Hey Jake hey ni come on in here I hope you have your big pot of steaming coffee CU it's time for it it's time for coffee with Scott Adams oh yeah and if you're coming in here early enough and you're prepared enough it's possible that you already have your cup your mug your Stein your chalis your glass your container you have filled it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me for the simultaneous
sip oh that's good stuff okay so here's the best story of the day the best story of the day today is uh CNN's reaction to president Trump denying that he is a Russian asset now here's the way I was watching

[1:13]

asset now here's the way I was watching uh Anderson Cooper report on that so the president was asked if he's a essentially a Russian asset and he said no and here's how they reported on CNN can you believe we're even in this
world can you believe the president of the United States needs to deny that he's a Russian asset that says it all everything you need to know it's right there the president had to actually deny that he's a Russian asset now what's wrong with this story the reason the president has to deny it is not the fault of the president the reason he has to deny this story is do I have my shirt on

[2:14]

backwards no the reason he has to deny the story is because they made it a story so CNN creates out of nothing this accusation and then they report that when he he denies the ridiculous accusation that the denial of a ridiculous accusation is evidence of
wrongdoing I think that's what they did didn't they didn't they frame him and then when he says no obviously that's not true he says then CNN says can you believe it only only this President would have to deny he's a Russian asset yeah it wasn't his fault was it I'm pretty sure it's because the the uh the media keeps uh hammering on it so uh I was just watching a clip of uh Brook Baldwin CNN interviewing Max

[3:16]

uh Brook Baldwin CNN interviewing Max boot who wrote a article in the Washington Post now you might know that the Washington Post does not love president Trump at the moment because he was just mocking them for uh the recent news about Jeff bezos's marriage and so max boot who is a of course a Hillary Clinton person writes an article of the 18 the 18 reasons that President Trump might be a Russian asset now if I've taught you anything it's that the the laundry list persuasion is your clear c signal of BS all right if they had one good reason that's all you would see you don't need 18 reasons if you have one good one if you have one good one that's just all they talk

[4:17]

just all they talk about but their list is this whole bunch of sort of unrelated stuff in other words it's stuff that other people did they're actually trying to pin on the president conversations that other people had and we're talking you know completely unrelated stuff so when you see the weakness of the list remember this rule that if people have one good reason they'll give it to you and and they'll Hammer that One Good Reason until you're dead but if they don't have a good reason you're going to see the laundry list of things which are sort of in the general neighborhood and if they were true but you can't tell and if something more than what is in evidence happened and possibly and this doesn't rule out and you can't say it didn't happen and it's this list of complete
that that they're they're pushing so I think they've given

[5:18]

pushing so I think they've given up it looks like CNN is given up on Muller doesn't it seem that that like that to you let me ask you this if they thought Mueller was about to come up with the goods on some kind of Russia collusion uh do you think that they would be this panicky cu cu they're they're creating the news that they're reporting on they're they're literally you know they're they're making you think that the news is not them but they're the news pretty much everything that's in the news is because the news has accused somebody of something they didn't do or made something that they did that isn't that important and seem like a bigger deal uh so anyway uh what happened with manufacturing uh Max boot was born in the Soviet Union

[6:19]

uh Max boot was born in the Soviet Union is that even true did I see nal's tweet not yet I guess I'm going to have to go look at that because every keeps asking me
that do you think Muller writing an anti-climatic report is a misdirection I don't know what you
mean all right so that was the only interesting thing I saw in the news um you know so there's confirmation hearings for bar but I don't know if that'll be
interesting um will Dems ever give up their collusion narrative no they will not so you can see that they're setting the stage now to retain the two movie solution after one of them should have gone away so it looks pretty clear that

[7:23]

gone away so it looks pretty clear that they're Panic that the whole Russia collusion narrative is going to evaporate when Mueller does his report uh and I think they're setting us up for yeah maybe Muller couldn't find it but look at all these laundry list of reasons that it must be true anyway so I think that they're going to be at odds with the Muller report which will be
hilarious I think I'll just get rid of whoever that is um
so the Clemson dinter at the White House wasn't interesting to me oh is the uh are we going to see a boxing match between uh Mike xovich and Tom
Tom Arnold is that really going to happen I think somebody put some money up I can't really see it happening but um you know i' I've met

[8:24]

happening but um you know i' I've met Mike cernovich in you know in person and I wouldn't want to box
I'll tell you if if Tom Arnold really wants to box him uh it would be I think it's going to be a short fight because Mike's pretty ripped anyway that would be very funny to
watch you've heard of Andrew Yang yet I have not um so I tweeted out three links on the question of climate change which all of course conflict with each other and are
are impossible uh pretty much impossible to sort out for non-scientists so I'm letting people wrestle with that a little bit and see if I can learn anything um I'm just leave your comments now is it

[9:34]

yes Tulsa gabard is getting destroyed by her own side so I'm still waiting to see who um who will be the preferred candidate for CNN because that's all that matters CNN will effectively decide who your Democratic um Nomine nominee is now you might think it's someone else but it's really not CU whoever CNN decides to support um and I suppose msnbc's in there but they'll probably get on the same team at some point I don't think it'll be Biden now what about uh um Julia julan Castro now here's the most interesting thing about julan Castro um first of all he can deliver Texas perhaps which would be the difference between winning and losing so he's he's got a strong you know natural base both in Texas as well as you know

[10:36]

base both in Texas as well as you know would he get most of the Hispanic vote probably so so he he's a pretty pretty strong candidate but here's what's interesting he has a he has an identical twin could you imagine being who was in a congress as well can you imagine being julan Castro's identical twin iful became president if you were the identical twin of the president of the United States and you just went to the mall and you went shopping what would happen wouldn't this is a serious question would the identical twin have to have full Secret Service protection if his brother became president I think he might right because because the real president of the United States couldn't really just walk down the street it would be too dangerous there' be you know somebody would would try

[11:39]

be you know somebody would would try something so if he's got an identical twin who literally looks like him I haven't seen them I assume they you know if their haircuts are the same Etc but the identical twin is going to have to grow a beard or something because if you walk down the street and people would say that's the president of the United States I hate his politics get him uh so that's funny and here's the better part would there be any rule against the repu the nominee uh picking his twin brother as his vice president what if julan Castro selected literally his twin brother to be his vice president you would probably say to yourself well in terms of character same guy in terms of background and demographics same guy and in terms of government experience well he's a congress person right the brother is an

[12:41]

congress person right the brother is an experienced politician for a major State Texas there's nothing that would stop him from running with his twin [Laughter]
brother which would be fun somebody says it's not legal is that true is there any law against having your brother be your I mean there was no no rule about Kennedy making his brother his uh attorney general Castro Brothers have ruled before yeah that Castro name might work against him
okay um can't be from the same state oh is that true huh I never knew that I need confirmation of that but could
be um I did not see a speech in which van

[13:44]

um I did not see a speech in which van Jones said something about Hillary is that new that doesn't sound like it's something new oh so Laura lumer I I haven't seen the video but apparently Laura lumer uh went to Nancy Pelosi's wall and what what did she do bring some illegals and try to have them climb her wall or something I didn't I didn't know what happened but I'm going to catch up on that today so that will be fun who's winning the government shutdown well um I would say that the public is largely not caring so most of the public has thrown their fellow citizen under the bus on this if you think about it you know the the public doesn't really care about the 800,000 people not getting paid they only care if their team wins so I think the public of the United States has proven that we're all a bunch of

[14:45]

proven that we're all a bunch of bastards I haven't seen I haven't seen any citizens care about 800,000 of their fellow citizens suffering from this it just doesn't even seem to be a topic all right I got nothing else to say so I'm I'm going to keep it short and I've got to talk to you later bye for now
