Chapter 1: What is the highlight of today's Coffee with 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.
But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, well, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen 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 of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go. So good. Well, if you haven't heard, Rosie O'Donnell has moved to Ireland. Yeah, she moved to Ireland because Trump got elected. So that'll serve him right. I guess she showed us. Moved to Ireland.
Speaking of Ireland, Ireland was wondering if Trump is going to put any tariffs on Ireland. And Trump said, tariffs on Ireland? Only on Rosie O'Donnell. Yeah, that's called a callback. It's called a callback. Well, if you didn't see the news yet on social media, one of the InfoWars hosts, Chase Geiser, got swatted a couple of times just yesterday.
Chapter 2: What are the implications of swatting incidents?
So the swat got called by bad people who were pretending to be him. And they showed up. And the most recent time was 2 a.m. this morning. And The police pull up to his place and they put on the bullhorns and they say, get out here with your hands up with his wife and children in the house. Second time in one day. Now, I believe this is domestic terrorism and we're seeing more of it.
All the Tesla stuff is domestic terrorism. And, you know, you could argue even some of the news coverage is domestic terrorism. It's so bad. But this is really bad. And I'm going to say if this were my own police department locally, I would say things like, well, I guess they have to follow their procedures. And I guess they can't know for sure. So they have to deploy.
That's what I would say for my local police department. So I didn't make them mad. But this is not my local police department. So I'm going to ask the obvious question. What the hell is wrong with you? How do you not figure out that these SWAT calls are fake? After the first one, the same day, and you can't figure out that the second one's fake and maybe figure out a different way to handle it?
Now, I've heard people say, well, the law says they have to deploy. Well, what is deploy meaning? How about maybe call them on the phone? and say, can you turn on your FaceTime? Just show me the room. Everybody's good. It doesn't feel like this should be the hardest thing in the world. So I'm going to blame the police. If you do it once, the police need to respond.
I'm totally on board with responding once, even though that's domestic terrorism on behalf of the person who put in the fake call. But by the second time, the same day, and you can't figure that out? I'm pretty disappointed. Pretty disappointed. So, yeah, they need to figure that out. But this isn't as bad.
This is just one of the worst things because I feel like, do you remember when under the Biden administration the Democrats were saying that the biggest problem in the country was right-wing white supremacist, I don't know, terrorists or something? There's never been anything like this. I mean, we're seeing full out, you know, color revolution terrorism. It's domestic terrorism.
And it really needs to stop. So some people need to be arrested. And I have a real question about people who make anonymous calls or they make calls pretending to be the person who's going to get swatted. How in the world does that work? How do you pretend to be the person being swatted where you're calling from a telephone number that's clearly not from that person?
Wouldn't the first thing they do is look at their own logs and maybe call back on the number that they have for that person? Because, you know, the police always have, don't they? Can't the police always get a phone number for you if they have your address? I think they can. So I have lots of questions about this.

Chapter 3: How is domestic terrorism related to Tesla?
If you want to inform me where I'm wrong and the police are acting responsibly, I'll listen to that argument. But I don't understand it at this point. So they got some explaining to do. Well, speaking of that, Trump has decided that he will label
the violence against Tesla dealerships and perhaps Tesla owners as well, because there are examples of just people who own a Tesla getting attacked, their car getting attacked anyway, while they're in it. And what does that mean? If he says that he's going to label them, does that make it official? Or does he have to sign an executive order or something?
Because it's time to make this domestic terrorism. Like, we have to get this fast. And it has to be extreme. And it seems to me that just about all of the people who didn't have a mask and did anything around a Tesla, aren't they all caught on camera? The Teslas have cameras all over them. How in the world do we not have their faces? And today, the police have facial recognition.
So it should be as easy as looking at the video, running it through facial recognition, and then you go arrest them. And you put them in jail for a long time. Because we can't really put up with this. This has to be a very hard response. Anyway, but what about the funding sources for this protest?
If you're involved in organizing the protest against the Tesla dealership, and let's say the first time it gets out of hand and there's a little vandalism, and I'm going to call it domestic terrorism, maybe the first time you could say, oh, okay, the organizer didn't know that was going to happen. But what happens if you do it multiple times and every time it gets out of hand?
Doesn't that mean that the organizer is a domestic terrorist? Shouldn't they be hauled in as some kind of an accessory to domestic terrorism if they know it's going to happen? If they were surprised by it, then of course no. But once you're not surprised and you know it's going to happen and you organize it anyway, at what point are you a domestic terrorist?
So I think we need to be way harder on this. Meanwhile, Politico and MSNBC and others are reporting that the USAID offices are madly shredding their documents because USAID is being defunded and shut down and absorbed, what's left absorbed into the State Department. But my question is, is this as bad as it looks, because it looks really bad, or is it closer to a baseline normal?
Um, let's say at the end of every administration, do people shred a lot of things that weren't that important? Just, you know, maybe it was too important to let people see it, but it wasn't, you know, super dangerous or illegal or anything. So I guess before I have a strong opinion about the shredding, of course, it raises lots of questions.
Of course, it looks sketchy when you read about it on a context, but I do wonder how much is normal. You know, if this were a Republican organization, would they be shredding like crazy? I don't know. So I'm going to say that I have serious questions about it, and probably, you know, if I had to bet on it, it's probably covering their asses.

Chapter 4: What are the recent developments with USAID document shredding?
And once you learn that they're propaganda, you can just sort of study them for the propaganda to see how they do it. That's sort of why I'm interested. I kind of love to see how big a lie they can tell their audience that their audience won't know the difference. There doesn't seem to be any limit. Because, you know, I just mentioned some whoppers.
Can you imagine that MSNBC still has any audience at all after telling you that Biden's brain was fine for years?
do they have any audience i mean it's so obvious that they're not in the the news business but i don't think their audience knows it i think the audience thinks it's some kind of legitimate news source weird speaking of illegitimate news the guardian lost a defamation suit uh was ruled against him Douglas Murray was the victim in this case, so he sued him.
I guess the Guardian made some outrageous claim about him. I'm not even going to repeat the claim, because given that it was a fake claim, I don't even want to associate it with his name. So I'll just tell you that there was an outrageous fake claim, and Douglas Murray took him to court and apparently won. So good for him. So they apologized and had to retract it.
But as Douglas Murray was pointing out on X, he said he wanted to remind you that the Guardian left X, so it wasn't doing anything on X anymore. And the reason was, because of alleged disinformation on X. So the Guardian, which was too good to be on X, literally the only source of free speech that we have in this country, and then immediately they got sued and lost for fake news. Fake news.
Speaking of fake news, this is real news, but it's going to lead to nothing. Apparently, the Saudi Arabia meeting to talk about a ceasefire for Ukraine involved only Ukraine and the U.S., I guess. But Ukraine and the U.S., and Zelensky has now specifically agreed to a ceasefire, 30-day ceasefire, with not many conditions, it looks like. But that's just what Zelensky wants.
We don't think that Putin wants that so easily because apparently Putin has lots of demands, you know, like no NATO, no boots on the ground from Europe, a bunch of things. And so I don't think there's really much chance that Putin will say yes to a ceasefire because what would that buy him?
Because at the moment, every day that he keeps fighting looks like a day that he's getting closer to winning just because he could take more losses for a longer period of time. So he doesn't have to gain any territory. He just needs to act like he wants the war. And it's just going to put him in a better negotiating position. So it feels like that was a waste of time. But I can be surprised.
It could be that there's that Putin has a much bigger set of interests on the side of Ukraine. And it could be that Trump said, here's the deal. We're open to talking about all the other interests. We'll make this a wider discussion, which is exactly what Russia wants. But we want that too. But we're not going to do it unless you give us a ceasefire. Because we need to feel like there's progress.

Chapter 5: How are inflation rates currently affecting the economy?
If in any way they could have gotten an 8% across the board cut in all the spending and call it a CR, well, yeah. Yeah, I would expect Thomas Massey to totally vote for that because it's exactly what he's always asking for. Let's be serious about cutting and then figure it out. So I'm going to say that Massey has acquitted himself well. I like him standing on principle.
I think I would be seriously disappointed if, If we didn't have anybody in Congress who said, nope, you're all wrong. We cannot keep spending at this level, period. So I like me some Thomas Massey in the world. And I think this will all work out. Now, let me give you a correction. I'm not sure that's the right word. Maybe it's a clarification. I talked about Tucker Carlson.
had this claim that Senator Tom Cotton was in favor of blocking the release of the JFK files and allegedly, according to Tucker, had been not in favor of some nomination, don't know which one, because that person might have wanted to release the JFK files. So what did Tom Cotton say about those accusations? He said on X, this is false. I have no problem releasing the JFK files.
Had Tucker Carlson asked me, I would have told him. And he said, he, meaning Tucker, has texted me multiple times in recent weeks, so he knows how to reach me. And then in a follow-up, Tom Cotton said, I would have explained that I've never spoken to President Trump or his associates or administration officials about the files.
Never objected to the appointment of any person because of the files and have complete faith that Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and other officials will release the files as appropriate in accordance with President Trump's directive. Now, isn't this interesting?
Because you've got Tucker Carlson saying a thing happened, and he was very adamant that he knew the thing happened. And then you've got the person who was allegedly the person who did the thing, who was saying in the clearest possible tone, I mean, this is really clear, that nothing like that happened. So here's my take. I don't think Tucker Carlson is a liar.
I also don't think Tom Cotton's a liar. as far as I know. But they can't both be right, because they're saying literally opposites. But I'm a little unclear about Tucker Carlson's source. Did somebody that Tucker trusted tell him that something happened? And was that communicated properly? Was it possible that the wrong name was in the story?
So if I had to pick a winner, I'm going to pick Tom Cotton. And the reason is that I consider myself quite good at detecting BS. And the way Tom Cotton explained his complete lack of involvement in this, having done nothing even close to it, is the way that honest people talk.
if he were lying what you'd look for is stuff like a very specific answer i'll make this up this would not be a good example but it would be something like i did not talk to tucker on tuesday or i've never had a conversation with tucker about this because i would still leave open that maybe he talked to somebody else right so there's a whole bunch of tells that liars leave

Chapter 6: What recent changes are happening in Greenland's political landscape?
Well, meanwhile, RFK Jr. has called for the top executives of some of the big food companies like Raff Heinz and General Mills and some others to remove artificial dyes before the end of his term. Makes me wonder why that would take so long. Why would it take so long? to remove artificial dyes. You can't do that in a year. It takes four years to do that.
Because if Europe has been removing these artificial dyes forever, can't you just say, ring, ring, hey, Europe, what are you doing right that we're doing wrong? Oh, you just don't put them in there. Got it. Isn't there some easy way to do this? Like, just don't do it? I don't know. But maybe there's a food replacement that acts as a dye that's more organic.
And maybe there's a supply... There might be a supply limitation on whatever it is that Europe uses that we don't. So maybe there's a reason. I mean, it'd be weird to say that he wants it before the end of his term if it were easier to do. So I'm going to trust that RFK Jr. knows what he's talking about there. But also... Daily Mail is reporting that five big restaurant chains in the U.S.
have decided to follow RFK Junior's lead on getting rid of seed oils. And instead of cooking with seed oil, they're going to be cooking with probably beef tallow. So I guess this has already happened at one of the chains, Steak and Shake. You probably saw the news. So the Steak and Shake restaurant chain already moved to beef tallow.
And it looks like Popeye's, Outback Steakhouse, Sweet Greens, and Buffalo Wild Wings have either already stopped or they're planning to stop using the seed oils. Now, how many of you are convinced that the seed oils are the devil and the beef tallow is the healthy answer? You know, I'm willing to believe it, but I don't trust any science anymore. I just don't trust science anymore.
So I don't doubt that there are studies that say that seed oil bad, beef tallow good. But this is the kind of science that's usually a coin flip. Meaning that if you took any of these studies and you tried to reproduce it, there's only a 40 or 50% chance you could. And I'm not criticizing just this domain of science. I'm criticizing all domains of science.
Because generally speaking, this kind of study is sort of a coin flip. I guarantee you that there are studies that say that the seed oils are fine, even if they're not. And I guarantee that there are studies that say the seed oils are the devil, even if they're not. So I hope the science is solid on this. But it does make me worry about cooking at home because you know what I don't do at home?
I don't use any beef tallow. I never even heard of beef tallow until like a month ago. What the hell is beef tallow? I know it's something I'm not going to put in my body because I just don't eat. Never mind. You don't need to know. But I don't know. It seems like is olive oil suddenly, did olive oil suddenly go from the healthiest thing you can cook with to the devil? Did it really?
So this is the sort of thing where I feel like if you backed up 20 years and waited to see how it all shook up, I just don't know if the science holds up. I just really don't trust it. I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm just saying I don't know why you'd believe it was right, given what we've seen about every other bit of science. Meanwhile, Linda McMahon, the secretary of education,

Chapter 7: What are the latest controversies involving media and misinformation?
Once they're in his frame, that's when the fun begins. That's when the negotiating begins. And he did that. Nobody's ever done that. Nobody's ever done that. And I would argue, I don't think anybody could. I don't think anybody can do what he's done already. Just already. Now, will it all work out? I don't know. I don't know.
Will it allow more manufacturing to flow back to this country faster than it would have? I don't know. But it's a hell of a good bet. I'm going to do something that I normally don't do. I'm going to give some investment advice. But you've got to be really careful with this one because this one's risky, all right?
And it's also not advice I'm going to take because I'm a certain age, so I'm not gambling too much with my money at the moment. But if I were younger and I saw that the stock market had just taken a gigantic shit because it didn't understand what was happening, I'd be buying hard. And here's the philosophy behind it. The philosophy behind it is
invest in once-ever situations, the things that will never happen again. So one of the reasons known Tesla stock, and again, these are not stock recommendations, I'm simply describing a manner of investing. So don't take it as a recommendation, please. But if you said to yourself, wait a minute, there's only one time in history that Tesla will introduce robots. It's only going to happen once.
There's only one time in history that Tesla will introduce self-driving cars. Only once. You can make an argument for other things like NVIDIA. There's only one time that AI will be brand new. Just once. So if you can find those situations, such as the introduction of the smartphone when Apple did it, that's only going to happen once, the introduction.
If you had invested in Apple when they introduced the smartphone, well, you'd be pretty happy right now, wouldn't you? So I can't recommend Tesla, especially because there's a lot of political risk overhanging it. So if you buy it and it doesn't go well, don't blame me. But what I'm saying is this tariff situation is a once-ever change. It's a gigantic sea change if Trump pulls it off.
And the reshoring of manufacturing? Once. It's only going to happen once. So whenever you see one of these gigantic changes that could only happen once by their very nature, that's when you should get serious about looking at your investments because those are the changes that give you the big hits that are different from, oh, this company makes 14% profit per year. I guess I'll get some of that.
I mean, that could be a great idea too as long as you diversify. So the only advice I'm going to give you is diversification. Diversification. Make sure that you don't put too much money in any one thing, and it'd be good to spread it around. But we might be looking at one of the greatest economic revivals in all of history. It might not work, but here's the other part of the advice.
If it doesn't work, We're all dead. Because if we don't doge the national debt away, we cannot survive that. So when you have a situation where if things don't go well, none of your money is going to be worth anything. Literally, your money won't be worth anything. The whole thing falls apart if we can't get the $40 trillion of debt under control. If we can...
