Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?

0.959 - 34.496 Scott Adams

I hope your morning is wonderful. We're going to have some fun today. All right. Nope. That went in the wrong direction, but not too bad. However, we'll put up the comments from the local subscribers here because they're the best. All right. We're going to make some trouble today. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do.

36.898 - 56.692 Scott Adams

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. Careful, I'm on my own cord. There. There we go. There we go. All wrapped up in my own electric cords.

0

58.595 - 79.001 Scott Adams

But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a kepper mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug or a 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. The day the thing makes everything better.

0

79.021 - 114.637 Scott Adams

It's called Simultaneous Sip. And it happens now. Go. Extraordinary. The best I've had all morning. I wonder if there is a scientific study that suggests that coffee is good for you. Oh, here's one. There's a study that says it might be a 17% reduction in all-cause mortality. Two to three cups per day. So you'll live on average 1.8 years of life.

0

Chapter 2: How does coffee affect your health?

116.621 - 151.151 Scott Adams

Substantial benefits across diverse populations, adds life, reduces your frailty. Oh my God, I got to have another sip. I'm reducing my frailty a little bit. My frailty seems a little high. Let me see what I can do about that. Yeah, I think that's working. My frailty has decreased 63% with one sip. That's called science, people. It's called science. Don't get it confused with anecdotes.

0

153.713 - 188.49 Scott Adams

Well, today is a big day. As you know, there will be an alien space war. The United States and the rest of the world will be in a global combat with UFOs. That's what I'm told, right? Now, that wouldn't be fake news, would it? Would it? Well, I hope that there's an alien-UFO war. That's all I want. If you'd like to see more of me... What? You know you do. Wouldn't you want to see more of me?

0

189.391 - 217.135 Scott Adams

Come on. But if you did want to see more of me, I will be on Newsmax today at 4.15 Eastern Time. So for you Californians, that's 1.15 Eastern Time today. And I'll be talking about stuff, things and stuff, and the news and things and whatnot. Well, according to SciTech Daily, there's a new kind of tattoo that can read your mind.

0

219.775 - 241.459 Scott Adams

So it's not exactly what it sounds like, but they've got some kind of ink that they can put a, I think it's a temporary tattoo, and the temporary tattoo will act like a brain sensor. So instead of putting a little sensor device on your head, they'll just put a little temporary tattoo, and then somehow they can read it and pick up your brain scans, I guess.

0

241.979 - 268.518 Scott Adams

I don't think it's quite ready to go, but it has some promise. So if you see a tattoo on somebody's head, they might be a cyborg. All right, according to SciPost. All right, let's see if you can get this one right before I tell you. They tested virtual reality feedback to see if it could reduce depression and anxiety.

269.439 - 295.61 Scott Adams

Do you think that putting somebody in a different, what feels like a different physical environment, because it's virtual reality, do you think that that can reduce their anxiety and depression? The answer is yes. Yes, it can. I guess as well as a therapist. So therapists aren't needed anymore. So that's a good job you should no longer try to be.

298.43 - 320.1 Scott Adams

But it seems like it would depend exactly what kind of virtual reality you're experiencing. I still think it's going to be better to walk outdoors. So here's what they need to do. They need to test the virtual reality. compared to sitting indoors and being sad. That's probably what they did. And then compared to taking a long walk in the park in the morning.

321.381 - 350.405 Scott Adams

I feel like I'd still bet on the long walk in the park in the morning over the virtual reality. So next time, just ask me. You don't need to do that study. Scott, what will reduce my anxiety and my depression more? using some kind of digital device in a clever way, or a walk in the park. Hmm. I'm going to go with a walk in the park. Well, California is trying to rev up its electric car business.

352.706 - 382.575 Scott Adams

So it's going to give rebates, maybe up to $7,500. It's going to replace the federal rebates that went away. But it's going to exclude Tesla. So if you buy an electric car, you can get a rebate, unless it's a Tesla. Unless it's Tesla. Does that sound personal? Does that sound like it's a political statement against Elon Musk? Well, their argument goes like this.

Chapter 3: What are California's new electric vehicle rebates?

982.026 - 1003.507 Scott Adams

A notable one would be this cartoonist guy who's disgraced, but cured. What do you think it'll say? Let's try. So we'll go to Google, and the search term, which I already put in, was who has been cured of spasmodic dysphonia? Who has been cured of spasmodic dysphonia?

0

1003.887 - 1032.35 Scott Adams

So the first sentence should be, well, a number of people, and one of them would be cartoonist Scott Adams and some other names, for example, right? Here's the first sentence. There is no cure for spasmodic dysphonia. What's your head doing right now? You're listening to me in real time. I'm not the only person who was cured of this. I met lots of people who were cured of it.

0

1032.93 - 1065.562 Scott Adams

I talked to them personally. What's the second sentence? But treatments can help reduce the symptoms. Treatments. Treatments. What kind of treatments do you think? Do you think the treatment would be somebody who spends a lot of money to advertise? Could it be Big Pharma? Somebody who advertises on Google? Let's check. But treatments can help reduce symptoms. The first one listed is Botox. Botox.

0

1065.762 - 1088.204 Scott Adams

It's the first thing listed. Injections of this bacterial toxin into the vocal cords can help for three to four months. The effect may need to be repeated. Oh, guess what? Guess what? It's a treatment that you have to do forever. And at the time I was doing it, I think it cost $9,000 per treatment every three months.

0

1089.424 - 1103.728 Scott Adams

Now, I wouldn't have paid that, the insurance would have, but $9,000 for some injections. Do you know what the injections are like? The injection goes through the front of your throat to get to the vocal cords on the back of your throat.

1105.771 - 1126.455 Scott Adams

Yeah, but that would be so painful that they give you a shot to numb the front of your throat because otherwise you would go insane if they put a needle big enough to reach the back of your throat through the front of your throat because the real one is a big needle. So they give you the little needle to numb you, and then do you know how they find the right place to put it?

1128.256 - 1154.086 Scott Adams

They have you go, ah, and then when it sounds about right on their little device, they shove it in. so they don't even see where they're putting it. They do it by feel. Not even feel, by sound and device. So sometimes they get the right place, and sometimes they don't. If they don't, then your next three or four months, you don't speak well, because they don't get the right place.

1154.986 - 1173.747 Scott Adams

So my vocal cords were a little non-standard, so when I tried it, it didn't always work. So I decided to stop doing it, because I knew that if I were continuing to do the Botox, if I were to find something else that worked, I wouldn't know, because it would mask the effect.

1174.407 - 1201.57 Scott Adams

So I took the baller approach to discontinue everything that allowed me to communicate with other human beings for as long as it took to find something that worked. And I set my, guess what? Google Alerts, my Google Alerts, for this condition, and then every time there was some alleged treatment or some idea, I would get an alert and check it.

Chapter 4: Why was Elon Musk's pay package blocked?

1351.232 - 1381.819 Scott Adams

And it says, Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, has publicly stated that he was cured of spasmodic dysphonia through surgery performed by Dr. Gerald S. Burke, M.D. The medical community generally does not use the term cured for the condition because treatments are managing symptoms. Does it sound like I'm managing my symptoms? Or am I just talking? I'm not managing my symptoms.

0

1382.64 - 1409.325 Scott Adams

I don't have any symptoms. Now, do you see the difference? Grok is built as a device that's trying to give you truth. Do you think that Google was trying to give me truth? It doesn't look like it. It looks like it gave me the pharma's best answer, right? Now, I just did this right in front of you. You can reproduce this where you are. And I think that perplexity didn't get it right or did.

0

1412.427 - 1445.557 Scott Adams

Yes, I am cured. This is a cure. Now, I've been erased from the internet. When I first got cured, I agreed to do a publicity tour. And the purpose of it was to make sure that Google couldn't miss me if anybody Googled spasmodic dysphonia. The idea was that since I'm a celebrity... and I'm cured, that anybody who was looking for spasmodic dysphonia and cure, I would pop up. Guess who pops up?

0

1446.577 - 1478.423 Scott Adams

RFK Jr., who isn't cured. And then an advertisement for Botox. That's your world. So you tell me, if they do advertisements and chat GPT, there's no point in ever using it again. There's no point in using an AI that takes advertisement because any question you ask in that domain won't be trustworthy. They'll have to manage the answer to keep the advertisers happy, just like this.

0

1481.525 - 1509.12 Scott Adams

How many of you are having your head explode right now? Because usually you don't get to see how clear this pharma distortion is. This is the cleanest, clearest example you'll ever see. And by the way, I knew that the experiment would turn out this way before I did it. Right? That's how obvious and clear and bad it is. Yeah, asymptomatic. Exactly.

1510.077 - 1538.751 Scott Adams

Well, Daniel Penny is, I guess the jury is going to be deciding today, unless they have. Maybe they're already done. Daniel Penny doesn't have a verdict yet, right? They're just resting their case today. And apparently he was greeted with shouts of guilty, and there was protesters outside as he went in. Man, I'm going to say it again.

1540.592 - 1567.678 Scott Adams

There's going to be a whole lot of my opinion of the country of America that depends on this verdict. So it's not like the jurors aren't listening to me, but maybe there's some court of appeals later. I need this to go the right way. This really, really needs to go the right way. I'm not going to be comfortable living in this country.

1568.712 - 1591.163 Scott Adams

otherwise and you know what i think men should just take a i think men should actually go on strike and say if you're in trouble good luck good luck ladies i want every woman on that jury because i assume they're a woman on the jury i want them to know that they just killed a thousand women because that that's the man that didn't get in didn't step in

1593.931 - 1626.177 Scott Adams

If you get this wrong, my head is just going to fucking explode. And I'm definitely not going to be helping anybody who's in trouble. I don't want to go to jail. Crazy. Crazy. All right. No, that's probably not true. I probably would, but I wouldn't like it. According to the world of statistics, 1.4 million American women do OnlyFans, but only like 0.01% of them make money at it. 1.4 million.

Chapter 5: What happened with the 2000 Mules documentary?

1857.17 - 1886.258 Scott Adams

Because they know he's going to force them to go back to common sense. And they want to get there before he forces them. So Trump just put out a big threat to Hamas. to release the prisoners before he gets signed into office January 20th. What do you call it? What's the word? Not signed into office. What do you do on January 20th?

0

1888.579 - 1924.003 Scott Adams

The word is when you're officially signed into office, you're... What the hell is that word? Inauguration. Thank you. inauguration so here's what's funny about that he said that if they don't give the prisoners back by them they'll be all hell to pay in caps and he'll hit them harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied history of the united states of america Do you like that idea?

0

1924.684 - 1947.783 Scott Adams

Do you like that threat? Here's the funny part. If you didn't catch the funny part, Biden has one last chance to do something to recover a little bit of his reputation, which is now more tattered than anybody who's ever left office except Nixon, and he was pushed down by a coup.

0

1949.723 - 1981.12 Scott Adams

So the only thing that Biden has, the only thing he has is if it's a long shot, it's a Hail Mary, but if he can get those hostages back before he's out of office, Well, well, if those hostages just come back now before Biden is out of office, Trump gets to say it was because of him because he threatened them. So he just removed from Biden.

0

1981.684 - 2008.124 Scott Adams

The only hope that Biden had of doing a positive thing before he left office, he left him nothing. Do you know the movie 300? There's that famous scene where whoever's the hero of the movie is to take from them everything, leave them nothing. He didn't leave them a crumb. There was one crumb he could have left them.

2008.524 - 2034.179 Scott Adams

Why don't you see if you can get those hostages back because it's winding down anyway. It's winding down. So you kind of suspect sometime in the next several weeks would be a good time for them to come back under the just normal conditions of how things work. But I just love the fact that he just completely took that away from Biden. Biden has no chance of getting anything. Leonidas, thank you.

2035.34 - 2060.714 Scott Adams

Leonidas. Meanwhile, South Korea has allegedly declared martial law, which made all of us say, what? Martial law? South Korea? South Korea? Is there some news that maybe I should have been following for the last several weeks that I'm not aware of? What the hell is happening in South Korea?

2062.055 - 2091.543 Scott Adams

So allegedly there's some anti-government forces have been too active and shutting down their progress, but it looks like he's just going domestic fascist against the opposing party. So let's keep an eye on this one, but it doesn't look like good news. Maybe we'll never know what is really behind it. It could be trying to catch some North Korean spy or something.

2091.703 - 2125.293 Scott Adams

I'm not sure we'll know exactly why this happened. Could be one of those things where it's a head fake and there's some other thing going on. Anyway, according to Rasmussen, 49% favor pardoning the January Sixers. But most people... I think two-thirds or so want them to be on an individual basis. Let's see if I got that right. Yeah, 67% want the pardons to be on a case-by-case basis.

Chapter 6: How does advertising influence news media?

2331.494 - 2354.55 Scott Adams

Law enforcement was just doing law enforcement stuff. So I don't approve of that. But I do say that the cause of it is not the people who attend it. The cause is the people who ran an election that looked to all of us, at least all of us who are watching this, it looked rigged. I don't have proof of it, but it sure looked rigged.

0

2356.151 - 2383.281 Scott Adams

So yes, I say pardon every one of them and don't even look at them individually. I do it on the first day and I would not look at any one of them individually. Boy, will people complain, and I don't care. Well, The View continues to embarrass itself. So I guess management is coming down pretty hard on The View because they made co-host Sunny Hostin read yet another legal note.

0

2383.781 - 2418.814 Scott Adams

Is this the fifth or sixth time they've had to do it? Regarding comments she made about Pete Hegseth. And then Whoopi, also related to The View being crazy, Whoopi said that... that we shouldn't call it a lie that Hunter Biden said he wouldn't pardon Hunter and then he did. He's like, well, I don't think we should call it a lie. That's almost the exact definition of a lie.

0

2419.575 - 2452.435 Scott Adams

A thing you know you're going to do and you say the opposite multiple times as clearly as possible. What would be the other word for that? I'm not aware of it. So Whoopi wants people to stop accusing Biden of lying for saying he wouldn't pardon his son. I think maybe her argument is that he meant it when he said it, but in the weight of larger issues, maybe he changed his mind. No, he didn't.

0

2453.796 - 2477.374 Scott Adams

We don't have to read minds to know that nobody's going to let their son go to prison if they can simply sign a piece of paper. I would have hated Biden if he let his own son go to jail and he didn't need to. I mean, I don't love him as a politician already. To me, he has the lowest level of respect.

2479.015 - 2513.216 Scott Adams

But if he had not protected his own family when it would be easy to do so, I mean, that would be even less respect. So, It was legal. It was possible. Of course he was going to do it. Of course. Stephen A. Smith has some interesting points about this. He says people feel like fools supporting the Democratic Party. And he thinks they should feel scammed. So the whole Joe Biden is fine.

2513.236 - 2532.5 Scott Adams

There's nothing wrong with his brain. Oh, yes, there is. And then you get to, I'm never going to pardon my son. Oh, yes, I did. And if you want to go further, think about the fact that Trump was impeached for trying to look into the very thing that Hunter just got pardoned for.

2533.48 - 2565.243 Scott Adams

Why did Hunter get pardoned all the way back to 2014, which would not include the gun charges, but it goes way further back? Why... Why would they need to pardon him unless Trump was on the right path when he was looking into investigating? So this goes all the way back to the fake impeachment. I mean, the Democrats could not have disgraced their party and their voters any harder than they did.

Chapter 7: What is the current situation with January 6th political prisoners?

2565.623 - 2592.316 Scott Adams

They really made their voters look like idiots. They did. Because they fooled them with something that didn't fool a single Republican. How would you like to be in that situation? There wasn't a single Republican who was fooled by anything they tried. But all of them were fooled. Right. Every Republican thought that Joe Biden looked fine. His brain is fine.

0

2592.976 - 2613.829 Scott Adams

And yet every Republican said, what are you looking at? He's clearly there's clearly something wrong. Then they ran Kamala Harris. And they convinced themselves that she was like the next coming and she'd be great. And every Republican said, what are you looking at? She might be the worst candidate of all time, of all candidates ever.

0

2615.09 - 2650.289 Scott Adams

So this is yet again, you know, this reversal on the pardon from Biden. And the media is talking about how this is tainting his positive reputation. Tainting Biden's positive reputation, Biden is the most famous liar in all of politics and has been for 60 years or whatever, however long he's been there, 50 years. He's the most famous serial liar. Like he's famous for lying.

0

2650.91 - 2681.49 Scott Adams

It's not even something he does also. He's famous for lying. And it seems pretty clear to me that he was involved in some sketchy stuff with the family business. So he might be the most famous, corrupt, lying politician of all time. And the media did such a job of shining his turd that when it all fell apart and you couldn't protect it anymore, the media acts like it was a new change.

0

2682.25 - 2711.727 Scott Adams

Huh, things were going so well until that bad part at the end. No, it was just the media making you think that the biggest liar and crook we've ever seen in that office was almost angelic. Good job, media. According to the conversation, James Goodwin, there's a study about the COVID lockdowns says it was bad for young people's brain structures.

2712.387 - 2741.718 Scott Adams

So adolescents, their brains did not develop in the way that they normally would. They used MRI to look at them. I guess the brains folded differently than normal. But here's my question. It does make sense that young people would be more affected because their brains are more likely to be in a maturing state. But don't you think that everybody got totally changed by the pandemic?

2743.199 - 2769.846 Scott Adams

I can speak for myself. My brain is completely different after the pandemic, meaning that even my preferences for things changed. I mean, I'm not even the same person. So I think that the damage from the pandemic is certainly in the young and maybe mostly. But boy, did it affect everybody. That's my take. Would most of you say the same thing?

2771.006 - 2794.854 Scott Adams

That the pandemic gave you a permanent change and not necessarily a good one. It's definitely permanent in my case. And Axios says that, this is funny, Axios actually said that Biden sacrificed the moral high ground. The moral high ground Biden actually ran on being a racist.

2795.714 - 2821.82 Scott Adams

He ran on being a racist and saying he would be anti-white and he would make sure that he didn't hire a white person for a vice president. And then he pushed DEI and the fine people hoax. He was the biggest lying racist piece of shit and a crook that the country has ever known. And Axios refers to that as abandoning the high ground. Abandoning the high ground. Anyway.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of South Korea declaring martial law?

3011.904 - 3045.728 Scott Adams

Should he? Probably. Probably should. Is there any chance of it? No, there's no chance of it because the Democrats are not a honorable, honest, high ground kind of organization. We'll be lucky if they don't try to kill them. There's a report in the national polls that Canada is actually boosting their own border security because of Trump's threats. Do you think that's true? I'm not entirely sure.

0

3046.566 - 3087.749 Scott Adams

that's true, but maybe. I see people criticizing Operation Warp Speed and Trump because Trump says it was a success, but I think that most of you would say it wasn't. Now, did you know that there's now a report that that's coming out about the COVID situation from the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the select subcommittee is not a bunch of Democrats, as far as I can tell.

0

3087.769 - 3121.741 Scott Adams

Is it all Republicans? Give me a fact check on this. Is the congressional subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic, is it all Republicans? Because they have kind of a Republican take on it, so I think it is. Here's what they found. They said that the virus probably came out of the Wuhan lab. It was funded by an American group, U.S. taxpayers through EcoHealth Alliance.

0

3124.361 - 3150.052 Scott Adams

And that the rules and the mandates like to stay six feet apart and shut everything down was not based on any kind of science, as you imagined. And mostly that was just bad and wrecked the economy, destroyed small businesses, and left kids with massive learning loss and mental health problems, et cetera, and that the vaccine did not prevent transmission. But here's what it also said.

0

3151.292 - 3181.176 Scott Adams

Now, this is not my claim. This is what it said. And these are the Republicans that looked into everything to see what was a lie and what was true. So their claim is that Operation Warp Speed was a tremendous success and a model to build upon in the future. The vaccines which were are better characterized as therapeutics. So they're being honest that they did not stop any transmission to speak of.

3181.796 - 3209.82 Scott Adams

But as therapeutics, they say, undoubtedly, quote, saved millions of lives by diminishing the likelihood of severe disease and death. All right? Now, does that sound like what you believe is true? Because I think most of you don't believe that's true. And I don't know if it's true. All I know is it's something I read from somebody I don't know. So I don't know one way or the other.

3210.7 - 3238.972 Scott Adams

But the official story is this. The official story is that the vaccinations were a huge success. But you're not there, are you? Probably none of you. But you Republicans are. The people you vote for say it's a huge success. A huge success. Saved millions. At the expense of mental health of children and stuff. If you care about that.

3241.661 - 3269.407 Scott Adams

Anyway, so I don't know what's true, but I want you to know what your team says is true. So if you're on the Republican team, your team leaders are saying that the vaccinations were a huge success and something we should do again, but without the close downs and without the mandatory stuff. Are you pleased with that? If it's not mandatory. Okay. I don't know.

3269.607 - 3302.942 Scott Adams

If it's not mandatory, it feels a lot different. Speaking of, I have to get back to Hunter for a second. If you're not familiar with Mike Benz and his characterization of what the U.S. has been trying to do in Ukraine since 2014 and before... You don't understand anything about the Hunter Biden story. Your minimum entry to even know what's going on is to know Mike Benz's take.
