Back to episode — Episode 1220 Scott Adams - Good News on COVID-19, Biden Warned us About Himself, Historians Screwed

that kind of judge, probably you needed Trump to have — if Trump had not gotten elected against all odds, all of those positions would have gone the other way. And that's a pretty big deal if you like that kind of judge. And I would argue that even Trump's wall design for the wall with the border of Mexico, that even if Biden says he doesn't like it and doesn't want to build a wall, he's a little…

But is that your only problem? I don't think that's your only problem. Now even if you could imagine that he was smart enough not to let any state secrets get to any civilian, it shouldn't matter whether it was a spy or just a civilian. Should have been the same standard of no way, no how for the secret stuff. And I feel like he probably did that. But here's the real risk. If you were a planted Chinese spy — now I'm using the word spy, I think that's fair, right? — wouldn't you say? And if you were a planted spy, would you be untrained? Or do they just say, "Hey Christine Fang Fang Fang, as we like to call you, your assignment is this young politician and your job is to go help China." Then what would she say? "Help you in what way?" "Well you're gonna go do things with Swalwell and get close to him and see what you can do." And then she would say, "See what I can do in what way? Can you be more specific? Am I stealing secrets? What am I doing?" "Well yes, if you get an opportunity to find out any secrets that's part of it. But here's the part the news leaves out. Don't you think she was trained to persuade? She's not just a receiver, right?"
If you're going to make if you're going to go through all the trouble to plant Chinese spies all around the world in key positions, are you going to send them there untrained? You're not going to send her there untrained.
Now let me give you a full scary thought. Now since I don't know if she is trained or trained in what way, this is all speculation. All right, somebody's calling me a Democrat apologist. You might want to wait if you think I'm a Democrat apologist. Yeah you might want to wait. And by the way if you think I'm a Democrat apologist you're an idiot and you shouldn't be watching this livestream. You should really find some other content that's less challenging because that's not what I do here. It's not my job to be an apologist for anybody. And anybody who's been around long enough knows I will take any position that seems reasonable no matter where that is. I don't need to be anybody's apologist. So just go away. Go watch some other content that's more to your liking.
So here's my take on Swalwell. If you really want to be frightened of what's the worst case scenario, imagine if Fang Fang had my skill, just for persuasion. Now I don't mean just me specifically but anybody who was trained the way I was or indeed anybody who's even read my books. Would you want a Chinese spy getting close to one of our politicians who had read any of my books? Right, it's kind of dangerous.
So what do we know Swalwell was doing at least at one point? He was selling the idea that there was Russia collusion. And you know how I'm always surprised when I find out that Democrats believe what they're saying. Imagine if you will that the reason that Swalwell was so convinced there was Russia collusion is that maybe that had been suggested to him by somebody who was really really well trained as suggesting things. Think about it. We just went through years of this pissant Eric Swalwell looking the public straight in the eye and telling us he was pretty sure this was all Russia collusion. What if he believed it? Now was there any point when you thought he actually believed it? Because you say to yourself they don't believe that, it's just something they're saying, right? He might have believed it. He might still believe it. Because if you spend enough time with somebody who is trained as well as let's say I am — just as an example, I'm not like the world's greatest persuader, I just am trained — if you spend enough time with somebody who's trained you will believe anything. There's almost no limit to what a trained persuader could make a Swalwell believe.

even be more afraid? Here it goes. Twenty percent of all people — politicians, smart people, dumb people, educated people, uneducated people, people in all countries — about 20 percent can be convinced of anything. They can be convinced there's something in the room that isn't even there. They can be convinced that it's cold when it's hot. They can be convinced of anything by a trained hypnotist.…
