Well, it's time, yes it is, for the evening edition of Coffee with L. Scott Adams, because, well, you could have your coffee, but I won't be having it.
00:00:15.440
And it's another sunny, beautiful day here. Exactly the kind of day that your coronavirus doesn't like at all.
00:00:22.880
Well, we don't need the outdoors. We got each other.
00:00:32.240
Let me recommend to you, if you'd like a good laugh, you know the meme maker, Sol, S-O-L, Sol Memes One.
00:00:42.840
Well, she's got a meme of, I'll try to play it for you, well, let me see if I can do it. I'll just play it.
00:00:55.740
This moment reminds us that the presidency is about true leadership, having the forethought to prepare for the worst, and a backbone to lead through chaos.
00:01:08.120
To move beyond politics and serve every American, no matter where they live or what they believe.
00:01:15.840
Only one candidate in this election has all three.
00:01:37.060
And you could watch that one joke for like five minutes at a time and then just loop it and watch it again.
00:01:53.420
I can't think of anything more perfect for Joe Biden than they don't let him campaign.
00:02:01.440
Was the coronavirus designed to get Joe Biden elected?
00:02:10.020
The worst thing that could have happened to Joe Biden is that there was no coronavirus, and he would be out there trying to talk in public.
00:02:22.060
He's actually going up in the polls because nobody sees him doing anything.
00:02:28.340
His strategy is to hide in the basement and not let anybody see him talk until he's president.
00:02:36.240
So, I'm just sort of catching up on this General Flynn stuff.
00:02:43.660
And all of these legal stories, they tend to have too much detail.
00:02:59.180
But it doesn't take you much detail to find out that in the General Flynn story,
00:03:05.500
it looks like the FBI literally just framed him for political reasons.
00:03:12.280
I've been holding out the benefit of a doubt as long as possible, which I like to do in any legal situation.
00:03:22.020
I like to at least try to hold out the benefit of a doubt until the process has worked its magic.
00:03:31.480
I mean, you know, Kavanaugh was obviously not guilty.
00:03:42.400
Because it seems we have enough information now that's been released that apparently the FBI is thoroughly corrupt.
00:03:49.500
You know, I know I'm going to regret saying this, but I'll say it anyway.
00:03:57.560
You know, we've been saying for like three years, I think, we've been saying the same mantra.
00:04:03.580
You know, well, there are a few rotten apples at the top of the FBI, but the rank and file,
00:04:09.620
you know, the people doing the work, you know, they're good patriots and everything.
00:04:18.720
Which doesn't mean that, you know, obviously, it doesn't mean all people at FBI are bad.
00:04:25.180
But the people at the top, at least, you know, far enough down that we're involved in this Papadopoulos stuff
00:04:32.800
and the General Flynn stuff, all of this stuff, were just completely crooked.
00:04:44.200
And it's not my fault that that reflects badly on the entire organization.
00:04:52.320
So I'm going to have to stop saying, well, there are only some bad eggs at the top,
00:05:01.020
I don't know that the bad eggs are only at the top.
00:05:04.460
Why would bad eggs, coincidentally, be all at the top?
00:05:10.740
I'd like to believe that that's the only place it's rotten.
00:05:14.340
But I guess I have to suspend my disbelief at this point and say, I don't know.
00:05:20.880
Maybe if you have that much power, maybe you're all corrupt.
00:05:27.640
Of course, I'm highly biased because I'm watching the Waco documentary.
00:05:45.080
Whatever the problems are with the FBI, it doesn't look new.
00:05:47.500
So, this is a gigantic story that's just sort of hidden by the coronavirus, but it's amazing.
00:05:56.880
If you take that plus the Russiagate, I'm still not buying into deep state as a term.
00:06:04.640
You know, I've said from the beginning, I could easily believe lots of individuals did individual things.
00:06:12.140
I could easily believe that some of them talked to each other.
00:06:15.620
But, you know, not some great organized conspiracy.
00:06:22.000
I would have to say at this point, it is demonstrated to be true and corrupting the country.
00:06:27.980
And Trump came in and just ruined all their stuff.
00:06:32.540
So, I would be super, super disappointed if there are not lengthy jail terms for most of the top of the FBI at this point.
00:06:47.420
Do you have any confidence in Christopher Wray that we're finding this stuff out now?
00:06:54.900
You know, I hate to be the guy who says it should have been done sooner, because that applies to just everything.
00:06:59.900
But we've got some questions for Christopher Wray.
00:07:06.240
I was asked on Twitter to give some recommendations on how one would do civil disobedience in the current situation.
00:07:15.760
Let's say you decided to ignore the guidelines, or wanted to ignore them.
00:07:28.500
There's only one thing you can do, which is if somebody opens a store, go to it.
00:07:34.820
But I don't think people are going to be opening many stores.
00:07:41.420
The authorities will probably close them down pretty quickly.
00:08:01.600
The question was, how would you do civil disobedience?
00:08:05.440
I'm telling you how to do it if you want to do it.
00:08:09.840
Now, in California, we just heard that, in my county and others,
00:08:15.860
that we're going to be locked down until the end of May.
00:08:19.600
Okay, so I'm going to be in this house for five more weeks.
00:08:29.980
Do you think I'm going to adhere to the guidelines for five more weeks?
00:08:42.940
I will trust other people will make their own decisions as well.
00:08:45.880
But I will make my decisions based on what I determine is good for society and for me and my loved ones.
00:08:57.400
But I would say we can't really trust the authorities at this point.
00:09:02.800
Pretty much everybody in power has disappointed us.
00:09:06.200
So I'd say you don't want to ignore what they say,
00:09:10.340
but you don't want to necessarily believe it either.
00:09:13.120
And I think we've just got to make our own decisions at this point.
00:09:26.420
I spent a great deal of time debunking this video,
00:09:37.480
that the one doctor especially is saying that according to the data that he can see,
00:09:43.920
that it doesn't make sense that we're closed down and it was overblown and we should basically go back to work.
00:09:50.280
And our civil liberties are being curtailed for not a good reason.
00:09:54.060
Now, I spent a good amount of time completely debunking that.
00:09:59.120
It looked like the guy, the doctor, didn't know how to compare things,
00:10:02.640
using the wrong numbers, extrapolating the wrong way,
00:10:06.160
ignoring gigantic facts that really matter like they don't matter.
00:10:11.020
So it was the least credible thing I've ever seen.
00:10:32.200
First of all, you'll all be calling for me to debate with Tucker,
00:10:53.760
by my own work and some other people who joined in
00:11:39.540
the numbers show that it's time to go back to work.
00:12:13.860
And I noticed that other people saw it as well.
00:13:45.680
as much as you've wanted anything in your life.
00:14:08.120
so these new doctors have some new information.
00:14:12.380
Is this the time that the information is accurate?
00:14:48.380
are the experts who are seeing the whole field?
00:46:20.980
that have some real promise, and probably 20 or
00:47:16.880
large organizations in which people are putting
00:48:12.480
yeah, yeah, we'll throw the toothpaste at it to
00:49:06.540
the seasonal flu that kills hundreds of thousands
00:49:10.320
Like, why is it just this year that suddenly there
00:49:15.280
We didn't have 30 things that were worth testing
00:49:19.380
So, that's what makes me suspect that most of them
00:49:29.980
I don't know what that means in the vaccine world.
00:49:35.800
I'm not sure if it means anything in that world.
00:50:04.520
terrible world, so maybe those doctors have been
00:50:31.200
And apparently, people rarely die and rarely need
00:50:44.240
But in other places, in other places, half of the people are
00:50:49.180
And in other places, none of them are, or almost none.
00:50:53.200
Why is it that in some places, people are getting off the ventilator,
00:50:56.420
at least half of them, and in other places, hardly ever?
00:51:06.000
Cannula is the word for the thing that goes up your nose.
00:51:16.520
Thanks to all the people who were telling me that.
00:51:22.620
It's enough for tonight, and it's enough for now.
00:51:26.820
That could be a word to now, just because it isn't.
00:51:33.100
All right, that's all for now, and I will talk to you later.
