Back to episode — Episode 1947 Scott Adams - The Laptop From Hell Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving. Explaining Ye, More

he left of being racist. I don't know, it's kind of perfect. But you also knew that that's where I had to go, right? Once your model of the world is that it's groups against groups all you see is groups and everything is one group against another. So the left has to eat itself in the long run. The inevitable evolution of the left is it has to eat itself. It has to break into atomized parts and st…
← Previous segment →f attention you could actually argue maybe it's working in his favor in a weird kind of way because he's done that before. That would be a standard play. But does it look like that? Here's what I wonder. I'm watching Elon Musk and also Ye attract all the energy and I think Trump is left sort of energy poor. There's not enough energy going in his direction and so he's got to top Elon Musk, the laptop story and whatever the hell Ye is doing today to get to greater level of outrageousness than our baseline. Because the baseline is so outrageous now that getting above that takes a little work.
Barry I'm going to get rid of you just for being an... there's no other reason. You're just an... goodbye. Poor Barry. Barry we will miss you. No we won't. We won't miss you Barry.
So in my opinion Trump has very little room to operate because to get more outrageous than what is the baseline there's just no room left. You have to go all the way to maybe we should throw out the Constitution. Now you can't defend Trump after he says maybe you throw out the Constitution because that was the setup, right? The setup was hey January 6 is about Trump wanting to overthrow the country and be a dictator to which all of us said no that's not what that was. That's totally not what that was. That was the opposite. That literally the opposite. The protesters wanted to make sure the system worked the way it was designed and they weren't sure that that was happening so they asked for a delay to make sure that the Constitution is working the way it was designed. That's all.
But the left created this trap that said you know it really was trying to overthrow the Constitution and the country and then Trump walks right into the trap by saying after all of this, after all the energy I wasted explaining that January 6 wasn't what you thought it was, it's an op by the left and it is. But all that wasted time defending that you know the at least the Trump supporters were on the right side and he just threw them under the bus because all of those January 6 supporters are going to be tarred by this opinion because people, the left is going to say well Trump just said directly let's get rid of the Constitution right. He said it directly if it helps him ignore the Constitution. And now they're going to tar all those well-meaning patriots who really were just trying to make it a better country and all of them are going to be tarred by this. They should drop him like the hottest rock of all time. I don't see any way he comes back from this. He's just so done right? That's my... I had one red line. Would you agree?
Well I mean I wouldn't support somebody who was actually literally racist. I wouldn't do that. That's a red line. But the other red line is you have to be on the side of the Constitution. Is that asking a lot to be on the side of the Constitution? Yeah. Fentanyl is a single issue vote but you know I would still allow that somebody's in the contest but really I don't know.
So I think Trump is as done as you could possibly be which is interesting because who's left now? What happens if Trump is not viable but nobody primaries him because nobody else is viable because Trump will take him out? It's gonna get real interesting.
Scott you did not read the entire quote. I don't need to. I don't need to read the entire quote. If you're saying that the entire quote would soften it or change its meaning that's irrelevant because the way it will be presented is the way I just presented it. So if you think that I'm ignoring the truth the truth isn't part of the topic. The topic I'm talking about is what will people think and feel about it. The truth is somewhat irrelevant. You know what was he really thinking or what did he technically say? Not relevant. Just not relevant. Because he walked into a trap and then he sprung it on himself.
What am I supposed to ignore that? Junior Coltrane Scott is a real Sam Harris in all caps. I can't even tell if you're real or a troll.
All right. Biden has a new tweet with a photo of him in the Oval Office working and I noticed he's got a comic strip that's framed on the table behind him. Now as you know I was not a supporter of President Biden but I was willing to based on which comic that was. It was a little blurry but some people did some research and they determined that the comic was Hagar the Horrible. Hagar the Horrible. I was willing to let it go when I found out that Biden was a huge liar all of his career, said a lot of things about himself that weren't true. I was annoyed when he pushed the fine people hoax and he was running for office to end the lying by being a huge liar. I was concerned about his dealings with or Hunter's dealings with foreign countries and I didn't like

what he did with his inflation and some of his work policies but I was willing to maybe overlook some of those things for the unity of the country. But he has a Hagar the Horrible comic behind his desk. I can't ignore that. I can't ignore that. Yeah no he didn't go full pickles. If he had gone full pickles which is another comic that would be too far but Hagar? Hagar? I don't know if I can forgiv…
