What is the highlight of this episode?
Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and it's probably the best fun you'll ever have in your entire life. But if you want to take a chance on taking it up to a level that no human can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains. All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, 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. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go. So good. So good.
Who is Robbie Starbuck and what victories has he achieved?
Well, we will, of course, talk about the tariffs and who's got the upper hand, China or the U.S. I'll help you sort that out. But first, some other news, some of it's good. Activist Robbie Starbuck gets another big victory. He's been racking them up lately for a while now. So he's going after big companies that have DEI programs to try to talk the man of being racist out. And you just got another big win with a company called Constellation Brands. And they own Corona, Medela, and Pacifico beer. And last week, Robbie Starbuck did a story exposing their woke DEI policies. And then they said, let's negotiate. And then they made a bunch of promises. So they're no longer going to do DEI. But they made a bunch of other promises that made sense.
They won't be participating in this weird CEI social credit system. They no longer use the term Latinx. They won't be lobbying for legislation that isn't core to their business. Basically all the things you'd want them to do. So another big victory for Robbie Starbuck. Keep an eye on him because he's just rolling up the winds against racism. Finally, speaking of DEI, the Post Millennial is reporting that the top U.S. military official on the NATO military committees was fired and people think probably because of DEI. Now, as you know, whenever a woman in the workplace does something that's never done before, we don't say, oh, somebody did something good.
What happened to Admiral Shoshana Chatfield?
We say, it's the first woman to ever accomplish whatever, or to ever be in this line of work, or to ever achieve this, the first woman. Well, The person who was fired is Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield. And she was one of the few female Navy three-star officers. And she was the first woman to lead the Naval War College. And now she's the first three-star... I'm sorry, it's not funny. But she's the first three-star admiral to be fired for racism. I really shouldn't be laughing at that. Because she is a member of the military and I should show more respect. But what I'm making fun of is not her so much. I'm making fun of the fact that we always say the first woman to ever do anything. And I'm so beyond that. Or the first black American to do a particular kind of job.
And I'm thinking to myself, what are we just figuring out that people can do jobs? Why is that still a thing? Shouldn't we be long past? It's the first Latinx to do something. Yes, everybody can do jobs. It turns out there's sufficient smart people in pretty much every group, and they can do jobs. They can hold jobs. Yeah, amazing. Well, Bill Pulte, who's the U.S. Director of Federal Housing, FHFA, he's been posting on X a bunch of cost-cutting. He's getting busy over there. Now, I don't know how much of this is Doge-related because I don't see Doge, at least in the announcements. So it might be that he's just doing his own thing because he's smart and capable and he knows how to do things. So here's what he just announced. This is just wild.
What unethical conduct was reported at Fannie Mae?
This is one of his announcements. There are a whole bunch of things that look pretty successful there. He said, there's an announcement that Fannie Mae, so one of his entities, fires over 100 employees for unethical conduct, including the facilitation of fraud. How in the world did you catch 100 employees involved in unethical conduct including the facilitation of fraud. And I kind of wonder what the other unethical conduct is. But I'm pretty sure he's got them dead to rights. You know, obviously it's something well-documented or it wouldn't be in the news. Or at least Pulte wouldn't be interested in it unless they had good evidence. So congratulations, Bill Pulte, another superstar in the Trump administration. Apparently, Pete Hegseth got a big win. in Panama.
