Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human existence?

0.489 - 47.816 Scott Adams

And let's check in on the stocks. Yeah, down a little bit. Could be better. But we'll get our comments working here, and then I'll give you the show you deserve. Because you deserve it. You do. You totally deserve it. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human existence. This is Color Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

48.837 - 72.321 Scott Adams

If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a sty and a 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 of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

Chapter 2: What is the simultaneous sip?

72.381 - 119.245 Scott Adams

It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Tremendous. Gets better every time. Well, I got to tell you, I had the best day yesterday. The strangest thing about yesterday is, if there's anybody here who didn't hear, I was talking about my own cancer situation. And that created a tsunami of love that I've never experienced before.

0

121.195 - 162.194 Scott Adams

And the most incredible time was Dr. Hypnosis and Owen Gregorian did a Spaces in which people were invited to talk about me. Sorry. And what impact that had on their lives. Now, unbeknownst to most of you who were on that Spaces, I was listening. So I didn't catch all of it. It was over four hours. But for about, I don't know, two and a half hours, I got to listen like I was at my own funeral.

0

Chapter 3: What impact has Scott Adams had on people's lives?

163.015 - 196.23 Scott Adams

And people were saying one good thing about me after another. But the part I didn't know was how much I changed people's lives. And so people just had one story after another of how they'd gone from a bad situation to a good situation because of something I said or something I saw in my books or some other thing. And I got to tell you, if you could have one day in your life

0

197.405 - 242.176 Scott Adams

to experience that it was indescribable it was it was beyond amazing and i had no idea so i think somebody said that i didn't know how much impact i had on the world i thought i had a lot But apparently I had underestimated. And so I'm humbled. And it just made everything seem worthwhile. Everything was worthwhile. So I'll hang on as long as I can to make sure you get some extra benefit.

Chapter 4: What are the latest developments in flying cars?

243.357 - 274.3 Scott Adams

And we don't need to talk about it every day. Things will go the way things go. But we'll just do the show today, if you don't mind. Looks like we'll have some extra people here. Well, that's good. Well, apparently, according to ZME Science, there's the first mass-produced flying car is ready to go. So for $1 million, you'll be able to get a flying car.

0

275.987 - 310.315 Scott Adams

But how many people would want a flying car? Because you'd have to have a pilot's license. So the car part, of course, would not be ideal because the wings are extra and they fold on the car. So it probably gives terrible mileage. It doesn't look like it would be the best car. But it is a flying car. It's already built. And they're ready to go into mass production.

0

Chapter 5: Why did Home Depot report higher than expected sales?

310.775 - 342.568 Scott Adams

So in 2026, you can get your own flying car. You know, that's always been the joke. Where's my flying car? Well, here it is. Apparently there's going to be a flying car. We'll see if they actually do mass produce. They believe there's a gigantic market for flying cars. I don't think so. I think they're going to find out that the market for flying cars is not nearly as big as they think it is.

0

344.926 - 373.732 Scott Adams

Well, the Wall Street Journal says that Home Depot posted higher than expected sales because they say that customers continue to spend on smaller projects. How do they know that they're spending on smaller projects? I guess each sale is smaller. And so far, there's no tariff impact. But Home Depot says that they're not going to raise prices because of tariffs.

0

Chapter 6: What is Mayor Brandon Johnson's approach to diversity?

374.453 - 401.209 Scott Adams

Now, that would be opposite of what Walmart said. Walmart's going to raise prices. But Home Depot says they will not. More than half of what the company sells at Home Depot comes from the U.S. And they just think that it looks like they're going to just eat the tariffs. So they're not going to pass it along. So that's kind of exciting.

0

403.652 - 435.667 Scott Adams

So according to Just the News, yesterday I talked about the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson. He was at a church, and he was filmed talking about his diversity goals. And this is what he said. He said, There are some detractors that will try and push back on me and say, the only thing the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people, Johnson said.

0

Chapter 7: What actions are being taken against Letitia James?

436.308 - 468.921 Scott Adams

No, what I'm saying is when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet. So apparently the Justice Department is going to launch an investigation because what he just said is really illegal. So he was trying to make it a positive thing. It's like, hey, look at me. I'm hiring only black people because black people are more generous.

0

470.981 - 498.253 Scott Adams

And that's why I recommend that you spend more time in all black neighborhoods because of the generosity, according to Mayor Brandon Johnson. You know, if you go to an all black neighborhood, the first thing people are going to do is say, hey, Are you okay? Do you need anything? Is there anything I can get you? Because they're the most generous people in the whole world.

0

501.764 - 539.084 Scott Adams

Well, the America First Legal... Now, do you know who that is, America First Legal? I think Stephen Miller was behind this. But I felt like the Republicans were sort of unarmed with all the lawfare. But now the America First Legal, which is a bunch of lawyers who go after things that Republicans want to go after... is just doing an amazing job. And right now they're going after Letitia James.

0

539.785 - 572.484 Scott Adams

And they filed a formal bar complaint with New York State Grievance Committee. Now, how many of you knew that there's a New York State Grievance Committee? Did you know that? There's a New York State Grievance Committee. Who needs a grievance committee? Well, I guess New York. Anyway, so the idea is they're trying to get her disbarred because of allegations of mortgage fraud.

0

Chapter 8: What are the implications of James Comey's recent statements?

573.545 - 600.521 Scott Adams

Now, the mortgage fraud has not been demonstrated in court. So she doesn't have any kind of a legal finding of that. But that's pending. And so I wonder if that's enough. But apparently there is some history. that if you're a lawyer and you do some mortgage fraud, you do get disbarred. So New York has historically disbarred attorneys who engage in mortgage fraud.

0

601.161 - 632.064 Scott Adams

So the odds of this turning into a disbarment are fairly good. The only thing I don't know is if they're going to wait for the courts to actually rule on it. It seems like they should wait for the court, but maybe they don't need to. Maybe if you're the bar, you can just say, well, we see the same thing that they would present in court, and it looks bad to us. I don't know. We'll see.

0

634.4 - 667.701 Scott Adams

Well, James Comey has given us a little more details about his version of 8647. Now, before I tell you what James Comey said, let me say what all of you are thinking. We can't trust what James Comey says about that 8647 thing. That's where he found the seashells. But here are the things that we think we know. Number one, he did not arrange those shells himself.

0

668.922 - 699.312 Scott Adams

Rather, he was walking on the beach with his wife, thinking about his new book. which was funny. He was on one of the shows on TV, and he's selling a new book. I've been in that situation where you have to make sure you mention the book before you run out of time. So he goes with, I was walking on the beach with my wife, thinking about my new book, and

0

701.312 - 729.789 Scott Adams

And then he says he or his wife noticed what they thought was an address. And the wife was saying, why would you have an address arranged in shells? Because they didn't know what the 8647 meant. Now remember, I'm only telling you what he said. I'm not telling you what I believe. Because, you know, not exactly the most credible source.

731.969 - 767.907 Scott Adams

But he says that his wife worked in restaurants, and based on her restaurant experience, 86 meant just get rid of. And then he said he had heard it only in the concept of telling people to get out of the place, you know, like leave a place. You know, 86, this guy, get him out of here, out of this room. And so that's his version. So he wasn't thinking of any hit man or mafia kind of use.

768.568 - 794.73 Scott Adams

He was just walking on the beach with his wife who worked in a restaurant. Now, I went to Grok, and I asked if there's any evidence she worked in a restaurant, and he said, not really. But, of course, that wouldn't necessarily be on your resume or anything. So we don't know what's true, but we know that's his story, and he's going to stick to it.

796.627 - 831.934 Scott Adams

Well, as I've said to you before, Trump is the best naughty talker of all presidents ever. The things he gets away with, and I think at this point he's just having fun with it because he doesn't have to get elected again. So Trump says stuff that no president should ever say. So here's his latest one. He was talking to some smallish group indoors. I don't know who it was.

832.734 - 861.101 Scott Adams

And he was talking about how in his first term, he arranged that the United States would get the World Cup and also the Olympics. And then he realized that he wouldn't be president when that stuff happened. And he thought, oh, man, I'm not going to get the credit for getting the World Cup and the Olympics. And then he said, and this is a direct quote, and then they rigged the election.

Chapter 9: How is Biden's use of teleprompters being perceived?

904.431 - 937.81 Scott Adams

It's real soon. But they're talking about how Biden was relying on teleprompters and notecards. even in cabinet meetings. So we've seen Trump's cabinet meetings where everything's open and he's just responding to anything, anytime. But apparently the staff for Biden were so concerned about his answers that he had all the questions scripted.

0

938.86 - 967.608 Scott Adams

And then the answers were on little note cards or teleprompters, depending on what domain he was in. Can you imagine having a president who is so mentally incompetent that you have to give him the question and the answer? It's not just the question. It's the question and the answer on a little note card so he can read it.

0

969.85 - 996.356 Scott Adams

And then we also heard that they would use more than one camera when he was asked to do any kind of little video recording for anybody. So when a group asked Biden to record a five-minute address or a keynote, they would tell him, well, can we give you two minutes? Because five minutes is sort of a long time. And then they would use two cameras

0

997.071 - 1021.487 Scott Adams

so that when he glitched, which he did all the time, they would just cut to the other camera, and then they could easily edit out the glitch, just have him do it again. So that's called a jump cut. Now, here's the funny part about this story. The funniest part about this story is that if they had removed Biden...

0

1022.389 - 1050.181 Scott Adams

and replace them with Kamala Harris, wouldn't they still need to get the questions in advance? And wouldn't they still need to give her a note card or, you know, she might have been able to memorize it. Wouldn't they still be able to give her the answers? And wouldn't they use a jump cut just to get rid of her word salad? If you think about, you know, how ES3 will treat this,

1052.29 - 1082.495 Scott Adams

It would be one thing if you had a very solid vice president, but then something happened with your president and you did the best you could to keep it away from the public. But what are the odds that in the Democratic Party, the entire Democratic Party, is it like 70 million people, that the best two candidates they could come up with couldn't even talk?

1085.736 - 1117.417 Scott Adams

You would be afraid to put them in front of any kind of group? Because Kamala would just be cackling and gaffing and looking drunk, whether she was or not. She always looked drunk. And Biden would just be blah, blah, blah. Can you imagine that the top two people in the whole country, they didn't trust either one of them to talk to a group of 10 people. And somehow we got used to that.

1120.291 - 1140.379 Scott Adams

Just think about the fact that we got used to it. Because it's not like we didn't know that Biden couldn't talk to a group. That was obvious. And it wasn't like we didn't know that Kamala Harris would be a cackling word salad mess. But we just sort of got used to it, like that was semi-normal.

1142.101 - 1155.751 Scott Adams

You couldn't find two people who were unable to talk to a group of, you know, any group, unless you worked at it pretty hard. But they did. They found the only two people who couldn't talk to a group.

Chapter 10: What are the health implications of Biden's cancer diagnosis?

1877.044 - 1908.998 Scott Adams

Because if they even reduce the spending for something that only 10% of the public cared about, that would be enough to lose the next election. So it looks like there's nothing that will ever be done, and we will just cruise into this total deficit death spiral. So I don't know. Something's got to give. We'll see.

1940.695 - 1967.22 Scott Adams

According to Breitbart News, there's a poll that says majority of American voters say that lowering the cost of living should be Trump's top priority. Now, what they're thinking is they want the cost of eggs and gas and rent and stuff to go down, which should be hard for a president to do, except for maybe doing things that lower inflation a little bit.

0

1968.182 - 1974.261 Scott Adams

but I still think we're going to have to do something that's more structurally radical.

1976.025 - 2000.73 Scott Adams

It seems to me that if our demographics are collapsing and you've got a bunch of old people who are going to be in houses that are too big for them, and there might be one person left in the house, doesn't it make more sense to have situations where there's one old person who has a big house, but they've got some roommates who,

2001.957 - 2030.253 Scott Adams

that are just younger people who want to spend a lot less money on rent. Now, I know that that's already a thing, but it feels like it could be a much bigger thing, because there must be just zillions of old people who are living alone who would just love to have at least one roommate that's younger and brings a little noise and a little life into the house.

2031.053 - 2065.962 Scott Adams

But if you get the wrong roommate, it's a living hell, so I can see why people don't do it. Meanwhile, CBS News is offering Trump $20 million to settle his lawsuit over that Kamala interview on 60 Minutes. But in protest, the CBS News president, Wendy McMahon, has threatened to resign. And apparently they accepted her resignation. So it was more than a threat. So they accepted her resignation.

2067.303 - 2099.015 Scott Adams

But we don't know yet if Trump will accept the $20 million. Of course, this gives us a good idea for reducing the national debt. I think Trump should just keep suing the fake news and then use that money to pay down the debt. So this would be the first 20 million. Because you could sue the fake news all day long. You're like, oh, there's one. Oh, there's one. 20 million, 20 million.

Chapter 11: What is the current state of America's economy?

2134.589 - 2166.509 Scott Adams

And I saw a post by Chris Martinson who said, my PhD is in pathology toxicology. I performed autopsies. I know enough about anatomy to know that a slump hanging, so that would be the way he was hanging himself, is not going to fracture the hyoid bone into three pieces. Epstein did not kill himself. He was strangled by a strong man. This indicates we have a huge problem. So what do you think?

0

2167.73 - 2198.296 Scott Adams

Do you think that there was a national secret so great that Bongino and Patel, being patriots and being honest people in general... Do you think they were warned that they just can't tell the truth about this? And they were told, look, you're going to have to go out and lie because if the public found out what really went on with Epstein, it would be a big problem. What do you think?

0

2199.337 - 2226.463 Scott Adams

Because I have a natural inclination to believe what Dan Bongino says. Because there's just nothing about him that suggests he would be a liar. Just nothing. And there's nothing about Patel that would suggest that he would just go on camera and tell a huge whopping lie. But they both say stuff like, we saw the file.

0

2228.644 - 2261.032 Scott Adams

If there were something that were a big state secret, it wouldn't be in the file, would it? It seems like the only way this makes sense is if somebody dark from the dark part of the government tapped him on the shoulder and said, here's the deal. You really can't tell the public about this Epstein situation. We can't tell you who killed him. You can't tell them what Epstein was up to.

0

2262.452 - 2289.22 Scott Adams

The only thing you can do is comment on the files and the files say that it was a suicide and the files say that he was just having lots of parties at the house and he wasn't working for any intelligence operation do you believe that that he also was not working for any kind of intelligence operation because i think that's the official story right

2291.108 - 2321.628 Scott Adams

We all assume that he was working for at least one intelligence agency. But maybe not. Or at least that might be the official story. So, I don't know. The fact that... Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were both patriots, suggests that if somebody said, for the benefit of the country, you're just going to have to lie about this, that would be enough for them to lie.

2322.749 - 2346.934 Scott Adams

Because if they knew it was for the benefit of the country and it was a really big deal, well, you'd lie too, if the right people asked you to do it. So I think they're both honest, but in this specific situation, there might be some national interest or a safety situation that caused them to be a little less than accurate, let's just say.

2349.214 - 2377.622 Scott Adams

Well, according to Newsmax, the Supreme Court has backed Trump on ending the temporary protected status for 350,000 Venezuelans. So apparently there were a whole bunch of Venezuelans in the country under a TPS program. TPS. Sounds like something from that movie Office Space. But anyway, the TPS program was designed

Chapter 12: What are the challenges facing the U.S. budget and debt crisis?

2378.396 - 2408.35 Scott Adams

so that people from a country that's stricken by war or natural disasters or other catastrophes could come into the United States and work. But that made it hard to deport them, so now the Trump administration got the vote from the Supreme Court so they can deport them. A lot of them found work, so I'm not sure that they're the dangerous ones.

0

2408.51 - 2438.063 Scott Adams

It's not like they're the gang members, but have they found all the gang members? I don't know. I feel like maybe they're just getting ready in that one. Did you know that in the recent dust-up between India and Pakistan, apparently India's is accusing Pakistan of working with China for their targeting.

0

2439.063 - 2479.159 Scott Adams

So allegedly, China was providing for Pakistan real-time satellite data and radar tweaks and eyes on the troops and more than just weapon sales. So that's bad. So that would put India on a war footing with China if they took this seriously. We'll see if they do. But yeah, China's backing Pakistan. U.S. is backing India probably, directly or indirectly. So that's dangerous.

0

2480.923 - 2512.656 Scott Adams

There's a story in the New York Post about one of the big AI founders, Sutzkever, that's his last name. Anyway, he's one of the OpenAI co-founders, and he wanted to build a doomsday bunker to protect the company's scientists before an artificial general intelligence is released. What do you think of that? Is that telling you that AI is more dangerous than they're telling us?

0

2513.956 - 2540.68 Scott Adams

If the person who knows the most about them wanted to build a doomsday bunker to get away from the AI that they were developing? And would a bunker be the way to escape from AI? I don't know. But here's what I can add for context. Rich people or people spending other people's money, they would be spending the company's money, are not like the rest of us.

2542.961 - 2571.154 Scott Adams

And in this case, I would not be rich enough to build a doomsday bunker for myself. So if you were a multi-billionaire or your company was willing to spend the money on your behalf, if you said, well, there's only a 1% chance that I'll need a bunker, well, you don't care. If you're a billionaire, you can afford a bunker. And if it makes you feel better, it doesn't matter if there's a 1% risk.

2571.714 - 2601.504 Scott Adams

But the rest of us wouldn't take, you know, we wouldn't do something for a 1% risk. So it doesn't really tell you that AI is that dangerous. It's more a comment about rich people who have too much money and they can build a bunker and you can't. So I don't get too worried about rich people building bunkers because I think rich people have been building bunkers for 50 years, right?

2601.965 - 2626.612 Scott Adams

And they haven't needed them yet. So it's probably not so much about risk as it is about people who have a lot of money. Well, Spain is having another problem. You know that they had that big problem with losing power to a bunch of places in Spain. Now, according to the Daily Mail, they're losing all their telecom at the same time.

2627.433 - 2661.423 Scott Adams

So not even just one entity, it's a whole bunch of telecom entities. So they're losing their internet access and their cell phones all at the same time. And the official explanation is that they were doing a network upgrade. Do you think that a network upgrade took out every company that provides cell service? What part of the network upgrade were they doing?
