Chapter 1: What is Coffee with Scott Adams?
civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker gels, a stein, a kenteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure that dopamine here today makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Today with extra oxytocin. Go. Oh, that's good. By the way, for those of you who have not figured it out, this isn't really the show that you watch to get the most accurate news reports. Although we try our best.
This is the live stream you watch because you like having a secret friend. So I'm like your friend who you don't have much to say, but your friend is very talkative. So you just sort of let them run on while you're getting about your business. So that's what I am. I'm your invisible secret friend. Yeah, just for you. Now let's talk about some things.
Would you be surprised that there's some new science about coffee that's good for you? Yes, in Parade magazine. In case you wondered, it does hydrate you. So some people say, don't drink coffee because you'll pee too much and you'll be dehydrated. No, the science says that for regular amounts of coffee, if you don't have too much, that it adds more to your hydration than it subtracts.
Chapter 2: How does coffee affect hydration?
So it's good for you. Did you know how many people around the US and even around the world do not drink coffee? Let me see. It's a well-known wonder drug that's good for you in almost every possible way that a thing could be good for you. What percentage of the world would not do the thing that's universally good for everybody? What percent would not? Yeah, that's right.
That's right, 27% is the exact number. A quarter of the country will get every question wrong. It doesn't matter what the question is. And this is the case. 73% of Americans drink coffee every day. So 27%, you've got some explaining to do. And you'd be amazed to know there's a breakthrough in EV batteries. Another one, yes. In this case, Wonderful Engineering is reporting...
Chapter 3: What are the latest breakthroughs in EV batteries?
They've got a battery now that's, I think it's a regular lithium, but they souped it up so they got 5 million miles on one battery and 20,000 charges. And it's so robust that it might, if they can get to the point where it lasts longer than the car, then you can throw the rest of the car away, take the battery out, and it might be, let's say, 80% still useful.
and just use it as a battery backup for your house. So think about that. There might be a market coming for repurposing batteries that came out of your car. You just use them at your house. Maybe. What I think they really need to do is develop a battery made entirely from coffee. Because if you've been paying attention, coffee can do it all.
So I'm pretty sure you could make a battery out of coffee that would be better. Elon Musk said yesterday on X, he predicted that 98% of vehicles will be electric eventually. What do you think? Do you think 98% of vehicles would become electric? And that there will still be gas-powered cars, but it would be kind of like using a flip phone. Somebody's going to do it, but it'll be rare. I think so.
You know, if you had not listened to my live stream every day, and I don't know why you wouldn't, you wouldn't know that there's a breakthrough in battery technology just about every day. And if we keep having breakthroughs in batteries, it kind of guarantees that all of your cars are going to be electric because the economics are all just moving in one direction.
It's not like gas is getting that much cheaper. But electricity might if we build enough nuclear power plants and do that kind of stuff. But I'd like to use this as an example of a investment approach. So I don't know if I've heard anybody talk about this investment approach.
Now, I don't give investment advice, specific investment advice, so I'll just put this out as a hypothesis, but it's one I've used, and it seems to work. It goes like this. If you're trying to pick winning companies, you're probably going to lose, like 95% of the time, you might get lucky. You might get lucky 5% of the time, but you're going to lose about 95% of that.
So in general, you should get an index fund and diversify and just let it do what it does. But there's one thing I've been tracking for my entire life to see if it would be an investment opportunity. And there's one thing that appears to me to work way more than half of the time
And that is that when there's a one-time change in the economy, if you bet on the strongest company that's involved in that one-time change, like I mean one time ever, like it'll never happen again, then you could probably make money.
For example, in the early days of personal computers, there was only one time in human history when personal computers would go from nobody has one to everybody has one. That's only once in human history that'll happen.

Chapter 4: How will electric vehicles change the automotive landscape?
So Tesla is the leading company in a thing that will happen only once in human history. which is gas automobiles will be dismissed in favor of electric.
So I don't give investment advice, but I would point out that if you can find anything that's going to happen only once in human history, and it's unavoidable and it's definitely going to happen, you probably have a two out of three chance of picking a super winner. and at the lot. It's not 100%, but it would go from a coin flip to two out of three, I think, pretty quickly. All right.
According to study finds, climate change was greatly overestimated because oceans cool the Earth in more than one way. So one of the ways that apparently we did not realize until recently is that... The ocean puts off sulfur gas produced by the marine life. I don't know if it's fish farting or what they're doing, but some kind of marine life puts off sulfur.
Apparently, that's a really powerful chemistry to put into the atmosphere because it produces a lot of cooling, more than you'd think, I guess. Now, how many times have I read you a story about a major variable that had been missed in climate change and now they have to put it in there? But now now everything will be good.
I mean, it was almost perfect, but now we made this little tweak even better. It feels to me that our confidence in the in the models. Tell me if I'm wrong. The confidence the science had in their models when they had, oh, let's say 10 major variables completely wrong is exactly the same as their current confidence when they believe they've accurately added 10 more variables.
And surprisingly, it didn't really change the model at all. Now, if you know what to look for in terms of scams, I know this one could not be screaming any louder. that the climate models are basically bullshit. Now, what I'm not saying, because I know I'll get quoted out of context, I'm not saying the Earth isn't warming. I wouldn't know. How would I know?
And I'm not saying that humans have nothing to do with it. Again, how would I know? The only thing I know is what science tells me, and science is so lying about anything important that it's like nothing happened. It's as if science didn't even weigh in. It has no credibility whatsoever at this point.
So when I look at climate models and you see that they keep adding major variables, major variables, like, oh, we didn't realize the sun was doing all this. Oh, the cloud cover. Oh, it turns out that the oceans, in at least three different ways, is more of a counteracting of heat than we thought.
So if you ever see that the model worked when it was all completely different, and amazingly, it still works now after you've changed all the assumptions, that's bullshit. That's bullshit. One of two things should have happened after 10 years of finding out we have major, major variable problems. Either they should have said, well, it looks like it's way less of a problem than we thought, or...

Chapter 5: What new insights are emerging about climate change?
Inflation is up more than people thought, if you believe statistics, which I don't. So I'm not even going to talk about that. I don't believe economic statistics.

There's a new P. Hegseth hoax that fortunately got debunked in time. So apparently West Point's public affairs office lied to a publication called ProPublica, and they said that P. Hegseth never even applied to West Point. I guess P. had said he had applied, but didn't go there. And it turns out that Hegseth actually kept...
The letter that he got in 1999 that was a West Point acceptance letter, he actually had it. He actually kept the record. When does that ever happen? And I guess ProPublica tried twice to follow up to make sure that West Point really, really checked the records and they really knew for sure that he had not applied. And they swore that he had not applied.
And then he showed the letter that showed he'd applied. And it was accepted. Well, if you haven't seen it yet, there's a clip going around by the Trigonometry podcast guys that is just really good. I highly recommend it. I'm going to give you the highlights. But they had a British academic, smart guy, Rafe Hadel Manku.
And he was trying to explain why the West has apparently, the Western civilization has apparently had more genius and exceptionalism than a lot of other places. Now, this is why he says, I'm not so sure that we've got only genius and exceptionalism. I don't know about that. But what he says about it is fascinating. So hydrated, good coffee.
What he says is that one of the reasons the West did well in the last several hundred years is that the Catholic Church banned cousin marriages. Did you know that? That was a little bit of history I wasn't aware of. I mean, I knew that we don't do cousin marriages, but I didn't know that there was some specific point at which history turned on that.
But I guess the Catholic Church at one point banned cousin marriages. Now, this part is a little unclear to me, but if I understand it, Once you've banned cousin marriages, you're going to drift toward nuclear families that are not related to the rest of your family.

Chapter 6: What’s the truth behind the New Jersey mystery drones?
I saw a clip with a bunch of people after the election talking, some on each side, and somebody named Sarah Longwell, must be a journalist associated with the left-leaning politics. She said that Trump won because he does more lying and therefore he's better at it. Now, I'm paraphrasing, but I think that's pretty close to what she said, that Trump lies about everything,
Therefore, he got a lot of practice at it, and then he was really good at it, and then that excellent lying is what put him over the top. Does Sarah Longwell think that the Democrats didn't do any lying? How could you be alive for the last eight years and think that Trump is just all by himself off there lying? I sure like that everybody else is telling the truth.
But that Trump, he's the one politician that lies. And again, I always say that you can't evaluate the lying by the quantity of them. Trump did infinite interviews. So if he had any one thing he said that was like a little hyperbole, he would say it in all of his interviews. And then they would count them as, well, there's one, there's one, there's one.
Meanwhile, the Democrats would be putting together this massive intelligence-led FBI-supported hoax with many moving parts and getting the media involved in the really big lies, like the really big ones, like the fine people hoax and the Russia collusion and the drinking bleach hoax and all those other things, like big, organized, multi-member
thousands of people involved in the media keeping the lie alive and knowing it and knowing that they were keeping the lie alive. They knew it. How do you compare that to Trump saying that your TV might go off if the wind stops blowing? When you know it's just I verbally. And they would just count that as one lie for Trump and none for them because they think the hoaxes are real.
Imagine thinking that the Democrats have been telling the truth for eight years. How could you even function? You would be so confused about anything you saw if you thought your team was telling you the truth all the time. Anyway, Zuckerberg and Meta have donated a million dollars to Trump's inaugural fund. Now, that's a pretty clever move. So as you know, Zuckerberg
is trying to disassociate himself from the crazy left. He's not trying to make himself part of the right. He would just like to be less involved in the political stuff because it didn't work out when he did it. So he probably knows he didn't help. He may have hurt for $400 million. He may have spent $400 million making things worse.
So I think he's learned his lesson because if there's one thing you can say about Mark Zuckerberg that everyone should agree with, he is really smart. I don't know if you noticed, but he's really smart, like crazy smart. So yes, when he does something that doesn't work and then he adjusts, that's that smarter thing. There it is. So he failed like an American.
And instead of wallowing in his shame forever, he said, oh, well, that didn't work. What do we do now? Oh, We'll donate to the inaugural process because that's not really donating to the politics of it. Perfect. That's perfect. So he's helping out, giving his million, which is not much for them.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of cousin marriage bans?
they have to somehow shed everything they've ever said and thought before because it was identity based like this was. So common sense screams that this poor Jordan Neely guy should have gotten some help and you wish the government had some kind of facility to do it. So we can certainly agree on that. Um, According to Carrie Pickett, writes for the Washington Times, the FBI is
trying to anti-Trump the FBI before he gets there. So Christopher Wray said he would be, I guess, retiring from that job before Trump gets in office so he doesn't have to get fired. That's a good play. But before he does that, he's also apparently doing a bunch of promotions. So he's promoting people into positions that unless Trump's FBI guy gets rid of them,
There might be a lot of people who don't like Trump in major FBI positions. So this is from an inside source. And they're planning to slow walk the new FBI director's entry into the agency for three to four months. So they're literally plotting to make sure that their own management can't be effective.
Now, if any of that's true, 100% of them need to be fired, or at least the ones involved with it. If they're literally just trying to make changes so it's harder for Trump to do his job, everybody involved with that needs to get fired, even if you got promoted yesterday. If you're any part of that.
No, it's not your job to make it hard for your boss to do the job of the people of the United States. No, you need to be fired for that. Well, Cenk Uygur has been going on some conservative podcasts, and he said this. He thought that the left needed to hear. He said, two amazing things just happened.
First, I went on about a half a dozen right-wing shows, and they all agreed, he says in Capitals, we should cut the Pentagon, prevent generals from working for defense contractors, and Edward Snowden should be pardoned. And he says the second thing is that absolutely no one on the left believes the right. So six out of six podcasts all said, yeah, we like all that stuff.
And not a single person on the left believes that's true. What do these things all have in common? Cutting the Pentagon, preventing generals from becoming defense contractors, and Pardoning Snowden. Now, the Snowden one's a little different, but the first two are just common sense. Common sense tells you the Pentagon has some bloat. Of course you want to cut it, the bloat.
And preventing generals from having a conflict of interest, that's not political. That's just common sense. That's just basic common sense. So how weird is it that Republicans who are the common sense party for the most part, offer common sense opinions on common sense things, and the Democrats are like, oh, no, I don't believe that. I don't believe that at all. They're pretty gone. Pretty gone.
Anyway. My opinion is this. I think there's only two ways for somebody to become president and stay president without being assassinated. And I think that you either have to agree in advance, or they know in advance, that you're going to start major optional wars. So that feeds a military industrial complex, extra wars.

Chapter 8: How is failure perceived in American culture?
The food industry is mostly criminals. That was my experience. It was the most corrupt thing I've ever seen. I've worked at banking, and bankers are not angels all the time, but they run a pretty clean shop. They weren't all criminals. They were just doing their job. Phone company. I worked for the phone company for years.
Not all go-getters, but they were good people, honest mostly, just trying to do their job. But my experience in the food distribution and grocery industry, I think they're pretty much all crooks. I saw some shit you don't even want to know about. It's almost a criminal enterprise. So I have no evidence that they've suppressed indoor farming innovations.
But I'd love to talk to Kimball Musk about it. I know he was into indoor farming. He would know the real story. So maybe I'll look into that. PJ Media is reporting that the mainstream media finally admits Obamacare is a failure, but primarily in cost. It's a success in signing people up. So that's what the Democrats say. But it would be a failure in controlling costs. Just so you know.
Rachel Maddow's ratings have tanked along with MSNBC in general. So OAN is reporting. that, so she's now got, her show went from five days a week where she was paid $30 million and she was like the face of the network. Then she, for her own personal reasons, had to go back to one day a week, just Monday, and she got paid the same because she was still on contract.
Then when the contract was to be renewed, still working one day a week, they negotiated that she would get $25 million. for one day a week. So let's go back to my hypothesis and prediction. Remember my prediction that DEI kills everything it touches. But the prediction is that it kills first and fastest wherever it is introduced first and most aggressively.
So wherever it's introduced early and aggressively, those places will die first. So that's how you know DEI is toxic because there should be a perfect correlation between how aggressive and early you were in it and how soon you die, you know, your organization. So imagine trying to sell MSNBC when one of your stars works one day a week for $30 million. Nobody would buy that.
But why did they have to keep paying her so much money? Does it have to do with the fact that she is a lesbian and a woman? Is it DEI? Probably. Now, I can't say that for sure because you'd have to be in the room with them to know what's real. But the prediction is if you go early and hard at DEI, you will destroy yourself pretty quickly. MSNBC went early and super hard at DEI.
And now they've got somebody who's not doing much work. They're paying $30 million. Probably Joy Reid can't be fired. And she's making them look like idiots. Management. She makes the management look like idiots. And that's got to be DEI. So I think MSNBC is added to the list of examples of the sooner and the harder you go on DEI, the sooner and more guaranteed your destruction.
So just look for the pattern. The sooner and the harder you go on DEI, the sooner you're destroyed. Well, the defense who defended Daniel Penny is considering going after DA Alvin Bragg for malicious prosecution. So that would be a lawsuit, so it wouldn't be criminal.
