Chapter 1: What is the main theme of today's episode?
And good news, if you own stocks, stocks are up. And that means we should do a show. I probably would have done the show anyway, but, you know. All right, get my comments working here. They're working like crazy right there. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
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 a chance on taking it up to the next level All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or 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. It happens now. Go. Oh. I shudder with the goodness of it all. All right, well, as you know, Elon Musk is out of the government, at least in terms of Doge. He's going to be full-time back at his businesses. It's official now. I don't think he quit.
Chapter 2: How is Elon Musk influencing the automotive industry?
I think that was just the normal time he was planning to leave. But this is exciting. Apparently, next month, if you order a Tesla... And I don't know if it's every model or just the Model Y. It will drive to your house. So you won't have to go pick up your car. Your car will just, with no driver, will just drive to your house. And then you have your car.
That's about the coolest thing I've ever seen in a product. Tesla stock is up. And it looks like next month, Austin will have the driverless Teslas driving around. So that's going to be a big deal. All right, here's a story that you're free to disbelieve. It's a little bit too good to believe. A little bit too good. So there's a startup, according to Interesting Engineering,
that makes a refrigerator-sized machine that can make gasoline out of thin air. Now, it's not out of just air. It apparently, allegedly, it takes CO2 out of the air and turns it directly into gas you can use in your car with no modifications required. And it can operate on renewable electricity.
So if you had a solar panel and one of these refrigerator-sized machines, you could make yourself some gasoline right out of the air. How many of you believe that that works? And if it does work, may I add to your concern? Because you're going to say, oh, no, it's going to ruin all vegetation on Earth. Oh. Okay, I have to admit, my back is absolutely killing me today.
So I'm going to be in a non-standard podcasting position. Oh, that's so much better. So you might not be able to see me or hear me, but I'll be here. Oh, my God. That's much better. I think I slept on it wrong. Well, RFK Jr. is threatening to ban scientists, government scientists, from publishing in top journals.

Chapter 3: What are RFK Jr.'s views on scientific publishing?
Do you know why he doesn't want scientists, at least government scientists, to publish in The Lancet and some of these other top journals like the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA, it's because they're corrupt.
So he says, quote, we're probably going to stop publishing in The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and those other journals because they're all corrupt, meaning that they've got too much big pharma influence. Now, can you even hold that in your head? that the RFK Jr.
is the US Health Secretary, and he's just said that the major scientific journals in his field are so corrupt that he's not even gonna let people submit papers to them. Holy cow. I don't think there's another person in the world who would have said this or done this, but I think he's right. I think he's right.
Meanwhile, according to Fox News, the president of Harvard, he was giving an address and he admitted that they're not doing enough to have conservatives on campus and they don't have enough voices that are diverse. And he said that some faculty members had to think twice before teaching controversial subjects.
And he says the lack of conservatives on the Ivy League campuses is because something about expressing unpopular views. And now he thinks they need more conservative voices. Now, is that what you think? Here's the problem. His name is Garber, Alan Garber. So he said, the administration and others have said conservatives are too few on campus and their views are not welcome.
Insofar as that's true, he's acting like maybe it's not true. Insofar as that's true, that's a problem we really need to address. Now, how are you going to address it? If you're the kind of entity that has decided that conservatives are basically Hiller. How do you go from, oh, Republicans are Hiller, to, you know, we need more Hillers. You know, it would be great if we had like 30% Hillers.
That'd be just the right amount. I don't know. I feel like they've painted themselves in a corner. And it wouldn't matter how much they want to have more conservatives. The conservatives aren't going to get near it. And the other faculty would think they were hiring killers and they would all quit. So they might not have a path.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, the school system came up with what they called an equity grading system. New York Post is reporting on this. And the San Francisco officials got rid of it in one day. So the idea was to make it easier for people who weren't doing well in school to also get good grades. And what they were going to do is they were going to
not grade them on homework, even if they skipped it, not grade them on attendance if they cut class, and they could retake their final exam, which is the only thing that would count towards their grade. Well, it took 24 hours for the collective powers to say, nope, nope, let's get rid of that. So that's gone. I don't think that would have been gone in 24 hours before Trump.

Chapter 4: What challenges does Harvard face regarding conservative voices?
And he says there was a degree to which it was tolerated by the media writ large. That would be him. It's the weirdest thing to watch Jake Tapper do a book tour, which is very successful. I think his book is number one. People are saying good things about the book. But he's essentially confessing some of the biggest flaws in the mainstream media of which he was a part.
And he's not saying he wasn't part of it. He's not trying to say it was other people. He's saying it was him. And it's weirdly disarming, the fact that he called Laura Trump and apologized to her in person. Like, you want to get mad at him and say, oh, what about Laura Chomp? And then you find out he called her personally and apologized. And you're like, oh, well, I'm still a little bit mad.
And then you want to be mad at him for not calling out the lawfare of Letitia James. And then he calls her down. And I'm like, yeah, but what about... Okay, I guess you just said that. It's very disarming. And he's totally getting away with it. And it's an amazing thing to watch.
Jake Tapper also told Stephen A. Smith that none of the sources he talked to about Biden's declining brain, he said none of them showed any remorse. None of them? I guess they didn't write books. If you write a book, you have to show some remorse or people would be too mad at you. But I'm not surprised because they all thought they were working on the side of good. Oh, we're the good people.
Speaking of good, Paramount, as you know, is in a legal battle with Trump over the fact that their CBS News had edited a Kamala interview. And they're offering $15 million to settle Trump's lawsuit. But Trump's team wants $25 million. Now, the interesting thing about it is that I guess Trump's administration has control over whether Paramount does a big merger that they want to do.
So they've got about, I don't know, they might have a billion dollars on the line with the merger. So the difference between $15 million and $25 million probably is not that big a difference if it's the only way to get the billion-dollar merger going. So I don't approve of using that kind of government leverage, but there it is.
So I'd be surprised if they don't get their $25 million just to get it off the plate. Anyway... So former, according to MSNBC, so MSNBC had a guest on who was a former Biden pardon attorney. I didn't even know there was a pardon attorney, but there was one. Liz Oyer.
And while she was on, she accused the Trump administration of accepting a million-dollar donation from a family member of someone who got pardoned. But since there's no evidence that that happened, even the MSNBC host very quickly said, well, attended a fundraiser, but there's no evidence that they actually donated anything.
So it makes me wonder if the Paramount lawsuit, and wasn't there also a CNN lawsuit? It makes me wonder if Trump has finally broken through, where if they know there's a lie, that somebody says in their ear, ah, you better correct that, kind of like The View.

Chapter 5: Why was the equity grading system in San Francisco abolished?
Now, can you think of anything more ridiculous than that? Think of all the rules. Think of all the rules and regulations and laws that the government does. And maybe the single most important thing they could do is keep a record of who used the AutoPen and who authorized it. And apparently, that's never been a requirement. So there exists no record whatsoever of who used the auto pen for what.
So Representative Comer is going to look into it. And he might have even Jill Biden and Hunter Biden and Jean-Pierre, Corinne Jean-Pierre. so all the usual people might be called in we don't know if they'll go but they might be called but um in on the same topic there's a uh project veritas
undercover video of David Hogg saying that it was a well-known, what do you call it, an open secret, that the real power behind the throne was Jill Biden's chief of staff, Anthony Bernal.
And I don't know if that means that he was behind the auto pen, but the reveal is if you wondered who had the most power behind the curtain, according to David Hogg, other people might have different opinions, but according to him, it was Jill Biden's chief of staff. Now, does that ring true to you?
like when you hear that it was Jill Biden's chief of staff, does that sound like something that maybe is true? Because it totally sounds true to me. Can't you imagine that if Joe Biden was mentally incompetent, that Jill Biden's opinion probably counted for a lot because she could get him to say whatever she needed him to say.
But since she was not maybe as involved in politics, you know, in the detail level, it seems like she could have been easily influenced by her own chief of staff. So when I first heard that story, I thought to myself, that totally makes sense. Like if you just know the ordinary dynamics of people.
The wife would have the most control over the husband, but the chief of staff would have the most control over the wife because she would take his opinion as being somewhat, you know, correct and authoritative. So maybe, maybe we know more. And then the postmillennial is...
is writing about how there's a watchdog group, an environmental watchdog group, that says there's no evidence that Biden knew he was signing any climate executive orders. Now, there's no evidence, partly because there's no log of who signed what or why, but they're pointing out that Biden ordered it, but he never really talked about it. And although that's not proof,
It's definitely a head scratcher, isn't it? Can you imagine Trump signing an executive order for something that's really expensive, there's just billions of dollars involved? And can you imagine Trump never mentioning it? You can't. Of course he would mention it, because he'd be happy about what he did, it would be a big deal.

Chapter 6: How is AI changing productivity in the workplace?
According to the Financial Times, if you lived in the U.K., There's a one in three chance that your phone would be stolen. I guess phone thefts have nearly doubled. And now 29% of UK adults have had one of their phones stolen. I wouldn't even go into public. If one in three people had their phones stolen, I would never leave the house. So here's my advice to the citizens of the UK. Get out.
Get out. Run. Run. I don't know where you're going to go, but You probably want to go somewhere where there's not a one in three chance your phone gets stolen just because you left the house. Well, Trump's tariffs were, of course, stopped by a court, the Court of International Trade. It ruled, I guess, yesterday. that Trump does not have the authority to do these tariffs.
Now, the most surprising part about this story, I'd never even heard of the Court of International Trade. How many courts are there? How many courts have some kind of jurisdiction over everything Trump does with an executive order? But I guess the Supreme Court will hear this next. But allegedly, this court of international trade seems to have some kind of power over the process.
So I guess we'll wait for that. Some say that's why the stock market is up. Maybe. Well, according to News Nation, there's a company called Impossible Metals. that is sort of a robot machine that can pick up rare earth minerals from the bottom of the ocean. So I guess there are these well-known places where these potato-sized rocks that are just laying there on the bottom
And you don't want to use like a bulldozer scoop because you'd be ruining the environment. So they've got this cool piece of equipment that they've already built that just goes there and sort of picks up each rock. It can tell which rocks it wants to pick up and just sort of picks them up as it goes. And that's really cool.
So we're getting closer and closer to being able to produce our own rare earth minerals in the United States and nearby. Let's see, what else is going on? So you know how people like me and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ron Johnson and Rand Paul were all complaining that the budget process was not including the doge cuts.
Well, people like me did not understand the complexity of the budgeting process, but Speaker Johnson says, whoa, whoa, whoa, don't worry, that's coming up. Now, you remember what I asked? I was demanding you know, at least on X when I was responding to Stephen Miller. I wasn't demanding a specific outcome.
I was demanding that our politicians tell us when we should see some kind of cuts that would be Doge-related or at least, you know, get rid of the deficit a little bit. And I guess Speaker Johnson heard that. not necessarily from me, but you saw a lot of pushback from Republicans and conservatives, and according to the New York Post, he's giving us an answer.
He says his plan is to enshrine into law the cuts from Doge, but the process would be... It's going to get codified in the normal appropriations process in the fall and through a rescission package that helps you claw back money. So everybody understand that? You've got an appropriations process and you also have a rescission process.
