Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1443 Scott Adams： Violent Protest Investigation, China is Not Safe For Business

00:00:00.000 Da-da-da-dum. La-da-da-da-da-dum. 0.96

00:00:03.880 Hey, everybody. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:08.380 Sometimes the best part of your day, and sometimes the best part of every day.

00:00:13.600 Yeah. And sometimes it's just the best thing ever.

00:00:17.440 It's hard to decide which it is today, but it's one of those things, for sure.

00:00:21.400 And all you need to guarantee the high quality of the day

00:00:25.080 is a cuppa, mug, or a glass, a tanker, jell-sever, stein, a canteen, jug, or a flask, or a vessel.

00:00:30.000 Of any kind.

00:00:33.020 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:35.000 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:38.720 The dopamine hit of the day.

00:00:39.920 The thing that makes everything better except China. 1.00

00:00:43.560 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go.

00:00:49.640 That one was extra slurpy.

00:00:52.400 I think you enjoyed it.

00:00:56.240 All right. Well, the Rasmussen people,

00:00:58.920 have a new poll out.

00:01:02.460 Very interesting.

00:01:04.180 Very interesting.

00:01:04.980 They say that 66%, so two-thirds of likely U.S. voters,

00:01:11.480 think Congress should investigate last year's violent protests.

00:01:16.520 You know which ones I'm talking about?

00:01:18.560 I'm talking about the, you know, last year there were the BLM and Antifa, mostly.

00:01:23.420 In which more than 2,000 police officers suffered injuries.

00:01:28.960 Did you know it was that high?

00:01:32.160 2,000 police officers were injured?

00:01:37.840 Why is that the first time I've ever seen that statistic?

00:01:42.400 2,000?

00:01:43.240 That's crazy.

00:01:48.200 21% don't think Congress should investigate.

00:01:52.420 And the number of people who want Congress to investigate last year's violent protests,

00:01:58.440 at 66%,

00:02:00.040 is much higher than the 49% who say they want to support Nancy Pelosi's looking into the January 6th capital protests.

00:02:10.980 Let's call those a riot. 0.79

00:02:14.100 And 42% say they don't support looking into January 6th.

00:02:18.040 So, here's a question for you.

00:02:24.280 All those riots last year,

00:02:28.560 did all of their complaints get fixed?

00:02:32.940 Is that why?

00:02:36.340 By the way, for those of you on YouTube,

00:02:39.260 there's a little sign in the back that might be useful to you.

00:02:42.900 It says,

00:02:44.380 Jesus King is.

00:02:46.200 The audio is fine.

00:02:48.040 Yes, Jesus King is.

00:02:50.360 The audio is fine.

00:02:55.060 So, that's interesting,

00:02:57.080 because it seems to me that whatever was driving the protests last year could not have been legitimate.

00:03:02.500 Is there anybody who would disagree with that statement?

00:03:05.200 That whatever was behind the protests last year,

00:03:09.400 it couldn't have been legitimate,

00:03:11.560 because no problems were solved.

00:03:15.160 Am I right?

00:03:16.200 No problems were solved.

00:03:18.040 So, same amount of problem,

00:03:21.420 but no protests.

00:03:24.360 Interesting.

00:03:26.060 Interesting.

00:03:27.620 Well, I would say I would want to look into that.

00:03:29.620 If 2,000 police officers were injured in events that are suspicious and maybe organized,

00:03:38.580 and maybe organized in ways we don't understand.

00:03:40.980 Obviously, they were organized.

00:03:43.000 Well, in other news,

00:03:44.400 the Milwaukee Bucks are the NBA champions for the first time in 50 years.

00:03:50.360 There are two surprising things about that.

00:03:54.320 There are two surprising things about that.

00:03:54.340 Number one.

00:03:59.720 Two surprising things.

00:04:01.560 Number one.

00:04:03.300 Hello, YouTube.

00:04:04.100 Let's see if this works.

00:04:06.280 We had a little technical difficulty before.

00:04:08.560 I'm just going to do one topic on this one.

00:04:11.420 It's about China.

00:04:12.500 And it's based on an unscientific poll that was done by a China file.

00:04:18.520 And they talked to 121 people who were China-connected.

00:04:22.900 There were scholars and journalists and former diplomats, etc.

00:04:25.900 And they asked them if they were likely to visit China after the pandemic restrictions are off.

00:04:33.300 And 40% of them said they probably or definitely would not.

00:04:37.980 And some of them were concerned about the safety, being jailed on trumped-up charges.

00:04:45.360 Some of them were afraid of who knows what.

00:04:48.740 But I would say that the best way to take down China is by the following sentence. 0.98

00:04:57.260 China is not safe for business.

00:05:00.100 Because risk is different in each domain.

00:05:02.900 In the military, risk means something very different.

00:05:06.160 And you might want to take a big risk in the military if there's a big reward.

00:05:09.560 Or you just have to.

00:05:10.920 In your personal life, you might take risks with your hobbies and your extreme sports and stuff.

00:05:17.260 And that's common.

00:05:18.740 People do that in their personal life.

00:05:20.600 But in the domain of business, people don't like risk.

00:05:24.780 Because if you take a risk in business, and it's a risk everybody knows is a risk,

00:05:28.880 it's a well-known risk, and it doesn't go well, what happens?

00:05:34.120 You get fired.

00:05:35.320 Or you look like an idiot.

00:05:37.380 So once it becomes known, or just a standard business phrase,

00:05:42.500 that China is not safe for business in a variety of ways,

00:05:45.260 then that should pretty much put China in a business.

00:05:49.580 It will take a while.

00:05:50.720 But once other countries realize that the risk of IP theft,

00:05:55.020 the risk of imprisonment, the risk of them spying,

00:05:58.440 the risk of them getting access to your communications,

00:06:02.280 it's just not worth doing business in China.

00:06:04.860 Because these risks are so well-known.

00:06:06.980 If you take a risk that's not known, and it doesn't work out,

00:06:12.220 well, you know, nobody's going to fire you for that.

00:06:15.800 You took a risk, it didn't work out, nobody knew.

00:06:18.040 But if you know that working in China is not safe, and it doesn't work out, you get fired.

00:06:28.960 This used to be the case with using IBM equipment.

00:06:34.040 Back a million years ago when I worked in the corporate world,

00:06:37.080 it would be said that if you bought hardware from IBM, you'd never get fired.

00:06:43.200 Because it either works, or IBM comes in and makes it work.

00:06:47.020 But it's always going to work.

00:06:49.440 So you're not going to get fired because it didn't work.

00:06:51.880 IBM will take care of that.

00:06:54.100 Their competition, well, the competition might give you a better price.

00:06:58.460 But you don't know for sure it's going to work, because they're not IBM.

00:07:02.400 That was the thinking back then.

00:07:04.120 Now things probably have changed.

00:07:06.220 But once that becomes a thing,

00:07:10.640 once it becomes known that something has a risk to it,

00:07:14.760 it's really chilling in the business world.

00:07:17.120 And China has gone way beyond the point where you could say that it's safe.

00:07:29.500 So that's the point.

00:07:31.420 I would just like to say one other thing to the people complaining about the audio.

00:07:36.360 Just remember, Jesus King is.

00:07:41.120 The audio is fine, even when it's not.

00:07:44.360 Because sometimes it's not.

00:07:46.160 But I also don't care then.

00:07:48.440 So there's your tip for taking down China. 0.98

00:07:51.180 And I wanted to test to see if the reason I had technical difficulties before

00:07:55.120 was because of the content or because of the technology.

00:08:01.140 So this will be a test of that.

00:08:02.780 So that's how to destroy China.

00:08:06.580 Just make it a well-known fact that China is not safe for business,

00:08:10.500 which is completely true.

00:08:12.560 Completely true.

00:08:13.560 So you don't have to lie about anything.

00:08:15.580 And there you are.

00:08:16.420 There's your kill shot for China. 0.95

00:08:19.200 And China, if you're listening, and I think you might be,

00:08:23.080 you really shouldn't have killed my stepson with fentanyl.

00:08:27.760 You fucked up there.

00:08:29.780 Because I'm coming for you.

00:08:31.060 And if you don't get me first,

00:08:34.060 I'm going to take down your whole fucking country.

00:08:36.780 So China is not safe for business.

00:08:40.200 And that is something you're going to see a lot more of in the next month.

00:08:44.180 And I will talk to you tomorrow.

00:08:46.400 So now let's seeť in the next month.

00:08:51.720 So now let's do it today.

00:08:52.720 We'll see you tomorrow.

00:08:53.540 By X,

00:08:54.040 for example,

00:08:55.640 you're going to join a club toкиna,

00:08:56.480 and maybe you're going to mix on the club.

00:08:57.840 So we've all seen them go and hit it up.

00:09:00.520 Give dock a new club,

00:09:01.960 to see each other running run for a club,

00:09:03.100 and we're going to join to make sure that I've done a film with you.

00:09:06.520 So you may not be interested in it.

00:09:08.520 If we want to do this,

00:09:10.080 put that a little bit better formii free to achieve it,

00:09:11.540 which is the usage of tellement.

00:09:12.020 So I'll show you in this post the techicon.
