Chapter 1: What makes Scott Adams' show memorable?
I'm not late. You're late. Why am I too lit on one side? I'm totally lit. Hold on. A little less. There we go. A little less lit today. All right, here's what we're going to do. Since I'm at least a minute late, I thought I had my studio all set up. But turns out I hadn't started. I was having fun chatting with the local subscribers. And at the time, I didn't feel like I needed anything else.
All my needs had been complete. But I'm going to give you a show today that you're likely to remember for the rest of your life. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. There we go. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and it's the best thing that ever happened to you, period.
But if you'd like to take a chance on raising or elevating this experience to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is, don't you wonder, All you need is a copper mug or a glass of tanker, chalice or 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, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Well, gas prices are projected to go down a little bit by Thanksgiving, and then the Trump administration will get to brag about their Thanksgiving gas prices. So gas will be heading down.
Speaking of gas heading down, Eric Swalwell has announced he's going to run for governor of California. Well... California needs some extra gas. And I don't think anybody has more of it than he does, if you know what I mean. So Eric Swalwell will be teaching us that you can do literally everything wrong for years and be a frontrunner in the Democratic Party for anything, really.
Governor, senator. Why, you want to run for president? Sure. I don't see why not. It's not like you've done anything wrong. such as lying to the American people about the most important things in the history of the republic. But none of that is disqualifying. I mean, come on. We're a big tent, the Democrats say. We're a big, big tent. You can come in if you're even one of the designated liars.
He's one of the handful of people I label the designated liars. They're different than normal political people. The designated liars will tell the lie that the top of the party wants to tell, but most of the people in the party would be a little uncomfortable with it because it's just such an obvious lie. But if you've got some designated liars, they'll say anything.
And Eric Swalwell has been one of those designated liars who will say absolutely anything. That role is currently being filled by Jasmine Crockett. Has anyone noticed that Jasmine Crockett just became the person who says the most ridiculous things? Today, there's some new ones. I think we'll get to that. Unbelievable. All right.
So good job, Democrats, in apparently somehow rewarding your designated liars. You know, I'm not sure that...

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Eric Swalwell running for governor?
So that would be an indication of being forthright and honest. So good job on that, administration. All right, let's not talk about Social Security anymore. Don't you think there's got to be a story in here that's better than that? Does anybody think I can top that? Hey, Social Security is 27%. No, no. I'm going to top that so hard.
I'm going to give you something to think about today that you'll probably never stop thinking about. Yeah, it's coming. Well, Trump is teasing some kind of Ukraine peace plan. And as you might imagine, it is light on final details.
But it looks like what they're doing, if I just had to guess, is the administration might be floating some trial balloons to see what people could handle in terms of a Ukraine deal.
So some of the things that are being kind of whispered around, I guess, is that Ukraine would get a 10-year security deal that would be modeled in some way on NATO's Article 5, meaning if they got attacked, the West would come to their aid, the US specifically. Is that real? Well, it's sort of being discussed, so it's just something that's on the table, I guess. Ukraine reportedly
got rid of what was a proposal for the U.S. warrant to demand an audit of all wartime aid. And Ukraine said, oh, no, we can't. But we just want to audit. We just want to make sure that our billions of dollars are going to the right place and not being stolen. How about that? No, no. We can't stand for that. Okay, you have a whole war that's going on.
Are you telling me that you would continue a war in your own country that's in your homeland against an unbeatable foe in the long run, Russia? And you'd rather do that as long as you don't have to have an audit of where you spent the money that we gave you. Yeah, that's about right.
So I don't think we should do any kind of a deal with Ukraine that does not include our ability to audit where the money goes. Are you with me? Indeed, nobody should ever give away billions of dollars without an airtight audit system. It would be just absurd. It would be the height of stupidity.
to give away billions of dollars and have no mechanism for checking where it goes, which is pretty close to the current system, I guess. And then also, this is almost humorously ridiculous, that Ukraine also is pushing for, quote, full amnesty for actions committed during the war.
So Ukraine wants to make sure that not only is there no way to audit the wartime aid, but that if anybody already stole some, they've kept full amnesty. Come on. Come on. It's not even real. Is that actually what you think the U.S. is going to agree to? How about, I don't know, I'm just going to test this out. I'll run it by you. Run it up the flagpole.

Chapter 3: How does AI influence our daily lives?
So it feels like he's literally just creating this structure, purely psychological, that only he can do. No one else could do it.
And that once you buy into the structure that there is something happening, that you are moving toward peace, that it is possible to have peace, that Trump is the one person who can make it happen, that there might be a phase where it looks like it's impossible, but that's not really predictive.
What's more predictive is that Trump is part of it because he can, he predicts good outcomes, at least for peace deals. Maybe. But you at least see where I'm going on this, right? That he's in such uncharted territory.
that I don't know if we just blundered into it and maybe something good could happen, or does he intentionally create these narratives or structures or psychological, let's say, labyrinths where once you're in it, you're in his world, and then he can decide which hallway you go down because there's not infinite hallways. They're just the ones he's created. It's going to get better. Hold on.
All right. So we don't know what the details would be of any Ukrainian plan, but keep an eye on that. We'll see if he has, in fact, invented a new way to solve problems. Or it's just confusing and it's hard and that's all there is there. So I guess J.D. Vance might have some large-ish role in that. creating a Republican healthcare plan? This is what J.D. said.
He was teasing that the Republicans have a, quote, great healthcare plan that the Trump administration has in the works. How many of you believe that? How many of you believe that the Republicans already have this great healthcare plan? But for reasons that are entirely unclear, they've chosen not to tell you. We got this great health care plan. Oh, my goodness. Can we take a look at the details?
The details. Yep. Yep. The details will follow. But it's a great, great plan. Is it? Is it? How exactly are you going to be saving all the money? Well, you know how our current health care plan is too expensive? Yes, I do know that. Ours will not be expensive. Boom. Wait, what? So, yeah, the Republicans got a great health care plan. I'm going to roll that baby on any minute now. All right, but...
But there are several things that Republicans are doing and can do that would lower your healthcare costs. The problem is they don't combine very well into a package or a message. So for example, Trump is considering lowering some tariffs on some food-related items coming into the country. Would that lower your grocery bill? Well, it could. could make a big difference.
Um, let's say that he lowered some tariffs and that, that helps you a little bit on the margins. Um, what if he, uh, negotiated some prices down? Let's say the, the meat packers, let's say he just negotiated with them and got the price down. Well, that would be useful. And that would go toward his, you know, his improving things at least on, uh, food. But, um,

Chapter 4: What improvements have been made to the Social Security system?
This stuff's wrong. What about Bill Maher? I saw him recently. Was it on his podcast? club random or maybe the regular show he's mentioned that because he's a public figure he has extra vision on this the fact that the news is so often fake that wouldn't be obvious to people who are not public figures because they don't read news about themselves like people like me and people like him do.
All right, now, so you've got Elon Musk, Joe Rogan's mentioned it, Bill Murray's mentioned it on Joe Rogan Show, Gutfeld, Fox News, me, my books, Cernovich, et cetera. This is teaching people a way to think and a way to see the world. If what comes out of all this Grokopedia stuff is simply that more people understand what Gell-Mann amnesia is, it completely changes how we see the world.
It will change how you see the Soros versus Musk, how in the world could both of them exist if they have this view that's just a complete opposites. I say that what's different about the era you're in is that the Trump supporting part of the world, not all of it. Oh, somebody's saying that Dr. Drew has mentioned Gell-Mann. I think he has, I think he has.
So you're probably all thinking of other examples, right? Now, if I went over to the Democrat influencers, how many of the Democrat influencers have taught their audience the Gell-Mann amnesia. Any? Any?
So what happens over time if one side of the political world gets trained in how to think, which is exactly what Elon Musk does every time he talks to you, he also teaches you how to think, like how you should think of entering AI, how you should think of that risk, et cetera. That's completely different than just telling you what to think.
The right leaning or I'll just say Trump supporting common sense part of the political world is really about teaching the other people in it how to think about stuff. That's all I do all day. I teach you how to think, not necessarily what to think. All right, so what happens with that? Do you think that the people on the political right are more able to identify a hoax?
Yes, they are, because they're actually trained on what the hoaxes were, how they were created, and then how they were supported by the media.
So you've got an entire political class that, while the Democrats weren't paying attention, and this is the fun part, the Democrats don't see this coming, that half of the world has been trained to recognize bullshit, and the other half has been trained to accept it. If you just fast forward that tape, let's see, one half of the country trained to accept bullshit as the truth.
The other half of the country trained to identify bullshit as soon as they see it and to avoid it as quickly as possible. Fast forward that. Where do you end up? Where you end up is what you observe right now, which is the team that can't avoid the hoaxes just goes right off the cliff. What happened to the Democrats this year? They went off the cliff. Did they not? Right?

Chapter 5: What insights can we gain from the Ukraine war audit resistance?
Everything is sketchy. And then that made me come up with the following question that will also plague you to the end of your days. You ready? Here's the Epstein question you'll never get out of your head. Who taught Epstein to be Epstein? Yeah. Yeah, roll that one around in your head a little bit. Who taught Epstein how to be Epstein?
Meaning, who taught him how to move gigantic amounts of money around money laundering without getting caught. Who taught him to make these connections, we think, don't know for sure, with various intelligence groups? Who would even know how to do that? Is that something you work out on your own? How do you do it? And then how do you blackmail famous people?
It can't be that obvious how to blackmail a public figure. Do you know what I'd worry about? If you said, Scott, it's not rocket science, it's just blackmail. So here's some tapes of this famous billionaire. Now go blackmail him, Scott. I'd say, hold on, hold on. I know you think that's easy, but I have questions. And then somebody would say, there's no questions.
Everybody knows how to blackmail. Blackmail is the simplest thing you could ever do. Just threaten that if he doesn't do everything you want, you'll release the tapes. That's it. To which I say, question, question. Is this a billionaire who has access to private armies and unlimited security? Yes. Why do you ask? Would this person also be completely aware that I'm the one blackmailing them?
Well, yeah. I mean, that's why it works because they know who's blackmailing them. So let me get this straight. If I were to blackmail this person and let's say something went bad and I released these images, what would that billionaire do to me and my family? Oh, well, obviously they'd be rounded up and tied to chairs.
And after that, well, no promises, but they would be tied to chairs, if you know what I mean. So in my mind, I can't even come up with a scenario in which I would know how to blackmail anybody. How do you blackmail somebody without them killing you? Right? Because if you gave me a billion dollars and then somebody blackmailed me, I might be looking for some solutions.
I might talk to some of my people. There might be some people in my world, if I were a billionaire, who wanted to owe me a favor. I wouldn't have to specifically ask for somebody to take care of my enemies. People would figure out that if they did, I'd hear about it and probably be quite grateful. But you see my point, right? How did Epstein learn to be Epstein? How did he learn to be Epstein?
There's no way that you just work that out on your own. All right. So most of you are saying CIA, but that is the fun question here. All right, I'm going to do a little test for you. Here's the test. If you see a news story that involves the following words, now these will be out of order. They're just going to be words, not in sentences.
If you see the following words, what do you know about the story? Here are the following words. Minnesota taxpayer dollars. Somalia investigation scheme. Is there anything else I need to say about that? No, that's the whole story. And I feel like there's one of these every day. I pick up, you know, or I look at the screen, like, oh, there's another story.
