[Music] [Applause] [Music] pom pom pom hey everybody come on in here it's time for coffee with Scott Adams seems like we have just one topic these days and we're gonna hit it we're gonna hit it hard we're gonna hit it 52 times but before we do that there's a little thing I like to do it's called the simultaneous hip and I know you like it - and that's why you're rushing to get in here on time imagine how bad you'd feel if you were in that let's say the third one-thousand people to come in here and you missed the simultaneous sip well you'd feel sad all day no you wouldn't but it's better if you have it and you're gonna have it right now and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass a tankard chelators type a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like

[1:03]

it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoyed me now for the unparalleled pleasure that's the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better the simultaneous sip go oh yeah yeah that's good Oh
getting the day started there well let's talk about the stuff are you ready we got stuff Dan Crenshaw representative Crenshaw tweeted that he said for those claiming there's quote no plan talking about the Iranian stuff that this was quote reckless Dan Crenshaw reminds us the step number one of any strategy is to stop letting terrorist regimes attack us without repercussions reasonable seems reasonable if somebody is punching you in the face repeatedly what's your

[2:04]

you in the face repeatedly what's your strategy well I think your strategy is let's you know find a way to make you stop punching me in the face at first I'll work out some of the nuance of my strategy later but at the moment I need you to stop punching me in the face I think the president retweeted that
here's the worst pun did take on the whole Iranian situation and the and the killing of Solomon a-all right you ready for it and watch how many times you hear it today you're gonna hear this the worst opinion the most useless thing you could ever hear from lots of pundits today and it goes like this well I'm gonna have to do I'm gonna have to do this in the in the image of Dale let me give you the worst to take on the Iranian murder of

[3:07]

worst to take on the Iranian murder of Solomon well the murder of Solomon II and it goes like this it's gonna make things more dangerous do you get that more dangerous risky yeah it's risky something bad might happen I've got a feeling that killing somebody at the top of their government might have repercussions there might be something bad that happens because of war okay seem can we all stipulate can we all just bring together can we hold hands and stipulate that we all kind of know that this might be a little risky can we all agree on that can we just never say it again can I

[4:09]

can we just never say it again can I never can I turn on the TV today and now here a pundit look at the camera and tell us as if we had not figured this out on their own you know killing their number two guy who's the head of the military my expert opinion this could cause a little risk could get dangerous okay we know that right enough of that did you all see the video of the car that drove off a cliff in front of another car now if you haven't seen it the scene is this there's a there's one car that's filming just because the scenery is good they say and they're driving along this sort of a mountainous cliff highway and the ocean is down the cliff to the right and as they're coming to a turn the people were filming in their car see in front of them another car going right in front of them off the road and like jumping in

[5:11]

of them off the road and like jumping in the air and off the cliff into the ocean have you all seen that video and it's been a few days now and they can't find any sign of the car and nobody has reported missing that would be identifiable with that car let me add something to this story deep fake if I were going to fake an interesting thing to make a viral video how hard would it be if I were driving down the road and I saw let's let's say it was just coincidentally there was a car that pulled it in front and there was a little parking area in which the car wouldn't past it and allegedly into the ocean if I saw that car do that how hard would it be for me to Photoshop that car going not just into the parking space but 20 feet further and often into the ocean it wouldn't be hard right if

[6:14]

the ocean it wouldn't be hard right if you were if you were good at that kind of stuff so I asked you this did a car coincidentally give videotaped perfectly driving off a cliff and then nobody found any parts and nobody reported anybody missing keep in mind that the video of the car is very clear so you can tell make and model the car it is and it's and it was widely reported are you telling me that nobody who knows somebody who would own that car has reported that they're dead or missing now maybe it's it's entirely possible it's entirely possible that it was a real car that went over a cliff and there you know we just haven't figured out the details yet it's possible but all I'm saying is we will all agree that that would be easy to fake easy for someone who knew how to do that stuff right so if even the video of a car going off a cliff is fake how do you

[7:15]

going off a cliff is fake how do you know what's real anymore and one of the things that's gonna be really really tough to sort out with this Iranian situation here watch me bring it back bringing it back to Iran is this question what does it what are the Iranian people think about the murder of Solomon a do you think you know do you think you know what the public reaction is not not the official reaction but the public reaction in Iran do you think you know what that is so you were seeing the two competing narratives take off I guess Salman a was there was a funeral service for him I guess yesterday and there were just god-awful even you know huge number of people attended and I saw one commenter say that you shouldn't believe these Saudi Arabia shills who are saying that people are actually happy about Solomon

[8:15]

people are actually happy about Solomon a being killed and that if you look at the if you look at the number of people who attended the funeral you can see it's a really big deal over there now here's the thing can you and I tell if it's a big deal yet or what percentage of the Iranian people are happy about it and different or or angry about it can you tell because I can't tell it's too early and if you can't tell if a car went off a cliff will we ever know ever will we ever know what was the internal opinion of this now I can tell you that I continue to hear anecdotal reports so anecdotal means there's no scientific reason to assume that this is a general truth but anecdotally I'm hearing trickles of people who know people in a rayon or connected to Arab who are saying that they're happy but

[9:17]

who are saying that they're happy but it's anecdotal likewise the the pictures of the millions of mourners going to the funeral is anecdotal because no matter how many million went to the funeral how many million did not how many million were dancing in their living rooms instead of going to the funeral we don't know so it doesn't matter that million that a million let's say a million people went to a funeral let's say it's the biggest funeral of all time what does it mean well it doesn't mean anything necessarily because you don't know about the people who didn't go you know there are more of them obviously there are more people who didn't go but they had lots of reasons not to go they were busy they had other things to do it's too far away too expensive whatever so watch for the Battle of of persuasion on the question of what the Iranian public thinks of this all right the president has this week I think his

[10:21]

president has this week I think his worst week of persuasion I say this again for my continuous critics who say no matter what the President does you say it was amazing and great and persuasive well no that's just not true I don't say that and I'm definitely now saying it today I think today might have been the president's biggest persuasion mistakes now I'm not counting let's say you know things he said off the top of his head they got him in trouble because you could find lots of examples of things he said you know just spontaneously that got him in trouble but with his tweets you know with his tweets he puts thought into it and he's trying to persuade so if he puts thought into it and tries to persuade and it's still wrong I'm gonna call that out and this is the rawest in my opinion it's the the worst performance of the President on persuasion and here's why so he did his tweet where he saw that

[11:22]

so he did his tweet where he saw that where he wore the irradiance via tweet but of course he's talking to his domestic people at the same time and he's saying that the US has targeted 50 to Iranian sites which he goes on to say represents the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago and that he says some of those targets the 52 targets are a very high level and important to Iran and the Iranian culture this is so bad I mean this is and this border is unimpeachable itália this is really bad and those targets in Iran itself will be hit very fast and very hard in the USA wants to no more threats here's everything that's wrong with that by bringing the past into it the 52 American hostages that were taken was at 1979 or something by

[12:26]

were taken was at 1979 or something by bringing the past into it he has complicated a simple situation I was praising aggressively aggressively praising Lindsey Graham's approach which I believed incorrectly I incorrectly believed was also the president's approach so it turns out the Lindsey Graham and the president are not on the same page which is a surprise on this topic it's a surprise it wouldn't be a surprise on topics in general but on this topic I'm surprised to find out that the president is not taking Lindsey Graham's advice and/or lead on that or vice versa and so the president's talking about 52 sites including and this is just so bad Iranian culturally important sites oh my god that's bad when when the president says we're gonna attack culturally important sites he's not talking about the government anymore that's a big you to the people of

[13:27]

that's a big you to the people of Iran and I can't support this absolutely do not support this if we were to attack important Iranian cultural sites I mean I assume we would only attack them as a military presence or something but given that we have options such as the oil refineries I would say this is the worst performance we've ever seen out of the president persuasion wise now I'm gonna soften this a little bit because there's an argument on the other side and I don't want to ignore it I'm just gonna say that I prefer the argument that I'm giving you the argument on the other side is that telling them there are 52 sites it does make them spread their defensive resources out so it could be that the entire plant is still the refineries all right so here's I'm going

[14:27]

refineries all right so here's I'm going to give the president a trapdoor like there there's a look there is one way that this can still make sense and still be right but I don't think it's true I'm just gonna mention it so all the possibilities are on the table one possibility is he's just making it harder for the the Iranian military to defend the places were actually going to attack if we need to attack so if that's what he's doing now so bad because it could be that the military had just said to Lindsey Graham Lindsey you fool you've told them exactly where we're going to attack so they can put all their defenses there but I don't know if they have enough defenses to stop our attacks on the refinery does Iran have such good defenses that they get really defend refineries I don't think so but but that would be the just for completeness I'll say if the reason he's doing it is to make Iran have more

[15:29]

doing it is to make Iran have more trouble defending everything they need to defend that could have some utility right and somebody says I'm mind-reading that's the opposite of what I'm doing I'm telling you that there are possibilities that all fit the facts how does that mind-reading I'm giving you all the possibilities and I'm not telling you that any of them are rule there that's the opposite of mind-reading all right mind-reading says you know what they're thinking I'm saying the opposite of that okay the opposite of I know what he's thinking is what I'm saying right now
the other possibility is that well that's really the main thing it rashes us up the danger it makes it look like the potential is bigger maybe it sounds scary you know sort of bullying and threatening but here's another thing that's wrong with it it reframes it as revenge you can't do

[16:30]

it reframes it as revenge you can't do worse than that that says that's the lowest worst job you could do on persuasion is to reframe this thing as revenge for something that happened in 1979 really do you know what's wrong with the Middle East this this is what's wrong with the Middle East the Middle East is always fighting some war in the past they're always trying to reclaim the land that we lost a thousand years ago over fifty years ago or where we're mad about that time this ruler did this or that other leader did this in the past fighting the last war is a dumbest thing that the president could do and bringing 1979 into this is it is probably his biggest mistake all right now the again let's let's show both sides so another thing that it could do is it could remind America of let's say

[17:32]

is it could remind America of let's say the bad intentions of Iranians over decades so could it could remind the American public especially the ones who haven't looked into it let's say you're 35 years old and you have no idea why we're mad at Iran you just you don't have the context well by bringing up to 52 it requires the news media to remind the American public of what Iran did in 1979 and they took some hostages it could be and I'll just throw this out as speculation all right because I you know I would love I would love to find out that there's something missing in my opinion or at least my understanding in which would make the president's tweet actually smarter than it looks and I would love that to be true and it would be consistent with everything we've seen for several years if that turned out to be true so I would say there's a strong

[18:32]

be true so I would say there's a strong possibility there's something I don't know that's part of why he's tweeting this way would we all agree that there might be something I don't know they would change how I think about this one of the things and I'll just speculate is that the Iranians may have threatened to take hostages so on the menu of things that Iran might do one of the things that probably would bother us a lot is if they took hostages and the president reminding them that taking hostages won't work out for them meaning that we're still going to get revenge for hostages they took in 1979 it could be connected meaning that it's a way to remind them that taking hostages will never work out for you in the long run maybe I mean if we find out that that's the case I would soften my opinion a little bit I say oh okay this is really about hostage taking and it's a warning

[19:33]

about hostage taking and it's a warning not
not do it maybe possibly that's the best spin I could put on it and then he goes on to say well no that's what he's going out to say oh it gets worse this is really bad it definitely is worst week in my opinion unless we find out some new information it's just worst week and then he goes on to tweet the president does the United States just spend two trillion dollars on military equipment we are the biggest and by far the best in the world if Iran tacks on an American base or any American we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way and without hesitation god I hate that tweet I really hate that tweet now dezirian know that the US military is so much bigger than theirs that that they can't compete straight up yeah of course does the rand know that we have enough

[20:34]

does the rand know that we have enough military stuff to do what we need to do yeah of course do we need to remind both the American taxpayers and Iran that we spend two trillion dollars on Twitter two trillion dollars is trending and not in a good way not in a good way is trending as sort of a dick move that you know what it sounds like here's the framing that I get out of this the framing I get out of this is we spent this money we want to use it this feels like we're gonna we're gonna you up because we spend a lot of money on this stuff and we don't want to have a sunk cost that's not what it's saying but that's how it feels it feels like we spent the money we need to use this stuff awful awful F I give this to these two tweets absolute failing grades and

[21:34]

two tweets absolute failing grades and by the way I'm not anti a killing of Salomon a so in terms of what the president decided I don't know that that's wrong that might be right but these tweets are way wrong all right so we we're learning a little bit about the president's decision-making and here's the story that's emerging stories say that the president was giving a range of options from dealing with Iran and that and here's the funny part they decided to give Trump one very risky option and the reporting says and this sounds reasonable I mean it passes the sniff test so the reporting says that the military always gives them an extreme option so that it makes it easier to pick a moderate option in other words the moderate option might look pretty dangerous but it'll look less dangerous if you package package it with other choices one of them is more risky so on no military presentation

[22:37]

risky so on no military presentation expert but if I'm presenting options to a president who is named President Trump do you feel comfortable going in that room the thinking he's not gonna pick the risky one who was it on the military side putting together the options who said you know he's never gonna pick this risky one have you met the president yeah I think he might pick the risky one that which doesn't mean it's the wrong choice you know let me be very careful doesn't mean it's the wrong choice but if they went into a meeting thinking that President Donald J Trump would pick the safe one I don't know if they've ever met the president have they ever met the president he does not you know reflexively and automatically take the choice you think he's gonna take ever he never takes the choice you're gonna take you could give him 50

[23:40]

you're gonna take you could give him 50 choices and rank them based on whether you would take them you know that you rank them all 50 choices from the one you would take to the one you would least take he might take the one you'd least take that's so much built into his personality and part of his success I would say definitely part of his success doing the unusual doing the unexpected doing the riskier than you would do going further than you would go that's who he is so it feels like a gigantic military mistake if they thought they were going to manipulate the president by giving him one option that looked extra risky he might take that asked extra risky one so note note to self note to self if you don't want him taking the risky option you better not give it to him all right so here are

[24:42]

not give it to him all right so here are a few things going on on the question of the imminent attacks so there are two things we know one is that there apparently there have been 13 rocket attacks generally in the direction of American interests I guess over there in the Middle East and then there was another rocket attack last night I guess or two rocket attacks that occurred near an Iraqi base that hosts coalition troops so it's a rocket attack there was near an iraqi base but there's some coalition troops there does that mean that it was a response it's kind of murky there was also some kind of action in Africa at a base where sometimes Americans use the base but we don't know it was Al Shabab who attacked but al Shabaab usually doesn't like I ran but sometimes they do you know they've worked with Iran in the past so even

[25:43]

worked with Iran in the past so even though they normally don't like them maybe they're doing a favor is it a coincidence that they attacked a facility that might have some american interest so we might see this with this infinite greys situation where we're not entirely sure if Iran is even retaliating all we see is a bunch of people who may or may not like Iran doing things they may or may not have done anyway and we just aren't gonna know if it's because of her Iran's influence or not but let me tie this back to the question of whether Solomon a was planning a widespread and more attacks so the president is saying two reasons there are two reasons for killing him alright one reason is you have to draw the line at you know he is at the behavior so if Iran was had killed the contractor they were attacking an embassy they've done some other stuff if that if we didn't

[26:45]

some other stuff if that if we didn't react if we didn't react it would create a precedent where they say oh I guess we can keep keep doing this stuff until we drive him out of the Middle East so the President as Crenshaw said one of the objectives was simply to make sure that they knew that they've gone too far and that nothing's going to go further than this that's that's our point of reaction that's good the second reason given is that there were a potential future or bigger attacks planned and we stopped some big attacks from happening now one of the one of the things I've taught you is that if somebody gives one good reason for something oh I did it because it's probably true in other words is well not probably but depending who you're talking to and how credible they are if you get one reason that's probably an indication that it's a correct and accurate and honest reason doesn't mean

[27:45]

accurate and honest reason doesn't mean necessarily it's true just because it's one reason but it's an indication of truth there's one reason here's a tell for a liar oh I'm sorry I'm late I got a flat tire and traffic was bad if somebody gives you two reasons two different reasons for a thing that might be a lot the more reasons you add it's because you think your first reason isn't credible it's sort of a tell for a lie to add a second reason and this killing of Solomon a has two reasons one we have to draw a line says you know we've enough you know you know so it's a defensive thing and two we're stopping a future attack that we knew about the second part of that does not pass the sniff test could be true totally could be true but it doesn't pass the sniff test because of the two reasons all

[28:48]

test because of the two reasons all right one reason convincing two reasons you start to have some questions about whether they're making up reasons because they don't want to tell you the real reason now I'm going to tie this all together if it's true that there were thirteen attacks in the past two months and plus we've seen all these other little attacks plus you know the attacks of the contractor with the attacks of the embassy etc here's my here's my addition to the conversation dude did we need to know specifically what those next future attacks would be in order to know that there were future attacks and that this guy would be behind them here's my addition to the conversation our intelligence did not need to know anything specific about future attacks in order to know that there would happen because the past had created a pattern that was unambiguous attacks attacks attacks tax tax tax attacks today what

[29:50]

attacks tax tax tax attacks today what are the odds that they weren't going to be future attacks if all the other attacks had been happening and they were regular and they were increasing of course they were going to be future attacks of course there were going to be it was obvious that Iran's strategy was to keep you know poking us and poking us in as many places until it became unbearable to stay you know with forces in the area it's obvious that was the strategy why is it obvious because that would be our strategy there would be anybody strategy it's an obvious strategy if it had not been Iran's strategy to focus as much as possible until we feel like we have to leave well what would be wrong with Iran I mean are they idiots everything we see about Iran suggests they're smart everything and it would have been smart to poke us until they you know as long as it worked and it was working so those those who say that they doubt the

[30:51]

those who say that they doubt the intelligence that we knew there were imminent attacks I say to you doesn't matter completely irrelevant it is completely irrelevant if we had specific reliable Intel about future attacks it doesn't matter to anything because we have enough of a history to know there's a hundred percent chance of future attacks especially if we don't lay down the line in the sand as long as there was no line that says we're gonna stop you if you keep doing this and there was a history of it increasing over time and this guy was travelling around talking to people how much intelligence do you need to know there was going to be more of it you don't need any so the people are asking about the quality of the intelligence I would say irrelevant all right

[31:53]

see what else we got going on here I'm gonna double down on my prediction there was somebody somebody high up in the Iranian government who tweeted out the location and value of all of the Trump properties around the world which seemed to me that he was suggesting that the Trump properties around the world would be a risk or maybe he's suggesting that other people put them at risk and I thought that was actually a pretty good play from Arang because all they did it was the guy I forget who I suppose somebody somebody high up in the government he tweeted a Forbes I think it was a Forbes article that just listed all the Trump properties and where they are now there's nothing illegal about about tweeting a Forbes article it just happened to be kind of threatening in our Turnus situation because it shows all those properties now I haven't seen that reported in the

[32:53]

that reported in the News and I'm glad because the less attention that gets the better I probably shouldn't have mentioned it myself but I don't think there are any terrorists watching this periscope and at least I hope not any of you terrorists I hope not so I thought that was a pretty good persuasion play but on behalf of all Americans I think I can save the following if they ever if anybody ever acted on that particular threat that would be a really big mistake as mistakes go if Iran were dumb so I think it's smart to sort of call it out you know just to to remind us that everybody is vulnerable so that's probably smart but if anything happens if that turns into an attack on one of those

[33:54]

into an attack on one of those properties that's a different level that's that's a big problem all right so I don't think they're gonna do all right so I'm gonna double down on my prediction are you ready here's my prediction there will not be an unambiguous attack from Iran there will be ambiguous situations where we think maybe they were behind something but we're not quite sure so I think that's where it's going I don't think you're gonna see something like an attack on the mainland an Iranian obvious Iranian proxy who obviously doing it just because Iran told them to I don't think we're gonna see that yeah I think it's gonna be like the Kenya situation today where you look at it you go I don't know al-shabaab they barely they don't even like her and but they've worked with them I don't

[34:55]

but they've worked with them I don't know their Islamic maybe maybe timing so I think you get to see a lot of gray area but no direct smoking gun
while all this happened all this was happening there was another gigantic piece of news that probably you missed the President signed Congress I guess Congress passed and the President signed the Debbie Smith reauthorization Act of 2019 that's named after a rape victim of the past and what it does is if funds money so that the states can test a hundred thousand untested rape kits in other words we have the DNA from a hundred thousand rapes that nobody has the resources or the ability so far to test and the president just funded it think about that the president in all

[35:57]

think about that the president in all likelihood just solved a hundred thousand rapes that's a pretty big deal I mean that's a super big deal and that's just the ones that are backlog think about all the ones going forward because it's not just about the ones in the backlog it's about all the ones that are coming in every day and here's the question you have to ask yourself why did that happen before why did we have to wait for Trump to need to sign it and you know Congress to pass it well why did this take so long I mean I'm the guy who always says you know that's not a fair question why did it take so long but it's a curiosity why did that take so long because it's not like the government ran out of money I mean you know we're dead anyway and a few whatever millions of dollars for this isn't going to change our debt much but he just solved a hundred thousand rapes how do you vote for the the other one if you're if you're a woman and you're

[36:59]

you're if you're a woman and you're looking at this and you're saying yeah I want to I want to vote for the one who's the best for women I don't know presidents building a little portfolio here that women are gonna have a harder time ignoring so I the interesting situation yesterday I just have to tell you this so you're gonna have a laugh so I had a bunch of trash after Christmas so if you can imagine a pile of trash about the size of a small car now some of it was an old Christmas tree a fake Christmas tree dr. bill won some decorations that were old some some old kinds of Christmas lights that are inefficient and then a whole bunch of garbage because coincidentally because the holidays I forgot to put my garbage out so I had all this garbage so we hired a company with an app alright you don't use an app and hired independent

[38:00]

don't use an app and hired independent contractor to come pick it up and he did guys showed up picked up all of our trash pretty good news wouldn't you say what a world we live in you could just pick up an app and your trash goes away well that's the good part what he to it what he did was he filled his truck with my trash he drove it to a public street in a in a neighboring town and he dumped it on the side of the public street I know this because he well-meaning bicyclists I think he was on a bicycle drove by and saw this gigantic pile of trash on a public street including trash bags dug into my trash found my tax information a lot of other stuff that I should have in any other time I would have shredded this is the first time I was too lazy to shred some stuff I was just half there's

[39:02]

shred some stuff I was just half there's too much of it I don't feel like spending half a day shredding it'll just go to the dump I thought it's just gonna go to the dump yes it had my address on it and they had enough personal information that the bicyclist called me at home and said is this picture I'm sending you on my phone after he sent me a picture he said does this your trash it's got your name all over it and Christina's name all over it and it was so now I have a gigantic pile of my trash that is a criminal act right I mean I've apparently I'm guilty of littering in a massive way in a neighboring town so we had to use another app and hire another trash guy and here's the fun part there was no address right I knew sort of by description that was on a certain road but it wasn't it was a road that didn't have any addresses nearby yeah

[40:02]

didn't have any addresses nearby yeah there was a lot of trees and stuff I think there was a park there or something so I had to we had to figure out how to did like describe it and send him over so four hundred and fifty dollars later that's what it cost to send a truck out to pick up my garbage and take it to the dump so I think I spent about six hundred dollars getting rid of garbage yesterday which should have been free but let me tell you don't always trust your apps all right I just had to tell you that we sent the bill to the other to the other app provider not expecting to get reimbursed all right that's all I got for now well I'll tell you the app the app was go trashy go trashy was the app that we use that ended up with the garbage by the side of

[41:04]

ended up with the garbage by the side of the road now to be clear these sorts of apps do not employ I don't think yeah couldn't I don't think they employ these people these are just independent contractors kind of like uber you know uber is not uber can't really know that every person who drives an uber car is not a criminal or will not commit a crime so I don't blame the app maker so don't take it out on the app maker there are bad humans and it was just a bad human who got in the mix so nothing I have nothing negative to say about the app itself there was just one bad one bad apple
yeah so like like I'm saying you should not I would not ask you the app I would say that they got one bad person working for him and you know that's the way it works I wouldn't want to see them I wouldn't want to see them damaged because they got a bad apple of me in the mix that would not be not

[42:04]

the mix that would not be not appropriate and not fair to them small claims court now because that would really be about the individuals and it's just not worth doing somebody says that go trashy is their dating app that's pretty funny all right that's enough for now I'll talk to you later
