What is the highlight of human civilization?
There. There we go. Comments o' plenty. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time. But if you want to take this up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a 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 of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Happens now. Go. Everything's working. Well, we got news today. So question number one, now that the funding for USAID is being cut, is that related to the high-level firings we're seeing in the media? Is that why MSNBC is cutting some of their expensive talent? Or is it just a coincidence and they're not doing well, so obviously they have to make some changes?
How does the 'simultaneous sip' work?
I don't know. But as you know, Joy Reid, her show ended. She had her last show, I guess, yesterday. And Rachel Maddow didn't take it well. So Rachel Maddow goes on her own show to complain about Joy Reid being fired. And she said that she's learned so much from her. as we all have, really. We have so much, and she has so much more to teach her, Rachel says. And I'm wondering, what else does Joy Reid have to teach her? I feel like we saw a lot of her lessons, but I think the lesson is you should blame everybody for being a racist. So that would be the big takeaway. And Rachel Maddow said, I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC. Personally, I think it's a bad mistake to let her walk out the door.
It is not my call, and I understand that, but that's what I think. Now it gets better. Here's the payoff. Rachel Maddow said, I will tell you, it's also unnerving to see that on a network where we have two, count them two, non-white hosts in primetime, both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their show. uh-oh, shows, as is Katie Fang on The Weeknd. And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them. It feels indefensible, and I do not defend it. Now, if there's anything that could make me happier than watching Joy Reid being taken off the air, it's watching Rachel Maddow call her own company racist for taking Joy Reid off the air. Now, I think that that's what she learned from Joy Reid. to just call everybody racist all the time.
You don't have to do anything else. That's the entire game. And when you only have that one speed, the only thing that you do is call everything racist, you know that's going to get turned against your own company, right? There wasn't any way that that wouldn't work out poorly, even on paper. If I said to you, all right, here's the deal. There's going to be this network. And the people on the network are going to call everybody and everything racist. Here's what I would have warned the network. You know that's eventually going to be turned on you, right? You can't hire a whole bunch of people who only have one speed. That's racist. That's racist. That's racist. That's racist. That's racist. That's racist.
And then expect that when you make a change that they don't like, that they're not going to call you a racist? Of course they are. Of course they are. It doesn't matter what reasons you have. It doesn't matter at all. Anyway, one of the things that Rachel Maddow probably is suffering from now is that as long as Joy Reid still had a job, Rachel Maddow felt safe because Joy Reid was even crazier. So it made Rachel Maddow look sort of moderate. But once Joy Reid is gone, Now, Rachel Maddow will look like the craziest one on the network. And it's going to make her feel like she might be next. And I'm surprised she wasn't just because of her pay. How did other people take it? Well, Angela Rye, who's a black woman who, which is important to the story. She was a former CNN commentator.
And she calls for a boycott, a boycott of MSNBC. because they fired Joy Reid. And I guess that makes them racist. I don't know. And then Keith Olbermann, you know, my mascot, Keith Olbermann, he said in a post, breaking MSNBC racist purge escalates. Then he names the people who are out. So the left is getting attacked by Keith Olbermann for being racist.
