Chapter 1: Why is Scott celebrating his birthday on the podcast?
Well, there you are. It's good to see you. Happy Sunday. And happy birthday to me. I will stipulate that you all love me like crazy. As much as I love you back. All right. Let's take care of that. We've done all our happy birthdays. Let me get my comments on. It's kind of a non-eventful birthday, I would say, relatively speaking.
Chapter 2: What happened at Scott's stepdaughter's wedding reception?
I mean, it's not like there aren't events, but you know what I mean. So last night was my stepdaughter's wedding reception, which was just a big party at the house. And oh my God, that was a lot of action for somebody like me, Way, way too much stimulation. But they all had a great time. We'll see if I can stay awake.
There was only about two hours between the end of the party and me waking up to do this. So my stepdaughter was still up from the night before when I got up to do the show. So that tells you how much fun they had. 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.
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 Here's a copper and margarine glass, a tankard shell, a canteen jugger flask, a vessel of a guy. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dope meeting at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It's going to happen now. Go. Oh, Paul, thank you. I won't say thank you every time, but I do appreciate it every time. I think you ought to know. All right. It's summer. Can we call it summer? Yeah, let's call it summer.
So let's see what kind of stories the news is serving up in the summer. Now, if you don't follow the news, you wouldn't know that all the A-plus players take the summer off, or at least they're gone for a big part of the summer. So the stories that you get in the middle of the summer are less exciting than the ones you would get normally. Let me give you an example.

Chapter 3: What are summer news stories like?
In Politico, there's a headline and a story that goes with it that Trump and Musk aides have spoken amid pause and hostilities. It's not even about Musk and Trump. It's about their aides have spoken. Don't you think they both have about 1,000 people in their circle and the overlap is probably like 500 people? Of course their aides have spoken. Of course they have. What kind of story is that?
It has nothing to do with Musk or Trump or any decisions that they've made. That's what you call a summer story. It looks like a story, but it's not really. Not really. All right, here's another one. According to The Hill, The Atlantic has a seaweed blob that's going to break records, and it's going to get even bigger than it is now. It's already breaking records. So it's a seaweed blob.
So I think there's something that happens in the summer that happens less the rest of the year, which is we get attacked by blobs. It's not the same blob every time. Like it could be a hurricane blob. It could be a UFO blob. It could be a meteor sighting toward the planet. But there's always some blob that's coming after us. And then we worry about it for a while.
And then we move on to the next blob, I guess. All right. Here's another summer story. A reporter asked Trump, are you worried that Russia-Ukraine could spiral into a nuclear conflict? What kind of question is that? And he says, Trump says, I don't, I hope not, I hope not. So in case you were wondering, Trump hopes there's not a nuclear war that doesn't have to happen. So that's your summer news.
In case you were wondering, you might have been wondering, I wonder what Trump thinks of nuclear war. Well, now you have your summer news answer. He's opposed to it. Doesn't like nuclear war. Surprise. All right. In other news, there's something called an ice battery program. which would power a bunch of homes according to interesting engineering. Now, when I say an ICE battery,
It does not hold electricity. It literally just makes ice. And then that ice, so it makes the ice at night when the electricity is cheap. And then it uses the ice during the day to cool your home if you have AC. So it's the sort of idea where I said to myself, we didn't have that before.
Nobody, until now, nobody thought about using cheap electricity to make blobs of ice that would cool the building. Yeah, it's weird. All right. Well, we have it now. ABC has a story that I call Orphan Persuasion. I want you to see if this is a real news story or it's obviously propaganda against Trump. Real or propaganda?
All right, so the story is, according to ABC News, the Trump administration's cuts to foreign aid have resulted in children in Ugandan orphanages losing access to medication, according to local workers. Now, is that a real story? Well, it might be real, but what's left out? Do we have some kind of special obligation to Ugandan orphans?
Because it seems to me if you looked all over the world, you would find suffering people that were doing even worse than the Ugandan orphans. Do we owe all of them medication? You cannot evaluate whether this is a horrible thing or a good thing. unless you know the context. Did they cut 1% from their total charity budget? I don't know.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the ice battery program?
I want to see how much does this latest spending package add to the deficit or subtract? Now, you might say to yourself, well, Scott, that's not very hard. Obviously, the CBO or whoever else has scored it. So, you know, it's not like nobody's looking into it. So somebody has that number, right? And our press would be reporting on that number.
Now, would you agree with the fact that you generally understand that it has a lot of mega Trump things in it that you like? And that part, you don't have to argue about too much if you're a Trump supporter. But don't you want to know the impact on the deficit? You kind of need to know that, don't you? So let me give you a little taste of why you don't know that. And I don't either, by the way.
I have no idea. So it comes as a sort of a package deal. All right, let me get back to that because I've got a piece that fits into it perfectly. So you're looking for the one number.
Chapter 5: Is ABC News reporting propaganda regarding Trump?
um and russ vote according to the hill now russ is uh he's a budget guy right i don't know his official job but everybody has a high opinion of russ's vote and his you know budget work but uh here's what he said well here's what the hill said So this is your press trying to inform you whether the bill is adding to or subtracting from the deficit. And I swear I'm not making this up.
I'm going to read the exact words because otherwise you think, you just made that up. There's no way that's true. But here's what it says, according to The Hill. President Trump's tariffs will take a major bite of U.S. deficit levels. Oh.
okay well that's pretty good and russ vote also said the same thing so so i'm like okay russ said it would reduce the deficit we don't know how much yet um and the hill says it will reduce the deficit so far so good is there a number yes 2.5 trillion dollars over the next decade now i'd like to see that over three years um because it's less crazy, but we're really close. We're really close.
Now, having read that, what Russ Vogt said and what the Hill said, I'm going to read you the next paragraph that's also in the Hill and the same story. You ready for this?
um and this is from the cbo the deficit reduction is almost remember 2.5 trillion dollars deficit reduction it says the definite the deficit reduction is almost exactly the same size as the deficit addition wait what what there's a deficit reduction but there's also a deficit addition? Who in the world doesn't net those two things out and just tell you what the bottom line is?
So if you didn't read that far, you would not know that the CBO found that the bill would add $2.4 trillion to deficits through 2034. So does it add to the deficit? Or does it subtract? And how many of you knew that when you're talking about the deficit, there are additions to it and there are subtractions from it and they track them separately? How many of you knew that? I didn't know it.
This is the most absurd thing. It's absolutely crazy. Anyway.

Chapter 6: Could Elon Musk influence election results?
they're just not really big enough you know you can look at cutting things you know like social services but nobody's going to say yes to that so if you were going to try some you know clever work around that wasn't about cutting uh the energy market's the only one now i wouldn't just tax it because that would be you know bad for business
But I'll bet there is some way to monetize it, either the nuclear stuff or geothermal or something. Don't you think we could prop up a government-slash-private industry that made $100 billion a year in energy profits? Probably. Again, that wouldn't be nearly enough, but maybe you could grow it from there.
Well, the Proud Boys have a lawsuit related to their arrest on January 6th, what is called the Capitol Riot by some people. And they're claiming a wrongful prosecution. And that's sparking debates, of course, about the fact that they got pardoned. I'll bet they have a case. without knowing anything about their case? I'll bet they do. Because the Proud Boys are not idiots.
So they're not just going to start some lawsuit that's ridiculous. I've got a feeling the Proud Boys might have the last laugh here. So we'll see. Rahm Emanuel, Democrat. I was looking at his messaging skills. So here's an example. He was talking to White House Bureau Chief Dasher Burns. And, you know, I think he was asked, what should Democrats do differently?
You know, what they're all being asked. And he said, Democrats should, quote, stop talking about bathrooms and locker rooms and start talking about the classroom. All right. Is that good? Do you think that's good persuasion? No. It's not good persuasion. It's just sort of a rhymey, kind of catchy thing. It's not going to make you act in any specific different way.
And this is what I see Cory Booker and a lot of the Democrats do. You could probably come up with like 10 different Democrats who come up with rhymes
so they're thinking all right we're getting our ass kicked on this policy stuff what should we do well have we tried rhyming or have we tried being clever with words oh no we don't need the bathrooms or the locker rooms we need to talk about the classrooms that is so weak and empty that you can't imagine Trump ever saying it, can you?
Have you ever heard Trump say something as lame as bathrooms and locker rooms, but we should be talking about classrooms? He's never said anything that lame in his entire life. So what Trump knows is that what makes these things powerful, his messaging, is if he's provocative. So, where Rahm is going for a clever wordplay, like an LLM, you know, AI, Trump goes for the jugular.
He doesn't do the wordplay. He tells you if you don't do this, criminals will come across the border and slay your family. Which one of those are you going to remember? Oh, don't talk about the bathrooms and locker rooms. Talk about the classroom. Versus Trendy Aragua is going to come across the border and slay your entire family. There's no comparison.

Chapter 7: What do recent polls say about Trump's approval ratings?
um rebecca underwood she said there is something different about class of 2023 um for the kids between five and six years old they're physically more cautious and uh then this this quote caught my eye quote many kids are not able to roll not able to jump on two feet They were very hesitant to climb. And I thought to myself, really? We have six-year-olds who cannot be taught to jump on both feet?
Really? That's way worse than I imagined it would be. But I don't believe it. I think if she did a bigger study, this is just anecdotal. So I think she might have some weird kids in her class. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, that's all I have for today. So Sunday, it's time for you all to go do your Sunday things. I'm going to say hi to the people on Locals privately.
But the rest of you, I'll see you Tomorrow, same time, same place. I hope you like that the shows are a little bit shorter. I'd hate for you to be hating that. But sometimes there's just not that much to say.
