Don't check your stocks.
Do not check your stocks today.
It wouldn't be a good day to do that.
But let's get the comments working.
Do do do do do do.
All right.
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 taking it up to another level, all you need is a cup or a mug.
You'd think I would have memorized this by now.
A cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or 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.
And it happens right now.
go.
I remember Tremendous.
Incredible.
All right, well, big story of the day.
You may have heard that Joe Biden...
It has prostate cancer, but it's not the good kind.
It's the bad kind.
There's something you need to know about prostate cancer.
If it's localized and it hasn't left your prostate, it's 100% curable.
But if it leaves your prostate and spreads to other parts of your body, in this case, Joe Biden has it in his bones, it is 100% not curable.
So it's not curable at all.
So I'd like to extend my respect and compassion and sympathy for the ex-president and his family because they're going to be going through an especially tough time.
It's a terrible disease.
It's going to get very painful for the president if something else doesn't take him out first because he's a certain age.
One of the things I've been watching is how terrible the public is.
And I'll tell you, there's no sympathy for Joe Biden for a lot of people.
And it's hard to watch.
Especially because the public has all decided to become prostate experts.
The number of people who have said things that I'm pretty sure are not right is kind of shocking.
And I have to say that even some of the doctors who have appeared on social media and on the TV, I don't think they're right either.
I'll tell you why in a little bit.
But the big question is, how long does it take to go from a clean bill of health to stage 4 prostate cancer?
So I heard one doctor say, It would take 7 to 10 years or something like that.
I don't think that's right.
I think there's actually a tremendous variability of how long it takes to go from localized in the prostate and your PSA spikes to, uh-oh, it is spread to your bones.
I'll give you some more information about that in a minute.
I guess his doctor, Kevin O 'Connor, Biden's doctor, said back in August of 2024, said that he had a clean bill of health and he was just looking good.
So is it, you might ask yourself, is it possible that he was not showing signs in August of 2024, but that...
Between then and now, that he not only showed signs, but that it had spread to his bones.
And the answer is, yeah, that's possible.
I don't think it would be too common, but it's probably possible.
I spent some time on Grok.
There's a very wide variability.
Now, one of the things that you might not be aware of is that sometimes the biopsy itself can be the cause of the spread in cancers in general.
Because sometimes if the cancer is in the prostate, I think there's like a 5% chance or something like that, that just messing around, taking a sample might be what releases it into your blood.
No reason to believe that's what happened with Biden, but you never know.
But arguing that it has been something that he's known about for a long time would be a gaffe he made three years ago where he said in public that he has cancer.
But I think he was just misspeaking.
But maybe not.
Maybe he accidentally said the truth.
I don't know.
And then his brother, Frank Biden, has admitted that...
In his opinion, that Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race due to serious health concerns, but he wasn't specific about which health concerns.
I would think that his cognitive concerns would be enough not to run for president, but he may have had more concerns than that.
So we don't know exactly what was happening.
I'm not sure who will.
But the political implications, because everything has a political implication with these guys, is that, does it seem to you like a coincidence that this news dropped just as the Tapper book is going to come out and everybody's talking about his cognitive abilities?
I feel like that's a pretty big coincidence, but it could be.
It could be a coincidence.
But it does have the effect of turning our attention away from his cognitive stuff to a more sympathetic take of his cancer.
All right.
Well, I've decided that today is the day I'm going to take the opportunity, since a lot of you are here, to make an announcement of my own.
Some of you have already guessed.
So this won't surprise you at all.
But I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has.
So I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones.
But I've had it longer than he's had it.
Well, longer than he's admitted having it.
So my life expectancy is maybe the summer.
I'd expect to be checking out from this.
Domain sometime this summer.
Now, in California, I've got an option that he doesn't have.
And I was actually an activist when California was considering this.
And in California, once you get to the point where you're definitely going to die, you're terminal, there is a very civilized process where you can get some Juice that you drink that makes you fall asleep and then you pass away.
So, you do that when the disease becomes intolerable.
Now, the disease is already intolerable.
I can tell you that I don't have good days.
So, if you're wondering, hey, Scott, do you have any good days?
Nope.
Nope.
Every day is a nightmare and evening is even worse.
So if you're wondering, those of you who are subscribers to my Locals channel, if you're wondering why I had to stop the evening man caves, part of it was because of the behavior of the people on it.
But a lot of it was because I don't really function too well after the show.
So I do have the ability to kind of get up for this part of the day.
But I'm in pain, and I'm always in pain.
And the pain moves around to different parts of my body.
I've been using a walker to walk for months now.
So, you know, it's basically intolerable.
I'm glad I was part of the activism that got the law passed in California so you can take yourself out.
Now, I realize that for some of you, this is hitting you kind of hard because you're hearing it for the first time.
Weirdly, since it's old news to me, I've just sort of processed it, so it just sort of is what it is.
And I have to say that, you know, everybody has to die, as far as I know.
And it's kind of civilized that you know...
About how long you have, so you can put your affairs together and make sure you've said your goodbyes and done all the things you need to do.
So if you had to pick a way to die, this one's really painful.
Like, really, really painful.
But it's also kind of good that it gives you enough time while your brain is still working to wrap things up.
Do you remember last year I was making a big deal online about the claims that ivermectin and fenbenazole are a cure for this exact condition?
Well, in case you're wondering, I did try that.
And I did try it with the assistance of the doctor who was the famous doctor, Dr. Mackis.
And it wasn't that I believed it would work.
It was just that there wasn't much downside risk.
So with my doctor's blessing, he didn't think it would work, of course.
And it didn't work at all.
So I did it for a few months.
My PSA probably went up by a factor of 10 during that time.
So what I was hoping was that it would work and that I could be part of the solution.
Wouldn't that have been cool?
And so I was teasing you that I was working on something that could be life-changing.
But it didn't work.
So I can't say that it never worked for anybody with some different cancer or some different situation.
But I can tell you it didn't work at all for me.
So that's all I know about that.
You might wonder why it took me so long to tell you.
And I think I owe you an answer to that.
Number one, it would change my life because everybody would start treating me like the cancer guy.
You can't really back, like there's no second way that goes.
Once you go public, you're just the dying cancer guy.
And I didn't want you to have to think about it.
And I didn't want to have to think about it.
Now, I wasn't lying when I told you that my walking and my mobility problems were arthritis and a problem with my discs.
That is true.
But it turns out that, as bad luck would have it, I have arthritis in the same place that my discs are bad, in my back, but also a tumor.
So one of my tumors is in the same place.
So I got the sort of triple whammy.
So, oh my God, does it hurt most days.
You know, I do painkillers when I can.
But most of the day, I just veg out.
I become sort of a zombie, and I just slip in and out of sleep and wait for the next day.
So this is actually the only thing I do.
You know, the morning show.
And I'll keep doing it as long as I can, as long as I can tolerate it.
But if you're wondering if I'll get better, the answer is no.
It will only get worse.
There's only one direction this goes.
Now, the reason that I'm telling you now is I was getting ready to tell you, but I was looking for, you know, the right time, etc.
I wanted to get past my stepdaughter's wedding, which is over, so I got past that.
But when Joe Biden went public with his situation, I thought to myself, you know what?
I'm going to slide under his story, and he's going to take away a lot of the attention, because, you know, ex-president.
I thought it would just be a little bit easier for me to tag onto that.
And if you're thinking about prostate cancer, you're going to be thinking about him as much as me, so it just takes a little of the energy away.
That's my thought anyway.
Now, having watched how people treated Joe Biden when the diagnosis came, people are really cruel.
They're really bad.
And I was expecting, and of course this could happen, people are going to say it's because I got the COVID shot.
There's no indication that that makes a difference.
People are going to say it's something I brought on myself.
They're going to say it's because I lived a bad life.
I don't know.
But people are going to be really, really terrible.
So I wanted to reduce the number of months or weeks.
I don't know what I have left, weeks or months.
I wanted to reduce the time that people were being terrible to me online, because it's going to be kind of hard to spend any time online.
All of my enemies, in other words, people were Democrats mostly, are going to come after me pretty hard.
So, you know, I have to put up with that.
But I'm ready for that.
You should know, well, if you didn't already know, I am unusually mentally tough.
So while this could be much worse, you know, for some people, I suppose, I'm handling it quite well.
The pain is tough.
I mean, really tough.
But the mental part, you know, I got that under control.
And I can see in the comments that some of you are having a tough time with it.
But remember, nothing lasts forever.
Nothing lasts forever.
So, I hope you don't mind that I hid it from you.
I want it as many normal months as I can get.
Now, many of you are going to ask me a lot of questions.
You're going to say, you know, what did you do to treat it?
And when did you know?
And, you know, when did you know your PSA was high and all that?
And I'm not going to answer those questions because you can imagine, right, what a problem that would be if I started answering questions about all of my medical decisions.
So now you know.
By the way, there were some people who guessed correctly.
I think Owen guessed.
Owen, you totally knew, didn't you?
Not necessarily which specific answer, but you totally knew.
So you got that right.
And yesterday on X, somebody I didn't know said it was obvious.
And I thought to myself, Yeah, it's kind of obvious.
You know, the one good thing about having this particular cancer is that it's impossible to gain weight.
So I can eat as much as I want of anything, and I'll still lose weight.
I don't have the option of gaining weight, even if I wanted to.
All right.
So a lot of things will start making sense now as you remember things I said or decisions I made or things I did.
Now you have the right context.
You can put it all in there.
Speaking of which, according to Corwell Health, there's a breakthrough therapy for rare cancers.
They use something called proton therapy.
And it's not FDA approved.
It'll be approved next year.
But apparently, it's highly effective at getting hard-to-treat cancers, and it can zap your tumors all over your body, and with almost no side effects.
So the other reason that I wanted to keep my announcement about my own situation, and then I saw...
That, you know, Biden had made it a story.
I thought to myself, you know what?
There will probably be people who have things in the lab that are, maybe, that they think are a cure for metastatic prostate cancer.
And because an ex-president has it, they might think this is the time to mention it.
And so that would work for my favor, too.
So I suppose there's still a non-zero chance.
Proton therapy has been around for many, many years.
Well, they don't have FDA approval for the way they're doing it in this particular case.
All right.
So I'm going to give you a little bit of news that's not about me, and we'll see how close we can get to normal.
I know it's going to be hard.
But if you don't mind, I'd like to be as normal as possible for as long as I can.
And so that requires me now to tell you about the news, if you don't mind.
Yeah, that's the reason I was looking into AI, Scott.
By the way, there's something else that was a mystery that Maybe now makes sense.
Do you remember that I was doing a live stream and one of you asked, what do I see in Trump's, once Trump gets elected?
And I told you I only saw black.
That's before I knew that this was terminal.
So I knew before I knew because I've always seen my future.
Since I was a little kid, I could see my future.
And I could see very specific parts of it.
You know, even the house I lived in, the job I got, everything.
And when you ask me, what do I see for the coming year?
I just saw black.
I've never seen that before.
And I tried to play it off, but I knew what it was.
I didn't know the specifics.
But I knew my...
My time was over.
So anyway, I'm going to talk about some stories in the news.
I don't know if it'll get your mind off it, but that's why we're here, right?
Talking about the stories in the news.
So let's see what happens.
So Christopher Ruffo noticed that Harvard had a hiring guide online.
And the hiring guide actually specifically had instructions for not hiring white men.
And it wasn't subtle.
It said, we're not hiring white men.
And that they should just avoid hiring white men.
Well, after Chris Verrufo went public with that, Harvard got rid of that page.
I don't think they got rid of their practice.
Harvard is just a terrible piece of shit.
I went from respecting Harvard and thinking, oh, I wish I'd gone there, to thinking it's completely ruined.
They're really just a racist organization, and that's the primary way I see them.
I see them as racists, at least the administration.
So that's all extremely illegal, and the more pressure that Trump puts on him, the better.
Well, let's check in with Mayor Brandon Johnson, Chicago.
He was in an interview recently, and he said, the reason I hire so many blacks to run Chicago is because we're planet Earth's most generous race.
That's super racist.
It's super racist.
What do you say about that, other than it's just super racist?
My God.
But he gets away with it, of course.
Well, you may have heard that the big, beautiful bill, the budget bill, has advanced out of the Budget Committee.
And I guess David Friedberg, you know from the All In Pod podcast, he said that Americans should be ashamed of this bill.
And I agree.
He said if you're an American, you should feel shame that your elected officials are proposing that this is the bill that gets passed.
That we vaporize this much money, that we put ourselves this much further in debt.
That we do not treat the situation as a fiscal emergency than it is.
We're now burning an additional $2.5 trillion a year added to our debt load.
Now, what did Mike Johnson say about it?
Mike Johnson said they cut $900 billion.
Do you think they cut $900 billion?
No.
They're aiming at cutting $900 billion over 10 years.
Do you know what that means?
It means they're not going to cut $900 billion if they cut anything at all.
If they cut anything, they'll just replace it with a tax break or some damn thing.
So, as Friedberg says, we are in a fiscal crisis and we're not willing to admit it.
Now, that's what I see.
I see a fiscal crisis that we're just acting like it isn't.
And it's the damnedest thing.
But I saw Scott Besant.
He was on the NBC Meet the Press.
And he was talking about it.
But he's got a different way he approaches it, numbers-wise.
And he's really smart.
But I wonder if he's lying.
Meaning that I wonder if what he says is persuasive to him or if he just thinks he can get away with saying it.
But what he says is he inherited a 6.7% deficit in GDP, which was the highest deficit when we're not at war and on the recession.
So he basically says we have to grow the economy faster so that our GDP is a bigger percentage compared to our debt.
Now, compared to our deficit.
Do you think we could grow our economy fast enough to get out of this fiscal problem while we're still spending $2 trillion, or 2.5 maybe, more than we make?
I don't think so.
And I think if we got to the point where we were growing that fast, wouldn't we have inflation?
And wouldn't the Fed need to raise the interest rates to stop the growth?
Because if the growth is too fast, you get inflation.
I don't know if it's possible to grow our way out of this.
But I also don't know if Scott Bessent thinks it's possible.
Or he just needs to say something and it sounds good.
And people are like, oh, okay.
I don't know much about economics, but if you say so, we'll just grow our way out of it.
Now, Trump keeps upping the number for the investments he brought into the country from his Middle East trip.
Now he's saying 10 trillion.
But, you know, as you might imagine, Some of it was going to happen anyway, so it's not as new as you think.
And some of it would be spread over 10 years, and it's going to take a while for them to build any facilities that anybody's going to work at.
So it's better than nothing, but I don't know if it's fast enough.
Meanwhile, over in Japan, the Prime Minister, Shiba, said that Japan's financial situation is worse than Greece.
Do you remember when Greece completely fell apart and their economy was just completely broken?
Well, they seem to have somehow righted the ship.
I don't know how they did it.
But Japan's numbers are worse.
You know, their debt to GDP or whatever it is, is actually worse than Greece, and Greece was a disaster.
Now, there are some people who are saying that the demographic collapse, because they're just not having babies over there, the demographic collapse may be part of it, but I think almost every country is experiencing some kind of a debt problem.
So, whatever it is that we need, We're going to need it fast.
In other news, TechCrunch is reporting that Apple has got an AI that's built into it for the Chinese market, and the AI is China's AI.
Alibaba is powering the AI.
So if you buy an iPhone sold in China, You're going to have Alibaba AI.
Do you trust it?
What kind of information is it going to collect about you?
Apple is a little bit quiet about that.
Real quiet, according to TechCrunch.
Well, Dan Bongino and Kash Patel were on Maria Bartiromo's show on Fox News recently.
And made some news.
Bongino says that Epstein did kill himself.
And he said, I've seen the whole file.
Cash Patel said the same thing.
And they both said it with confidence.
Now, here's the thing.
Dan Bongino is not a liar.
So this would be clearly what he believes to be true.
And he's seen more than we've seen.
He's seen the whole file.
But is the whole file real?
How would we know the file is accurate and includes everything?
Well, Alex Jones is not having any of it.
And although he's a big fan of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, He gives his own argument for why it couldn't possibly be anything but a murder.
And he makes a pretty good case.
Makes a good case.
So there are a lot of coincidences, like the technical problem that deleted the video.
Really?
Technical problem that deleted the video.
And a number of other big coincidences.
Suicide Watch, they both took a nap at the same time?
Okay.
So, I don't know what to think.
But I do think that Bongino and Cash Patel are telling the truth as they say it.
You know, unless they got somehow turned by some powerful forces.
But I feel like they're straight shooters, so...
I'm going to believe that they believe it, but I'm not going to believe it yet because there's just too many sketchy things happening there.
They also made news saying that they discovered some more revelations, things we hadn't heard before, about Russia collusion, which was the crossfire hurricane project within the FBI.
Now, we don't know what that is, but apparently our eyes are going to go boing when we find out because it's apparently going to make news.
So Patel said that the FBI has uncovered a, quote, tranche, a tranche.
Only the government uses that word, right?
Have you ever used tranche?
For anything?
A tranche of hidden Russiagate documents related to Crossfire Hurricane.
And I guess Kash Patel was the lead Russiagate investigator for the House Intelligence Committee, and it's stuff he's never seen before.
And apparently some of it is pretty damning.
And it's about, well, it suggests people were hiding things.
Now, if you say to yourself, wow, those people involved with that are in a lot of trouble, like Comey and McCabe and Strzok, it turns out they're not, because there's a five-year statute of limitation on those alleged crimes.
So even if we found out that they did everything that you thought they did, there would be no legal recourse.
Just because enough time's gone by.
Un-freaking-believable.
Well, meanwhile, Trump wants to investigate how Kamala Harris may have bought endorsements from Beyonce, Bono, and Oprah, and Bruce Springsteen.
So you're not supposed to buy endorsements.
What Harris and her campaign did was they paid these people to show up and they paid them to perform in some cases, and then they endorsed her.
But I don't think that's a crime if the people who did the endorsing were clearly going to endorse her anyway, or were already big fans.
So I can't imagine that Beyonce Bono...
Oprah and Springsteen were going to support Trump.
So I don't really think you're going to find any crime there.
But I love the fact that Trump finds a new Monday way to make us think of stuff.
The other thing that Trump said was he said some nice words about the Biden family and Joe Biden's medical problem.
And he wished him a...
A speedy recovery.
Except it's fatal.
There's no recovery.
So I wonder if he knew that when he said it.
I don't know.
It was a little bit trollish.
All right, here's a big story that's almost impossible to understand.
It's one of these Mike Benz kind of stories where there's...
A three-letter agency that did something with another three-letter agency that did something with another agency until something bad happened?
Let's see if I can summarize this.
So there was a nonprofit that got federal funding to develop censorship strategies that they boasted about in their progress reports.
Now, I got this from Just the News, the outlet Just the News.
So they boasted in a progress report to the NED, which is the National Endowment for Democracy, that their early tactics had suppressed the reach of Donald Trump's messaging and reduced advertising by 100 million to news outlets deemed to be disinformation spreaders.
Now, they were bragging about it.
While I feel like it should be illegal or it is illegal, so our tax dollars were going to somebody who was suppressing Trump.
It's almost so mind-boggling you can't even understand it.
And I guess the Global Disinformation Index, the GDI, got grants through some other U.S.-based affiliate.
And the grants were paid to develop strategies on how to fight perceived disinformation in foreign countries.
But then apparently they turned that against the United States, against Trump and any Trump-friendly publications.
So that's scary.
And they relied heavily on research from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
I'm just looking at somebody's long message about...
Okay.
Yeah, I'm not going to take any medical advice, so I appreciate it, but don't give me any medical advice, please.
It won't be helpful.
There's a story that says the European Union is going to freeze the Nord Stream pipeline for good.
They're not going to let it be repaired.
So that would be part of sanctioning Russia because Russia thought it was going to rebuild the Nord Stream pipeline that mysteriously blew up.
But now the European Union says, nope, it's not going to be rebuilt.
And they're putting together a package of other...
Of other sanctions, I guess.
We'll see if that makes a difference.
Meanwhile, over in Gaza, Netanyahu has said that the military will take control of all of Gaza.
Now, who didn't know that was going to happen?
I think I told you on practically day one, when they attacked Gaza, that they were going to completely control it.
So now they're just saying it directly that the military will take control of all of Gaza and they will get rid of all the terrorists.
And, you know, they're going to say it'll help them rescue the hostages, but that part will be tough.
Well, Trump keeps saying that Iran had sort of agreed to terms and, you know, was close to something like a deal.
But Iran's foreign minister said, deal or no deal, we're still going to be doing our nuclear thing.
Meaning that it wouldn't matter what they signed.
They're still going to be enriching uranium and getting closer to a bomb.
Anyway, so the source of this is Fox News.
And Secretary Robert Gates was on Face the Nation, and he said, Iran's in a very weak place now, and if there's an opportunity to do a deal on nuclear, this is it.
Are they?
Is Iran in a really weak place now?
I don't know.
So I don't think they're so weak that they're going to give up their uranium enrichment.
I don't see any path for a deal.
Because it can't be true that they don't do uranium enrichment, which is what we want.
At the same time, they definitely do uranium enrichment.
What would be the middle ground between doing it and not doing it?
I know that the United States has said, "Oh, well, we'll provide it for you." But would Iran trust its mortal enemy?
To provide it with the enriched uranium it needs?
I don't think so.
So they're being somewhat rational, even though I don't like it.
All right.
That's all I got for today.
I'm going to keep it short.
I know I shocked you earlier with my little announcement.
If you're just joining, I was telling people that I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has.
It's metastasized to my bones.
It's fatal.
And I don't have too much longer, maybe a few months, probably this summer.
I'll be checking out.
But that's all I got for today.
And I don't think I'm going to talk to the locals' people privately.
Because you're just going to feel bad.
So if you don't mind, I think I'll take a pass on that.
All right, everybody, say goodbye.
Well, I mean, for today.
And I'll talk to the rest of you tomorrow.
I mean, I'll be here tomorrow.
So we don't have to plan too far in advance.
All right.
Stop crying, all of you.
If I'm not crying, you can't cry.
You can't be sadder than I am about my cancer.
All right.
