using us and they're gonna come over anyway. Because I don't know how much money it takes to stop immigration but I'm feeling like ten point six billion spread across several countries probably not enough. Yeah it feels like a drop in the bucket. So the optics of it are horrible for Trump's base I would think. Which is different from saying it won't work because I'd like to see an argument for it…

o question about it. I think any objective person who watched CNN, if there is such a thing as an objective person, an objective person looking at CNN and MSNBC would say oh it's clear that you're just making news about things that your viewers want to watch. And they like Russia. They like Trump legal jeopardy porn. So they're giving it to them.

The net effect of that is that Trump is essentially assassinated by the media because it's good for business. So this is what I predicted 15 years ago, that the press would assassinate famous people for news. And how many times have you seen in the news drag somebody out and assassinate them in public, ruining their career in public by talking about whatever thing they said, the outrage that they did, etc. It's the press. The press is literally taking American citizens out one at a time and assassinating them in front of the other citizens because it's good for business.

Stop saying resigning and assassinating. Somebody says why? Because I'm giving people ideas. I don't think there's, you know, in my view there's no real chance that President Trump will resign. You know the odds of that are really really small because as far as I can tell he's not in any serious legal jeopardy. It's just what the news is talking about. But they are ruining him and they're trying as hard as they can to assassinate him. And they're trying to take out his family. They're trying to, you know, and if Pence becomes president they'll just take him out because they need to assassinate famous people for ratings.

I'm a little surprised they haven't come after me yet. Are you surprised about that? Have you noticed that at least the top level of the news hasn't really come after me? Bloomberg did. Bloomberg came after me with a hit piece during, was it during the election or after the election? So I guess Bloomberg has long had these... I think BuzzFeed has. Gawker did before they went out of business. Yeah there have been quite a few second-tier media companies that have tried to assassinate me with fake news of course. But the top tier has not. Jezebel, yeah the lower-level people.

Why hasn't your press assassination idea picked up? I don't know. Yeah Bloomberg interviewed me before the election and then released after the election I think that's right.

Who made that photo of a uniformed Scott? Yeah oh that's true. Well do you count Google as the press? They sort of are, aren't they? I think you can count Google as the press.

All right good point. So Google's image search shows Photoshopped pictures of me in a Nazi uniform. So that would be an example of the media, because Google really is the media. That would be an example of the media trying to assassinate me. And in that case actually literally death. So I would say that Google is actually trying to kill me. At least that's the indication right now. It could be accidental. It could be. But since it's been called to their attention and the picture is still up there... The pictures did disappear from the first search page but they're still in the top ten on the images page. But that may be a fake out because since I called attention to it people are clicking on those images so it's probably keeping them up there artificially.

So I've said let's wait a little while and stop clicking on those pictures. Which I guess I have to wait a few more weeks now because I mentioned it again.

Google can't delete it? They certainly can. They can do anything they want.

There's a health insurance plan in India. Send me that link if you have one. Yeah then the Nazi picture is still... Well let me look. I'll look right now while you're here. I'll do Google myself. All right top page doesn't have that image but if I click images it is the top image. Oops yeah so it's the fourth one and it's right on the top.

So let me ask you this. And it's right after it says "Scott Adams dissecting Donald Trump" so they make sure that it's clear that I'm associated with Trump. And then the picture next to it is me in a Nazi uniform that's been photoshopped on. Now don't you think that's trying to literally kill me? You know that would be an interesting lawsuit. I wish I liked lawsuits. I avoid them at all costs. But isn't it obviously true that Google is putting me in danger of death by branding me a Nazi? Intentionally. Intentionally in the sense that they could stop it but don't. Obviously they know about it by now.

And now I suppose they could argue free speech but this is hate speech. Let me ask yo

u this. How is this not hate speech? In what world is branding a white guy as a Nazi not hate speech? This is absolutely hate speech. It's hate speech that gets people killed. In this case it may be me. And by the way if I ever get killed, which I think is a pretty high likelihood, I'd put the odds of maybe 30%. I'd say the odds of me being killed by a citizen for something that was in the fake n…
