Scott Adams talks Iran, the midterms, and whether or not he thinks Hunter's laptop is actually a laptop. Plus, he talks about what it's like to be pregnant, and why he doesn't think he's going to be a dad.
00:00:27.440But if you'd like to take it up a notch, all you do is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice of dine, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:35.620Why don't you put your different liquid into it?
00:00:40.860And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:01:09.360Somebody's going to do a simultaneous binger?
00:01:12.520Is that like a, well, I can't even imagine.
00:01:14.560Well, according to Rasmussen, Republicans have an 11-point lead against a generic Democrat on the congressional ballot, with only 235 days left before the midterms.
00:01:28.920And if the election were held today, 50% of likely U.S. voters would vote for the Republican, while only 39% would vote for the Democrat.
00:01:40.120Does that tell you that the Republicans are going to win everything?
00:01:44.260The trouble with this kind of a survey is that while it accurately captures what people are thinking, it doesn't accurately capture how they act.
00:01:54.700Because how they act is they say, yeah, all these politicians are terrible.
00:02:02.960But all those other ones in the other states, they're bad.
00:02:06.060So as long as people vote for their own incumbent, which they typically do, I don't know that it's going to make that much difference that there's a big generic lead.
00:02:17.060Because nobody votes for a generic candidate.
00:02:21.560So I'm going to say this is highly encouraging for Republicans, but I don't think it's predictive in sort of a straight line.
00:02:31.080I mean, you could have individual match-ups that are more important than the generic feeling of things.
00:02:37.460If all the candidates who run are, you know, the best Democrat candidate against a second-tier quality Republican, then the Democrats would win everything.
00:02:49.060I don't think the polls are going to tell you that.
00:02:52.440Well, apparently the U.S. is getting close to announcing some kind of Iran deal, which the experts say is worse than the last one.
00:03:13.200But I don't think we know anything about it.
00:03:17.120The Iran deal isn't going to be another one of those big confusing black boxes where everybody will think they know something about it, but they don't.
00:03:24.940They don't know what's going to happen.
