Chapter 1: What makes Coffee with Scott Adams a unique experience?
Are you ready for a good time? Well, you should be.
The news is pretty weird today. Come on, technology.
There we go. You were fighting me, but I won. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do.
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 is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a steiner, a canteen, a 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, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It's going to happen right now. Go. Exquisite. Well, the news is all kind of small and weird today.
Most of the stories aren't that big, but they're all kind of interesting and weird, so we'll have some fun today. Well, according to the New York Times, the White House is trying to figure out how to persuade Americans to get married and have more kids, because if we don't, all of America will be destroyed by lack of birth rate. Some ideas that are floating would be $5,000 baby bonus.
Who would have a baby for $5,000? You'd have to be really bad at math or something to have a baby for $5,000. Imagine how bad you'd have to be at math. It's like $5,000. Wow, I can raise this baby for 18 years and I've got a little extra left over. I don't know. It's going to have to be more than that.

Chapter 2: Why is the Biden family Easter photo controversial?
And there's something about reserving Fulbright scholarships for married applicants with children. I don't know. That seems small. But we'll see what they come up with. I would say it's too early to judge it. How many of you saw the weird Easter picture of the Biden family posing on some steps to the House? And it seems obvious that Joe Biden is photoshopped in.
Chapter 3: What happened with the Tesla vandal Dylan Adams?
So everybody in the family is dressed casually, as you would for an Easter event. But then in the back, there's this little stiff image of Joe Biden wearing a suit and tie. On Easter? Do you think he wore a suit and tie in his own house on Easter? It's so obviously Photoshopped. It's hilarious. Anyway, you have to see it. I guess I couldn't find a good picture of him with a casual shirt on.
So you know that Tesla vandal? His name was Dylan Adams, no relations. But apparently he vandalized at least six Tesla vehicles in Minneapolis, and he will not be going to jail. So they caught him, and they know he vandalized six vehicles for something like $20,000 in damage collectively. But he's going to be Instead of prosecution, he'll be up for a diversion program. A diversion program.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of Kristi Noem's purse theft?
Yeah, that'll fix him. I assume he's also paying to repair the cars? Don't you think that should be part of it? Because I would hate to think that the owner has to repair the car, but the perpetrator gets a diversion program? I don't know. We'll have to wait on that. This one's weird. Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, she got robbed in a restaurant.
So somebody with a surgical mask came by and grabbed her purse. And even though she has Secret Service, they got away. How bad is your Secret Service if somebody could get close enough to the Department of Homeland Security head to grab their purse And then they can also get clean away. That's not really good secret servicing, is it?
But the thing that's getting everybody's attention is that the contents of the purse allegedly include $3,000 in cash. How many of you carry $3,000 in cash with you just casually? I don't think I ever have. I don't think there's one time in my entire life I've had $3,000 in cash on my body. I don't have a purse. And it makes me wonder what the denominations of the money are.
Like when you open the purse, is it all a bunch of ones and it's just filled with cash? Or is it a bunch of hundreds in neat little packages? And why does anybody need $3,000 in cash if they're a top government official? Is it for tipping? If it's for tipping, I don't think a receipt care service is going to get a tip. I think they lost their tip. Anyway, that's weird.
You would not be surprised to learn that remember LeBron James endorsed Kamala Harris? Well, the endorsement was followed quickly by the Kamala Harris campaign giving $50,000 to his campaign event production company, I guess, some production company. So I don't think LeBron James made money, but the production of his little video endorsing her looks like it was paid for by Kamilaris.
So LeBron's a good negotiator, I guess. It makes you wonder how much of Kamala Harris's support was ever real versus how much was just pure anti-Trump and it didn't matter what she did or what she said. I don't know. So there was an organization called Check My Ads that's closing up because they lost their funding. Now, Check My Ads, according to Mike Benz,
who's the expert on all this censorship stuff, says that Check My Odds is a Soros censorship group formed for the sole and exclusive purpose of bankrupting heterodox media. Heterodox, meaning people that don't agree with the mainstream. And the way they would do that was they'd go after the advertisers so that the entity they didn't like would get starved of money.
But it turns out that the CheckMyAds people were starved of money themselves. And so they had to close. Not enough money. But here's my question. You know, I've been listening to Mike Benz enough to know that there are just countless NGOs and this whole censorship thing is not just domestic, it's international, but it affects the United States.
And how many entities are there whose entire job is to censor heterodox opinions? Because I'm wondering if it's hundreds. Is it a dozen? I really wonder the number because I've never heard of this one before until they closed. So who knows? All right. This next story has to be mentioned, but I might leave out some details. How many of you have already seen the news about Kanye West?

Chapter 5: How did LeBron James influence Kamala Harris's campaign?
Now, Ye is very direct about what he was doing with that male cousin, so I'm not going to say it, but he sure knows how to get attention, doesn't he? If you haven't seen the story, I'll just refer you to the news. You can Google it, and it'll pop right up. If you don't want to see something that might offend you, don't do it. Don't do it. If you're sensitive, don't do it.
But, yeah, that's the funniest little story today. You know, on one hand, I appreciate his transparency. It does seem to me that if people have been in that kind of situation, and there's not exactly one like that, but people have been in situations where, you know, there were children and something went terribly wrong in that domain. I'm being as general as I can.
I feel like it's good for them to go public. On the other hand, you'll always see him that way. I'll never be able to look at EA again and not think of this story every single time. So there's that. So RFK Jr. is making his move to get rid of artificial food dyes. Can we maybe stop making this news? Is this like the fifth or sixth time I've told you he's going to get rid of food dyes.
Chapter 6: What is Check My Ads and why did it close?
But I guess he's close to making it happen now. So we'll see. I also wonder, you know, it's one thing for RFK Jr. to be getting rid of stuff that's dangerous for us and Europe doesn't allow it. But I wonder if he's focusing on getting rid of stuff, additives to our food, that make it impossible for us to sell our food in Europe and other places. So that would be the win-win, right?
To get rid of the stuff that might be dangerous, but also to open up markets because Europe would have to say, okay, I guess we can buy your food now. Because Europe always plays the game of, oh, you got some extra stuff in there. I don't know about that. We can't buy that. It's more of a protectionist thing, I think. Well, Harvard is going to sue the government.
They are suing the government over the funding freeze because they say it's unlawful and beyond the government's authority. So the president of Harvard is saying that if the government normally would have given them $9 billion, that freezing it is illegal. To which I say, I'm no lawyer. But does the government have to give you $9 billion? Under what situation would they have to do it?
It seems like that should be optional just by its very nature. $9 billion? Now, do they have some kind of contract? Because it's not mentioned. If they had a contract, then I would say the government should have to perform to the contract. But I don't think so. I think they just want their money and the government doesn't want to give it to them. So what kind of case is that?
I guess we'll find out. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend watching an interview, and I didn't catch the name of the interviewer, but there's a gentleman who I'm guessing is a Democrat, and he's got long dark hair, and he's doing a really good job of interviewing Elizabeth Warren and asking her, did she really not notice that Biden was declining in mental acuity?
Now you have to watch it because she's lying so poorly that it's hilarious. So he asked, this was one of the questions. So we had a few follow-ups. He said, do you think he was as sharp as you? Which is a clever way to put it. And she actually had to stifle a laugh. do you think he was as sharp as you? And she's like, oh. Now, we don't know what she was thinking.
So she might have been thinking it was just a clever question, and she laughed. But it made it look like her answer was a little less credible. And then she said, quote, I said I had not seen his decline. He was sharp and on his feet. And then the questioner quite rightly says, that's sort of faint praise, isn't it? That he was sharp and on his feet. Would you say that about anybody else?
Is there anybody else in the world that you would give him credit for being standing up? And she laughed when he called her out because she knew that basically she was totally nailed. So she's a terrible liar. And said she didn't notice the difference between 2021 Biden and 2024. But of course, everybody did. So I always recommend when you know somebody's lying, because you don't always know.
Sometimes you think, well, that's what they believe. You know, I don't believe it's true, but they believe it's true. But sometimes you know they're lying. And that's where you can learn how to spot liars. So I would recommend that you watch it just to learn. Look at the body language. Look at her reactions. And it's just so obvious she's lying.

Chapter 7: What are RFK Jr.'s plans regarding food dyes?
Don't have any connection with these darn Democrats. I think that's always the wrong impulse. But it makes me wonder how many of the Trump hoaxes Larry David fell for. Do you want to make a bet that he believes the fine people hoax? I'll bet you. Do you want to make a bet that he believes 18 out of 20 of the top Trump hoaxes? I bet he does.
So that would be the challenge I would give to Larry David. Do you even know what's happening? Do you have any idea that you're living in this weird little bubble that's completely artificial? Well, the Democrats are trying to make something out of this MS-13 alleged Maryland dad. And so the Democrats spin on it is that Trump is starting with this guy. He's not a citizen.
But what he really wants to do, Trump does. is deport Americans to foreign prisons. I saw somebody at ABC this week saying that, one of the Democrat pundits. So what do you think? What do you think are the odds that Trump actually wants to deport American citizens to foreign jails and just sort of pick them up and deport them?
I would say the odds of that are approximately zero, but he did say it twice. So why does he say it? I think it's just a mistake. Yeah. I think he was just sort of spitballing. I don't think there's any real chance that Republicans would be okay with him picking up an American citizen and sending them to a jail.
I mean, there might be some weird exception where he's like Silence of the Lambs or something, but not ordinary people who committed crimes or didn't commit crimes. So I'm going to assign this to the Department of Imaginary Concerns. However, I will note that it's not based on nothing. It's not based on nothing because he did say it twice.
And he's going to have to explain what he means if he says it twice. So we'll see. So as you know, Signalgate 2 is raging. The idea that P. Hegseth not only had some battle plans and the first signal messages that the reporter saw, but that separately, He had one that his brother and his lawyer and his wife saw. So there's two signal gate dramas. Now, I don't think either one of them is important.
And the inside news is that Trump doesn't want to give anybody a win. It would be too easy. If they could get rid of Hagseth based on some signal messages, that would be pretty weak. So Trump is allegedly sticking with Hegseth and does not want to give the other side that easy win. But here's the thing that jumped out at me. So there's an article in Politico, an op-ed, by John Olyot.
So he had been the acting assistant to Hegseth for public affairs, but he resigned last week. Now, in the piece, Olliot said in Politico that there's, quote, total chaos at the Pentagon and the building is in disarray under Hegseth and Trump deserves better. Here's my new rule. Anybody who says chaos in that context, that's just propaganda. So you can immediately just discount it.
Yep, plenty of chaos. Do you know who else has chaos? Every business unit you've ever known. If you're working in a big company and you don't know the full strategy and you don't understand what's happening next, don't you think it's chaos? Chaos is the most generic, unprovable statement you could ever make. It's pure propaganda. If you wanted to say something is wrong, He would give details.

Chapter 8: What chaos is happening in the Pentagon under Hegseth?
But there are no polls showing American opinion on that. No recent ones. Is that obviously missing? Just think about it. It's probably the most important question we have for life and death of whether we would do it. And there's no poll to show what the popularity is. Do you know why there's no poll? I'm just guessing it wouldn't be popular.
Now, I think the answer to the poll has everything to do with how you ask it. So if you say something like, do you think we should bomb the nuclear sites? You'll get like 56% will say, yeah, probably we should. We don't want them to have a nuke. But if you ask the question this way, should we attack Iran or rely only on diplomacy? you would end up with almost nobody saying attack Iran.
They'd say, well, diplomacy, obviously, you know, as if diplomacy is going to work. But I would be very curious why there's such an obvious lack of polling on such a vital question. My guess is that there's quite an organized, let's say organized effort to suppress some points of view and to boost others. That would be my guess. According to J.D.
Vance, there's some kind of India trade deal coming, but the way he words it makes it sound like it isn't. So if you read the headlines kind of quickly, you'd say to yourself, whoa, looks like India and the United States are going to have a trade agreement really fast, and that could be really good because it would calm markets and it would maybe get us
get something going where the other country is going to board faster. But here's what J.D. Vance says. He says the U.S. and India have officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade agreement, trade negotiation. The terms of reference? I've never even heard that term. They're going to finalize? They've officially finalized the terms of reference.
I think that what that means is they've decided how they're going to talk about it, Or what's in and what's out? I don't even know what it means. But I'll tell you what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean that you're close to a deal. This is signaling to me that they want to make it sound like they're close to a deal, but they're not close to a deal. You wouldn't use that terms.
You wouldn't say they finally is the terms of reference. You'd say we almost have a deal, something like that. Well, apparently, speaking of deals, there's a massive Chevron project that looks like it's going to go forward in the Gulf of America. So there's a gigantic oil and natural gas reserve there. And Chevron's going to go after it, 75,000 gross barrels of oil daily.
So Breitbart is reporting on this. Now, does it seem to you that maybe everything will depend on our energy business? Because it's the only thing that you could scale up that has massive dollars involved with it. So maybe we could massively scale up our energy production And maybe that would help our GDP enough to take a bite out of our debt. Maybe.
Doesn't seem like enough by itself, but it's good to hear it. Well, according to the Postmillennial, Trump met with the CEOs of Target, Walmart, Lowe's, and Home Depot talking about the tariffs. And one of the things that caught my mind is that CNBC apparently said,
