Let's Spin This Crap

| Hey everybody! | |
| Come on in here. Gather around. | |
| It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams. | |
| And guess what? | |
| As luck would have it, I'm Scott Adams and I have coffee. | |
| And if you're well prepared, and I know some of you are, you have coffee too. | |
| It may be a different beverage, but in any case, grab your cup, your mug, your stein, your chalice, your thermos. | |
| Put some liquid in there. | |
| I like coffee. | |
| and join me for the simultaneous sip. | |
| Let's spin this crap, somebody says. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Let's spin this crap. | |
| Am I visiting Roger today? | |
| Will I be going to jail with Roger Stone? | |
| Not that I know of. | |
| I'm happy to say that I've never met Roger Stone. | |
| So there should be no record of text messages between us. | |
| I'll tell you what I would hate to be. | |
| Anybody who has texted Roger Stone in the last five years. | |
| If you have ever exchanged messages with Roger Stone, you're probably a little worried right now. | |
| Because Mueller's reading your messages. | |
| Alright, so the big question of the day is... | |
| Oh, maybe there's a bigger question. | |
| Somebody says that Mike Sertovich's movie Hoaxed is out today. | |
| Is that true? I'm still... | |
| Okay, it looks like it's out today. | |
| So if you haven't watched it, search for Hoaxed, H-O-A-X-E-D, by Mike Sertovich. | |
| I'm in it, so it must be good. | |
| But I've been looking forward to that, so make sure you watch that. | |
| So, why am I whispering? | |
| Christina's still asleep. So I'm on the road today, and I wake up to the news that the FBI has raided Roger Stone's, not raided, I guess they did a powerful knock on the door. | |
| Everybody was highly armed. | |
| Now you might ask yourself, Why would they go in so heavy against Roger Stone? | |
| Well, the odds that Roger Stone has heavy firepower in his house is probably close to 100%, wouldn't you say? | |
| What would you guess are the odds that Roger Stone has some serious weaponry, legal, I'm sure it's all legal, but serious weaponry in his home? | |
| Probably pretty high. | |
| I always wondered why they do their FBI raids. | |
| It seems like it's in the early morning before anybody would be expected to be awake. | |
| And I think part of it is you make sure that they're not drunk because it's first thing in the morning. | |
| And they're sort of sleepy and they haven't organized their thoughts yet. | |
| So you just have an advantage if you're a big bunch of FBI people and you catch somebody at, I don't know, five in the morning or whenever they do it. | |
| It's probably the best time. | |
| All right, so it may seem to you, like it seems to me, like some kind of weird Groundhog Day. | |
| Have you noticed That every story seems to be the same as every other story? | |
| What are the two biggest stories today? | |
| And ask yourself if you've ever heard these stories before. | |
| Somebody associated with the Trump campaign, but not that closely. | |
| That's always the key. | |
| Associated with the campaign, but not that closely. | |
| is accused of something by Mueller that probably has more to do with lying about something than with any base crime. | |
| Now, have you ever heard that story before? | |
| It's the same frickin' story we just hear over and over again. | |
| It's just the same story. | |
| All they do is they just replay the play with new characters. | |
| So who's after Roger Stone? | |
| I don't know. Are they running out of minor characters who are associated with the fringe of the campaign? | |
| Probably a few more. | |
| But Stone will be the most interesting. | |
| Now, the other interesting thing about Stone... | |
| Is that he probably knows where there are a lot of bodies buried. | |
| I would hate to be on the other side of that guy because I don't think he's going to go quietly. | |
| Whatever happens next is probably going to leave a pretty big crater, but I don't know. | |
| Here's the other story. | |
| See if you've ever heard this story before. | |
| Someone who once worked for the White House writes a tell-all book that alleges he knows what the president's deepest inner thoughts are. | |
| Have you ever heard that story before? | |
| It's just the same damn story. | |
| They're just recycling it. | |
| Another person with another book full of assumptions about what other people are thinking. | |
| I just saw one of the excerpts, and it's exactly what you imagine. | |
| It's stuff like, and the president craves the approval of the media that he hates. | |
| And I'm thinking to myself, okay, if you gave us a text or a direct quote where the president said, I crave the media attention, then I would say... | |
| That's pretty solid. The President actually said that. | |
| But if you're writing a book where you're talking about the President's inner thoughts and his secret worries that he doesn't speak about, I don't think... | |
| I don't think... | |
| That should not be a book. | |
| But it will be. And it seems that they've targeted... | |
| What's her name? | |
| Why am I blanking on... | |
| Kellyanne Conway. | |
| So, have you noticed that the opposition is targeting and picking off specific individuals? | |
| So, it seems that this book may have targeted Kellyanne Conway and... | |
| Oh, Dershowitz is on TV? Darn it. | |
| You'll have to go watch that. | |
| But... Yeah, it's just, it's a whole another, I don't know, two weeks of the same story that we've been watching over and over again. | |
| Person gets arrested, charged with something that's probably closer to lying than anything else. | |
| Somebody writes a book. | |
| There are lots of assumptions about what people's inner thoughts are. | |
| They've picked off somebody to take out. | |
| Same news. There's not even much to say about it. | |
| But there is a question I saw on Twitter. | |
| I don't know if anybody's answered it yet. | |
| Maybe you can answer it for me. | |
| Somebody answered me this question. | |
| Why was CNN standing outside of Roger Stone's home with cameras and exactly when Mueller's secret raid happened? | |
| Does somebody have an explanation for how CNN knew to be there? | |
| Were they just always there? | |
| They just have a film crew that just sits in front of Roger Stone's house just in case? | |
| Or do they have a source inside the Mueller investigation? | |
| CNN got tipped off. | |
| Well, maybe so. | |
| Somebody says, why does it matter? | |
| It matters because wouldn't you like to know if CNN has real sources? | |
| Because that would obviously be confirmed as an accurate insider source. | |
| Yeah. So that would matter. | |
| And I don't have a whole lot else to say today, so I'm going to keep it short. | |
| Alright, I may check in later when we have more news, but for now I'm going to sign off and we'll keep watching the news to see what else develops. | |
| But let's hope it's not just Groundhog Day all over again. | |
