appened. And so they're seeing the ICE agents out there. They're seeing the other people as well. So it's a new story that's developing here. And it's also the story of the ICE agent who had already been hit once?

It was. Yeah. And from what I understand the gentleman had been hit. He was hospitalized. He had 33 stitches from being hit with a car. And so did that play an effect into his mindset when this seemingly maybe similar event occurred with him? I don't know. But I think he'll have his story to tell and he'll have his time there too. And to segue a little bit too, the other main story that's occurring in the news right now is our fraud cases. And it's just such a dominating story. You've mentioned so many times when you scroll through X that it's every story in the collective bubble and the general feeling too here just again from coffee with my co-workers is that it's really embarrassing to be a Minnesotan at this point in time. It's shameful to feel like we can't trust our government to be in our best interest. And I've seen different posts and I've seen different things too. I saw one of these, it was a different influencer from a different thing on X, but it was a lady from Brazil. She broke it down very well and that bribery in Brazil and other countries and third world countries isn't that far off from loss of trust is the initial thing and then bribery and subset of okay I'll have to get mine you have to get yours and all of these different areas of people not believing in them. That's when it occurs when you have that breakdown of trust and that breakdown in belief in government.

So I think there's a George Soros type of model going on, meaning that Soros figured out we could control cities by controlling just the prosecutors. And then if you get the mayor, which is also not that expensive, then you can basically steal and cheat any way you want. And it will automatically be something that you could get away with. So absolutely.

Why do they get away with it? So and to your I've been a listener now for a while and you actually opened my eyes to the fact that if there isn't any audits, if there's no controls, you have a bunch of money, a lot of complexity. I think that's your formula. Bunch of money, a lot of complexity, there's automatic theft. And we're finding it in Minnesota that it's at enormous scale. It's not even conceivable that it's beyond we knew it was happening but it's beyond even comprehension. So I think it's really shameful.

I said this on the show but if you've worked with budgets before and you start to get this instinct about when the budget is off that other people just can't see. And so I don't know when it was a year or two ago I started looking at the budget numbers and I thought there's no way that you can get here just by not watching the numbers. This has to be a coordinated gigantic effort. And that blew me away.

All right. Thank you so much. I appreciate you and I pray for you every day actually. So thank you.

So here's what we're trying to do. Trying to move the business model of what we were doing here from Coffee with Scott Adams, which you could enjoy it that way, but try to move it into more of a casual well-informed living room conversation. Or if somebody wanted to just tell us something that wasn't really coming out. So it could be somebody wanted to say today I'd like to teach people something I learned on a mini lesson or something that if you were a young person you'd really want to have this skill. So we're going to go on a wild experiment in which there will be rules but they will be made up by the people who participate.

So for example who's the gentleman in the middle who had his dog?

Richard Pickett.

Yes, Richard. I love that. All right. So you're exactly the right vibe. If you can't pick up your dog in the middle of it we're not where we want to be. So dogs are good.

All right. I don't know how to change the people who have been invited already to another view of people who have been invited already. I might have to delete people to add people. So I'm still experimenting.

Well I was going to say maybe if we go off camera and you invite more people then we're off and then new people can come on.

Yeah. I was just trying to figure out how that but I might drop you all. Let's see what happens.

Thank you, Scott.

Thank you, Scott.

All right. You can't hear me.

Well I can hear my mic. So is off your microphone. Your microphone. That would be good. That would be good.

Okay. How about it? Oh holy cow. Here's Mike Bird. Let's see what happens if I go with Mike Bird and Cryptic and Heisenberg. Somewhat random but I know some of these people by name. Sergio. Hello. Sergio's in. Beaver Slayer Jan. All right. For that you must be accepted. It says I thought I accepted you. Well maybe it did. And all right. So oh there we go. So we've got some people who were on before, some new people. Again I'm waiting to see if there's any way I can see your names and I'm going to turn off the microphone for some people.

All right if you've already spoken I should have found a way to turn you off but I didn't. All right. I'm going to try to turn on. Why is it all the same people? Half of you are the same. Don't know why.

All right. Every time.

So can I, Scott, sorry to interrupt you. I think what's happening? You've invited it looks like you've invited 15 people to participate. In order for us to come on or come off like with our cameras we have to do that ourselves. So we have to either share or unshare our camera. I don't know how to take myself off as a participant but those people who just joined if they share their camera they should be on. And then for those of us who are on we can unshare ours.

All right I'm going to hit a dismiss button. It looks like it's going to dismiss everybody but then I'll add people back on and see what happens. Nope. All right. It took me three clicks but we're not getting anybody here. How do I delete some of you but not all of you? JRC can you turn your camera off? You would also disappear from... There you go. Thank you.

Oh new people. Hello new people.

What's up?

All right we're going to try to... Who is... We're going to turn on your microphone. You I guess you have it off. So there's a woman in the middle of my screen toward the bottom who has just waved to me. Okay. No that's another one.

Hello.

Yes. Hello. Hello.

This is Sarah.

Sarah.

Did you say Sarah?

Sarah. Yes.

Sarah, how about you let us know what you're up to? You could tell us what's in the news that we haven't seen yet or you could talk about something else. We're still experimenting.

Okay. Well morning I was just but anyway I did catch up on news and you know just watching left Europe to give us another round of 2020 has me concerned. I think it'll be interesting to see what Trump decides to do because it seems like the leadership of Minnesota is just baiting them into doing something and but I don't know that the country's in the same position we were in in 2020 in terms of being supportive of riots and fires and lots of destruction. So I'm interested to hear what you think might happen in order to shift the direction that we seem to be going in at the moment.

Oh you're talking about a state or the country? Well I mean it looks like blue cities are gearing up right to last night New York City really getting lots of people out on the street and then of course Minneapolis it looks like they're trying to set up another CHAZ type situation. Yeah they're setting up a barrier around the area where that woman was killed to keep residents from their homes and everything is what I saw this morning. So like I said are we going to sort of just let that go on again or is something going to happen that's a little stamps it out a little bit better? I don't know. I'm just...

Well at this point doesn't everybody know that the protests are not organic? You know it's a Soros, it's some guy from China, some billionaire from China. I wonder if it's going to have the same effect when it becomes really really obvious that it's not coming from inside the tent. It's coming from billionaires who may or may not have our interest in mind. How many of you think these were inauthentic protests? Raise your hand. Yeah. So I got a feeling that at least part of the country is completely filled in now. That's got to make a difference, don't you think? So I hope the process say weak and that looks performative.

Okay.

What about the international news? Anybody have any update on Iran? Because that looks as inauthentic as ours. If anybody wants to jump in just ahead.

Well any moment now it just seems like we're going to jump in on Iran. It's not a moment of if but when. And it's probably going to be very soon.

Do you believe that we're already poised to go in militarily?

Definitely. Trump, what would it look like?

Yeah. I mean what Trump wants to do I think is similar to the Venezuela tactic which is just an in-and-out type thing. Kind of like what happened a few months ago in Iran where he bombed the facilities and all that. But other countries want us to or another country wants us to go all in more for a regime change type battle. So I'm hoping there's no false flag, nothing that'll draw us in super deep, super heavy into it. So there'
