1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: This is what happens when the fourth Turning meets fifth

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: generation warfare.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: A commentator, international social media sensation and former Navy intelligence veteran.

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: This is Human Events with your host Jack Persovic.

5
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: Christ Is King, Ladies and gentle and welcome on board

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: today's edition of Human Events Daily. Today is January thirteenth,

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: twenty six. I know, Domini, We're honored once again to

8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: have here on Human Events Daily the director of Ice,

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: mister todd Lyons Todd, thank you so much for joining

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: us today.

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 4: Thanks Jack. Good seeing again.

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: Well, mister director. Obviously a lot has changed since the

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: last time you and I spoke right there on the

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: south lawn of the White House. I've just gotten back

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: from Minneapolis myself. Human Events does have a crew that's

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: there on the field. What can you tell us about

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: these operations in Minneapolis that the entire country is talking about?

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: And specifically, I guess I would say, what do you

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: think that the media is getting wrong about the narrative here?

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 5: You know, I think the first thing Jack, that the

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: mainstream media is really missing the point on as the

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 5: fact that they're kind of painting this as an invasion

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 5: of the Department of Homeland Security, resources, right that there's

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 5: such a big surge, you know, and overreach of the government,

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 5: but I think a lot of people are losing sight ons.

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 5: Two really key things. Number One, the reason what got

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 5: us there in the first place the fraudulent behaviors when

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 5: it came to the smally fraud daycare fraud, social welfare

29
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 5: fraud at the tune of almost nine billion dollars, right,

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: So we did frontload a lot of Homeland Security Investigation

31
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 5: special agents up there for that, So that was number one.

32
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 5: Number two, obviously, Minnesota, Minneapolis in general, is a sanctuary city,

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 5: so we were already conducting our lawful, law enforcedmissions while

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 5: we were out there. You know, ICE has always been

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 5: in Minnesota for ever since the inception of ICE, I

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 5: would say for two decades plus, we've had a field

37
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 5: office for enforcement removal operations as well as a sack

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: office special Agent in charge for Homeland Security investigations up there,

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 5: So we've always been in Minnesota.

40
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: So we have seen such.

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 5: An increase of criminally legal aliens that were not turned

42
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 5: over to ICE or other federal authorities and re release

43
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 5: back onto the streets of not only Minneapolis, but Minnesota.

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 5: So we were already there conducting our law enforcementermission. Now

45
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 5: you take those two parts and incorporated with the fact

46
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 5: that what the mainstream media is showing is our reaction

47
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 5: to all the protesters, the you know, the violent agitators,

48
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 5: the vehicle rammings, et cetera. After getting on scene and

49
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: trying to arrest one of these criminal legal aliens, we

50
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 5: usually make an arrest five six special agents deportation officers.

51
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 5: Now we're having to go out with almost fifteen law

52
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 5: enforcement officers just to you know, provide security for that

53
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: team making that arrest. So obviously, Minneapolis Police, we're not

54
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 5: coming to our help. Minnesota State Police weren't coming to

55
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 5: our help. You know, yesterday there was a press conference

56
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 5: from the Attorney General Keith Ellison and from the mayor

57
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: that talked about the reason why they were suing DHS

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 5: and they highlighted the fact that we're not in Texas

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: or Florida or Utah. Well, what I say to that

60
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: is when we do conduct our operations down there, A,

61
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 5: they are turning individuals over to us, and B if

62
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: we have a situation like this, local and state law

63
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: enforcement partners come to our aid and help federal law

64
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: enforcement offices, we're not seeing that. So there are so

65
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 5: many incidents that the mainstream media is showing that is

66
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 5: just totally unavoidable because of these violent agitators and protesters

67
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 5: that are being fueled by such politic political rhetoric all

68
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 5: across this country.

69
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Now, Director Lyons, I've got some of the stats here

70
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: as well, and the numbers that I'm looking at, and

71
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but it says Minnesota and

72
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: Minneapolis officials have refused to honor over one thousand, three

73
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty ICE detainers. And for folks who don't

74
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: understand this, the way a detainer works is that means

75
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: someone who's been arrested for something else that they just

76
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: hold on to hold on to them in custody and

77
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: then remand them to ICE. Now, because they're not honoring

78
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: these detainers, that's the reason why these operations have to

79
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: take place. But because in other states where you do

80
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: have that level of local law enforcement cooperation or i

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: should say really local political cooperation, because that seems to

82
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: be what the hang up is. These these handoffs can

83
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: happen at a jailhouse, it can happen at a courthouse,

84
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: a prison site, something where it's safe, it's controlled. But

85
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: now when they're just letting them out into the public,

86
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: that's what's creating such a dangerous situation, not just for

87
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: your agents and officers in ICE HSI, but also for

88
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: the public at large. Do I have that right? It's

89
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: almost fifteen hundred that they haven't honored.

90
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 4: Yep, almost fifteen hundred.

91
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 5: And if you look at it right, Jack make a

92
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: great point to the fact that I would much rather

93
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: have the men and women of ICE go into a

94
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 5: secure location.

95
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 4: No, even if they don't want to hold.

96
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 5: Them the twenty four to forty eight hours forced to

97
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 5: get there, just notify us that hey, in the next

98
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 5: two hours, we're going to release this individual and we

99
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 5: will come meet them.

100
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 4: We'll meet you at the back door.

101
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 5: But you know, one thing that you always hear about

102
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 5: these agencies or state officials say, you know, they don't

103
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 5: have to honor the ICE at tangents.

104
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: Which they don't.

105
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 5: But what boggles my mind is the fact that these

106
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 5: law enforcement agencies have already deemed this person a public

107
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 5: safety threat. You've already taken the actions and the steps

108
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: to arrest and detained this individual. Why would you not

109
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: want to turn them over to the federal authorities that

110
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 5: could then handle that case to the next step. It

111
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 5: absolutely makes no sense when they talk about sanctuary cities

112
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 5: protecting the public and protecting neighborhoods. How are you protecting

113
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 5: the public if you re release a fellon back into society.

114
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 5: And I'll go back to Secretary Nomes just recent ride

115
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 5: along with us up in Saint Paul and the case

116
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: that was highlighted. It was an individual that was led

117
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 5: in on the last administration. It was known at the

118
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 5: time that he had a conviction of ten years plus

119
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: for kidnapping, strangulation and he was wanted at Ecuador from murder.

120
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: He came into the United States.

121
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 5: He is accused of sexual assault of a child in Connecticut.

122
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 5: Fled Connecticut with this open and worn It was now

123
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 5: Roman streets working hiding a plain site in Minneapolis. I

124
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 5: don't know anybody that wants to argue with me on

125
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 5: the fact that ICE isn't protecting children and protecting neighborhoods

126
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 5: when we're out arresting people just like that. And that's

127
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 5: the thirteen hundred that you talked about, you know, same data.

128
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 5: Secretary Nome was out there. We had two individuals that

129
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 5: were released from Rice County, which is close by. They

130
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 5: had been released for aggravated sexual assault of a minor,

131
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 5: So why would any politician want that individual back in

132
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: their neighborhood.

133
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: And we see this again and again, just like the

134
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: one out in Portland where you know, at first we

135
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: hear that it was a man and woman. Now it

136
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: turns out there a couple of trendy or ragwell linked

137
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: some kind of sex trafficking operation. Just just some of

138
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: the most horrible stuff that you see going on. And

139
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: it's clear, by the way, and I remember the last

140
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: time you came on, that's exactly what we talked about.

141
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: You said, that's the worst go first, that those are

142
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: the individuals that are going to be focused on. This

143
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: isn't people who are just sort of, you know, running around,

144
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: It's actually people who have committed these heinous, violent crimes. Now,

145
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: when we look at that rit forward, you mentioned the

146
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: ramming attacks, and I wanted to drill down on that

147
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. Obviously we've seen the incident that's gone

148
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: throughout the country, throughout the world, people are talking about it,

149
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: But tell people about the ramming attacks that have gone

150
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: on as a persistent trend because this isn't the first

151
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: time we've seen this something like this, is it?

152
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 5: No, And unfortunately it's really increased within the past several weeks.

153
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 5: We can narrow it down to the past three weeks.

154
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: We can say right up maybe the week before Christmas,

155
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 5: we've seen over just alone with ICE not cutting out

156
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 5: of the federal partners, over one hundred vehicle ramming assault

157
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 5: incidents with the car. We first saw this trend, and

158
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 5: maybe Midsummer when we saw a lot of resistance, a

159
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 5: lot of agitated. There's a lot of folks showing up

160
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 5: at a law enforcement scene the head no right to

161
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 5: be there, and all of a sudden, we have, you know,

162
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 5: us citizens, these other people injecting themselves into an ICE

163
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: arrest and using their vehicle to ram or repeede special

164
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 5: agents and deportation officers thinking that there weren't going to

165
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 5: be any repercussions. So in the beginning, we saw the

166
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 5: first few and we just couldn't believe what was going on.

167
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 5: Us Attorney's office was helping us, they were making the arrest.

168
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 5: It was great, But now it's just common the norm,

169
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: Like you would think that as a playbook right now,

170
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 5: and that's what they're using, and you know, even the

171
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: criminal legual aliens now know, go ahead and just ramized vehicles,

172
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 5: take off, drive through fences, try to run officers over,

173
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 5: because day in, day out, that's a constant tool and

174
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 5: impediment we're seeing not only in Minnesota but all across

175
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: the country.

176
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Well, and certainly that it doesn't help when you have

177
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,239
Speaker 1: these disruptors that are showing up clearly find clearly orchestrated,

178
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: that are then aiding in embedding in the escape pap

179
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: of these criminal illegal aliens. Director Alianes, I know you

180
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: have to run here, just have a minute left. I

181
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: did want to ask, though, we know there's an investigation

182
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: now that's pending into the officer involved shooting. Are you

183
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: able to give us an update on that investigation at all?

184
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 5: Well, now, you know what I can say, Jack, is

185
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 5: that we're working with our federal partners, with the FBI,

186
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 5: Department of Justice. We're looking at all aspects of the case.

187
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 5: But hopefully, you know, there'll be a lot of lessons

188
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 5: learned from this, and I think on both sides we

189
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 5: have to go ahead and tone down this political rhetoric.

190
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 5: And unfortunately, I truly believe that that's what led to

191
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 5: this unfortunate incident. You know, our hearts, minds and prayers

192
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 5: go out to everyone that's involved. No one everone wants

193
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 5: to see a deadly forced incident, No law enforcement officer,

194
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 5: everyone wants to be involved in a deadly forced incident.

195
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 5: But the political rhetoric and the demonization of ice has

196
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 5: to stop, and it has to stop with elected officials first.

197
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: Well, I couldn't agree more, Director Alliance, thank you so

198
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: much for your time, and our thoughts and prayers go

199
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: out to the efforts of your many agents and officers

200
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: that are putting themselves in harm's way to take care

201
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: of cleaning up our streets and cleaning up our country.

202
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: Thank you, Jack again, We really appreciate your continued support

203
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 5: and it's a great scene.

204
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: Again, God bless you. All Right, folks, we'll be right

205
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: back here. Human Events Daily. That's Director todd Lyons of Immigration,

206
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement right back.

207
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 6: Nothing will stand in our way, and our golden age

208
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 6: has just begun.

209
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: This is Human Events with Jack Posovic. Now it's time

210
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: for everyone to understand what America First truly means. Welcome

211
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: to the Second American Revolution.

212
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 7: Many of my Christian friends have asked me to find

213
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 7: Jesus before I go. I'm a believer, but I have

214
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 7: to admit the risk reward calculation for doing so looks

215
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 7: so attractive to me. So here I go. I accept

216
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 7: Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and look forward

217
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 7: to spending an eternity with him. The part about me

218
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 7: not being a believer should be quite quickly resolved if

219
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 7: I wake up in heaven. I won't need any more

220
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 7: convincing than that. I hope I'm still qualified for entry.

221
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 8: To my Christian friends, Yes, it's coming, so you don't

222
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 8: need to talk me into it. I am now convinced

223
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 8: that the risk reward is completely smart. I also have

224
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 8: respect for any Christian who goes out of the way

225
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 8: to try to convert me, because how would I believe

226
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 8: you believed your own religion not trying to comfort me.

227
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 7: I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and

228
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 7: look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part

229
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 7: about me not being a believer should be quite quickly

230
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 7: resolved if I wake up in heaven.

231
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

232
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 9: You know, what's the weirdest thing is that AI happened

233
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 9: at the same time my book was going to come

234
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 9: out and turns out there's a sort of an intersection

235
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 9: that makes sense. We figured out that you can make

236
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 9: something like intelligence just by looking at word patterns that

237
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 9: already exist, that people have already spoken or written, and

238
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 9: just looking at the patterns and frequencies of words, you

239
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 9: could produce something like intelligence. Well, this is something hypnotists

240
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 9: have known forever. I'm also a trained hypnotist. So reframes

241
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 9: are basically a little code of words that you can

242
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 9: insert into your brain just by reading the sentence. And

243
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 9: much like the way AI works, you can actually reprogram

244
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 9: your brain, which is.

245
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: It's just word word word word, and then an.

246
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: LM as you.

247
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 10: I've always thought your explanation of an LM is the

248
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 10: best because it's just predicting what the next word is

249
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 10: going to be or the next string of words.

250
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: And they use mapping to do this.

251
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 10: And so people who don't have an object an object view,

252
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 10: an object model of reality like computers could, because computers

253
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 10: can't understand reality the way that we do at least,

254
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 10: or perhaps we have a better object view. That's why

255
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 10: people aren't computers and computers aren't people. But the real

256
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 10: interesting thing that Devin Erickson is talking about is there's

257
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 10: a lot of people you meet and they could be

258
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 10: they could be doctors, they could be experts, they could

259
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 10: be researchers, they could be scientists. And the minute that

260
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 10: you that you sort of question their language model by

261
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 10: referring to something in reality, it all sort of falls apart.

262
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the kind of composition of love.

263
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 11: Who's a person who's an NBC. Yeah, I keep thinking

264
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 11: I'm gonna wake up in the games here find out

265
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 11: for a whole it was like one hour experience, but

266
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 11: I thought it was my life.

267
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: All right, So folks, Jack Soviek, we're back live here

268
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: Human Events Daily this morning. I was originally scheduled to

269
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: do a live stream on coffee with Scott Adams, where

270
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Scott Adams, the cartoonists of course, known as the creator Dilbert,

271
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: would come on every morning ten a m. Eastern and

272
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: would write the you know, go through the news of

273
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: the day and reframe it in a way that you

274
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: know that'd be interesting and always have a great spin

275
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: on it. And he was someone who you know, supported

276
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: Trump and explained Trump. But one of the earliest, really

277
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: probably the first celebrity to come out and say that

278
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: he supported Trump and that he thought Trump would win.

279
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: Incredible author urge everyone to read the books and as so,

280
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: just to kind of tell the story from my perspective,

281
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: I guess what happened this morning was he had been

282
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: doing his last couple shows. He'd been having sort of

283
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: guests and longtime followers and subscribers come on and it

284
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: was sort of just a chatting with Scott kind of

285
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: meet up, and they asked about to come on this

286
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: morning around nine point thirty am. I said, of course,

287
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: I'd be more than happy to so I I got

288
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: home to grab my mug, and then right before we

289
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: all went live is when Shelley Adams came on. And

290
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: Shelley had been Scott's former wife, but they're still very close,

291
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: and she came on and you could you could see

292
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: her face. It was just written all over her face

293
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: that you know what had happened and didn't didn't need

294
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: to ask, and she said that she was going to

295
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: read Scott's last statement, which she did, and I believe guys,

296
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: do we have and do we have video of the

297
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: intro from today that that I ended up doing or

298
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: now we'll check on that with the yeah, with the yeah,

299
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: with the sip, yeah, let's play the let's play the sip.

300
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: So they asked me to do the sip. Yeah, no,

301
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: I said I'd be honored, and I didn't think I'd

302
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: be doing two shows like this, so so close to

303
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: each other. But here we are, so folks, as everyone knows,

304
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: all you need is a cup, a mug or a glass,

305
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: a tankered chalice or stein, a canteen, jug or flask,

306
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite

307
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: liquid we like coffee, and join us all now for

308
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the

309
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: thing that makes everything better, even saying good bye to

310
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: old friends, the simultaneous sip, and it happens. Now go

00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: to Scott, to Scott, thank you Scott. And so I

312
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,679

323
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: more than the cartoon, so much more, which was a

324
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: great cartoon, by the way, bringing people together. Being a

325
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: Trump supporter in those early early days twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen,

336
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 6: Today. You know that you talk about influences, These are influences.

337
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 9: And they're friends of mine.

338
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 6: Jack Jack, He's got a breakdown, all.

339
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: Right, folks for back, Jack Pasoviac here, Human Events Daily,

340
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, listen up. It is flu season and

341
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: that means it's also flu shot season. But after everything

342
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: we've been through over the past five years, the number

343
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: of people getting flu shots is at a record low,

344
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: not to mention the fact that, according to the CDC's

345
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: own data, the flu shot is moderately effective at best,

346
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: and that's not even accounting for vaccine injuries. Well, there's

347
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: a much better way to stay healthy. Grab a contagion

348
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: emergency kit from the wellness company. If you wake up

349
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: with a sore throat or a running nose, address your

350
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: symptoms immediately with doctor prescribed kit containing Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquin, generic tamaflu,

351
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: generic zpack, and much much more. It's like having an

352
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: urgent care in your own home. I've got the contagent

353
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: emergency Kit myself from a wellness company. I take it

354
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: when I travel. Took it to Minneapolis this weekend because

355
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: I refuse to be trapped in line at an emergency

356
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: room or rely on expensive insurance. If I just catch

357
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: a cold, simply open my kit, I reference the doctor

358
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: written guidebook for safe use, and I get back to

359
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: my life. This kit is literally a life saver, with

360
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: thousands of reviews from people just like you and me

379
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,520

Speaker 12: He today simultaneously greeted by angels.

00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: Scott would always say so. So keV, just just talk

383
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: about how I mean, Scott Adams was someone who our

384
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: whole family from from you, me, Mom and Dad, Tanya, Tay,

385
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: the kids. Would you know, would hear him, hear his

386
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: voice every day? Just he's always been a member of

387
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: the post whole household, not just the Daily Show, but

388
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: increasingly his books. And this is something where folks, if

389
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: you didn't listen to the Daily Show, which is just

390
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 1: it is what it is, you kind of had to

391
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: be there. Kevin, tell me a little bit about some

392
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: of the importance of Scott Adams's incredible books. And you

393
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: can you can pick whichever one you want.

394
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 12: Well, sure, I have a couple of reframes that were

395
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 12: personal favorites of mind.

396
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: And what's a refrase? What's what's during so what's a refrase?

397
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 12: But during the well, especially during COVID, the Paris Groops,

398
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 12: that he had man the simultaneous zips and he would

399
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 12: get people together during the lockdowns and have a second

400
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 12: show at nighttime where he would even do like the

401
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 12: simultaneous slattle and U I mean that was just next level.

402
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 12: Well nobody else was doing that, and he didn't have

403
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 12: to do any of that, but he loved he really

404
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 12: loved his community, and you know, talk about like the

405
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 12: Christianity thing, like you can tell when somebody has the

406
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 12: Holy Spirit moving through and he was his spiritual level

407
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 12: was off the charts.

408
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: And but yeah, two.

409
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 12: Of them are his most recent. One was about social

410
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 12: anxiety and the reframes where if you could be at

411
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 12: a party and have trouble introducing yourself to people, maybe

412
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 12: never been to prom and whatnot, he said, if you

413
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 12: could reframe it could just go up to the hostess.

414
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 12: You know, you can always kind of find out who

415
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 12: the alful woman is of the party. They love that,

416
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 12: and she will kindly introduce you to another person. And

417
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 12: then you can take that and simply duplicate it. And

418
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 12: the way Scott says it is you could be the

419
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 12: hero of the party by just introducing yourself to other people,

420
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 12: not only for yourself but to help them.

421
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: And through my own.

422
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 12: Work, I heavily related to that, and just the way

423
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 12: Scott was with his words just did wonders. And he

424
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 12: even said it in the stream. It's that, you know,

425
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 12: you could be the life saver of the party. And

426
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 12: there's no dispute in that, Like everybody's there.

427
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so so for folks who here keV real quick.

428
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: So for folks who who don't know, Scott had this

429
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: great book, one of his one of his last books.

430
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: I have to double check because he did some like

431
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: re releases and edited by the great Joshua Lysac who

432
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: also co wrote on Humans and Bulletproof with me and

433
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Scott is who introduced me and Joshua, so like that's

434
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: how we got together. But he had this incredible book,

435
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: Reframed Your Brain, and it's just it's just changing the

436
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: operating system to your thoughts, changing the operating system. I

437
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: think it was twenty twenty three and we had him.

438
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: He came on Human Events when it came out about it,

439
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: and the idea is changing if you change your perspective

440
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: on a situation, and you mentioned, yeah, that's one of

441
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: his most famous ones. Social anxiety. Going to a party,

442
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, think of it as a game. Think of

443
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: it as and you're scoring points in a game rather

444
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: than having to go and be with people that you

445
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need facts. It's just you're changing your whole perspective.

446
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: And in fact, gamification is one of the big ones.

447
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: But it's this whole book where it just goes, reframes, reframes, reframes.

448
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: One of the ones that I know that he did

449
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: with drinking. For a lot of people, alcohol is poison.

450
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: Just alcohol is poison. Just say that in your mind

451
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: alcohol is poisoned. That's like something that people can relate to.

452
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: So reframe your brain this incredible way of I've got

453
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: a couple here, reframed that. Reframe manager time too, to

454
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: manage your energy. Well, hold one second and then reframe. Oh,

455
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: I think you just kind of explained this. Success depends

456
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: on who you know, to success depends on how many

457
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: people you know. That's right. What's the basket case one?

458
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 12: It ties into the social anxiety thing, and it's just

459
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 12: a matter of reason really where it's like if you

460
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 12: get called a basket case or crazy, or if you

461
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 12: think differently than the majority of people, just understand that, hey,

462
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 12: like you might not know everybody at first they're strangers,

463
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 12: but once you get to know them, you realize that

464
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 12: they're also basket cases too, and everybody kind of has

465
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 12: wild thoughts and sometimes intrusive thoughts. And to just acknowledge

466
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 12: that everybody is like you, and you know, I'm not unique,

467
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 12: but you know there's no way there can only be

468
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 12: one basket case in this whole world. So that's also alleviating,

469
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 12: especially when you go into size.

470
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: Do you hear, Kevin, We've got We're coming up on

471

509
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: number of Scott Adams's books, including the one we were

510
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: just discussing and reframe your brain. Joshua, Thank you for

511
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: joining us.

512
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me on Jack Kevin, good to.

513
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: See you Well's and it's as we know, certainly, and

514
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: this has kind of impromptu and hopefully we'll be able

515
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: to put together more of a long form show at

516
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: some point on all of this. But Joshua, just aside

517
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: from just the books Reframe Your Brain, Loser, Think Win Bigley,

518
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: talk to us what it was light about, what it

519
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: was like working with Scott Adams.

520
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: What I appreciate about Scott and our relationship is that he,

521
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: of course had been publishing and writing stuff before I

522
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 3: had been born. And when you have that level of

523
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: difference between let's say the services provider and the client,

524
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: you can kind of expect there to be something like

525
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 3: an imbalance. But from the get go, Scott treated me

526
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: not simply like a peer, but like a trusted advisor.

527
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: And when we were working on sections of Reframe your Brain,

528
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 3: I would make a suggestion about an area and he

529
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: would say, okay, go ahead and write what you want there.

530
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: That sounds good to me. And that level of trust

531
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: that he provided you tend not to see from someone

532
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: who has as high a profile and as established as

533
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: a brand. So I guess you could say that Scott

534
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: kind of he ruined me for future authors, I guess

535
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 3: you could say. But he had a humility that he

536
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: taught us through the reframe about ego where he says

537
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: that ego is a tool. It's something that you can

538
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: turn on or off. You can dial it up or

539
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: dial it down as needed. And he very much so

540
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 3: did embody that in our relationship.

541
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's incredible. So when you would work on something

542
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: because you even went in for resoing your brain that

543
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: was a book that were you the initial editor on

544
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: it or or just the second.

545
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: Edition that was the first edition.

546
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I'm thinking of you know what I'm thinking

547
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: of God's Degree. That's what I'm thinking of.

548
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 4: Yes, we did.

549
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: We work on a third installment together and I did

550
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: come in towards the beginning of that one. Yes, that

551
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: was fun. Talk about the pleasure of a career working

552
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: on fiction with Scott Adams.

553
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: That's really cool. So so Joshua hit hit some of

554
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: those those books for all of us to go through.

555
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: So there's loser think I think is that the first

556
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: one you got to get as you can, really you

557
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: can if you wish one to whold. Actually no, I'm wrong,

558
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: it's how to how to fail at Everything and still

559
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: succeed is the first one, and then Loser Think, and

560
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe Reframe your Brain. But you know

561
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: what's interesting is, actually, now that I think about it,

562
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: I think I've debunked myself in my own mind, because

563
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: you don't really need to pick anyone to start with.

564
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: You could start anywhere, can't you?

565
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: You can't. Yes.

566
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: In terms of which book has the most sort of

567
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: Scott Adam's lore in it, I believe Reframe your Brain

568
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 3: that was his latest one. That's nonfiction from twenty twenty three.

569
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 3: That's a first edition book. The others, of course, like

570
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 3: Win Big Lee the second edition, Loser Think second edition,

571
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: How to Fail at Almost Everything Is to Win Big

572
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: second edition, Those do have some bonus content, some new material,

573
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 3: particularly the Win Big Lee second edition, because that was

574
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: sort of reflection on the first Trump administration, additional prediction analysis,

575
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 3: what Scott got right, to what extent he got it,

576
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: how the book was even deployed within the Trump administration

577
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: the first time around, which was fantastic, and also his

578
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: analysis of the twenty twenty four presidential campaign. But of

579
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: all of them, I tend people to Reframe your Brain first,

580
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 3: because it's sort of a collection of Scott's greatest hits

581
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: from some of his previous books, plus his most recent

582
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 3: thinking on life progression. So how do you get where

583
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 3: you want to go in life?

584
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: The most?

585
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: I say that the has the highest density of hypnotic

586
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 3: persuasion worked into it, and of course it's consistently the

587
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 3: number one best selling book in hypnosis category on Amazon.

588
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: That's incredible. So Kevin, jump back to you a little bit,

589
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: because it was really twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen on Twitter

590
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: when many of us who were you know, we're out there,

591
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: we're doing things. The Trump movement had just gotten started,

592
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: and then along comes this guy, I remember, keV did it.

593
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: What did it feel like when all of a sudden,

594
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, the guy who's the Dilbert guy, suddenly starts

595
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: talking about Donald Trump and how he thinks he's going

596
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: to not only win but also be a great president.

597
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: Just just talk us through what it was like in

598
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 1: that era when everybody was writing Trump off.

599
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 12: Well, in that era, you and I were was tied

600
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 12: into it and there wasn't really, like you said, any

601
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 12: famous voices supporting Trump in such a way. And as

602
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 12: we know, like Trump himself was of previous celebrity, and

603
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 12: I got to tell you through periscope and whatnot. One

604
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 12: of the first times that I came to be introduced

605
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 12: to Scott was through the the classic now famous the

606
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 12: two movies on one screen, and that he was breaking

607
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 12: it all down for us through watching the legacy media

608
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 12: in that you know, he would watch CNN and these

609
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 12: other legacy medias while Fox would be saying another thing.

610
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 12: And he really broke it down so clearly, but with

611
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 12: such great analogies. As a comic would just imagine yourself

612
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 12: being in a movie theater and watching two movies on

613
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 12: one screen, and I said.

614
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: Wow, Boom instantly.

615
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 12: Understood with what he was trying to communicate to us,

616
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 12: and that helped me understand on such a macro scale.

617
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 4: That this is what we're experiencing.

618
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 12: And I was just in Minneapolis, so I was witnessing

619
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 12: this first band so we have as director Lions was

620
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 12: just on and speaking to is that you have on

621
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 12: one side, iused operations lawfully conducting what they need to do,

622
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 12: and on the other side just blatant, reckless protesters, Antifa sales,

623
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 12: all this, and and so it's no longer just a movie.

624
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 12: This is happening in real time, and you know, thank goodness,

625
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 12: and I want to touch on a Commander Baveno too.

626
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 12: He kind of reminds me of Scott and that these

627
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 12: leaders need to be composed and understand the psychological projection

628
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 12: that is happening here in real time to be an

629
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 12: effective leader in that way, and.

630
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 4: Just understand these people are just they're just.

631
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 12: Watching a different movie and that is unsettling to accept,

632
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 12: but that is also reality and we're dealing with it

633
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 12: in real mind.

634
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: We had direct relions on just talking about this. You know,

635
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: I can remember just sitting there kind of scratching my

636
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: head and I, you know, back in twenty sixteen and

637
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: that time, it's like the Dilbert guy really and you know,

638
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: be honest that I definitely remember. So I was a

639
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: big keV. You remember, I was a big crossroad puzzle guy.

640
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: So Dad would always start the crossword puzzle every morning

641
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: at the Narristown Times Herald, and would you know, would

642
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: would start the crossword, but he would always leave a

643
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: bunch of unanswered and he would go, I left you

644
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: the easy ones. And then I'd pick it up and

645
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: I'd read that and I'd want to do the Crossroad puzzle,

646
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: and then i'd of course read the cartoons, and then

647
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: eventually I started reading the articles and then all this happened.

648
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: But I remember Dilbert was one of the ones where

649
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: I have to say I didn't get it at first.

650
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: I totally didn't get Dilbert because I was, I don't know,

651
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: I was still like in grade school and then high school,

652
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: and I was I hadn't been in that environment yet.

653
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: And then it wasn't until later, you know, I started

654
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: working in offices, uh, interning and then other placess that, oh,

655
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: I totally get. So it's something I got as I was.

656
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely not written for uh, for the

657
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: younger crowd. But I mean, you look at this guy.

658
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: Nobody else would would come out, and you think about

659
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: it too, the same way that what are the celebrities

660
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: doing now? They're attacking Ice? But Scott Adams was one

661
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: of the first ones that came out, and he stood

662
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 1: with Trump the same way that you're not seeing others.

663
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: No celebrities are coming out for Ice to They're all

664
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: attacking Ice. They're attacking this agent who's by the way,

665
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: in a rack War combat veteran, and this was a

666
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: guy who not only did Scott Adams come out and

667
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: support Trump, he advocated for him. Kevin, give everyone your coordinates.

Speaker 1: And we're going to turn her around.

680
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 12: This make our country way to get him payment.

681
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: All right, Jack Prosobic, We are back here Human Events Daily.

682
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: We're on with Joshua Lesk, who edited many of Scott's books,

683
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: and Joshua, you've got you. You wrote a piece last

684
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: year four Human events dot Com about some of the

685
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: life lessons the wisdom of Scott Adams that went on

686
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: to be I was actually just informed of this because

687
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: we're going through sort of our end of the year

688
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: review and I was actually informed that ended up being

689
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: one of our top pieces at Humanevents dot com for

690
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: the entire year. So even beyond scoops, exclusives, et cetera,

691
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: all everything that we did, it was that your piece

692
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: on Scott Adams that ended up being one of our

693
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: top for the year. You're back today a really interesting

694
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: piece at human events dot com. It says it says

695
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: Scott Adams nineteen fifty seven to twenty twenty six. I

696
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: loved you all to the very end. And it opens

697
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: like this on January thirteenth, forty twenty six, a full

698
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: to millennia from today, someone somewhere will be discovering Scott

699
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: adams work for the first time in their life and

700
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: it will change their life forever. Joshua, walk us through

701
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: your piece today and why you wrote this.

702
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 3: Thank you, Jack. Scott Adams was the Mark Twain of

703
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: King Solomon's. His advice was timeless, it was perennial, and

704
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 3: I brought up before the break that some of his

705
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 3: let's say, greatest hits and highlights that appear and reframe

706
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 3: your brain twenty twenty three first appeared in nineteen ninety seven,

707
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: The Dilber Future. So Scott had seen the future. He

708
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 3: knew what was going to be valuable, what was going

709
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 3: to be useful so many of the of life, business, career,

710
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 3: money management, health, wellness, lifestyle, fitness, social skills, and mental health.

711
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 3: He had figured it out a very long time ago,

712
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 3: and had literally decades to test it, to perfect it

713
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 3: even and to prove it out.

714
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: So often, when there's a.

715
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: Public figure and they put some advice out there, there's

716
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 3: not necessarily a feedback loop to determine if they were

717
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 3: right or wrong. But in the same way that the

718
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: proverbs of Solomon and the Bible have proven themselves out

719
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 3: for more than two millennia, I expect we'll say the

720
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 3: same thing with Scott in the event that there remains

721
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 3: a place called the United States of America, and a

722
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 3: couple millennia from now, there will be Americans who are

723
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 3: leaning on the wisdom of that great patriot Scott Adams,

724
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 3: And who knows what the English language will sound like

725
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 3: at that point. There might be future editions and translations

726
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 3: of his work by that point, but his wit and

727
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: his charm and his way to issue simple, direct advice

728
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 3: is remarkable, and I think he was the first person

729
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 3: to successfully take the entire body of work from the

730
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 3: profession of clinical hypnosis, which of course has centuries behind it,

731
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 3: innumerable numbers of peer reviewed studies behind it.

732
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 4: But he was able to.

733
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 3: Take that out of the clinical context and make it

734
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: accessible and practical for the every day person to have

735
00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 3: little micro hypnotic trances that reprogram them for success and

736
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: happiness and in many cases relieving people of depression, anxiety,

737
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 3: other concerns that would have held them back. And he

738
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 3: set many free, perhaps millions of people free to be

739
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 3: the person they were created to be. And I can't

740
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 3: think of anyone who has that much of an impact

741
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 3: on as many people for as much a period of

742
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 3: time as our Internet dad, Scott Adams.

743
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: It's tremendous.

744
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 4: By the way.

745
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: I actually so funny enough. I was at this used

746
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: bookstore a couple of years ago and I saw this

747
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: copy of Just Just running around, and I saw this

748
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: copy of that same book, The Gilbert's Predictions for the Future,

749
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: that came out in ninety seven, and I picked up

750
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: a copy of it, and I was like, I was like, Oh,

751
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: this is going to be such a good troll opportunity

752
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: because I'm just going to be able to find all

753
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: these predictions that he got wrong. And then I was like,

754
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to tweet them out and totally mess with Scott,

755
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: and this is going to be so fun. And I

756
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: started opening the book and I'm like, oh, wait, well

757
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: that came true. And this thing about the internet, oh yeah,

758
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: that definitely happened. And and then like we said, well

759
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: that people are going to be connected over times and

760
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: spaces and darn it, and like every single page and

761
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: I'm looking through trying to find some kind of receipt

762
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: to you know, I'm like, really blow him up or

763
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, you know, put him on

764
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: blast on Twitter, because this is of course, like this

765
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: is what you do when you're friends with me. I

766
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: couldn't find anything. I actually couldn't find anything in the

767
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: book that he got like blatantly wrong. It was just

768
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: not a thing at all, and it actually struck me

769
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: as even more. I think I texted him about it

770
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: at the time. I was like, I was like, darn you, Scott,

771
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: somehow you've somehow you've outwitted me yet again. Even before yeah,

772
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: we we we started this this crazy dance. It's it

773
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: was tremendous. I got to find that uh uh somewhere

774
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: because it was it was really tremendous. There's even there's

775
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: even a comic I've got to find this up where

776
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: he predicts the rise of Trump, all the way back

777
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: in the nineteen nineties. He predicts it, and it's it's

778
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: like dog Bird explained. I think it's Dogbord explaining it

779
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: to Soviet Dogbert. You remember what I'm talking about.

780
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 3: It it's familiar, but I couldn't tell you that. The

781
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 3: caption of the comic of the text.

782
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's something like that's something that goes, he goes,

783
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: he goes, and so you're and so your leader, you're

784
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: so your leader is this Donald Trump? And Dogbert goes.

785
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: I don't think it's official yet.

786
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: You know another thing prediction, Yes, yes, another sociopolitical prediction

787
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 3: from that book that Scott got right and back in

788
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 3: ninety seven. Nowadays we have the term called NPC right

789
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 3: for non player characters, people who are easily programmed by

790
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 3: the media, particularly Internet based media. In the Dilbert Future,

791
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 3: Scott Adams term made this term called in the visual individual,

792
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 3: but d u H is right there in the middle middle. Yes,

793
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 3: individuals are people who because they're so Sophie ctcaid and

794
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 3: tech savvy they get their news from the Internet, and

795
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 3: it's because they're now on the Internet, they're accessible to

796
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 3: even more misinformation, disinformation, malinformation. So as educated as they

797
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 3: now feel, because they can use this exciting new tech,

798
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 3: the information super Highway, the World Wide Web, to become informed,

799
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,919
Speaker 3: they are in fact learning less factual information than ever.

800
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 3: Those are the individuals that we could expect to see

801
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 3: more of in the past. The millennium was what Scott

802
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 3: termed it. I did a whiteboard video on this last night.

803
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 4: Jack.

804
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 3: People were now saying that in the same tradition of

805
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 3: God's debris, kind of like those of us who were

806
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 3: his sort of Internet kids, let's say we are now

807
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 3: Scott's debris. And one of those special little shards that

808
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 3: meant a lot to me was the teaching technique of whiteboards.

809
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 3: So I bought myself a whiteboard and I did a

810
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 3: video about individuals in that book last night, So a

811
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: low production quality, but in the that never bothered Scott.

812
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 3: You know, he just kept plowing ahead. So I will

813
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 3: continue to do so and carry on that little piece

814
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 3: of a legacy.

815
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: You guys, can we see the whiteboard? Where's the whiteboard?

816
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 4: Oh, it's not here.

817
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 3: It's it's at the house.

818
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: Is at the house.

819
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: That's why I did it.

820
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 1: The guys, the guy's teasing us with the whiteboard. Well, well,

821
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean that's I. I appreciate you doing that, Joshua.

822
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: And as someone who worked with Scott, someone who knew

823
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: him so well, as someone who was right there with him,

824
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: you and I would not have met, you know, unhumans

825
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: and Bulletproof and New York Times lists and all the

826
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: rest like that, just directly because of Scott's influence and

827
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: so many of the things that Scott was influential in

828
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: and so many of the people he talked to, which

829
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: and you mentioned this in the op ed today, the

830
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: the memorial I think that you wrote for Scott. It's

831
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 1: going to be private and it will always remain private.

832
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: And there are things and conversations and h situations that

833
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: Scott Adams had an influence in that just because of sensitivity,

834
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: will never be made public. But people know who he knew,

835
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: and people saw his rolodex, and people saw how fast

836
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: certain individuals, for example, your favorite president tweeted out about

837
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: Scott Adams the great influencer. Joshua, Where can people go

838
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,359
