In this episode of Coffee with Scott Adams, the host talks about the WNBA, superintelligent AI, and a woman who threw a dildo on the floor of a WNBA game and got away with it.
00:06:14.000Makes me wonder if the big corporations will have to get into the education business because the public schools are not creating anybody who could get a job, basically.
00:06:28.260And they're certainly not going to know how to use AI.
00:06:31.680So, could it be that the one and only way we'll ever take advantage of AI is if the AI companies use their vast wealth to run their own schools, basically.
00:06:50.140Well, there's a report per the Washington Times that says that DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, are vanishing as school board meetings.
00:07:05.100And that's because of Trump trying to purge DEI.
00:07:11.200It goes from the school board meetings, used to mention DEI 38% of the time, but now it's down to 33%.
00:07:21.200To which I say, that's really not much of a difference.
00:07:25.740For something that is pure racial discrimination and illegal at a federal level to only go down from 38% frequency down to 33%, to me, that's a lot more like you can't get rid of it no matter what you do.
00:07:45.760So, I think that DEI will stay clawing to the sides of things to try to survive, and it will.
00:07:58.080And eventually, they're going to wait out Trump.
00:08:05.240And I feel like unless you put a, well, unless you put people in jail for DEI, it will just revive itself, because the incentives for that are pretty high.
00:08:20.080They'll get rewarded locally, but not federally.
00:08:26.700Speaking of which, yeah, so, I don't know, is any of the DEI stuff literally illegal?
00:08:42.280I don't even know what I'm talking about.
00:08:44.200But you couldn't put somebody in jail for pretending that they got rid of DEI at their public school, but secretly just, you know, changing what you call it.
00:09:11.580A federal appeals court, according to the college fix, has upheld a Arkansas ban on critical race theory, the so-called CRT.
00:09:22.300So critical race theory in the classroom tells people that white men mostly are the problem, and white men stole all your stuff and turned you into slaves.
00:09:35.860So you should go to white men to get back all your stuff, and you should punish them for it, basically.
00:10:16.580So that makes it much less impressive if you realize it's over many years.
00:10:21.420But there's stock that's going up, and I guess they've committed to building a factory in the U.S. where they make the glass for the iPhone.
00:10:32.680And I don't know if you saw it, but there was a very cringey point where Tim Cook of Apple was trying to give Trump an award.
00:10:51.420Which was a piece of glass that's a special kind of glass they were going to make in this new facility.
00:15:55.180So, I saw that apparently this story about the Republicans in Texas wanting to redistrict is getting deeper and more interesting than I thought.
00:16:11.220So, it seems, and I mentioned this yesterday, that if the Democrats decide to retaliate, say, all right, we'll do California if you do Texas.
00:16:26.500And then I guess the Republicans would say, oh, yeah, well, we'll do Florida.
00:16:32.540But apparently if you follow that through, you would find that Republicans would likely come out way ahead.
00:16:42.220So, there's a possibility that if the Democrats decide to go, you know, toe-to-toe, and if you do this, we'll do it too, that they'll end up way behind.
00:16:53.160And the worst thing they could do is to legitimize all this new redistricting by doing it themselves because they would just, apparently the numbers work out that they would lose seats in the end.
00:17:08.260And the number of seats they lose could be a lot, could be as many as like 15, 15 seats in 2026.
00:17:20.160But it gets worse because there's this thing called the, what is it called?
00:17:29.820Some kind of voting act that's being decided on by the courts.
00:17:35.400And the idea is that some of the districts were made based on a racial composition.
00:17:43.300And I think the Supreme Court is going to say, hey, you can't do that.
00:17:47.660You can't say, we'll make this a district because it's got all the Hispanics in it and they'll vote a certain way.
00:17:54.900So, if that goes away, the advantage for the Republicans would double from what, you know, from 15 to, you know, something in the high 20s.
00:18:07.020So, almost anything is possible with this story.
00:18:12.660It could completely change the power of the United States forever or, you know, maybe some court will just stop it or maybe somebody did the math wrong.
00:18:25.600That's the other possibility, that they haven't done the math right and we don't really know who comes out of the head.
00:18:31.240Well, apparently, according to the New York Post, Ghislaine Maxwell says that she never saw Trump do anything concerning.
00:18:42.940So, do not expect Ghislaine Maxwell to say anything bad about Trump.
00:18:48.440And, oh, by the way, in a coincidental related story, she would like to be pardoned by Trump.
00:18:55.040So, I'm not sure I would completely believe everything she says about Trump being innocent, although I think he probably is innocent of any of that stuff.
00:19:07.840Because she's a little bit conflicted, she needs him to give her a pardon if he's so inclined.
00:19:16.700All right, I've got a theme for some of the rest of today's podcast, and the theme is two movies on one screen.
00:19:25.660And I'm going to give you a bunch of examples of news that we already talked about, where half of the country has a completely different view of what the movie is that they're watching.
00:19:41.620And the question will be, is one of them always a hoax?
00:19:47.420And is it always the one side who sees things accurately and the other side doesn't?
00:19:52.560Because, you know, both sides believe they're the ones who see it accurate, and the other people are watching a fake movie.
00:20:00.580Who is watching the real movie, and who is watching the hoax?
00:20:05.540Well, we'll start with story number one about Russiagate.
00:20:13.040The movie that I'm watching, which doesn't mean it's the real one, it's just the one I see.
00:20:19.560I see stories like today's just the news, John Solomon.
00:20:25.740And apparently we now have in writing and in video documented cases where Obama got ahead of the intelligence reports and said,
00:20:36.860oh yeah, Putin is trying to help Trump get elected.
00:20:40.640Now that was prior to there even being an intelligence decision.
00:20:49.040So that would suggest that Obama was part of the plot to make it look like Trump was guilty of talking to Putin and colluding or whatever.
00:21:00.280So in my world, the movie I'm watching, and most of you are watching too, we have proven beyond any real doubt that I have,
00:21:10.400I don't have any doubt, that Russiagate and the Russia hoax was coordinated for the purpose of overthrowing the legally elected government.
00:21:20.280And that the people involved were from the top, Brennan and Clapper and Obama and Comey and all those guys.
00:21:36.900But can you believe you live in the same world where tens of millions, maybe more, maybe 100 million people are watching a different movie,
00:21:48.500and you know what's happening in the other movie?
00:21:51.400In the other movie, Putin helped Trump get elected.
00:26:15.760One is that the whole climate change thing is just a bunch of frauds and bad assumptions.
00:26:22.840You know, maybe sometimes, some of them might be well-intended, but, you know, they got just dragged into the groupthink.
00:26:29.740So, my view is that one movie is that it's just a bunch of bullshit and people scamming us for money.
00:26:38.360And some people are just afraid of going against the established belief.
00:26:47.240And then the other movie is that it's a big existential threat.
00:26:52.360And although almost all of their predictions have been wrong, they're going to get one of these days, oh, the next time they're going to be right.
00:28:00.520And then, apparently, Trump had just learned while he was at some press event that the Ukrainian military is now enlisting citizens over the age of 60.
00:28:18.000Now, they say citizens, so that would suggest men and women.
00:28:22.380So, are they really going to enlist, like, 70-year-old women in the military because they're running out of young people?
00:30:04.240Trump's model is if he can come up with some model that the U.S. and Russia think is worth selling, then they can try to get Ukraine in there to agree with it, et cetera.
00:30:17.920But they've got to see if they're close, first of all.
00:30:24.020Because if nothing has changed, why would Putin be interested in peace talks?
00:30:32.860Is Putin just playing a game where he's postponing sanctions?
00:30:37.460So, he's going to do the Iranian thing where you keep talking like you want peace, but you keep acting like you don't, and just see how long you get away with it.
00:30:49.600Because America loves the story that peace is about to break out.
00:30:54.700So, oh, yeah, look at that Trump, he got us in peace.
00:30:57.420So, we want to believe that Trump could make peace happen.
00:31:03.080As long as we really want to believe that, Putin can just tap us down the highway forever.
