Chapter 1: What should I do with my stocks today?
My advice to you is, if you own stocks, don't look at them today. It's not a good day for stocks. But we're going to do a show that will take your mind off of all of that. It's going to be so good you won't even believe it. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization that's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and 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 of tanker shells or a tiny 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 end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Go. That's some good stuff. That's some good stuff. Well, I'd like to start off by reading a very special, it was an Easter message by Donald Trump, our president,
Chapter 2: What was President Trump's Easter message?
And because it's so sweet and empathetic and caring, I thought I would just read it for you. A dramatic reading from Truth Social from President Trump. Happy Easter to all, including the radical left lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring murderers, drug lords, dangerous prisoners, the mentally insane and well-known MS-13 gang members and wife beaters back into our country.
Happy Easter also to the weak and ineffective judges and law enforcement officials who are allowing the sinister attack on our nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten. Sleepy Joe Biden purposely allowed millions of criminals to enter our country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an open borders policy that will go down in history as the single most
calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was by far our worst and most incompetent president, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing.
But to him and to the person that ran and manipulated the auto pen, perhaps our real president, and to all the people who cheated in the 2020 presidential election in order to get this highly destructive moron elected, I wish you with great love, sincerity, and affection a very happy Easter. Oh, nobody's ever done it better.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Pope's death?
Well, you know, if you saw anything in the news today, that the Pope did die last night, I guess, at the age of 88. And he did it immediately after celebrating Easter Sunday. Now, of course, I am tempted to make all kinds of inappropriate jokes, but I think maybe today I won't. Maybe I'll just pay proper attention proper respect to the Pope and to all those people who follow the Pope.
And I guess we'll get a new Pope sometime soon. But Pope Francis has passed away at 88. I think it was within a day of J.D. Vance visiting and seeing him, which must be It must be really weird for Vance to know that he saw them right before he died. So anyway, and the fact that it happened on Easter is real weird, but it did. Anyway, let's let the news handle that.
That's going to be all over the news forever. And you'll get plenty of Pope Francis news. So I won't dwell on that. Let's look at science. Has science got anything to tell us? Well, according to SciPost, main Kara Yakubian is writing that life satisfaction and personality share strong genetic roots.
Chapter 4: How do genetics influence personality and life satisfaction?
Did you know that people who were raised in exactly the same family situation can turn out completely different? Well, you could have asked me. Yes, people raised the same can come out differently because genes are the driving force. But according to new research, they're showing that both personality traits and life satisfaction are more heritable than previously thought.
How many of you didn't know that mostly what a person is is what they're born with? You've all noticed that people from the same family turned out completely differently, right? Like, if you hadn't noticed that, you would be very confused about how anything works. Yeah. Whatever you're born with, which presumably comes from your parents...
is kind of telling you how you're going to turn out, and it happens kind of quickly. So they could have asked me about that one. All right, here's one. Total surprise. You would never guess, according to the University of Sydney, a high-fat, high-sugar diet impacts your cognitive function. Now, is it my imagination...
Or is there a new study every single day that says obesity and high sugar diets and weighing too much is bad for your brain? At some point, they just have to stop doing the science, don't they? And just check with me. It's like, Scott, we've done a thousand studies in a row that all show exactly the same thing, that high sugar diet and obesity is bad for your brain.
We're thinking of doing another study. Don't. Don't, I would say. I would jump right in and say, I'm going to save you some money and some time. No, you're going to get the same result as every other time. I don't believe anybody's ever had a different outcome. Pretty much, yeah, same thing. So just ask me next time.
Well, Trump is threatening Harvard and his ongoing battle with Harvard, wanting them to change their ways and be less DEI and less anti-Semitic, according to him. But Harvard is hanging tough. And it looks like they're going to lose another billion dollars in federal funding, or at least they'd be delayed until something changes. And that billion dollars would be funding for health research.
So that's pretty serious. Now, what percentage of every dollar from federal funding do you think actually goes to the researchers? It's not much. I don't know. I forget the actual number. But it's in the range of 10%, I think. Can you give me a fact check on that? I think 90% goes to overhead to the college because the college is the entity that has the control and can get the grants.
But the actual researchers, the scientists, I think they get like 10% of every federal dollar. So it makes me wonder if anything's actually going to change. Do you think that Harvard won't be able to afford to do the research? Or is it just going to make them not afford paying the lighting bill? I don't know. We'll see where that goes.
Meanwhile, the Rasmussen polling people say that 66% of American voters agree on deporting illegals that have broken the law, you know, besides just the immigration law. So two-thirds of the public agrees with Trump getting tough with the criminals that are in the country and deporting them. Can't do much better than that, two-thirds. Pretty rare to get two-thirds of anything.

Chapter 5: What is the current state of the US cattle inventory?
If you said to a senior citizen, hey, we're going to have to cut your Social Security by a quarter. Now you're probably going to say, but just do the rich people. If he did all the rich people and just took away their Socialist security, wouldn't make a dent. Because I asked Rock that. Barely makes a dent.
You would have to take away just a tremendous amount of Socialist security from people who really needed it. That's the only way you could get there. Now, if I told you, hey, a senior citizen, The only way we can survive is if you cut a quarter of your expenses. Could they live? Could they find a way to survive? I don't know. But here's what they don't know.
The alternative is you don't get anything. So we still think that the alternative is either cut it or don't cut it. That's not the alternative. The alternative is you either cut it or there won't be anything for anybody. The entire system will collapse. So you can either figure out how to get by with 25% less or you can figure out how to get by with nothing.
And I don't think anybody has really made that case because you would have to make that case. The entire thing is going to fall apart. Now, if you were collecting Social Security, you would immediately say, oh, wait a minute. Why don't you just take more out of the military budget? Well, that'd be great, except the people who control the military budget control the country.
And so they're not going to cut their own income. So we don't really have any way to cut military budgets unless we made some kind of deal with Russia and China and we all cut our budgets or something. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen. So here's my thing. We need something that we've never talked about. I don't know what it would be.
But it's going to be something like you can only get Social Security under certain conditions. It's going to be something like Medicaid. You're going to have to use AI before you use the actual Medicaid system. Something like that. So we're going to have to retool and re-engineer pretty much the entire way we live to have any chance whatsoever of survival.
And nobody in the news is talking honestly about this. They're just acting like it's business as usual. It's like, well, it's a budget. It's not optimal. That's not where we're at. We're at complete destruction and kind of guaranteed. So if you want your money to be worth nothing, then you should insist on no cuts. If you want to keep 75% of your money, you want a 25% cut. So, unfortunately.
It would be interesting to see if the United States just cut that much out of its military and said, here's the deal. If you mess with us, we still have nukes because we didn't cut the nukes. So don't mess with us because it'd be better if we don't have the ability to fight every kind of war and every kind of theater, which is sort of what we're preparing for.
Wouldn't it be better if we could just fight the wars that we would have to fight? Maybe. So we'll see. Interior Secretary Burgum, according to Newsmax... says that Trump is fighting a war on mining, meaning that the Biden administration made it very tough to do mining. And of course, some states would be having their own limitations. But apparently Trump has announced...

Chapter 6: What are the challenges facing the Republican budget?
There's a New Mexico judge who just resigned because ICE arrested a Venezuelan gang member who lived in his house. So he was a Democrat-appointed judge who had a roommate who was literally trend to a raguar. And the guy had ammo, gang tattoos, video of him firing an AR-15 with a suppressor, graphic images of mutilated bodies on his phone, and the judge, who was a former cop.
So the judge was a former cop, and he didn't notice anything about his roommate. He didn't notice that his roommate was obviously a gang member. Anyway, that's the world we're living in. Here's a question I saw answered by the Wall Street Journal that I've been wondering about for a while. Apparently Nike has been trying to move its production out of China for a long time.
So not just recently, but for about 10 years, they've been trying to move their production out of China to move it to Vietnam or Mexico or wherever they can move it. And they've spent a ton of money trying to automate making of sneakers. But they found out it never works. So they could automate a little bit, but mostly you just need an army of people. And I never understood why.
Like, why is it that you can't automate sneakers? Doesn't it seem like that would be somewhat easy compared to automating, I don't know, a motherboard of a phone? But here's the reason that makes sense. The materials that you use to make sneakers will change their qualities based on temperature and probably atmospheric moisture too.
So every time you're putting a sneaker together, it's a little bit different than it was the day before. You can't really automate that. You can automate things that are exactly the same every time, But a sneaker is just a little bit different every time.
And then on top of that, Nike's business model, which they don't want to change, is that they're introducing all kinds of new models all the time. You would never be able to keep up, even if you could come up with some way to automate the making of sneakers, you wouldn't be able to update your factory to do it automated with all the new models.
But a human being can look at the new sneaker and say, oh, same as the old sneaker, but looks like the bottom is different. So I'll just glue this together. So there are some things that we might want to be on short that just never will be because there isn't any way to automate it. Now, I do wonder if AI could solve that.
because the automation we're talking about so far is the dumb kind, where it just can do the same thing every time. But if you added AI, would it be able to detect the slight changes in the temperature and the squishiness of the materials? Would it be able to instantly adjust to make the new model? Because it would say, hmm, it's just like the old one, except different footprint, so to speak.
I don't know. I don't think so. At least not anytime soon. So here's a good example of how our trade war is going with China. So Huawei... Wait, hold on. So the US was blocking Nvidia from selling its high-end h20 chip to China to Huawei in particular and So you think to yourself a good job America?

Chapter 7: What is the situation regarding mining projects under Trump?
Do you believe that the AI had access to its own source code and then rewrote it on the fly? I don't believe that. I don't believe that even a little bit. Why in the world would they give it access to its own source code? Why would that even be possible? Who would be dumb enough to allow it to rewrite itself on demand? I don't see it. Now, I could understand if it recommended a change.
I can see if it said, here's some code that if you add to me, I'll be able to solve this problem. Now, that I can see. But I don't see it just autonomously rewriting its own code and then recompiling and then going forward. Does anybody think it can really do that? These just sound like BS claims to me.
Now, obviously I'm no expert on AI, and so I could be deeply misunderstanding things, but I'm pretty good at BS. So no expertise at AI, but pretty good at telling what BS looks like. This just looks like BS to me. I think that they may be sort of true in some technical way, but if you looked into it for five minutes, you would find out it's not exactly what they said. So I'm not buying it at all.
Here's something that's good. So the European Union, according to Reuters, might tweak their methane rules so that they can buy more U.S. gas. So apparently the U.S. has some kind of methane that's different than what they use locally. And they can't buy our gas because they say we have the wrong kind of methane. But The methane that U.S.
gas has doesn't seem to be worse or more dangerous than whatever they're doing. So the EU, because they want to be able to buy U.S. gas and close the trade gap so that they could get a better trade deal with Trump, they might change their own rules so they can buy U.S. gas without that limitation. And that seems pretty good. So that would be a big win if we could sell things.
You know, I do wonder, does the U.S. produce enough energy or could it that energy alone would be the difference between, you know, meeting our budget needs and not? You know, could we boost our GDP by, I don't know, 10% a year instead of 3% a year or whatever is normal just with energy? Because it looks like there's going to be infinite need for energy all over the world.
And Trump's doing a good job of saying you better buy our energy because it's part of the larger trade deal. I just wonder what the upside of that is. Is this the only way we can save ourselves by becoming essentially the Saudi Arabia of the world? I guess we already have more oil than Saudi Arabia. in terms of what we're producing. Maybe.
I'd love to see some numbers of what the potential upside could be of just being the world's energy producer times 10, which we could. I mean, it's possible. according to the Amuse account on X, we're paying China to conduct live war games in Egypt. Not directly, but indirectly. So apparently we spend $2 billion a year to support Egypt's military.
Now you might say to yourself, well, that's not so bad because we like Egypt to be on our side and It's one way to get some influence over there. Two billion doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world, given all our other expenses. But here's the part you don't know, that Egypt is currently doing war games with China.

Chapter 8: What recent events involve a judge and a gang member?
How in the world is this even possible that we're paying Egypt $2 billion a year for the military and then they're doing military drills with China? It doesn't even seem possible, does it? I hope there's something to this story that I don't know. Well, the Wall Street Journal is warning that the trade negotiations with China are not going well and that it could lead to a larger Cold War.
meaning that China would take its, let's say, reactions to our trade demands outside of the trade domain, and maybe they'd do some more cyber attacks. Maybe they would get a little more militarily adventurous around Taiwan. So a Cold War would sort of bring into the larger equation some extra risks that you don't normally see unless you're in a Cold War.
But I wonder how different that would be than what we've experienced for the last 20 years. Don't you think China is already doing what it can to degrade the United States in every way they can get away with? So I don't know if it would be different, but maybe we talk about it differently. But yes, we're heading toward a larger Cold War.
I don't see us getting into a hot war or a nuclear confrontation. But a Cold War? Yeah, probably, probably. So China is warning other countries that don't make any trade deals with the U.S. that are bad for China. So Newsmax Money is reporting this. And I don't know what that would look like, but that's a pretty big threat. Don't make a deal with the United States that would be bad for China.
How do they define that? Let's say if Vietnam wanted to do more manufacturing with the US, would that be bad for China? And therefore, would they try to punish Vietnam? I don't know. It's a pretty big threat. We'll see where that goes. According to the Gateway Pundit, and there are some sources that spoke to Reuters and say that
Israel is looking at and is likely to do their own military attack without the United States on Iranian nuclear facilities. So it wouldn't be as massive as an attack as it would be if the U.S. was all in. But since the U.S. is not all in, it looks like Israel might do it anyway. Now, it does make me wonder how Iran would treat that Would Iran treat that as the United States was involved?
Because Israel would be using our weapons and probably we'd be giving them some intelligence from satellites and Probably we'd have some secret interaction with them that maybe wasn't public, but Iran would know about it. I don't know. It does seem to me that that's the most likely outcome because I don't think Trump can survive starting a war.
he would lose one of his biggest claims to being a good president if he starts a war. Now, I think the Houthi situation is already questionable because that looks like a war to me. But if he goes after Iran directly and U.S. bombers go over Iranian territory and drop bombs and kill Iranian citizens and take out their nuclear program. First of all, I don't know that it would work.
And secondly, we have no idea what Iran would unleash on the United States because it wouldn't take much for a well-trained group of terrorists to just take down the whole country. I'm not going to give them any suggestions, but you can use your imagination. If Iranians... If they did, then I guess we would be even more militarily inclined to attack.
