Chapter 1: What insights does Scott Adams share about ADHD and orgasms?

157.662 - 180.799 Scott Adams

Apparently, psychedelic experiences are linked to long-term improvements in psychological flexibility. You know who else they could have asked that question of? 100% of people who have ever had a psychedelic experience. That's the main thing it does. The main thing it does is make you see the world as sort of subjective.

0

181.776 - 208.261 Scott Adams

And then you get flexible, because if the world is subjective, you don't have to be locked into any one way of thinking or one way of perceiving. So yes, next time you want to study something about psychedelics, just ask me. I got the answers. Well, because I have to know this, I'm going to make all of you know it too.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the new lawsuit against Sean Diddy Combs?

209.162 - 239.584 Scott Adams

If you were trying to avoid the Diddy trial because you'd hear something that would destroy your brain forever, you might not want to listen to this next thing. Okay, it's not funny. It's not funny. Stop it. It's not funny because it was a serious crime alleged here, but now there's a new lawsuit, according to Breitbart News.

0

239.824 - 280.614 Scott Adams

There's a new lawsuit of a woman who says that Sean Diddy Combs tried to rape her, but that she was not that afraid once he whipped out his manhood because he described it as tootsie roll-sized. Now, are you ever going to be able to imagine him in any context again without imagining the Tootsie Roll? No. That's the most devastating thing you could do to him is do the Tootsie Roll thing.

0

281.595 - 319.489 Scott Adams

Oh, my goodness. But in related news, the New York Post is reporting that Justin Bieber's rep, his rep, not him, his rep, said that he was not a victim of Sean Combs. So if you're worried about Bieber being a victim of Sean Combs, his rep, his rep says it didn't happen. Now, if you can't trust a celebrity rep, who can you trust? Yeah, so we're not going to believe the rep.

0

322.491 - 360.074 Scott Adams

I hope it's true that he was not victimized, but you're going to need to do better than the rep. According to Brendan Carr at the FCC, Verizon has now agreed to end its DEI policies. And that's good news. Now, you might know that I was a victim of DEI back in my phone company working days. I never worked for Verizon or any of the companies they absorbed. But I did experience the DEI effect.

0

361.135 - 384.446 Scott Adams

So this one makes me a little extra happy because it feels personal. So Verizon, we'll see if you actually really get rid of your DEI policies or... Are you just going to change the names? They might just change the names. We'll check in with them later. All right, here's the big story everybody wants to talk about today.

385.326 - 414.496 Scott Adams

So apparently James Comey, ex-head of the FBI, has arranged some seashells on the beach and then took a picture of them. And the shells were arranged in four digits, 8, 6, 4, 7. Now, 47, we assume, refers to Trump. He's the 47th president. 86 is a food services reference to getting rid of something.

415.257 - 445.636 Scott Adams

So Secretary Kristi Noem, she posted an ex-disgraced former FBI director, James Comey, just called for the assassination of Trump. And she says that the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service are going to investigate this threat and will respond appropriately. Likewise, FBI Director Kash Patel, he's all over it.

445.696 - 463.976 Scott Adams

He says, we are aware of the recent social media post by Comey and directly at Trump, he says, and we're in communication with the Secret Service and Director of Current Primary Jurisdiction is with the Secret Service. but the FBI will provide necessary support.

466.036 - 495.006 Scott Adams

Now, if you were not aware that 86 has a meaning beyond being a number, you might not have worked in a food services kind of job as I have. I spent years working in kitchens and I was a dishwasher and I was a line cook and I was a salad cutting guy. So I was always in, and then I owned a couple of restaurants. So 86 was a common phrase.

Chapter 3: How does Scott Adams analyze James Comey's recent actions?

1100.423 - 1126.62 Scott Adams

It's not off the table. But he said clearly that the alternative for Iran would be being crushed economically. And the alternative for Russia was to be further sanctioned. So I feel like it's one of the greatest accomplishments of any leader in the history of humanity, really, if he pulls this off.

0

1128.365 - 1161.586 Scott Adams

It's not completely pulled off, but he seems to have reframed it in a way that we can all understand. Well, according to the Kobiesa letter on X, Trump's investment, he raised... $2.5 trillion in capital for the US. Now, we don't know for what time period, but the UAE was in for $1.4 trillion that they want to invest in the US. Saudi Arabia, $600 billion. Qatar, $500 billion.

0

1163.247 - 1197.683 Scott Adams

These are very big numbers, but they're not as big as what Trump says it is. So those are the numbers based on news reports and what those countries have said out loud. But Trump says that his trip is worth $12 to $13 trillion and includes deals already announced and some that will be outlined shortly. And he's going to be sending out letters to nations for trade deals soon. So I don't know.

0

1198.083 - 1231.16 Scott Adams

So somewhere between $2.5 and $13 trillion is what he came back with. But I don't know how much of this to believe because when you look at what the Arab nations said they would contribute or actually invest, not contribute, I don't know, is that over 10 years or 20 years? So I don't even know how to say if that's important or not. I don't feel it. Like nothing in my life changed.

0

1232.841 - 1254.161 Scott Adams

So I'm going to say I'm not 100% sure anything in your life will change either, but it's way better than not getting those deals. So a lot of what Trump does is salesmanship and selling the country and creating an image and just making people think differently. That's what he does best.

1255.049 - 1270.033 Scott Adams

So if what he's done is created this situation where all the smart people are putting massive amounts of money into the United States because it's the best place to invest, and it probably is, it's probably the best place to invest, that would be amazing.

1271.314 - 1287.612 Scott Adams

So I can quibble about what the real number is and how big it is, but what he's done is make everybody think in that way, meaning that if he visits your country, you better open your wallet. And I think people will.

1290.094 - 1313.143 Scott Adams

So not only did Republicans think he did a great job in the Middle East, but Fox News and others are reporting that former Biden officials, people who would be deeply critical of Trump, are also saying, wow, he seems to have accomplished a lot in one trip. And so podcasters are saying it.

1313.283 - 1343.049 Scott Adams

Axios spoke to several Biden administration officials, and some of them are saying that Trump's audacious foreign policy moves were pretty amazing. One official anonymously said, gosh, I wish I could work for an administration that can move that quickly. So even if he didn't love everything that Trump has done everywhere, You look at this and you say to yourself, Biden could not do this.

Chapter 4: What are Trump's key accomplishments in the Middle East?

2371.8 - 2401.975 Scott Adams

Now, both of these questions you'd think would be good questions for the Supreme Court. But for reasons I don't fully understand, the only way to get it in there was to jam them together and talk about how birthright citizenship had been blocked with a universal injunctive relief. So it would cause the Supreme Court to have to deal with both issues in ways I don't quite understand.

0

2402.635 - 2427.697 Scott Adams

So I listened to a bunch of the arguments. I didn't understand a damn thing I heard. Did anybody have the same experience? Some of you might be lawyers, so you understood it. But I didn't understand any of it. And I don't understand how they can just staple these two items together and take them both to the Supreme Court and expect that you're going to get some kind of answer to them individually.

0

2429.079 - 2461.56 Scott Adams

Don't get it at all. Absolutely baffled by the whole thing. But the smart people, the people who know way more than I do, and... Politico has some writing by Josh Gerstein and Hassan Ali Kanu. They're saying that the birthright part is getting a frosty reception, meaning that don't expect the Supreme Court to come up with any ruling that says that birthright citizenship will go away or be limited.

0

2462.201 - 2468.702 Scott Adams

So it looks like maybe both the lefty and the righty parts of the Supreme Court

0

2469.102 - 2497.582 Scott Adams

are just saying hey we got precedent we got clear writing in the constitution we're not going to change it but the situation of the judges that are making these broad rulings that affect the whole country there does seem to be some wiggle room on that one so we don't know you know it's too early to know how anybody's going to vote but there's a possibility

2498.274 - 2528.369 Scott Adams

that when they're all done, nothing about birthright citizenship, which is you get to be a citizen if you're born in this country, probably nothing about that will change. But the idea that a judge can, a federal judge in one part of the country can do something that affects the whole rest of the country, there might be some changes coming in that domain. But that's speculative at this point.

2530.57 - 2557.672 Scott Adams

Well, as you know, Trump's big, beautiful bill is getting ready for the prime time. They're still marking it up and playing with it. But basically, they've got the bill kind of close. And I think Trump's kind of happy with it. But Rand Paul says, quote, it will be a record for Congress to raise the debt $5 trillion.

2558.693 - 2589.453 Scott Adams

But also it indicates that this year the deficit will be over $2 trillion, but it means they're anticipating close to $3 trillion for the next year. So Rand Paul is questioning the raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. And And especially in the context of Doge was supposed to save us all this money, but we don't see anything like that. We don't see anything that looks like a Doge saving.

2590.414 - 2622.657 Scott Adams

Where is it? What happened to it? Did we go through all that for nothing? And Paul says, he summarizes it by saying, it's really a slap in the face that those of us who are excited about Elon Musk and Doge and all the cuts, well, that's me. That's me. I was excited about Elon Musk and Doge and all the cuts. And I consider this bill a slap in my fucking face. I feel insulted. Literally insulted.
