Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. 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 is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, a chalice, a sign, a canteen, 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 of dopamine today, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Happens right now. Go. Thank you, Paul. Everything's working fine today. All right. Well, the big news, in case you missed it, is that CNN escapee Jim Acosta has launched his own show. Oh, okay. What was I talking about? Oh, sorry.
Chapter 2: What are the implications of Trump's executive order on sports?
I was saying that CNN escapee Jim Acosta has launched... I'm just going to move to the next story. I can't make it through that one. Well, as you know, Trump has signed his executive order banning biological men in women's sports, as he likes to say. Women seem to like it a lot.
You know, I'll tell you, there's a lot of people doing a victory lapse and people who worked for years on certain things. So is this not a big victory for Riley Gaines? Imagine being Riley Gaines. She kind of risked everything to just work on this issue. And she was really good at it. And here we are. Now, it's not because of any one person. But she certainly was leading the charge. Also, J.K.
Rowling took tremendous heat. Victory lap. Time for the victory laps. And there's a whole bunch of people who have been toiling for years on individual topics like DEI. and suddenly they're all winners. You know, Robbie Starbuck and Christopher Ruffo and people like me. And we get a victory lap, too. So lots of victory laps lately. I like that.
Well, Wall Street Journal says the government's trying to ban DeepSeek. DeepSeek would be the less expensive Chinese AI. And I guess it's an app, and now it's not going to be legal if this passes. It's just introduced as a bill. But if this passes, then you can't have that AI on a government computer because they worry it will grab your information and send it back to China. Which it might.
Chapter 3: What is DeepSeek and why is it controversial?
Now, my first prediction about DeepSeek is that it wouldn't be as dangerous as you thought to American AI companies because the government would just tie it up in legal problems. They'll just make it illegal. And sure enough, it's basically the TikTok model. They start with banning it in the government because that's maybe easiest. But yeah, they're going to ban it.
I would be surprised if it's still in the App Store in a year. As you know, the Army has shattered records for recruitment since the election of Trump. Do you think that's a coincidence? What would make people want to join the military just because Trump is president? Could it be less likely to get into wars that don't matter? That might be part of it. Could it be...
just a rise in man, sort of male energy, although obviously a lot of women joined the service as well. Could it be that joining the service has now transformed from something like a thing for gay people to something like a lethal force protecting the country?
Chapter 4: How has military recruitment changed since Trump's election?
Because I got to say that my entire impression of the military was it's just a big LGBTQ cheering thing that occasionally gets into wars we wish we didn't have. Trump fixed all of that just by existing and being Trump. So, yeah, I don't think it's a coincidence that people are signing up all of a sudden. Probably not a coincidence.
Well, Laura Trump's going to join Fox News one night a week on Saturdays. Saturday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Now, remember I always tell you that Fox News is just better produced? You know, that's one of those things if you're not if you haven't been around the media business a lot, as I have, you're not going to notice the difference in producers.
You're just going to say, oh, I like this show better than that show. And maybe you'll think it's because of the talent. But the producers have a lot to do with the success. And this is exactly perfect. Yeah, Laura Trump is exactly who they should be giving a Saturday night show to. If she does well, obviously they'd look at maybe expanding that.
So yeah, it's once again Fox News in their talent and production stuff. They get a lot right. Mitch McConnell fell down the stairs again. He may have been a little bit injured, but nothing life-threatening. And my question is, how much do McConnell's peers hate him that they would allow him to use stairs. There's no other way to get from one place to another. There's no elevators.
Chapter 5: What is the significance of Laura Trump's new show?
They don't have any handicap access to other floors. I would think there'd be an elevator everywhere that McConnell goes. So who just stood there and watched him struggle on the stairs and said, oh, that'll be fine? I mean, it almost feels like they hate him, like they're just trying to, trying to steer him toward the stairs more.
It's like, well, there's no term limits, but how would you like to go upstairs and meet in the room upstairs? I'll have to do my McConnell impression. Can I do a McConnell impression? I've never tried this before. Hey, Mitch, why don't you come upstairs? We'll meet in the conference room upstairs, third floor. No, no, not the elevator. No, no. The elevator's for idiots. No, no, you're fine.
You're fine. Just take the stairs. All right, I think I nailed it. That probably would be the clip that takes over the Internet today. So, yeah, they hate him. Let's talk about Trump and Gaza some more. So most of the complaints about Trump wanting to own Gaza or the United States own it is based on the opposite of what he said. So we're not going to spend money in Gaza.
No, he said we're not going to spend any money. We're not going to put those boots on the ground. No, we're not going to put any boots on the ground. Well, well, but we're not going to spend any money. No, we already covered that. We're not going to spend any money. We're just going to help organize the people who do spend the money.
But those boots on the ground, again, no boots on the ground, no money, no spending, no boots on the ground. I don't know. My problem is all the spending and the boots on the ground. Are you even listening to me? No spending. No boots on the ground. That was the spokesperson, Caroline Leavitt, trying to answer questions. Yes, there'll be no expense. But what about all the expense?
I just said no expense. So do we think this would work? Well, let me tell you what I love about today. I love the fact that when it became clear, let's see, I guess Mike Walsh, National Security Advisor, Mike Walsh said directly, he said that Trump's proposal to take over Gaza is meant to pressure neighboring Arab states to come up with their own solution. Now, most of you knew that, didn't you?
Just think about how far we've come. I'm going to take a victory lap on this one. Imagine that Trump says something wildly provocative, like America should own Gaza, and we'll take care of it. And then your head explodes, as mine did, and then after the explosion subsides, I think about it and I go, oh, oh, okay, this is just Trump. He's just creating some options out of nothing.
And he's shaking the box and he's trying to get the other people to hate him as the common enemy so that they can come up with an idea that does work instead of their dumb ideas that don't work. Basically, nobody had any other idea. If you think about it, nobody, nobody, not a single person had an actual real practical idea of what to do.
So Trump comes up with his arguably impractical but maybe possible idea. And now they have to fight with the real thing. Now they've got to say, we hate it. Yeah, but what's your idea? Well, my idea is I hate his idea. No, no. What's your idea? We're all ears. We'll abandon Trump's idea in a heartbeat. Let's hear your good idea. His plan won't work. No, again, you're only talking about his plan.

Chapter 6: What are the controversies surrounding USAID?
has been looking into the whole USAID and Doge's penetration of it and everything we're learning about who's getting the money and how dirty that organization is. The quick answer, if you're new to this, is that the Doge, Elon Musk's Doge people, have completely opened the kimono on this part of the government that had a very big budget, and was doing only creepy things.
Now, creepy, meaning overthrowing other countries and maybe overthrowing ours. Maybe, allegedly. And so even though on the surface, it looked like they were funding AIDS programs in Africa and all kinds of things that you'd say, well, we could discuss whether we should be giving charity to other countries, but you can't argue that this would be a good charity. helping AIDS in another country.
But it turns out that 100% of what it does is essentially front, let's say it's a front for some bigger effort that's a CIA effort. So allegedly, no matter what they're funding, whether it's AIDS or, I don't know, cleaning up the water in some place, that really that's just a trick to get our assets in place so that we can overthrow the country or control it. And that's all it is.
Everything else is fake, which doesn't mean that they don't do good things. because in order to stay in the country, they would probably have to show that they helped with some aids and cleaned up some water, did something they said they were going to do. But really, it's not the purpose of it. The purpose of it is overthrowing countries. So now that you have that context.
Now, the other thing that USAID does to disguise what it's doing is is there's this unlimited, just it seems like thousands, I think. I think it is thousands of NGOs, non-government organizations. So they exist all over the world. And if USAID gives one of them some money for something that sounds good on paper, oh, if we give you some money, you'll work on some climate stuff.
And then that entity has some money. And then if it gives it to somebody else, then maybe the only thing you would see is, oh, and then this other company gave it to clean up the water in this place that needs some clean water. And you go, oh, that sounds good. But really, the whole thing is a money laundering situation to presumably Democrats are taking some off the top wherever the money moves.
And by the way, it's 98% Democrats. It's just a Democrat. It's a money laundering situation. that the Democrats use and also the deep state. So now that you know that, it's this vast network of connected things for the purpose, for the purpose of laundering money, for the purpose of overthrowing other countries. So you need to know it's 100% fake. Now, this is the Mike Benz explanation.
So I'm borrowing this. This is not my personal opinion, except that Benz makes such a good argument and has such good receipts that if he says it and he shows you his work, I'm kind of on that page, right? Because his credibility is through the roof and he shows his work just with public stuff. So
Here's what Michael Schellenberger, who writes for Public, it's a subscription news-related site that is amazing. I'll read some of this. He goes, now the evidence suggests, talking about USAID, that USAID, along with CIA, were behind the 2019 impeachment of Trump. What? Wait, what? That USAID and the CIA were behind the 2019 impeachment of Trump.

Chapter 7: How did the CIA and USAID influence Trump's impeachment?
But I always assumed that some deep part of the American government is what closed them down. Maybe working with Five Eyes, other countries, Great Britain would want to close them down as well. But I don't want to run and embrace that as true because it's just a thing Andrew Tate is saying on X. But if I had to place a bet, I'll bet he does have the receipts. We'll see.
It would be a bold thing to say if you couldn't prove it. Now that's interesting. So, anyway, so the states are looking to see if there are any charges they can put on Fauci. I am completely against this. I'm completely against it. The way I read the story is the states have ganged up. They started with the person and now they're looking for the crime.
They started with a person and they're checking with all the other states. Hey, do you see a crime? Do you see a crime? Got any crimes we can go after him for? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, you can't start with a person and then look for a crime. That's not going to fly. don't make me support Anthony Fauci, right?
Because some NPC is going to say, oh, you defended Anthony Fauci because you like vaccinations that will kill you. No, I don't like what Fauci did. Yes, I believe he probably violated some crimes. I don't know which ones, but probably. But he's got a pardon from the federal government.
If these states don't have obvious crimes that are sort of right in front of them, you don't get to go looking for shit. That's too far. That's too far. So we'll see what they come up with. But you can't have Pam Bondi trying to stop lawfare while 12 of our states are engaged in it publicly. That would be lawfare. That's what it is.
When you start with the person and then look for a crime, oh, we can find some crime here. No, totally messed up. I don't want to have my name associated with anybody who would do anything like that. So you better do better. This is not up to the standard. This is not up to the current standard of the United States. It is up to the standard of what we just got rid of. We just shit-canned this.
The reason we shit can Biden was this kind of stuff. Don't shit can Biden and then start being Biden. So unless there's something I'm missing about this story, this is a hard no. Absolutely fucking not. Don't make me look like some Biden guy just because I'm supporting Trump or supporting the Republicans in this case. So checking in with the Democrats and their messaging.
They've decided to go with, Joy Reid said, Musk is a private citizen trying to take over the government. And let's see, what did Jen Psaki said? She said, it's a hostile takeover of a government. There's no other way to describe it. Really? There's no other way to describe it? I'm going to use that. That's the argument for people who don't know how anything works. You can use it for everything.
You see this in my hand? It's a porcupine. Shut up. There's no other way to describe it. No, it's not a pen. There's only one way to describe it. It's a porcupine. What the hell? What kind of dumbasses listen to there's no other way to describe it? Let me see if I can dig deep into my creative... creative powers to find some other way to describe it.

Chapter 8: What is the connection between media control and political outcomes?
So it could be that the government or the USAID really needed that data. But I don't think so. It seems far more likely that that's just the ordinary way that you bribe somebody. You don't bribe the person. You fund the startup for the person's brother-in-law. You don't fund the person... You fund the thing that the person was going to spend money on, but now they don't have to.
You don't fund the person. You hire the relative who couldn't get a job for a no-show job. So the most typical way that you bribe people is not by giving them money, but giving money to something that will benefit them in a second, indirect way. All right. And by the way, I don't know that Politico has one entity and they both connect to it, but that's what you should be asking.
So if we don't know that, then we don't know the story. And so I guess I would say I don't know the story. Let's see what... I'm seeing something. According to the Financial Times, half of Politico's $200 million in revenue comes from its pro-subscription business. which capitalizes on the U.S. lobbying industry. So it's something lobbyists pay for.
Now, if it's something lobbyists pay for, why would USAID need to pay for it? It's described as Bloomberg for politics. So it's basically data that lobbyists would like, such as what's the name of the person in charge of this thing who was voting for this thing? It sells data, directories, and detailed coverage of the legislative and policymaking process for as much as $10,000 a pop.
Now, how many of those subscriptions do you think USAID needed to buy, and why? Is the government figuring out ways to lobby the government? The government is the government. They have to buy an external source to find out who to talk to in the government. All right. Google is allegedly ending their DEI. But I saw a little nuance to that.
So it might be they're ending some kind of affirmative action goals, but maybe not completely getting rid of the letters DEI. But it's moving in the right direction. And Robbie Starbuck's talking about this. I don't know that he targeted Google yet. But I think you'll see companies not want to get targeted because it's very bad for business.
So you should be seeing companies trying to get ahead of it. And I think that's maybe what this is. But the NFL is sticking with DEI and they're sticking with it hard because the NFL wants to end discrimination. Finally. I'm glad the NFL wants to end discrimination because this spring I plan to try out for a quarterback position on one of the NFL teams.
I pick quarterback because I think that position pays the most usually. So I want the good position. And, you know, It wasn't long ago I would have worried about ageism. Like if I showed up, they would just say, are you serious? No, you should probably be in your late teens or maybe early 20s. And I would say, I'm sorry. I thought you were in favor of DEI. Well, yeah, yeah.
But we're thinking more like black people. And I would say, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm the only white person here. Oh, no, there's one. There's one. Oh, no, that's a coach. There's one. Okay, that seems to be a reporter. Okay, but I'm sure there's some white people here. And then I'd say, but you should not be ageist. I need some, you know, DEI, please. Give me some DEI.
