0.289 - 21.128 Scott Adams

Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

21.408 - 48.764 Scott Adams

And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine of the day makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Go. So good. So good. Well, there's nothing that makes me happier than watching President Trump mock Rosie O'Donnell.

50.484 - 78.141 Scott Adams

So yesterday, by coincidence, after Rosie O'Donnell announced that she's moving to Ireland, the Prime Minister of Ireland was in the White House. And the President's talking to the Prime Minister, and Trump says, quote, Ireland is known for very happy, fun-loving people. Why in the world would you let Rosie O'Donnell move to Ireland? Why would you let her move?

0

79.041 - 110.447 Scott Adams

She's going to ruin the whole country. Well, I've got one data point that's not scientific, but according to Matt Van Swall, he was just talking to, I guess yesterday, He was talking to a sales rep for Tesla, and the sales rep said it's one of the busiest days they've ever had for sales. So after Trump bought his Tesla, a lot of people apparently followed suit.

111.187 - 140.977 Scott Adams

So Tesla had one of his best days ever. I have a feeling that's going to continue for a little while. So we'll see. You know, one of the biggest the biggest changes for Tesla is it did seem like it was a little bit of a climate change lover kind of a car. So I think Republicans were a little bit, you know, I'll take my gas powered truck. Thank you. I don't need your electric cars.

141.878 - 170.628 Scott Adams

But now that it's so clearly a political thing, there are a whole bunch of Trump lovers are saying, oh yeah, it's a great car. Are you kidding me? Everybody wants one. So if you add the Democrats who just like a good car, To the Republicans who might buy one partly for political reasons, it could actually end up being good for Tesla. Net, maybe. We'll see. Could go either way.

172.689 - 198.303 Scott Adams

Well, Mike Johnson, House Speaker Mike Johnson. He says that Congress is going to investigate, quote, the domestic terrorism against the Tesla dealerships and charging stations because there's been vandalism and destruction and set fires and all that stuff. And, yeah, domestic terrorism. That's exactly right. At what point does the domestic terrorism, though, become a RICO?

199.484 - 232.592 Scott Adams

Does it have to be, like, do you have to steal something to make it RICO? But if you have a large, organized, well-funded group whose job it is to destroy these Tesla places, even if they don't have directions to, say, set it on fire or vandalize it, they know it's happening. So if the organizers know that their actions will cause vandalism at various places, at what point does it become RICO?

233.385 - 262.937 Scott Adams

if we have visibility to the entire funding apparatus and everything else. So Elon Musk is trying again to get the courts to agree to his $56 billion Tesla pay package that was disapproved by a lower court. And the thing that occurred to me today is if he gets a $56 billion payday, do you know how much taxes that means?

Chapter 2: What did President Trump say about Rosie O'Donnell?

595.413 - 622.7 Scott Adams

Well, Republicans do that too, and it showed a whole bunch of messages from people who noted that egg prices were down, gas prices were down, and inflation and mortgage rates were down. And so the Democrat who found all those was saying, yeah, see, you guys do the same thing, except none of them were cut and paste. Every one of them was written individually, and it was the headline that day.

0

623.924 - 652.05 Scott Adams

All they were doing is talking about the good news that was in the headlines, which is what we all do. If there's good economic news and it favors your team, of course you're going to tweet about it or post about it. But here's what I think about the inflation looking good. And I guess jobs are kind of pretty close to in line to what we expected, jobless claims. It basically gives Trump...

0

652.856 - 684.536 Scott Adams

a month of breathing room. Because until and if things start turning the other way, people are going to say, oh, well, it looks like that tariff stuff didn't really change anything. At least it didn't make anything more expensive. So the best news is not just that the interest rates are down and eggs and gas are less expensive. The good news is he gives Trump another 30 days of operating space.

0

685.336 - 712.434 Scott Adams

And if he gets two in a row, I wouldn't predict that, but it's possible. If he gets two months in a row where things look down in terms of prices, he's going to have a lot of wiggle room. After two months of threatening every kind of tariff in the world, if prices go down, and they could, because a lot of it is based on expectations for the future economy.

0

713.315 - 741.771 Scott Adams

So if the economy looks like it's a little soft, Prices can go down. I don't know if that's directly what's affecting it. I suspect that with gas and with eggs has more to do with just something specific to those domains. So I was watching Bernie Sanders do some event. He's going around talking to big groups. He gave an interview. And this is what Bernie Sanders says.

742.921 - 777.24 Scott Adams

about the Trump administration. He says it's the scariest time in his life. And I thought, really? This is the scariest time in your life? Why? And he said, blah, blah, blah, oligarchs. So the Democrats are trying to find this way to bond with their base, really talk like the regular person. Do you know any regular person who complains about oligarchs? Have you ever heard that?

777.681 - 803.804 Scott Adams

I've never heard that once. I've never heard like just an ordinary voter say something like, you know, there are a few things I like about the world, but man, it's a scary time because of the oligarchs. I would go so far as to say that 70% of the entire Democrat base thinks that oligarch is one of the chemicals that RFK Jr. is trying to remove from food.

805.865 - 838.706 Scott Adams

It's the weakest, dumbest, completely disconnected from any kind of reality thing. It's the scariest time of his life. Blah, blah, blah, oligarchs. Bernie's lost it. He's completely lost it. Have you seen the compilation clips on X or other places where it shows the prominent Democrats literally saying we've got to get rid of the waste, fraud and abuse in our big social programs?

839.546 - 862.961 Scott Adams

And they're very careful to say, no, no, we're not talking about cutting benefits. We're only talking about getting rid of the waste, fraud and corruption and abuse. And it's literally exactly what Doge is saying, exactly what Trump is saying. And it couldn't be more obvious that the Democrats are a performative group.

Chapter 3: How are Tesla's sales being affected by political views?

1421.81 - 1452.43 Scott Adams

Do you think an older white guy can get elected now as president? You know, it was impressive that he ever became mayor of Chicago. But president? I don't know. I'm not sure if the Democrat... coalition would allow that. They had some special feeling for Biden that didn't always make sense to me. So I don't think Rahm Emanuel would have that Biden sort of affection. But that'd be a problem.

0

1453.15 - 1486.747 Scott Adams

Because they're all about diversity. And if they run another white guy, it's going to be sort of a glaring non-diversity situation. Anyway, the other problem with Rahm Emanuel, and I'm not sure about this, give me a fact check on this, but when I see them in public, and he's criticizing Republicans, I don't think he makes stuff up, which would make him unique among Democrats.

0

1487.248 - 1514.693 Scott Adams

Democrats generally just lie. So they say, oh, Doge is going to cut your social services. But the truth is, the only cuts they're looking for are the waste, fraud, and abuse, which wouldn't cut anybody's services, in fact, might protect them, because there would be more money to actually pay people. So if he doesn't lie, could he win? Because mostly what Democrats have is those kind of lies.

0

1515.374 - 1539.985 Scott Adams

Oh, Trump is a dictator, right? Would Rahm Emanuel say that? It's so stupid. Trump's going to cut your Social Security. He's not. Well, he wouldn't be running against Trump, but let's say whoever he's running against. Would he say that that person is going to be cutting all your social services when he knows that it's not going to happen? I don't know.

0

1540.905 - 1568.879 Scott Adams

So he'd be an interesting one, but I'd worry about him a little bit. Meanwhile, so here's a good example. In Axios, there's a headline that says, Doge is taking its wrecking ball to the Social Security Administration, the agency responsible for overseeing retirement and disability benefits for 73 million Americans. Now, if you saw that headline,

1569.673 - 1596.526 Scott Adams

it would look like they're cutting benefits to people who get Social Security, right? That's not the story. The story is that they're cutting the staff, and they have very old computer systems, and so there are some issues about whether it can just function with fewer people. I imagine it can. I'm not too worried about it. But that's a sort of lie.

1597.612 - 1621.08 Scott Adams

It wasn't a lie, technically, because the article describes what they're talking about. But that's the sort of thing that the Democrats have to run on. They have to just make stuff up because they don't have real stuff. Because otherwise they're running against common sense. So they have to assign stupid opinions to Republicans... just so they have something to complain about.

1621.741 - 1653.118 Scott Adams

Oh, I think he wants to kill all the babies. What? Nobody said anything like that. Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure he's indicated he wants to kill all the babies. No. All right. There's a story about the former CEO of Barclays, the bank. that apparently he had sex with Epstein's assistant. We don't know how old that was. But the funny part about it was, so he's admitted in court.

1653.579 - 1682.143 Scott Adams

I don't know what the court case was about, but he admitted that he was involved in the Jeffrey Epstein world there. And they're looking to ban him from the industry, blah, blah, blah. But apparently they discovered 1,000 emails, like really friendly emails to Jeffrey Epstein. And he says he doesn't remember them. He sent 1,000 emails. I don't remember doing that. Really? Really?
