scott Adams

How many of you saw, and I got taken in by this one, so this is my bad. This is only partially fake news. So this is fake news that is directionally accurate, but I think it's worth saying when you got taken, all right? So I'm going to raise my hand. We're in a world where we're going to get taken by fakes and Rupert edits and, you know, bad actors.

0

1164.641 - 1185.616 Scott Adams

And if you do what I do, which is you repost a lot of stuff that looks interesting, you're going to get taken. All right. So I feel like I should just start right now and say, like, I'm going to I'm going to fall in that puddle like a lot. So here's what I fell into. There's a video that seemed to show

0

1186.277 - 1209.811 Scott Adams

Jake Tapper being amazed that there were no counties in the country, not a single one, in which Harris did better than Biden. It turns out that that was a rhubarb. And if you'd watched the whole video, there are, in fact, I think several dozen counties in which he did better. Now, that doesn't change the general story. It's still directionally correct.

0

1210.471 - 1235.086 Scott Adams

I guess it was another filter that they weren't putting on it. And if you saw the other filter, it would say like 58 counties you did better, something like that. But that's 58 out of thousands, lots of counties. So the message is exactly the same. But when you get taken by a hoax, I feel like we have some responsibility to the people who have been living in what I call the hoaxocracy.

1236.147 - 1258.021 Scott Adams

Like we need to model what it looks like when you know you got taken by a hoax. You gotta show how to walk yourself down from that. That's gotta be routine. That's gotta be something everybody learns to do. It's like, oh man, I walked right into that total face plant. My bad, sorry. So at least that would be a healthy situation.

1258.782 - 1292.904 Scott Adams

Well, young voters made up, I'm loving all the stuff we're finding from the election outcome. It's just fascinating on so many levels. So young voters made up 16% of the electorates. That's between 18 and 29. And it turns out that men between the ages of 18 and 29 voted decisively for Trump. Why? Why did men break for Trump? Well, number one, probably not worried about bodily autonomy.

1294.136 - 1330.632 Scott Adams

So that wasn't an issue. Abortion presumably weighs much bigger on the minds of young women, and it should. But I think the Joe Rogan, Dana White, kind of Elon Musk, I'll even throw Vivek in there. There's a whole bunch of manly, positive manly things happening Trump getting shot and jumping up and yelling, fight, fight, fight. There are a lot of things there that Trump does right.

1332.193 - 1360.648 Scott Adams

Men like strength. We like leadership. We like certainty. We like not to be talking about your character and your characteristics and your personality. Can you tell me how much it's going to cost me? Can you tell me how to fix this thing? Can you keep me out of a war that is just a stupid fucking war? So these are everything that young men care about. Can I get a job? Can I afford to live?

Chapter 5: What should we understand about the polls and Trump's popularity?

1503.515 - 1523.665 Scott Adams

So we don't really judge other men and we can kind of work with them. So if you've got a good policy, if you're a plumber, I'm not going to ask you who you voted for. You know, just fix my pipes. Okay. Now, women apparently were a little more drawn to the character frame. You can't have somebody who's somebody else says is a fascist.

0

1524.606 - 1551.994 Scott Adams

You can't have somebody who somebody else says is going to round up the LGBTQ and put them in camps. Now, none of that's true, but it became, you know, part of the story that Trump had the character. He was going to be the strong man, Hitler kind of person. So we allowed, as a public, we sort of passively allowed two frames to pop up. One was, can you handle his character?

0

1552.114 - 1580.484 Scott Adams

And then you had to say stuff like, well, I don't like all of his social media posts. Like it just became a thing, you had to say that. I do like closing the borders, but I don't like everything he says, some of the ways he says it. All right, so we had to do that. I would submit that these are the wrong frames. And if you fall into these frames, you have a world of continuous disunity.

0

1581.445 - 1603.653 Scott Adams

I would suggest, I don't think we're there yet, but there is an awakening that's happening that's unmistakable. And part of that awakening is that the pro-Democrat part of the country woke up to find out they're not the majority. Imagine waking up to that.

0

1603.673 - 1631.084 Scott Adams

The single number one thing that Democrats were sure about is that there were more of them than there were of those damn disgusting mega people. So as long as they were in the goodly, you know, the angels of the majority, They can feel pretty confident that they had the right take. And it's always the criminals are always the minority, right?

1631.704 - 1649.532 Scott Adams

It's like, oh, the people, the rapists, they're the minority. Thank God they're the minority. So as long as you were in the majority and you felt that majority and every time you turned on the TV, the news was talking your talk and you turn on the late night show and Jimmy Kimmel's talking right to you, just like you think.

1650.252 - 1680.429 Scott Adams

And you think, well, all of my good people are saying that I'm a good person And so that's got to be true. And then you woke up to find out that more than half of the people who voted think that none of that's true, that you live in a world of, I call it the hoaxocracy. It's actually an artificial reality that's built up by the propaganda brainwashing regimes.

1681.07 - 1698.966 Scott Adams

Let's say the brainwashing industrial complex of the news plus the people who pay the news, you know, the pharmas and et cetera. And so here's the frame that we should be entering. I don't know if we're ready, but if ever there was a time we'd be ready, it'd be just about now.

1699.787 - 1727.828 Scott Adams

And it's because of this surprising election result and because it changed people's opinion of what the majority looks like. Here's the reframe. It's not about policies or character. It's about brainwashing. Those who came out of the brainwashing joined Trump. You saw it a bunch of times. You saw the Bill Ackman saying, I thought the fine people hoax was real.

Chapter 6: What factors influenced young voters' decisions?

3242.278 - 3272.181 Scott Adams

So here are some of the things that Harris lost because she had only 107 days to prepare, and you can't expect anybody to prepare that fast. Come on. Seriously? Are you telling me that the vice president, the sitting vice president, was not willing and able... to walk in front of any audience at the drop of a pin and give a smart-sounding interview or debate on their topics.

0

3273.161 - 3302.698 Scott Adams

Can you tell me that J.D. Vance couldn't have pulled that off in 170 days? J.D. Vance would have been on CNN within eight hours of getting the pick. And Harris was so incompetent that they had to hide her No, the 170 days, that doesn't apply to qualified people. All they had to do is have somebody qualified that maybe had some track record as well, and they would have been fine.

0

3303.578 - 3321.396 Scott Adams

Because remember, they were running against Trump. They only had to put up somebody who could breathe and talk and not sound like an idiot, and they failed to find somebody who could breathe and talk and not sound like an idiot. They literally couldn't find somebody who didn't sound like an idiot. how does that have anything to do with 107 days?

0

3322.277 - 3351.892 Scott Adams

Like, if we gave her 200 days, was she not going to be an idiot? Was her brain going to grow in? So no, the 170 days, I reject. They also say it's because waltz was a weak choice. No, it wasn't. Now, you might argue that maybe it could have made a difference in Pennsylvania. Maybe. But I don't think anybody voted for or against Walsh. I don't really think so.

0

3352.632 - 3365.841 Scott Adams

You could argue the Pennsylvania Ben Shapiro thing, but not that Walsh was just too weak in general. He seemed to be exactly what Democrats wanted. And there weren't any Republicans who were going to vote for the vice president.

3367.547 - 3396.743 Scott Adams

um some say that harris didn't say enough about her economic policies some say she didn't put enough distance between her and biden and of course there's the sexism thing howard stern and others say other democrats are saying why was our polling so off now imagine waking up and realizing that polling is not real you're not in the majority and that the majority of the people

3397.594 - 3422.206 Scott Adams

didn't believe any of the hoaxes about Trump. Imagine waking up into that reality where you thought the news was real. You thought the polls were legitimate. You thought Trump was a monster that everybody could see clearly. And then you wake up and you find out the majority don't see him as a monster. They prefer him. That's got to be really a mindfuck.

3423.325 - 3443.141 Scott Adams

I mean, there must be people who just don't even know like what reality they're in when they wake up. And the problem is that they've been in a hoaxocracy and they've just saw the corners of it like a little light got through. And they're like, wait a minute, that little light that got through into my darkened hoaxocracy, it doesn't make sense.

3443.681 - 3463.794 Scott Adams

How could there be this little light that got through and then everything falls apart? Even Bernie Sanders is tough on the Democrats. He said it should come as no surprise that a Democratic Party, which has abandoned working-class people, would find that the working class has abandoned them. Well said, Bernie.
