In this episode of Coffee with Scott Adams, Scott Adams is joined by a special guest to talk about a bunch of news stories, including the discovery that scientists have figured out how to control the minds of mice using a magnetic field, and a story about how Biden accidentally calls himself a former president.
00:09:25.280If a Republican candidate is up by two, that's a landslide because Republicans can win when they lose the popular vote because they just need to win in the states that matter.
00:09:38.380And so I thought, well, I'll just Google the what's the current polling situation for the swing states.
00:11:13.180Well, I guess you've been paying attention.
00:11:14.600When it comes to the election stuff, I don't trust the Wall Street Journal because Wall Street Journal is owned by somebody who has a preference.
00:11:23.980Now, they might be good on business stuff.
00:11:26.340I think they are usually good in business stuff.
00:11:28.340But when it gets right down to the race, you know, when it's who's going to win the next election, I'm not sure that there are any news entities you could totally trust.
00:11:37.400Because everybody's sort of everybody's a player at this point.
00:15:48.040Harris has a gigantic deficit in policy.
00:15:51.460Because if you took the top five things the country cares about, Trump has a dominant polling lead in all of them.
00:15:59.480So if you can't talk policy and win, because the country doesn't like your policies, and by the way, you'd better hide them because they're so unpopular,
00:16:06.860you get into a fight about what's weird or what's dark.
00:16:58.980And then the men started thinking, well, I don't want to be called weird by women because women decide who gets to mate.
00:17:10.940And you don't want to be one of those people who's ruled out because you're weird.
00:17:14.960So your mating instinct is completely activated by that word, meaning that you don't want to be called weird because it would look like you're not worth mating with.

00:18:22.380Why settle for less when you can go for the gold at Golden Nugget Online Casino?
00:18:56.100Because Republicans successfully took the Trump assassination attempt, and even though we don't have a direct connection to what the shooter was thinking,
00:19:06.120it is a reasonable, completely reasonable assumption that the Hitler persuasion is the reason Trump was number one on this crazy guy's target list.
00:19:16.200And once you see how dangerous and reckless Democrats have been, to the point where your candidate could get shot, did get shot,
00:19:27.140then you think they have gone way too far.
00:19:29.960They cannot be trusted with any power whatsoever.
00:19:32.420And that was going to be a real winning message from Republicans, that you've gone too far, all you do is try to scare us with your bullshit, and then we're going to get shot.
00:20:52.840And when you look at Venezuela and you look at, you know, countries that are going full DEI and have unfettered immigration, that's some scary shit.
00:21:03.200But the things that Democrats are doing to the country and want to do to the country do look like the end of civilization to me.
00:21:10.800I mean, genuinely, they're promoting processes that take merit out of the system and make identity the leading thing.
00:21:21.600I don't know how that could end except the complete destruction of the country, mass starvation and violence in the streets.
00:21:29.680Now, I'm hoping that it doesn't get to that because the system won't embrace those crazy ideas.
00:21:36.660But if they did, it would be literally you're all dead.
00:21:41.280I mean, it's that's the size of the risk.
00:21:43.240So I think Trump has the fear of persuasion because I am genuinely afraid of what the Democrats could do with more power.
00:22:32.380So I think that the Democrats have embraced the fact that it's the girls against the boys and that the Democrat Party is the party of women.
00:22:42.060And it's the batshit crazy women against the people they call weird.
00:22:48.520So I think also women had the problem that they have a very high level of mental illness.
00:22:56.140And that really comes across with a lot of their most vocal persuaders.
00:23:01.740Whenever you see one of the Democrat women do an individual video that they made holding their phone and they're mad about Republicans, they look actually just mentally ill.
00:23:17.080They don't look like they have different opinions.
00:23:32.620There are already, of course, compilation videos of all of the people in the news suddenly using the word weird because, you know, the memo goes out.
00:25:42.380And it's so sickening to watch them lie to their audience.
00:25:46.940I don't think they're lying to me because their their game is too obvious.
00:25:50.360But watching them lie about how spontaneously they came up with that word is really creepy.
00:25:57.280So while it might be true that they think Republicans are weird, because everything's weird, because everybody is unique, they've got a creepy problem.
00:26:14.200But even if Republicans are weird, they're not that creepy.
00:31:32.660So, every time you use the word communism, you are not engaged in persuasion.
00:31:38.240It's something that Republicans sort of understand what you're talking about.
00:31:42.740But as soon as it crosses over, and by the way, I learned this from Michael Ian Black, that when he hears communism, he just sort of shakes it off.
00:31:50.480It's like, it's obviously not communism.
00:31:52.900And then you say, well, we don't like income redistribution.
00:31:56.960And then he says, you mean like taxes?
00:33:12.360I'm not saying it doesn't suggest, you know, a lot of communist looking things.
00:33:17.060And I'm not suggesting they're not influenced by it.
00:33:20.180I'm just saying it doesn't work when you complain about it.
00:33:22.680It's like the word doesn't mean anything in modern politics.
00:33:29.420Anyway, so continuing with Charlie Kirk's list of Kamala Harris' extreme left policies.
00:33:35.620Race-based reparations payments, trillions for the Green New Deal, pack the Supreme Court, defund the police, cashless bail, even for violent offenders.
00:34:27.240And we're influenced by how things feel.
00:34:29.580So suddenly this Venezuela election happens, and what we feel is it looks just like the 2020 election in America to a lot of people, right?
00:34:41.200Now, you can argue the details, but I'm just saying how it feels and how it looks to a lot of people.
00:34:49.020Meaning Republicans say, wait, we think our election in 2020 was obviously stolen.
00:34:55.460The Venezuelans believed that their election was obviously stolen.
00:35:01.900And so apparently they're forming mobs of what Democrats would call insurrectionists to go try to overthrow the government.
00:35:12.320Now, it's an insurrection if they know they lost.
00:35:17.240If the crowd knew they lost fair and square and they still got together and tried to topple the government, well, that would be an insurrection.
00:35:26.340Successful or not, it would be an attempted insurrection.
00:35:29.220But suppose they were positive that the election had been rigged.
00:35:50.480In America, nobody gave a fuck what the January 6th people were thinking, which was the only thing that mattered.
00:35:57.600Ask yourself, how many interviews have you seen on MSNBC or CNN where they took somebody who went to the protest on January 6th and say, tell us what you were thinking?
00:36:07.940Were you thinking that you lost the election, but you wanted to take over the country and install Trump as a dictator?
00:36:14.340And people would look at you and say, what?
00:36:21.140No, if he lost fair and square, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
00:36:25.100To me, this is what a January 6th who would say.
00:36:28.340To me, it looks like it's obvious the election was rigged and we want to delay it so that it could be looked into to avoid a coup.
00:36:37.960Because we think a coup just happened.
00:36:41.440Now, all I'm pointing out is that when you're watching the Venezuela experiment, you're going to find a lot of parallels and your brain will not be able to reject those parallels because stories and stories just fit together.
00:36:54.700Like one story is just going to look too much like the other story.
00:39:00.680So I think that the Americans are going to get a little wake-up call that trusting our justice system is a little ridiculous at this point.
00:39:10.340Because we do know that the reason people want to change the Supreme Court, you know, Joe Biden's ideas for reform, are because they don't think the court is viable or credible.
00:39:23.660And it's just because they didn't get their way.
00:39:26.820So whoever's not getting their way is going to think the courts are not credible.
00:39:30.000So both sides basically think the courts are not credible in the United States for the political stuff.
00:40:08.980So anyway, that should make a difference in the American minds of what is likely to happen in our election and even what did happen in 2020.
00:40:19.780But you want to make this interesting?
00:40:24.360Let's make this Venezuela situation interesting.
