Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello? Do you hear this music? Well, that is Kira the Don working on his new album based on me. So what he does, if you haven't heard it, it's pretty amazing. He takes podcasters or notable people and he takes their voice and he puts it to music and beats and video. And next thing you know, you've got this amazing piece of art. that people have been telling me is not like other art.
So it's not just like music. It's not just like video music. It apparently fills some kind of slot you didn't know needed to be filled. So that'll be, apparently that'll be available around Christmas. And I'll remind you when that happens. I will remind you Don't worry. You will be reminded. 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 on elevating this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is A copper mugger, a glass, a tanker, a chalice, a steiner, a canteen, a jug, a 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. Happens now. Go. Mmm. Mmm. Rah. Yep. That's the noise I make when I drink coffee. I don't apologize for it. Well, we got quite a show today. I'll be making you smarter. Come on. I should be seeing those comments right now. There they are. I gotcha.
I got your comments right there. All right, let's move that over there. My God, this is good. So good. All right, people. Whoa, stop it. So I saw Joshua Lysak did a post on asking people if they think that YouTube has suppressed my content. How many of you think YouTube, specifically, has suppressed my content? Is that possible?
Well, all we know for sure is what Joshua pointed out, that for reasons that are hard to understand, I seem to get about 25,000 viewers every day no matter what I'm doing. What are the odds of that? Every day? 25,000? Roughly? No, it doesn't look real, but stranger things have happened. So I wouldn't accuse them of anything because I can't prove it.
But it would be pretty weird if I had the same number of viewers for 10 years at the same time that my number of subscribers went up by 100. So the people who voluntarily said, hey, I'll click that because I want to see more of your stuff, that's like over 100,000.
you know started at a thousand and yet the total number of traffic total traffic numbers about the same speaking of numbers there's some new uh employment numbers that people are liking so we'll see what that does the stock market today uh i guess unemployment edged up a little bit
which means that there's a slightly greater chance that the Fed will lower interest rates, which is good for the stock market too. So probably this is all good news. We don't know how much of it is real. How much are you going to believe about employment numbers? It's a problem, right?

Chapter 2: What new insights does Trump provide about the Epstein files?
It's sort of the old way of doing it. But the new way of influencing a country is to be their AI provider. Because once you're the AI provider, you get to have a say on what's true and what's not true. And what can be more powerful than that? Controlling what's true. And how in the world do the Saudis
get AI or any AI, how did they get X AI to not do things that would be inappropriate in their particular country and culture? But those conversations are interesting. Would you like to have an AI? Yes, we would. Would you like to buy our Grok or lease it? Yes, we would. Is there anything we should change? Well, I got a little bit of a list of things you might want to look at.
Or, and this is possible, does Musk say to Saudi Arabia, you know what, this whole thing would be useless unless you let it be completely free, you know, free speech, free. And could it be that even Saudi Arabia would say, you know what, this is not historically how we operated. But it's the AI. It's the age of AI. It's the golden age. Maybe.
Maybe they'll embrace free speech and accurate information. One of the things I love about listening to Elon Musk explain stuff is that he can explain technical things that you always wondered about, but he can explain them in a way you actually understand them. And he did that again. with creating electricity, energy in particular, in space. Now you've heard of this before, right?
That you could put a solar panel in space and it would automatically have a few advantages. One is that you would not need to pay to cool it because the temperature of space is nothing. So it's self-cooling.
secondly you don't have to worry about a cloudy day because it's in space and it's above the clouds and thirdly you don't have to wonder you don't have to worry about it being night time and there being no sun you can just put your satellite slash solar panel where the sun is always has access to so the potential energy as elon explains potential energy of space
is phenomenally more than all you could do on Earth if you did everything right as fast as you could. Now, those are my words, but I think that's pretty close. Did you know that? And if you look to the next five years, this is Elon again, the odds of our energy coming mostly from the land, the Earth, is actually really small. And the odds that we'll get
not only the vast majority of their electricity from space by then, but that for forever more, that will be where it comes from. Like it'll never be from anywhere else because the economics will be so compelling that nobody would do it any other way. Now, a big part of this, as you know, is that it costs a lot to put a satellite into space.
But that's what Elon's been working on for the last, what, 10 years? 20 years. So he's got the reusable rockets now. So at this point, the cost of putting a solar panel in space goes from, you know, a thousand times more than it was to whatever it is now and dropping. So it's going to be relatively easy and cheap to put stuff in space. It will have all these advantages over terrestrial stuff.

Chapter 3: How does the recent economy distrust poll affect public perception?
And of course there will be ongoing investigations, as there might be, into at least three Democrats. So we'll see how that goes. All right. And I wonder, makes me wonder, how many of the people who voted to release the Epstein files, here I'm talking about Congress, how many of the Congress critters
believe that even if they had all voted to release it, and even if the president signed it, how many of them believe that they really would have secrets coming out? Because if I were in Congress, I'll tell you what I would think by now. By now, I would think that all the good stuff's been removed. So you're not going to see anything big and surprising.
So I'd say to myself, well, I might as well look as if, I might as well appear as if, I want more full disclosure than anybody else because there's nothing that's going to happen. It'll either be state secrets or it'll be some damn thing. Somebody will say they lost it. Somebody will say that's the missing box. We've got a missing box.
But what I would not expect is that I would vote to release it and then a bunch of stuff would get released. And then it would have, you know, significance. Well, I don't think so, but what if, what if this is just for fun? Cause you have seen stuff, you know, it's as much about entertainment as it is, you know, seeking justice.
Uh, what if all the people who said yes to release it thought they were not releasing it? Because in other words, they, they thought something would stop the good stuff no matter what. Are they just waking up to the fact that they just voted to release it and it's actually going to get released? Will it? I don't know. I still don't believe that it will all be released.
That seems ridiculous to me. But maybe. Who knows? Then Trump, of course, he immediately signed it. Here's what I love, that Trump, Trump has found a way to shake the box, as he does, and then shake it some more and shake it some more until he's the last person standing. Because one of the things about Trump is that he can handle chaos better than everybody.
So if you put a Trump and then all the other players into this big box, you say, I don't know what's going to happen, but watch this. And you just start shaking that thing. And when you're done, everybody's like wandering around like a bunch of drones. So like, whoa, what was that? But if you keep doing it day after day after day,
The only person who will be left alive is Trump because he can just handle more chaos. He uses it as basically a beacon to shine on anything he wants. So when you see Trump say stuff like, no, let's not release it. Okay, let's release it. Maybe not release it. Let's release some of it. Let's have somebody release it. As long as he's shaking that box, he's winning.
And I've told you this a million times. It's not like the one time I've said he shakes the box. As long as he's creating uncertainty and chaos in this little domain that doesn't affect most people, frankly, he's heading toward dominating the whole domain.

Chapter 4: What role does AI play in Saudi Arabia's technological advancements?
No one's above the law. So we'll see how that goes. But at the very least, Trump has ruined the rest of the year for the Clintons. And I think we should start keeping score of how many people's lives will be ruined by Epstein. Like Epstein, the Epstein victim list is still growing because we just added Clinton to it. Now you can say Clinton's a perpetrator, but that would be your opinion.
But whether he's a perpetrator or not, he's having a bad year. So if you just start throwing on the list all the people whose lives are going to not look so good, whether they deserve it or not, separate question. But then we also hear that Larry Summers, he confessed to his class that he was on the Epstein list. And apparently he has resigned from the open AI board. It looks like he is, um,
He opened his class at Harvard by acknowledging he was on it, but is he still teaching? Now, Harvard has launched an investigation into Larry Summers. Apparently, Epstein coached Summers on a romance in 2018. Summers was married at the time. And the men exchanged a trove of messages. Where did I get this from? Colin Rugg had a good summary of this on X. So apparently they had a lot of messages.
So these two were really good friends. So is Trump smart by throwing Larry Summers under the bus? Probably. Because it looks like Summers had a lot of interaction. So now let's add Larry Summers to the victim list. Again, I understand completely if you say, no, Scott, he's that other list.
Well, I don't have any evidence he broke any laws, but I can see for sure there's plenty of evidence that he's having a bad year because of Trump, because of Epstein. And by the way, none of this needed to happen. Don't you think that Trump warned everybody? It's not like he didn't warn everybody. And it's not like he didn't give them an out. He gave them an out. They could have.
essentially just said, let's go on, everybody, no harm, no foul. You know, your team won't be attacked, my team. They could have worked it out somehow. I mean, you might not have liked it, but they could have. But now those two are victims. Let's see who else. All right, we'll get back to that in a minute. So apparently Trump is going to meet with Joran Mamdami in the Oval Office on Friday.
And Trump is teasing him because apparently his middle name is Kwame, K-W-A-M-E. That's so Trumpian to emphasize his middle name so that you remember he doesn't have an American sounding name. Now, he doesn't say that that's a crime or that you should like him less or that he's less qualified because his middle name is Kwame. He just makes you think about it. Which is really a dirty trick.
I can't say I endorse that method of persuasion, but you can't argue it doesn't work. It totally works if it just takes your head to a place where you're like, I don't know, he doesn't seem that American to me, even though he's obviously American. Anyway, so he'll be meeting with Trump. What do you think Trump's going to get out of this? Why would Trump meet with Zoran?
Now, they have a lot that they need to work on, so there might be a few things he wants to coordinate with him. But don't you think Trump wants Zoran to fail? So if somebody comes into your office and you want them to fail and they want to succeed, what exactly is the middle ground? There might not be any middle ground. How in the world do they work anything out? Well, we'll see.

Chapter 5: How is Elon Musk's vision for space electricity generation shaping the future?
We call it murder. So that would mean that that side's in favor of murder. Now, if you didn't know that the entire right, well, not the entire right, but most of the right considers abortion murder. and that that's the first thing they think of in this domain, well, you'd be a little confused by that language, wouldn't you? It would seem extreme. It would seem extreme.
But there are other examples. We could go through the news and we could argue, well, that seems a little too friendly to murder. For example, is it the left or the right who is more likely to let somebody out of jail before they've served a full sentence? Which one would more likely do it? The left, probably.
And would that create more murders than if they didn't release these people who may have done some bad things already? Of course it would create more murders. So you can make these arguments, and I'm not making the argument, by the way, but you can make the argument pretty easily that one side is the party of murder. But in any case, does that seem like a call to actual violence to you?
Or is it just if you're used to that style of talking, it's just talking? I mean, there's a serious point he's making, which is he's being opposed to violence, right? Now, do you see Elon Musk saying the left is the party of murder? Is that encouraging violence or is that speaking out against violence? Because, you know, I live in this country. I speak English.
I don't see it as encouraging violence. I see it as more of a warning that if we keep going this direction, you'll get more violence than you want. Everybody will. Not one side. He's not saying that the violence will be in one direction, although there might be some initiating thing going on there. But no, this is just talk. And I've made this point before.
If you live in a different bubble, the things that are just talk in the other bubble are called the violence in your bubble. but it looks weird from the other bubble. But that's not the only thing. So not long after he said the left is a party to murder, he said, if they won't leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die. Does that sound like a call to violence?
If they won't leave us in peace, then our choice is to fight or die. Well, here again, it depends what bubble you're in. If you're in the left bubble, and you're not accustomed to people routinely trotting out the phrase, give me liberty or give me death, or I'd rather be dead than not have free speech, you might not know that the political right just sort of talks this way. They talk that way.
And I'll even put myself in that category for this topic. I talk that way. And I don't apologize for it at all. You know, the country was founded on a certain amount of force, and the entire idea was that we'd rather have liberty than life. So to me, when I hear somebody say, if they won't leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die, that's really just a statement of the obvious, right?
If somebody is going to, you know, continuously torture you in whatever way, you know, it doesn't matter the way, If there's somebody who's gonna continually be your problem and you decide not to do anything about it, well, do you think you'll get more of it or less? You'll get more of it, yeah, if you don't do anything about it. So that's just a statement of the obvious.

Chapter 6: What implications arise from the Meta antitrust case dismissal?
Well, the only way you can get a deal when the situation is impossible is you get people to agree to things that they don't agree to, which is what he did with Gaza. But maybe he can do it with this. Can he get Israel and Saudi Arabia and maybe half a dozen other countries
Can you get them to agree to something that they definitely don't agree to, but then they get a little bit pregnant because they're already celebrating that they made some kind of agreement, even though they haven't agreed to it? And even if they said, no, no, we don't really agree to everything you're saying. We still need to negotiate this two-state thing.
And then suddenly the ship is just moving and it's too hard to move it back. if that's what Trump is doing and he's doing it intentionally, he's just inventing a whole new way to solve problems. Something we've never seen before. Now I'd have to see him do it more than once before I'd conclude it's any kind of an intentional thing.
Uh, but he seems to be tapping on the door of doing it a second time. We'll see. Anyway, um, China is allegedly, according to Natural News, Kevin Hughes is writing about this, China has some kind of a technical breakthrough in a space-based particle beam weapon that they could just park up in the atmosphere, not outside the atmosphere, and blast away at everything.
Now, I already told you that the space might be the cheap way to get unlimited energy? Well, suppose you needed unlimited energy because you had developed a, let's say a network of particle beam weapons that require enormous amounts of electricity. Well, here again, you're in luck because if you can only get that enormous amount of electricity from space and enormous solar panels,
Is China going to be able to park literally a bunch of particle beam weapons that are just sort of pointed at us? And they could go from space to the ground in, I don't know, how long would it take? Five seconds? You know, even at the speed of light? Or faster, right? Faster than five seconds? I'm not quite sure. But how in the world would you defend against that?
I mean, you would have to attack it preemptively. And if you missed even one node, it could just sit up there all day long creating infinite energy and just destroying everything in your entire nation. You know, right? If you tried to send a rocket up to knock it down, the particle beam would knock the rocket down first. I don't know. We're in all new territory here.
But I also don't believe stories about any country with an advanced particle beam weapon. I feel like if we know about it, it can't be true. Wouldn't you say? It can't be their best secret weapon if we know about it. So you have to basically take whatever it is you think you know and then make some assumptions about how good the real stuff is. And it's going to be real good. All right.
Did you know that most Americans believe that migrant farm workers should be allowed to remain in the USA? That's according to Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. You disagree. I know. But 65% of adults support establishing some kind of program where the people who pick our food can be happy and will be happy too. I don't know what that looks like.
