[Music] bumbum bumbum hey everybody come on in it's time for coffee with Scott Adams today with extra cursing some people like sugar in their coffee some people like cream I like extra cursing not everyday but sometimes there are just no other words that can get the job done we'll get to that in a moment but first let's do the important things it starts with a little thing called the simultaneous sip where's everybody this morning huh crowds kind of light is everybody sleepy well here's what you need to get going you need a cup or a mug glass of tanker gels or sign the canteen Joker flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee coffee and cursing and joining me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine today the day the thing that makes everything better including the

[1:04]

makes everything better including the damn pandemic go mmm I can feel our data improving every moment so I did a little lesson last night on periscope on affirmations right now that's still live in all the places that is live at some point that might move only to locals but for now it's available in all the usual places if you want to catch that interesting lead twitter has announced that it's going to allow its employees to work remotely I don't know what that means in terms of transition I assume that they'll get a choice of going to the office or working remotely but as smart people have pointed out the commercial real estate market might be in for a big hit in the Bay Area because a lot of big companies are gonna say we don't need this much office space so but that'll take a while

[2:07]

office space so but that'll take a while to wind through the system I guess so Pelosi has a three trillion dollar relief proposal and I saw Tucker talking about it as the only people who could fund this borrowing would be China and I asked myself are we understanding this right if we just print the money we owe China money do we print it an issue instruments which China buys and if we do why would they buy it why would they do that is this little better than whatever they're doing you know it's better than the alternatives there's something about you know I've got a degree in economics and I'm looking at all this printing trillions of dollars and I don't have a clue I I don't even have a good guess of where that ends up do you and do you have any idea where that ends up what happens when you print what five how many trillions are we

[3:09]

what five how many trillions are we gonna print altogether six right and somebody says why only three trillion why not six I have exactly the same question because your instinct is well you know you don't want to have too much but I say to you who knows what's too much if you would ask me I'd say well three trillion is too much one trillions too much 100 billion yeah we could push we could handle that but a trillion no three trillion six trillion nobody knows what the limit is think about that the smartest people in economics we can't get this right within ten trillion dollars would that be fair would it be fair to say that the best experts in our world on economics don't really know within ten trillion dollars just for the United States I'm not even talking about the globe but for the United States we

[4:12]

the globe but for the United States we don't know the right answer within ten trillion dollars we don't know is there a place where you you've gone too far and you can recover is there a place that isn't far enough ten trillion dollars and we don't really know we're just guessing
so that's scary speaking of scary AOC is apparently gonna join Biden's campaign to be on some kind of a climate change panel which will go well until she accuses him of sexual crimes because the fun thing about AOC is correct me if I'm wrong but didn't she I think she came down a little bit harder on Biden than other people didn't she am I remembering that wrong so she's sort of dangerous to have inside the tent but at the same time you kind of have to because she's made herself somewhat indispensable done quite a good

[5:14]

somewhat indispensable done quite a good job at that I would say so I love the fact that that's even being talked about but what's funnier is the fact that Biden is literally hiding in his basement and well here's here's another wonderful thing that the simulation has served up didn't you imagine that all we would be talking about this summer is the women that Biden was sniffing and touching and hugging and kissing didn't you think that he was going to be you know all handsy in public and it would just be one story after another he's handsy touched her you know he's just Joe that's just that way he is he's affectionate but the simulation delivers us the one kind of crisis that makes Joe Biden unable to touch women how weird is that the only thing that Joe Biden really really needed to have a legitimate chance of winning the the election well he needed two things think

[6:15]

election well he needed two things think about this two things that Biden needed to win the election number one an excuse not to debate them all right because if he debates he's gonna lose everybody knows that so he needed some some extraordinary situation to cause it not to have to debate delivered the other thing he needed was something that would keep him away from touching one in public and he got the only kind of the only kind of crisis they would have that specific quality don't touch anybody in public what else can you think of any other anything any other crisis I mean even AIDS you can touch people all you want you're not gonna get it from a hug right so this is the rarest weirdest once ever problem that Joe Biden who would be touching women in public and losing his race by doing it can't do it the only two things he

[7:17]

can't do it the only two things he needed were delivered to him by a pandemic now that of course is a reason he's leading in the polls and some of the swing states one imagines that as we get closer that that lead will disappear now my interpretation of Biden's poll numbers are that Biden is still representing a generic Democrat in my opinion people don't yet know who the Democrat will be so they're just sort of keeping that Democrat vote on Idol well let me park my vote with Joe Biden because that's where I wanted to be parked when the new car comes so I don't think you could take anything from the Biden polls except that it's a funny situation so in the bid in the news we saw that Rand Paul was sort of facing off if you want to put it in sort of TV terms against dr. Fauci on the question

[8:17]

terms against dr. Fauci on the question of reopening the economy in schools in particular ouchy of course being a medical professional has a a bias toward making very very sure and I appreciate this about him to make it crystal clear the people understand the risks I think he does that so I would say that how she does a as good a job as you can with the information that's available to let people know there's a real risk and and and I think he's done that well so I won't take that away from them one bit but it must be sad that he has a view of one part of the world but he's not making any claims about the economy or how that will kill people either in other words he's sort of silent on the part of that he's not an expert on which is how many people will die from bad economy and I appreciate that because

[9:19]

economy and I appreciate that because he's not an expert on it but also nobody else is the problem of course the Rand Paul I think was calling how is that if you're only talking about a half the equation you may not get the right answer now I would like to break this down to you with a chart here's the chart that we don't have that we need if you were truly doing a thing called managing with data which would be different than say managing with I don't know guessing or managing with random chance if you were going to manage with data one of the things you would need and fact check me on this if you're gonna manage with data you need data right actual useful data that would be sort of the minimum requirement for managing with data to have data do we have it well the question of when we

[10:22]

have it well the question of when we open up comes down to the two curves the Cova death curve which we hope as already peaked and maybe as plateauing or lowering and then what happens if you close the economy well I would say that for the first several months there isn't that much impact because it takes a while for any kind of a big shock to work its way through the system but the longer you wait this curve is gonna start getting steep and it might get steep kind of quickly I don't know what quickly looks like but it's gonna happen so there's nobody who disagrees that if you waited long enough you'd have at least a risk of the economic downturn being way worse then the Cova desu now here's question am i wrong that that's the only thing we need to know doesn't doesn't all of the data come to this point which is can we tell when the when is the crossover are we already there are we already past it and it's too late are we well before it

[11:24]

and it's too late are we well before it and we can afford to wait a few more months who exactly knows the answer to that question because that's the only date of the matters is that the right date are we there near it past it or what let me summarize this in more earthy tones because sometimes all these complicated charts and graphs well they might not clear things up as much as you want so sometimes you have to put it in clear language so here's leadership by data breaking it down and so the only data we need to know is that crossover what's the best date to go back All Things Considered that's the only thing we need to know also the crossover date is the only thing we don't know all right so it's the only thing we need to know and it is correct me if I'm wrong do some fact checking out here it's the only

[12:25]

fact checking out here it's the only thing we need to know and coincidentally it's the only thing we don't know we don't know it even a little bit we don't have a good idea we don't have a guess we don't have a model we don't have anything that shows us both the coronavirus desk and the economic desk we have idiots arguing in public like they've got some secret knowledge about where that crossover point is you don't know you don't know where the crossover point is nobody knows so what do you do when you don't know well you don't sit at the kids table if you want to be a charge you've got to move to the the adult table at the adult table we can say things like we'd love to measure with data we don't have any data that's useful well we got lots of data is all useless the only thing we need to know is when

[13:25]

the only thing we need to know is when is that date that's the best time to go back to work now it might differ by region of course that's the basic idea and we don't know that do you know why nobody's studying it have you seen a model that shows you the economic deaths on the same chart as the Cova deaths no you haven't seen that model if you haven't seen that it doesn't exist all right just guessing do you want your government to just guess on your life no you don't you don't if somebody is gonna guess about whether I live or die that's gonna be me it's not gonna be doctor foul Qi it's not gonna be Rand Paul as much as I respect them both for their respective service it's gonna be me all right every time I don't delegate that decision they can do their decisions about what they want to do but if I'm gonna guess if I'm gonna live or die

[14:27]

gonna guess if I'm gonna live or die that's up to me that's not up to anybody else so here's the thing why do we let these pretend they're managing leading using data when nothing like that's happening there's nothing like leadership with data that's happening of course you know it makes sense to collect as much as you can and know as much as you can but if the only thing you need to know is that crossover date when to go back to work and we don't know it and we're not gonna know it and there's no way to know it stop acting like this is some rational turn that data that's just not what's happening so what do you do when you don't know you do a Rand Paul suggests who apparently is the only rational person in the whole government because you know it's not like I agree with him on everything he says but when he says here's something you said that I think was completely overlooked in the coverage I saw it in the coverage but

[15:28]

coverage I saw it in the coverage but emphasized which he said that one of the reasons to let the individual locales make their own decisions is because nobody knows what the right decision is so you diversify just like a portfolio if you don't know what stock to buy you buy a bunch of stocks and you hope that the ones that go up compensate for the ones that go down because you don't know do you know why you don't buy if you're a good investor and you're smart and you understand investing do you know why you don't just go out and buy one stock cuz you don't know what's gonna happen to one stock nobody does I mean you can think you do but it's just guessing if anybody could buy one stock and know it was gonna go up the entire financial model would be you know the world would be upside down because nobody can do that so let's uh sorry I just get a little worked up here so what

[16:28]

just get a little worked up here so what Rand Paul says is that you should do the same risk management that you would do if it were a portfolio portfolio you just buy a group of stocks and hope most of them go up Rand Paul says we don't know what to do with these school openings let each of the region's take a shot at it maybe we'll learn something maybe someone will go too far some while work people will die kids will die children will die and still it's the adult decision because we don't know what to do you might as well let people make decisions that are at least closer to their individual situations you know you could maybe talk to your mayor but you probably can't talk to your president or your governor that'd be harder so you got to push these life and death decisions especially when it's children I mean come on do you want your government to decide what children your children live or die now I think some parents might have to say I'm not going to send my kid I mean there might be

[17:29]

to send my kid I mean there might be some tough family decisions but you got to push that decision down to the local level I think especially for the schools so I am on the team Rand Paul 100 but I would note that neither he nor doctor foul Qi know the right answer but Rand Paul suggests the way that you move forward without the data if you don't understand how brilliant that is then you've missed the biggest story the biggest story is that there's one person in the whole world who suggested how to move forward without sufficient data when all the other at the kids table are saying let's wait for some data let's not do something that's too soon and too dangerous how many people have you seen saying we don't want to do it too soon but we don't want to do it wrong just

[18:30]

don't want to do it wrong just stop saying that it's just what everybody's thinking you might as well say oh I've got an idea today let's all breathe air huh st. buddy thought about breathing air it's all over and it looks like it's free let's breathe some air and while we're out at it and breathing air let's let's not go back to work in a dangerous way that's too reckless thanks for all the leadership so Rand Paul gives us the answer which is if you don't know what the right answer is let people make decisions diversify it some are gonna be wrong really wrong and people are gonna die but that's the decisions we have you don't have to be a ghoul to know that's true because people die either way you just got to try it Rand Paul's right all right I also wonder if we've considered this let me

[19:30]

wonder if we've considered this let me just tell us that an idea we're assuming that schools start in in the fall because they always do remember this is coronavirus era and all assumptions are now capable of being challenged is there any reason the school has to start in the fall for example why can't is start in July could school start in July wait for it to wait for it if it were outdoors suppose you put up tents around the school so that you could have some people in classrooms with lots of distance but other people would just be in the tents and also with distance but also outdoors could you move classes outdoors well is still warm because I don't think people are going to be doing a lot of family trips and stuff in the summer you know like as normally it would be the case so is there anything that would prevent us from using the the safety of the outdoors while it's still

[20:32]

safety of the outdoors while it's still warm get going see what it looks like when the weather turns you know when you hit when you get December or not December when he had let's say late September reevaluate you know have we learned anything do we have a new therapeutic are we a month away from the vaccine yeah we'll know something by that so I'll just put that out there is there a compelling reason you couldn't just spread out to campus have some tents teach outdoors and start in July instead of September just put it out there all right let's see looks like a California State University system is already saying that they're not planning to have classes it's a full year or the fall semester and man that's a big one you know there's there's one weird I hate to look at the bright side during a crisis because it just sounds like you're ignoring the bad stuff so without

[21:34]

you're ignoring the bad stuff so without ignoring the bad stuff we all acknowledge that the tragedies everywhere I've noticed something and I wonder if you've noticed it so I do I do leave my home occasionally too to go outdoors that's about it so what I'm outdoors I see other people outdoors in my neighborhood and here's a trend I've noticed adults walking and or jogging or biking with what seemed to be probably college-age kids that are back because of the crisis so what I'm noticing is older children and their adults spending quality time together in a way that I just really never seen normally I mean just the other day watching a what was obviously a dad and a baby I don't nineteen year old daughter or something jogging and I thought how often do does that dad and that 19 year old daughter go jogging together how often do they go

[22:35]

go jogging together how often do they go for a run I don't know there might be something that's happening now because if you say to the the typical teenager let's say take a little 14 year old you say who do you want to hang around with your parents or your friends well no contest right they want their friends they don't want to spend a minute with their parents except for the basics right but now a lot of people sort of had to spend time with their family it was just the only option and if it's your only option you start feeling differently about it and and I'm wondering if this whole coronavirus situation has given people a a new appreciation for their core family because in normal times we're sort of a distributed species meaning you know you can go to school and you go off to your job and you've got all these different support systems you got your government does this for you you know there are the coaches and organizers and stuff so you go through

[23:36]

organizers and stuff so you go through life sort of just depending on this big distributed system that takes care of you in whatever place you are in doing whatever you're doing but then the crisis happens what happens when the crisis hits go home to your family that's it go home to your family get in that house with your family now do you understand your priorities yeah your priority is suddenly crystal clear I mean there were before but we live this life where you know you you don't focus on your priorities they're just sort of taken care of you're not thinking too much about the the family structure you just live in your life and then suddenly the crisis had sudden boom who do you depend on who's gonna be buying you groceries what's not your teacher it's gonna be somebody in that house who's gonna make sure that the lights stay on somebody in that house right so the the value of the family unit in our psychic land map I

[24:39]

family unit in our psychic land map I guess just went way up so in my opinion the value of family probably increased I don't know 50% in how we think about it now one of the things that they've all said on Twitter a while ago I don't know if he came up with it or it was influenced by somebody else but the idea is that the you are the sum of your traumas now I'll be talking about that at some future date because I don't think you're I don't think that's all you are you're the sum of lots of things but your your traumas are a big part of it and the trauma of the coronavirus is going to be a a forming variable for an entire generation so people my age I don't know if I'll be forever changed by it you know at a certain age you don't change your worldview that much but if you're a teenager and you just went

[25:40]

you're a teenager and you just went through the coronavirus situation I do actually think it will change you and I think that you will be changed forever and here's the weird part probably in a good way because this is this is exactly the kind of risk exactly the kind of thing that will toughen people up and give them a more realistic sense of the world they're living in I feel as though this was a tremendous lesson if you will a bad one but a valuable one for a lot of people all right so that's the good news
so here's a question for you you saw the poll that said something like seventy some percent of Republicans think the worst is behind us whereas about 70 some percent of Democrats think the worst is ahead of us so the the Republicans tend

[26:41]

ahead of us so the the Republicans tend to be optimists on at least the coronavirus situation and the Democrats tend to be pessimists but I asked you this question is that always the case I'm wondering I'm wondering how broadly universal it is that Republicans are more optimistic because that has an impact on turnout doesn't it let's say you're a Republican and you say screw the coronavirus I'm gonna go vote I'm not worried but you're a Democrat you're like I don't know might get that coronavirus if I go vote don't you think that there will be some kind of a party difference in just fear literally just how worried are you that if you voted you would die so that's my question I'll bet you could measure that and I'll bet I have a I have a bad feeling that the

[27:42]

I have a I have a bad feeling that the election will be decided entirely by the virus are you feeling that too it feels to me like this next election will not be decided by the people it looks like it's going to be decided by the virus because the virus first of all could take out one of the candidates I mean if we're being honest either by dinner Trump might not be here on election day I mean we have to actually look at that as a serious possibility I think it's you know we'd be talking in the one percent range risk but it's real and then so the corona virus is going to affect how we think about the candidates whether or not we show up to vote which one of them is alive basically it's just not even up to us anymore I believe the corona viruses are new form of government right we used to have this republic democracy thing and now we have a virus which will

[28:43]

thing and now we have a virus which will totally depend on our virus has determined our budget our virus has determined our educational system doesn't exist the virus has broken our you know medical system at the moment hoping that's not permanent you know wiped out the economy the virus is sort of in control yeah it would be a coup for us to win back control of our own country alright I have a little thing I want to do to make you really mad but that's why you come here you come here to be challenged you don't come here for the easy stuff get that everywhere else here's the challenge for you as you know most of my viewers as I know from experience tend to be pro Trump types and anti Obama types and you're thinking to yourself that the news has revealed that President Trump has broken a not Trump the President Obama broke some laws regarding the baby

[29:48]

Obama broke some laws regarding the baby authorization of the investigation of Flynn and then the ongoing work after there was no evidence of any kind of collusion going on that continued so what I'd like to do is I'm going to invite some callers on but I only want a special kind of caller so if you're if you're if you signed up to talk to me for a general reason if you could remove yourself from the list because I only want to pick somebody who wants to do the following I want I will play the part of President Obama and I want you to accuse me of whatever crime you think I've committed and then I want to watch I want you to see how easily I talk you out of it all right so I'm Obama you're gonna accuse me of some specific crime about Flynn or Rush occlusion investigation or unmasking or anything so you can accuse me anything you any law you think I broke and then I'll show

[30:48]

law you think I broke and then I'll show how easily I can defuse it make it go away cuz that's the part you don't want to see right you don't want to see that maybe there's nothing there there might be there by the way if more gets unredacted we might find out there's some smoking gun but we don't have that yet let's see if anybody thinks we do so I'm gonna take somebody who came on more recently just because they're more likely to be on topic all right call her can you hear me what hello are you here to to accuse me of a crime as President Obama mr. president did you surveil the candidate from the opposite party from the adversary party did I no I didn't do any surveillance mr. president did you authorize any surveillance of the opposition candidate no I don't work on that kind of a detail level I did too I did ask Comey and Yates what they

[31:52]

did ask Comey and Yates what they thought in terms of should we treat to slim the same now that we know you might have some Russian suspected Russian affiliation or maybe some affection for them that we don't quite understand so until we get a hold on that I have some questions that's all I have I just had some questions surprise mr. president do you take responsibility for surveillance of the opposition candidate well you know the president always has to take responsibility but that's different than being aware of what they were doing so mr. president you do take responsibility for surveillance of the opposition candidate I always take responsibility for anything that happens in my administration but it is true I was not aware of that and nor would it be normal that I would be aware of the details mr. president do you believe that it is just an fitting and ethical to surveil the opposition candidate and

[32:53]

to surveil the opposition candidate and do you anticipate this will happen in 2020 it's definitely a security and national security concern if we think that there's some foreign interference in our government so in the in the very specific case where there is some credible evidence of right of exterior influence then that would be one case that I'm a special case individually you might want to look at that but in general now you would not want to have a situation where you're surveilling the opposition that would be terrible but if there's some your accusation of treason or something that's a really big deal well you'd have to look at that one-on-one mr.president had you been aware that the opposition candidate was under surveillance would you have stopped it well I don't answer hypotheticals mr. president should we allow surveillance of opposition candidates I in general I

[33:53]

opposition candidates I in general I think it's a terrible idea as I said the only time you would even consider it would be a special case where you thought there was some credible reason that foreign governments were interfering with the country because that risk would be so great that that would be the one time you least consider it
it mr. president you aware the top members of your administration are in privately on transcripts and hearings before the Senate inquiry claimed that there was no evidence of Russian collusion by Trump and yet they publicly declared that there was aware of these two contradictory facts no I don't believe those were facts do you have any recollection that this happened no I didn't see that ever happened I saw their public comments and I and I know what they said in private when they were with me and I didn't say any conflict these statements conflict clapper said

[34:57]

these statements conflict clapper said no the statements don't conflict the news is confusing two different concepts when the people on TV talked about clear evidence of collusion they were talking about things the public actually already knew they knew that the president asked publicly for Russia to give him emails some people say he was kidding some people weren't sure and they know that that the intelligence agencies and I don't have any other information that they don't have say that Russia did some hacking and did some troll activity so we can say for sure that the public has the information that the president asked Russia for help Russia did in fact provide help that certainly gives you cause for a concern and certainly it was worth looking into it is true however that when we looked for direct evidence beyond those things which I do consider direct evidence but beyond them they had not found any but of course that's the purpose of an investigation you don't do an

[35:58]

investigation you don't do an investigation only to find things you do an investigation to find out if there's anything to find and they did not find direct evidence beyond those things I just mentioned go ahead mr. president was there a predicate or probable cause to keep the investigation into Flint open and to further question him I wasn't involved in that level of detail mr. president you were recorded in cats on tape in a hot mic moment muttering to your to the ambassador from Russia I believe that he should inform Vlad that is glad Mir Putin to just wait until after the election when you would have more flexibility what did you mean by that statement isn't that an obvious statement well why would you have why would you be surprised by that all presidents have more flexibility in their second term

[36:58]

more flexibility in their second term and this is a good example of why conversations between leaders should be kept private because there are things you say to set up a relationship or conversation there might be a first offer that you're hoping to negotiate to so it's always a little dangerous to your a you know a snippet of a private conversation you'd have to see the whole context to even know what that meant sky unbelievable you should but but my only point is by the by the way you you you are excellent are you what is your job in real life I there's a journalist for many many years and now I have a healthcare startup based on journalism ok good so I knew you had to have some kind of experience I thought you were gonna say lawyer but journalist same same kind of thing being able to dig down to the right question those are exactly this was perfect I didn't expect that the first person I picked would be that good so thank you you think you

[38:00]

that good so thank you you think you need and you were perfect well so my point is this if you think that we already have enough to you know do a purple walk with Obama we're not even close you're not even in the universe of where Obama is threatened by any of this could it happen dude do it do we smell it do it do we feel it's like it's ah we might be just one more unredacted thing and we're gonna get him but you know could happen I just haven't seen it yet so I just want you for a favor yeah okay go ahead teach me and teach us to do what you were teaching last night to transform our lives with those affirmations about which I'm skeptical but you're an intelligent guy so I'm willing to willing to try anything well if you saw my presentation last night that's that's all you need to get going the second part of that is just try it and see what happens remember it doesn't

[39:00]

and see what happens remember it doesn't cost you anything so if you don't try it you'll never know if you do try well maybe you'll still never know you'll always think that you maybe you got lucky just because you're you're lucky but there's not much else to teach one once you once you see that this is the technique and there's no real way to do it wrong you know I get questions like should I throw away the paper I wrote them on or does it matter if I chant them or sing them or it none of that matters it's simply if you can focus on this goal with whatever technique for 15 minutes a day or whatever it takes that's telling you something it's telling you something about your commitment it it's telling you something about how much you want it and maybe maybe setting your filters in your mind or somehow improving your filter on life we don't know but that's it I'd say give it a shot see what happens and by the way if you if you wanted more on it read my book had a fail at almost everything and

[40:01]

book had a fail at almost everything and still win big that would be the sort of perfect place to see the affirmations in context of how to change your life I'd buy the book and I appreciate your time thank you so much it was a treat Thanks all right well that one hardly how often does does something go that well what were the odds that the very first person I pick would be a you know a professional with experience at asking questions of people like me I mean that was sort of perfect all right did I make my point that if you think you're going to see handcuffs on Obama not based on information we have not based on anything I've seen but it'd still be reported as you know obvious moking gun by the the people want that to be true so I just put that out there don't assume that I want something different than you want I'm just predicting all right spill of burnt almonds your
