Chapter 1: What is the main theme of Coffee with Scott Adams?
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 for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or 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, the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen Now. So good. That was a little extra good. All right, today after the show, because it's Saturday, there will be an after party.
Owen Gregorian will be hosting that on Spaces, the audio-only service within the X platform. So just look for Owen Gregorian, or you can look for my X account, and it has a repost there. But make sure you watch it, the after party, right after the show. All right. So I wonder if there's any science that could have been skipped if they had just asked me instead. Oh, yeah, there is.
According to SciPost, agnostics are more indecisive, neurotic, and prone to maximizing choices. So agnostics are less decisive than atheists and Christians. You know how they could have come to that same conclusion, spending a lot less money and taking a lot less time? Just ask me, hey, do you think agnostics are as certain as atheists and Christians? And I would say, probably not.
Do you think they can rapidly order at the cheesecake factory? I would say, probably not. Probably not. You don't need to study that one. So next time ask me. ChatGPT has a very big upgrade, which is scary, but oh so useful. So you decide how much fear you want, but Ars Technica is reporting on it. Samuel Lacson, that now ChatGPT will be able to remember if you set it to do that.
You have the option of turning it off. It will remember all of your prior conversations. So if you were asking ChatGPT about a certain topic months ago, and then you wanted to follow up, you wouldn't have to re-explain everything again. You would already know, oh, this person already asked me these questions, so I don't need to answer the same stuff again.
I'll just add this new thing that they asked me about. So how much more useful that will become is a lot. That's a pretty big advancement. It's hard to imagine they can store all that, but they've got a lot of data centers. So that's coming. Well, Trump had his physical. We don't have the results yet. But I did a comic yesterday called Robots Read News. Those of you on Locals get to see it only.
And Robots Read News is literally a robot and a sex doll who do the news. And I'm going to compare what Trump said himself about the results of his medical exam. And then I'm going to... And then I'm going to compare it to the joke version that I wrote before Trump spoke about it. And I want you to see if I captured the vibe of it approximately correct. All right. So here's what Trump said.
The doctor hasn't said anything yet. But Trump said, overall, I felt I was in very good shape. A good heart, a good soul, very good soul, right? A very good soul. Which medical test tested the soul? It looks like your soul is doing great, Mr. President. You're at 100% in the soul. No one in the world would have said that.

Chapter 2: What updates were made to ChatGPT?
His testicles are like bowling balls, and his ear grew back better. Now, don't you think I captured the vibe? His ear grew back better. There's no way you can report his medical examination straightforward. It just has to be funny, because you know the real one's going to be hilarious. Whatever it is the doctor says is going to have to be approved by Trump.
So it's going to be classic, whatever it is. Anyway, let's talk about some news. So Trump signed the executive order. I guess he's going to end federal funding for sanctuary cities. So if you're a sanctuary city, basically you're shit out of luck for federal funding. And he is serious about this whole, about closing the border and shipping people back. He's really serious.
In case you wondered, is he just joking? No. No, he's completely serious. So sanctuary cities, you could have a little trouble. That would include Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and others. So we'll see if they bow to that. Meanwhile, if you didn't think that was tough enough, according to the Gateway Pundit, Do you remember Alina Haba, who was one of Trump's attorneys?
Well, she's now the U.S. attorney of New Jersey. So she's a U.S. attorney there, and she's opening a criminal probe into the governor of New Jersey. for obstructing ICE. So apparently the governor said they wouldn't cooperate with ICE trying to deport people. So that would be obstruction with the federal government's law enforcement.
So Alina Haba is going to do a criminal probe into the governor for saying no to the federal government. Now that's pretty serious. That's pretty serious. Meanwhile, Doge has inserted itself so that there's some kind of federal grant website I've never heard of, grants.gov. But apparently this website is sort of the central clearing place for $500 billion a year in awards for
Let's see, the grants are for, what are they for? Grants, they're a bunch of grants. So I guess there's a lot of different grants for a lot of different things. But Doge is going to make sure that any of those grants get looked at by Doge. So all the crazy stuff, like a million dollars to find clothing for squirrels. I made that one up, but it could have been real.
Or $20 million to turn insects gay. I made that one up too, but they sound kind of real, don't they? All right, so that's happening. CNN, I was watching CNN yesterday after the market closed. It was in the afternoon. And it was hilarious because it looked like they wrote their entire opening monologue, the host, before they saw the market closed up.
So what they had already written was the market is full of volatility and uncertainty and there's chaos and volatility and the volatility and the uncertainty. But what actually happened was that the market closed up.
The actual news should have been, well, it looks like the market has adjusted to whatever volatility and uncertainty there is, or it looks like the market understands now what Trump's trying to accomplish and can see that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel, so the market is a little more confident, so it ended up

Chapter 3: What did Trump say about his health?
That's just like acting like you know something. So if anybody asks you how the economy is going to go, just shake your head and say, I think we're very close to recession. Very close. And then later, when somebody checks on you, you go, I didn't say we'd have a recession. I said we were very close. Thank goodness we didn't. Yeah, you could win either way.
Well, according to the Financial Times, they've got some data. John Byrne Murdoch is writing about this, that the Europeans have canceled a ton of travel to the United States. So let's see if you can find out what's wrong with this story. All right. So I only saw the posts. There was a thread on it with graphs and stuff. So the thread said that the...
The number of people traveling from Europe to the U.S. in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%. Plummeted by as much as 35%. And travelers have canceled plans in response to Trump's policies and rhetoric and horror stories from the border. Now, here's my first question. Remember I taught you that if somebody gives you the percentage without the raw numbers,
or they give you the raw numbers without the percentages, that that's not news, that's propaganda. This is percentages without raw numbers. That's propaganda. The second question I would ask is, how much of this is Easter related? And would there normally be an uptick in travel from Europe around Easter, or would people more likely want to stay home
because they might want to celebrate Easter at home. I don't know. So I wonder about that. I also wonder, has travel from the US to Europe gone down? And then I wonder how many people are involved. For example, how many people were coming from Austria to the United States? What would be the baseline? Because I've lived in the United States my entire life.
I've never met an Austrian who was on vacation. I've never met one. Or they said that Denmark really fell off. I have never met anybody from Denmark who was on vacation. It can't be that many people. Now, I have met Germans and people from the UK, so they definitely go on vacation.
But all these little countries that I've never even met a single person who's been on vacation from those places, do we really care? And does it matter? Here's the story they're trying to tell, the bad guys, is that Trump has ruined the United States brand for a generation. Do you believe that? No.
The minute people are happy with the United States, either because Trump's out of office or because they like the job he's done, they'll just come back. There's no such thing as judging another country by its brand. There's only what's happening right now and how do you feel right now. At the moment, I wouldn't go near Great Britain. I wouldn't go near it. Actually, I wouldn't go to Europe at all.
But I could easily see that changing. If the conditions that make Europe seem unpalatable at the moment, if they were to change, I'd say, oh, different conditions? Maybe yes. So I don't know how much of a story that is. But I would note that The big complaint that Democrats have about Trump and about Musk is that they're in it for themselves.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Alina Haba's new position?
And that he's running completely unchecked. Is that real? My understanding is that the department heads, the cabinet heads, have the final say on any cuts. That's the opposite of unchecked. It's literally the opposite of the news that everybody is aware of. So that's imaginary. We'll assign that to the Department of Imaginary Concerns.
And then there was a complaint that Musk's actions were bad and his treatment of federal workers is bad. Well, what would those actions be? And what exactly is he doing to federal workers that they're supposed to like when they're being downsized? There's no such thing as employees being downsized who are happy about it, who think it happened the right way.
Nobody ever gets fired and says, you know, I don't like getting fired, but I have to admit, the way they did it, very good. They just handled it right. Nobody says that. These are completely imaginary concerns. Rachel Maddow was warning people that Musk might share their tax information, and that would be very illegal.
Okay, that would be kind of illegal, but why exactly would he be sharing anybody's tax information? That's completely imaginary. That's the best they could come up with? He's going to share your tax information? Okay. The other thing is that Musk and Trump are going to take away your health care based on nothing.
They're doing the only thing you could do to maybe protect it, which is to get the debt under control. So opposite, imaginary. Trump's going to become a fascist, all imaginary. He's going to take away women's rights and gay rights. They stopped saying that because it's so dumb, but that was imaginary.

Chapter 5: How is Doge influencing federal grants?
And the only thing that Democrats have that's real, that's like a real issue that they can look to, is that the Republicans are looking to get rid of trans men in women's sports. Now, what's funny about that is that the only real issue they have, because that's really happening, there really are trans in women's sports and they really are being banned by Trump's administration.
But the funny part is that the issue itself is people imagining something that's not real. They're imagining that they're another gender or another sex.
Now, you could argue whether they're imagining it or not, but it's funny that that's the exception, that the exception is based on what most of you would say is people just imagining something that's not real, that their sex is something different than it is. Okay. According to the New York Times, the Democrats' greatest leader, Kamala Harris, is contemplating all of her future possible moves.
But one of the things she's thinking about, and I don't think this would be funny if it came from anybody else, but she's considering an institute for policy and ideas. It would be the world's smallest institute because they don't have any policies and they don't have any ideas. I think you could fit the entire thing in a phone booth.
It's like, oh, where's your building, the Institute for Policies and Ideas? Well... You see that shed over there? Yes, it's in that shed. What else is in the shed? Well, lawnmowers and tools and stuff. We didn't need the entire shed. We just needed a little corner of the shed. So that's funny. Apparently there's another wannabe potential Trump assassin who was caught in Butler, Pennsylvania.
What the hell is wrong with Butler, Pennsylvania that is producing... wannabe assassins. So this particular wannabe assassin doesn't sound like he was very well trained by anybody because he had been bragging online his plans to kill Trump and Elon Musk and other U.S. officials. And he reportedly purchased firearms after Trump took office.
Now, I'm assuming that this one is not being backed by any intelligence agency. groups from our country or anywhere else, because he seems a little uncontrollable, maybe a little bit crazy, or maybe just watches MSNBC. It'd be the same thing. So here's my strategic evaluation of the Democrat process. So they've decided that they're going to push this chaos thing, chaos, chaos, chaos.
At the same time, they're backing the protests against Tesla, which are chaos. So they're literally paying people to create chaos in the streets while they're complaining about all the chaos. That's the dumbest strategy I've ever seen.
um but the republicans haven't really called it out every time chaos comes up they should say you're literally paying for riots on our streets you're literally organizing them you know under the banner of democrats basically so you can't get any more chaos than trying to overthrow the current country making it too dangerous to go outside

Chapter 6: What are the implications of European tourists canceling trips to the US?
So Marwanani said, a crazy person doesn't live in the White House. A person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot lives there, which I know is effed up. It's just not as effed up as I thought it was. So he finally understands that Trump understands how to put on a show. And that if you believe the show was the person, then you were completely confused about anything that was going on.
And I think that was the case. How many times have I told you I've used the word that it's a show and that he uses hyperbole and he's playing to the audience? I've been telling you that forever. Of course, his real personality is not the show. The show is the show. The show is work. It's important in its own way, but the show is the show. It's not his personality.
And then Mars said that he walked away with nothing from the White House except hats and a very generous amount of time and a willingness to listen and accept me as a possible friend, even though I'm not MAGA, which was the point of the dinner. Wow. Wow. Now, again, I take you back to my prediction. So, you know, I've only spent 20 minutes with the president. It was in 2018.
But this was my exact experience. Exact experience. Just this. So right on point. I don't think it'll change, you know, Barr's criticism. Nobody expects him to. But it's such a reframe. It's incredible. So meanwhile, Taiwan has offered to drop tariffs and to buy more stuff from the U.S., Reuters says.
I don't want to get too excited about any offers from any countries on tariffs because once you get into the details, you know, things get crazy. Trump has said he wants to, according to the Brussels signal, he suggested linking tariff negotiations in Europe with U.S. troop deployment. He says those could be part of the same thing. What have I told you that Trump does well in negotiating?
One of the things he does is he brings things into the negotiation that you don't think are part of the negotiation. There's no Democrat who would have said we should talk about troop deployment in the same conversation as tariffs. Only one person. The one person who understands how to make a deal. So if bringing in extra variables gets you to the deal, well, you bring them in.
And I've said this a million times. If you can't make a deal, and throughout history, everybody's been stymied because they can't make a deal, whatever it is, tariffs or anything else, you just broaden the variables. You just add, well, what if we also included this other topic that we weren't talking about? Now, can we have a deal? It's just basic deal-making.
And only Trump seems to even understand that it exists as a technique, and then he uses it. So he said the same about South Korea, too, that troop deployment might be part of a tariff negotiation. Well, as you know from Doge, there were a lot of illegal migrants in the country who were given Social Security numbers.
And it turns out that the easiest way to fix that is to just change the database, if you know which ones are the non-citizens who have them. change the database to list them as dead. It's just easier. Because once you list them as dead, the system prevents you from using the Social Security number anymore. So you wouldn't be able to get an ID or vote or do all the things that you use it for.

Chapter 7: What criticisms do Democrats have about Trump and Musk?
With all of the efforts of the Democrats to protest Tesla and be against tariffs and everything's chaos, and it's just been a full-court press against Trump and Musk, and it brought him only to a tie as the midterms are looking ahead. And like I said, their biggest complaint is Elon Musk's contribution, and that could be completely wound down before the midterms. What have they got?
What happens if Trump has, I don't know, 25 trade deals lined up and they all look better than they used to be as we head into the midterms and China is isolated? I don't know. It might be a real bad day for Democrats. It's way too early to know. So you know that SAVE Act? That's the one where Republicans are trying to pass a law that everybody needs an ID to be able to vote.
Stephen Miller is reminding us that there's literally only one reason that Democrats would be in favor of not having an ID requirement to vote. There's only one reason. It's so you can get a bunch of illegal voters to vote for you. There's not really a second reason. Because that whole women can't get ID, nobody thinks that is true. Or that black people can't get ID and they want to vote.
Nobody thinks that's true. We're still waiting for the first example of that. You know, all day long, CNN will give you stories about, here's this fisherman whose business will be destroyed by tariffs. Here's this small business person who does business with Amazon and their business will be destroyed by tariffs.
Then you change the channel to Fox News and it's, here's this victim of illegal immigrants. Here's another victim of illegal immigrants. Any time you can find even one frickin' person to make your case, they get highlighted. Every single time. You only need to find one. just one victim or one example, and then you go wild of acting like it's representative of the whole. Sometimes it is.
But just think about how long we've been talking about black people who want to vote can't get ID, and now how long we've talked about divorced or unmarried women not being able to get ID, and yet not one example. Not one example. Now, how hard is it to find one example of anything? You could almost throw a dart at all the issues in the world, and you would almost certainly find one person.
who represents the point you're making, even if it's not representative of the whole. You can always find one, but they can't find one. And their base hasn't noticed. Somehow their base hasn't noticed that this is the only topic of all time, the only topic where you can't find one in the whole country. So that's just funny to me. Here is some controversial move Trump's making.
So allegedly, this hasn't happened yet, but I think CNN is reporting this, that the Trump administration is going to make big cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that would allegedly, we don't know that this is true yet. So far, this is rumored. Rumored based on documents, but rumored.
They would close all weather and climate labs and eviscerate the budget along with several NOAA, you know, NOAA offices. And the plan would cut the overall NOAA budget by 27%. A bunch of functions would be rolled into other groups. But they would go hard at the research office, cutting the research office by roughly 75%. Now, here's the context, which CNN, of course, will leave out.
