Chapter 1: What is the main highlight of today's episode?
Chaos is good for stock markets because stocks are up again today. Not bad. Let's check out our comments and then we can do a show that you deserve. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. 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'd like to try to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that would be 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 right now. Go. Excellent. Sublime. Sublime. Well, according to the University of Amsterdam, conservative Americans consistently distrust science, a survey finds. Now, do you think there's something wrong with this analysis?
Chapter 2: Should we trust science?
The assumption is that you should trust science. Should you? Should you trust science when half of peer-reviewed papers don't pan out and healthcare science looks like it's completely made up and vaccinations are just barely tested in any way that you would recognize? What did I hear the other day? Uh...
I think I heard that in some kind of drug testing, they do a pre-trial and then the people who are at bad side effects in the pre-trial, they remove them and then they go on with the trial. So they basically remove the people who had problems and then they do the trial. So it's completely fake.
And apparently that's a standard procedure to remove the people who had problems and then start the trial. start the trial after that no i think conservatives are right science is sketchy i think climate models are weird i think that uh yeah plenty of reasons to die with science but here's some science
According to Neuroscience News, they figured out how to change LSD to take out the good parts, you know, the part where you have hallucinations. And then they give it to schizophrenics. And apparently it helps. That's the early word. So if you'd like to help a schizophrenic, all you need is some special LSD with a couple of molecules taken out.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of modifying LSD for schizophrenia?
I don't know where you get it, but that's according to Neuroscience News. Do you believe that one? Do you conservatives trust that they've modified LSD to fix schizophrenics? What are the odds you'll ever see that as like a standard treatment? I feel like every time I read any kind of science news during the show, my first thought is, we're never going to see that.
Every single day I see a new study where, not a study, but an announcement where somebody's made a battery breakthrough. Like, wait, battery breakthrough. We can charge it in 10 seconds and it lasts 1,000 miles. We're never going to see that. All of these announcements are made up, I think.
I mean, they're based on something, but I don't think any of that's going to turn into anything you care about. Well, let's see how smart you are. According to Rasmussen, what percentage of voters disagree with having ID to vote? What percent of voters disagree with being able to prove you're a citizen with ID before you vote? You are correct.
26%.
If you're new to the show, it's sort of a running gag that no matter what the survey is, no matter what the topic is, 25% of the people who answer the survey will be just whack. They'll just have the wrong answer. Not having ID to vote. That's just the wrong answer. That's not an opinion. That's just wrong. You're just wrong. All right. So it turns out that dolphins can talk.
So somebody's using AI to decipher dolphin talk. And I guess the idea is that we'd eventually be able to have a conversation with dolphins. And I, for one, can't get enough of that. Because what if dolphins are really good conversationalists? That'd be weird, wouldn't it? It's like, not only do they talk, but they'd be like, hello, Mr. Adams. How was your day today?
You'd be like, man, you're a good conversationalist. That'd be so cool. So I want to get a talking dolphin. I think I just put some AI on it, and next thing you know, boom, talking. So that would be the first conversation, they say, between humans and another intelligent species. I don't know. I've been talking to my dog for a long time, but she doesn't talk back.
So this happened the other day, but... Remember when Trump was with Bukele at the White House and Trump was mocking Caitlin Collins of CNN and he made the claim that CNN hates America? CNN hates America. And then Dana Bash was on. As soon as they cut away from that, they went to Dana Bash. And she wanted to let us know that the CNN does not hate America.
Now, let me give you a little persuasion tip. If you're defending yourself against the charge of hating America, you're already losing. Because as soon as you hear that, even if the only thing you heard was the defense and you didn't hear any of the accusations, you say to yourself, hmm, nobody ever asked me if I hate America. Why does CNN have to answer whether they hate America?

Chapter 4: How does CNN respond to claims of hating America?
Like somehow the buildings had turned all that metal into dust. And there was like nothing but a big pile of dust at the bottom. And I thought, that doesn't look natural. I mean, that doesn't even look like a plane in it. And then, of course, there's Building 7 that never made any sense. So I think I'm squarely on the conspiracy theory side, but I don't know which conspiracy theory.
So I don't know. There's probably about five different versions of conspiracy theories. One of them is that the planes were operated remotely, and they were not even piloted by the hijackers. I don't know. Maybe. I doubt it, though. I don't think you could be that accurate doing it remotely, but maybe. Maybe. I'm open to any theories about that because none of it looked organic or real.
And we don't live in a country where the committee that studies it can be trusted, you know, ever. So there's something going on. Well, you may have heard that China, in retaliation for the tariffs, Trump's tariffs, is using what I call the Dilbert method to deny us rare earth materials. Now, it's only seven of them. So if you want to get some samarium or gadolinium,
or if you're a little low on terbium, or you just can't get enough dysprosium or lutetium, If you'd like some scandium or yttrium, it's going to be harder to do. But instead of saying we're not going to give you these, China does a total Dilbert. And instead of saying, you know, you can't have them, they say, well, there'll be some new restrictions and you have to just apply.
So you can't just buy them. You have to apply. And it doesn't apply just to the United States. It's to everybody. But it's kind of genius because they can say, we didn't ban them. You just have to fill out the paperwork and you can have them. But how long is it going to take for them to process the paperwork? I think if it's America, it's going to take a while.
So that's a classic Dilbert trick where you're acting like you're completely helping. Oh, no, it's just some paperwork. Yeah, we can even tell you how to fill it out. Here you go. Just fill out this paperwork and you can get your rare earth minerals. Well, good luck with that because it looks like they're going to Dilbert that.
According to the Macau News, China is significantly outpacing the US and the European Union in the use of AI and research. Is that good? How are they using AI in research? Is it writing the research papers? I don't think there's anything that it does that would help research because you can't really trust it like you would like to trust science. So how does that work?
Anyway, I feel like this is just another one of those things where on any given day, I'll see a story that everything that China builds is crap. And they don't know how to do anything, and their buildings fall down, and their bridges fall down, and their bridges are made with corn. Actually, corn. I read that today. There was some bridge that the inner structure was part corn. Yeah.
Corn on the cob even. It wasn't even just the corn. So I don't know if that's true. But then you hear another story. It's like they're way ahead of us on science and they're way ahead of us in AI. I don't think we know anything about China. China is just like a black box to me because it's either falling apart and they're on the verge of going out of business

Chapter 5: What does Biden's potential speech reveal about his current state?
introduced the bill that students can live in their cars on campus parking lots now they would hope it would be temporary at least that's what they'd hope um but just think about the fact that a student at let's see which of the colleges uh california state university locations 20 california community colleges
and that people are going to live in their cars because there's not access to affordable housing. There's housing. It's just not affordable. All right. Do you remember the mayor of Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu? According to the National Pulse, her campaign in 2021 accepted $300,000 from a fundraiser reportedly tied to a Chinese Communist Party influence agency.
Do you ever wonder how much money China spends influencing Americans? It's got to be a lot. By the way, you don't hear the heavy equipment right outside my window, do you? It's not supposed to start until 8, but they like to get a jump on it. I've heard that you can't hear it because my microphone is nicely directional. But boy, can I hear it.
Yeah, 300,000 from a Chinese Communist Party influence agency. Now, again, I have to complain. as far as i know nobody's ever offered to bribe me and i'm thinking what's up with that like i'm pretty sure i wouldn't take a bribe to you know influence but nobody offered come on at least offer so i can turn it down well meanwhile over in france a number of their prisons have been attacked.
So there's gunfire and cars on fire and all kinds of chaos. But at least eight prisons around France were hit overnight. And some are saying it's the narco underworld, that it's basically the drug criminals, and that they're mad because it's a pushback against France's new anti-drug crackdown. So apparently the drug, the underworld drug people,
in France have enough firepower that they can attack eight prisons at the same time. I swear to God I saw this story completely different earlier in the day. I thought it looked like an Islamic attack, but then it morphed into a narco underworld attack. So that's probably the true one. Anyway.
Well, negotiator Witkoff, who was trying to negotiate peace for Trump in these various wars, he talked to Vladimir Putin, and he said that the talks were, quote, compelling. Does that sound like he's going to have some peace right away? The talks were compelling. That doesn't sound good. I mean, it doesn't sound like progress.
He said the Russian leader was open to a permanent peace deal with Ukraine. Yeah, that's what everybody says. And then Wyckoff says, I think we might be in the verge of something that would be very, very important for the world at large. It took a while for us to get to this place. Do you think they're really close? I don't. I don't think they're close.
I don't know what they've agreed to or what they haven't, but I'm going to say not close. And Wyckoff said that after five years of talks, he saw a deal, quote, emerging, and a possibility to reshape the Russian-United States relationship through compelling, there it is, compelling again, commercial opportunities that would give real stability to the region. What do you think that would be?

Chapter 6: What is the latest on Biden's emails and alleged corruption?
Rare earth minerals and gas? I don't know. So I'm going to say, sounds good, but I don't think it's real. I don't think it's real, but maybe I'm wrong. Meanwhile, Ukraine has developed what they call the Alligator 9 drones for the sea. So I guess it's a drone on the ocean that can release other drones.
So it's an unmanned ship that can let other drones fly out of it and attack things, well, attack the Russian Navy, basically. Now, what it doesn't say is apparently this is a Ukraine invention. So nobody's saying that they bought it from somebody. Has Ukraine reached a point where they can develop really high-tech drones and that they can make them in Ukraine?
Or are they coming from somewhere else and Ukraine is just taking credit for it? But it does seem to me that if the peace deal doesn't get done pretty soon, the war is going to turn into just a total drone war. Because Ukraine doesn't have enough people. So they're just going to use drones for everything. So it looks like they're going to drone it up for the Navy. They also have a laser.
So they can put a laser on this Alligator 9. And it can shoot down drones or fry enemies. Well, it can launch its own drones, but it can fry enemy drones and helicopters and missiles. So really, did Ukraine really invent something that has laser defense and is super high tech and it can launch all these other drones against ships?
I feel like somebody must be behind it more than Ukraine, but on the other hand, Ukraine was working pretty hard to become the best military drone country, and they needed it, so maybe they did do it. Wall Street Journal is reporting that Wyckoff said the U.S. Talk about their Iran deal. So Wyckoff said that the U.S.
is prepared to allow Iran to enrich uranium at a low level if it is subject to stringent verification, which would be a significant shift in the White House's position. Do you think that Iran is going to literally say, all right, we won't make a nuke? Because it's all they have to say. And then there's a peace deal. I'm not even sure they need to mean it. They just need to say it.
So I think the game from Iran will be to stall maybe as long as possible while they're building their nuke.
but i think maybe at some point they're just going to say yeah totally we agree not to have a nuke while they're building it in their secret under you know secret mountain fortress because you know they're doing all the good stuff deep underground you know you you can't imagine that there's a factory sitting above ground that could get bombed so how would we ever really know if iran stopped making nuclear weapons
How would we ever know that? Because don't you think they could hide that completely? I don't know. Seems like we'd never really know. So I don't think there's going to be an Iran deal anytime soon. I saw on the Hill the headline that says there's a buzz building around AOC's future. A buzz. A buzz. I don't think there is.

Chapter 7: How are migrants being flown into the U.S.?
I mean, how would she do in a debate against J.D. Vance? I feel like she wouldn't do that well, because he's good at it. We'll see. Well, there's a new cement, according to Sujitia Sinha. There's a new cement that can turn heat into electricity, and then the building can help power itself.
I saw a bunch of comments when I reposted this on X. Everybody thought that the building was going to collapse and it's terrible cement and that it's a bio-inspired material with a Seebeck coefficient of negative 40.5 millivolts. I don't know what any of that means. But apparently they're going to have super cement.
I don't know if I'd want to build my building with a cement that was made to develop power, because it's made out of corn. The building is mostly made out of corn. Anyway, that's all we got for today. I'm noticing that a lot of the news just looks the same. So instead of just covering every story, if it looks like the same news you've seen somewhere else, then it's not fun to talk about.
So Trump's going to get busy this week, and you've got your taxes to pay today. Remember, it's Tax Day. Don't forget. Don't forget. I won't take your calls. I can see why. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for joining. I'm going to talk to the locals people privately. And the rest of you, I'll see same time, same place tomorrow. Thanks for joining.
