Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?
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 in your whole life. But if you'd like to take this experience up to another level, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker shells, a sign, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.
Chapter 2: What are the highlights from the Grammys?
I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's happening now. So satisfying. Well, did anybody watch the Grammys last night? If you did, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Did anybody have the experience I had? I tried to watch a little bit of it, and I was just so grossed out.
So first of all, the aesthetic, just sort of the look of the whole thing, it seemed to be like a drag queen on LSD. Now again, if you like your drag queens, I don't care what anybody does as an adult, but as a design aesthetic... I don't know. It just looked like it was a little too much of whatever is too much. But here's the overwhelming thing I thought.
Chapter 3: How does the Diddy controversy affect perceptions of the Grammys?
Could you get it out of your mind, all the Diddy stuff? So, in the wake of the Diddy stuff, you know, they got lots of attention on Jay-Z and Beyonce, because Beyonce won, I guess, the album of the year or something. And They brought their 13-year-old daughter. Now, you know that Jay-Z is being accused of something with a 13-year-old, not his daughter, right?
Just to be clear, there's no accusations about anything with the daughter. But he's being accused of some bad behavior with a daughter. Now, I don't know if it's true. He's innocent until proven guilty, unless it might be a civil thing. I think it might be a civil thing, not a criminal thing. But I'm not sure. Actually, I'd need a fact check on that. Is it criminal or civil?
But all I could think about was that. And every person they showed on screen, I thought to myself... Did you have to, you know, go to a ditty party to get where you're at? Because I wonder. So the whole thing to me looked like a bunch of sex offenders and their victims. And they were dressing in drag and looking like they were all on LSD.
And I thought to myself, it's not just because I'm old, right? Now, I get that at some age you don't connect with the modern music. But I've never really had that problem. You know, if the music is good, I tend to like it, no matter what genre it is or anything else. But there was just something deeply, disturbingly broken about the vibe of the whole thing.
And I think it's because the Diddy thing just is like a wet blanket on the whole situation. But then Ye shows up with his wife, or not wife, wife? Yeah, wife, Bianca Sensore. And as he likes to do, she drops her fur jacket for the cameras and is wearing only a transparent cover-up that doesn't cover anything.
She's literally just naked with something that's like a dress but not, you know, because it's transparent. And they make sure everybody gets a good look and everything. And I'm trying to think, well, what's behind that? It's not mental illness. And Ye may have some issues with mental illness. But I don't think that's what's behind that. It looks strategic.
It looks like he knows how to get attention. But it looks to me like revenge on his ex-wife. Now, I'm just reading minds here. I have no idea what anybody's thinking. But when I watch him go that far over the top... It's almost like he's sending a message to Kim Kardashian that maybe you should calm down your, let's say, sexual presentation of your brand while you've got kids.
Because I believe he complained about that, right?
didn't didn't say yeah he tried to get kim to tone it down because it seemed inappropriate in front of kids so instead of going with that approach of hey maybe you should tone it down in front of the kids he goes with all right if you're not going to tone it down let's see how far we can take it so it's almost like he's challenging kim to say that he went too far

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Richard Grenell's role in Venezuelan repatriations?
And it's vulnerable in a really bad way. So now we know that, I guess, Denmark has softened to the point of saying, well, the people in Greenland have to decide. And I saw at least one poll that said 57% of Greenlanders want to become part of the United States, but I don't believe that. I think it's more likely that the Greenlanders want to be left alone and have their own autonomy.
So it looks like they may have offered that the U.S. can have a lot more military presence in Greenland, but that it wouldn't be controlling the government. Does that work? Let me describe what it means if the entire military in your country is from another country. If you agree that your entire country will be populated with someone else's military, you just handed over the country.
The only reason it's safe is that we don't give a shit about their tiny population of Greenlanders, and we wish them well. When I say we don't give a shit, I don't mean that we dislike them. We like them. I mean, Don Jr. went there. They got along great. They seem like terrific people. And I hope that they get as much autonomy as they want, and I hope they do great. But if the U.S.
military is the only military in the country, I'm not sure you can exactly say that that's autonomous. But if it works for them, and it might, it might, as long as we agree to leave them alone politically, because they're not doing anything that would hurt us, right? They're completely harmless. They have no ill will toward the United States. We have no ill will toward them.
Maybe they can just do their thing, get richer, maybe make some deals with America. Maybe there'll be some American enterprise working there, give them some more jobs. To me, it's all upside. It looks like it's all upside for them and us. So it looks like the Trump effect is going to make something happen in Greenland that's good. Let's check on Mexico. Let's see.
The funniest thing that happened recently, it wasn't yesterday, but the Mexican government agreed or offered that they would work with the U.S. military against the cartels. Do you have any problem with that? The Mexican government offered to work with the U.S. military to get the cartels. Does anybody see a problem with that? Like the government is the cartel? Or at least works closely with them?
The last thing our military is going to do is allow the leaks in the government to destroy all their military plans. There isn't the slightest chance that the U.S. military, if they were to plan an attack on the cartels, there's not the slightest chance they would tell the Mexican government what they were planning to do. That would just be telling the cartels. Everybody knows that.

Chapter 5: What is the current state of the Panama Canal Agreement?
So it's kind of hilarious that the Mexican government would say, hey, why don't we help with our military? And you can imagine the U.S. military saying, thanks for the offer. I think we're good. I think we're good. We'll take care of this. So that's happening. Meanwhile, P. Hegseth is heading to the border, and he says he's going to observe the military deployment there.
Again, this is perfect presidenting. Now, that doesn't mean that the president ordered Hegseth to go to the border, but don't you feel better about everything when the leader goes and he's there on site? no matter how many times he doesn't, he or she, whenever the leader goes to the place, we all feel better. And we know that. But when it was Biden, he couldn't go to the place.
And I don't think enough of his people did either. So, yeah, the power of just going to that place, whatever that place is, if you're a leader, very powerful. And Trump administration uses that really well. Now, I think that Hegseth is probably doing a lot more than just checking out the deployment to stop people from crossing the border.
I assume he's also having conversations about offensive attacks on the cartels. Now, in the context of that, we have this report that the cartels allegedly attacked have authorized using deadly drones against Border Patrol if needed. I don't think the cartels are going to do that. Certainly not if it's ordered from the top. They're not going to do it. Because it would be crazy.
It would be crazy for them to give the U.S. the green light. If the cartels kill one American service person or even injure them, It's so on. You realize that we've got 350 million people who are just saying, go, go, do it, do it, do it. Don't shoot us. But we're certainly rooting for the military to get rid of some cartel leaders. So we'll see what happens there. Well, how about Canada? Canada.
So Canada has a unique, they've got a strategy for fighting back against the United States. I don't know if you saw it on the weekend, but they sent their designee who would act sad. So on one hand, you've got Trump who is putting tariffs on Canada that are so big it could destroy their entire economy and their country. And the response is to tell us it makes us feel sad. It makes us feel sad.
We were so friends. But we were such good friends. Why would you do this? It makes us feel sad. But we're all sad now. What if we stop being friendly? We were so friendly, but now we're sad. So that's their defense. So it turns out that the biggest export of Canada was testosterone. Yeah. there's something about they're also going to have some tariffs on American stuff that we don't care about.
We may never even notice because the difference in size of our markets is such that their tariffs won't have the same effect as our tariffs. But it gets better. Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, he's not going to have any of this American bullying. So he's decided that He's not going to give contracts to Americans for some stuff they're doing in Ontario, to which I say, oh, wait a minute.
Why would Americans get those contracts in the first place? I can only think of one reason, that they were the best bid. So to hurt us, they're going to use the people who are not as good to build their stuff. Okay, good luck with that. There was a reason you picked American companies, but hey, if you can do it on your own, let's see. But here's the best part.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Canada blocking Starlink?
I'll take a fact check on that, but I don't believe anything that perplexity tells me on China. Otherwise, it's a great app. I recommend it. Well, here's a little announcement for those of you who are, if you're subscribing to Dilbert, either on the locals platform where you get the politics as well, but if you only want Dilbert and no politics, you could subscribe on the X platform.
And if you did, on one week from today, you'll see that Dilbert will be joining the Doge Project. So Dilbert will go to D.C. He will be recruited by Elon Musk himself. And he will go to work on the Doge Project. So look for that. The subscription button is on X in my profile. $3 a month. Worth it. All right. Let's talk about Doge.
I don't know about you, but a number of people said the same thing. I was just glued to X for the last several days in a way that's making me sick. I mean, just so much overload of new stories coming out, and they're all a little bit complicated because you have to understand some context, but so much, so much.
So I'm going to do my best to try to explain it to you who are not following it closely. It's worth following closely. It's the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. If you're going to follow it closely, I recommend Mike Benz, B-E-N-Z. So follow him on X and you'll get all the context you need and just really well explained.
But let me just say that for now, you know, the Democrat attack on the Doge thing was that, oh, it's an unelected government and Musk is really in charge. trying to make it a thing to put a wedge between Trump and Musk. But they've, again, praised each other in the news. Musk says he loves Trump, literally loves him. And Trump's saying Musk is doing a great job with the Doge stuff.
But here's my take. I think Trump is the only person who could have made this work. And by this, I mean allowing Trump Elon Musk to have as much say and as much influence over the cost cutting as possible. And the only reason he's the only one who could do it is he has unnatural confidence. That's what we like about him. He's unnaturally confident.
So when you bring in a threat to Trump, I don't even think he sees it that way. And he shouldn't, because the one thing that Trump brings that nobody's ever brought as a president is the boss charisma of all boss charismas. Now, some of it is for effect, right? He knows the show. He understands how to put on the show.
But genuinely, in addition to the show, he has the most boss charisma I've ever seen. Now, Elon Musk has the sort of leadership charisma that we've never seen either. But if you put them together, Musk would overshadow anyone else. Anyone else. This wouldn't work because the president wouldn't be strong enough in our minds.
Not just in reality, but in our minds, we wouldn't say, oh, this Jimmy Carter can control this situation, right? Would we have said, oh, don't worry. Biden is really the boss. No, you would never say that because you wouldn't believe it. And you could even go through some Republicans if they were president. Would you really think they were in charge if you saw Musk running wild?

Chapter 7: How is China responding to trade tensions with the U.S.?
The entire fucking thing. Here's what else they've done. Besides capacity building and overthrowing other governments and censoring Americans, they funded the EcoHealth Alliance. Do you remember them? Oh, no, our government never, we never funded that Wuhan lab. What are you talking about?
No, no, there's no record of the government of the United States funding the Wuhan lab and their coronavirus stuff. No. Oh, they did fund USAID, and USAID did fund EcoHealth Alliance, and EcoHealth Alliance did fund the Wuhan lab, but not the American government. No. See, that's how they do it.
If there's anything deeply illegal and wrong that the public wouldn't want to know we did, they do it that way. Did you know, and this one blew my mind, you know the Soros prosecutors? This is another Mike Benz discovery. The Soros prosecutors. So we know that George Soros, now Alexander Soros, has funded various prosecutors and people like that in different states.
And using it to do what to the United States, we don't know. But it turns out, The Soros was only the second biggest funder for the so-called Soros DAs. Do you know what was the biggest funder of the Soros DAs? USAID. It was coming from inside the house. Oh, my fucking God. It was coming from inside the house the whole time.
And we didn't know it until Doge got a hold of the documents that are now becoming public. Wow. So just imagine that every bad thing that could happen that you wouldn't want to happen went through the same entity, basically. And there's another entity involved with that. It's got some other letters in the name I'll remember in a minute. All right, but here's the thing.
Oh, the National Endowment for Democracy. I think that's the one Victoria Nuland's on. But here's the fun part. When Doge starts pulling these strings, there's a certain group of people who emerge like prairie dogs. Boop. Their little heads pop up to complain. Those are the deep state operatives.
Now, maybe there'll be some exceptions, but I think you're going to find out the entire architecture of the bad guys because they're the ones who are going to start fighting this the hardest. So here are the prairie dogs that I think you're going to see fighting the hardest. Probably AOC, check. Suddenly AOC really cares about keeping this funding.
You're going to see Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, Swalwell, Maybe Brennan Clapper seems to be in hiding, but if he came out of hiding, he'd probably say, oh, we should fund it. Have you noticed that Hillary is quiet? Nobody's been more quiet than Hillary lately. What's up with that? Hillary used to say a lot, and now she's kind of quiet lately. We'll find out. And then Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders.
Here's what Bernie Sanders says about the whole Doge thing.

Chapter 8: What role does USAID play in global affairs?
We're looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We're looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. I feel that we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy.
But maybe it's a rapid growth of psychotic behavior, too. Let's throw that in the list, because that works. That's a good strategy. Throw in these vague insults. That'll get them. That'll get Trump. He just buckles when you insult him. Nobody ever thought of it. Then she goes on and she says, this guy is psychotic and there's so much. Good point. There's so much.
He's not only going to steal your democracy and be a kleptocracy, but there's so much. There's just so much. And then she goes on, but everything that underlines it is white supremacy and hate. There it is. And that's why you're the dumbest member of the Democrats. Did nobody give you the memo that this is exactly why you lost? This is exactly why you lost. It's this. Anyway.
And he says, there needs to be a message that is clear on at least the underlying thing that comes with all this. So she'd like the Democrats to really focus on the white supremacy. Because that'll get you elected. Anyway. So here's what I think.
If the Democrats agree, and they all seem to agree, that they don't have a coherent message going forward, what does that tell you about the message they had? Why would they abandon the message that they felt so strongly about? You know, all the messages of the last four years. Why would they give up on all the things they were fighting to the death for? I can only think of one reason.
They knew it wasn't real. Right? Did the Uyghurs stop fighting? No, because their issue is still the same today as it was yesterday. But the Democrats just decided they need a new strategy. If you need a new strategy, it means all the things you were trying to sell, you knew were bullshit, or you found out were bullshit.
How in the world would you ever trust somebody who said, let's reinvent ourselves as a completely different thing and care about different things? Like, who would trust that? You know, at least the Republicans have largely been Republicans for a long time, you can kind of anticipate what a Republican will do in any situation.
Now, a MAGA Republican is a special brand, but you can predict them as well. And I guess you can predict what Democrats will do, which is whatever is the dumbest fucking thing you can do. So why is it that Democrats had any power at all when their message and their priorities were just flat out stupid? And the answer is they control the media.
If you control the media, you can sell to half of the country that stupid things are smart things. And that's what they did. They sold to half of the country that stupid things were smart things. And then when Trump basically destroyed the legacy media with Elon Musk and X, once the legacy media was so crippled that it couldn't do what it normally does,
