Chapter 1: What is the highlight of today's episode?

1.135 - 26.163 Scott Adams

The greatest reframe you've ever seen is coming at you today. All right. 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.

27.1 - 47.084 Scott Adams

But if you'd like to experience a higher level of happiness than even before, well, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a sign, 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. Dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

47.124 - 87.401 Scott Adams

It's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen right now. Go. Satisfying. So good. Well, Microsoft has made a big and important announcement. They've developed a quantum computing thing called the Majorana 1. It's the first quantum processing unit that's built on a topological core. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. It's the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.

0

Chapter 2: What recent advancements have been made in quantum computing?

88.321 - 114.432 Scott Adams

Well, now everything makes sense. Can we all admit we don't know a damn thing about quantum computing? We don't know what difference it's going to make, except maybe your encryptions will all be at risk. It's not going to replace your laptop computer or your phone because it doesn't do sort of general computing. Do we even care? And it's always a few years away.

0

114.832 - 142.859 Scott Adams

Like the chip is not the thing that, we got this magic chip and the news is all abuzz. But it's still years away. The claim is that now those years of work are more, it's a more clear and obvious path. So we're definitely going to get to quantum computing. And it's just, it's only just years away. It's just years away. So at about the same time as fusion, which, by the way, is years away.

0

Chapter 3: What predictions can be made about Cash Patel's first day?

142.919 - 167.988 Scott Adams

It's just years away. Any year now. With the flying car. So we'll get the flying car, the fusion, and the quantum computing, I think, exactly on the same day. That's my prediction. Well, today is show us the cash day. Cash Patel will get his vote. We'll see if he makes it to be the head of the FBI. And the question I have is,

0

169.437 - 200.817 Scott Adams

Do you suppose that like the rest of the big administration nominees, that Cash will have some dramatic and notable first day rules? Do you think something big is going to happen in the next, say, 48 hours? I'm assuming he gets the vote. We think that he's going to get through, right? If he gets through, what does he have planned for the first day? I'm going to make a prediction.

0

200.837 - 219.644 Scott Adams

Aside from the normal firings, you know, there seems like there's always firings. But I think he's going to announce an investigation into something that had not yet been investigated that we all wish had been investigated. I'm going to predict there will be a crowd pleaser.

0

220.854 - 247.216 Scott Adams

so that at least one thing that Kash Patel says within the next seven days, assuming if he gets the vote, something he's going to say in the next seven days will make you go, whoa, I always wished that would happen, but I never thought it would. So that's my prediction. Meanwhile, Grok, the A.I., FromX is the number one downloaded app at the moment.

0

247.416 - 271.928 Scott Adams

And that's even, as Elon says, before the voice mode, the thing that allows you to just have a conversation with it. That's before that's even in the app. But that's coming real soon. And some other cool features. So will Elon Musk have the greatest AI? And will it remain the greatest AI? There's a pretty good argument that that's the way it's going to go.

272.895 - 297.07 Scott Adams

Because if creating the best intelligent app requires creating the fastest and biggest and best infrastructure, who's better at creating the best and fastest and best infrastructure? It's sort of nobody's, it's not even the second place. So in theory, if you're going to predict which AI becomes dominant and stays that way,

297.97 - 322.591 Scott Adams

It would be the one that's being supported by the person who can build a data center in an hour and a half. That's not true. But things that other people just can't do, infrastructure and manufacturing-wise. So that's impressive. Meanwhile, Lindsey Graham had a conversation with Zelensky. And Zelensky is happy about that.

322.651 - 346.328 Scott Adams

He says, we greatly appreciate the bicameral and bipartisan support of the U.S. Congress. It's funny that he's talking about Lindsey Graham and he said bye twice. Bicameral and bipartisan. Is there any other? I don't know. He might have left that one. But he says the Ukrainian people are very, very happy about it and want to fight against what they call the Russian aggression.

348.167 - 373.543 Scott Adams

And he says Senator Graham is being constructive, doing a lot to help peace closer. And the way he's doing that is trying to make sure that we give them more money. So Lindsey Graham is trying to make the world a safer place by giving your money to somebody else. Has that worked before? Is giving our money away the way we stay safe? I don't know. I'd like to see the data on that.

Chapter 4: How is Lindsey Graham influencing U.S. support for Ukraine?

723.388 - 750.696 Scott Adams

if the only way you could get there is with massive support of the public? Because remember, Doge is going after the low-hanging fruit first. When they start getting into the tougher stuff and the bigger cuts, which I hope are ahead, they're going to need massive public support. Would it make sense? One of the ideas now that's being floated is that 20% of all the Doge savings

0

751.98 - 780.459 Scott Adams

would become a check that goes to the public that doesn't make any sense economically so i don't support it economically but as a way to keep doge popular so that has the right amount of support and it's got the right just the right framing it just comes as a positive thing it might make sense so i'm going to say i'm solidly on the fence

0

781.457 - 807.857 Scott Adams

meaning that I don't know if we can tell if getting more support for Doge is the most important thing worth 20% of all the money we might save. And the stimulus is always a good idea. Stimulus is never a bad idea. But this one's tough. I would say there's no obvious right answer on this. So either way it goes, I'm inclined to say, let's see how it plays out.

0

808.717 - 834.315 Scott Adams

But once they've raised the possibility, It's going to be a little hard to say it's never going to happen. I've got a feeling they might kick the can down the road and say, if we find a trillion, well, we'll return X amount. And then we'll see if they find a trillion. So we'll see. It's not a terrible idea. It's just hard to predict how that goes.

0

834.395 - 855.496 Scott Adams

So if you think of it as a psychological thing and not an economic thing, it makes more sense. Well, Trump is the ultimate showman, and he likes to tease about what's coming with Doge. He said, quote, some of the things I don't want to discuss, they are very, very embarrassing to people. But you will be seeing and reading about it very soon.

857.336 - 876.589 Scott Adams

Okay, so I love that Trump is teasing that there's going to be something entertaining to come. And it's like, you know, very, very bad, you know, scaring people who know they're being looked into. But here's an example that the Free Beacon reported on.

877.85 - 900.688 Scott Adams

Libs of TikTok is talking about this on X. So here's what the Free Beacon found, that there were $2 billion in taxpayer dollars that went to a brand new nonprofit called Power Forward Communities. Now, have you noticed that all these non-government, nonprofit organizations have names like that?

901.886 - 928.012 Scott Adams

They all have names like the Power Forward Communities or the, I'm just making these up, but the Democratic Freedom Organization. They all have these generic American sounding names so you can't tell one from the other and there are thousands of them. So the first thing you need to know is I think they're intentionally confusing so that they can hide among all the other money laundering entities.

928.853 - 947.019 Scott Adams

Allegedly money laundering. Anyway, so there's this brand new little nonprofit with a generic name like the rest of them that has what they call close ties to Democrat Stacey Abrams. Well, there's nothing wrong with that, right?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Doge's proposed savings refund?

1536.989 - 1559.163 Scott Adams

because I don't need to get into the details, but if you go all the way back to Russia collusion, there's a lot of British fingerprints on that, if you know what I mean. I don't know exactly what they're up to, but a lot of British fingerprints. But then they've got this Royal Society and get a bunch of scientists to sign on the same opinion.

0

1560.024 - 1569.617 Scott Adams

When was the last time you saw a whole bunch of experts sign on to the same opinion? that wasn't absolute bullshit. Has it ever happened?

0

1570.657 - 1600.341 Scott Adams

I feel like whenever the experts all sign a document, be it 51 intelligence experts or be it scientists who are backing climate models or be it this, whenever you see that the experts have to sign a document and they all got together, that's almost never true, in my opinion. Now, you could argue that in your opinion it is true, But I think that's a real good indication of lack of credibility.

0

1600.621 - 1623.227 Scott Adams

So it's just a political thing. All right. I saw Insurrection Barbie had some great posts today. I'm going to talk about a few of them. Insurrection Barbie on X, you should follow that account. So Insurrection Barbie says, once you realize that the entire resistance to Trump is made up of like 300 super connected Democrats,

0

1623.834 - 1654.404 Scott Adams

and then a bunch of paid protesters, you realize why the last election, why they lost the election, and why they keep leading voters. Now, do you buy that? My neighbors promised me that they would not use heavy equipment before 8 a.m. my time. It's now 7.30 a.m. That's very heavy equipment. I think my microphone doesn't pick it up, but right now I'm in the middle of a war zone.

1654.925 - 1671.238 Scott Adams

You can't tell probably. I hope you can't tell. But the Interaction Barbie's idea that there are only 300 well-connected Democrats, that completely tracks with my impression of what's going on. Have you noticed how it's the same bunch of

1672.621 - 1684.784 Scott Adams

Are anti-trump and they their jobs can change and they might be in the you know this Congress But that they might be the Senate later then they used to be in the nonprofit, but now they're working for Biden But now Biden's gone.

1684.824 - 1700.929 Scott Adams

They're back to a nonprofit and they're just cycling around if you could control 300 entities Because you had 300 people that you know because you had other Democrats they can support them you'd make sure you had Democrats and all the key places and

1701.548 - 1728.856 Scott Adams

If you could control the money that controls the protests and then you could control the news, because you would only need, what, 20 people under your control in the entire news business and you could control the entire news with 20 people. Think about that. If your 20 people were the heads of some news organizations, they would just make sure that the other people were on the same team.

Chapter 6: How do Trump and the Democrats differ in their political messaging?

5164.882 - 5186.434 Scott Adams

Because even though that says nothing about any individual, the person who's helping you at the grocery store, you can't assume they're in the KKK just because 20% of the town is. So you still have to treat all the individuals like individuals. But would you ever go to a place where 20% of them

0

5187.668 - 5213.721 Scott Adams

seem to be deeply on the side of you're not okay, there's something wrong with you, why would you do that? Who would do that intentionally? So for your own self-protection, economic well-being, psychological well-being, I would say, I got some advice. Stay away from those freaking racists. And nobody would argue with that. because we all have the same sense of security.

0

5214.382 - 5242.212 Scott Adams

And I've said this before, but I think now it comes into better focus. If you're discriminating against an individual, you're probably just making a mistake. I would never be in favor of that, because you're just reducing your own options. Like if you said, I would never hire whoever, any kind of demographic you pick, Well, what if the very best person available happens to be in that demographic?

0

5242.332 - 5265.397 Scott Adams

You're just limiting your own choices. It doesn't even matter if you think there's some statistical difference. It's not going to be enough of a difference that you could tell every single person's character. That doesn't work that way. So discriminating against an individual just never makes sense. It's not good for the individual who is discriminated against.

0

5266.018 - 5296.278 Scott Adams

It's never good for the person who discriminates. And it's not good for society. So I'm against it 100%. But in the case of the black family who could choose to not live in the community with a KKK, if you're making your safety decisions based on demographics, that's totally okay. That's not racist. That's self-protection. Your security is your top priority and your family.

5297.902 - 5328.071 Scott Adams

You have no obligation to ignore like crime stats or polls or anything else. You can use any source you want if you're protecting yourself from danger. Now, on top of that, you've got DEI. And let me ask you just a basic statistical question. If you were working at a company where all the people look like you, And it doesn't matter who you are. You can be black or white or Asian, whatever.

5328.872 - 5348.088 Scott Adams

Pick anything Hispanic. If everybody at the company looked like you, what are the odds of you getting sued for some racial discrimination? Well, zero, right? Now, what are the odds if you lived in a place that was more diverse and you were a white American male?

5349.343 - 5378.967 Scott Adams

what are the odds that you would be accused of being a racist, or even if you were accused of nothing, what are the odds that you would be passed over for a job? Pretty good, or at least greater than zero. I would argue that for decades, white American men were directly discriminated in every diverse community. So if you had a choice of going somewhere where the odds of you specifically

5379.687 - 5408.347 Scott Adams

being discriminated against because of your demographic, you should avoid that. And that's just common sense. It's just how to how to plan your economics is how to stay safe. It's just common sense. And it works for every race in every situation. So it's just as true for black Americans. Don't move into the town with the KKK. Why would you do that? There's no reason to do that if you have options.
