hey everybody come on in here it's time for coffee with scott adams that's me and this will be yeah one of the highlights of your day maybe the best part of your day probably the best part of your day all right it's the best part of your day come on you know it is and to get it going we'll do the simultaneous sip and all it takes is a copper mug or a glass of tanker chalice or stein the canteen jugger flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous hip and it happens now go
along with my iq and my sex appeal you could probably feel the same thing

[1:13]

you could probably feel the same thing at home speaking of being a new person i've talked about this before but i i just i'm blown away by it it's sort of a personal thing but it has a larger meaning so i'm preparing for some sinus surgery and part of that is i'm on prednisone for the
the third or fourth time this year to try to clear up the the sinuses and it works in fact my uh my ability to smell just came back like two minutes ago so every time i go through one of these cycles i can i can smell again for the first time in years but it doesn't last however here's the the finding the prednisone gives me probably takes 25 years off of my effective age meaning that uh with just this little bit of prednisone which is being used for completely different purposes my body doesn't get tired i am full of energy and love of life

[2:17]

am full of energy and love of life i can speak better i can exercise longer i'm probably 25 stronger i mean it's not even close i i could go to the gym and actually watch muscle development in 48 hours it's crazy it's crazy now so far i haven't had any anger issues from the bread the zone maybe that'll come later but now you can't do the prednisone for long periods because it has some negative side effects but the fact that it can change me by 25 years and it and it activates in just a day it makes me wonder how close we are to something that doesn't have side effects is there is there any way to get there or is it just there's an impossibility that if it's going to make you feel good it's going to kill you somehow is that always the case because yeah it's it's a steroid somebody's saying and it's not healthy to do it in the long run but i only do

[3:19]

to do it in the long run but i only do it for short bits and yeah riding faster on my bike i can walk for hours and no soreness no stiffness it's just like being you know a kid again it's amazing but anyway just the fact that that's even possible really makes you wonder you know what could happen with with senior citizens i mean you could give an 80 year old this drug and they could pretty much you know live like a 60 year old i think yeah if they if they had their mental faculties all right let's talk about some other things that are not me uh post well okay a little bit more about me a pollster called me last night and i couldn't remember if i've ever been called by a political pollster so at least now we know that they call now they call them my cell phone it's the only one i have and their first question was you know they introduced themselves but their first question was am i registered to vote now i wasn't thinking clearly because i

[4:20]

now i wasn't thinking clearly because i should have said yes i'm registered to vote so that then i could lie on the poll itself but they rejected me for not being a registered voter now was there any chance that if i had been a registered voter is there any chance i would have told them the truth none not only is there no chance i would have told them the truth i didn't even consider it it wasn't even my option set there was no point at which i said to myself uh should i say maybe i like trump a little bit better as president nope not not even a little bit was i tempted to tell the truth i wasn't tempted to tell the truth that's how far away it is because normally you know i i've got a a pretty strong you know bias toward telling the truth unless i'm going to die or something you know unless you're literally protecting somebody's life or income or there's something big on the line i don't like lying at

[5:22]

big on the line i don't like lying at all
all i mean i hate it it's it's something i try to avoid as much as possible it never works out you know even if you try to lie it never works it just that's my experience so i wouldn't lie in almost any situation but i definitely would have lied to the pollster because that's a security safety kind of a thing and certainly that would be morally acceptable in my view um there was article uh joel pollock in breitbart today talking about joe biden who will not disavow the protesters who are also the violent ones and this puts them in the category of saying that the all the people at the at the riots are fine people which is turn turn about is fair play now
now what is the difference or is there between the people who said to president trump when he said there were some fine

[6:22]

trump when he said there were some fine people in charlottesville at the confederate statue and and the neo-nazi march and the president said well you know i'm paraphrasing but they're not all neo-nazis some of them were just there because of the statues and they're fine people but what's the difference between that at which point somebody's not somebody lots of people said well you can't be a fine person if you're at the same event with the neo-nazis it just can't happen well of course it can happen because we're a big diverse country where any big gathering has lots of different people so of course they could be there of course it would be weird to not have counter protesters in america you pretty much always expect that so but the point is how can the democrats how can joe biden say that it's okay to march with the people who are literally rioting literally antifa literally want to burn down the courthouse

[7:23]

down the courthouse literally want to get rid of police hurt the police literally want to overthrow the country are literally bad so but those people who are marching with them and obviously giving them a boost they're they're not they're not doing something wrong feels like at this point the people who just wanted to get the message out are kind of done aren't they is it raise your hand has anybody not heard black lives matter has anybody not heard that is there anybody who needs to get their mind changed more on that topic probably not we're probably as persuaded as we're going to be and there really isn't much of anybody on the other side there's nobody arguing for
for black lives not mattering nobody's arguing that and nobody's even saying we won't look at a proposal nobody's even saying we're closed off to how to improve nothing

[8:24]

how to improve nothing so what is the purpose of the further protests if the message is completely received and i'd say it is it's completely received why are they protesting well you have to ask yourself if it's more about the bad element being the driving force and it's starting to look like that now the interesting thing about this and of course in our world everything comes back to trump one way or another is that every day these protests go on i'm pretty sure is good day for trump now it might not feel like that yet but it's one of those things that the longer it goes the different it looks when a when a protest or a riot first starts you say to yourself well it's unfortunate about that the rioting and the looting but there was certainly a good reason for the protest so you can kind of excuse it in the early days but once we've heard all the message and there's not much pushback about the

[9:25]

there's not much pushback about the general idea of let's not have the police kill people that don't need to be killed you know that sort of thing you know racism could it be better could we improve the schools opened all that but
i i think trump is just going to get stronger every day these go on because the original message will dim in importance and all you're going to see is it just looks like trouble now the interesting part is that so far trump is only using his federal forces the department of homeland security i think in just one place defending a federal building in portland they're on call for seattle and other places too i think but they're just on call and their job is to protect federal assets apparently this is being turned into by people like the lincoln project and rick wilson who's he's got some real explaining to do i think rick wilson has some explaining to do in his life but that's just that's his problem you may know know of some of his

[10:25]

you may know know of some of his troubles um but they're trying to turn it into that these are secret police with secret badges and it's a trump secret police and i'm trying to figure out where that will rank on the list of trump hoaxes you know that the top one would be russia collusion then i'd say the other 10th poll would be the fine people hoax there's the he suggested ingesting actual household disinfectant hoax the hoax list is pretty long at this point but i wonder where the secret police hoax will be i think it'll be in the top four possibly a top four
and now the media is trying to turn it into the trump is causing the riots by allowing the department of homeland security to protect a federal building and that's causing a riot because they look like secret police yeah they're not but they look that way

[11:28]

they're not but they look that way um have you noticed a lot of women getting their asses kicked in these riots and on video every day i go to twitter it's the first thing i do is i look at all the you know the new andy no videos etc and it feels like have women become a lot more aggressive recently is anybody noticing this and i can't tell if what's happening is that women feel they won't be killed because that's generally true right if a woman gets in a fight she doesn't usually get killed but if a man gets in the fight there's a pretty good chance one of them one of you is going to end up dead so i feel like women are just getting well somebody said the chubby ones in the comments i wasn't going to say that but you can't not notice it it's impossible not to notice that the women who are getting the fights they tend to be larger and maybe that's part of why they're braver they just have more

[12:29]

why they're braver they just have more mass to put against it that's not a universal truth we just watched a skinny white woman get roughed up by the police on video yesterday but she was yelling in their faces and provoking them so they finally just took her down but i haven't seen anything like this this is the angriest most violent group of women i've ever seen anywhere i don't think i've even seen another country with so many women getting into violent fights every day at least on video so it may be overstated because the video makes you think it's everywhere but it isn't all right uh what else we got going on this is the biggest story that gets no attention and it's mind-blowing to watch the biggest stories be ignored while the smallest stories become the story the smallest story is that the police sometimes kill somebody or somebody dies in their you know during the arrest phase

[13:32]

during the arrest phase but it's so small i mean it's in terms of number of people affected even if you count the families of the people who died it's still a small number compared to just about every other problem so we we're we're sort of an upside down world where we're making the biggest story out of the smallest story but here's the biggest story apparently the united states policy against about china has changed to regime change what so mike pompeo apparently says it directly that regime change is is now the new uh policy so we went from trying to work a deal with china to finding out that we can't that they their mindset is such that they only want an abusive deal or apparently no deal at all so it looks like no deal at all is where it's going to head but pompeo was just going at it directly and saying no we're our goal is a regime change in

[14:34]

we're our goal is a regime change in china now can the united states get that done now
now i don't believe that that means you know supporting a revolution or anything i can't see that working in china but it probably does mean not not dealing with china as a country it probably does mean moving our facilities out it probably does mean putting up more obstacles than we ever were it probably does mean putting more naval assets in the contested areas etc so this is a really big story it's by far the most important thing that's happening i would say more important than climate change more more important than everything more important than coronavirus more important you know the economy i guess you could say is the most important thing but it's way up there and you won't see much about that today i'll bet there'll be an ignored story speaking of ignored stories jonathan turley you know of him a constitutional lawyer type

[15:37]

a constitutional lawyer type and he's writing in the hill how he's astonished that the media is just ignoring the fact that the obama administration did make up
up an excuse to spy on the trump campaign and
and we're trying to figure out why this isn't the biggest story in the country is it just because it's about trump and that it would be good for trump because it would vindicate him for when he said that his wires were being tapped which you know not technically true in the terms of tapping but but true enough i mean basically he correctly called out that his campaign was being spied on and that was just true now i tried to figure out why this story isn't getting the traction it should it got a lot of traction on you know the fox news and the right but it just didn't cross over it just never became a narrative on the other the mainstream media and i have a few theories why the

[16:38]

and i have a few theories why the obvious one is that the media can't admit that they sold us a hoax for three years or whatever it was so the media doesn't want to point out their own wrongness they don't want to support trump so that might be the entire reason but the other reason is this it's kind of complicated and even though even when i think i understand it even just reading jonathan turley's article i'll find four things i didn't know or i used to know and i forgot so it's just this big complicated thing of why did somebody talk to somebody what did carter page you know what did they have to do with was he a cia agent did he work with him what did russia do where was the dossier just way too many people involved way too many people so i think because it's complicated and because it dripped out you know a little fact little fact little fact it just never got traction so part of it

[17:38]

it just never got traction so part of it is that it dribbled out so it lost all of its energy by dribbling the others as complicated so we wouldn't understand it if if we saw the details and then of course they just don't want to make trump look good on predict it and other betting platforms kamala harris just got a big upswing no explanation is given but she's now had 39 chance of winning at least according to the people betting if you're going to look at predictive markets doesn't the stock market tell you that trump is going to win it feels like it right unless there's going to be some giant plot to tank the stock market right before the election which is possible so do not be surprised if the stock market takes a serious dump between now and november but it might be politically motivated so could be real maybe you know maybe the economic outlook won't look that good

[18:40]

economic outlook won't look that good and it'll just be a natural decline which wouldn't be wouldn't be the worst thing in the world and it wouldn't be unexpected actually but at the moment the stock market captures the economy obviously it captures our optimism on it but i also think that the stock market at the moment is capturing coronavirus so if you look at the biggest things that the president has to do is stuff like you know trade deals with china and coronavirus and the economy and the stock market kind of captures all of that because they're all interconnected and it's high it went down a little bit last few days but it basically is high so isn't that predicting that trump will win
win um just a question there so i keep seeing this graph by a user named gummy bear now gummy bear was recommended to me as being a good

[19:42]

was recommended to me as being a good credible source on the corona iris stuff now gummy bear is obviously a pseudo name for someone who apparently has some kind of credentials i don't know what kind but they're the good kind because the twitter feed has lots of credible looking good analysis according to people who have been following him so i started following gummy bear and there's one graph that gummy bear has posted a number of times and it's really persuasive super persuasive if if you're a nerd like i am about a data visualization it's just really good it's like thrillingly well designed just to give you information but i don't know if it's accurate so i don't know if the data is right i just know that the way it's presented was great and what it was is it just ranked all the countries their death rate by how they used a hydroxychloroquine

[20:43]

by how they used a hydroxychloroquine if they had used it early according to the graph which has some credibility questions that's what i'm going to get to it would show that the people who didn't the countries that didn't use hydroxychloroquine early have all these problems the ones that did use it you know in a modest way have half as many problems and those who used it aggressively have practically no problems and so i put it out there and i had to tweet and say
say can somebody tell me if this is accurate because if it is accurate we're done right we're done
somebody says it's fake why are you arguing um so i put it out there to let other people pick it apart and sure enough some people said well you know i'm looking at the graph but i'm looking at this country and it's in the wrong place or it doesn't capture it right somebody says i doubt such data is available i also didn't see a date on it so it might have been

[21:43]

might have been you know over a month ago when things look different so somebody says why not research it yourself let me answer that question so somebody said why not research it myself that's the dumbest question in the world and i i have to be blunt everybody who thinks that they are capable of researching this themselves you're just kidding yourself even the experts can't do it if the experts could research this stuff they would all agree right if what you could do is use your expertise and dig into it a little bit the people with expertise would be on the same side but you don't notice you don't see anything like that happening what you see is the experts digging in and coming to completely different conclusions so if you think you can do what the experts clearly can't do because they're not coming to the same conclusions why do you think i can do it why would you suggest that i would be able to do this thing that literally no one in the world can

[22:43]

that literally no one in the world can do
do it's just undoable now you could think you did it and you can do your research and you can come to a conclusion but you would be talking yourself into it you would be talking yourself into stupidity basically because confirmation bias is going to look just like it i mentioned the the michael jackson allegations about you know pedophilia and now i've seen three different pieces of video content one made a case that said oh definitely he's guilty no doubt about it i watch another and you look at it you go oh wow it's all like it's all a con none of it was true i watched another one yesterday that added more fuel to the none of it was true fire so i did my research right i looked into the whole michael jackson situation and what happened i couldn't tell a thing i mean if i if i had to be in a jury based on what i saw i would say

[23:45]

based on what i saw i would say definitely not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt i mean it's way beyond reasonable doubt you know reasonable doubt is just this thin sliver of well maybe maybe he's not guilty the michael jackson thing is mostly reasonable now it's like 95 reasonable doubt five percent chance maybe something happened and there just didn't have to happen to be any evidence so i use that as an example of how doing your own research doesn't do you a bit of good it really doesn't it's it's a complete um it's complete illusion and that probably has to do some with our
our with our belief that we can do more than we can do somebody says interview dr zelenko terrible idea terrible idea whoever is saying in the comments and i don't mean to pick on you as but you could not be less helpful than to suggest that i

[24:45]

less helpful than to suggest that i interview one expert i've said this before but it sounds like i have to say it again it is a disservice to the audience for someone who can't ask the right questions to interview an expert because all you're going to hear is his his side of it you're going to hear one side of the you know the michael jackson story it's always convincing if you hear one side it's the same reason i won't talk to dr shiva on this topic because dr shiva will say technical things and then i'll say i don't know and then you will have been you will have gotten this unfiltered opinion that you know there's another opinion on the other side but you didn't hear it right now somebody says i'm in the comments that dr drew did a periscope with zelenko now that's how you do it if i actually i like to look for that if if a doctor is interviewing a doctor and the doctor doing the interviewing has a broad

[25:45]

doing the interviewing has a broad experience enough to ask the right questions that's exactly what you should read but don't ask me to bring one expert on on a medical or scientific thing unless i have some background so i don't mind bringing somebody on and say a nuclear energy question because i've done enough reading where i can at least ask the right questions thanks to mark schneider and michael sheldenberger who have educated me a little bit enough to ask the right questions all right so and and i'm sorry if i make a big deal about that the bringing the one expert on but that's the biggest problem in the world right now the biggest problem in the world is that people still believe that if they hear one expert that they learn something and that is so not true if you had one if you've only heard one expert you have probably been misled probably not every time

[26:47]

boris johnson is doing something awesome you know one of the problems with being a leader is that the most important things you can do will sometimes be the most boring and they don't get you any attention and they don't get you reelected so i'm gonna give a big big big shout out
out and props thumbs up to boris johnson for just this i'm i don't have a comment on boris johnson's entire political career but just this he's going to make a big big deal about weight loss using himself as an example so you know he had his coronavirus scare and it's worse for people who have weight problems apparently and i think that might have been a wake-up call he'd wanted to lose weight anyway but now he's getting serious about it and he's going to go he goes for a run every day changing his diet and i can't think of anything that would be
be more directly beneficial to the country than having the leader promote good fitness and exercise it's really

[27:47]

good fitness and exercise it's really important and i guess in great bread and the obesity level is just out of control and the way boris johnson is selling it is exactly right it's he's selling it as a way to protect uk's national health system boom there you are if if you said to people you should lose weight for your own benefit well people say i'll figure out what my benefit is you know i don't need boris johnson telling me what to do with my personal life you just run the government boris i'll decide if i eat a cheesesteak but the way so he's not doing it that way so he's not saying this will be good for you if you lose weight he's saying this is how you lower costs basically this is how you make a national health service possible i would say that president trump is missing the biggest opportunity with health care because there is a republican plan it just hasn't been put together so i

[28:49]

it just hasn't been put together so i guess you could say it's not a plan but if you looked at all the individual things that the trump administration wants to do for health care you know such as the executive orders on pharmaceutical costs lowering meds costs etc there's a whole bunch of individual things that will make things more competitive could bring the prices down such as making it possible to do telehealth uh over the internet across state lines you know these little changes in the regulatory environment can have a big impact but one of the things that trump could do which i guess it would be hard for him to do because he's got a few pounds himself is to do what boris johnson's doing and just say if you want if you want more people to have health care then the people who already have health care maybe they should lose some weight because if the people who already had health care well plus the people who don't you could say the whole public if the whole public of the united states simply became more fit they just lost weight got a

[29:51]

more fit they just lost weight got a little more exercise what would that do to the total cost of health care service well if you've had an opportunity to go to
to a doctor's waiting room or emergency room is there something that you notice not so much an emergency room because those would be accidents but let's say you go to a normal doctor's waiting room back when you could be in a room with other people and you sit down and look at the other people in the room how many of them have a weight problem a lot a lot what would be the total cost reduction in health care if people got healthier it could be a lot 10 you know a 10 percent reduction in health care just by getting people healthier that's enormous dollar wise so but i'm not sure trump is quite the right guy for that message unless he was going to you know lead by doing it the way boris johnson is so i'm sorry weight loss is the most boring political question but that's my point

[30:53]

question but that's my point it's the most important and it's the most directly beneficial to people's lives a plus boris johnson all right
it seems like we're going to be treated to a constant drip of stories about sports teams and whether or not they all kneeled is there anything you're less interested in lately do you remember when that was first a story oh these athletes some of them are kneeling kaepernick he's disrespecting our flag and all that but now when they're all kneeling or some or close to all and it's all the teams it just lost all of its everything didn't it it doesn't have any shock value it just looks sort of weak and pathetic and which has nothing to do by the way with the cause so when i say it looks weak and pathetic that has nothing to do with the the cause has only to do with the way they're doing it um

[31:53]

the way they're doing it um there's a news story that doesn't deserve to be a news story that joe biden turned down fox news's chris wallace for an interview now as you know chris wallace did interview president trump and you know gave him a pretty tough interview one would imagine that chris wallace would be a tough interview with joe biden and so they turned it down but is the news that chris wallace was turned down for an interview is that the news isn't the news that just biden doesn't talk to anybody i don't think has anything to do with chris wallace is there anybody on the fox news network who could get biden to come on the air and answer questions there's nobody who could do that has nothing to do with chris wallace but it turned into a chris wallace story i know because it makes it look worse for biden or something but i don't know how it can look any worse than i'm not going to have a debate and i'm not going to answer questions i should tell you everything you need to know there

[32:54]

oh i keep forgetting to talk about president trump's latest name for the coronavirus so he's calling it the china virus now you recall that when he was calling it the chinese virus people were saying a racist you racist don't call it chinese because then chinese americans will you know be be mocked for it even though they have nothing to do with it and indeed that looks like that actually was happening which is tragic but now he's going from chinese virus to china virus and it's very clever because you think there's something wrong with it still but there isn't when he said chinese you could say to yourself wait a minute chinese would refer to maybe it came from china but it also the word refers to the people and we're not really talking about the people we should be talking about the the government or the place and but when he changes it to china that is

[33:54]

is unambiguously about the place you could you could argue it's also about the government but what it definitely isn't is about the people so that's an upgrade but what's clever about the upgrade is because china and chinese are close enough in your mind it still feels inappropriate but it isn't because now it's just a description of where it came from just like other flues that are named after the place that they came from so i love the fact that he took something that really wasn't the right way to go about it chinese it just wasn't the right word but you fixed it you tweaked it you tweaked it to china and now people are going to be just as angry about it but they don't have a reason because china is a different word all right
the best thing that could happen for trump's re-election chances are for other countries

[34:54]

chances are for other countries to have bad infections uh that pop back up
up and it feels guaranteed doesn't it isn't it sort of guaranteed that other countries are going to have flare-ups even the ones that are doing well i feel like it's guaranteed and it should be guaranteed just because the world still has travel so no matter how good your little country of estonia does if you're surrounded by people that have well let's say even one of those countries still have it well you're going to get it back and if you get it back isn't it going to flare again before you can get on top of it
it so the probably the biggest factor in trump's reelection will be coronavirus and how people feel he did with it and that will be almost entirely based on what other countries do because if he looks like he's just in the middle of the pack and other countries are having problems then then you're going to have to say to yourself it looks like leadership didn't

[35:55]

yourself it looks like leadership didn't matter it will actually look like leadership didn't matter because you'll see all these different leaders who did different things and none of them had a great result and some that did you don't know why here's what's confusing about all this these are the candidates for why some countries may or may not have had better results and look at how many factors there are there's better mass compliance now experts will argue whether that even makes any difference i'm on the side of saying it's obviously it obviously does uh social distancing that has a little to do with lifestyle but you know are some countries better at it what's your vitamin d levels um how much diabetes do you have in the country which is gets to age and demographics uh the hydroxychloroquine use does it matter don't know yet it's still uncertain tuberculosis shots that's another factor apparently there's some correlation

[36:56]

apparently there's some correlation if you've had tuberculosis shots you have more immunity i think and then there's some news today about there's some genetic variant that some people have that might make them far more susceptible so look at all these things that are like big big variables and we don't know how important any of them are listen to these again and realize that we don't know anything about any of them and they're the biggest variables we don't know if the masks make a big difference a little difference people are still arguing you know i have my opinion but people are arguing social distancing i don't know can you really tell that another country did it better how do you compare it's hard to compare how much is enough how much is too much vitamin d i don't know diabetes looks like 40 or 50 percent of the people i think 50 of the people under a certain age are dying with diabetes as a comorbidity

[37:57]

are dying with diabetes as a comorbidity comorbidity when we look at the experience of other countries are we seeing other countries with the same rates of diabetes the same demographics now same hydroqual hydroxychloroquine use no tuberculosis shots no genetic variants i don't know are they different than different groups so
so we will never know if trump did a good job or a bad job in all likelihood we'll probably never know so if we never know if he's doing a good job or a bad job because there's just too many variables to know which ones matter and then you've got the therapeutics and you've got the vaccines maybe you're maybe not coming online i would say that we'll we'll have enough room for everybody to have their own opinion but the one thing that's the most solid argument for trump if it happens is that other countries got into trouble and we're just somewhere in the middle of the pack if it turns out that we're just somewhere in the middle
