[Music] papa papa hey everybody come on in here it's time for coffee with Scott Adams and in order to enjoy it properly it's gonna require some coffee you could use a beverage of your own choice but I do not recommend holding your beverage in your hands no don't use your hands to hold your beverage instead how about a cup or a mug or a glass how about a stein the chalice a tankard a thermos flask a canteen the vessel of any kind suffer your hands fill it with your favorite liquid and get ready to enjoy the dopamine head of the day the best part of your day the part that gets everything going just right wow it's gonna be an amazing day join me now for this simultaneous sip perfect nailed it stuck the landing good stuff all right
[1:06]
stuck the landing good stuff all right so we're still dealing with the aftermath of the Muller Muller a conversation with Congress and there's a lot of handshaking stuff going on so let me just talk about a little bit the most amazing thing is that we're hearing reports that maybe everybody in Washington sort of already knew that Muller had lost it a little bit in other words apparently it was a quote open secret among Washington insiders that Muller was the molar that we saw testifying which was not the Muller who operated at full speed of his youth shall we say now are you kidding me everything in the world in that town leaks except that of all the things that could have leaked in Washington of all
[2:06]
could have leaked in Washington of all the things that could have leaked nobody leaked that are you freaking kidding me come on so that's weird that nobody hinted anything was wrong with Muller at the entire time now the first time I had a suspicion that there was something wrong was when we saw some video of photographers circling Muller as he was trying to get in the car and I remember looking at it at thinking huh Muller looks confused and frightened and not sure what he's doing and all he's doing is getting in a car ensure there were people around him but he didn't look capable now do you remember that do you remember seeing that video of it was nothing but him walking to his car and a lot of reporters and cameras gathered around to try to get him to quote but he just didn't look like he knew how to get
[3:07]
just didn't look like he knew how to get into a car that well it just there was something missing there and I remember thinking oh maybe it's just because he's surrounded and he's shy or something I don't know but that should have clued me in I did not pick it up as clearly as I should have but in retrospect you could see it back then so here are some things that are interesting some of you may recall that when the Russia thing first started people were talking about the deep state and there was a vast deep deep state conspiracy to overthrow the government and get rid of Trump and I said well I'm not sure it's not deep space deep deep space deep state conspiracy I don't know that they all meet and you know meet in dark rooms and I don't know that they're necessarily talking to each other but it could be
[4:09]
talking to each other but it could be that there are lots of people who are independently doing things that when he put them all together it looks like they're coordinated but they're just all doing their own their own thing I'm not so sure that's true any or now it's probably still true that not everybody who is let's say participating in one way or another it's probably not true that they were all talking to each other so I'm gonna stick with the the general statement that it wasn't you know a vast coordinated thing but it's pretty clear now or it's becoming clear that there were at least pockets of people who were doing some things that probably are gonna send some people to jail so for example I would not be surprised if at the end of is it Durham who's the attorney who's looking into how the whole thing started I would not be surprised if this ended with Muller's
[5:10]
be surprised if this ended with Muller's attorneys you know the lawyers who were working for Muller I would not be surprised if some of them ended up in jail would you because at this point it's pretty clear that the lawyers working for Muller has a lot of questions that need to be answered and those answers are not obvious to me it's not obvious to me how anybody can answer those questions but that doesn't mean they can't lawyers are pretty good at coming up with reasons that things happened so I don't know about Comey per se and I'm not sure that Comey was part of any kind of grand conspiracy but what does what does appear clear yes all right we'll get rid of that roll what does appear clear ish is that Muller's lawyers were not working for Muller the
[6:12]
lawyers were not working for Muller the public needed to know that because my understanding is that Muller was one chosen because of his independence and his credibility to be the leader of this effort it was his credibility that really made the whole thing work and now that he's lost his credibility by demonstrating that maybe he's lost a step there are also reports he wasn't really even hands-on in other words the credibility of this most important project was somebody that I don't know nobody we know so the entire process was not what the public signed up for it was not credible and it cost tens of millions of dollars and they've got to explain why there were some alleged alleged exculpatory material that was left out of their reports and
[7:15]
that was left out of their reports and their FISA applications I guess there's some evidence that there's a in existence somewhere a video not video a audio recording of a conversation with Papadopoulos in which if we were to hear that conversation and some people have apparently like Trent Trent County there's evidence that there is such a thing and there's some people have heard it and that when we hear it it's gonna make it look like the whole thing was a fraud now everything we hear is different than the way we imagine we're going to hear it what do you hear when you hear news is coming and then you compare it to the news you actually get how they tend to be pretty different so trey Gowdy yes not trying to go deep sorry I said his name wrong trey Gowdy not Trent Gowdy there's no such thing as a Trent County in the government at least all right so here are the people
[8:16]
least all right so here are the people who have the most to explain certainly Muller's lawyers look like they were not credible players whether they were involved in an outright attempt to overthrow the government I would say is not yet demonstrated but they certainly were not what's the best word they were not honest and they were not ethical so I'm gonna say that for sure because if if if Muller's attorney had been honest and ethical they would have asked for Muller to recuse himself from the situation because he wasn't in charge so I think that if they were not reporting to bar or anybody else if they were not reporting that there was something wrong with the process then they're not credible players and they're not ethical at the very least now whether that means they also do anything
[9:17]
whether that means they also do anything illegal I don't see any direct evidence and that's all I want to say that in public but they got some explaining to do
do so most lawyers don't look don't look exactly like they're free and clear of suspicion then there's the FBI employees themselves drokken page and whoever else was there and you know where those people part of a conspiracy or where they just doing their job well so far so far it looks like maybe they were just doing their job you can't really distinguish that from you know a plot to overthrow the government because the facts would look sort of similar if they were just doing their jobs but they got some there's some questions to be answered about that conversation with Papadopoulos about filling out the FISA warrants and all that then you've got fusion GPS well they get a lot of
[10:20]
fusion GPS well they get a lot of questions say it was a Great Britain was it Russia who was behind them was it Hillary Clinton was it Obama but it looks like almost everything sort of circles back to them and then when was added to the story that Clemson of fusion GPS spend time with that Russian lawyer of the Trump Tower meeting both before and after the meeting well now we've got some some questions that need to be answered I heard a theory yesterday about somebody who is behind it all I'm not gonna give you a name but there is at least a theory out there that there's an individual who is behind it all it's not George Soros so but we shall see now if I'm right we should be able
[11:23]
see now if I'm right we should be able to figure out with that individual this in other words there would be a a trail that would lead back to an individual now I don't know if that'll happen I'm just telling you sometimes I hear things ahead of time and there is an individual who should be worried right now all right Michael Moore says the Democrats can't win with their current candidates
and that's notable because Michael Moore said that a trump would probably win so Michael Moore is an anti-trump er who for whatever reason doesn't seem to live in a wonder world of volusion he sees that the Democrats have nobody who's a star and while he likes Bernie is sort of discounting Bernie as as a potential to him so Michael Moore doesn't think Democrats can win that's what I think the the
[12:24]
can win that's what I think the the slaughter meter is set at 300 percent unless something changes alright did you hear this was a small story but the federal government is reinstituting the death penalty apparently that had been on hold for X number of years I'm not sure the details but those those people convicted of federal crimes as opposed to state crimes where some states were still executing but for the federal stuff there was a moratorium on that I don't know the details doesn't matter but that's ended now what could be scarier if you're an anti-trump ER and you hear that the death penalty has really instituted because you're already afraid oh he's he's the big old Nazi racist Hitler and he's going to start killing people it's a sign of the end well that's why you might have thought except as a Joel Pollak pointed out
[13:26]
except as a Joel Pollak pointed out turns out that the first person they're gonna execute do you know who the first person they're gonna execute is a white supremacist I'm not making that up the first person that's going to be executed under the trump administration's reinstituting the death penalty is a white supremacist why is that great and amazing well the obvious reason it violates it violates the hallucination that the president is there's a supporter of white supremacist I mean you can't violate that the hallucination any harder than actually executing one of them but it's even better than that because the nature of this sort of story is that whoever gets executed first is going to get a lot of attention whoever gets executed second may be a lot less attention so what you're gonna remember about this whole story is that
[14:27]
remember about this whole story is that President Trump executed a white supremacist and he didn't need to you didn't need to it was optional because he just could have kept the law the way it was didn't need to do it so in terms of political cleverness this is just a 10 out of 10 you know you you can draw your own conclusions about whether it's dirty pool whatever you want but from a political optical point of view I don't even know if this is accidental I don't know if they just blundered into this lucky situation or somebody saw it and said hey yeah there's this situation if we do this you know we can get a win I don't know how intentional this was if it were intentional somebody's pretty darn smart and if it's accidental somebody's pretty darn lucky but it was pretty darn perfect
[15:31]
got into a little Twitter conversation with representative ted Lieu so ted Lieu was making an analogy on twitter he was saying that although muller did not conclude that President Trump was guilty of anything that one he did provide was some ham and some sale and jetsam you know some bread and he gave you all the ingredients for a ham sandwich and just the fact that Muller doesn't want to call it a ham sandwich doesn't make it not a ham sandwich if you've got bread and ham and you've put them together just right now as you know analogies are just terrific analogies I'm joking of course I make fun of analogies everyday analogies never prove anything but I joined that conversation and retweeted that with my own comment and I said if two people are standing in a room one of them sees an elephant and they're standing right next to each other and
[16:31]
standing right next to each other and the person next to him says no there's no elephant which one of them has the right version of reality it's always the one who doesn't see the elephant right the person who's seeing things that the person standing right next to him PLC is the one that's almost always hallucinating generally speaking hallucinations are additions to the to the universe they are not subtractions then as somebody is prompting me here Mark Cuban entered the conversation and responded to my response and I wrote that down somewhere boo and Mark Cuban says and not when it comes to politics partisanship via both parties has destroyed common sense and distorted reality well I don't disagree with the general statement that people
[17:33]
with the general statement that people are irrational but I responded that common sense has always been an illusion no such thing as common sense and politics certainly did not destroy it Covington's never existed we've never had it we just didn't notice until recently and it's the noticing that's what's different it's not the fact that we're irrational suddenly we didn't suddenly become irrational we've always been this irrational exactly this irrational no difference we're a hundred percent irrational always were probably always will be until we merge with computers and maybe the computers fix us but certainly there's no situation where things were pretty rational before and then in the age of Trump we all went crazy that didn't happen what happened was and by the way I
[18:33]
what happened was and by the way I predicted this publicly and multiple times before it happened years before happened and when Trump was entering the race back in 2015 I said clearly and frequently he was going to change more than politics he was going to change the way we saw reality itself and he did because we now understand in a way that we never understood before that the facts don't change people's opinions they don't people do not change their opinion because of facts now scientists have long known this the people who study you know the human mind and decision making everything they've known this forever but or at least for a long time I've known this for a long time I studied hypnosis and persuasion and anybody who follows that path understands it as well but the general public still was under
[19:34]
but the general public still was under the impression that they were 90 percent rational most of the time you know most of the time I'm rational every once awhile I get a little crazy but really reality is reverse of that we are irrational 90% of the time on all the big questions anything that has some emotion or complexity to it and the little stuff that we don't have any emotion about about let's say balancing your checkbook I like to use that example has no emotion to it so we can be rational about the little stuff but that's it and that Norm Macdonald jumped into that strings we had ted Lieu me mark cuban norma coddled it was sort of a minor celebrity I guess Mark Cuban's a major celebrity but the rest of us are are a little more minor so that I think it was norm who
[20:37]
minor so that I think it was norm who said that regardless people weren't going to change their mind so he pointed out that people aren't going to change their mind based on facts which I agree now if we were to if we were to look at my situation of the person who sees the elephant as someone hallucinating not the person who doesn't see it how often would that have been right well it would have been right with Russian occlusion because a lot of people saw the elephant and then when it was exhaustively studied there was no elephant how many people heard the president say that neo-nazis are fine people a lot tens of millions of people believe they saw the President of the United States said that neo-nazis are literally fine people except that it didn't happen another tens of million said no that didn't happen I was watching the same stuff you were saying watching and he said the opposite and so
[21:38]
watching and he said the opposite and so would you look into it the the transcript is clear he said that he wasn't talking about me or Nazis he said that directly no I'm not talking about neo-nazis and white nationalists they should be condemned totally so was the elephant there or was the elephant not there it was not there soon as you dug into it a little bit there was no elephant so once again the people who saw the elephant were wrong what happened when the Covington kids video came out a bunch of people said hey
hey there's that kid being a real jerk or maybe he's a racist or something to that poor Native American man that's that's what I saw on the first blush other people didn't see it there were other people who watched that inside huh yeah I don't see it even on the first visit video people said I'm looking right at it I've seen it I thought which one of us was hallucinating I was the people who said I'm looking at the same thing you are Scott I don't see
[22:39]
the same thing you are Scott I don't see it who was right they were they were the people who who didn't see it were right and you'll see this consistently the people who see the elephant are the ones who were hallucinating yes the koi the koi fish situation etc I think I'll sip to that let's talk about Iran so speaking of Joel Pollock he had probably the best story in the news today most of the news today is reruns and uninteresting things if I'm being honest is sort of a slow news day the most interesting article is in Breitbart by Joel Pollak I tweet it is so you can see it in my Twitter feed it's about the f-35s and there's rumors that the
[23:42]
f-35s and there's rumors that the Israelis flew in f-35 an advanced aircraft that apparently their engineers had improved in some way to get better range and it flown over Iran maybe took some pictures or did some surveillance and flew home without being detected what they flew all the way to Iran from Israel which normally would have required refueling which apparently they didn't need to do took some pictures and while home without being detected is it true well there's a rumor that is true and part of the rumor is that that perhaps the Russians had revealed to the Israelis the secret codes to avoiding Russian radar that was placed in Iran guess if you have the secret code you can make yourself invisible to the radar which would make sense that the Russians would have such a thing because they might want to be invisible to their own radar someday if they sold the radar to some
[24:44]
someday if they sold the radar to some other country now is any of this verifiable not really I mean not at this point so what if only part of that was true what if it were true just that they had flown an f-35 over Iran and went home without being detected if that's true Iran is just completely helpless defense wise or completely helpless what if the second part is true that Russia gave the secret codes to Israel I would put that at less less credible just because it's a military thing and nobody really gives a military secret to anybody else unless their own their own safety is at stake I would think so I would be highly skeptical about that part but here's the thing you can't rule it out in Kenya can't rule it out
[25:44]
it out in Kenya can't rule it out because there's the thought that Russia might not want war with Iran and maybe this is one of the ways that Iran is convinced the starting Wars a very very bad idea very very bad idea by showing that their defenses are useless well to be that's maybe stretching a little too far but the f-35 is real and whether that f-35 is enhanced and whether or not it can make it there without refueling or not I don't know if that's the big difference but if it can that's pretty important now I mean it's important but it wouldn't be the difference between war and not war I don't think because they can be refueled it's just harder now what's interesting about this is that it may be part of the tapestry of why Iran may be more flexible and
[26:44]
why Iran may be more flexible and talking peace than they ever have before I've been telling you that the way Iran is acting even though they seem like they're trying to provoke a war by you know messes with stuff and in the Straits it doesn't look like they're going too far it looks like they're they're keeping their problem making to a bee-sting you know it's just a little pink just a little pinch here a little pinch there it seems like they're very intentionally keeping it below whatever is the level that would cause an actual shooting war probably because they don't want war they say that and I think that that's true so I'll say it again you can never you can never feel comfortable predicting that you'll have peace in the Middle East it's sort of a the hardest prediction to ever make but I will say this we've never been closer we might never be this close again pretty much everything partly by accident partly by
[27:47]
everything partly by accident partly by skill seems to be lining up for something big all it would require at this point literally one person to change their mind and what I say change their mind he doesn't really even need to change his mind I'm talking about the Supreme Leader of Iran how many if he decided to try to make peace well everybody else would be on board with that and it's the last thing we you would need literally one person and the whole region is going to change would that one person like to have peace more than war well some of you say oh it's a doomsday cult and Iran just wants to kill themselves to bring back the 12th Imam or something I've never believed any of that I do not believe leaders of countries want their country to be destroyed in a war for some large religious reason certainly not Iran there are too many
[28:49]
certainly not Iran there are too many people in the you know around the ayatollah such that even if the supreme later thought that was a good idea there would be enough people around to make that not happen that you know iran is a dictatorship but not really because even the supreme leader has to be appointed by the the counsel of other ayatollahs or whatever that it is i forget the exact system but you can't be the supreme leader unless the the other the other religious leaders below you agree that you're the supreme leader so now of course once he's in power he can do a lot of things to put pressure on everybody else but the point is it's never really a one person decision not really even if there is a supreme leader he needs the support of his people or else he knows he can't last and he needs the support of his generals if you will or he knows it can't work so I would say Iran is
[29:53]
can't work so I would say Iran is teetering on the edge of being a productive part of the Middle East and we would welcome them because the Iranian people are awesome I say this all the time but it it's worth repeating the Iranian people are awesome people and I'd like to see more of them not less of them so and if you've never spent time with any Iranians you don't know what I'm talking about but they're there and especially warm you know they like the West they're great people all right so let's not have any more of them kabul harris had an interesting idea she doesn't call it reparations but it gets pretty close so calmly harris wants to invest sixty billion dollars she doesn't say where this is going to come from of course in science technology engineering and math education at the HBCUs the HBCU
[30:57]
and math education at the HBCUs the HBCU is historical black colleges and you versus I think so these are the colleges that are primarily catering to african-american students and Harris herself graduated in 1986 from one of them I guess and so sixty billion dollars primarily aimed at african-american students to get them more into STEM high-paying jobs this is very close to what I had floated once but she's not she's not selling it well I had once floated the idea that if you were to do reparations you should do them in the form of improving education for low-income people making it free or cheap or easy for everybody to go to college if you make it cheap and free for everybody that includes the black population and that that would be a
[31:59]
population and that that would be a gigantic potential for improving things the way Kamel Harris's is doing it it looks like she's gonna tax we don't know who but presumably people with money not poor people and she wants to give it to historically black colleges there's one problem with that plan what is the one problem with that plan
it's racist how else can you describe that plan except it's racist I don't know how else to describe it and I'm not even if we were to back up a little bit and say okay let's not be partisan you know let's let's just try to you know be as objective as we are it is a plan that is aimed at a specific ethnicity explicitly I'm not I'm not adding that
[32:59]
explicitly I'm not I'm not adding that as my analysis it's explicitly aimed at one ethnicity and so I asked myself where's the sixty billion dollars for the white further than I'm sorry where's the sixty billion dollars for the poor Hispanic citizens where's the 60 billion dollars for the poor white citizens the reason that this can't work is that it's explicitly racist it's explicitly racist it's not even pretending not to be now I liked what I've called the the hawk abusive approach to reparations I've said this before well hard gruesome said and I'm over interpreting his opinion so that so don't don't pin this on him I'm taking something he's had and extending it which is that and I'm not sure where he got this from that whatever you do this good for the black population in
[34:00]
this good for the black population in this country is going to be good for everyone if you do it right so everyone works out everyone is better off if some if any kind of program is also good for black people I would say that's right if what you're doing is making sure that everyone who has no opportunity now because they're poor and even though it's a country with plenty of opportunity if you're poor you have less less of it so if you extended the opportunity for people in the lowest end of the economic spectrum you would get everybody but it would necessarily help black people more than other people because there's a higher percentage of poverty in that group so that would be a kind of reparations that I think somebody could sell here's another form of reparations are you ready border security Matt I'm not recommending this
[35:00]
security Matt I'm not recommending this so I'm just gonna throw this out for some red meat for something to think about but I'm not recommending it I'm just saying who benefits the most from strong border security whether it's the wall or the wall plus better border security who is it who benefits the most from strong border security African Americans and everybody poor who's competing were competing for jobs at the low end so it seems to me you could actually sell the wall as reparations because it is it would be money that would be mostly coming from it would be coming mostly from rich people because that's where taxes come from yeah they come from people who have money not not from people who don't so if you were to tax the rich to pay for border security you
[36:04]
the rich to pay for border security you would end up with reparations it would be rich white people paying a lot of money to literally protect primarily black citizens and also Hispanic citizens and any kind of citizens were in the lower economic spectrum the border is reparations if you do it if you sold it that way now I'm not suggesting that the president sell it that way because he would be mocked before that but logically it is logically it makes sense but you can't politically I'd be impossible of course all right that brings us to the end of my prepared comments do you have any questions oh I had one other thing I wanted to talk about I saw a comment on Twitter so this is just a person's opinion on Twitter so it doesn't matter who it is it's just a person on Twitter who made this statement which I found
[37:04]
who made this statement which I found provocative the statement is the root cause of depression is lack of meaningful work the root cause of depression is lack of meaningful work and that depression could cause drug abuse and all kinds of other problems now I do not believe that all depression is because of lack of meaning for there's a real organic there's a an actual mental health problem that is depression that is independent of what you're doing so certainly there exists some forms of depression they have nothing to do with whether you're working or not working so I think we can all agree to that but the general sense that it seems to me that people are more anxious and more depressed than a time in history maybe it's our smartphones maybe it's modern life maybe it's something but I do I do see this correlation I see that when
[38:05]
see this correlation I see that when people have meaningful work they seem to get along better in life and so it could also be true that people who have maybe they're close to depression but they wouldn't otherwise have it if they had meaningful work I think there is something to meaningful work I think we're built that way and I think that as we have less and less of it and I'm talking about even simple things you know my job sometimes it is meaningful it's much more meaningful when I'm doing this my my drawing cartoons has its purpose but it's not really meaningful if you know what I mean you know if Dilber stopped running tomorrow the world would go on pretty well and the other thing is that Dilbert doesn't give me a physical sense of accomplishment I mean I draw it on the computer it's a digital product so I like doing the
[39:07]
digital product so I like doing the periscopes because it connects me better to the world it's more meaningful so what I'm doing right now is completely satisfying on a purpose of life level cartooning is a job and they're different all right
do you remember what was the big scandal a few days ago I'm already forgetting it was the president's tweet about go back home is it my imagination or did that hole go back home thing just disappear suddenly when it turned out that the two members of the squad have been using that same language in public telling other people too go back where they came from or is it just that the whole Mahler thing just eliminated it because it seems to me that the the racism charge against Trump a lot of the steam got taken out of that
[40:07]
a lot of the steam got taken out of that by the fact that well first of all calmly Harris is literally recommending a racist program and not even apologizing for it this literally racist she attacked Joe Biden for being somewhat adjacent to racism I mean I don't think she actually accused she didn't accuse Biden of being a racist but he was sort of racist adjacent he was in the neighborhood of a racist he was sort of close to somebody who was almost one but not really and then of course the squad being racist it just makes a little racism thing looked ridiculous at the same time that the the Russia collusion thing completely fell apart so what do they have left what do the anti-trump errs have left that they started to pivot to health care at about the same time that we learned that pharmaceutical costs may have stalled or
[41:08]
pharmaceutical costs may have stalled or going down for the first time ever ever the first time ever how do you run against that how do you run a candidate against the best presidential performance of all time and by the way I say that without I don't think that this is an exaggeration now I could be completely deluded because you know everybody's in their own little bubble but I've been saying this for a long time and it just seems to be more and more true every day it seems to me their president Trump's first term so far is the best presidential performance of all time I would say he's got the most done productively of anybody any president ever I don't know I would love to hear it a historian compared now if you were to say who's the best president ever people would say ah you can't you can't
[42:09]
people would say ah you can't you can't say Trump is the best president ever at cuz look at the founders you got your Jefferson you got your Washington yeah you got your Madison's or whatever Madison but how many of the founders were slave owners right you can't really compare a moderate president to a slave owner because we sort of automatically give the slave owner okay a lot of credit for some of the good things you did but yeah you know on slaves a modern president didn't own any slaves and just came in and did some good work for the the public so you're already starting in front I think even Lincoln had some troubling racist beliefs did he not you know Lincoln did a solid for the country but I think he's got some things to explain far more than Trump so we have
[43:12]
explain far more than Trump so we have an unusual situation in which perhaps John Adams wasn't that is correct my potential relative John Adams was not only not a slave owner but he was a lawyer who defended at least one slave in a very public case but nobody thinks John Adams was a top president so there's that I think he was one-term wasn't he wasn't John Adams one term do I have that wrong I don't remember exactly all right that's all you have to talk about today go off and have a wonderful day because it's gonna be a wonderful day that's all you need to know bye for now
