Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
Come on, comments. There we go. Everything's working just perfectly today. That's the way I like it. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human 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 a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, 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 hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. So good. Well, let's check in with the science. Sure enough, morning coffee drinkers have 12% lower risk of all-cause mortality. But apparently, that's a new study, but apparently, you gotta get it in the morning.
Chapter 2: How does morning coffee affect longevity?
For some reason, if you wait till the afternoon to have your coffee, your all-cause mortality is not that much better. But get it early, and you're gonna live forever at this rate. In other science... According to study finds, there's a desert plant that shows promise as a treatment for colorectal cancer. Now, I don't know how they deliver it, and I'm just hoping it's not a cactus.
Well, let me check. Oh, it's a shrub. Yeah, a shrub would be no problem. I've tried to cure my colorectal cancer. I don't have that, but if I did, I would sit on the cactus if I thought it would help. Anyway, it's only a shrub. It shouldn't be so hard. In insider trading, Nancy Pelosi's husband made some more excellent calls.
Of course, we're assuming that he knows a little bit too much because Congress has insider information sometimes. But I was looking at a couple of the examples And the two examples of his insider trading are that he somewhat recently sold his Apple stock and a good chunk of his Nvidia, but not all of it. Those are the same trades I made. I don't have any insider.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of insider trading?
You don't need any insider knowledge to trade those two things. Apple is at a point where AI is likely to disrupt their whole business model, and it doesn't appear that they're extra good at AI. So I sold mine because I thought, you know, Apple went from sort of a monopoly kind of a company to anything could happen at this point. And as you know, NVIDIA, even before the new news,
It had such a run that it would be time to take some money off the table. So you have to be careful with these insider trading stories. If the insiders are making exactly the same trades as the outsiders, like me, literally, it's the only two stocks I sold, I think. No, there was one other that was a special case.
But if I'm making the same trades at about the same time, I do believe that insider trading is a real thing and it should be addressed. But not everything they sell. Sometimes it's just obvious stuff. Well, men are becoming more obsolete than ever, according to brighter side of the news. Scientists have figured out how to use stem cells in mice to make their own mouse sperm.
And so that the female mouse doesn't need like a real mate or real sperm. They can just make it out of some kind of stem cells. So let me look ahead. Let's see. We're about a year away from robots doing everything that men can do that requires strength. So we don't have the strength thing going for us. But at least we're the only ones who can make sperm.
Okay, we're not the only ones who can make sperm now. I guess the scientists can whip it up in the lab. Whip it up in the lab, if you know what I mean. No, really, it's from stem cells. How do we know it's from stem cells, though? I don't trust those scientists at all, if you know what I mean. Anyway, men are obsolete. We'll be in about a year.
So here's another one of my unbelievably good predictions. So good, I wonder why you listen to anybody else. Remember when I told you that I sold my, NVIDIA stock a while ago because I thought there'd be some major disruption, some technology that showed you didn't have to do these big data centers and whatnot.
And sure enough, so DeepSeek comes out, the Chinese open source AI that costs 5% to make and it's almost as good. But I also predicted... and here was my more clever prediction, that you shouldn't be that afraid of it, at least in terms of disrupting America's AI.
Because first of all, America AI would keep moving forward and probably they have some advantages because of the big training facilities that they have that DeepSeek does not. But I also told you that the government of the United States would organize against it. So to make it illegal or there would be lawsuits. Basically, it would just be tied up in all kinds of legal maneuvers like TikTok.
You know, TikTok being caught up in the government political process. So I was pretty sure that it would be heavily attacked. And sure enough, here's what we know. OpenAI is looking into complaints that maybe it was trained on just looking at OpenAI. Now, I'm not sure I believe this next part, but it comes from people who know way more than I do.

Chapter 4: How is AI disrupting industries?
Anyway, speaking of that, apparently an armed man was arrested in the Capitol who authorities say planned to kill what the armed man called Nazis. Huh, Nazis. Hmm. Where would he get that idea? And that included, in his view, Pete Hagseth, Mike Johnson, and Scott Besant, if I'm pronouncing that. Is it Besant or Besant? The Treasury Secretary, new Treasury Secretary. Now, here's my question.
What news source would he possibly be watching that would make him think that that there were actual Hitler-like characters in the United States government and he would have to take action because it's so real. Could it be MSNBC? Now, you want to get a real shock? Why does Joy Reid still have her job? Is it because her ratings are good? No, they're not even good on MSNBC.
They're not as good as her peers, as far as I can tell. And, oh, but she keeps her job. Why is that? Why do you think that is? Is it absurd and silly, just calling Trump Hitler all day long and nothing really else to say? Well, here's what I worry about. Don't we generally hear that MSNBC and NBC tend to be some of the most controlled news, meaning it's not really news, it's a propaganda thing,
you know, are internal intelligence people. CIA seem to have some kind of connection with some news sources more than others. And it is generally widely considered by people who follow this sort of thing that MSNBC is a controlled news platform, meaning that they're kind of doing what the intelligence people want them to do. And so my question is this.
Is Joy Reid only employed because she says Trump is Hitler? And is that what the intelligence people want MSNBC to say? Because if they didn't want them to say it, she would already be out. So the disturbing thing is that the whole Hitler, Hitler, Hitler thing appears to be either approved by or actually initiated by our own government. That's what it looks like.
Now, there's no way to know that from my perspective, but if it's true that MSNBC is just a CIA fake news outlet, which it appears to be, I mean, all the indications, it really doesn't seem like they're being serious about any kind of news. It doesn't look like they're even trying. So, I guess I have a question. Is that what our own government is selling us?
Is there a part of our government that's selling us that the government is a Nazi government? That doesn't seem like a good idea. Anyway, Trump finally revealed, not personally, but there was an announcement that the drones over New Jersey were authorized by the FAA for research and others were just normal commercial traffic.
just normal drone traffic, all licensed and approved, and some of it for research. So how many of you guessed it was aliens or an Iranian or Chinese attack? If you guessed Chinese or Iranian attack or some kind of surveillance or aliens from another planet, you're not winning this round. My prediction was it was going to be normal, approved,
But I also suggested that there might be some things up there that we've not seen before, possibly because they're doing a bake-off to maybe show their products to somebody like the government before the government makes a decision on what vendors to buy stuff from, specifically drones. So I don't know if that's true, but they're calling it research. It seems to me that you wouldn't...

Chapter 5: What role does MSNBC play in political narratives?
The certain way to fail is low energy. The certain way to fail, and by the way, failing to cut the budget is the end of humanity. I mean, it would be the end of the United States, and God knows what would follow. because the world has a lot of dependence on the United States. We'd survive, but we might be living in tribes or something.
So the level of risk involved in continuing to spend the way we are is really it's 100% doom. So doing what we're doing in the normal way is 100% doom. There really is no escape. If you go wild...
with let's say putting full energy into cutting costs and you cut too deeply what is the risk of that well there's definitely risk there is risk is risk to individual um individual components of the country and that's real and we should we should be smart about those risks and we should try to adjust and we should try to make it easy on people when it makes sense but You got to do it.
That's the important thing. If you don't put full energy into cutting and disrupting and shaking the box and getting rid of people before you fully investigate it, you can't get there. You just can't get there from here. Any kind of a low energy traditional attack would be, well, I've created a committee. And the committee will be spending 18 months researching what should be cut.
And the way they'll research it is they'll ask the opinions of the people they plan to cut. Hey, you're in charge of this department. How much should we cut? What? You don't want to be cut? You have to increase 20% next year because otherwise the world will come to an end? Oh. Well, we'll put that together in a report, and then we'll go back to the government in 18 months.
Oh, but we're a little late, so we had to delay. It really took two years. Oh, wait a minute. We're halfway through Trump's entire term. No point in doing it now because they'll just fight it, and it'll never get done before the end of the term. No, you cannot do a low-energy major cut. You have to go high-energy, high-mistake. High-energy? High mistake. It's the only path.
And the only people who are smart enough to know that are Elon Musk, Trump, and Vivek would know it. Sachs would know it. Ackman would know it. I'm sure Andreessen knows it. I'll bet you you can't find anybody with a high IQ to disagree. Let me lay down the gauntlet here. I say nobody...
Nobody who's got a high IQ, and the Trump administration is just freaking geniuses at this point, not one of them would disagree with going high energy, high potential mistake, versus our ordinary study it to death and do nothing approach. And it's going to be hard to educate the people who don't have experience that it's the only way. We ran out of options. We only have one way to survive.
This is it. This is it. And by the way, this is not an exaggeration. This is for survival. And I don't think I've ever said that before. Usually everything else is, well, we're trying to optimize, we're trying to avoid some trouble. No, the debt, this is survival. And we have to put 100% into it. All right, this is interesting.

Chapter 6: What are the latest developments in immigration policy?
But there is a political risk because Elon's out there. So if people decide they don't want a self-driving car because they don't like his politics, that could be a problem. Well, D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, he's conducting this internal inquiry as to why prosecutors brought the post-Enron statute for the first time against the January Sixers. So
Some 300 of the January 6th protesters got felony counts for some obscure law that had been designed only for Enron, I guess. And to have it apply in this context was kind of a stretch. And some people would say that it was too much of a stretch. So Ed Martin's going to look into this and figure out if those prosecutors had gone too far.
Yeah, Tesla's earnings statement is out today, coincidentally. Meanwhile, New York's Attorney General Letitia James, she's going to sue the Trump administration for trying to freeze those federal funds on what she thought were, I think she fell for the hoax, I think she thought it was going to stop direct payments to people who get direct payments, but it's not.
It's going to stop stuff like DEI and funding illegal immigration, things that are far less controversial. But here's the thing. So her claim is that the president can't pause funding because it's a congressional thing. Maybe. But I've never seen anybody who was more like a like a movie villain, Letitia James. There's something about the way she looks and the way she talks.
There's just extra chilling. And we're going to get Trump. I can't even do an impression, but damn, she's got the, the evil genius. You know, it's like she, she has a Dr. Evil's, you know, twin or something. She's got that down. Um, So Caroline Leavitt, the new spokesperson for Trump, had her first press conference, and I would give it an A+.
It was really... It could have been the best one I've ever seen. You know, I haven't seen every press conference, but... So McElhinney... Am I saying that right? McElhaney. No, McElhaney was the standard. And she was great and pretty much flawless and often created headlines just from her good answers and stuff. But Caroline Leavitt was perfect. She didn't need a binder.
She spoke to everything confidently, quickly, very clearly. She knew the reporters by name. Her answers were real answers and not a bunch of evasions and word salad. And it's kind of terrible for the last spokesperson, Corrine Jean-Pierre, because we're going from unambiguously the worst press secretary of all time to one of the top two of all time.
although Dana Perino was probably in that top category as well. So the Republicans have had two or three that are the best we've seen. And at what point do Democrats notice? It seems like they notice that their own spokesperson was completely incapable of doing the job and that the Trump ones are great. Well, how are the other countries doing? Let's check in internationally.
0.3%?

Chapter 7: How is Trump addressing the Panama Canal situation?
And you can get 15 years for looking at what they labeled far-right. 15 years in prison for reading. 15 years in prison for reading because you read the wrong stuff. Now, that doesn't even sound real, does it? I don't know if this is a law that already passed or is being considered. I forget.
But the fact that it's even on the discussion, 15 years for looking at far-right material, doesn't that create a little bit of a risk that they can redefine what far-right means? Well, it used to mean what we really meant was you're agreeing with Hitler. But now it means that you're agreeing with Trump. Because, you know, Trump is Hitler. Obviously, A plus B. So the UK is just completely broken.
That's just completely broken. But according to the Jerusalem Post, the Saudis and Israel are getting closer to some kind of breakthrough understanding where they recognize. I guess the big thing is getting Saudi Arabia involved. to recognize Israel in a full way, because that would be shocking historically. But they're getting close, apparently. That's the report anyway.
There are lots of things that can derail a thing like that, such as October 7th, the last time the Saudis and Israel looked like they were getting close to agreeing on something big. That's when Iran acted. So there could be Another big thing coming to stop it from happening. We'll see.
Iran doesn't have much in the way of assets left after Israel took out Hezbollah's big weapons and Hamas's big weapons and the Syrian-Iranian proxies. So it could be that this is exactly the right time to get that Saudi-Israel thing done. Here's a funny story.
So Denmark, which controls Greenland and doesn't want to give it to or sell it or anything to Trump, they decided to beef up their security. So they're going to spend $2 billion to improve their own national security over there. But if you wanted to know what it was before, so this is the entire... This is the entire Greenland national security. You ready?
Currently, there are four aging inspection vehicles. Now, does an inspection vehicle even have a gun? Do they? I mean, if it's an inspection vehicle, in theory, it would have some force. So maybe there's a gun on it. I don't know. But they've got four of those. They've got a Challenger surveillance plane and 12 dog sledge patrols to monitor an area four times the size of France.
Four dog sledge patrols. But not to worry, they're going to upgrade their military to include three new Arctic Navy vessels, okay, and doubling the number of planned long-range surveillance drones to four, from two to four, as well as satellite surveillance. So that should protect them in case America wants to conquer them. But then I found out this.
According to a Danish politician, they've done the math. Did you know that the U.S. military has three to four hundred soldiers in Greenland already? That's normal. It's not new. We've got 300 to 400 military already in Greenland. America does. And what are they doing there? They're part of an early warning radar defense. So they're operating a radar defense.
