Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
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 this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or 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.
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. And it happens now. Go. Do you feel better now? You should. Well, ladies and gentlemen, um, Let me tell you a little thing about what's going on with me right now. I'm officially disabled. I got my wheelchair here. And I can barely walk.
Chapter 2: Why is Scott Adams officially disabled?
So for the last three months, I've had this insane leg-related pain. So I'm in pretty bad shape. And if I scream during this broadcast, it won't be that unusual because I spend half of the day screaming in pain. It's been about three months now.
And the weirdest thing about it is that I've predicted to my audience on Locals, the subscribers, I told them that as soon as my right leg, which is where all the pain was, that as soon as it got better, the very moment it got better, it would just switch to my other leg. and it did that this morning.
Yesterday afternoon, after like a week or 10 days of not being able to walk on my right leg, having to limp or hop or use the wheelchair, it just cured itself. So my right leg is perfectly functional. But the exact problem, the exact problem, just exact, moved instantly to my left leg. And this is the fourth or fifth time it's jumped over to the other leg. So some say it's sciatica.
I don't know, but I'm in bad shape. So I thought I would share that with you in case I scream during the broadcast because the odds of me screaming in pain are actually pretty high. Anyway, let's see. What's the news? 1,200 scientists. say that they're done with Trump's America. They hate it. They're going to move to Europe or they're going to move somewhere else.
And they don't like the federal funding cuts and the mass firings. And now they're going to Europe where, as you know, they have much more freedom. Can you imagine going from America to Europe because you're seeking freedom? I don't know. But I did a little query on Grok to find out, is 1,200 research scientists a lot? Turns out there's close to 2 million of them in the United States.
2 million research scientists. So 1,200 would be .0006. of the 2 million. Do you suspect that the finest research scientists are the ones that are going to Europe? I don't. Do you suspect that the 1,200 who say they're going to Europe, some say they're going to Canada, are really going to do it? I doubt it.
Because if the reason they want to go somewhere is that they lost funding, is an American research scientist going to get more funding in Europe? I mean, maybe. I don't know about how that works. But none of that seems like a good idea. So maybe there's something wrong with U.S. research scientists. Anyway, the stock market's all crazy and down because questions about tariffs.
The reciprocal tariffs go into effect on April 2nd, so a couple days. And I am deeply curious how that's all going to work out.
On one level, I completely understand that if we don't completely or fairly substantially rewrite the economic relationships between the United States and the countries we trade with, that we don't have any chance of getting out of our economic hole, meaning the debt, and we need to do it. On the other hand, it's pretty much guaranteed to cause some

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the upcoming tariffs?
So there's almost nothing you can watch on the screen except social media stuff. So if I could just, you know, have really good microphones and, you know, cameras that showed everybody's faces and that. Yeah, I would pay more than the average person because I'm more interested. I think a good market rate for that would be probably 20 to $50 pay-per-view.
I would absolutely watch that, that conversation. That's I think it's going to be fascinating. So I'm all for it. I know I'm not expecting it to change the world, but Hey, you never know. Um, you'd heard of this before the gateway pundits writing about it today that, uh,
You know how you always watch the White House press briefings and you see all the same left-leaning journalists seem to be all in the front? And you wonder, why did they always get to be in the front? Like, who makes the rule? I always thought it was the White House. I thought the White House decided who was where and that they just sort of put the ones who had a lot of tenure in the front.
And so that would be stuff like the basic networks and stuff. But it turns out that the seating was determined by something called the White House Correspondents Association, which, as you might imagine, is a left-leaning organization. So they put all the left-leaning people in the front.
Now, does that sound like a good idea to you, that the press itself decides that the left-leaning people exclusively get the good seats? No, it's a terrible idea. So the White House has decided that they are now in charge of the seating chart, which means that some of your favorite podcasts and independent journalists might be up front. And boy, will that be fun.
Can you imagine Mike Cernovich in the front row or Alex Jones front row? I have no idea which individuals are on the list, but man, that's going to get good. That's going to get good. So Trump continues to tease about a third term. So NBC is reporting this, that one of the ways it could happen, allegedly, would be if J.D. Vance and Donald Trump could run as a ticket where J.D.
Vance is the head of the ticket, but Trump is the vice president. And they run for another term. And then J.D. Vance steps down and Trump becomes president again. Now, I saw some experts saying, no, that would be totally illegal. You know, the Constitution, or is it the Constitution, I guess, says, you know, two terms. And to me, it sounds illegal.
But I think Trump said, you know, maybe it's a possibility. But he thinks he has other possibilities to run for a third term. Now, here's what's weird about this. Why is there not more pushback on the fact that he's literally offering to be essentially some kind of a dictator who doesn't just take two terms and leave? Shouldn't they be saying, he's a dictator, we knew it.
He's trying to never leave office. And then just use this as their example of why he never wants to leave office. Now, of course, he would still have to win an election. So I don't believe that any of his schemes, and I'm going to call them schemes, I don't believe any of them involve no election. So the public would have to vote for his third term. And I think this is a terrible idea.

Chapter 4: What dysfunctions exist within Health and Human Services?
So if it were me and I thought that would keep me out of jail, I might be looking at it pretty hard. Maybe. Anyway, you probably all know that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has a vacancy and they've got this election on Tuesday. And if it goes the wrong way, the entire country, if not the world, could be destroyed.
Elon Musk says the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, quote, might decide the future of America and Western civilization. Now, if you're like me, and you hear that there's an election in Wisconsin, you probably said to yourself, well, that can't affect anything important.
But the argument is that if the left leaning Supreme Court nominee or a person running for the office, if the left leaning one gets elected, that person would support reapportionment where you decide how many representatives and what type based on how you draw the lines. that they can redraw the lines to eliminate several GOP representatives and actually flip the House.
So control of the House might depend on this one tiny election in Wisconsin, which is why you saw Elon Musk go to Wisconsin. He's putting a bunch of money in it to try to get a the candidate Schimel elected instead of the far left leaning Crawford. The polls at the moment are too close to call. So we are right on the border of losing almost everything.
Now, were you confident that the Democrats couldn't come up with some scheme to derail the Republicans, even though the Republicans had all the popular support and the Democrats are in the lowest approval they've ever been? But boy, they're good at the lawfare, aren't they? They know how to use the legal system and play the system and scheme.
Both sides do it, but Democrats are quite effective at it. So Trump had called Crawford, the left-leaning one, a disaster, a liberal lunatic who will throw the country into chaos. Chaos. Now, is everybody just calling everybody an agent of chaos? That is the emptiest word in politics right now. How do you define chaos? Everything looks like chaos from the outside. All war is chaos.
Congress itself is chaos. The way we make laws is chaos. If you could call everything chaos, it doesn't really mean a thing. So I cringe a little bit when I see Republicans use it because it's the main thing that Democrats say. Their biggest argument is oligarch and chaos. Completely meaningless. Just those things are not connected to anything in the real world.
And they should be relegated to, that's right, the Department of Imaginary Concerns. So if you're worried about all the chaos, you should probably look to the Department of Imaginary Concerns where they handle all that. They've got policies, imaginary policies, to handle the imaginary chaos. Anyway, but the Trump experience could come to a crashing halt as soon as this week.
And that sucks more than just about anything I can think about. Meanwhile, and somehow my head is having trouble accepting these two thoughts, that even the Democrats think the Democrats suck. Even the Democrats think the Democrats suck. At the same time, they might be ready to take control of the House. How could both of those things be true? It just feels like pick one. So here's an example.

Chapter 5: What are Trump's threats regarding Putin?
One is that Musk gets, they claimed, $8 million a day from the government or something like that. Now, he doesn't give any details, but the government doesn't give away money to something like Tesla or, I don't know, maybe it's SpaceX, I don't know, unless it's good for the government. meaning good for the public.
And then he says, but the people on Social Security will only get $65 a day, and also sort of suggesting that Musk is going to cut that number. Now, these are not related numbers. He's talking to morons. And let me be clear about this. I'm not saying that all Democrats are dumb. There are plenty of brilliant Democrats, especially the lawyers. The lawyers are pretty clever.
But the protesters are morons. There's no other way around it. The protesters are morons. And they're cheering for that like they understand it. Do they understand that Musk's entire approach is to protect Social Security and Medicare payments at at least their current level? And he's the only one who can do it. Because if he doesn't get the national debt under control, everybody loses everything.
Everybody loses everything. And do you think that there's anybody at a Tesla protest who has ever even heard that? They don't even understand that we have a debt crisis, and there's literally only one plan to get it under control, and that's DOGE. They are morons. And, well, that's pretty much the whole thing. How many of you think that the government should defund NPR and put it out of business?
In the comments. How many think that's a good idea? Defund NPR and put it out of business because they're too left-leaning. They're pretty much all Democrats. All right. If you think that, you have been fooled by the news. The government only funds 1% of NPR directly and at most 3% indirectly. So let me bring you up to the smart people.
There is no scenario in which the government cutting funding ends NPR. It's 1% of their funding. It wouldn't make any difference at all. Why are we even talking about it? This is a totally imaginary concern. So the imaginary problems are not just on one side.
So I'm going to take the defund NPR, which I think we should because I don't know why we're giving them 1% or 3% if you count the indirect funding. I don't know why we're doing that. so I'm in favor of cutting it. But no, NPR is not going to go anywhere. How mad are you that you didn't know that? For those of you who said, yes, cut the funding and get rid of NPR.
How many of you are embarrassed right now that you thought that cutting the funding, the government funding, would make any difference at all? To me, that pisses me off that I had to sort of deduce that and figure it out. I think maybe Catherine Marr might have said that at one of the hearings. But is your news serving you?
Because I think your social media and your news is acting like if that funding got cut, NPR would go away. So, yeah. No, this is a complete fake story. NPR can't go away. Not from government funding being cut. According to Doge, so Elon Musk did a big event in Wisconsin. There were huge lines, got a big applause.

Chapter 6: How could the Wisconsin Supreme Court election impact the country?
That's my humorous summary of it, which isn't too far off. But Derek Thompson was one of the two authors with Ezra Klein. But here's what he says. Just listen to this. Something has happened in the last 50 years of liberalism.
The rules that we wrote in the 60s to protect the environment have created strictures and rules that keep us from building the things we need in the 2020s, like housing and energy. When you give that power at the local level, he has the ability to stop development entirely. And that's really what we've seen in so many areas that are governed by liberals.
And then he says the five states with the highest rates of homelessness are all governed by Democrats. Every single time as he had 10% of vote share of progressives, the number of housing permits declines by 30%. So as an area becomes more liberal, it permits fewer homes. Now this is one anecdote of many. So basically the liberals are all about restricting things. Don't do this, don't do that.
At the same time that they need things. They need energy, they need affordable homes. So they're completely self-immolating. The Democrats are filled with idiots, honestly. They're just a lot of idiots who can't tell that there's some kind of a connection between all of these restrictions and the fact that they can't get anything built.
So I do think, I'll say it again, that the authors of Abundance have done quite a good service in trying to wake up the Democrats to get rid of regulations that are unnecessary. like Republicans. So maybe if they become more like Republicans, we'll have something. Meanwhile, Trump is mad at Zelensky for backing out of the mineral deal. Did I predict that Zelensky would not accept the mineral deal?
I think I did, right? Because I don't think Putin or Zelensky are going to accept any deal about anything. I think they will say that they're going to do it. And then as soon as our negotiators walk out the door, they're going to do a press event and say, well, you know, we can't really do that.
But if you added a bunch of things to the deal that we want and you don't want, then we might do a deal. So that's why Trump is mad at Putin. And now he's mad at Zelensky for trying to back out of the mineral deal. And he said, Zelensky, I see he's trying to back out of the rare earth mineral deal. And if he does that, he's got big problems.
We made a deal on rare earth and now he's saying, I want to renegotiate. But I do wonder if the negotiators are maybe making agreements that couldn't be accepted by the bosses. So there might be a little bit of the fact that Zelensky isn't in the negotiations. You know, something's just happening without him. So he's just going to kill everything that he wasn't involved with.
Anyway, meanwhile, Trump says he's going to bomb Iran if they don't accept a new nuclear deal. And he gave him two months. Now, this is a problem because Trump doesn't bluff. And he just said he'll bomb Iran if they don't accept a new nuclear deal. And they're never going to accept a new nuclear deal. So did he just basically tell us in two months he's going to bomb Iran?
