Chapter 1: What is the highlight of Coffee with Scott Adams?

8.644 - 30.093 Scott Adams

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you want to take a chance of even making it yet better, all you need for that is a cup of burger, a glass of tanker, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

0

30.876 - 62.063 Scott Adams

And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine in a day thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Good stuff. Well, if you subscribe to the Dilbert comic, Dilbert Reborn it's called, which you can only see if you're subscribing either on Axe or on Locals. You would know that Dilbert's company is having a problem with China.

0

63.264 - 94.938 Scott Adams

So China is going to steal the IP of Dilbert's company, and Dilbert's going to try to fix that by moving his manufacturing to Elbonia. Things don't go well. That's all I can tell you. It doesn't go well. All right. Let's see if there's any science that didn't need to happen. Oh, here's one. Did you know, according to Neuroscience News, that shared meals strongly link to greater happiness?

0

96.058 - 122.334 Scott Adams

So one in four people don't eat a meal with other people, but the people who eat with other people are happier. I think they could have just asked me on that one. Do you know why people don't eat with other people? Because they don't have any friends or family to eat with. Pretty much everybody who has some kind of a functional social life is eating with other people.

0

123.155 - 150.734 Scott Adams

So, yeah, I think I could have told you that you'd be happier if your social life is good enough that at least one person wants to eat with you. If you can't find even one person, you're probably... Lonely and single. All right. Well, you probably heard that there was a disgusting arson attack against Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. This one's a really scary one. This is really scary.

Chapter 2: What happened to Governor Josh Shapiro?

151.194 - 183.513 Scott Adams

So apparently the attacker, some 38-year-old guy, he forcibly entered the residence while the family was asleep and set fire to the place while the family was asleep. Now, luckily it looks to me like the governor's residence is a pretty big place. So people must've seen it and called it in and the police department, uh, or I'm sorry, the fire department put it out and rescued the family.

0

183.533 - 214.161 Scott Adams

So the family is okay. Uh, I'd like to disavow that violence. I don't know what the purpose was. We don't know anything about the, the perpetrator, but, uh, I don't want to be like those Democrats who don't disavow the domestic terrorism against Tesla. So the first thing I did was disavow. David Axelrod, notable Democrat advisor type, he politicized that right away.

0

215.962 - 245.271 Scott Adams

And he goes, where's the POTUS, the president? Did I miss it? Or has he not said or posted a word about it yet? Well, that's a good question. I would have liked to see Trump immediately respond to that and say that it's a horrible thing. But J.D. Vance did. He says, Vance said, thanks be to God that Governor Shapiro and his family were unharmed in this attack. Really disgusting violence.

0

245.411 - 274.35 Scott Adams

I hope whoever did it is brought swiftly to justice. So at least we got J.D. Vance in there. I'll be interested to see what Trump says. because he's so unpredictable, you know, with his chaos and everything. Well, I guess the all-female crew on the Jeff Bezos rocket, they've already gone up and spent 10 minutes in space, and they're already down.

0

275.65 - 306.182 Scott Adams

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but none of them were driving the rocket, right? It must have been all automated, because the people who were on the trip... Uh, it included one former NASA scientist, but the rest just seemed to be celebrities and one wife of Bezos. So they were just sort of along for the ride, right? I don't know. So I guess nobody was driving that thing, but it's back safely.

307.303 - 342.264 Scott Adams

And, uh, I don't know what was the point of the all-female crew. Did we really need to do an all-female crew? Given that there was no skill whatsoever involved, had it been a skill job where you had highly trained people, then I would say, well, an all-female crew, maybe that's saying something. But if they're just literally just sitting there as passengers, why do they have to be all female?

343.244 - 374.237 Scott Adams

Because women can be passengers too. Every guy who has ever been married knows that women can be passengers. How much do they drive the car when you're both in the car? Yeah, I think women can be passengers. I'm glad we settled that. Well, Trump had his physical. And there was official documents that came out from the doctors, I guess. And it didn't have the amusing hyperbole that I was expecting.

375.338 - 391.867 Scott Adams

But he does look healthier than 90% of the public, you know, given the details and the report. He looks pretty damn healthy. But they had to work in, because it's Trump, he got the doctors to work in

392.529 - 419.64 Scott Adams

something about his busy schedule they you know he's healthy enough to do a busy schedule with lots of meetings and then this this phrase is actually in his medical report quote and frequently in frequent victories and golf events frequent victories and golf events can you imagine your your doctor putting that on your your physical It's the only thing I'll remember.

Chapter 3: What insights did Trump’s physical reveal?

889.48 - 919.106 Scott Adams

because apparently when they do events out there, if the grass is a little wet, you can't wear high heels, and it's sort of a mess. So yeah, if they can't fix that, and you can only use it when the weather is just so, might as well have a ballroom. Actually, that makes perfect sense to me. So Trump is mad that the TV show is 60 minutes again. I guess on Sunday they had at least two segments

0

919.986 - 946.666 Scott Adams

that he considers dishonestly negative to him. And he just went off on him and claims, you know, he's already claimed that they rigged the interview with Kamala Harris to edit in answers that didn't sound stupid. And so he's already suing. Now he's calling for their license to be revoked. 60 minutes. Do you think that's too far?

0

948.658 - 980.06 Scott Adams

I don't know, because they definitely don't seem to be acting like a news program, but they're presenting themselves as some kind of objective, trusting news source. But they are a little bit more on the propaganda side. So he's got a good case there. We'll see. Stephen A. Smith was asked yet again on one of the shows if he's thinking about running for president.

0

980.701 - 1009.187 Scott Adams

Now, remember, the question is, are you thinking about it, not are you going to do it? And he said, I have no choice. I have no choice. He says that a whole bunch of important people and elected officials are coming up to him and asking him to run because they think he'd be good. But he just signed a massive deal with ESPN, the kind that completely changes your life. The money is just gigantic.

0

1010.388 - 1033.813 Scott Adams

And you would have to give that up if he ran for president. And so I'm going to predict, because he mentioned that as well, I'm going to predict that nobody gives up that much money to run for president. So I think he's having fun with it in the same way Trump used to, you know, just sort of tease that you might do it. And I don't know how old he is, Stephen A. Smith.

1033.873 - 1055.586 Scott Adams

He's in good shape, so, you know, could be anything. But it would make sense for him to run out his ESPN contract having people begging him to be running for president, and then decide if he wants to run for president after he's done with ESPN. So maybe, unless he gets another enormous deal, he might.

1057.891 - 1086.105 Scott Adams

So according to Fox News, there's at least one retailer, I think it's a retailer, somebody called Dame, D-A-M-E, I don't even know who that is, that's going to put the tariff cost on the bill, the receipt, so that when you're buying your stuff, you'll see the taxes and then you'll see the tariff. And how is Trump going to explain that?

1088.139 - 1113.924 Scott Adams

One of the, to me, the funniest thing that's happened in a while is that, remember how Trump started off saying that China would be paying us all these tariffs? And then the people who know how tariffs work would say, China doesn't pay the tariff. It's the American company who has the product who's going to pass that tariff cost along to the consumer. So the consumer pays the tariff.

1115.343 - 1137.883 Scott Adams

unless the American company absorbs it. And if you start putting the tariff on the receipt, doesn't that settle the question of who's paying it? Because you're literally handing them a credit card, and you can see right there, it says, here's the tariff amount. So how is Trump going to explain

Chapter 4: What is the 'Department of Imaginary Concerns'?

1284.356 - 1316.276 Scott Adams

I forget his first name, but Halpern. So this was a British guy who claimed that General Flynn had left a 2014 foreign meeting alone with a Russian scholar named Svetlana something, when he was a three-star general leading the Defense Intelligence Agency. Now, apparently that was just made up. And when I think it was the FBI realized it was just made up, what did they do?

0

1317.797 - 1346.631 Scott Adams

Once they realize it's totally low credibility and their source is not reliable, what did they do? What did they do when I found out Christopher Steele wasn't reliable? They used it anyway. So they very clearly knew that they were putting together a whole bunch of bullshit, and they just did it anyway. So it's just what you think it was. It was an op, and it was completely illegal.

0

1347.851 - 1369.578 Scott Adams

And every one of the people involved should go to jail, but probably none will. Well, I was wondering how popular it was that Trump is dismantling the Department of Education. But according to Breitbart's Katherine Hamilton, she's writing about this, Rasmussen had a poll that 51% of likely U.S. voters think it's a good idea.

0

1371.201 - 1398.03 Scott Adams

So Trump, once again, is on the side of most Americans, slightly, just over 50%, but it's still a majority. So he's doing a hell of a job of being on the right side of things, at least in terms of the majority of the country. This is fun. There's a newly appointed U.S. attorney that handles the L.A. area, and he's going to look into...

0

1399.731 - 1425.491 Scott Adams

he's going to look into where all the money went that was supposed to go to helping the homeless you know the part where it was millions and millions of dollars and there was just nothing happened what do you think he's going to find i'll tell you my my view on the cities is that they're all criminal organizations you can't really expect to have all these elected officials

1425.95 - 1449.975 Scott Adams

whose job it is to decide who gets the contracts for the millions of dollars that are flowing through, you can't expect that not to be corrupt. It's designed so you're just begging for it. Of course they're corrupt. Every time. Probably every city, doesn't matter red or blue, because you put people in that position and they're going to get a lot of offers.

1451.129 - 1477.249 Scott Adams

And some of them are going to look irresistible. So, yeah, I assume that all of these are basically criminal organizations. Frank Luntz had an amusing survey. The first question was, America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing. So Americans were asked, you know, America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing. 80% agreed.

1479.384 - 1509.034 Scott Adams

80% said it'd be good if more Americans were in manufacturing. But then he said, I would be better off if I worked in a factory. And it turns out that 73% disagree. So this is something I've been observing for a while. We Americans think that other Americans should work in factories and that they'd be so happy. Do you know anybody who's ever worked in a factory? Were they delighted?

1510.395 - 1545.319 Scott Adams

My mother used to work in a factory in upstate New York. She was getting the money together to pay for college for the kids. And it was a, I think it was minimum wage. And her job was to wind copper wire around the coils of speakers. So it was a company that made stereo speakers. And so for eight hours a day, she would just wind wire around an object. Do you think she loved it for a minimum?

Chapter 5: Why is Trump meeting with President Bukele?

1928.363 - 1956.61 Scott Adams

So slowly but ramping up quickly, is, according to the New York Post, America is making a huge, huge bunch of energy about nuclear energy. So there's a whole bunch happening, such as over 200 bills have already been introduced to support or subsidize nuclear energy. 25 states passed legislation to support advanced nuclear energy.

0

1957.15 - 1987.856 Scott Adams

So pretty much everywhere realizes that they're going to need a lot more electricity now a lot of it is because of ai um so nuclear now is looking like the thing and most of the interest is in these smrs small modular reactors so they'd be about a third the size of a you know a big factory or a big nuclear plant but uh since the the big ones have been built

0

1989.076 - 2015.988 Scott Adams

From the time, I don't know how long it is, but from the time the first big nuclear facility has been built, there are all kinds of safety procedures and things that have been built into these new ones. So it'd be a lot easier to build the small ones as needed and put them wherever you want. So nuclear, definitely happening fast. But what about this? According to NoRidge,

0

2018.0 - 2040.661 Scott Adams

There's a new chip that could cut energy use by 99% for AI. So specifically, they're looking at AI and its massive energy needs. And they have a chip that uses light, as it's a major transmission part within the chip. And they say they've got a major breakthrough.

0

2040.681 - 2074.747 Scott Adams

They've created a new kind of AI hardware that uses light instead of electricity, and that alone would reduce the electrical load by 99%. Now, people who know how the real world work looked at this story and said, that's not going to be so easy. So going from a laboratory idea that works in a lab to actually building chips, not easy. But this is part of my prediction.

2078.128 - 2102.948 Scott Adams

My prediction is that the prediction of how much energy we'll need for the next 20 years is probably way off because there are going to be a number of people who try to figure out a low-cost, low-energy way to do the things that right now are high energy. So I think we'll be okay. This fits within the Adams Law of Slow-Moving Disasters. We don't have enough energy.

2103.068 - 2117.383 Scott Adams

There's no way we'll, but we have time. Not a lot of time, but I think everybody knows it's a problem and a lot of people are working on it. So I think lots more low energy AI stuff is coming, I think.

2119.335 - 2149.411 Scott Adams

Well, you might not know, but the Washington Examiner knows that there are some Republicans who are not happy at all with the budget process that the Trump administration and other Republicans are trying to push through because it does not meaningfully cut the budget to the point where we can survive. So I'm totally on board with the... Totally on board with the hawks.

2150.572 - 2170.747 Scott Adams

Because I think Doge didn't give us anything close to the savings that we needed. And I think Trump just took the... Trump basically took the Doge savings and put it into the military. Exactly what I was worried was going to happen. So it's not really even the savings. All they did was move the money somewhere else.
