On today's show, Scott Adams talks about the Trump military parade, No King's Day, and why it's called that. Plus, Waymo shuts down service in a part of Los Angeles where the No King s Day event will be taking place.
00:00:17.760Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:27.800And you've probably never had a better time, but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that no one can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, well, for that, you're going to need a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or tine, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of a kind.
00:05:11.300But apparently, for No King's Day, the idea is that it's sort of a protest movement to Trump's military parade.
00:05:22.200Because a military parade makes the Democrats think of dictators, which makes them think of kings, which makes them want to say, No King's.
00:05:35.160So, it's an anti-Trump sort of national event.
00:05:41.240Apparently, Waymo has announced that they will not be serving the area where the No King's will be having their day in Los Angeles.
00:05:53.200Instead, they're going to shut down service.
00:05:56.960So, instead of ordering a Waymo, there's going to be Waymo walking than they expected.
00:06:31.580I bet the intelligence came long enough to know a PSYOP when I see one.
00:06:36.900The No King's protests aren't spontaneous.
00:06:40.000They're part of a broader strategy to undermine President Trump's administration.
00:06:46.100The NGOs involved, Indivisible, Churla, Union, Del Barrio, and others, are part of a network of nearly 200 organizations, many of which have ties to the Democratic Party's activist wing.
00:07:02.000He says the FBI is sniffing around with Director Cash Patel probing the funding behind the recent anti-ice riots in L.A.
00:07:26.220Now, so that's General Flynn, who knows what he's talking about, believes that the protests are meant to destabilize the country.
00:07:38.060They're not really, you know, an anti-Trump per se.
00:07:41.580I told you the other day that Chris Cuomo, he believes that China is behind the funding of the anti-immigration stuff anyway, and maybe this too.

00:10:27.480Well, all the protests will be overshadowed by whatever happens in Israel and Iran.
00:10:35.560And as you know, probably by now, Israel is still going after Iranian nuclear and military, well, missile sites in particular, but military sites.
00:10:51.760And I've got an open question because one of the stories about this war, which may or may not be 100% true, is that Mossad does this super clever trick.
00:11:10.640We don't know the details, to get the generals to go to the same room and stay in that room long enough for a missile to go through the wall and kill all of them.
00:11:22.280Now, the part they're not telling us is how do they get them all to go to the same room when obviously they would know that might be dangerous.
00:11:34.640And it didn't involve AI because we're sort of that place.
00:11:44.760Imagine, if you will, that the first thing that Israel does is shuts down whatever private, secure communication the generals had.
00:11:59.140So let's say, you know, the first thing they do is just shut that down.
00:12:03.860But they don't turn off their cell phones.
00:23:07.740Also, this is still from the Wall Street Journal, the top, top, top nuclear engineer is still alive.
00:23:20.300So, apparently, there's some MIT-educated nuclear engineer who is the head of it all who is successfully alive so far.
00:23:32.520So, if Israel stopped today, there would be two nuclear facilities that we don't know much about because they're deep underground.
00:23:43.520And the head of all of it would still be alive.
00:23:49.880So, how long would it take them to reconstitute?
00:23:53.480But, on the plus side for Israel, Iran would know by now that its entire national security structure has been penetrated by Mossad.
00:24:15.720So, if you were Iran, you couldn't trust anyone because the, I'm assuming that all the assets that Israel has that allows them to do all the internal stuff that they're doing in Iran,
00:24:34.020like smuggling in missiles and stuff like that, or smuggling in drones as part of their attack.
00:26:10.200I guess we're getting away with that sort of.
00:26:13.240Meanwhile, I told you this before, but John Fetterman, Senator Fetterman, he's calling for the U.S. to supply, quote, anything Israel needs for their attack or their war, I guess.
00:26:30.520So, Fetterman is more staunchly for Israel than just about anybody else.
00:26:39.120Now, does that include bunker buster bombers?
00:26:42.880Would Fetterman be in favor of the U.S. joining with not only our bunker busters, but flying, you know, because our own pilots would have to fly the bombers?
00:27:28.500No, Iran does not want America to be more involved in the war because we have more offensive weapons than Israel does.
00:27:37.980Does America want us to be more involved in the war?
00:27:44.620Well, some do, but I would think that by a majority, Americans would not want to be involved or more involved because we're, you know, at the very least, we're helping them shoot down missiles.
00:28:00.620So, I don't think America or Iran would like it, but you're probably thinking to yourself, well, Israel obviously would like it.
00:28:10.900You know, if America joined in a full force way, but I'm not sure because Israel has shown itself so capable that with the one exception of can they get to that underground stuff?
00:28:28.400You know, do they really have a way to do it within our direct help?
00:28:31.720If they can, then wouldn't even Israel be better off if the United States stays out of it?
00:28:39.220Because if you're Israel, don't you want to send a credible threat to, you know, future threats?
00:28:53.300In other words, there might be a future where Iran is once again a threat.
00:28:59.860Do you want them to think, oh, America will stop them from attacking?
00:29:05.700You know, they're America's little puppy.
00:29:08.680They can't put up an attack unless America says yes and America's, you know, balking at it.
00:29:14.300But I think Israel is better off if it looks like they could make their own decisions free of American constraints and if they have enough military might that they don't need any American help whatsoever.
00:29:31.660They can absolutely dominate Iran without any American direct help, you know, except shooting down a few missiles.
00:29:40.920So, I would argue that we're in a weird situation where there is no country on Earth that benefits by the U.S. getting more dragged into the war.
00:29:56.300I think both sides would say, yeah, maybe stay out.
00:30:01.300Just, you know, again, I'm speculating because I can't read the minds of the Israeli leadership.
00:30:08.600But it kind of looks like, you know, if you would ask Israel before they started bombing, do you want America involved?
00:30:20.780They might have said yes because, you know, it looked like a stronger force.
00:30:25.780But now that they've been so successful without our direct, allegedly, direct involvement, at this point, I feel like they would say, you know what, we can take care of this.
00:30:42.880So, it could be nobody wants us to be more involved, which would be good.
00:30:47.640However, Iranian officials, according to Just the News, they are saying that the U.S. should be held, quote, fully accountable for the recent escalations because we're a, quote, backer of Israel.
00:31:09.440So, we're going to get blamed either way, but will we be attacked, which is the important thing.
00:31:21.580At the moment, there's some kind of cyber attack that's making some of the shelves empty at Whole Foods, but we don't know who the attacker is.
00:31:32.580It could be just some blackmail attacker.
00:31:35.680So, we're not seeing any obvious attack by Iran on American assets at the moment, but that might happen because Iran has threatened to hit some military bases within reach.
00:31:54.400So, Mossad allegedly smuggled in all these exploding drones into Iran.
00:32:26.060So, MSNBC is even sort of touting that success.
00:32:32.320And I told you before that whenever Israel does a military event of any kind, that there's immediately, immediately, there's some story of amazing competence.
00:32:46.720Like, oh, my God, how did they pull that off?
00:32:50.080And that took a lot of planning, and that sure was smart.
00:32:54.000They made those pagers explode or whatever it was.
00:32:57.360So, the legend that's being formed now is that the Mossad smuggled in a bunch of drones so that they were local when the shooting started so that the drones didn't have to go too far to destroy some, I think, the air defenses.
00:34:14.100You know, were there a bunch of Israeli Mossad agents who were somehow within Iran and were doing all this stuff with these explosive drones, and then they got away?
00:34:29.940Or were they Iranian citizens that had been co-opted to do this one way or the other?
00:34:44.300And then on X, Dana Republican is asking this question that others are asking too.
00:34:53.680The post-millennial is asking it as well.
00:34:56.900So after seeing what these Mossad agents did, because they could get the drones right next to the assets that were going to attack,
00:35:08.460why are we allowing China to own farmland next to our military bases in the United States?
00:35:16.480Because it seems like we're putting ourselves at the same risk that Iran was, which is if China has figured out how to get a bunch of drones
00:35:28.160that they're hiding on the farmland that's right next to our military bases,
00:35:35.160you know, is that a risk that we can take?
00:35:39.080Well, there's a map that I see on X all the time.
00:35:46.600It shows these fairly enormous Chinese land holdings in all the various states.
00:35:56.540And I wonder if that's to scale, because if that's to scale, it's really frightening.
00:36:04.100But if it's not, you know, it might be a totally illegitimate graph.
