Chapter 1: What are the latest news updates?
Oh, no. We don't seem to be working. Well, I don't know if you can hear or see me, but it's not working on my end. I'm going to have to get out and get back in. Oh, there I am. Looks like we're here. Let me know if you see any major technical problems this morning. Well, stocks are mixed. Mine are up. But I hope yours are, too. All right, we got a show today. It's going to be the show of shows.
Possibly one of the best things you've ever seen. Just got to make sure I can see all my comments. Everything's looking a little slow today.
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
Do-do-do-do-do-do. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time.
But if you'd like to take this up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank of Charleston Stein, a canteen jug or a glass, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Darn it. Go. So good. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to find out what's in the news today? We'll start with some scientific golden age stuff.

Chapter 2: What scientific advancements are discussed?
Did you know that higher caffeine consumption is associated with improved social cognition and executive function, according to the Journal of Psychopharmacology? Well, I wonder if there was a faster way to find that out. Yes, you could have asked me. Coffee makes you better in every way. Would you be surprised to know that there's a battery breakthrough? Yet another one.
This one sounds pretty good. So according to Brighter Side News, there's a breakthrough that should extend electric vehicle range to over 3,000 miles on a single charge. So that would be 10 times what it is now. So they're looking at a 10 times improvement in technology. And all they did was...
They engineered a special binding material that prevents a high-capacity silicon anode from expanding, which is exactly what I've been telling them to do. I mean, how long have I been saying? You're going to get a lot more energy out of these things if only you would engineer a special binding material that prevents a high-capacity silicon anode from expanding.
Kind of obvious if you think about it. But the result is a lithium battery with 10 times the capacity of those with Ordinary, old-fashioned graphite anodes. Ugh, ugh, graphite anode. Who wants that when you can have 10 times better? Well, here's another scientific study that they could have maybe ignored.
Gilmore Health News reports that people are more likely to become friends with people who smell like them. So people are more likely to become friends with people who smell like them. Do you think that that science is reliable? Here's my first question. Don't you think you could reliably figure out who smells like you by looking at a picture of them?
If I showed you a picture, let's say if you were 25 and I showed you a picture of another 25 year old person with the same cultural background, And then I showed you a picture of a 90-year-old person from a different cultural background. Which one would you think you would smell more like?
You probably smell like people who look like you and act like you and have your same background and culture, eat the same foods, the same part of life, so you sort of smell different when you're young. Maybe you have the same kind of bath products because young people would use a different set of colognes and things than old people would. Do young people use cologne?
I don't even know if that's a thing anymore. But I'm going to say I don't believe the study because there would be too many things that would infect that study. By the time you smelled somebody, you've already seen them and probably made your decisions.
So, yeah, there's something, there's a correlation, but I don't think it's a, I don't think you can make friends by changing your smell unless you smell bad. Maybe that would work. Well, China has a spherical patrol robot. So it's about the size of a big tire on a car. And it's got rubber tread on it, except it's more circular. It's like an orb.

Chapter 3: What is the defamation lawsuit involving Jake Tapper?
But we can't say it's good now, that's for sure. So here's my take on that. So I think that identity politics is destroying the justice system. But how in the world does identity politics not destroy everything it touches? So if you were to say to me, Scott, we're going to take you back in time. There's been no DEI or CRT or any identity politics. But we're thinking about implementing it.
And we want to see what you think of this plan. So we're going to change the focus from merit... and everybody's an American, to we really need to help some groups more than others in special ways. And identity is a good way to really focus on who needs the extra help and making things fairer and better.
I would have said, huh, if you want your country to be successful, you need something like unity and brainwashing, basically, that makes everybody think they're on the same team. You know, America.
you do the opposite and you remind people that they're all special and different and they need to be treated uniquely and that maybe you owe them something on paper that should destroy the entire country right if i simply described it to you in objective language before any of it had ever been implemented you would have said oh that's the opposite of unity
Country needs unity like more than anything in each unity.
Otherwise, you're just bickering with each other and you'd be susceptible to external risk But if you're unified you build up this strong economy and everybody's doing well, and then you've got a strong military you're safe right, so the most dangerous thing you can do is change from America as an identity to identity is the main thing you're looking at which is the opposite of unity and
So he should have destroyed it. But it goes further. Remember I've taught you that we're not good at knowing what's real? That includes me, right? We have these impressions of what's real and we probably live in this subjective reality anyway and we're all filtering things through our biases, etc. So one of the things I teach you is that the closest you can get to reality is whether it predicts.
So do you have a worldview that can more accurately than chance predict tell you what's going to happen next, right? So for example, in 2015 when I said, whoa, this Trump fellow has a full toolbox of persuasion, I predicted that he would win against all odds. So probably that was an example of something like reality because it predicted.
A further prediction of identity politics would look like this. Since identity politics should destroy everything it touches, then you should see the things it touches first and hardest get destroyed first and hardest. Would you agree so far? That if you're going to make a prediction and you said, okay, I predict that identity politics will destroy everything it touches.

Chapter 4: How does identity politics affect justice?
But Jeff Bezos recently said, and I think Trump confirmed, that Bezos and Trump are going to have dinner. And Bezos, I think, was actually somewhat positive about Doge and bringing down the debt and some other things that Trump likes. So Bezos is very clearly and pointedly saying, there are some things I like about this Trump administration, and I'm going to see if I can embrace the parts I like.
which a lot of people are doing. So it does seem to me that the boss, Bezos, having a planned dinner with Trump probably did change the headline. Now, that doesn't mean that Bezos called somebody and said, hey, change that deadline or give me a positive headline or something like that. It could just be that the people who work for Bezos are reading the same news I am.
And when they find out their boss is going to be meeting with Trump, They realized that that would be a much better meeting if the headline said Trump did great in Europe, right? Would you send your boss into a meeting with Trump like a day after saying, the Europeans all laugh at Trump because he's such a big bully, right?
And then your owner is going to go have dinner with the guy that you just maligned? I feel like this might be a temporary truce where the Washington Post is going to be nice to Trump as long as Bezos is talking to him productively. So is that news? Is that fair and balanced? Or was it just another distorting effect causing them to distort in the other direction?
The distortion being that the owner is going to have a meeting with Trump. I don't know. But the only thing I know for sure is if you know the Bezos-Trump personalities involved, it seems to make more sense. Because I can't see them just independently deciding to be fairer to Trump. That doesn't make sense.
Anyway, as Matt Gaetz points out on X, Trump went to Europe to make peace and Biden was bombing Syria. And then I saw a claim today that our various military operations around the world, which seem to be permanent and ongoing, are how the deep state funds itself. And that Trump is a threat to the business model of the deep state.
So the deep state, under this telling, would be partly about power, but also more about money, because power and money are pretty related. And that there is this ability to funnel off a lot of money from anywhere there's a gigantic, expensive military operation. So that the real play is not so much that we care about these other countries, but rather they're all scams to feed the deep state.
Does that sound real to you? I feel like it's a little bit real.
meaning that i'm sure there are entities and individuals who benefit from every time we make a war so that part sounds true but i don't know that it follows that therefore the only reason we get into these wars is for the benefit of these deep state people who have figured out how to make a profit out of any large flows of money it's probably part of it but i think you have to get to the uh

Chapter 5: What are the implications of DEI in corporations?
Doesn't mean it's true, but it's coming from a credible source. All right, so Rasmussen reports, saying on X, that Orange County, California, so Friday after the election, So this is Friday after the election. At 6.45 p.m., a bomb threat came in that cleared the election counting center. Wait, what? There was a bomb threat? Right before they were ready to finish counting, there was a bomb threat.
And so they had to clear everybody out before they were done counting. So they did. And then the security live stream system was disabled during the search for the bomb because that would be a good time to disable your live stream cameras because they're looking for a bomb.
Would that be exactly the time you would want your live stream cameras to be extra on because there's something unusual happening in the place that you're monitoring?
And so if something unusual is happening in the place you're monitoring, to make sure that nothing unusual happened, why would it be turned off when the unusual thing happened, which is the only fucking reason for a live stream, to catch things that looked unusual? I don't know. Can you think of any reason? Then, two F-150 white vans with blacked-out windows arrived.
Now, that's with a question mark, so I assume that means somebody reported it happened. So we're a little less credible on this one because there's a question mark next to it. But the allegation is that some vans with blacked-out windows arrived just then and that there was a huge ballot discrepancy subsequently.
And if things had not gone the way they did in Orange County, it could potentially flip three seats that looked like they were going to be red, but they turned blue. It would flip them back to red. Three's a lot when your house is that close. Three's a lot. It's a major power difference. So let me read it to you again. You tell me if you think this election was at least attempted to be rigged.
A bomb threat 15 minutes before they were going to be done. Security live stream turned off. Suspicious vehicles arrive. And then there's a huge balance discrepancy. Doesn't that sound exactly like what it sounds exactly like? Now, again, I have to remind you for the millionth time, confirmation bias can get you to the same place.
If you were sure that things were rigged, then you would see things that appear to support that point of view. When maybe there were coincidences and maybe there was a real bomb threat and maybe the cameras just never worked the whole time and somebody just said they turned them off, but maybe they never worked. It could be a lot of things.
So I'm not saying that I can claim this is true, but it's out there and it's fun. Trump says he wants to end birthright citizenship in the U.S. He also said that when he was being interviewed by Welker. And he said, we're the only country that has it. We're going to end that because it's ridiculous. Did you know we're the only country that has birthright citizenship?

Chapter 6: What are the controversies surrounding Jay-Z?
So you don't always have to pay everything when you tell the truth. In his case, it looks like he's holding on. But you have to put it all at risk. So Elon put his entire social and business profile on risk to say the truth. So far, it's working. And so far, I'm still standing. So the truth is fighting. The truth still has some fight in it because there are some of us who are too attached to it.
So everybody says they're the ones who have the truth. It sounds weird when I say it. All right, that's all I got for you, ladies and gentlemen, for this Monday. I've gone on too long. I'm going to say hi to the... locals, people, just for a second, and then let you get on with your day. If you're on X or Rumble or YouTube, thanks for joining. I'll see you again. Same time tomorrow.
