The post Episode 8: About Roseanne, North Korea, and CNN appeared first on Dilbert Blog.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
To do to try again
this again new microphone new equipment,
when the trolls come on and told me that my sound is now working.
I will be ignoring them are blocking them.
There is actually a real
problem with some of the browsers that are not working with periscope. Well,
so there are some people who are having
sound problems, but its own specific, browsers, apparently yeah. I know so. It's like my rose in
so. I watch Roseanne last night. As you know, the
the news was that she was going to be a trump supporter and
I didn't have high expectations.
Because I didn't think that the
Standards. Sicker model was still relevant and twenty eighteen, so
I went into it with low expectations by thinking. Well, I have to watch it because everybody is going to be talking about it
I'll. Tell you what.
It was really really good like
startlingly good
The writing was extraordinary the
the chemistry of the team, of course, was good. It's the same chemistry that made it a great show before and it looks like they start. The chemistry
what they ve added. On top of
great writing, perfect comedic actors and gray chemistry.
There they found a whole new level with
this adding the Trump supporter and then her sister J.
He is the
Thea,
Pussy her wearing liberal
just it just takes her to another level
it takes to hold another level that makes you
think about it the next day, so that I laughed
till I cried,
during the show,
then, a day later, I'm thinking about certain themes in the way they approach things. That's
just a home run. So
congratulations to Rosa him,
I have to say the bar was so high, but you cleared it easily.
So it was, it was his brilliant.
So I hope
They can keep up their quality, but to have you
first to chose out of the box. Less strong is unusual, but very impressive, North Korea. So
we ve got this good news coming end all over the place about North Korea. All the indications are in place that something good can happen there. Here's how
here so CNN is handling the great gray,
North Korea NEWS that year
ok, go wrong
But right now everything whether we know that is great.
So how to CNN report the Great news? Well, let's look
see what their headline is on CNN about a great great news and president trumps success.
Santorum walks back his CPR remark, though,
They just now replace their story about Stormy Daniels lawyer,
but I'm sure there's North Korea stories somewhere
the top centre. Walking back is remark, is at the top, but the sea,
something about second amendment.
Schools- guns, guns, okay, so or about
tax levels down nothing about North Korea, but I know it's there, another some North Korea start here.
No stormy Daniels Stormy Daniel. Still. We Daniels Centre
our Pio Disney
STAR present,
Find the lawyer some advice for the president's marriage and Cooper Tint
you call me in the town hall.
Ok, oh here it is here it is the.
Twenty seventh item on CNN roughly is North Korea.
Kim visits China leader and then re below it. China throws Trump a curveball
China throws Trump curveball.
That's how their reporting that China and North Korea
at a very important summit. The
obviously the lead up to you.
Nuclear station by here
Here's other reporting, the curveball, so the curb
Oh, is that
Kim and she are being cosy.
Therefore, the theory is that that would be. How can we protect himself
from the? U S, aggression. Should we asked them to give up his news.
Another word CNN is reporting. That is worth
it's going in the wrong direction
man that is such a reach, such a right
she's gonna work pretty hard to make. This look like bad news, but they did it. They did it.
Here's, how you probably should see the visits by Kim too she.
Let me put us in perspective too,
How would it look.
To President she who is vital to this whole process. How would it looked at him?
if he were not the first leader that Kim visited, think about that
Is there anyway, the king could have a car?
global meeting with President Trump.
Had he not done the first step which is paid
this respect.
Two presidency, an end
demonstrate in a physical away by actually travelling there. That
primary relationship is with China.
I'm pretty sure China wanted to make that point as well, so to report.
That the obvious step
for meeting with President Trump has been take
in exactly the right time.
And in the right way, how to turn
into bad news, where you going
pretty hard, so
There was no, there was no way they can.
Should have, and by the way you wouldn't want him too,
You wouldn't want
Kim Jong on to meet with Trump
higher to meeting with President she. If China, you wouldn't want that to happen,
That would not be the right order of things the correct order of things.
Meets with China. They get there.
Situation straight China.
Is respected as the big brother that they are in the neighborhood and then
if you go on having conversation with Trump, so things
proceeding exactly the way they should sound is off. You get blocked
Some blocking the people who are telling me that my sound isn't working today.
Scott, when you have a discussion with North Korea with Michael Malice,
Yes, I would.
In fact, I was thinking about doing exactly that. So
I think all contact him and and have him do that
played back my interview where
having had collars
on my ass
and I didn't like the sound too much on that,
We who watched last night.
Was the sound ok MIKE
Belarus is expert on North Korea, so you,
Be a to talk to doktor,
Not very good sound though yeah was tinny I'll have to figure out how to fix that
might be a way to do that.
Gordon Jane would be great and he would be.
He would be the other big, namely here about North Korea. I dont know
I can get him on my periscope, but I
I've had contact with Michael Malice, I think he might come on.
So some more tinny some were ok. Ok,.
Doesnt seem to you once again.
That the news cycle is getting a little slow
you like we ve, run out of we ve
a man of good news, not good.
My interesting news
because all Russia thing is looking boring,
like the Russia collusion didn't happen. Your lesson,
the people who were
Supporters were pretty. It did,
about five g today, really.
Somebody says the idea report is coming soon. We don't know that doing that's. Just speculation.
The whole stormy thing did nothing but raise,
Raise Trump approval, wrecking oh
replying versus Vs Harris
my god- yes, that was the topic I was trying to remember- to talk about
some of you know that
SAM areas and I had a conversation on his podcast about Trump,
and a lot has been said about that in view, in terms of
who did the better job of presenting their side of things but
supper from that, so you know that salmon
I said I have pre deep disagreements
and the only talk on the only topics we ve talked about, which is politics.
Now. I see that as recline from vocs,
as has been said, Harris calling SAM a racist.
Now what you need to know about this,
The SAM is about as you
say I want to say Democrat.
But he says
when it whatever is the opposite of a racist
as was said heiresses, but
some areas, is also
intellectual and science loving guy
and he made these supreme mistake. In my opinion, this was a mistake.
Though, he did for the reason- and I'm glad you did it-
but he interviewed Charles Murray, Charles Murray. He, I think, that's right it
His paws now Murray, is one who wrote the book the Bell curve.
And he has provoked
things to say about iq.
And in particular the lightning rod part. Is that
he says things about Rachel differences in IQ,
I'm not going to make the mistake.
The same Harris
Murray both make wish
just to them. Talk about that topic because that that's just a mistake
doesn't matter. If it's true, it's a mistake, sir.
Well, let me give you my my opinion this on race, and I like
It's complicated ers, of course, there's always a component there's a environmental component, but
More importantly, if you'd, if you'd look at
any team of people who are working effectively for a goal? You quite often
they have different. I accuse I'm just talk about any rim, random team of people working on the project, but quite often,
who can do with the other one can do, in other words,
somebody, was real really to marketing, but they're, not really good with numbers and there's somebody who's real good with strategy, but there are no good at all with,
making, our boys lives, etc.
So by observation- is that I q are all over the place, but capable
They use tend to be silent, and if
put together the right people with the right silos of capabilities. You have a great team. Knower were kind of
that point in history where people work in teams for most stuff
either it's a real team or after work with a lot of people who have different skills. So
What really matters in my view of the world, is your talent stack,
which is how you layer together the things you ve learned to be useful in that thus far.
More predictive, then I q, sorry,
working with the right. People do have the right strategy to have a good talent stack and
That will tell you a lot about the individual and beyond that
whether or not there are differences with love.
You're populations, whether or not there are differences, male or female Agnes,
is etc. Are some euro somewhat?
intellectually interesting. But then
of any application to a decision making in the moment nothing
somebody walks into your room. If some,
watch your room and says
I need a job. You look at the person
that person neither has the skills they need or doesn't lay
the talents like this useful or not swallow it
so I'm not on the side. This says that there's something important about knowing IQ differences in large groups. It tell it as well
the you think should be important. Like your carbon sensors,
I think this is important. We should look at that
I'm not sure it is. I think that
regional differences are avoided
will block that user for being an idiot,
here's your words will be twisted. Yes, they will
so so Samuel
probably one of the best
defenders of liberal idea:
energy is being accused by another famous liberal of being a racist. Now
because he because he entertained this intellectual conversation. That is
their true or false. So is what
When you talk about a scientific analysis of something
These are true or false, and
we're gonna block all matters today.
And so before, Ezra to call
One of his own, a racist for simply looking at the air looking at the data, was
amazing and anyway, my point about all this is that I think some Harris is going to
accidentally become a Republican, and
the conservative big,
Cuz good experience. What it's like to be a deplorable.
And what I mean is I've been watching.
For two years. As perfectly
turn, racist conservatives are consistently being called racists, because,
I just have different approaches to make them
a better place
Now, I'm watching SAM Harris who like
good conservatives who are also now racists, he's just
I want to talk about data he's just trying to you.
Surface. A point of view, that's unpopular
and now he's been called the racist. So
he's getting a little taste of what the deplorable seven
so called deplorable said then putting up with.
Some areas has been called a racist for years because in his views on ISM, well there's another
for example, is of Gore
not being a race.
Anybody who thinks that doesn't matter
if I can take you seriously,
Islam is a way of thinking.
If there were a young,
if there were some religion whose only religious belief is that you should kill all Christians and that's
a massive as Islam, but if that, if such
Religion existed. Like
our religion is, we should just kill all the other religions.
I think we'd wanna, let
that religion into the country.
It would matter what ethnicity they were. There
points of view which the country
He thinks is not consistent with the constitution.
Well all right. So I see I have triggered most of you too
the question of citizenship, question on the next census. Well,
was interesting about that is, is,
hard for me to imagine,
a legitimate reason for not asking some
citizenship since
part of the point of these serve the census. As I understand it is that
you're trying to figure out how many, how many citizens live in each area, because that determines your earlier
determines what you're, how many votes you get, what what's its term
many factors we hear the senses determines the voting districts, cracked.
So assumes me. That's a pretty fair question
is whether whether you're a citizen who can legally vote
How is that not fair? It is the very
if one of the very purposes of the senses to figure out voting districts
So is it
almost funny to see people arguing that point list
an Coulter. Somebody said so
Culture, of course, is criticising the president for not not building his Wallace. He promised
not money to build his wall, I think she's one of the voices now
who were saying that he can declare an emergency and say
border is causing enemy combatants, you M thirteen or whatever to come across.
There are selling their drugs that are killing us.
I think her point of view is that the president can just allocate funds based on national defence. Now she's, the first lawyer
that I've heard way and on whether that would be illegal, and I
our point of view is: is it if you think
the commander in chief captain
Commander in chief think then you're just crazy.
So let me say that again, I think called
this point of view on paraphrasing here? Is it
Do you believe the commander in chief
doesn't have the power to secure our border against enemy combatants? How
defined.
Well, then, you're crazy. Does he.
He or she very much as that
and Responsibility
It doesn't matter what the budget is so
commander in chief is gonna commander in chief with
without a budget
Well, I don't know if that's
is cut and dried as she says.
Here the other side
I don't even know what the other side would be, because that
her arm themselves on the surface of it
It sounds unassailable that if the present
decided it was a national emergency defence emergency. They could do in every wants to secure the border. I think that much is true.
Keep in mind. That is a political decision is not just a legal decision
question is how much could this president or any other
massage definition of what national defenses to do
something that is not the standard? So there is a precedent that gets
That way, you might not want the other side down when they are in power, because it can't be
hard to say things are national emergencies. So
The thing I worry about
at the moment you say I are commander in Chief- can say:
everything's a national emergency and then,
all kinds of power to deal with it. So
I think you ought to be a little careful
about handing out elsewhere power you can and want to keep the.
The the big war decisions with Congress whenever you have time to do that, and I think
We have time in the case of the border.
By just one way or another argument.
He already has it well we'll see what does deal think about trumps allocation of defence of the wall.
Are those that climate change is a national emergency. I very go there, you go so
I knew there was a good example. I just can come up with it, so somebody came up with a good example:
if Trump says the border is a national emergency and he takes defence Monday and puts it into the wall.
Next time we have a Democrat as president. Can
I say.
The climate science as a national emergency and we'd better person, defence spending into real it now
to me. It sounds like a bad argument, but the
because guess the question is,
editor in chief, get away with a bad argument, because
You give the commander in chief under our system.
Lot of leeway you give the command
achieve a lot of flexibility, and we will
to do that? That's intentional,
intentional, where we give the commander in chief alarm leeway. Even even
reaching the constitutional.
Well, then, if we need to
That is the safest situation
it's also these situation
most right
or abuse so cuts both ways.
So my understanding is this is interesting.
Were hearing a little bit about Joe
else, ups trial about climate change?
No, it isn't gonna be as much fun as we thought, because, apparently it's not being televised, but the first.
Part of the trial, is the bull size are just educating the judge? That's what we're hearing
Ports of is that both sides are educating the judge on climate zones. My
you're standing from a report
I think I'd want to see confirmation of this measure. I believe it is that the question
of why. I think that the judge asked
Why are ocean sea levels?
Wire sea levels, not
Not uniformly, in other words,
if more water is in the ocean
Why isn't going up everywhere,
understanding. Is that the question when unanswered.
To which I said what
I'm pretty sure I can answer that one
understanding. Is that the reason that the ceiling
can go up in some places and not in others has to do with heat.
So the warmer the ocean, the near the greater its volume so
If you added warming in one part of the ocean and not another, you could have
situation where the ocean level went up and one part of the world, and maybe
went down or will not down, but
probably didn't change another now
Steve Goddard says, is land rising in different areas,
so there may be other factors like land, rising, etc, but.
Are you a little worried that experts
the court room and did not have an immediate answer for why the sea levels are not rising uniformly, because not enough
burden. I had half the answer that its
doesn't do with temperature.
Somebody says: it's not temperature, how could it not be temperature
I dont believe that somebody said it's not temperatures down
explain why sea level is rising in some places. There might not be all of the explanation, but I don't think
Ex, has an exception for heat making.
Things expand. So yes, there is
more warming in one part of the ocean that part of the oceans can expand right. I don't know that.
There's no way that can happen? Is it.
What arises where more ice is melting. Well, that would make the ice that would make the water rise everywhere.
Anyway. My point is not that I know the answer, but its shocking
that there was a that there were,
experts in a room and the judged not give an answer to what I would consider
one of the most basic questions. If it's true
The scientists can explain why the why the sea level is not going up uniformly.
I'm real worried about the state of the science.
Cosmo Maggie
Apparently there's a Walmart is pulling Cosmo off the off the shells, because it there
then it's contributing to the meat to culture that its pay,
a picture of women as such-
we'll beings- and, I guess
inviting bad behaviour, is the argument.
Now, given that Cosmo is
entirely built around the idea of empowering women we can see
Now two examples of the left eating his own. So if
five stars eating Cosmo magazine, and
The client is calling.
SAM Harris Racist when probably
ten years is probably the most famous non racist that I can think of.
These baseball is one more time
criticising people who are racist, then
most people have but a few
If he has dragged into a too
what a world what a world
Tell him the Germans will scholar races to for what.
John Paul Stevens, so I read the article there. Some exe
the Supreme Court
judge. Stevens wants to do away with the second amendment
that sounds like this answer,
a non story- second amount.
Going on. Yes,
it does look like the golden age. Sneaking up on us so
in predicting for some time that we would see the beginning of the golden age. The things that I
need to happen are
North Korea needs to be solved. I think
need to be working toward some kind
Better healthcare system or insurance
We're not doing that, so I think this essential, but good economy, everything else going well.
And I think, we're on the verge of
just everything going well,
somebody says I started the golden age. Well, the fund
thing is you'll, never know who started it, but I think it's coming.
You know, I ran maybe more solvable than we think.
Because here something where the rain.
I ran, doesn't really have
a winning strategy in which
they take over the world, were I just
don't see IRAN's winning strategy here they they were
going to deal looks a little bit. It's nothing
as to women in the world, but they are willing to deal so, which makes me think,
that their rational players and if
if a ran are rational player
I think they are
We probably have more flexibility to get something done than we think you know I don't
I dont fully understand
the iranian leaderships position
It's not clear to me.
Do. They really believes that taken
get rid of Israel at this point the or do they say
their brand of,
Islam will take over the world, are they just right
defending themselves against, maybe being
Were thrown
I don't exactly know
water ran once.
Remember when we originally talking about North Korea.
It. Wasn't the one thing that everybody who who claim to be an expert?
say about North Korea is that they were
If we get rid of their nuclear weapons because neutral
your weapons or more apart
of their national identity and their pride and everything else
and what is Kim Jong on saying every time he speaks about the current situation?
always says its heart. It's always been our plan to the nuclear eyes, so the boast now we'll see. If that's true,
its notable that he says it and he says it consistently and even says in his father and grandfather, one or two DE nuclear
rise to that's a very strong message. So the most based-
things we thought about Kim Jong on were he's era
national now
Now we believe he is not just rational but very rational. That's always been acting lately
and now we believe that they don't necessarily feel like they have to have nuclear weapons. So
everything we thought about North Korea just one year ago, completely wrong right. So, if you think about North Korea was,
was always presented as a military problem.
And never was it was
psychology problem
Let me say that again, north
It was never a military problem,
it was always a psychology problem,
and when we got a president trump. The first president
who understands. Psychology
the level that it needs to be understood
to get a good solution?
suddenly there's all kinds of movement,
of our assumptions have been shown to be false. Now, take this same concept and same pattern to ran
what does it? There is one thing that IRAN and North Korea have in common.
Listen my mind. They did. That is that the
the common way with that the news of the experts talk about them didn't
You'll like it made sense, so,
the entire time that I have been listening to experts talk about North Korea, never
it never worked for me,
the whole time I've been thinking, I don't think so,
it is far more likely. They want to stay alive,
rather than having nukes, they would rather have a good economy and a good relationship and sure enough
when, when the opportunity to get those things came up, looks like they might
looks like they might go after it around,
I fully understand their motives
like other know what they want and ITALY
You understand that we don't really know how to fix it, but
I'll. Tell you my gut feeling my gut feeling.
Is that the problem with IRAN is identical,
the problem with North Korea
and what I mean was what I mean
in both cases it look like.
A military problem when, in fact it was the psychology problem.
So I think, ran and
in the United States work.
Often, sort of a psychological trap-
or we can quite see what rare wants it wants as then state they kick.
I see what we want, what we're up to
and so we act militarily because this on,
only causes us to both
our defences up like aren't? We don't know what you're up to work in it.
But we know we need the fence.
Because we don't know what all this is about,
one thing were sure of wood around the strong defence soil. I think
Well, let me give you an example: the
the base presumption about ran. Does that
they were always want to destroy Israel,
as long as that is the case,
nothing that can be done. There
there is no way to get to a better place where the ran
if they have a rock solid, have
destroy Israel, no question about it, but ask yourself
Why do they have to destroy Israel
Why does a ran want to do that,
This again is a psychology problem.
Israel does not threaten,
militarily IRAN's existence accepted the extent,
but they think around might threaten their resistance. So if, if both countries,
simply decided that they didn't need to be a war with each other than they wouldn't be right there
fighting over scares me
forces that sort of thing. So
around the issue of psychology problem masquerading as a military problem. Now
if you believe that IRAN's real motive is to take over the world with Islam Origin,
Destroy Israel at all costs for some
religious reason, then there's nothing
can be done, but I believe that
They are rational actors. Who would
Take a better deal if they can find one. They just don't know how to find one
and that might be what President Trump can bring to the situation, though it might be that the only way.
To get a good outcome is to squeeze them the way he squeezed North Korea until
Their psychology changed
Can change their psychology by changing their their physical?
situation, so I think.
Ran could get real flexible real quickly if their situation changed.
Oh somebody made a good point. Somebody said I thought no one was a rational actor salami x,
I do say the people in general are irrational, but when you have you
but we still make rational decisions about things that were cut and dried sober
several of you said
Should we launch a nuclear weapon and destroy Russia tomorrow.
That would be a rational, but don't expect it.
Way to do it because around
No brains would keep us from doing that stuff.
We act a whenever we have the luxury but
It comes down to life and death.
You ve got enough people involved with a decision we usually are closer to rational. So we
You get closer to it. It's not a perfect situation.
Yeah ran, does not fear Israel. Well, they problem.
Fear it in the sense that they know is real
we'll take a hard line to them and has as long as they feel threatened.
Yeah. So anyway, we don't know, what's gonna happen with IRAN, but dont rule out the fact that it
just the psychology problem that can be fixed with
framing of the situation.
Yeah! It's rationality based on survival. Let's go.
I just reading your comments renew.
I will check you know, there's another time when there's more news Moran, but right now, it's all
We all the time. That's ok,
get those sorted out and I'll talk to you later.
