Back to episode — Episode 650 Scott Adams - China, Hurricanes and More
Context —
Speaking of promises they're not keeping, let's talk about Hong Kong. I have two predictions about Hong Kong. Number one, China can't lose in the long run. They might have to pull back.

Because what does Swalwell think President Trump was supposed to be doing instead of golfing? Because I'm pretty sure that he told FEMA to do what it's going to do. I'm pretty sure that the government is all lined up to do whatever it needs to do. What exactly was the president supposed to be doing on the weekend, waiting for the hurricane? Because I don't think he could have flapped his arms and made it go away.
So this fake outrage that somebody taking the weekend off, no matter how often he doesn't, I'm pretty sure taking the weekend off is a good thing, not a bad thing. So there's that.

Do you believe that the Taliban and the United States have a peace deal and it might work? Well, I don't know. I mean, I love to think it is…
