# The Scott Adams School | September 3, 2026

☕ **Good morning and welcome to The Scott Adams School!**

Today we’re very happy to welcome back **Steve Cortes**, who joins us to discuss his latest documentary, ***The Basilica or the Mosque***.

These are important times to have serious conversations about what is happening around us, what we are seeing in our communities and where things may be headed. We’re looking forward to hearing what Steve discovered while making the documentary, what he believes Americans need to understand, and where the conversation takes us from there.

We’ll also cover a few other news stories making headlines today because apparently the world remains stubbornly unwilling to give us a slow news day.

☕ Grab your coffee and get ready for the **Simultaneous Sip**.

### 💬 A reminder about our chat

We’re incredibly grateful for the community that continues to show up here every morning.

We want the Scott Adams School chat to remain a **friendly, interesting and respectful place** for everyone.

Disagreement is welcome. Debate is welcome. Different opinions are welcome.

**Antagonism and personal attacks are not.**

The **Scott Adams moderation team is actively watching the chat** to make sure our hosts, our guests and, just as importantly, **everyone participating in the conversation** is treated respectfully.

If someone becomes personally insulting, hostile or repeatedly antagonistic toward a host, guest or another person in the chat, the moderators will act accordingly.

Challenge the argument. Question the idea. Offer a better frame. Just keep it respectful.

We want people to come here, have their coffee, enjoy the conversation and leave the chat better than they found it.
