Hey everybody, come on in. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams, the best part of your whole day.
00:00:20.840
I'm talking about the entire 24 hours. Yeah, this is it, the best part.
00:00:26.900
Now, I'm not saying the rest of your day will be all downhill.
00:00:33.380
It might get the rest of it to a higher average than it would have been.
00:00:37.600
And all you need to participate, all you need is a what?
00:00:56.340
Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.
00:01:00.060
And join me now for the dopamine hit of the day.
00:01:05.340
It's called this simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:01:18.680
that seems to be effective against coronavirus.
00:01:31.980
As you know, the investigation on the Russia collusion stuff
00:01:37.720
and how that all started, they interviewed, this happened a few days ago,
00:01:48.460
So they were not talking to him as a target of the investigation.
00:01:52.920
However, smart people have clarified the following.
00:01:58.540
There is a reason you save some people for last.
00:02:06.640
The reason you save some people in an investigation,
00:02:16.320
because you found out all the truth from all the other people you've talked to.
00:02:21.180
So if there's somebody that you've decided should be last,
00:02:27.620
that means you've decided that they're in the target zone, shall we say,
00:02:38.960
Because in order to be a target, you'd have to have some evidence against you.
00:02:46.900
the whole point of it was to get evidence against him, apparently,
00:02:56.520
So watch for the clever weasel words around John Brennan
00:03:02.700
because he might be in trouble if he said anything
00:03:06.060
that was conflicting with what they knew to be true.
00:03:15.900
I have to admit I've had a real problem getting interested
00:03:19.420
in the post office scandal or lack of scandal, whatever it is.
00:03:26.340
And the reason is that I've mentioned this before.
00:03:28.920
My father worked for the post office for, I don't know,
00:03:33.460
And I've heard so many post office stories in my life.
00:03:38.340
I don't have room in my brain for another post office story.
00:03:45.000
But for the benefit of the public, I cleared out a little space.
00:03:48.400
I forgot a few things that happened in fourth grade.
00:03:51.120
Just to make room for some more memories of the post office.
00:03:59.200
I've been watching the news and trying to see how long it would take
00:04:02.820
for the news to inform me about the most obvious question.
00:04:07.900
The one that should be at the top of your mind.
00:04:11.540
Which is, why do we think that having fewer postal services,
00:04:19.080
let's say, whether it be post office boxes that have been debunked
00:04:22.540
or removing the sorting devices, which has also been debunked,
00:04:30.220
Those were all long planned activities because there's less mail in general.
00:04:43.580
why is it that low turnout, which is what you might get
00:04:47.540
if you were intentionally trying to degrade the post office
00:05:04.880
So as I understand the argument from the Democrats
00:05:13.460
and that's one of, if not the only way to vote in your area,
00:05:18.460
that you won't vote if you think the mail is not completely dependable,
00:05:30.500
because at least there's a chance it would get delivered.
00:05:37.120
I would say even if there were massive mail fraud,
00:05:49.480
Because massive, you know, imagine if there was a 2% fraud.
00:05:56.500
But there's still a 98% chance your vote gets counted.
00:06:03.120
And you're telling me that Democrats would look at that situation and say,
00:06:12.520
But now I see on CNN there's a 2% chance it might not go through
00:06:32.820
that there might be some risk that their mailed vote wouldn't get counted.
00:06:38.500
But for reasons that are not explained by the fake news,
00:06:43.000
the Republicans have a different opinion of it.
00:06:57.360
Wouldn't you do something that had a 98% chance it helps?
00:07:04.420
I so want to swear, but if I don't give you warning to it,
00:07:07.880
I don't think it's fair, even though I do sometimes.
00:07:13.260
But the belief is that Democrats are so stupid,
00:07:20.180
This is not my external critical opinion of Democrats.
00:07:24.600
I'm describing their own opinion of their own group.
00:07:48.180
because the mail will be picked up from your own mailbox,
00:07:57.680
are they calling their own people really stupid?
00:08:19.180
you know, it doesn't affect every person, of course,
00:08:38.860
It doesn't matter what topic you're looking at.
