Chapter 1: What are the latest opinions on Trump and humor in politics?
Make sure you get a seat up front. It is really good to see you again. Do you think I need a set designer? Or do you like a sloppy blanket and a roll of paper towels as your background set? At least it's sort of glowing green, so it's not like I didn't put any thought into it at all. All right, I'm going to check on your stocks. They're not doing much. You're just sort of sitting there.
Just sort of sitting there. All right, let me make sure that I've got all of the valuable comments highly visible in my new setup that I improved upon this morning. So with any luck, I will be able to see in living color all of your... Oh, perfect. No. Did you really disappear? Stay right there. Boom. 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 a chance of elevating your experience up to levels that no one 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 a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a 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. Exquisite. Divine. Beyond compare. Well, it looks like it's time for the morning reframe. You love it. You love to get reframed.
Well, it's from my book, Reframe Your Brain, the best reviewed book I've ever written, which I wasn't expecting, actually. But people loved it, and that was awesome. How about this one? You've heard this one before, but it works so well and you need it so often that I'm going to give it to you again. You ready?
So a common way to look at the world, the usual frame would be that history is important. I mean, it's how we got here. It explains who gets what. History is pretty important. Wouldn't you agree? And if you don't understand history, you might repeat it in the worst possible way. Yep, history is important. That's the usual frame. But here's a reframe.

Chapter 2: How does gut health relate to mental health issues?
History doesn't exist. History doesn't exist. Well, give me a handful. Grab some history. Here you go. Here's some history. Where is it? History is entirely in your mind. If you don't want it to bother you, it doesn't need to because it doesn't exist. You create the history in your mind and then you use it as a spear to poke yourself or a way to torture yourself.
And I'm not even talking about like the history of nations. I mean, you could go into a whole different conversation about whether you and I should care about what was happening in the Middle East 3,000 years ago. Maybe we don't care. If the people who live there care, I mean, that's up to them. But you and I don't have to even pay attention to the fact that any history ever happened.
Because to us, it doesn't exist at the moment. Now, it's far more useful when you're using this reframe in your personal life. In your personal life, How many of you have done something that gives you shame, which is a complete waste of time, feeling shame?
One of the best ways to make shame go away, or any kind of whatever you would call your personal failure, is to just remind yourself that it doesn't exist. History doesn't exist. You couldn't find some history and put it in a little bag and give it to somebody because there is none. So if you're being tortured by history, well, I just reframed it away.
For some percentage of you, it won't be a big percentage, but for some percentage of you, a few of you probably, are going to message me later and say, I can't believe it, but there's this thing that's been bothering me my whole life. You just made it go away by telling me that history doesn't exist.
And the moment I realized that that was absolutely true, there's nothing really to debate on that. The actual problem went away. And there you go. All right, that's your reframe for the day. How many of you saw the Northern Lights? Apparently there was quite a show last night. It did not extend down to my
Little neighborhood in California, but for those of you in the northern part of the country and the world, did you get kind of a light show last night? Apparently, it's going to be better tonight. So I can't imagine what would be better than like going outside and seeing this Aurora Borealis, like this natural wonder. That's like the best thing that I've ever had.
I mean, what could really be better than that? Oh, here's something that's better. It's the 2026 Dilbert calendar, which is now available at the Amazon store. But only the USA Amazon, you know, the one you use if you're in America. That's the only place you can get it.
not available in stores only in amazon more beautiful than the aurora borealis i know that seems like an over claim but wait till you see it you'll agree all right uh we have a little uh fact check remember the if you're following into the drama on the right side of the news.

Chapter 3: What is Apple's current strategy in the AI landscape?
So now we have the final word. Yeah, it never happened. I don't know what Ben saw or believes he saw or maybe he just interpreted something differently than other people. But in case you want to know factually, there's no evidence that Candace did that. She has, I believe, and I think I'm accurate in saying this, but I want to be very careful.
I don't want to mischaracterize anybody's opinion, which would be easy in this case. I believe Candace does have some questions about Turning Point USA, one or more persons who may have been doing things that sort of didn't add up. And maybe that mattered.
But that's a far cry from saying that either that person or persons or any other person was involved in planning and executing a tragic murder. So, moving on. That's your drama corner. I don't think the right side of the world does the drama as well as the left. The dramacrats really have an advantage in that thing. All right, here's one piece of science.
According to SciPost, Karina Petrova is writing that shared gut microbe imbalances So if you have an imbalance in your gut microbes, that it might be a same kind of imbalance for people who have autism, ADHD, and anorexia nervosa, which would suggest that your gut at least one thing it suggests, is that your gut changes your brain or influences your brain.
Now, I suppose it could work the other way, right? It's not obvious how it could, but you have to ask yourself, is it possible that if the brain is doing a certain thing, let's say one of these imbalances, that it causes your gut also to be imbalanced in some certain specific way?
Maybe, but doesn't seem more likely that the gut imbalance would lead to some variety of brain imperfections temporarily or permanently. Anyway, as I often say, this little reframe, your body is your brain. If you want your brain to be working the best it can, you have to take care of your body. That's diet and exercise, people. Do you remember...
that I was critical and lots of people were critical of Apple for being so slow with AI. And you thought to yourself, oh my God. Well, maybe you didn't think it, but I said it out loud as if I knew something. And I thought, oh my God, Apple could actually be at risk of just completely going out of business or being cut down to size. If AI is the thing in the future, like just the thing,
And if Apple doesn't embrace it or lead in it or buy a company, it's going to miss out on the thing. And maybe there's no way to catch up. Well, as of today, the opinions seem to be turning toward Apple, meaning that NVIDIA just went down because SoftBank sold all of their stock.
But to be fair, SoftBank is putting it back into AI, just a different form, putting it back into open AI and building data centers, I guess. So they're still all in AI. But the thinking is, from the smart people, that Apple might have been the most clever player in the entire tech industry. And by clever, I mean they never bought the hype.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of inadequate security during protests?
And then things are getting even weirder. There's somebody named Mahoney who is some kind of a expert. What kind of expert is he? He's a Wall Street-y guy. What's his name? Oh, Ken Mahoney, CEO of Mahoney Asset Management. And what he says is that Walmart might be one of the big beneficiaries of AI. So now people are saying, hey,
We should, instead of putting our money in the AI companies, maybe now the smart money will go into the businesses or just normal businesses like Walmart, but they can lower their costs with AI. And there is some thought that's already happening at Walmart. I don't know if that's already happening. But remember, all of the Dilberty big companies are going to claim
especially if they put billions of dollars into AI. They're going to claim that that's why they can lower costs, even if all they're doing is firing people. So it'll be a long time before we know it's real, but we can tell what the claims will be. The claims will be that it saved them money and it's a good thing they put $100 billion into it.
And so what they're saying, this is an axios, that 2026, this coming year, maybe the year of investing in companies benefiting from all this AI, or putting your money into companies like Apple that knew they shouldn't waste their money, at least too much of it on AI. We'll see. Do you know the No Kings group, the ones that organize the No Kings protests around the country?
Well, apparently that group, Indivisible, is what they're called, Indivisible, said they're only going to support Democratic Senate candidates. They called the council Chuck Schumer. So Chuck Schumer is going to have the worst week anybody ever had. Obviously, the activist group Indivisible is pretty baked into the power structure of the Democrats.
So having them come against Schumer is probably a big deal. But there's something about Schumer that bothers me whenever I see him. And I'm wondering if you've ever noticed, which is that no matter what the topic is, he seems too happy about it.
Like he looks like somebody who's putting on a play for the neighbors, but his part is maybe sometimes the bad guy or the bearer of bad news or death or something. But because he's just doing a play for his neighbors, he can't get the smile off his face. So this is my impression of Chuck Schumer telling you he found a mass grave in his own backyard. And there was a mass grave.
We just were putting in a septic tank. And I'll tell you, I saw a lake. And we kept digging, and it was a mass grave. It was a mass grave. Must have been hundreds of people in the mass grave. And am I wrong that he looks too happy? When he says stuff like, oh, we have the advantage now. You know, children are starving. That's exactly what we'd hope for. I'm Chuck Schumer. All right.
According to Harry Enten, Chuck Schumer is now the most unpopular Senate Democratic leader on record, going back to, I guess, going back to 1985 anyway. So he's even underwater with Democrats. Even Democrats dislike him more than they like him. So let me break this down. I hate to give the Democrats advice, be it accidental, but I'm going to give you some persuasion lessons here.

Chapter 5: How is the Ukraine war influencing drone technology?
So if you got what you wanted, you wouldn't want what you got, would you? So the reason that they say we want a fighter is is because you can't really measure the output of the fighter. If I say I want a good health care plan where premiums do not cost more, then I would be able to measure whether I did that or not. At some point, you'd be able to measure it.
But if I say I want a fighter, how do you measure that you got one? Would it be that person swore more than normal in public? That's part of what they think it must be because they're doing it. Would it be that you simply wouldn't vote for things such as a continuing resolution until people suffered because that would make it look like you're fighting?
So when you look at the fighting, you have to think of that in terms of theatrics. Because the fighting thing is now something that doesn't have a deliverable. There's no deliverable. So in order to claim that you fought, you've got to have video clips of you looking like a fighter.
So if you're Jasmine Crockett, for example, she's doing the best that any of the other Democrats are doing because she's creating unlimited viral clips online. of someone who looks like a theatrical fighter girl. Oh, I'm fighting. Look at these words I'm using. Look at me fighting. Tomorrow there's going to be another video clip of me fighting just like this.
Deliverables, I don't even know what you're talking about. Policies, never heard of them. Fight, fight, fight. You got to fight, fight, fight. And whoever does the best acting job of being a fighter, will be the standard bearer for the Democrats, probably. They're so not on the right page. The right page is not to do a theatrical rendition of a play that you call The Fighter.
That's not what anybody's asking for. They actually want some health care, a budget that makes sense and doesn't break the bank, like to protect that border, get the crime down. Yeah, you know, it's another thing that I hate is when somebody chews up airtime like I just did, listing the things that you could have listed yourself. How much do you hate that?
You'll be watching the show and somebody will go, I think the Democrats, they need to work on health care. And then you're like, don't list all the things that they need to work on. Got to work on the crime. Seriously, just shut the fuck up. We know what the list is. Got to make sure the border is secure. Stop it. Stop it. You're wasting my time. That's what kind of a day it is.
I would also say that whoever came up with that fighter thing, I don't know if that's a professional. That may have grown organically. But I'll tell you what does look like professional work is you may have seen Hakeem Jay's little video in which he said that the entire Republican power structure is corrupt. And then he went through and he was asked about that.
And he said that the Republican Congress is corrupt, the president is corrupt, and that he said the Supreme Court is corrupt. But what he really meant was, when asked about it, is that Justice Thomas and Alito, in his opinion, crossed some kind of ethical boundary by force.

Chapter 6: What new insights are emerging about climate models and plankton?
Oh, tax policy. Oh, that's about his cronies. Oh, the Supreme Court, we need to pack it. That's the reason we need to pack it with 13 because otherwise they'll be corrupt and they'll be taking vacations with their friends and everything. I mean, it was a slippery slope situation. If you let Justice Thomas take a vacation with one of his best friends,
And his best friend helps pay for it because he happens to be a billionaire. If you let that happen, where is it going to end up? Well, obviously, they're going to take two vacations per year. Start with one. You're like, test the water. Next thing you know, two vacations.
Now, the Republic might survive a Supreme Court member, a justice, taking one vacation with his friend per year, but people, how would we ever survive if he took two? And do you realize how quickly it could go from one to two? That's only one more than two. This is a real danger, and I think Hakeem Jeffries needs to warn us about it some more. There's gonna be some corruption, some corruption.
You know, I have this bad habit of casting people in movies that don't exist. And whenever I see Hakeem, I want him to play the part of death in a movie. You know, death always wears the black robe and has the whatever that thing is for cutting grass. Scythe? Scythe? Sith? Sith? Scythe? Because you can imagine death walking into the room in this movie.
And the face is entirely concealed by the shadows. Notice how I avoided saying black so it didn't sound racist. And then he takes down the hood and it's Hakeem. You're like, ah! Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper. He would be the best Grim Reaper ever. All right, well, as you know, Turning Point USA had an event in Berkeley, UC Berkeley,
And there was some dusting up and some people got roughed up and there was a little bit of violence, way too much. I don't want to minimize it. But now there's going to be a Department of Justice investigation into the failures of security. And the theory is that if you don't treat this one as just some random bad day that some protesters showed up and you wish they hadn't,
but rather it looks like it might be part of the pattern. And the pattern is that when the left wants to censor the right, they simply don't give enough security where they know security is warranted. Do you think that's a real thing? Do you think that people on the left actually think that through? Not necessarily coordinated, but maybe sort of all on the same page.
Do you think that they intentionally Give inadequate security so that if somebody goes and talks, they can say, well, we told you. We told you it was going to be a mess. We can't let them speak. Look what happened at Berkeley. There's no way we can afford all the security it would take to avoid what happened in Berkeley. All right, you're almost, you're all unanimous.
You all believe, looks like you all believe that that's intentional. You know, I think I'm on your side on this. I wouldn't say that there's a smoking, smoking gun, but you can smell it before you can see the smoke. That's sort of where I am. I can smell it. I don't see the smoke. So I'll say we're short of something that I would call proof. But boy, you can smell it.

Chapter 7: How are H-1B visas impacting the job market in specialized fields?
Apparently the White House is responding to some complaints that I talked about, which is that a lot of stock, um, a lot of companies that have public stock have these proxy entities that go and get the, essentially they're the ones that cast the vote on behalf of lots of stockholders, which gives them a lot of control over companies.
And it's not really the kind of control you'd want them to have over companies because it doesn't help their profitability. They might be looking for some woke stuff to happen. basically it's a distortion of the free market.
And without getting into too much of the boring details of how that works, essentially there are a few entities like ISS, that's a company, and index fund giants such as BlackRock. And I think there was a, I think there's another famous one that should be mentioned there. I don't know which one, but they know, they knew it is.
And the complaints are coming from people like Elon Musk and Jamie Dimon. You know, the, most important banker and the most important technologist, engineer, entrepreneur in the world. So they're on the same page, which is you need to get rid of this proxy voting stuff. And apparently the White House has opened up some kind of a project to look into it. You say Fidelity? Fidelity State Street?
Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't want to throw out names because I don't know. well how many of you saw the video of the Russian humanoid robot I thought it was fake So the video shows the Russians introducing on stage something you think you've seen lots of times in America, which is, hey, this is our new humanoid robot, and it's going to dance or something.
So the humanoid robot stumbles forward, and it walks like Joe Biden on a bad day through tall grass. And then it just falls on its face and can't get up. And that's the Russian humanoid robot. Now, I thought it was a joke because the way it walked was so much like Joe Biden that I didn't think that could be a coincidence.
It looked like they were either mocking him or it was AI or something, the Biden bot. So I waited on it. My first reaction was I did repost it, but then I undid my repost because I was not confident that could have been real. How in the world was that real? All right, so go find that on social media. I'm sure you can just do a normal internet search and look for Russian humanoid robot.
You're gonna laugh so hard when you see that robot. You're also gonna think that Ukraine is gonna win the war when you see their best technology. It's pretty funny. Anyway, also in the AI world, Variety is reporting that Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine, both of them, they're teaming with an AI audio company called Eleven Labs. Eleven Labs is the one that does
really accurate voices and faces and they're gonna um it looks like they're licensing their voices is how i would interpret this so you'll be able to use 11 lamps to reproduce either of their voices now here's why i think that's smart don't you think at some point A lot of other people are going to be doing this. So whoever goes first is just going to get all the goodness.

Chapter 8: What are the allegations surrounding the Clinton Foundation?
But if you catch it giving you a fake reference or something, speak up and we'll correct it. You don't think that if you had two AIs running at the same time, the odds of both of them saying that this fake reference is real would drop to almost zero, wouldn't it? And it would cost you nothing but the subscription to the second service? Am I wrong about that?
And is that something that people don't want to talk about just because, for competitive reasons or something? You run Grok and Gemini side by side. But tell me why that wouldn't work.
Now on day one, maybe one doesn't hear the other one well or something, but you could easily hook them up so that their audio connection was flawless, so there's not even any outside room noise to bother one, right? I'm looking at your comments and I don't see anybody saying, Scott, you idiot, that would never work. Because it would sort of obviously work, wouldn't it? I don't know.
Maybe there would be cases where the second one refused to do what you told it to. And it would just say stuff like, I cannot correct my fellow AI. I don't know. Well, I know you hate to admit it, but I just solved AI. All right, what else is happening? According to just the news, Bondi and Kash Patel are going to look into the Clinton Foundation.
under allegations that foreign entities and some domestic actors influenced the policy of the government back in those Clinton Foundation days. Now, the weird part about that is that what else was the foundation for? At this point, don't we understand that it was only for corrupt reasons and that whatever good they did was just the cover for the corruption? Don't we all know that?
But there's this weird thing about time and about how the media works. If the media doesn't tell you, and here the media in this context would be the New York Times, the Washington Post, the left-leaning media. If the left-leaning media doesn't say this is a story, It just won't be. It just won't be a story. So it doesn't matter how much Just the News reports on it.
It doesn't matter how much I mention it on my podcast. It just won't be a story. But how hard do you think it would be to find out if the Clinton Foundation was corrupt and accepting money to influence policy? Do you think that would be hard to find out? I have a suspicion that
that the FBI or somebody looked into it enough, because they would want to have leverage over the Clintons, obviously, anybody would, that they looked into it enough that probably we already have like really specific, you know, hidden phone calls and stuff. So anything could happen. But if I had to put a bet on it, nothing will happen. Let's do an instant poll.
How many of you think the Clinton Foundation, despite the fact that 100% of you think it was corrupt, because of course you do, how many of you think there'll be any arrests or indictments of, let's say, the Clintons, specifically the Clintons? How many think that? It feels like zero, right? So you have this weird situation where
