=== Let's Spin This Crap (09:13) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody!
[00:00:09]  Come on in here. Gather around.
[00:00:12]  It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.
[00:00:18]  And guess what?
[00:00:19]  As luck would have it, I'm Scott Adams and I have coffee.
[00:00:26]  And if you're well prepared, and I know some of you are, you have coffee too.
[00:00:31]  It may be a different beverage, but in any case, grab your cup, your mug, your stein, your chalice, your thermos.
[00:00:40]  Put some liquid in there.
[00:00:42]  I like coffee.
[00:00:43]  and join me for the simultaneous sip.
[00:00:46]  Let's spin this crap, somebody says.
[00:00:55]  Thank you.
[00:00:56]  Let's spin this crap.
[00:00:59]  Am I visiting Roger today?
[00:01:02]  Will I be going to jail with Roger Stone?
[00:01:05]  Not that I know of.
[00:01:08]  I'm happy to say that I've never met Roger Stone.
[00:01:13]  So there should be no record of text messages between us.
[00:01:20]  I'll tell you what I would hate to be.
[00:01:23]  Anybody who has texted Roger Stone in the last five years.
[00:01:28]  If you have ever exchanged messages with Roger Stone, you're probably a little worried right now.
[00:01:36]  Because Mueller's reading your messages.
[00:01:40]  Alright, so the big question of the day is...
[00:01:45]  Oh, maybe there's a bigger question.
[00:01:47]  Somebody says that Mike Sertovich's movie Hoaxed is out today.
[00:01:52]  Is that true? I'm still...
[00:01:55]  Okay, it looks like it's out today.
[00:01:59]  So if you haven't watched it, search for Hoaxed, H-O-A-X-E-D, by Mike Sertovich.
[00:02:08]  I'm in it, so it must be good.
[00:02:11]  But I've been looking forward to that, so make sure you watch that.
[00:02:18]  So, why am I whispering?
[00:02:20]  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.
[00:02:35]  Everybody was highly armed.
[00:02:38]  Now you might ask yourself, Why would they go in so heavy against Roger Stone?
[00:02:44]  Well, the odds that Roger Stone has heavy firepower in his house is probably close to 100%, wouldn't you say?
[00:02:54]  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?
[00:03:08]  Probably pretty high.
[00:03:10]  I always wondered why they do their FBI raids.
[00:03:14]  It seems like it's in the early morning before anybody would be expected to be awake.
[00:03:21]  And I think part of it is you make sure that they're not drunk because it's first thing in the morning.
[00:03:29]  And they're sort of sleepy and they haven't organized their thoughts yet.
[00:03:33]  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.
[00:03:41]  It's probably the best time.
[00:03:43]  All right, so it may seem to you, like it seems to me, like some kind of weird Groundhog Day.
[00:03:52]  Have you noticed That every story seems to be the same as every other story?
[00:04:00]  What are the two biggest stories today?
[00:04:03]  And ask yourself if you've ever heard these stories before.
[00:04:07]  Somebody associated with the Trump campaign, but not that closely.
[00:04:12]  That's always the key.
[00:04:13]  Associated with the campaign, but not that closely.
[00:04:17]  is accused of something by Mueller that probably has more to do with lying about something than with any base crime.
[00:04:27]  Now, have you ever heard that story before?
[00:04:30]  It's the same frickin' story we just hear over and over again.
[00:04:33]  It's just the same story.
[00:04:35]  All they do is they just replay the play with new characters.
[00:04:39]  So who's after Roger Stone?
[00:04:41]  I don't know. Are they running out of minor characters who are associated with the fringe of the campaign?
[00:04:48]  Probably a few more.
[00:04:51]  But Stone will be the most interesting.
[00:04:53]  Now, the other interesting thing about Stone...
[00:04:56]  Is that he probably knows where there are a lot of bodies buried.
[00:05:03]  I would hate to be on the other side of that guy because I don't think he's going to go quietly.
[00:05:12]  Whatever happens next is probably going to leave a pretty big crater, but I don't know.
[00:05:20]  Here's the other story.
[00:05:22]  See if you've ever heard this story before.
[00:05:25]  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.
[00:05:35]  Have you ever heard that story before?
[00:05:38]  It's just the same damn story.
[00:05:40]  They're just recycling it.
[00:05:42]  Another person with another book full of assumptions about what other people are thinking.
[00:05:48]  I just saw one of the excerpts, and it's exactly what you imagine.
[00:05:52]  It's stuff like, and the president craves the approval of the media that he hates.
[00:05:59]  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...
[00:06:11]  That's pretty solid. The President actually said that.
[00:06:14]  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...
[00:06:25]  I don't think...
[00:06:27]  That should not be a book.
[00:06:30]  But it will be. And it seems that they've targeted...
[00:06:35]  What's her name?
[00:06:38]  Why am I blanking on...
[00:06:41]  Kellyanne Conway.
[00:06:43]  So, have you noticed that the opposition is targeting and picking off specific individuals?
[00:06:51]  So, it seems that this book may have targeted Kellyanne Conway and...
[00:06:58]  Oh, Dershowitz is on TV? Darn it.
[00:07:02]  You'll have to go watch that.
[00:07:05]  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.
[00:07:19]  Person gets arrested, charged with something that's probably closer to lying than anything else.
[00:07:25]  Somebody writes a book.
[00:07:27]  There are lots of assumptions about what people's inner thoughts are.
[00:07:31]  They've picked off somebody to take out.
[00:07:35]  Same news. There's not even much to say about it.
[00:07:39]  But there is a question I saw on Twitter.
[00:07:42]  I don't know if anybody's answered it yet.
[00:07:43]  Maybe you can answer it for me.
[00:07:45]  Somebody answered me this question.
[00:07:49]  Why was CNN standing outside of Roger Stone's home with cameras and exactly when Mueller's secret raid happened?
[00:08:05]  Does somebody have an explanation for how CNN knew to be there?
[00:08:09]  Were they just always there?
[00:08:11]  They just have a film crew that just sits in front of Roger Stone's house just in case?
[00:08:16]  Or do they have a source inside the Mueller investigation?
[00:08:23]  CNN got tipped off.
[00:08:25]  Well, maybe so.
[00:08:28]  Somebody says, why does it matter?
[00:08:30]  It matters because wouldn't you like to know if CNN has real sources?
[00:08:36]  Because that would obviously be confirmed as an accurate insider source.
[00:08:43]  Yeah. So that would matter.
[00:08:50]  And I don't have a whole lot else to say today, so I'm going to keep it short.
[00:09:01]  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.
[00:09:10]  But let's hope it's not just Groundhog Day all over again.
