A
Good morning. Look at them. Look at how beautiful they look today.
B
Good morning to locals.
C
Oh, good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Scott Adams School.
A
Good morning. Except China.
C
Good morning to the person on YouTube that hates the way we kill time in the morning and the way we banter right now. Good morning to even you. So here we are, killing some time. So if you guys read the show notes. There we go. If you read the show notes. I'm a little under the weather. We're gonna plow through. Marcella's not feeling her best, but Owen is like a beacon of health right now.
B
I'm doing great.
C
So if we drop off one by one, I'll be gone, then Marcella will be gone, and there will be Owen. No, but this is in the Scott
B
Adams school tradition, though. You remember so many times when Scott wasn't up to it, but he was just doing it anyway, and so seeing if you can make it through the show.
C
That's right. We'll see how long we go. It could be a shorter show. We don't know. Anything could happen. All right, you guys. Welcome in. Welcome in. It is July 17, 2026. You have found yourself at the Scott Adams School, where we are nothing like Scott Adams. We are Erica, Marcella, and Owen, and we're just here to entertain, have a good time, and commune. But we can't do anything, any of it, without having a simultaneous sip. So let's get her done.
D
I understand that some people fast forward past this part. Do you know what you're missing? You're missing a cleverly engineered moment that is designed specifically to boost your oxytocin, your serotonin, your. You name it, dopamine, all that stuff. And all you need. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, chalice restaurant, and a canteen jug of flask, a vessel of any kind.
E
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
D
I like coffee. And join me now for the dopamine. The other day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens. Now go. Ah, yes. I can feel things coming around
C
oddly. So can I.
F
No.
C
Just kidding.
B
Erica's cured.
C
Oh, my gosh, you guys. Good morning. So, so much news. I mean. Oh, and you're gonna have your hands full at the after party tomorrow where you guys can join Owen on X. He's at owengeorian, and he's on for a few hours. I'm sure you guys can get really in depth over there about things. Your. Your comments in the chat are so funny. So Listen, I have some clips pulled, and the first one I wanted to show is just because I'm so confused, you guys. So, as you know, Graham Platner had to step aside because he was a mess up there in. Is that Maine? Is he in Maine? Yeah.
B
He didn't have you.
C
Yeah. Or like Owen said. So listen, what is going on in Maine? We have a lot of Mainers in the chat, so here's. I. I did not take the time to learn this person's name, but what is wrong with our thing up here? Okay. Anyway, I'm ignoring all things today. Let's go. So here is a debate for people that want to replace Graham Platner. Here's just one little look on the inside.
G
Ashley Webb, what qualifications do you have to serve in the US Senate?
H
Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but they didn't run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then I write my own books. And then suppose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to the people, and I wouldn't deceive the people. Like, we're being deceived right now.
C
Like, no, there's nothing deceptive happening there at all. Anyone see this? Does anyone know what the heck is going on in Maine? Holy cow.
B
I like how he went with the church dress.
C
Look, I want to hear the songs. Songwriter Marcella, have you seen that?
A
I don't know if I want to hear his songs, but looks like Susan Collins is gonna win. I mean, thank God. I don't know, you know, I mean, beyond Ashley being not Ashley, but, you know, I want to know their politics. I'm sure they're not. Their politics aren't good. So, you know, I gotta. I gotta be. Be fair and say, hey, I want to know what. What are your politics? You know, what.
C
What do you want to do for me?
A
Yeah.
B
Am I just imagining it, or is. Is the Democrat Party just going completely off the race rails?
C
They're bad.
B
Like, it just seems like, you know, you had the old guard, you know, deep state people like Schumer and Nadler and Schiff and all that. But, like, now it's like this different, like, freak show. It's just, like emerging to take over the Democrat Party.
C
Yeah, it is very strange. Oh, I don't have the clip of that other gem. She's pulling the Jasmine Crockett. Where is she? She's in Minnesota. And she's like another one of those people who. She's talking. She's white, allegedly. She's talking all ghetto. Like, when she's on the House floor, this white woman, she's like you. Yeah. Then she gets on the debate stage and suddenly she said, does Anyone know who Mrs. Poole is? P O O l. Not Tim's mom. Anyway. She sounds like this little like, well, I'll be shucking some oysters over here. And I' get all down in the nitty gritty and I'm like, what the hell in theater school is happening? So these are like the theater school flunkies, obviously Democrats. I mean, you really have a problem with what Trump said last night because you have to cheat to get these people through. I do not see any other way.
B
Unless we heard the new term economic democracy.
C
Oh, no. What's the definition?
B
It's basically socialism. It's like, it's like, you know, let's put out and let's nationalize all the big companies and redistribute their wealth. Like, but they call it economic democracy now. That's the new name for it.
C
I mean, obviously the three of us hardly have anything to say because it's like, what's happening? I just had to get that out of the way.
I
I don't know.
B
So blatant. Like that one place I got that from, I mean, I've heard that term now several times in different places, but like, one place, it was like part of the whole DSA platform and it was like, we're going to abolish not only ice, but the Senate, the Supreme Court, the presidency. Like, we're just going to throw it all out. Like, it's like they're just basically saying, screw this whole thing. And yet they're running for office in that system. Like, none of it makes any sense.
C
I know, I, I know I, I, I am often, never, I'm sorry, I am not often without words. I, I'm without them today with this. All right, so we're going to be moving along, but I will definitely have more clips of some of the oddities I've seen next week. And we're going to just move along to. Oh, one other thing I wanted to show you real quick because this was kind of interesting. Talking about the crazy left. Let's listen to what Scott Besant said yesterday. A little tidbit for you and for those that thought he was lying.
I
And before I proceed, I'm going to go off script for a minute, which is always dangerous, but I'm going to remind everyone in this room and all the media that I was the subject of an assassination attempt February 2024 by an adult left wing activist two hours after being sworn into my job. So any of you who want to report that this is a fiction and does not exist, be there for the sentencing this August.
C
So that was. I did not know that, but that is pretty amazing. Did you guys know about that prior?
B
No.
C
Yeah. So scary. Two hours after being sworn in. Yeah, you can. B.J. you can see he was shaken, you know, talking about it. And I don't know. So I'm curious to see what that was. But we're definitely, we're definitely in a bad place with the left right now. And again I say if you guys, you told me, Sandy, if you guys, you know, that are still identifying as Democrats, you gotta really rethink what you're doing. Yeah. A lot of people in the chat are saying they had no idea that that's the first they heard of it. But scary time. So, you know, we, we wish safety for everybody, everybody in the country. We want everyone to be safe, but especially, especially for the elected officials. This is why we have so many losers running, because people who value their lives and their privacy and their families, they're not going to step up to do this job. So we're going to end up with no, no shade Ashley, but, you know, we're ending up with Ashley in Maine. So it's really scary. And nobody's taking down the temperature. And that is just again, proven. You know, last night, if you guys didn' listen to President Trump, he, he came out and made an address about the. What, what they found about election integrity, about voter fraud. Let me just see. I, I kind of like summarized it for you. It's okay, so it's about the election system. I have clips that we're going to play, but, you know, it's about wanting to, to pass the Save America act where we have voter integrity and idea of actual citizenship. They found. Oh, my gosh. I'm just going to play it. There was a crazy number. Was it 220 million U.S. voter files. Oh, stolen by the Chinese. Amazing. Who knew? We thought it was just Russia, Russia, Russia. So, you know, it's scary times and we don't have the best of the best people stepping up to help this country because their lives are in jeopardy, they're threatened. You know, we have Supreme Court justices now. Afraid, which is another story for next week. So let's just go through a couple of the clips. But the first clip I want to play is let's just set up President Trump for who the man is the icon himself. No, no one's perfect, guys. But let's just play this clip that I do love that he shared on Truth Social.
B
Was going to conquer Manhattan.
E
He takes chances that would make a less daring man shudder to think about
B
the arc of where he's been. It's like some sort of mythical story or something.
J
This. This sounds like political presidential talk to me.
H
Donald Trump seems to always get stronger when challenged. My God, that guy's got resilience.
B
Those who deal with you, underestimate you
E
and look to regret it.
K
It's always good to be underestimated. It is not about politics. It's about our love for this great country, America, and we're not going to let it sail. I will fight like no one has ever fought before.
H
Trump is the bodyguard of Western civilization.
B
You want to talk about a fighter, a walk through fire. He's an absolute savage.
H
He knows that this is much bigger than him. This is about the American people.
B
They have no idea what they have unleashed.
H
He was ready to go face the cameras and come out swinging.
K
What will future Americans say we did in our brief time here on Earth? It will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit. Nothing will sway us, nothing will slow us, and no one will ever stop. We are Americans. Ambition is our heritage. Greatness is our birthright, and the future belongs to us.
C
I love that because he's been the same guy all along and his whole public life, as far as I know. And I know some will say, well, he's changed lately. But, you know, this is. This is the man here. I'm going to play the first clip and then Owen, I'll come to you first to react, and then Marcella. So this is from last night's address.
K
They show that over a period of years, Starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million US voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening. This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China has signed a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project. Compounding the travesty, the second set of documents we are releasing reveals that members of the deep state, very, very famous group of people, many cases in our intelligence agency work to actively suppress and downplay information about the extent of China's sinister election meddling, covering it up from both the president and the American people, like nobody thought was possible.
C
That was crazy. Oh, and I'll just let you react to that.
B
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, maybe that Scott's talk about the third act for Trump might be happening here. I mean, he was talking about saying the third act would be that Trump would have proof that the election was stolen. You know, I know we have, we have hundreds of people I think, right now in Georgia examining all the records of what's going on there. And I, you know, I don't, I don't, I haven't had time to even look at any of the documents here, but apparently there's a big document dump of all these things related to election integrity that are being declassified. I think earlier in the talk, maybe it's in one of the other clips, he was talking about how some of this was in those burn bags that were supposedly supposed to be destroyed, but weren't. And so some of this evidence is coming from there. And so it seems like a lot of stuff's coming out.
A
And
B
I'm sure some people would look at, well, who cares if they have our data? It's just like your name and address, but if you have all that voter information, you really can potentially do a lot with it. I mean, I think I saw a story and I don't know if this is true at all, but, like, one scenario at least would be they have this whole foreign voting thing, like the UOCAVA or whatever it's called, and, and where you can just send in a ballot from wherever you are. You don't even have to be in the country and there's like no checking of it. Like, it, they don't even really verify your signature. So, like, all you really need is the information that matches the voter record and then you can just submit a ballot and it'll get counted. And, you know, I don't know if that happened. I don't know, you know, how much it happened, if it did happen. But, like, it is a big deal for foreign countries, especially ones that are adversaries, to have that information, because there is a lot they can do with it. And I think, you know, unfortunately, we don't have enough election integrity to prevent something like this not being a big threat. And, you know, there's obviously a lot of other potential attack vectors where you could say, well, they could target certain areas to, you know, ballot harvest or
A
to,
B
you know, submit mail in ballots, all these other things that have very little checks around them. But, you know that it is a Big deal. And I think we do need much better election integrity. And I, I certainly think at least the people on our side are at the point where we're like, how can we even trust that these things are real? And unfortunately, I think I saw. I think it was a psychological study, but it was basically saying that, I think when you don't trust elections, Democrats still vote anyway and Republicans don't. So that's the other effect of this, is that, you know, it actually hurts the right or the conservatives or whatever you want to use for the term. If we don't have the selection integrity that if you, if you don't trust the elections, it ends up making people on the right just tune out and not participate. Whereas for whatever reason, I'm not really sure why, but come back to the cheating.
C
The.
B
The statistics show that Democrats still vote even if they don't trust the elections.
C
Yeah. Because, like, you know, Marcelo will often point out, they always stick together and they're like, okay, this is the thing we're doing. We don't care if it's crooked or not, we're doing it. You know, Marcel, react to that clip. And it's so disturbing because I think I have another clip saying this. But, you know, our. In our deep state, our intelligence agencies, we're working with China and keeping it from our president. So what do you think is happening here?
A
I'm angry. I mean, you know, I'm angry for so many different reasons about all of this. All of us have been here, you know, with. With Scott predicting that this is true. But we've always been called conspiracy theorists. There's. There's different lawyers that were representing, like John Eastman, someone I know lost his bar license to having. Being just presenting a case for his client, which was Trump in court. Different people. January 6th happened. All these things were led by all of this. They need to be punished. Because it's not just China, like you just said, it's. The people within the government had allowed this, because one of the things that came out in his speech is that they. For his intelligence briefings, they massaged the intelligence briefings to not have this information given to President Trump. And he alluded to other presidents.
H
So.
A
So I don't know if when Joe Biden was being brief on all this, whether he was able to see any of this. It seems like none of them. What else besides this is being massaged out of these intelligence briefings? Because if this might just be like, oh, I'm not going to be NPC and say that it's the iceberg. It's the tip of the iceberg. But here I am saying it. There might be more, you know, and then one thing that, that Cerno said on X, Cernovich. Mike Cernovich said on X, which I agree with, and I think all of us agree with, is with the birthright citizenship case. And for, for. For there being children being born here by parents that aren't really citizens that just arrive here. And having them here, you don't really need to exploit the border rules in the future, because all you need is lots of citizens from any other country, China, Russia, India, anywhere, having kids here and then having them eventually vote here, or you can even vote abroad.
C
So remember when the left took Trump's sarcastic, joking comment out of context when he said, you know, just find me, you know, 1200 votes, like, or. Or he said, hey, Russia. I forget what it was, you know, like, just, you know, do whatever, like he was kidding. But I find this clip very telling right now because we are talking about the media and we're talking about the deep state. And here's a little tidbit with Hillary.
J
You know, the only other adversary of ours who's anywhere near as good as the Russians is China. So why should Russia have all the fun? And since Russia is clearly backing Republicans, why don't we ask China to back us?
C
I hereby tonight ask China.
J
That's right. And not only that, China, if you're listening, why don't you get Trump's tax returns? I'm sure our media would richly reward you.
C
Hmm. I always felt like when they were saying things like that, that it was legit. It was like an actual dog whistle to the people that are listening. Go ahead, Marcella.
A
It's funny. I mean, the whole thing is funny, but it's not funny. You know, it's sad, but at the same time, she's wearing, like, a mal type of suit that she always wears, those pants, those pantsuits. But my thinking about what she just said, get Trump's tax returns and all that, I was thinking beyond this of Entropic. Entropic is an AI company. And they came out and told the government, hey, we can't release a version of our AI because it can. It's. It's able to know all passwords, is able to get into any kind of secure, any secure data. It can attempt to figure out the password and all that. Well, my thinking is that if Entropic has this very advanced AI, I'm sure China has this advanced AI or could have it in the future. So our data beyond it being stolen and proved that it was stolen is all. There's so many issues right now that we're facing with China.
B
By the way, I think that's day is already here. There was just a new model released, Kimi 3, which is a Chinese model, and it is said to be, you know, on par or even better than the like Opus 4.8, which basically means it's in the realm of the Fable 5 or mythos from Anthropic. And though it is the same, I mean, I, I personally think it was this huge strategic blunder for Anthropic to do that whole thing about how they made a big deal about it being so dangerous, because I don't think it really was that different than every other model that came before it. I mean, I can understand. They might understand, you know, they might, they might. There is a legitimate concern that a lot of these AIs can do hacking or can discover flaws a lot more quickly. But I remember when that first happened and then people started testing out some of the things that it found, like some of the vulnerabilities that they talked about. They're like, oh, we found this Linux thing that's been out there for decades and no one ever found it, but the model found it. And it's like someone tried it with the other models and they're like, well, it found it too.
C
Yeah, well, I mean, nobody ever looked,
B
you know, new world.
C
It's a new world with that. But I want to just stick on the topic of what Hillary is saying there and that fact that she's saying it to Rachel Maddow makes like $100 million a year, works one hour a week. You know, they're. They're all in on it. I mean, obviously. And they all had the same talking points. And President Trump laid out that, you know, these people were getting tremendous kickbacks to do the work for the Chinese. Oh, and by the way, President Xi is coming in September and that. Still on schedule as far as I know. But I just. Let me, Let me just do I only have two clips from last night. Let me just play this one. And then Owen, again you react. And then we're going to go to
K
Marcela doing the quote is now under review. But it gets even worse. Raw intelligence obtained by the FBI in 2020, yet buried by rogue bureaucrats, stated that China's activities even included an attempt to manufacture illegal ballots for Joe Biden. Documents show that during this period, dozens of significant CIA and NSA reports about China's election targeting were kept out of the presidential briefing. These were briefings I would get almost every day. Everything was kept out that was of importance. One email among intelligence analysts admitted that they had, quote, deliberately massaged the presidential daily briefing to withhold information regarding Chinese activities related to the election. Another official inside the FBI wrote that she was running, quote, a shadow government, unquote, to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known and to keep it away from the honorable press. Other officials who witnessed such efforts perceive the motivations to be blatantly political. Recently, we found significant numbers of burn bags in formation. And this is a group of bags that were used to destroy information given by President Barack Hussein Obama to be burned. It was supposed to be burned. These bags were supposed to be at a different level by different people, incinerated and checked, but it never happened. Maybe we got lucky. We believe this was not done on purpose, but rather through gross incompetence of the people that were supposed to burn the bag.
C
So another group of burn bags that didn't get burned. Just like how Tulsi found all those burn bags. All right, and also the MK Ultra burn bags. Amazing, right? How hard is it to burn something people? You can't even do that. Okay, so go ahead, Owen.
B
I mean, I think this is like treason or sedition or something. I don't understand why people aren't already being tried and convicted for these things. It's like you. You know, I know it may be different for civilian versus the military, but I don't. I'm pretty sure there are laws that cover all this stuff that says you can't just, you know, have a shadow government and counteract what the President orders you to do it. Like, you have to follow those orders and you have to at least cooperate with what is being asked. And when you're intentionally concealing this information, taking it out of the daily presidential briefings and, you know, having your own deep state shadow government, it's like, why are these people walking, still walking around free? Like, what. What's going on here? These people should be behind bars, at a minimum, if not, you know, facing a death penalty. Because I think some of these are capital crimes. And it just baffles me that more action hasn't been taken. And I'm hoping there will be some because there needs to be severe consequences for this. And, you know, I say that partly because I, you know, I feel like, so outraged that, you know, Trump's first term especially, it was like he was, you know, dealing with a hostile Workforce. Yeah, but, you know, I think that's true. Regardless of who's president. Even if it was a Democrat, I would say, you know, the. The. The administration under him shouldn't be, like, working against him and having all. And we know this was happening. I mean, people admitted it. Somebody even wrote a book about it, like, how he was, you know, subverting the presidency.
I
And.
B
Jesus. What. You know, just quit. Just quit. If you're not going to do that, like, don't.
G
Don't.
B
I mean, don't commit crimes just to, like, supposedly think you're going to save the country by breaking the law and obstructing the whole operation of the government.
C
Yeah. So, Marcela, I mean. Oh, so last night I. I reposted a clip of Gavin Newsome. Did you guys see him out there with his baseball hat and his T shirt on? And he's just like, whatever he's saying is just a lie. We know he's a liar. He's just worried about the. The midterm. So he's trying to create, you know, chaos and this and that. And, Marcela, before I get to you, like, this is. This is the general opinion of the media, and I'm gonna play this, and then, Marcella, you can just take it from there on that clip and this one.
F
A quick reminder to our viewers. We'll be watching tonight's presidential address and listening to what the president says tonight, but we're not going to take it live, as we've been discussing. That's because this president sadly has a history of misleading and in some cases, simply false statements on what we've been talking about tonight, election security and integrity. Also, the White House earlier today said he would be showing newly classified documents. So we want to make sure that we have time to review those documents, talk to experts about them, contextualize whatever he says or shows before airing it. But if there is news, we will bring it to you asap.
C
So in other words, you're all sheep and morons who can't think for yourself and will decide if you should know about it or not. I mean, could you just scream, Marcella?
A
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised that he starts speaking Mandarin. I mean, the fact that they did that and. And can't show it. Like, why don't you just show the president, he's the President of the United States. He was elected by the majority of the people as. As allegedly the press that you are, the journalists that you guys are. Why wouldn't you show it? You can always have somebody Negate what he's saying afterwards. But the fact that they don't want to show it. The fact that say it was President Biden coming out and telling us, hey I found out there's, there's all these people that have stolen, you know, Russia or China, whatever country it is. Even if I'm not a Democrat, I would be incensed by it. I would want to discover what it is. You know, when 9, 11 happened the Democrats weren't like oh you know Bush, you know, he's just full of it. They, they, they went, they put America first and said, you know, we got to fight Afghanistan, Iraq, whatever you think now if it was the right reason or not. But like that shows me that they're part of it. That if they're not incensed if cnn, all these other, if, if you're, you're complicit, you're, you are part of this entire thing. And I'll tell you why. The reason they want this is to destroy America. They want, China wants to make America not great again. You know, China wants to destroy us. China has been playing the long game for the longest time since I believe since next Nixon, you know, since Nixon opened up that door to China. And China has always been playing the long game.
C
Yeah, that's that they always have like a hundred year plan. Same with most of the brutal like Islam hunt, you know, a lifetime plan.
A
What don't be confused that any of this, it all seems chaotic and crazy to, you know, but this is all very organized like it is all organized like by different by China, by the communist cabal as you would want to call it. DSA Mandami Covid. I mean it is all connected. And who is fentanyl? There's different ways of how they're killing us. They're either killing us economically or killing us by killing actually people with fentanyl. It's all connected. I have been part of it because when I lived in El Salvador there was the contras that the, the guerrillas were armed allegedly by America, but then later by the, by Cuba which in turn was connected to China and Russia. Well the Soviet Union was connected to it. So it's been a long term game that they've been playing with South America and with North America, with Mexico, you know, Mexico doesn't, who does Mexico have right now? A socialist. You know who does Spain have A socialist. So this is a long game. Not, not just America, but the rest of the world is also being played. You want to call it color revolutions or whatever you want to Call it is all together. Gather all of this info and think about it out there. I don't want you to take what I say as the truth. I want you to question everything because it's all related.
C
I always have said that, too. Like about the fentanyl, you know. Yeah. China manufactured it and would get it run right through Mexico and right into America. And the numbers are probably. Actually, I don't know what the numbers are current day, but they might be higher. But we were averaging 70,000 fentanyl deaths in America every year. And I was saying, I don't know how many people are in like a. A football stadium, like an average football stadium. Let. Let's say it's. What. What do you think, Owen? Who knows, like, about that? I'm going to say. Let's just say. How many?
A
5,000.
C
I, you know, it's like tens of thousands. But let's just imagine, like, let's just imagine there's a football stadium with like 30,000 people in it and 60,000. Thank you. I thought it was up there. All right, so let's just say Football Stadium. 50, 60 to 70,000. Okay. And a bomb dropped in that stadium, God forbid, and all those people died in one shot. You would be like, holy, we're at complete war with China. They just dropped a bomb in a stadium. But you have to remember, like, the fentanyl deaths put all those people in that stadium. That's what it was. So it's like every year dropping a bomb in a huge stadium and killing all those people. You. You're at war with that country.
B
So I think some years it's been over a hundred thousand and a lot of them are kids.
C
Yes. Right. So, you know, Marcel is right. You know, this. This has been like, you know, and we're not, you know, we're not trying to be like Debbie Downers today, but it's. This is what we're talking about. And so hearing all this about China, knowing that our. Some of our media is completely aligned with this and a ton of elected politicians are in line with this, and then that beautiful deep state who has no one checking after them, they. They just, all of them just look right into those cameras every day and lie so hard. They don't give a shit about you, about me, about this country. They're in a cabal of their own. They're disgusting. We're also worried that none of them are going to see any kind of consequences. There better be consequences. There better be. Owen, go ahead, take it from here on that.
B
Do you Think China's safe for business? No, I think, yeah, it is a threat we need to take seriously. And I think I agree with you. It's kind of like we're at war and, and it may not be a physical shooting war where we're like, you know, doing what we're doing in Iran right now, but it's really no different. It's just a different type of war. And you know, I know there's even a book that China Road called something like Total War that talks about this, how it's like economic, it's psychological, it's information warfare, it's all kinds of warfare. But I think when it comes to Fenol, it still is. Like you're actually having casualties. You're actually having people die because of this. And I think, you know, it, it's on a number of fronts. I, I know there's a lot of stories I've seen where people are saying that China is behind a lot of the anti data center or anti AI stuff. And I would even say, like, that model I talked about, Kimi3 is really kind of an attack on, on our AI industry. I mean, it, it's, I think it's pretty obvious and there's evidence that it was basically distilled down from the Claude or anthropic models. Like, it'll, I saw some examples where people said, like, they called the thing Kimmy and it said, no, actually I'm Claude. Like, you could tell that it was trained on our stuff. And you know, those are just some random examples. Like it's everywhere you look really. And you know, I think we, we should be decoupling from China. We should be just totally getting out of that, taking our manufacturing back. And I know Trump's working on that, but it's a long process, but we are making progress. And you know, I think there was another story I posted just recently about how TSMC is investing another, I think $100 billion to get more chip manufacturing here.
C
Who's doing that? Owen, your mic's a little low.
F
Sorry.
B
It's tsmc, the big chip company in Taiwan. And they, they, I think they tried to get a fab built here in Arizona, I believe, and they had some trouble with it, mainly because they couldn't find enough qualified people. But I suppose it depends on your perspective. I think it might have been that they have expectations of people working harder or longer or differently than Americans are used to. But, you know, they, they said we can't really find enough qualified people. But I think they are continuing to invest and continuing to try and get more, I guess, supply chain security. And I'm sure it is supported or, you know, encouraged by Trump and the government. But again, it's kind of like you can just go on and on and on with every area where it's like they are at war with us, they are trying to subvert us. You know, we could go back to birthright citizenship with the whole birth tourism thing and how they're having hundreds or thousands of babies, that they're in theory going to be US citizens and be able to vote in 18 years or less depending on how old they are now. And they're flooding our universities and they're stealing our intellectual property. I mean, it's just, it just goes on and on. It's, it's everywhere.
C
I see your comment. Steamer Mongo, you said, I tried in the past to be open minded about Democrats, but no longer. The party is determined to weaken and ultimately destroy our great country. That. That's right. And you know what? That's right. So we have to, we, okay, the overlooked minions are gonna have to fight harder because we have more to lose. So again, I know it does. You might not make the correlation right now, but we need less influencers and more tradespeople. We need people to speak up and not be afraid to say what they are seeing and not have the suicidal empathy to fight for America. Because when you're, you know, number one, everybody wants to knock you down and to take over America is winning the biggest prize and a lot of people are gunning for our country that want it and they've made huge inroads. And having, you know, having Trump's first, first of all, I'll just, I'll just say it, you know, what all the signs say. I'll just say it. Obama was the accelerated beginning of the end of potentially the end of this country. And then having Trump's first term hamstringed and massaged, we'll say massaged. Then having a, again, my opinion stolen election in 2020. Just further, like let this plan run off the rails. So here's Trump now. He's got a couple of years left trying to do the most he can and he's fighting the deep state and he's fighting the media, some of which absolutely should have their licenses revoked. I would love to see that happen. So I can't finish this segment without showing two more clips because we must know what President Biden was saying during this time. So here's, here's old sleepy Joe back in the day when he was super
G
coherent during the campaign for my, for the presidency, I was unequivocal that if I was elected president, I'd respond to any attempt to influence our elections, the last election. And because elections are sacred, sacred, their sovereign undertakings and their expression of the will of the American people. And we cannot allow foreign power to interfere in our democratic process with impunity. And I told them if it turned out that the invest as I thought that there was engagement in our elections, that I would, I'd respond. Today I have approved several steps, including expulsion of several Russian officials as a consequence of, of their actions. I've also signed an executive order authorizing new measures, including sanctions, to address specific harmful actions that Russia has taken against US Interests. I was clear with President Putin that we could have gone further, but I chose not to do so. To be, I chose to be proportionate.
C
Can you imagine Vladimir Putin, like, knowing what he knows, what he did do and didn't do, and watching our news institutions and politicians and CIA, fia, FBI shills doing, you know, the work for China, like, he must have just been like, you guys are complete morons. I just stopped myself. So I wanted to show that and one last clip because, you know, Russia, Russia, Russia, you know, knowing what we know for certain now, it just pisses you off extra. I don't know whether the current president,
G
United States with, with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013.
H
It's possible.
C
Is it, is it Comey, Marcella, you, you can react to those last two clips and then we're off this subject.
A
So, I mean, they're, they're criminals. The, the, the, the President Biden, you, what we know now today and what he's telling us, I mean, it's, it's criminal. Like the fact that none of these people have been prosecuted tells you how, how much power they have over the judiciary and over the prosecutors, the U. S. Attorney's office. I mean, it's become so obvious to us what is happening. But the fact is nothing is actually, no one is actually doing anything about it. I'm glad President Trump came out last night and is going to, you know, you know, the reason they always try to assassinate him and try to, you know, do the 2020 election and not let him win is because he's the only one of the few people that wants to fight this and wants to destroy this destruction of America. And I see the whole, the whole is just comey and, and Trump and Biden and all this. Russia, Russia, you know, we have many enemies I do have to say, we. We have China, we have Rush, but all of this was crafted by them. Well, they're working with them. It was. It was just a hoax by them working with China. So it's. It's hilarious. I mean, President Trump deserves so much more. We still don't know what else they're keeping from him.
C
Owen. Just on Biden and Comey and Clapper and Brennan and Obama and Hillary and Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice and. Oh, my. Criminal, criminal, criminal, criminal, criminal. Yep. I could just keep going.
B
They clearly only care about power. They only care about what benefits them, and they don't really want to stop the cheating. I mean, even the stuff Biden said, oh, I did all these things that didn't do anything, like, oh, we got rid of some diplomats and we put in some sanctions that didn't stop a damn thing. He's like, I could have gone further, but I told Putin I wasn't going. It's like, so you're basically telling Putin, keep going, yeah, do what you want to do. And I don't believe for a moment that Russia is really, like, pro Trump. I don't think they really think that he's who they want to deal with. I mean, look what happened with Ukraine. Oh, yeah, they didn't invade Crimea when Trump was president, but, you know, they did when Obama was. And they didn't invade Ukraine when Trump was president, but they did when Biden was in. I mean, it's like they. They know that they can just get away with this stuff when they have a weak president, and they know that Trump isn't a weak president and will, you know, take action when he needs to. And, you know, you can argue whatever you want about how Trump is dealing with Ukraine, but he was trying to broker peace. He was trying to put an end to the conflict. And I do believe him that it probably wouldn't have happened if he had been elected it in 2020. And it's, you know, it's something where even now, I would say, you know, Ukraine seems to be getting the upper hand in a lot of this, and I think Trump is probably behind some of that, whether it's directly or indirectly. It might be that he's also been genius enough to get Europe and other places to pay for it, because that seems to be a lot of how he was steering things with foreign policy, with Rubio and all the rest. So, you know, it. I could. I can just. It's obvious to me that our adversaries and, you know, I don't know that Russia needs to be an adversary long term. But, you know, they are now. And, yeah, you know, our adversaries would much prefer for us to have a weak president and someone who won't be able to take action or won't take action. And so I, I find it very hard to have any credibility to sing, oh, you know, Putin wants Trump or Putin wants Republicans, because that's just obviously not true.
C
Yeah, for sure. No, Biden was a good time for everybody except America. And yes, bj, I saw your. Yes. No, Russia is not like our buddy. And they do work with China, believe me. Like, you know, we. We know it's not like they're off the hook, but, you know, Russia gate. Russia, Russia, Russia, hookers. Is that. Shut up. My God. Like, I mean, we all knew it was a lie, but it's, you know, I'm dealing with this, with somebody in the real world right now who is just telling lies about another person. So blatant, like, without, like, any morals, like, without any, like, care that they're, like, literally just making up lies about somebody. It is the most disgusting, evil thing I'm witnessing because I know the person it's about. I know the person who's doing it. And it's like, man, there is something so seriously wrong with a person like that that it's like, it's so evil and there's so much evil you guys out there right now and working against us. So do not feel powerless in this moment, okay? We all have voices and mouths, so we do have, like, you know, Trump said you have to call your. Your state people, your congress people. We have to pass the Save America Act. We have to. We have to use our voices to inform people. We have to, like, have extra pride in our country. You know what? Let's do something Scott told us to do a while ago. God, this was years ago, and I forget. I think it might have been around the election, but he said, everybody post an American flag on your social media today. No commentary with it. Just post an American flag. Let's all do it today, okay? Let's do it in memory of Scott and for our country, just find a picture of an American flag. It can be a bunch. A bunch of American flags, but let's just flood American flags today because we are the ones that are going to battle to fight against all of this. Okay? Thank you guys for saying yes. That's. That's awesome. So we're going to do that. And look, here we have our Scott with President Trump. Just a reminder. And you Know what did President Trump called Scott? He called him the great influencer. And let's take what Scott taught us today in one thing with the flag. And also that we're not powerless. Okay, so we're going to wrap up now and I will play an Akira song, you guys. And then, you know, let's, let's tag, let's tag Scott's account today also when we post the flag. So tag his account and oh, and here's an Akira song call for freedom that we're gonna play. So you guys, let's. Let's have a closing sip for all of us together. Let's fight on together. Okay, nothing's over. We can do this. And let's have a closing sip to Scott and Shelley for allowing this show to continue for all of you guys, for us right here who have the right objective in mind and let's just like really band together. Okay? Owen will be on tomorrow on the after party. You'll get so much more news time with him and everyone can chat it out. He's got the patience of a saint, unlike me. And that's at the same time as the sky. Scott Adams School. And you'll have your simultaneous sip. But thank you, Marcella and Owen for being here today. And you guys, let's have a closing sip to Scott and I'm gonna play for Freedom by Akira. Okay? To Scott.
B
To Scott.
E
Here are the other buttons, which are mostly self explanatory, but freedom is a big thing. People will trade a lot for freedom. You can say, would you like a bad life with freedom or a good life with no freedom? But people think it's a bad life with freedom. So if you ever have a chance to create a situation where you can offer someone more freedom, that's very powerful. That's a button. And you should get as much for yourself as you can. And you can use it as a tool to help other people get what they want because they will trade a lot for freedom. Because they will trade a lot for freedom. People will trade a lot for freedom because they will trade a lot for freedom. And freedom can come in the form of getting money that gives you freedom, having a flexible schedule that gives you freedom. Being in the right kind of social situation gives you freedom. So there's lots of ways to get. Fear is a motivator. I don't recommend using it unless you're trying to save somebody. Yeah, you could use fear to keep them from smoking cigarettes, for example. Yeah, I wouldn't use this in the evil way. Curiosity is one of the most important and overlooked buttons on the human interface. You can see that authors that are good at it will make you curious at the end of the chapter so that you'll want to keep reading. So that you'll want to keep reading. Building curiosity into things is a really, really important button. When you can stoke somebody's curiosity, you can really shape what they do, and you can shape your environment through curiosity.
G
Very, very powerful.
E
But freedom is a big thing. People will trade a lot for freedom. They will trade a lot for freedom. People will trade a lot for freedom. They will trade a lot for freedom.
C
So good. So appropriate, you guys. All right, so let's. Oops. Let's get our flags posted today for. For Scott, for the country, for us. And we'll all see each other's flags out there and then repost them again later. Okay? So you guys make sure you join Owen tomorrow, and the home team will be back on Monday. Thanks, Owen. And Marcella.
A
Oh, and what's the World Cup Final on Sunday?

A
Yes, it's in MetLife. Yeah.

B
Junior, he'll hook you up. Come on.
C

"Trump is the bodyguard of Western civilization." – Clip in Trump montage (11:46)
"They just, all of them just look right into those cameras every day and lie so hard. They don't give a shit about you, about me, about this country." – Erica (35:35)
"You have to call your state people, your congress people. We have to pass the Save America Act. We have to use our voices to inform people." – Erica (47:37)
"Freedom is a big thing. People will trade a lot for freedom... So if you ever have a chance to create a situation where you can offer someone more freedom, that's very powerful." – Scott Adams, Akira song (51:41)
"Obama was the accelerated beginning of the end of potentially the end of this country. And then having Trump's first term hamstringed and massaged... a stolen election in 2020..." – Erica (39:27)
The team adopts a fast-paced, irreverent, and occasionally combative tone, balancing humor and alarm. Their commentary mixes skepticism with passionate patriotism, urging direct personal action and skepticism of both government and mainstream narratives. They honor Scott Adams’s influence on strategic persuasion throughout.
In a dark, charged political climate, the Home Team processes news through a persuasion filter, critiques profound institutional failures, and offers practical steps for listeners to reclaim agency and show unity. With well-curated clips, fiery roundtable reactions, and a major emphasis on freedom—both as a concept and a social tool—the episode serves as a rallying cry to not just witness but actively protect American integrity.
