Chapter 1: What is Coffee with Scott Adams?
Cause they're up. Yay. Yay. Let me get your comments working here. And then we got a show to 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 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, a mug, or a glass, a tank, or shells, 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, the dopamine dinner of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen right now. Go. So good. I might have to do that again later. It was that good. Well, let's check in with science, see what science can tell us.
According to the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the average rate of obesity among Americans has risen by approximately 30% over 20 years. Now, how many of you have not noticed? Have you noticed that the rate of obesity is sort of through the roof? There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is that it's never been easier to be in the top 10% of attractive people.
It used to be when I was a kid, if you were born attractive, well, you had all the advantages. Given that, in theory, everybody can lose weight and everybody can fix their teeth if they have enough money and everybody can get a good haircut and maybe do something about your skin and wear better clothes, it has never been easier to be in the top 10%.
And if you're in the top 10% of attractive people, things will probably go pretty well for you. So it's good news and bad news. Well, apparently the Wall Street Journal had a big old fake news story. They were saying that Tesla was looking for a new CEO to replace Musk, but they failed to run Tesla's denial. So I guess they asked Tesla, and Tesla said, absolutely not. That is not happening.
Nobody's looking for a new CEO. We already have a CEO. It's Musk. And they didn't run the denial. It's one thing to be wrong, but being wrong when the only really reliable source of information tells you that you're absolutely 100% wrong. That's pretty bad. And Elon Musk wasn't too happy about that. I guess you wouldn't be too happy either if the news ran such a fake report about you.
Here's some news about Tim Walz, who I call the pointy-haired boss. You know, if I ever do a Dilbert movie and I'm looking for live actors to play the Dilbert characters, the pointy-haired boss would have to be Tim Walz. Just imagine him, and then imagine the pointy-haired boss. It's the same guy, isn't it? There's no difference. He's just the pointy-haired boss.
So his latest Tim Walsh-ism is he was explaining to an audience why he was selected as the VP candidate. And he said, quote, I could code talk to the white guys watching football fixing their truck. I was the permission structure to say, look, you can do this and vote for this. That is the least male thing anybody ever said. I could code talk to white guys.

Chapter 2: Why has the obesity rate increased in America?
Because they've got James Carville saying that Trump's going to cut health care for ordinary people. Do you think Trump's going to cut health care for ordinary people? Now there is, I looked into it, there is some kind of a request that $880 billion is removed from the Medicaid budget. But it doesn't look possible. And first of all, that number would be over 10 years.
So it would be something like 10%, somewhere in that neighborhood, 10% of the budget. Do you think there's a way to cut the Medicaid budget by 10%? No, there isn't. It turns out that healthcare has a much smaller margin than maybe you knew or I knew. A lot of the big money for healthcare comes from hospital stuff, things that happen in hospitals. And apparently hospitals have a really thin margin.
It's like 2% to 4% according to Grok. Now, if your margins are only 2% to 4% on the part of health care that's the most expensive part, do you think you could cut 10% of it on any given year? There's nothing to cut. It's basically already operating at just barely breakeven. So no.
And of course, Trump has said he's not going to touch Social Security and he's not going to touch health care for ordinary people. And then there's Swalwell. He's one of the designated liars. So if you see Jamie Raskin or Swalwell and Carville, Carville's sort of joining too. They're all part of the Nazi strategy of telling the big lie. And then just repeating it endlessly until people believe it.
So Swalwell saying, all we wanted was cheap eggs, but not deporting kids with cancer. Now, is the kids with cancer being deported a true story? Well, it's technically true, but we're not really deporting them. The mother wanted to take them with her because she was deported. So no, it's not exactly true the way they're telling it. But here's the interesting part.
Steve Bannon believes that Trump will raise taxes on the highest earners. That would be the billionaires. What do you think? I feel like he might be right about that. I feel like Trump, in order to get all the other stuff he wants and to just shut people up, He might need to raise taxes on the highest earners.
Now, I don't know what that would be if people make over $5 million a year or over $1 million a year. But wouldn't that just totally shut up the Democrats if the Republican bill just unambiguously raises taxes for the richest people? Or do you think that they would just act like it didn't happen and just keep saying that he doesn't mean it and he's going to really lower taxes on the rich people?
It's the main thing they say. When Kamala Harris says it's self-serving, she kind of means that he's lowering his own taxes and those of his friends. What if he does the opposite? And I feel as if Bannon is well enough connected and he has a good enough track record of predicting that if he says that Trump's going to raise taxes on the highest earners, that's a real possibility.
Now, maybe the Republican Congress can't do it. It's possible they just can't do it. But I do think maybe there's a good, at least a 50% chance that that's what it's going to look like because it would completely destroy the entire Democrat approach. Everything they're doing is depending on telling people that Trump's really doing it for his own financial benefit and those of his friends.

Chapter 3: What did the Wall Street Journal report about Tesla?
And it looks like Europe doesn't have anything like the military that we assumed they had. And I wouldn't be surprised if China also doesn't have anything like the military we thought they had. Although if they were going both of them all, instead of just trying to stay within lines, probably it would be different. You know, if they used their best weapons and stuff, probably it'd be different.
But, I don't know, it's so easy to over, to over, well, to assume that some other military is stronger than it is. In other news, according to ZME Science, China made the world's fastest transistor and didn't use any silicon. It runs 40% faster and uses less power. And, uh, blah, blah, blah.
But I'm going to say the same thing that I should have said about battery breakthroughs, because every single day I see a new report about somebody made a battery breakthrough that charges faster and lasts longer and doesn't require any rare earth minerals. If you would look at the history of breakthroughs,
It could take five to 10 years for anything to hit the market, and it could also take decades. That wouldn't even be unusual. So this new kind of chip and the new kind of batteries, they probably will change the world, but maybe not for 15, 20 years. So it's more like a forecast of what the future looks like. In other news, my last story here, I think it's my last one.
The University of Bristol has found that some conditions like depression and schizophrenia might have something to do with underlying conditions in the body. In other words, that it might not be an entirely brain-related, it might be something about your overall physical fitness that's causing your depression, schizophrenia, and other mental health problems.
And I will just remind you that I've been saying for years that one of our big mistakes in healthcare, at least mental healthcare, is to assume that your brain is the thing that's in your skull.
That might be the most important part, but you should think of your brain as your entire body because anything that happens to your body is going to affect your brain so much, whether it's gut health or probiotics. This new thing is about immune response. So they think if they give you a better immune response, you'd have better mental health.
Now I don't know about this particular study, but just in general, the fact that we treat the brain like it's a special thing in your skull and not really just one component of your mental health has always been a mistake in my view. Could be the food, could be. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's what I had for you. I'm going to say hi to the locals people very quickly.
And the rest of you, I'll see you same time tomorrow. Thanks for joining. All right, locals, I'm coming at you in 30 seconds or possibly not. So the answer is not because the button to go private is not working today. So I'll have to close the studio to close that, which means I can't go private. But I'll see you tomorrow on the pre-show. And we'll have some fun then.
