[Music] hey everybody hey bill good to see you everybody come on in it's time it's time for coffee with scott adams you may have some other things to do because this is sunday maybe church related things but keep your priorities straight it's time for coffee with scott adams and all you need is a copper mug or a glass of tanker gels or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other day the thing that makes everything better except apparently the riots but we'll work on that it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now
now go
well let's start with the good news the good news is that the trump campaign now has a navy and an air force did you see the uh

[1:11]

and an air force did you see the uh trump boat parade that's a lot of boats and amazingly uh they found a way to have a gigantic event that did not clog the streets so good for them i would be really worried if i were a joe biden supporter and i couldn't find so much as a lawn sign for joe biden the the only kinetic energy that joe biden is creating in terms of people moving their bodies their arms and legs or
or or a vehicle moving in some way the only actual motion created by biden is antifa and and uh the blm riots and stuff so biden biden is creating riots trump is inspiring boat parades and the polling is still close what kind of a weird country is this

[2:15]

so um the funniest thing that happened and of course we're at that point where we're laughing at tragedy of other people because that's the kind of people we are did you see the new anti-fun dance move it doesn't have a name yet i think it might be called something like the molotov or possibly hot feet but it involves i can't do it because i can't stand up on camera here but it involves catching one foot on fire and then sort of cross stepping until you jump on the ground and then roll back and forth in the ground and then sometimes sometimes your brilliant helpers will try to put out the fire with and here's the best part if you're going to put on a fire on somebody's leg while they're writhing and rolling on the ground there are some tools that are better than other tools if you saw the video i'm referring to on social media of the anti-fog person dancing with their leg

[3:15]

anti-fog person dancing with their leg on fire you know that one of the helpful friends tried to help put it out with what looked like the top of a garbage bale now the top of a garbage pail just so you can picture this is largely flat-ish except for you know its edges and probably one way to not put down a fire on something that's an irregular size and flailing like a leg is to put a flat metal object and keep keep pounding on it so that the people who have better ideas can't get there so i don't know what was funnier the guy with his leg on fire or with a guy or the guy who was helping
i've watched that thing like 10 times and every time i just can't stop looking at the guy with the garbage the garbage pail lid it was just not

[4:17]

the garbage pail lid it was just not helping he's not helping at all [Laughter] i shouldn't be laughing at this so cruel so it looks like the hashtag biden riots is is catching on i just used it before i it came on and there were i think 470 uses of biden riots in the last i don't know hour or whatever do you think that's enough to make it trend
you know know you know i'm gonna make a video with that dance move later you know that's coming uh so i i don't know if this is happening but it looks like the whoever's in charge of what trends is trying pretty hard to make biden riots not trend it looks like there might be some manual intervention but i can't say that for sure but a lot

[5:17]

but i can't say that for sure but a lot of people are using that hashtag and it's not going anywhere it doesn't show up in the trending all right um i last night i registered to vote that doesn't sound like a big deal to you but the last time i registered to vote i don't remember because as you as you know i famously don't vote because it would make me biased now i'm already biased so probably doesn't hurt in this case but
but normally i wouldn't have bothered because i yeah i live in california it just doesn't seem to make that much difference my one vote and i'm happy that other people vote makes the system feel like it's credible but i'm only voting for self-defense i mean actually literally self-defense i i don't mean that as a joke i'm not being sarcastic it's actually just purely safety because when you look at the what's

[6:18]

because when you look at the what's happening with the with the biden riots uh it looks like it could get out of control i don't think it will but it looks like it could certainly has that potential so here's a little uh psychological uh question for you this has more to do with psychology than whether it's practical suppose suppose there was some state who wanted to end the the protests and suppose this state said hey we've got a lot of land we're not using why don't you just make your perfect society on this land that we're not using you can do anything you want form your own government run it just the way you want to just don't involve us because here's the thing nobody is really stopping anybody from living the way they want to live are we is there anybody in antifa who can't go and just sort of live the way they want to live

[7:19]

to live and if we are stopping them from living the way they want to live well we should stop doing that why not let them have whatever they want just just don't do it around us the only requirement i have is why do you have to do it with my stuff why can't you just go live your life with your stuff i'll live my life separately with my stuff you live with your stuff why can't we both be happy just be separate and here i'm not talking about black lives matter i'm talking about antifa in particular i'm talking about people who want a different system why don't we give it to them or why don't we really mess up their heads and offer it to them because you know what they don't want they don't want to run anything they don't want to be in charge antifa doesn't want to be in charge of anything i say we round them up and put them on some kind of an anti-far reservation and just say hey guys this is all yours

[8:20]

and just say hey guys this is all yours you have all the freedom in the world call it whatever you want make up your own set of rules we just don't want to be involved we only want to be away from you that's all we want we don't want you to be different we don't want you to change we just don't want to be around it that's all now i think there's enough space in the country because the the total number of antifa is not that big you know if you added them all together a few thousand put them on a reservation and and say look if you can get somebody to send you free food you don't even have to work we're not going to send you free food but if you can find people who will good for you and you don't need to spread your revolution to us because anybody who would rather live in a non-capitalist non-democratic society they'll have an option they can go live in the mud and disease with the rest of you it seems like a good idea now of course

[9:22]

it seems like a good idea now of course it's completely non-practical wouldn't happen in the real world but the beauty of it is the mental part of that what if you gave them what they were asking for right is sort of like the dog chase in the car don't you have that feeling about the the riots the biden riots that if they got everything they wanted they sure wouldn't be happy about it so why don't you why don't we create a picture in their heads of them getting what they want because it's a well-known trick of persuasion that if you can make somebody think through to the future and it's a bad future or a good future depending on which way you're trying to persuade that that imagined future will affect their decisions today so rather than let them live with some idea of an ideal antifa where everything's good and we've all got food and health care and things are great why don't we say look you can build your own chas or chop or whatever you want

[10:24]

own chas or chop or whatever you want it'll be totally legal we're just we just don't want to have anything to do with you we just want to have no contact with you whatsoever that's all that's all we're asking no contact and let them do their thing but you could draw you could you could force them to imagine what that would be like until they didn't want it anymore you know what i mean because right now they're just imagining some collection of things which might be better it's not really a coherent image of the future they don't have one so why not give them one
one why not give them the gift of imagining their own future accurately that would be a good gift and just say it's going to be here so you can imagine what it will be now imagine how much fun you'll have with your no money you know police and you know healthcare because that's what you're that's what you're trying to give all of us why don't we give to you what you are

[11:26]

why don't we give to you what you are trying to gift to us the gift of no no modern society the gift of no law enforcement the gift of
of fear every time you walk outside why can't we give that back to you this is our gift to you you can have all this land now again it's more of a mental trick because you want them to imagine what what happened if they got what they wanted what would it look like maybe you wouldn't like you so much um watching the video from the binding riots last night in portland the fireworks stuff is just really weird because i can get that the fireworks are you know mostly non-deadly non-lethal and you know mostly it's just to create noise and you know maybe brush the police back if that's what they're doing with the fireworks but it looks like literally a pretend war zone literally pretending to have a war using fireworks and

[12:27]

fireworks and non-lethal stuff instead of lethal stuff it is the weirdest pretend situation um that you've ever seen all right
are we done with the atlantic uh stuff i feel like that didn't even last 48 hours the whole president trump uh was mean to the troops now i guess is one of those situations where you don't even need to talk about whether it happened or didn't because it doesn't matter it doesn't matter if the president ever said those words or didn't because his supporters will think he did not say them for the most part his detractors will say he did say them and it doesn't matter if he did it actually doesn't matter the literal literally the reality of whether it happened or didn't happen no difference doesn't matter at all it's the the truth of it is not even a variable here

[13:27]

variable here which is weird um i think that we've discovered a new form of energy um and this is this is brand new this is only this week if you haven't heard about this it's a pretty big deal and the way it works is um that they they hook a generator around the lifeless body of steve jobs and then as steve jobs spins in his grave why assume he is i mean that's just a safe assumption as he spins in his grave they put magnets on his body and the spinning of steve jobs body in the grave against the you know against the other magnets and the generator creates energy and as his widow squanders his money on propaganda for the biden riot's inspiration one imagines what steve jobs would have thought of this situation in which his widow

[14:28]

situation in which his widow is using the money he created over his lifetime to support rioting and possibly a civil war in the united states oh yeah steve jobs must be so happy about what happened to his money after he left but on the good side it's generating a lot of electricity so lorraine laureen laureen jobs you have completely uh destroyed his legacy and so i guess he didn't see that coming
um so there's more reporting on that reinhold guy the the guy who shot the trump well i guess he would be a police supporter a blue lives supporter and uh the new video shows that he was actually lying in wait and it looked like it was just organized uh it completely obliterates his his alibi before he was killed by the police and obliterates his alibi

[15:28]

by the police and obliterates his alibi that he it was some kind of self-defense thing it was obviously just he laid in wait and uh he was it was just a planned hit uh now add that because that was clearly a case and people have been saying this on social media that was clearly a case of a trump supporter being haunted there's no there's no other word that fits right because he wasn't robbed it wasn't self-defense it wasn't heat of the moment he was identified tracked if he will you know kind of kind of knew where he was they set up the kill point it was organized he was hunted is that word not accurate we also saw a video of some of the walk away people brendan stracha and carlin carlin who's last name on black guy on right now and they were showing the video of being followed by the anti-fog people and basically being chased away

[16:30]

people and basically being chased away at great personal risk did it look like they were being hunted it did it looked like live video of trump supporters being haunted in public right out right there on the street and being chased away now it looked pretty seriously dangerous so i don't recommend anybody get near those protests if i feel like that's a bad idea for your safety
if you would like to do a simulation of what it would like to live in a abide in
in future i have a little exercise you can do
do now normally it would be difficult to imagine yourself in the future you know at least accurately but i think this is a little a little exercise that i created in which you would be able to experience today fully just a full experience today of exactly what the future would be like should biden win and the anti-fog blm people get their way and here's how you can

[17:31]

get their way and here's how you can simulate it today you what you do is you would gather up all of your possessions and maybe put them on a carpet in one place douse them with gasoline set them on fire while everything that you've owned in your life and have worked for is is on fire you want to use that time to punch yourself as hard as you can until you pass out now once you've passed out and i can't guarantee this last part but you know fingers crossed if you do everything right some nfl team will put your name on a helmet for being in a sense a hero if you will so that's how you would experience the biden future but today um all right what is the uh oh then trump is getting provocative but he'll totally be able to get away with this so as you know he already canceled within the government

[18:33]

already canceled within the government training on critical race theory so the federal government just can't do that anymore it's considered un-american and against everything that we care about
but the question remains i think jack passable was asking this on twitter does that include the military is the military included in trump's ban of the critical race theory training don't know i'd like to know that but just to pile on a little bit more apparently trump is considering and i think tom cotton likes this idea he's promote he's he's got some kind of legislation on it that the federal government is considering defunding or not funding schools that teach the 1619 project which would be california schools to start with i guess there's some of them now the 1619 project is the

[19:33]

now the 1619 project is the was it the new york new york magazine project in which they sort of reframe the history of the united states through a uh slavery is the most important filter kind of a lens and critics say that that is not an accurate view i'm not a historian so i'm not going to weigh in on what's accurate or not about that but i don't think that the president could have gotten away with this so easily if not for the biden riots so if you're wondering what the biden riots have bought so far what they've bought so far is much worse feelings about race for sure the end of reparations as a conversation that's not going to happen certainly it will get rid of these 16 19 projects in schools probably get rid of critical race theory in at least in the government if not corporations so i would say the biden riots are so

[20:35]

so i would say the biden riots are so far getting them everything they didn't want to get in other words it's caused already a it made it easy for trump to get rid of the 1619 project if he succeeds from the school system and it made it easy for trump to say get rid of critical race theory because the biden riots have so spoiled that um let's say that the philosophical purity of any of that message to the extent it ever had philosophical purity but now it's completely gone you know the
the the credibility of the movement is completely depleted at this point so the president can do that whereas maybe before it would have been politically impossible at this point it's just easy um
there's a story about one of the black lives matter protesters who's facing a felony charge for rioting um i saw was a uh and somebody who was actually literally smashing windows

[21:37]

actually literally smashing windows is a wealthy uh upper east sider a 20 year old so whose mother is an architect and her father is a child psychiatrist so clara crabber aged 20 she was one of eight people arrested for a hundred thousand dollars in damage on foley square
her her father is a child psychiatrist now if you're a child psychologist and your child who is raised in privilege joins antifa gets arrested breaking windows downtown could it be said that you're the best child psychiatrist in the world well you might actually be because i'm not sure that child psychiatrists are that effective in other words it doesn't change somebody's life you know reliably i'm sure it's useful but uh he couldn't he didn't have enough power to change

[22:38]

he didn't have enough power to change his own kid's life and i'm not making fun of him because i don't think just being a child psychiatrist gives you superpowers you can't can't change somebody who's really dead set on being some other person but uh that's not really good for his uh
that will not be not look good on his yelp reviews if you know what i mean okay i shouldn't laugh about that uh here's a question for you what what backup plan do we have we meaning the citizens of this country if the local governments and therefore law enforcement abandon us so what happens if the if the mobs just grow in power because the police and law enforcement just don't have the support of the local governments and they also don't call in the feds and uh kurt schlichter had a really good article in town hall i think about why it's not really practical to call in

[23:39]

really practical to call in federal forces let's say the national guard unless the city is welcoming welcoming them and giving them the the backup that they need for example if your federal forces came in and arrested a bunch of people well where do those people go once they're arrested they sort of need to work with the local governments to put them in local jails and
and process them locally etc but if you don't have the local support you can't really do anything with outside forces very well you would have to like send in a whole army to get it done because you need all the logistics to come with the forces if you don't have logistics in other words how do you feed them how do they go to the bathroom and all that stuff where do they get their supplies if you don't have all that you got to bring it with you so it's not really easy for the federal government to just say we'll just bring a zillion people in and take care of it it's a big big operation and not to be taken lightly

[24:39]

lightly so what happens if law enforcement just gives up and the let's say the anti-farm mobs start spreading into the suburbs what do you do so at this point it's just an open question but there's part of a suggestion embedded in this we probably need to have a shadow government that's ready to go at least in the gov in the guerrilla warf warfare sense so something that is not anti-us government but rather an augmentation to it something that would protect it if it can't protect itself which is the idea of the militia of course but our militias are local and they're not really coordinated as far as i know who would be the leaders of such a counter-counter revolution you know who what kind of structure would you have if the citizens wanted to push back against antifa

[25:40]

against antifa and they had no police or government muscle to help them how would they do it well i would suggest that we should start thinking about forming an actual structure so that there would be at a minimum there would be communication so that you could organize and here here's why it's important um correct me if i'm wrong here here's just a fact check fact check do the protesters in portland do they have a camp do they have like a base camp with tents i think they do right can somebody fact check me on that i might be confusing seattle or something with portland but i feel as if these protesters go somewhere to sleep and they probably don't stay at hotels and they're probably not all local so is there not a physical tent city somewhere that they all go to when they're resting up for the next riot because it seems to me that the people

[26:40]

because it seems to me that the people who wanted to be the the resistance to the resistance if you will should know where that is and if you had enough people who were let's say resistant to the resistors they would just mass near that that tent area and just walk through as a gigantic mass of people and just dismantle it and you wouldn't even necessarily have any any violence because if you had enough people the others are going to back up right if you add ten to one in numbers they're not going to defend their tents very long you know a little bit of pushing and they're going to be gone so suppose you just swept through and just took every every one of their possessions suppose you grabbed them and stripped them like actually stripped their clothes off and they just released them and you took every article of their clothing all right down to their socks you just grab them hold them strip them and release them and you take of course that would be you would be

[27:40]

of course that would be you would be getting their hidden guns and weapons and stuff and everything but you wouldn't be you wouldn't be arresting them you would effectively be only hurting their merchandise their merchandise would be the clothes that they're wearing right so you would just give back to them what they gave to you which is a purely material fight because antifa is mostly uh trying to destroy goods and storefronts and buildings and stuff like that they are they have you know there have been humans who have died but that's not their primary thrust they are trying to destroy stuff so if there was a reaction to the reaction if you will a counter revolution to the revolution shouldn't we also consider going after their stuff so get rid of their tents grab them and hold them strip them of all their clothing and goods and then just release them somebody would immediately give them a coat you know you wouldn't have to worry about the nudity or anything or maybe you only do

[28:42]

nudity or anything or maybe you only do it to the men you know if if you're if you're trying to uh let's see do the least damage let's say you just did it to the men you know don't don't be stripping the women on the street that's a different situation but just strip them in completely strip them and then just release them
so if anybody tried that without massive numbers there would just be bloodshed so don't try this there are some ideas that you shouldn't do at all until you have a ten to one physical advantage and then you can do anything you want and somebody says turn off their cell phones yeah that would be a way to go somebody says i'm not touching them right you know you'd have to wear gloves and a spit hood i guess um their merchandise is provided for them okay just keep taking it away and as long as it's stuff for stuff it's hard to get

[29:43]

hard to get you're not going to get any more punish than they are and the beauty is that antifa might be destroying things that would be um you know felonies because it has a big dollar value but if you simply took somebody's clothing what's that is that even much of a crime small misdemeanor maybe no i guess it would be the physical part so it'd still be probably a felony anyway uh put trump stickers on their cars there's an excellent idea uh identify all the anti-fog vehicles and put trump stickers bumper stickers on
so here's my point it would be a bad bad bad idea to do anything like that any kind of citizens moving against antifa unless the citizens had organized to the point where they had massive numbers just such massive numbers that even the law enforcement couldn't do a thing now if you've got massive numbers you can kind of do anything you want but

[30:43]

you can kind of do anything you want but short of massive numbers don't do anything i would say just wait and see how things are developing but shouldn't we at least organize should we not know exactly who's in charge of the counter counter revolution and again we should stay completely legal because what i'm suggesting is protecting the united states not overthrowing it and i'm suggesting returning to law and order not having less of it so we shouldn't do anything that's illegal but couldn't you organize would it not be completely legal to organize effectively a neighborhood watch but for the whole country how hard would it be
all right um yeah and i don't know what's happening with the the ricoh laws i'm guessing that there's a lot happening behind the scenes in terms of looking for leaders and arresting them and such

[31:44]

my computer is starting to come to life and make noise i don't know what's up with that all right um there's not much else happening so i'm going to keep it uh keep it short today spray them red somebody says you know in let me turn this off
you know i used to be a bank teller and we used to have these uh exploding money packs if you got robbed you would try to give them one of the packs of money that has exploding dye in it and what it would do is they would just coat the the bank robber with this blue ink so they couldn't blend into the background it'd just be obvious that they just robbed the bank there might be something like that there might be a way to tag antifa but i wouldn't use paintball guns apparently that causes trouble
um solving problems is a good discussion

[32:45]

solving problems is a good discussion yeah the one thing that i think we can all agree is that none of these uh none of these riots are about solving problems would you agree because in order for antifa or black lives matter to solve the problem the minimum require whatever problems they're trying to solve the minimum requirement would be that they had some kind of a leadership that they recognized and therefore could negotiate on their behalf and that leadership would narrow down all the things that could be asked for to some group of things that might be possible and then they would find somebody to negotiate with because there's money there might be laws it might be things that need to be changed and then they would get busy doing that now they might do it at the same time the protests are going on as part of the pressure but if you don't see that if you don't see a leader who has specific demands and is authorized to negotiate you're not seeing

[33:45]

not seeing black lives matter that's not what's going on you're not seeing antifa trying to make the world a better place there's nothing like that is pure destruction unless they have something they're asking for if if you just have individuals you know somebody says well i'm sort of on this side of black lives matter or write an article saying the things that i think would be good and then somebody else writes another article with some overlap but different things that would be good that's nothing until you have somebody in charge who can negotiate for all of you
you you don't really have anything it's just a bunch of people destroying stuff so it would be a mistake to see this as some kind of a political move that's trying to improve the lives of the people involved it's nothing like that because it would look completely different if that were the intention i think it's mostly just anger and lots of different motives that came together

[34:49]

so those somebody said they had to refollow me yeah yeah the social media manipulation will probably get extreme in the next next several weeks um and isn't it imagine isn't it amazing that we can just talk about it out loud nobody doubts it's happening and here what i'm talking about is the the fact that people get unfollowed automatically on twitter now i don't know if it's only people who are associated with trump i just don't know if other people are being unfollowed but the fact that it even happens at all and it's happening massively and all the time how in the world are we still putting up with that or at least don't know why it's happening you know some more specific answer about why it's happening how is that okay but we just get used to anything
all right that's all i got for now and i will talk to you tomorrow
