Topics

President Trump is in the process of ending four wars NK and their nukes, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan Kamala receives love letter from CNN and other media powers Ex-Hillary people (and The Mole) now working for Kamala Kamala lacks charisma, that’s a problem for her team Kamala campaign slogan, “For the People”…as opposed to what? Kamala branding “We’re better than this” She’s calling half the country defective Compare that to “Make America Great Again” Kamala tweet framing men as the problem Is she running a Hillary 2.0 anti-male campaign? Kamala’s campaign theme is the Gillette commercial Willie Brown as a politician and a funny guy Wall committee, who is on it? Why haven’t we heard? If the media does a blackout, nothing is going to happen Wall committee will need to add a “poison pill” to stop POTUS If they propose funds for the wall…POTUS wins Proposing something POTUS can’t accept, seems likely Predictions review… “Me Too” will cause male execs to fear mentoring women Cuban sonic weapon, wasn’t Vegas shooting wasn’t ISIS NK a year before anything happened, peace possible Howard Schultz will NOT run a third party campaign AOC has master persuader skills AOC is going to be a very big deal in the future She’s smarter than you think, possibly super-smart She’s also a racist and race baiter AOC is a “Blue Trump”

hey everybody come on in here you know what time it is it's time for coffee with Scott Adams I'm your host Scott Adams and you lucky people have made it in time you have passed the test you're ready you're able and you're in there good for you well let's take it to the next level let us enjoy the simultaneous sip grab your mug your cup your thermos your chalice your Stein fill it with your favorite liquid and join me for the simultaneous
sip oh yeah all right well we got a few interesting news items fortunately it's not all about the wall today uh I think my favorite one was uh Tom
Tom broka uh being being the sacrificial uh adult white male who uh had to be taken down today

[1:13]

male who uh had to be taken down today so poor Tom broka who I think you could say his brand is Democrat right I mean since he's retired anyway but Tom brov made the mistake of saying that he thought Hispanics should uh assimilate better or learn the language better and that was considered insensitive backwards possibly racist and he's he's spending the morning uh apologizing like crazy so that he doesn't end his storyed career with with this mark on his record and um it was fascinating to see how quickly he got thrown under the bus so uh anyway we'll we'll just watch that story meanwhile while nobody's paying attention it appears that maybe uh Trump is well on the way to solving his fourth

[2:18]

war and it's funny that this doesn't get any attention so what I'm talking about is Afghanistan now of course it's way too early to be uh optimistic but apparently the Taliban and the United States have reached some kind of agreement but it might even be harder for them to reach agreement with the government of Afghanistan so uh it's probably a good sign that the US and the Taliban have talked and something positive seems to have come out of that but probably a long way toward getting out of there however yeah too early to call but but I like to I like to remind people of this um Trump might solve four or five Wars and he's only been in office two years so you've got North Korea that I would say is on its way to being solved you know we're not there yet of course uh but everything looks good there it's hard for me to imagine that going backwards at this point and

[3:19]

that going backwards at this point and the big problem is that they had nukes aimed at us and that's solved I mean well I don't know if how aimed they are but the point is that North Korea and the United States are not enemies anymore we just stop being enemies so the big threat is over you know but there a lot of lot of details to work out to uh to get to the end State uh the war in Yemen last I knew the pressure from the United States was instrumental in getting the the sides in Yemen talking I haven't heard much from Yemen lately but last I heard they were uh talking about uh uh at least ceasing hostilities so that would be two um of course we're pulling out of Syria that still needs a lot of lot of negotiating to make sure we can do that and the the Kurds don't get slaughtered and and all that but it looks like probably we'll figure out a way to do that so it could be that in two years Trump has made serious progress in four

[4:24]

Trump has made serious progress in four Wars you know if you count beating down the uh uh Isis if you if you count Afghanistan if you count Yemen and uh North Korea that's not bad four Wars Somalia Somalia I'm not too informed on but um I don't know the deal there but maybe I'll learn that someday all
all right let's talk about uh Cala so Kamala Harris as you know has been selected by uh the media it's pretty obvious now and CNN gave gave her a big love letter in the form of uh a town hall or has that happened yet I don't know if that's happened or it's about to happen but it's pretty obvious that she is the the one selected by the the media Powers which means that she will be the the candidate unless something surprising comes up but let's talk about uh let's

[5:26]

comes up but let's talk about uh let's talk about a a few elements of that um number one uh apparently do you remember the mole I used to talk about someone I named the mole back in uh the 2016 election and the idea was the mole is not necessarily a real person although it could be you don't know you could be but the mole uh the mole was a sort of a concept for somebody giving bad advice to Hillary Clinton specifically about her tweets and her her messaging and her uh slogans and such and I I heard that um Cala Harris has a number of ex uh Hillary people who are advising her and Boyd is his show you can really see the the Hillary Clinton effect she so she's sort of Hillary 2.0 let's talk about her

[6:27]

sort of Hillary 2.0 let's talk about her persuasion number one Charisma let's talk about Cala Harris's Charisma I watched a little bit of her speech she doesn't have
any oops so it looks like the Democrats are on the verge of of picking another uh soulless vessel with no no Charisma whatsoever which is nothing but funny to me because if there was one thing they needed to get right you know they they needed to get the Obama magic right you say what you will about Obama but he had Charisma you know through the roof right you know you can't take that away from him even if you don't like anything else he did he had tons of Charisma still does Cala does not have Charisma um and

[7:29]

Cala does not have Charisma um and before you jump on me and say well maybe you're being sexist keep in mind that I told you long before uh AOC who I call rpos Al I'm thinking of I'm thinking of changing aoc's nickname to uh blue
Trump blue because Democrats and you know and there are no humans that are blue so it's a good color so blue Trump meaning that she's essentially following Trump's Playbook AOC but she has Charisma again say what you will about her politics say what you will about you know her socialism whatever I'm not arguing her politics but uh blue Trump she's got a ton of Charisma uh and if she were old enough to run for president she'd be the the front runner right now but Kamala does not now Hill Clinton was trained as a

[8:31]

not now Hill Clinton was trained as a lawyer Kamal Harris trained as a lawyer I don't know how president Trump could lose to a lawyer anything's possible right uh but how do you lose to a lawyer in this day and age it feels like it would be the easiest contest in the world uh let's talk about a few other things um let's talk about her slogans Cala Harris's slogans and this is the funny part so her campaign slogan is for the people now is that the weakest most Bland unpersuasive Charisma free slogan you've ever heard in your life for the people as opposed to what what is there somebody else who's running to represent the animals I'm pretty sure for the people

[9:33]

animals I'm pretty sure for the people is kind of what all politicians are so that looks like another example of the mo giving her advice but my favorite one was
was um and this is this is all you need to know about the quality of her advice right now so you figure she's getting tons of advice from all the EX Hillary people coming in and saying do this do that and her signature line from her uh Speech I think it was the uh announcement speech of her kandacy she said we are better than this and that that's the thing that got uh that got all the attention we are better than this what do you hear when you say we are better than this what do you
hear here's what I hear there's something wrong with you

[10:34]

imagine if somebody somebody decides to run for president under the slogan I don't know I think there's something wrong with you people collectively I don't know you're not so great there's just something wrong with you people that it I don't know if it could be a worse slogan I I don't know if you sat in a room with nothing but moles you know people who are just uh had bad intentions and wanted to give you bad advice uh we are better than this something that would come out of a mole committee all right compare make America great again make America great again says that we are capable of making things great all right so you're thinking great but you're thinking okay the system the system is broken the America part but we're pretty awesome because we can f fix that broken system and make it great again so Trump's slogan is still the

[11:35]

again so Trump's slogan is still the gold standard of of slogans in my opinion because make America great again is active it's powerful it's positive it's it's a compliment to the country yeah we can do this we can make this system that's broken great again Cala Harris we're better than this we are better than this in other words the people are broken think about it Trump's slogan says the system could be better and we awesome people can fix it kamala's kamala's signature line is that the people are
broken you people are defective it's not quite deplorable but it's close now when she says we are better than this does she mean that Democrats are better than this no she doesn't she means that the other team the deplorables shall we call

[12:38]

team the deplorables shall we call them they're are defective she's literally calling half of well we'll say figuratively calling half of the country defective who in the world gave her that advice can think about it can you imagine worse advice is there anything Dumber persu wise than to than to tell the citizens they're defective uh it was wonderfully bad all right um I'm going to read here here's some more bad Kamala harrisa so here's her 12 hours ago she tweeted this now keep in mind that this is in the context of announcing her candidacy for president so any tweet you see in the last 24 hours are really the ones that she thought about and the the ones that really she wants to make her brand all right so this is not some tweet from three years ago this this is something she's decided consciously this is where

[13:39]

she's decided consciously this is where I'm going to you know put the steak in the ground this is my brand right so listen to her tweet from 12 hours ago Kamal Harris we will fight for an America where our daughters sisters mothers and grandmothers are respected where they live where and where they work where Reproductive Rights are not just protected by the Constitution but guaranteed in every state now first reaction is oh I like making sure that half of the people in this country have a good experience meaning the female half of the country yeah I totally agree with the message I would like I would love to see daughters sisters mothers and grandmothers are are respected is there anybody who was against that do you do you know anybody who was on the other team it was anybody was saying hey you know what we need is a little less respect for daughters sisters mothers and grandmothers but

[14:40]

sisters mothers and grandmothers but here's the thing what about
men I'm going to read it to you again and then ask yourself this who is she running to rep represent and who is she proposing that she
she controls controls the behavior of because when she says that they she's going to fight to get more respect for daughters sisters mothers and grandmothers is she suggesting that women don't respect each other that doesn't seem to be the implication here it seems to be written to say that there's something wrong with men Am I Wrong think about this Frame I believe she's saying there's something wrong with men specifically because there's nothing in this about something that needs to be fixed with women she's

[15:41]

needs to be fixed with women she's fixing something for women for the Sisters Mothers Daughters and grandmothers and of course we're all in favor of that right wouldn't we all like um wouldn't we all like women to have a good experience women and girls of course but the way she's framed it is that men are the are men are the
problem Am I Wrong did she not frame this as men are the problem and so then I thought to myself well let me look at her campaign ad and there's she's got a little campaign ad where she shows little families and people and stuff and of course it's it's wonderfully diverse it's just a real diverse group of people you know right on brand that part's good and I thought to myself are there any adult white men in her campaign ad and I actually had to slow it down to see one

[16:42]

actually had to slow it down to see one in other words I had to stop it and go back and stop it and go back and stop it go back and there was one there was one shaved head bald white guy and the rest were every everything else now the everything else is fine because that's who she's representing and the country's got a lot of people so you want to you want to get them all in there but I was trying to look at how she would treat the fact that she's so clearly running an anti-male you know if we can be honest about it it's an anti-male campaign it's a proman campaign and I like proman that part's great but the anti-male part is why I called her Hillary 2.0 she's also Gone full of racis um sort of same as a little different than Hillary but she started out with the old uh president Trump hasn't uh denied uh White supremacists which of course is a

[17:44]

supremacists which of course is a lie and of course based on fake news about charlottesv so the people who believe that you know for those if anybody's new here when the president said there were good people fine people on both sides he meant both sides of the statue debate the news Twisted that into hey I think he says that white supremacists refine people which is ridiculous of course he didn't say that you know they were they were marching and saying anti-semitic things and what are the odds that Israel hasn't noticed if he's actually if he if he were actually supporting those white supremacists who were marching and saying anti-semitic things do we imagine that Israel Israel would not have noticed and obviously they seem good with this President so So based on fake news Kamala has said that the president's a big old racist and she's really calling you a bunch of racists you meaning anybody here who supports president Trump by calling the president a racist she isn't calling him

[18:46]

president a racist she isn't calling him a
a racist that's not really the whole message she's kind of saying that his supporters are races right so she's gone full race race and her right out of the choot sounds like the mole is giving her advice so if you wanted to be an anti male socialist racist scold with no Charisma she's nailing it but she's also the strongest candidate so I'm not going to tell you that she can't win it's still kind of early but uh she is a weak candidate let me tell you
you um because of the Charisma thing and because she's apparently taking very bad advice you know if if whoever advised Bernie just advised her I I think she could win in the walkway if if I'll say this again if

[19:48]

walkway if if I'll say this again if whoever advised Bernie back with in his run was now advising Kamala I'm pretty sure she could she could take the election but it seems like she's getting advice primarily from ex Hillary people which would lead her down the same trail of Doom now one of the things I'm seeing a lot of uh people who do not like Kamala Harris as a candidate and bringing up the some history of uh her romantic life in the past in which she dated Willie Brown famous politician from uh San Francisco California area and that he was alleged to have helped her in her career now we can take that away from alleged because Willie Brown just wrote a piece in which he said he did help her in her career and he was dating her at the time now this is exactly why I love Willie Brown now I don't know all of the

[20:50]

Willie Brown now I don't know all of the things he's done politically Andor you know if he's done anything I don't like but I'm just going to I'm going to evaluate Willie Brown as a personal it and as a politician I guess I love that guy and let me tell you what made me fall in love with Willie Brown as a politician again I'm not endorsing everything he's ever done I'm just saying personality wise uh years ago many years ago when Willie Brown was had a lot of power in California there was some kind of vote that came up about tobacco and I I forget it was either public smoking bill or maybe taxes on Tobacco something like that but it was something that the tobacco companies would be against at the same time Willie Brown was well known for taking lots of campaign money from tobacco companies so some reporter said to Willie Brown Willie Brown how can you be objective and vote you know in a way we can

[21:51]

and vote you know in a way we can trust when you're taking money from the tobacco companies and Willie Brown gave the best answer I've ever SE scene to a gotcha question he looked into the camera and I assume there was a camera running and he said uh if you can't take money from people and then turn around and screw them you're in the wrong
business end of the story the whole story that he was taking money from the tobacco companies just dissolved because he completely admitted he's taking their money and then he said yeah if you can't take somebody's money and then screw them you're in the wrong business I'm I'm in politics you know I can do that and it was so blunt and so funny and so unexpected because anybody else would have gone a different direction on that I just said to myself this guy's got some game so I fell in love with him from

[22:53]

game so I fell in love with him from that day on anyway um should we talk about the wall here's some things to look
for somebody somebody told me that when I uh I always have allergies in the morning that if I if I use a Kleenex off camera like like this it sounds like it looks like I'm doing lines of cocaine but I'm not all right here's the thing I'm looking for when the folks the the working group is negotiating about what they're going to do with the wall have you heard who's on the committee and who's working on it I haven't have any of you can any of you name anybody who's on the working committee trying to come up with this wall Funding Solution okay if because it seems like that would be

[23:53]

if because it seems like that would be toward the top of the news yeah most of you saying no the fact that you haven't heard who they are who's on the committee means they don't have a chance if you do later hear who's on it and you do hear a little uh hear a little bit about you know some engineers and some experts if you start seeing pictures in other words more transparency then I think there's some hope but if the media does a complete blackout and it's just like a a black box um committee where you don't know their names you don't know where they are you don't you don't see any pictures you don't see any proposals and when they're done you don't see any details and you don't hear about the names of any Engineers let let me I'll I'll make it simpler if you don't see somebody who is a border expert SL engineer some somebody who's really close to the process and and knows the costs and the benefits and the

[24:54]

costs and the benefits and the trade-offs if you don't see those people being interviewed on any of the news stations if nobody wants to talk to The Experts there's nothing that's going to happen the president said there's a 50/50 chance which is exactly the right answer he doesn't want to act optimistic or pessimistic so I think that was the right answer um but I've said from the beginning there's not much of a chance that this will be done in 3 weeks there's not much of a chance of that because everything gets delayed so I don't know how long it will take uh but something will come out of that now as I've said before um it it's looking like the only way that this committee can keep president Trump from having a win is by putting a poison pill in there and by poison pill I mean throwing in some amnesty related um extras that are Beyond just the question

[25:56]

extras that are Beyond just the question of the fence or the wall or or the wind so it looks like the committee or at least if there are any Democrats on it will probably try to throw in some things that independent of the border security and the and the physical border will try to kill it because anything they do that gives a few billion dollars to Trump is going to look like sort of a win and since the entire point of the committee is to allocate you know more money for border security and that's exactly what he campaigned on is you know more border security the Wall Part I think they can explain that way but uh or I let me say that more clearly I believe it would be easy for the president to sell to his base uh I talked about a wall but we ended up with a smart wall and it's more cost effective and better too so can the president sell to his

[26:59]

too so can the president sell to his base a better solution than a wall I think so pretty easily I would say so I'm not worried about that so I think that the only thing that the Democrats can do to derail this president from getting a victory at the end of this process whether it's 3 weeks or 15 weeks or whatever it is the only thing they can do is throw a poison pill in there so we'll see how successfully they try to throw in some some amnesty thing um all
all right um I I've told you a few times that watching my periscopes is like watching the news uh a long time before the news happens I want to give you some examples I I've course told you that President Trump would be elected two years before it happened um or a year before it happened I guess and I told you that Cala Harris would be the likely candidate back in the summer so I think that when

[28:02]

back in the summer so I think that when Cala Harris was way down in the polls um you may remember that I chose her as the likely person to run against Trump and I told you that months ago and now now you see that happening um The New York Times had a story today which is behind a pay wall but I could tell from the headlines what it is that at the Davos uh event that there were male Executives saying that they no longer are feel they no longer feel comfortable mentoring women so remember I told you when the me too thing happened that there was going to be a bad side effect for women which is that men would stop mentoring them because you you can't spend time with them you don't want to have too much contact and sure enough that's happened so I called that one two years before it
materialized remember I told you that the
the uh that the the Cuban uh Sonic weapon would never be discovered and that it

[29:02]

would never be discovered and that it would be more of a uh psychological Andor uh mostly psychological event so far so far it seems right remember I told you when the Vegas Massacre happened um Stefan Paddock I guess remember everybody that the news was saying looks like Isis and I said no it's not and then they said Isis has claimed credit for it and I said it's still not and then people said but Isis rarely almost never claims credit for something unless they actually did it it's happened but it's very rare to which I said it's not Isis what do we know now not Isis right again what did I tell you about North Korea a year before good things happened happened there I told you that events were lining up and that this president had a unique skill set

[30:04]

this president had a unique skill set and that North Korea Against All Odds was going to break positive I'm the only person in the world who said that literally the only person in the world about a year before it
it happened some says do we know stepen Paddock wasn't Isis yeah I think we know that um somebody says are we getting a prediction um give me a topic what would you like to see predicted but uh I guess I'm just trying to draw you a picture here that I have been telling you the future for a while now uh I've SE lots of questions about Howard Schultz uh my prediction is that Howard Schultz will not run a third- party campaign he will not because doing so would make him the least popular person in the world he wouldn't win and he would be coming from one of

[31:07]

win and he would be coming from one of the most popular people in the world to the most hated person in the world and it would cost him a lot of money and it would be hard it's almost no chance that that's going to make sense to him when he when he figures out uh RBG outcome do you mean health health outcome um [Music] Bloomberg uh would have no oh uh if you mean Bloomberg running a third party no uh I don't think Bloomberg has any realistic chance of getting the nomination now am I watching John McAfee um not I'm not watching him closely but uh I know a little bit about John mcafe situation and he's going to be fun to watch um here's another one I told told you about who who was the first person who told you that AOC was going to be a big

[32:09]

AOC was going to be a big deal there were two people actually who told you from day one as soon as soon as she started hitting the headlines and this was months and months ago who told you that she was going to be the headlines for a long time all right Mike cernovich and me now it's not a coinci Ence that the two of us picked her out of the crowd so early and it's not a coincidence that both of us picked um Trump out of a cloud a crowd before other people did we both saw the same thing you know the same skill set and we could see it early because we we share that skill set yeah so so Mike stovich called that and and he was telling you he was saying it loud and often and I was doing the same thing at the same time telling you that this is not a flash in the pan and that she has the Trump skill set that's that's why I'm I'm considering calling AOC blue Trump because she really is taking his

[33:12]

Trump because she really is taking his exact here we'll get rid of damn it why can't I select people I don't know my blocking finger isn't working as well um skill set in Persuasion
um you saw recently that uh when AOC said that we had we had 12 years left before climate change kills us and of course the people on the right jumped on that and said oh how stupid could you be you think we're all going to die in 12 years now I haven't talked to Mike cernovich about this but I can tell you with complete confidence without being a mind reader what he thought about it when she's said climate change will kill us in 12 years I don't even have to talk to Mike don't even have to see his his tweets to know what he thought about it she didn't mean 12 years and of course she later tweeted that she was mocking

[34:13]

she later tweeted that she was mocking somebody for taking her literally as if she actually meant 12 years she never meant 12 years it was hyperbole it was Trump technique it made her headline news it made her the biggest voice in this to topic and then she got to say well not literally but she already already got the public The public's mind where she wanted so when you see her do stuff like that it's not an accident she knows how to use hyperbole she knows how to control the the headlines and I got I got some more bad news for you I was listening to her uh her talk recently I forget at what venue it was and you're going to hate this you're really going to hate this she's a lot smarter than you
think so I at first I was thinking well maybe she has a special talent just in

[35:13]

maybe she has a special talent just in the persuasion stuff and then she would say things about you know the cost of Health Care and things that didn't add up and you'd say to yourself well oh my God she's she's bad at math or something so she must maybe she's not very smart because uh uh she says things that don't make sense like we're going to be dead in 12 years from climate change that's not true or or uh we'll actually save money if we have Universal Health Care and everybody's like that's not true how dumb can you be to think socialism gets good but I was listening to and I'll tell you why I say this I was listening to
to her choice of
words and when she gets off of her um you know tweeting voice you know you could say that Trump has sort of a a tweeting voice you know he Tweets in a certain way it's it's simpler it's more aggressive it's more provocative she has that mode too but when she backs off that a little bit and you see her higher

[36:16]

that a little bit and you see her higher vocabulary come out that's when you go oh no because she she changes to a higher vocabulary and as soon as you hear it it's hard to say it's hard to say she's dumb right cuz vocabulary is really a giveaway you know just the way she selects words on the Fly and I thought to myself oh damn it she's smarter than you think she's Pro I'm thinking she's super smart I'm thinking that and and what you think of as her not being smart is you know part of the ACT so watch for that um she's smarter than you
you think all [Music] right oh just to be clear I think she's a
a racist so I wouldn't want her to have uh any control in the country that I live

[37:16]

any control in the country that I live in so yeah I mean she's a flat race race beter racist so I'm not a fan because you know how can you be a fan of a r racist but um but that doesn't make her skill set any less doesn't make her less smart Gillette Harris so some uh few people have noted online that Cala Harris's uh campaign approach is basically the Gillette commercial and that's one of those comments where the moment you hear it you have to laugh okay maybe for some of you it's the first time you've heard it but if you saw the Gillette commercial and and you've seen Cala Harris's approach which is men or bad I mean basically men or bad is the message it's the the secret anti-male dog whistle that isn't Secret at all uh it's pretty funny you think AOC is racist yeah she's

[38:17]

funny you think AOC is racist yeah she's she's uh framed things in racial terms so if somebody's running you know somebody's a major politician and they frame things in racial terms terms that's a racist that's what it is uh people who don't frame things that way are not racist um all right that's all for now and I will talk to you later
