i'm about to talk to trump persuasion expert and dilbert cartoon creator scott adams. why do so many states have lopsided congressional delegations? well, because of rigged electoral maps as we await a ruling before a similar wisconsin case before the supreme court, a federal court in north carolina just threw out that state's map. >>> plus -- >> i'm watching marco sweating like a dog, romney choked like a dog. choking like a dog. boy, does he choke like a dog. she lied like a dog. >> why does 45 keep using the word dog as a negative? because clearly he's not an owner. i am. i'm about to talk to best-selling author jennifer weiner about this presidential deficiency. >>> but first, you know how i feel. i have no doubt he said it. where it fits his m.o., he is no longer deserving of any benefit of the doubt. i'm not holier than thou when it comes to cursing. you can ask the people who hear me during our commercial breaks, but it's unacceptable behavior when coming from a president in an official meeting, especially when said about an entire class of people. and nor is th

scott: adam, thank you for fighting for florida's critical agricultural community, and all you have done to help the citrus industry, especially after hurricane irma. i want to thank chief justice labarga and members of the florida supreme court. i want to thank each of you for all of your service. [applause] gov. scott: i would also like to thank my wife, ann. there isn't a day that goes by that i am not thankful for your unwavering support. as first lady, you have done so much to help florida families. from visiting schools, to promoting literacy and helping find forever homes for kids in foster care, i am so proud of all you have done. you took a chance on me 45 years ago, a skinny kid without a penny in his pocket, who talked too fast, with only a dream. you have believed in me every day since then, including the day i told you i wanted to run for governor. when no one else thought i had a chance, you stood by me. i love you. [applause] gov. scott: i also want to recognize my son-in-law pierre and my oldest grandson, auguste. [applause] gov. scott: auguste wants to either be a paratr

. >> scott adams brought up in win bigley, a very funny book and worth reading that people in our society have different realities. we both saw the same thing. i watched a full 45 minutes. i saw something totally different than what you saw. i saw a guy with principle. we're going to put a wall up to protect our society. let me just finish, legitimate and legal immigration. milton freeman once said if you don't have a strong border, there is an economic incentive for people to move across the border into your welfare state. the united states thankfully does have a welfare position and provides a safety net for indigent people. i believe we should have that. paul ryan believes that. so does the president. but you then have to protect the people living inside the united states legally so you can protect the tax system, you can protect the services and the benefits. one of the things that the president believes, and he said and he referenced it today that border officials, dhs people believe that there has to be a wall in certain areas. >> that's what's always been said. he is new to this. t

scott adams is the creator of the dilbert comic strip.he admits his speaking engagements have taken a big hit since he began praising president trump on twitter. >> you were one of the few public people in america who saw this election coming long before anybody else. >> right. >> how? >> so i have a background in hypnosis. i have been interested in persuasion for years. in donald trump i saw the persuasion tools that i had been collecting over the decades. >> hi, everybody. >> he lists trump's fame, physical height and unflinching brassness, along with his infamous negotiating style. >> i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? >> what is it about his cadence and vocabulary? >> it is a whole bunch of things. the fact that it has to be briefed to be in a tweet works to his favor. >> it's like a cartoon. >> likewise, i am very successful on twitter because i know how to make short funny sentences. he knows as a persuader, someone trained in the ways of persuading that simple is alw

there is the argument made by some of his weird defenders like scott adams, the dill bert guy, that some is a form of prop gan diesing, like when he says no collusion 19 times, the real purpose of it isn't to ex-expose his own dementia but drill into people's heads that there was no collusion by using the phrase over and over and over again. that's not a deliberate strat y strategy, but it is an approach, hammering something home when he has one point to make. >> certainly as a new yorker you've known, been around or at least seen donald trump in new york media for most of your life. do you think donald trump is well, do you think he is mentally the same person today that he was five years ago, that he was 15 years ago, that he was 25 years ago? >> i think he's more like than not like. i met him in the late 1980s, and he doesn't sound to me appreciably different today from the way he sounded then. it's the same kind of blow-hard, self-important, catskills tone, the comedian way you talk without telling jokes. that has always been his manner. it doesn't seem any different now to me. >> wo
