Chapter 1: What is the simultaneous sip and why is it important?

0.509 - 16.384 Scott Adams

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 cupper, a mugger, a glass, a tanker, a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

17.004 - 41.438 Scott Adams

Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens right now. Go. Oh, I love to see all those green everything's working messages. That's what I like.

43.68 - 67.75 Scott Adams

Well, if you are subscribing to the Dilbert comic, which you can only see if you subscribe on X, just look at my profile for the button, or if you're on the locals community, you'd see that plus a lot more. You know that Dilbert's executive team, they lost a lot of money this year. The company did, and they didn't have any good ideas about how to fix it.

0

68.49 - 92.383 Scott Adams

So instead, they're going to make TikTok videos. Does that sound familiar? It might. So yes, Dilbert's executive team is making cringe-worthy TikTok videos. Well, let's see if there are any scientific studies that didn't need to be done. Let's see. According to John Hopkins Medicine,

0

93.012 - 123.199 Scott Adams

They did a worldwide study and they found that if you have chronic pain, you're far more likely to have depression and anxiety. I'm pretty sure 100% of the world knew that before the study. But if you wanted to save time, you could have asked me. Scott, do you think that people who are in continuous pain are as happy as people who are not in continuous pain.

123.219 - 158.864 Scott Adams

And I would have said, hmm, let me dig deep into the inner realm of my mind. Yeah, yeah, those people would be less happy. And I got it. Nailed it. Let's see. Let's do another one. According to the Spectator Index, there's a new science. It's published in the BMJ. that says that exercise, whether it's walking, jogging, or strength training, is an effective treatment for depression. Hmm. Hmm.

159.504 - 184.066 Scott Adams

How could they have gotten that answer without doing all that work and spending that money and all that time? They could have asked me, Scott, does exercising make people feel good? Yes. But what about if you were depressed? Yes. It's yes every time. You didn't need to do that study. All right, let's do one more.

184.086 - 219.994 Scott Adams

According to study finds, a happy husband or wife could be the key to a stress-free life. So it says your partner's happiness can lower your stress levels. Oh, let's see. Would I have come up with the same answer? If your spouse is really happy... Does that make you less happy or more happy? I'm going to say more happy. Checking the science? Yes. Nailed it. Nailed it again.

220.755 - 252.329 Scott Adams

But then it goes on, and I can't even believe this. It says that the negative emotions don't have any impact. So if your spouse is happy, it makes you happy. But if your spouse is unhappy, it doesn't affect you in any way. Um, no, let me override the science on this. Um, um, if your spouse is unhappy, will that have no effect on you or could it make you unhappy too? It makes you unhappy.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Michelle Obama's new podcast?

280.839 - 302.662 Scott Adams

And it's with her brother, Craig Robinson, which answers a lot of questions. Number one, apparently... Michelle Obama and her brother are different people. So all of those who said, I don't know, I think she is her brother. No, they're different people, and you'll see in the podcast.

0

303.562 - 333.852 Scott Adams

But if you were looking at speculation, and it's only speculation, people, that Obama's marriage was not doing well, what would you look for? Well, if the marriage was doing well, I would look for the Obamas to be doing some joint projects, maybe some Netflix stuff, some other stuff. But if their marriage was not doing well, I would look for Michelle Obama to do a podcast with her brother.

0

336.653 - 368.953 Scott Adams

That just screams marital problems. So I don't know, maybe it's just pattern recognition or something, but If you start a podcast with your brother, probably your marriage isn't going as well as it could have been. Well, here's the most surprising and good news I was not expecting whatsoever. According to NPR, Brian Mann is writing about this, the fentanyl and other drug deaths are way down.

0

370.914 - 400.417 Scott Adams

Now, who saw that coming? It doesn't have anything to do with Trump or anything that Trump has done. But apparently, there's a big difference. And it's happened, I won't say suddenly, but just in the last year or so. And I was not aware of this at all. But apparently, the fentanyl deaths are down over 30% relative to the prior years. Over 30% down, right? in fentanyl deaths.

0

400.858 - 422.408 Scott Adams

Now, you might ask why. Now, the speculation from the actual addicts, who I would consider the experts in this domain, if you're not talking to the actual people who are doing the fentanyl, you probably don't know what's going on. You know, the experts are just observing. But here's what the addicts say. Part of it is Narcan.

423.325 - 445.196 Scott Adams

So that's the drug you administer if somebody is having an overdose, and it can just bring them back to life. One of the addicts, I shouldn't laugh, but it is kind of funny, said, oh, yeah, I've been Narcan back to life several times. It doesn't stop them from doing it. but the Narcan has saved his life at least twice, I think.

445.977 - 473.919 Scott Adams

But the other thing, and I'd heard this before through just my own contacts, that the addicts were simply learning how to do fentanyl more safely. So in other words, it used to be that they thought, well, if I injected this into my arm, if it were heroin, I'd do this much. And then they would do the same amount with fentanyl and they'd be dead.

474.979 - 500.486 Scott Adams

So it seems like the addicts have just gotten smarter or the ones that survived so far are smarter, meaning that they smoke it instead of inject it. And pill form is probably just as dangerous as injecting it. But if they smoke it, and I'm not recommending it, by the way, it's a little bit more of a controlled dose. And they've also just learned to do less of it. And then there's some

501.249 - 532.358 Scott Adams

Some indication that it's weaker, that there are weaker forms of fentanyl out there. So it might be some combination of all those things. But 30%? Not bad. Now, it does complicate things for Trump with his tariffs, because he's putting tariffs on Canada and tariffs on Mexico and China trying to reduce the deaths. But what if they're going down by themselves for completely unrelated reasons?

Chapter 3: Why are fentanyl deaths declining?

680.937 - 709.99 Scott Adams

You could argue, well, statistically, if both of them are checking 5%, it should be representative. I don't think it works that way because you don't know if the checking at the Mexican border, where everybody assumes there's more of it, is more rigorous than at any other place. But it could be. I do assume that Canada has far lower than Mexico, but it might not be as low as people are saying.

0

711.711 - 738.134 Scott Adams

Here's some other good news. Now, I guess I'll wait for a fact check on this, but Libs of TikTok had a source that says that egg prices dropped by 11% recently and that they're now lower than when Trump took office. Do you think that's true? Do you think eggs are actually lower now than when Trump took office? Because I don't think he's necessarily done anything wrong.

0

738.973 - 762.622 Scott Adams

They would lower the price of eggs, probably just normal market situation. But then we've got Easter coming where people buy lots of eggs just to color them. So there should be some gigantic surge in demand that's going to happen any minute now, which presumably would push prices up again, I guess. But it's good news that it didn't go up a lot.

0

763.422 - 783.875 Scott Adams

So we'll see if this is a trend or just a little blip. Or maybe not even, maybe it's just bad data. We don't know. According to Fox News, Andrew Mark Miller is writing, there's a new study that found that the Biden administration spent $1.1 trillion on promoting DEI. $1.1 trillion of your tax money went to DEI.

0

792.392 - 821.131 Scott Adams

Now, I think that number might be not just the DEI portion of things, but maybe things that also had DEI in them. So it might be a little overstated, but it's a big number. And do you know what would happen if you spent over a trillion dollars on DEI? It would make the price of eggs go up. Literally. The price of eggs probably is higher because of DEI.

821.991 - 856.961 Scott Adams

Because if the government spends more, inflation is higher. If inflation is higher, your eggs cost more. So a trillion dollars is enough that it would make a dent in pretty much every price. So yeah, it's possible that DEI made your eggs cost more. Very possible. Anyway. According to Doug Collins, who I guess is the Secretary of Veterans something something, he just made a major announcement.

858.001 - 890.114 Scott Adams

He said that they found they only checked 2% of the contracts. And after checking only 2% of the contracts that are relative to Veterans Affairs, they found $900 billion in wasteful spending. So nearly a billion dollars, and all they checked were 2% of the contracts. Now, it could be that they knew which ones to look at. Maybe it just jumped down at you. Yeah, these are the problem ones.

890.834 - 923.552 Scott Adams

Or it could be that if they keep checking, they're going to find more billions. I don't know. But what I like about it is I think Trump has created an environment where where his secretaries and the heads of everything, we've got that troll is back. If you have a way to kill that troll on Rumble, the fart troll, I don't know if it's just somebody retarded or what, but it's the same one.

923.592 - 954.138 Scott Adams

We see him all the time. So if you can figure out how to kill that troll, that'd be great. So anyway, the point is that, yeah, I'm just going to have to turn off these comments. Let's see, there we go. So I can only see the comments from locals now. So locals, I can see you, but Rumble, I had to turn you off.

Chapter 4: What are the criticisms of government spending on DEI?

1056.316 - 1075.53 Scott Adams

You know, you don't expect all the stories to fact check. But when Trump's in there, they're like, oh, we got to better fact check like crazy. But even the Times is saying, we're not going to treat everything he says like it's news. So you don't have to fact check every single thing that Trump does all the time.

0

1076.751 - 1109.15 Scott Adams

But one of the things that the New York Times did was they were still calling the 2020 election deniers participating in, quote, the big lie. Now, if he ever wanted to know what would it be like to live in a communist dictatorship, it would look like this, where questioning the legitimacy of an election is called the big lie. That only happens from illegitimate leadership.

0

1110.531 - 1131.862 Scott Adams

There's no way that you could consider the New York Times a legitimate news source if they repeat the big lie. It's the big lie. As if anybody could know whether an American election was rigged or not. You wouldn't know. It would just be completely unknowable because the accusation is that it was done without getting caught.

0

1133.911 - 1156.338 Scott Adams

So if it was done without getting caught, that's either true or it's not true. But it's definitely not something that somebody else knows the real answer to. If somebody thinks it was rigged, maybe they don't have evidence. But you also don't have evidence that it wasn't rigged because the accusation is that you could get away with it. Yeah.

0

1157.238 - 1185.481 Scott Adams

Anyway, there's another there's a brand new drunken Kamala Harris video. She's appearing on stage at some event and she's just plastered. Now, the other big lie, if I can borrow that term, was that Joe Biden's brain was fine for four years. And then as soon as he's out of office, suddenly all the insiders are like, oh yeah, he was so degraded we couldn't even have him talk to people.

1185.682 - 1210.654 Scott Adams

Oh yeah, we had to give him little note cards or he wouldn't even know what to say. So, but we knew that, right? Everybody who is not in the bag for the Democrats, we knew it, we could see it. In 2019, people like me and a lot of other people were saying, you don't see that? Because it's really obvious that he's not all there.

1211.214 - 1239.09 Scott Adams

And if you just multiply that by four more years, or you just project it four more years, there's no way that at the end of Biden's term, he's going to be even barely functioning at all. It was even worse than we thought. It wasn't even as good as I thought it was. But we're doing the exact same thing with Kamala Harris. There's not any question whether she's inebriated at these various events.

1239.87 - 1274.605 Scott Adams

It's so, so obvious. And still, the media is completely silent about it. Just completely silent. The only place you'll even see it mentioned is on social media. I don't think even the major right-leaning networks cover it. But am I wrong that it's super obvious? I mean, how can you miss it? So if you look at my X feed, if you want to see it, there's no real doubt that she's plastered.

1275.065 - 1308.034 Scott Adams

Now, I don't know if it's alcohol or something else, but she's plastered, and there's no doubt about it. CNN's Harry Enten, he's the guy who talks about the data and the polls, says, He was talking about a CBS YouGov survey that said 54% of Americans think that Elon's Doge project should influence government spending. So 54% of people are in favor of Doge doing what Doge is doing.

Chapter 5: How is Elon Musk connected to recent cyber attacks?

3814.289 - 3843.035 Scott Adams

So I think the free market sort of was solving the problem on its own. So I just don't think it's the biggest thing in the world to divest Google at this point. I understand the impulse, but the free market did a pretty good job here. There's a new book out, and it mentions Gavin Newsom, that he, quote, bailed out the biggest utility in the state.

0

3843.175 - 3860.25 Scott Adams

I think they're talking about PG&E, the electric utility. And it says that he bailed out the utility responsible for California wildfires, because the utility lines, if they spark and fall down, it causes fires. And apparently it's caused some of our biggest ones.

0

3861.287 - 3887.437 Scott Adams

And he bailed them out, meaning not holding them responsible, after collecting six figures in donations for his political campaigns, I guess. And instead of blaming the utility who directly, and we all understand, were directly involved in causing it with their lines going down,

0

3888.171 - 3920.113 Scott Adams

He went after the oil and gas companies over climate change, claiming that climate change was a big driver of the fires. Oh, my God. Anyway, so the book is called, let's see, it's called Fool's Gold, The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All. Okay, that's not the best title for a book, but it's by Susan Crabtree and Jed McFatter. McFatter.

0

3921.654 - 3955.47 Scott Adams

That's an unfortunate last name. I hope he goes to the gym because it's spelled M-C-F-A-T-T-E-R. Man, if you gained 10 pounds and your last name was McFatter, I wouldn't go anywhere in public. Like, hey, looks like you got a little McFatter there. That'd be terrible. Anyway, So it doesn't seem to me like Gavin Newsom could ever win the presidency. Because this is a pretty big charge.

3955.63 - 3988.464 Scott Adams

I can't judge how much of this is true. It's just something that these authors have. Then another news that I think is fake, according to some publication called WFDD, Hamas is offering a truce with Israel for five to ten years. And this is apparently according to the U.S. hostage negotiator. He's the hostage affairs envoy, Adam Bowler.

3989.445 - 4015.548 Scott Adams

So allegedly, he told the Israeli public that Hamas was willing to lay down their arms for five to ten years and not be involved in governing Gaza. while the U.S. would take part in ensuring that no Hamas tunnels or militant activities would crop up again. My take on this? I don't believe any of that. I don't believe there's any agreement. I don't believe Hamas would do it.

4016.368 - 4043.03 Scott Adams

I don't even know if Bowler even said it. Nothing about that looks true to me. In other news, the U.S. Air Force has accepted its first official combat drone, according to David Zondi writing in New Atlas. Now, it's not fully operational as in integrated into their warfighting machine yet. So it's still sort of prototype and they're still testing it out.

4043.39 - 4075.327 Scott Adams

But apparently there are two essentially drone jets, so they would be unpiloted, that could do the same work as, and maybe even more, because they don't have to worry about protecting the human. So it looks like our Air Force will be a drone Air Force. And that's a real thing. So by this time next year, it might be more likely that if we were to do an attack somewhere, it would be drones.
