Chapter 1: Why is it important to have company on Christmas?
Aren't you glad I'm here? Well, I knew a lot of you would be alone today. And you would need a little extra company. And you'd like to have coffee on Christmas morning with your favorite distant friend. Distant by, you know, only distance. All right, let me call up your comments here. Oh, there we are. Where are we? Nope, that's not it. That's not it. That's it. All right, we're ready.
You're doing wine in the morning? Well, that's quite a Christmas. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of Human Civilization Christmas Edition.
Well, if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that even Santa Claus couldn't understand, all you need for that is a cuppa, a mug, or a glass of tankard shells, a stein, a canteen, a jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

Chapter 2: What movie caused controversy for Scott Adams?
Maybe it's not a good sign that this is my favorite part of the day. But it is. So I caused more trouble than I ever imagined yesterday by recommending a movie. Who in the world thought that that would cause hate? I got more hate by recommending a movie I like than just about anything that's happened to me this year since I got canceled. And here's the problem. A number of people said...
that I must be doing it for pay. So I finally said I liked the movie. I liked the movie Red One. It's a Christmas movie. And I got accused. I can't tell you how many people accused me of doing it for money and being a sellout. And I thought, really? When did it become unusual to say you like a movie on social media? And somebody said, you know, why would I be delving into this trivial stuff?
Why would you be talking about trivial things? To which I thought, is it your first day on social media? Social media is like 90% trivia, 10% substance. So I can't have a little bit of Christmas trivia? Anyway, so out of curiosity, since movies, of course, are highly subjective, there's no such thing as a good movie or a bad movie. If I could teach you one thing, it's this.
There's no such thing as good art or bad art. There's no such thing as a good comic or a bad one. There's no such thing as a good movie or a bad one. There is such thing as did people go and like it or not. If people like it, it's good. So if you're looking at the comments and you see that 80% of the people commenting say, yeah, that was a good movie. Good recommendation. I enjoyed it.
A comment that doesn't make sense is that was a bad movie. It's not a bad movie if 80% of people liked it. If 80% like it, that's a good movie by definition. Your own opinion of the movie is just your own opinion. It's not some kind of universal standard. So out of curiosity, I followed up today just to cause more trouble. which other people are saying I'm trying to just get engagement money.
But no, I'm actually curious. When I ask a question, it's usually because I actually think it would be an interesting question. So my question was, if you think Red One is not a great movie, like I do, I think it's a great movie, what would be your favorite movie recently? So I asked the people who said they didn't like Red One, what movies do you like recently?
And most of my answers were movies that were 30 to 50 years old. 30 to 50 years old. That's what people answered with their favorite recent movie was 30 to 50 years old. But there are some people who mentioned a little bit more recent movies. For example, Schindler's List and The Shawshank Redemption were high on people's list of all-time best movies. Do you know what I think of those two movies?
It's two movies that make you feel like you're in prison and or a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. And it makes you feel that the entire length of the movie. And that's your favorite movie? Who wants to feel like they're in the most horrible prison situation for three hours in a row? Mmm, popcorn. Oh, look what they're doing to him now. I'll bet that hurt. So I'm not judging. I'm not judging.
But it was hilarious to see what people's favorite movies were because some of them are so dark that I actually think that Schindler's List should be illegal. And I mean that actually literally. Schindler's List, I don't think that should be legal as a movie because I got PTSD from it. So I suffered for years of having flashbacks to the movie.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the bald eagle as the national bird?
So a tactic can change on a dime, but your core values aren't going to change on a dime. So when you see that what they think they need to do to win changed on a dime, do you think that had anything to do with core values? I doubt it. It suggests to me they didn't believe the core values that were being espoused by their own party, but they were too cowardly to say it or too loyal.
I guess you could go both ways, too cowardly or too loyal to their team. It ends up being, it looks the same. But here's the question. How in the world are they going to recover? So let me lay out the situation for the Democrats, and you tell me if you think they can recover. Because we kind of ordinarily imagine that if Republicans have a bad election, they can recover.
If Democrats have a bad election, they can recover. Because that's all we've ever seen. You know, usually there's always a comeback. But there's a real interesting situation now with the Democrats that I haven't seen before. So here's my description. Number one, Democrats have no leader. Would you agree? Now, we've talked before about, you know, Obama, you know, secretly pulling the strings.
But then other people say, no, it's the advisers. The advisers are secretly pulling the strings. And other people say, I think it's the Clintons or the deep state or the CIA or it's the military industrial complex or it's Israel. Everybody's got some idea of who's controlling the president. But would you agree that the Democrats have no identifiable leader?
I mean, Hakeem Jeffries says some things once in a while, but it's in the context of his current job. He doesn't feel like a leader of the party. They also have no popular policies. Just think about that. They have no leader, and they have no popular policies. because they got beaten, and the polls showed that the public didn't like any of their top policies. Now, I'm talking about the top ones.
Once you get down to the fifth and sixth preference, then they start getting some support, like abortion, for example. But if you look at the top three, it's just all Trump. And so they would just have to... So how are they going to win with no leader... no charismatic leader, no popular policies, let's say the top three priorities. They also have no unity.
At the moment, the Republicans are completely unified under Trump. Even Mitt Romney says, oh, it's Trump's party. The Republican Party is Trump's party. And when Mitt Romney said it, he didn't say it like an insult. He did not say it like an insult, which is pretty remarkable. Pretty remarkable. So somehow Trump found unity by simply success. Boy, if you want to unify people, try being successful.
That'll get it done. So he's got unity. And then the Democrats don't seem to have any positive messaging. So Trump's talking about the golden age and how great we're going to be. And the Democrats mostly talk about how bad we've been. Those are not competitive. How great we're going to be is a strong message.
How bad we used to be, and we have to beat ourselves up for that, you can't win with that. And then, of course, the entire party is DEI-infected, meaning that their enthusiasm for diversity should, all things being equal, cripple their effectiveness forever. Because they can't back up from diversity and DEI. There's no way out. Like once you get there, you're going to have to die in that hell.

Chapter 4: How is Greenland enhancing its military security?
And then it becomes self-fulfilling. So they're definitely circling the drain. And I feel like I've switched a little bit from, yeah, the less of them, the better. to, oh, we may have overcorrected. If we overcorrect, then we don't have a good fight. I mean, our system depends on a nice, fair fight.
So, you know, I hope Democrats can come back, but only if they're competing with good ideas this time. If they're competing with bullshit, we don't need it. Newsmax was reporting on Trump, how he did with young people, and he said, quote, we got the highest vote ever for a Republican with young people, Trump said. My son, Barron, said, Dad, you got to talk to this one and that one.
He likes Joe Rogan a lot. He said, Dad, you got to do an interview. He has a feel for young people. I might have to start thinking about TikTok, meaning keeping TikTok so we can benefit from it. Here, in my opinion, is Trump's least appreciated skill. And when I say skill, I mean way above average. Like skill. Skill like you haven't seen before skill.
His most important skill is at the age of 78, he is a really good listener. Have you heard that before? Because the bad guys, the Democrats, were all about Trump's a narcissist.
So he's not even going to listen to you, or he's going to make a decision based on the last person who talked to him, which is just laughable, or he's going to use his narcissism and he's just going to do things that are good for him, which is completely at odds with the observable fact that he's the best listener I've ever seen in politics. Does he understand what his base wants? Yes. Yes.
I've never seen anybody understand what their base wants more than Trump understands what his base wants. He knows how to joke with us. He knows how to tease us. He knows how to get us interested. He knows how to inspire. He understands his base. But it goes further than that. When he talks about listening to Barron, He was taking political advice from a teenager. Do you know why?
Why was he taking political advice, like important political advice, from a teenager? Let me tell you why. Because he listened to him. He listened to him like genuinely listened to him. And he heard things he'd never heard before. And then he probably checked it with other people. And then he operationalized it, put it into practice. Now, I see this everywhere.
And by the way, people who have talked to him in person will say the same thing. I think every one of them says the same thing, that he absolutely listens. And I'll tell you from my, I've told you this before, but my one experience where I talked to him personally when he invited me to the White House in 2018.
And I think he was just, the reason I was there, he was just, it was a slow summer, 2018, not much news. And I think he was just firming up support with the people who were public supporters. So I got an invitation. And if you can imagine this, it's like, it's beyond imagination.

Chapter 5: What does the 'Trump effect' mean in international relations?
So Ukraine came up with this great propaganda that they're so advanced with their robots and their drones that they can now launch all robot attacks, which conveniently sends the message that, sure, they're running out of human beings because they're all dead, but that won't stop their war effort because they'll just replace human beings with robot, all robot warriors.
So I would look at that first report as propaganda. I don't think you're going to see them duplicating their all-robot attack and suddenly taking Crimea back with robots. That's not going to happen. The story about that is way ahead of the reality. I feel very confident in saying that, although the reality will certainly be all robots.
There's no doubt that we'll have robot war, but not in Ukraine and not this year. So that was my best prediction about Ukraine, is that they would use drones and technology that Russia had not seen yet to make it impossible to hold ground. And I thought, really? They're going to roll tanks. They're going to bring tanks into Ukraine, and they think any of them are going to survive.
And sure enough, most of the tanks got taken out. So I beat all of the military experts on... Not the question of whether Putin would invade, but what would happen if he did. I predicted in 2019, and most of you did too, that Biden's brain was shot and there was no way he could last to the end of his term. So I beat the medical doctors, the medical experts, in my prediction about Biden's brain.
I beat the military experts on how Ukraine would fare if Russia attacked. I beat all the political experts when I said that you're going to be surprised how much the Hispanics like Trump. And I said, if you live and work among the Hispanic community, as I do, you will see that they're just basically Republicans. They love their family. They like hard work. They're willing to do it.
And their religion. And yesterday I was watching a clip of a Hispanic American saying, yeah, I think the Democrats underestimated our Catholic beliefs. They're just closer to Republican. So I alone in the entire world predicted that although Trump was being demonized for his border policies, that he would gain in Hispanic votes. I alone, in the entire world, predicted that.
Now, I say I alone, I mean in just the political pundit class. There might be plenty of you who predicted it, too. I also predicted that Trump would pick up black votes mostly among men, long before it happened.
So at the same time that people were saying, you know, find people hoax and everything else that seemed impossible, I said, you might not win the black vote, but watch what he does with black men. Sure enough, black men. I also told you way before anybody was onto it that the Democrats were becoming the party of women and men who were willing to go along with the women.
And sure enough, they became the party of women. I also predicted... that the fine people hoax wasn't like the others, and that it was the tentpole hoax. And if you could pull out the tentpole, the entire tent would come down. And I think that's what happened. I think that with the amazing work of Steve Cortez and Joel Pollack and I, the three horsemen of the anti-fine people hoax,

Chapter 6: What challenges are the Democrats facing currently?
Are you genuinely confused about why Ben Shapiro would not debate Nick Fuentes? That can't be a real question. And by the way, I'm not insulting Nick Fuentes. I'm just saying it wouldn't make any sense for Ben to talk to him. I wouldn't want to see that. I wouldn't want to see it at all. And I wouldn't recommend he do it. Santa looks like me without the beard?
It's funny you should say that, because I was saying that while I was watching the show. I was joking about Santa being too much like me. All right. I'm going to go talk to the locals people privately. How about Matt Walsh? What about him? You mean to talk to Nick Fuentes? How about never ask me that again?
I'm going to put on the list of things I never want to answer or see a question on is who should talk to Nick Fuentes. And I'm not insulting Nick. I'm just saying, I don't want to really even deal with that question again. Because the problem is, let me be more specific. Nick Fuentes, his business model involves creating controversy that would rub off on anybody who got near him.
Why do you think the people you like should get near him? Because you hate them? When does Christmas start? It's already on. We've got the Christmas trolls in the comments. Yeah, I mean, you can love him or hate him, but don't ask other people to be part of his act. His act does not really lend itself to guests. Now, I'm talking to somebody who got canceled.
Now, trust me when I say half of the country, at least half, would have no interest in dealing with me. I had the experience recently of asking, and this is rare, I don't ask people to be guests on the show a lot. But there was one person in the public domain, I won't be specific, who I've chatted with a thousand times, maybe a thousand times.
So somebody I know really well and somebody who at one point had been a big fan. And I asked that person to come on my show because that person would be unusually interesting. And I got turned down hard. I got a hard turndown. But I think the answer was, if I'm ever interested, I'll let you know. What?
This was somebody that I had quite an extensive multi-year ongoing conversation with, and it was all positive. But after I got canceled, nope. Nope. Now, was he wrong? It was a he. Was he wrong? I'm not going to tell you who it was, but if I did tell you who it was... He was probably right. He was probably right. I would be a reputational stain on his world, and he doesn't need that.
Why would he do that? So I completely understand if somebody doesn't want to go on Nick Fuentes in exactly the same way I understand if somebody doesn't want to come on my show. because I do present a reputational risk. And that's just a fact. It has nothing to do with my character or anything else. I don't take it personally.
So I didn't take it personally when I got turned down by somebody who kind of surprised me. But if you looked at what their job is, or let's say their role in the world, I won't call it the job, but if you look at their role in the world, Yeah, yeah. Keeping the canceled guys staying off of him. Probably a good play. He's got other fish to fry. All right. Well, we appreciate you all, too.
