What is Coffee with Scott Adams?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, so you've never had a better time. But if you like to take it up two levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. 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, and it happens now. Go. All right, here's a confession. It's actually water this morning because I'm sick of shit, if you couldn't tell. Let me tell you what you don't want.
You don't ever want to have a cold with a cough at the same time that you have an untreated hernia and asthma. You don't want those three things at the same time. Trust me. It's a long week. Well, apparently banks are shipping gold from London to New York City, which is making people think, wait a minute, is that where we hit our gold from Fort Knox and are they just putting it back?
What are the latest updates on the gold market?
But the official reason is that the price of gold in New York is higher than the price in London. So the banks that own a lot of gold are taking their London gold and selling it in New York for a nice little profit. Or they're refilling four docks, depending on which theory you want to go with. Meanwhile, Cornell University, they're looking into what they're going to do about DEI because President Trump wants to kill all the DEI. But they're not commenting on it. They're just sort of looking at what they're going to do, which doesn't sound promising, does it? It sounds like they're going to hide their DEI in the rest of the company, like everybody else seems to be doing.
What is happening with DEI programs in universities?
And New York University, also no comment. They're looking into their DEI program, too. So DEI, one university at a time, seems to be dying. Here's a story I don't fully understand, but I think it was the Financial Times said that the Trump administration is trying to get charges dropped against the Tate brothers in Romania. Does that sound real? Allegedly, Rick Grinnell met with some Romanian folks when he was at the security conference. And he talked about this, about freeing the Tate brothers. Who knows? You know, when the Tate brothers were first picked up, I was one who was telling you, don't assume these are real charges because they're very political. It would be easy to imagine it was a political hit of some kind.
What are the implications of the Department of Defense's social engineering program?
So we still don't know if they did anything that warranted the legal system. But there might be some action there. We'll see. According to The Federalist, the Department of Defense had a program in the government for social engineering. It allocated millions of dollars to it. to what the Federalist says included creating phony social media profiles that the government could turn against Americans. Do you believe that? Do you believe that there is a funded project to create fake accounts on social media to brainwash Americans? That's what the Federalist is reporting. They say they've got documents and receipts and everything else.
Is there fraud in government funding programs?
I think there might be another side to that story, but that's what it is at this point. But apparently the program is now complete, so they've already used it to influence America or crap on us or something. All right, if you're joining late, I'm very sick, so I don't know if I'll be able to get through this entirely. But if it seems like I'm low-energy Jeb Bush, oh, there's a reason. So the media continues to say that the Doge project is not finding any fraud. Now, is that true? They haven't found any fraud? They found a lot of waste. They found a lot of things that we don't want to put money into. But the New York Times, which says that Doge is not finding any fraud, has also separately reported that during the pandemic, at least 17% of all the billions that went to people for pandemic stuff, 17% was fraud. So what are the odds? that all of our other programs that give massive amounts of money to NGOs, what are the odds that they're not fraud?
