00:00:00.000
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:13.660
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. There's never been a better time.
00:00:16.340
But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that only the International Space Station can even possibly understand,
00:00:24.180
all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chelsea, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:30.000
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:32.940
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:37.760
It's called, that's right, the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.
00:00:49.840
You say you're here for the coffee and the ambiance? Well, this is the place to get it.
00:00:55.120
We got coffee. We got ambiance. There's a new study, according to the SciPost.
00:01:02.180
The Journal of Psychopharmacology says that coffee affects people differently based on their genes.
00:01:10.660
That's right. If you've got the right kind of genes, the coffee is going to affect you just right.
00:01:16.120
Now, I must have those kind of genes, but I like to marinate my genes in coffee.
00:01:23.100
Yeah, just let them marinate and possibly mutate.
00:01:27.780
If the coffee will make my genes mutate, good for me.
00:01:35.000
In other news, Microsoft is going to permanently shut down Skype.
00:01:48.280
Oh, my God. It was a nightmare every time I tried to use it.
00:01:59.800
In other news, MIT, we'll talk about Epstein, of course.
00:02:03.740
But in other news, MIT has developed a robot bees to replace regular bees for farming so they can pollinate stuff.
00:02:16.500
So, they've got this little tiny bee robot drone that's the size of a bee, and it can go pollinate plants.
00:02:25.660
Why is it that every single robot technology sounds scary?
00:02:32.380
Okay, they can now build a swarm of robot bees.
00:02:42.280
But in robot news, the company Figure, that's one of the leading humanoid robot makers,
00:02:50.800
their CEO says they're aiming to start alpha testing in homes this year.
00:02:59.480
I guess it'll beat Tesla, so the Tesla robots won't be here as quickly as the figure robots, but maybe.
00:03:09.400
But the interesting thing was about this, not just that it's coming,
00:03:14.540
but that the company says that they're advancing faster than anybody anticipated.
00:03:24.120
Why do you think the robot development, which they thought they'd roll out in two years,
00:03:33.660
And I wonder if it's anything to do with DeepSeek.
00:03:38.200
So, DeepSeek kind of taught them how to be more efficient.
00:03:42.100
And I imagine all the AI companies said, oh, let's take their little secrets and build it into our product.
00:03:50.160
So, I wonder if the Chinese AI, I'm just speculating, I wonder if that's what sped things up.
00:03:59.740
You know, you could have just a localized AI that wouldn't absolutely depend on being connected to the net.
00:04:10.800
Well, do you remember my prediction about the Epstein files from yesterday?
00:04:17.960
So, there's nothing I enjoy more when it comes to this sort of stuff than making an unusual prediction that just nails it.
00:04:27.640
So, while the entire country and the world and the credible people from the president to Pam Bondi to Kash Patel were all saying,
00:04:35.700
oh, we're going to get you those Epstein files.
00:04:44.080
They're going to be handed over to us and we're going to release them and it's going to be yesterday.
00:04:53.460
The only thing you'll see are things you've seen before, like flight logs.
00:05:00.300
They released the only things you've seen before, the flight logs.
00:05:08.240
Now, part of why I do this show and one of the big themes is I make unusual predictions.
00:05:17.080
And the more unusual they are when they come in, just the more it tells you that there's something about the technique that might be valid.
00:05:28.720
So, I always say that the only thing that's real is prediction.
00:05:32.140
Because you can have all kinds of beliefs about what reality is.
00:05:36.500
But if your belief in reality doesn't predict, well, I'm not so sure you have the right reality.
00:05:43.760
But if my understanding of reality consistently predicts some of the most unpredictable things,
00:05:51.760
well, then maybe you should take a look at my frames and how I do it.
00:05:57.920
So, in this frame, I simply started with the fact that if the Epstein files are anything like we suspect they are,
00:06:10.820
There's no world in which those will ever be released.
00:06:21.820
I think you're going to have to give it to me this time.
00:06:24.880
So, I did publicly say more than once, yeah, you're not going to get anything but what you've already seen.
00:06:31.460
Now, the real question is, let me ask this question.
00:06:38.560
Now, allegedly, Pam Bondi is saying that, is it the Southern District of New York FBI office allegedly has all these files
00:06:51.220
and that they're going to release them any second and that they didn't.
00:07:00.160
And then some whistleblower says they're destroying the files.
00:07:12.740
Isn't the most important person in the country right now, Kash Patel?
00:07:17.980
Because the president promised us, Kash Patel promised us, Pam Bondi promised us,
00:07:29.960
Like, I don't think any one of them were lying.
00:08:00.840
Under what scenario would we not hear from Kash Patel yesterday?
00:08:05.600
Can you think of any scenario in which he would be quiet all of yesterday?
00:08:42.040
So I would say that we don't know anything about this.
00:08:57.500
the FBI hides critical damning evidence about FBI informants.
00:09:03.460
Would that suggest that Epstein is an FBI informant?
00:09:10.860
But apparently they create a separate set of FBI books,
00:09:15.280
one to show people who ask if they get audited, I guess,
00:09:22.980
And then there's a real one that are for eyes only,
00:09:27.940
and only two people are ever allowed to access them.
00:09:32.780
So apparently it's standard procedure in the FBI
00:10:38.920
Now, many of you have been telling me for a long time
00:11:52.540
and I found out that there was this foreign spy
00:12:27.480
I would guess that he probably freelanced a bit
00:13:22.040
And then she worked on the Jeffrey Epstein case.
00:13:35.000
She also worked on the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.
00:14:10.340
It's suspicious that she seems to get the most high profile.
00:14:30.840
there's no smoking gun or anything that would suggest you do anything illegal or inappropriate or,
00:14:42.100
whenever you have a high profile government person,
00:14:46.080
they're often married to another high profile government person.
00:15:00.640
So there's nothing unusual about high profile people having good jobs.
00:15:08.540
and the children of those people having even better jobs.
00:15:16.300
you wouldn't need a conspiracy for that stuff to happen.
00:15:19.040
It would just be high profile people doing high profile stuff,
00:15:26.280
And we've seen so many examples where one spouse is in exactly the right place to help the other spouse.
00:15:34.520
the situation like there's a Congress person who's voting for funding for USA ID for some NGO.
00:15:48.260
So there's a million ways to launder money and launder the law just because of family connections.
00:15:55.760
And there really needs to be some way for us to identify and root that out and get rid of the conflict of interest.
00:16:04.980
but I don't know anything about specifically the Comey situation.
00:16:17.580
the senior is being investigated for what they call a honeypot operation.
00:16:22.060
I think Fox news reported it as the honeypot meant sleeping with members of the Trump team to get,
00:16:31.940
to find any crimes without knowing any specific things that they were looking for.
00:16:37.820
it would suggest that Comey was doing something off book or out of the normal process to just get Trump.
00:16:49.240
I don't know if there's a crime involved there exactly,
00:16:51.900
or even how unusual that is for the FBI to do something off the books.
00:17:10.840
or if somebody is gay and attractive guy or attractive woman for the lesbian,
00:17:19.060
the O'Keefe media group model where you just get somebody to go on a date.
00:17:24.440
And the other person gets liquored up and they think that if they impress their date,
00:17:34.140
So I don't think the honeypot really meant sleep with them.
00:17:41.380
Now I'm not saying that's never happened anywhere.
00:17:45.980
but I would suspect that what they're calling honeypot really means more of a fake date and fake flirting and fake interest.
00:18:08.440
I'd wait to see if there really is an investigation.
00:18:20.360
So I'm not going to automatically say this is all true,
00:18:37.760
who suspiciously put a pipe bomb in a place that even Kamala Harris walked by and,
00:18:43.380
and ordinary citizens were walking by even after it had been,
00:18:49.660
And so there's something suspicious about the pipe bomber and the pipe bomb.
00:19:00.120
the video shows the pipe bomber talking on the phone right before he planted the bomb.
00:19:06.740
could it be that it was just something from his spouse?
00:19:12.260
it was just an ordinary phone call and that's just when he took it or maybe that call was placed to a
00:19:34.200
that he was also spotted and he's on video as making a phone call,
00:19:48.460
Do you think that the government doesn't have a way given that they know the time?
00:19:56.680
And you don't think that they could identify who made a phone call.
00:20:10.780
I think the information about who they were calling the pipe bomber on January 6th and also Thomas Crooks,
00:20:37.760
and then New York Post is reporting what POC had,
00:20:53.360
sort of admitted that they all knew that Biden was a problem.
00:20:57.680
And they were frightened to death when he ever had had any opportunity to speak off the cuff in public.
00:21:10.440
Everybody was aware from day one that his age was a big problem and they tried to manage it because it was a big problem.
00:21:22.580
it's just routine for people who are a certain age to which I say,
00:21:30.580
That's not routine to cover up your infirmities.
00:21:33.760
If they're mental routine to cover up your mental infirmities.
00:22:08.140
Elon Musk has floated the idea of giving members of Congress a big raise.
00:22:12.680
If it could possibly prevent them from using corruption to augment their income.
00:22:19.220
Now I get the idea that if you were paid so well,
00:22:27.880
But I think that with so many members of Congress,
00:22:31.420
you're still going to find plenty of people who want to be corrupt because their pay isn't enough,
00:22:39.380
But what would it take to pay a member of Congress?
00:22:48.880
If you have a home and a family back in your home state,
00:22:53.160
and then you also have to spend all your time in Washington,
00:23:06.720
You could certainly see how the temptation would be through the roof.
00:23:24.880
And the bonus would be zero if they don't balance the budget.
00:23:50.980
If you just balance the budget and you didn't do any tricks,
00:23:57.900
Do you know how many trillions of dollars we would have saved
00:24:01.960
if Congress knew that each one of them could get an extra $300,000
00:24:22.580
I'm not going to pay you $500,000 a year or something for showing up.
00:24:32.160
you're going to have to show me that you did the most important thing,
00:24:37.280
You could also imagine that you might have some other,
00:24:44.180
I don't know who would be the one in charge of giving them goals,
00:24:47.660
but you could also imagine if they don't secure the border,
00:24:51.780
but I guess you could say that's more of the president's job.
00:24:56.940
So according to the post-millennial and some other places,
00:25:05.040
the Trump's department of justice is going to do hate crime indictments
00:25:09.140
against the campus activists who are supporting Hamas.
00:25:14.580
So that would make them sort of pro-terrorist and anti-Israel,
00:25:33.320
but weirdly he's on the justice task force to combat anti-Semitism.
00:25:40.040
It's kind of weird that a non-Jewish guy would be on the anti-Semitism thing,
00:25:48.400
if he has the right skills and he has the right interests,
00:25:50.740
and he has the right incentives and he cares about the issue,
00:26:00.640
meaning that they just thought he was the right person.
00:26:07.740
So he announced that they're doing this federal hate crime indictments and
00:26:10.780
people are going to go to jail for supporting Hamas and trying to
00:26:15.840
Now here's one of those cases where I think the public again has to watch
00:26:21.180
carefully because if this moves from obvious criminal behavior all the way
00:26:35.400
if they're just jailing people for political reasons and they haven't done
00:26:38.840
something we can identify as an actual crime on the books,
00:26:46.060
obviously I'm opposed to the pro Hamas wing of,
00:26:53.580
I'm also opposed to going too far into the politicization and,
00:27:02.080
but this is one of the things you want to keep your eyes on.
00:27:09.080
let me give you a little background that Victor Davis Hanson gives us.
00:27:19.840
some president was going to have to stop the unsustainable spending and
00:27:26.700
at some point somebody had to do it when it got bad enough,
00:27:31.560
whoever was president was going to have to do it.
00:27:39.460
some president would eventually have had to restore the borders and stop
00:28:01.900
but any president who dared to do any of that would be damned for
00:28:04.880
curving the madness that his predecessors fueled.
00:28:14.140
Trump's approach of common sense is really a big club
00:28:40.540
second term president with balls of steel and the common sense as your
00:28:46.620
sword and a whole bunch of really capable people backing you to get any of
00:28:59.200
And Trump is just a singular unique character who has the exact right
00:29:05.260
personality experience and just the right situation.
00:29:17.420
the Democrats claiming that the Republicans are going to gut Medicaid or did
00:29:25.980
Adam Pack is talking about that as basically a hoax.
00:29:28.840
because they don't present any evidence that anything like that happened.
00:29:34.360
Now I kind of backed off of that because I heard the accusations and I knew
00:29:40.720
that a budget had been agreed upon by at least the house.
00:29:47.840
maybe they thought it was that much waste and abuse.
00:29:55.060
Is it true that the mainstream media and the Democrats have been just wildly
00:30:01.020
claiming that there's cuts and something that would be like the last thing
00:30:05.380
that the public would be willing to accept cuts and Medicaid.
00:30:18.880
but the fact that the mainstream media can still support a hoax of that
00:30:34.220
if the mainstream media is the only one you're paying attention to,
00:30:43.440
Because it's not like you dug into the budget yourself.
00:30:49.480
But I thought I'd give you a review of the top three,
00:30:55.600
Democrat hoaxes that control their base and keep them in power.
00:31:01.580
these are what I consider really obviously easily debunkable hoaxes.
00:31:06.220
But as long as the mainstream media has this captive audience of Democrats who
00:31:42.200
We don't have a system that can tell you what you don't know.
00:31:57.380
if an election had been rigged by people who were so good at rigging
00:32:49.700
and they think they've looked at every possibility
00:32:58.140
And we're talking about the best technologists in the world.
00:33:07.200
There's no way anybody's going to find a way to hack this.
00:33:22.620
That would be a weird and wonderful coincidence.
00:33:26.480
But no, it's not a fact that anybody knows anything
00:33:56.900
because they didn't expect he would win at all.
00:33:58.700
So I don't think there was necessarily any cheating
00:34:23.780
that January 6th was definitely an insurrection.
00:34:26.820
And if you don't believe it was an insurrection
00:34:32.800
you're some kind of a lying traitor to the country.
00:34:50.300
There weren't enough of those insurrectionist ones,
