Episode 2036 Scott Adams - More Outrage By Me In Case You Need Extra, Best Republican Strategy & more

you do good morning everybody and welcome to the most canceled content in all of America and I know you're here for some of that we'll talk about the news first and then we'll get to more outrages do you think I could say something that's even more problem making and provocative than what I've already done I probably can I probably can I've got one uh I've got one in the chamber so you want to wait around for that one just wait for the one that's in the chamber okay so um if you'd like your experience to be maximized and I know well let me look at you yes yes you're that kind of person you are the kind of person who does not settle for a below par live stream like you see so often other places no you want a good experience a maximum experience and for that all you need is a company or a glass of tanker telephone Joker plastic vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and today it comes turbocharged with two white boards two go all right well some people told me this week there there are many opinions about me and some people said to me Scott you just did the dumbest thing you could ever do not talk like that in public you cannot say those things in public now I thought for a while that might be the dumbest thing anybody said in public and then I saw I don't know if this is fake news and I I'm sorry I'm just gonna have some fun with this so no no bad feelings but can somebody tell me if this really happened did Tim Poole go on Fox News and say that the woke agenda ended his sex life did that actually happen can somebody confirm that that's a real story because I looked at it I can't tell it's fake right is it fake does anybody know is is this not perfect it's perfect because you can't tell let's go private here yeah I have no idea I have no idea if that's real I saw there was some uh little hashtag now if he's at it I'm sure there's some context there that you know ties it all together but I love the fact that that got taken probably out of context I assume it's out of context but I don't know I just love that story I'm not making fun of Tim Poole I just love the fact that he's that allegedly and I don't know if it's real let me be very clear I don't know that that's real but it was trending today I'd love to if somebody knows tell me tell me if that really happened but I love that I can't tell the difference that's what's fun about it because I I don't know I don't know that might be real but it might not be it's I'm going to say that's a 50 50.

yeah and by the way I I liked him I recommend his show by the way these show is very good all right well I was looking for you to confirm her tonight but I don't think you know as new know either all right um I'm going to suggest based on anecdotal vibes and this idea comes not directly from me but it feels right but somebody who's real tapped into the Republican world is telling me this and I want to see if you're getting the same feel if any of you are Republicans so this is sort of a question for republicans the biggest issue by far for Republican window women you say it's not private let me check there we go what's your limited yeah it's weird that that doesn't work the first try I have to do it twice thank you but uh at least one smart person is reading the room and saying that the most important issue by far at a at a human level when you're talking to real people not when you're on Twitter but when you're talking to real people what do you think the biggest issue is just by far that just throw it out there what for Republicans what's the main thing I want to see if you're all on the same page okay your answers are all over the place from economy to inflation now certainly all those things are important but anecdotally and I'd love to see a poll on this but anecdotally the moms are protecting their children and that's that's the primary energy at the at the individual level that might be the primary energy because that's what people ask about right if you say hey let's go talk to a bunch of Republicans you see what comes out of their mouths is not necessarily inflation even though it's a huge issue right even fentanyl all these issues if you just ask them to say what's on your mind it's not going to be fentanyl you know unless they had a direct experience as I did but I think it's the children and I don't know how you could program against that so if if Republicans ran on Save the kids who beats that who beats save the kids when people are primed to understand that that's the real problem because save the kids handles a whole bunch of stuff it handles Fentanyl right Sentinel is part of save the kids you know there's some of them are older kids but they're still somebody's children and it it goes to uh fixing schools and fixing schools would fix what systemic racism it would be the the biggest lever you could push to fix racism So when you say save the kids if you do it in any kind of sensible way there are a whole bunch of topics that get fixed at the same time have you heard Professor Scott Galloway talking about The Lost Generation of young men the current situation with dating is you know women are going for the top 10 percent of men and the rest are you know left to I guess porn and masturbation and you know empty lives but as Scott Galloway correctly points out a lot of that is because the young men are not growing up to be worthy partners they're just not developed in a way that some woman's going to want to say give me some of that and I think there's something to that stop the whole story but there's a lot to that so this this whole uh this whole save the children just bubbles up into almost everything how would you save the economy well you got your short run stuff which probably we do roughly correctly but your long run is just education am I right we'll adjust the kids in the long run your your economy is dead unless you educate kids better and get rid of the Fentanyl so it's basically you have to solve the kid problems to solve the economy so save the kids ends up being a really save us all you know save the kids I'm sure that the left would say what about what about the climate and that's easy we love the climate but we don't want to do something that makes things worse you know so it's easy to counter any argument against it I don't know but put that into your thinking cap and maybe just do a little observing about what people bring up unprompted because it's the bringing it up unprompted that makes it kind of stand out education does not mean what you think it does well I like uh there's a good point uh I like to broaden education to mean any kind of training anything that's useful for your life especially your financial life but also anything that's useful for your sanity and happiness as well that should all be education all right let's talk about Doug imhoff the so-called uh second gentleman he's not even the first gentleman he's the second gentleman I don't know how you you rank uh adult men in 2023 but apparently if you had been married to a female president you'd be the first gentleman if you're married to a vice president who's female you're the second gentleman and if the vice president that you're married to owns a pet you're something like the third creature you know because the Pet's going to be a little higher than you let's face it so you got to get that right well Doug MLF the the second gentleman is in the news by saying there's too much toxic masculinity and uh apparently he is selling himself as someone who not selling this that's selling is just a jerk word like I hate myself for saying that withdraw withdraw he's simply stating he's not selling anything he's just stating that he thinks there's too much toxic masculinity but apparently he has escaped the curse of toxic masculinity is pretty happy about it and a lot of people wanted to argue with him about you know masculinity and blah blah blah here's my take why are we arguing about that that's arguing over a word why are we arguing over a word like or two words toxic masculinity how about how about a high ground move I've told you that The High Ground maneuver is what you say that ends all arguments all right watch me end the debate how about everybody can just be different that's the end of the debate That's The High Ground maneuver if you come into a conversation where people are like me me me toxic masculinity no you don't have toxic masculinity no I think I think Kamala is your boss oh you should not be saying that oh we need more toxic masculinity yes we need less toxic myself and then you come in and say well how about we just treat everybody as an individual any problem anybody anybody raise your hand anybody have a problem with just treating everybody as a individual for once anybody that's that's the end so that's an example of The High Ground maneuver once you learn to do High Ground maneuvers you win every conversation you'll win them all because you just say the thing that nobody disagrees with that's sort of a higher level thought it just ends it uh you may you may be noticing that I'm doing something along those lines so far not completing the task but keep watching keep watching all right um speaking of Kamala Harris I would like to add a hypothesis to the mix but I asked this question on social media now this is just a Twitter poll so don't put too much scientific faith in it because there's none Twitter polls are just people who answer the polls that's about it so the Twitter poll I asked this question if an acquaintance tells you they belong to a wine club what do you assume are the odds that person is a functional alcoholic and you can answer that question too if you know if you have an acquaintance who's a member of a wine club what are the odds that person is a functional alcoholic and by that I mean you know they have wine for dinner but you know every night and you know they have wine on weekends and wine for lunch fairly frequently but they're functional they have jobs and everything else so I'm saying estimates from 10 to 90 percent I would go closer to 90 percent my observation and it took me years to find this pattern is that the people who are functional alcoholics build a lifestyle around that so that there's a reason to be drinking every day that doesn't look like the reason is you're a functional alcoholic you've seen that oh you've seen it yeah they're the people who like to entertain do you know any people who like to entertain usually functional alcoholics who are covering their track now there are so many functional alcoholics I don't have a complaint about it frankly like as long as they're not driving it's okay with me I mean it's her life so I'm not judging I'm just saying it's one of those patterns that if you've not noticed it yet keep an eye on it keep an eye on that pattern people will build a lifestyle to cover up you know whatever they're trying to cover up if you had a foot fetish is there a greater chance that you would work in a large department store woman's Footwear Place probably because that would be a you know great place to cover up your you're a fetish so I only ask this because a friend of mine who knows a great deal about addicts and alcoholics I won't say an expert but pretty close to an expert on this uh on this topic says that the reason that Kamala does that embarrassing cackling when she's speaking not her normal cackle so if you notice there's two kinds of cackles there's the the everyday nervous cackle that she uses all the time but there have been a few times when her happiness about ordinary things seems unusual like her love for the fact that you could charge your phone on a school bus like that didn't look like normal cackle that looked like alcohol now I'm not this is not my opinion because I didn't have this observation but somebody who knows a lot about this world said oh yeah those speeches where she's she's talking like that and she's too happy about things that you shouldn't be happy about that's obviously drunk now once you said it you know once I'd heard it because I hadn't really that wasn't really high up on my list of possible explanations for what we're seeing but once you hear it I said to myself hey I wonder if anybody thinks that Kamala is an alcoholic or or even just drinks more than she should for her job during the daytime I suppose you know if you're a vice president you probably shouldn't drink ever should you because isn't there a greater than zero chance that you'll be running running the country in an emergency within an hour right like would you ever want Hillary Clinton in an office knowing that she likes her wine yeah no matter how much she has I don't want a semi-inubriated president sitting there like that was one thing that I really think was underappreciated about Trump you could wake Trump up any part of the 24 hours and he would pop up and he'd still be Trump all day long like I don't think he's ever anything else he's just he's just always happened 24 hours love them or hate him he was ready to go who is ready to go and sometimes that might be more important than you know your specific preferences um anyway that's I think that was a great underrated element of trump that he didn't drink and drink and by the way you're all noticing that the trend to stop drinking at least on Twitter looks huge are you all noticing that the number of people who were bragging about no longer drinking not alcoholics some of them are but mostly just ordinary people who found out the alcohol is bad for you you know I haven't had alcohol for years so that's a really good trend you know I hope you're not switching out to fentanyl that would be bad all right um so here's tying this all together once it was suggested to me and then I got primed you know once your brain gets primed it's all you can see so confirmation bias started to kick in and I said to myself I think I'll look online and see if anybody has noted that Kamala Harris drinks too much in their opinion or any rumors about too much alcohol or anything like that and I didn't see anything like that so just to be clear I didn't see anybody speculating I didn't see any reports of her drinking too much the only thing that came up is that she belongs to a wine club next topic uh Rasmussen um asked people about the age of the presidents and what age is too much and uh fit well let's let's see how well you're doing this they asked people uh how many people think 86 years old is too old to be president does anyone want to guess I'll ask you it this way how many people think uh it's okay to be 86 years old and pre-president you're roughly what do you think yes you're good how do you do this are you all mind readers how do you all know the right answer without even without being told you're so close it's 27 20 of 27 of those asked said that yeah 86 is not too old to be president what are you talking about 86 is just getting started say one quarter of the respondents yeah have if anybody is new to me I think there's probably more new people here than usual if you're new to my live streams I've noted that 25 of the public about will get every question wrong every poll question you can depend on 25 to have the most ridiculous opinion just completely batshit crazy on any question now the thing is I don't think it's the same 25 percent I I think it it depends on the question which is the funny part I don't think it's just the same 25 dumb people it doesn't feel like it but maybe it is who knows uh well the most important thing uh well the second most important thing the most important thing is did Tim Poole really say that that's the most important question of the day but the second most the question of the day is what the hell is up with me and why am I still talking to people and why am I not fully canceled and what's going on anyway so let's talk about that if you don't think I can offend you more than I have well I take that challenge challenge accepted the see how offended you can get um uh I will make the following claim that no one who knows the context of my inflammatory comments from last week you all know what I'm talking about I don't have to summarize by any but here's my summary no one who knows the context and is also a normal person is angry at me either black or white nobody who is a normal person and I'm going to Define normal by excluding the people who are not normal in a moment 100 of the normal people the non-professionals just normal people black and white agree with me once they hear the full context that's my experience right so far I have only agreement of people who understand the context now there are a lot of people who don't understand the context and they quite reasonably don't agree with me which should be no surprise but the ones who don't agree with me fall into the following categories peacock's race Drifters social signalers dopamine gooners and my personal political enemies and then people who were fooled by the fake news it's not fake news because the quote is exactly accurate what's fake is that when you take out the context it completely changes what was going on from horrible from helpful to horrible and if you didn't know that well you know it's really not your fault because the fake news was not feeding you in a useful context of course so I'd have to say that there's something positive happening and here's another positive thing happening um I believe that now the conversation has already expanded in a useful way here's what I mean the things that I said are the things that I'm being told by a lot of people privately yeah we all think that they may not be exactly agreed with what I said but some version of uh yes you know you're speaking the truth we're all thinking it and I'm not sure everybody is interpreting what I said quite the way they're quite accurately but there still is like this massive agreement this this is a conversation that is helpful there's a helpful conversation now because anybody who even brings up this topic will be fully canceled as I believe I proved you will be fully canceled for this topic but do you realize what I've created I've created a situation where people who can't say what I said can go on television and say well Scott Adams said what do you think about that do you see what happened it's now allowable conversation because you can attribute it to me I did that I did that for you you can now say this isn't my opinion but I'd like to hear your feedback Scott Adams said that stupid racist bastard Scott Adams said that damn freaking bastard who is more racist than any racist I've ever known says this what do you think about that and now you can have a conversation now it'll still be awkward a lot of a lot of work to do but you now have more free speech you just have to be a little clever about it so you don't get canceled like I did yeah and I'm also sensing that there's a growing willingness to talk freely because when somebody goes first this is the whole point of you know why the general should be in the front line sometimes I don't think that's always a good idea but you know your leaders should lead from the front sort of thing now I wasn't trying to lead anybody like I was trying to deepen the conversation I was trying to provoke of course I was trying to provoke anybody who thought that was like a literal serious statement should examine their reading comprehension but of course I was trying to provoke I was trying to get people angry mission accomplished I didn't feel I was that persuasive but apparently once the fake media got involved um and like I said among the people who were mad at me are my political enemies I believe it's fair to say that a hundred percent of the political right including people and you know news related organizations did not think I should be canceled what's that tell you is this about race is it about race if only Democrats want to cancel big you don't think there are any people in the Republican party at all who know what racism looks like including the black Republicans you think they don't know what it looks like or how to deal with it you know productively no it it started out as me being provocative but once it gained steam it just became political it's just that they can hide that just just the way a alcoholic can hide their alcoholism by forming a wine club the Press can can get rid of their biggest political enemy and by the way I believe that's true because most of you have watched me twist The Narrative like almost nobody can except Trump trump can Trump can just have his way with the narrative like that that's why I've been talking about him because he has those skills but there are very few people in the talking out loud political world who can reframe something as effectively as I can which is why my book that was just uh canceled my new book is all about reframing things so what I'm doing now is an example of what's in the book but in the book it would be more reframing for your own purposes I'm reframing for public purpose which is really dangerous if you haven't noticed it's really dangerous don't do it yeah you know I don't mind doing it because here's another thing I've been teaching you for years you've heard me say this a lot of times if you want to succeed at anything anything here's the formula for Success this is that most summarized formula for success if there's something you want to succeed at find out the price and then pay it this is the best advice you'll ever have so I wanted to talk about this this topic so I thought what's the price of that well the price of that is the risk of full cancellation and then I paid it have you heard me complain yet nope nope I looked at the menu I looked at the price and then I ordered that meal right in front of you I just paid the price that's all that happened now I wasn't expecting it would be this high but that was on the menu like it was obvious that it could be it was quite obvious that that was a you know pretty high possibility I didn't know but certainly I paid that price now am I sad that I paid that price I haven't experienced that yet I have not experienced any feeling of regret which might surprise you because this is something that you don't go around once you've paid the price I just bought a ticket to drive right through the middle of it I'm going to bore a hole through the narrative because I paid the price I bought the ticket the rest of you can watch I don't recommend participating but just watch all right um so I believe there's already a public benefit that is a benefit and would you agree with this statement it would be a benefit to black white American you know Asian Americans Hispanic name your category anytime you can broaden the conversation on the most important topic in my opinion this is the most important topic in the country right now um you're probably improving your odds of a good outcome all right I'm laughing at your comment but I'm not going to say it um all right here's a here's another thing so Andy know um is publishing a video and apparently the City of Springfield Ohio and the the context for this is all these videos of violence you know individual violence is creating a narrative in our heads that is super super dangerous because visual persuasion is the most important and if you see three or four anecdotes about anything you don't even care about the data right would you agree that if you see some visual anecdotes of some horror you'll never care about the data like so it's the same problem that white people have said about the black lives matter probably the biggest issue about police brutality if their videos of police brutality you think it's happening everywhere because visual persuasion is so strong but was there actually a massive problem of of the police targeting black people in particular for violence I don't know how big that was but our impression of it is Big because we saw videos of it and we just kept seeing it you know the George Floyd stuff if you just watch that a million times like most of us did it looks like you know he's one of thousands of people or whatever but so visual persuasion is very racist and misleading and at the moment there's this uh whole bunch of uh racist videos of only black people beating up white people and Asian Americans now what is anybody going to think forget about the data forget about the data what is everybody going to think if they're news sources on their social media are feeding them this constant stream of things that would make them uh unless a reflexive persuaded way not a thinking way but sort of a reflexive way to cause people to have a bad feeling about Black Americans terribly unfair and what makes it worse is obviously the social media algorithms because the thing that's really bothering me is that if we didn't have obviously racist social media algorithms that are I think clearly suppressing all the Asian American and white kids beating up black people that just makes the it makes the problem appear one-sided so I think we have to go all the way down to the social media algorithm level to and maybe Elon Musk can fix that and Zuckerberg could look into it and fix that so that we're served up at least an equal amount of white kids beating up black kids and Asian Americans like targeting black Americans on the street and stuff because if we've got something that was more like balanced then it's not going to look all racist what do you mean that doesn't exist no it must exist because we wouldn't be talking about it this way if it didn't exist obviously is this obviously it exists so all of you racists who are just tweeting around these violent things of black people beating up other people just know that you're working with the racist algorithm and between the racist algorithm and you you're not making anything better so just be aware of that Larry Elder uh did a video in which here's the first part of the video so you'll get the sense of it he said quote rather than thank Adams for saying out loud what clearly a lot of people feel including a lot of black people so we could have you know a healthy discussion about this Adams is being hounded shut down and canceled now Larry Elder I endorsed for governor of California and by the way I think he would have been great that when when people tell the story of me do they tell the story about how I supported Obama for president and I think he did okay you know nobody's perfect so I'd have things to criticize but I thought he was a solid president I backed yay before I realized what his mental state was exactly but I thought you know wouldn't that be fun to have a president yay I've backed Larry Elder for governor because I thought he was the best one running that's it I just thought he was the best one running I've backed uh I am backing Vivek ramaswamy who I think is Indian American I think and do you think that context was ever mentioned by the Press how many of the stories you read about me you said that I'd helped black lives matter try to organize their messaging how many how many reported that I re that I supported strongly supported against the will of much of my audience it cost me money um reform uh prison reform right that was not so popular among Republicans so I lost audience supporting that and knew it did it anyway uh how many how many know that I uh once blogged in favor of reparations not the way it's being described now where it's just a cash payment but some kind of a grand let's say agreement among black Americans and everybody else to do something that would maybe mostly help black Americans but it would help everybody poor and then you've got something then you've got something everybody can say all right all right I see how this mostly affects black Americans but that's because they were in the biggest hole so that's fine you know as long as we're talking about income it's okay if it's racist because it would be racist wouldn't it if you if you did something that helped all poor people but the nature of it is that uh Black Americans were in a deeper hole so it would it would help them more than it would help other people that would be racist by definition now that would be positive racism in my opinion was that would anybody disagree that would be a policy which affects races disproportionately you know you're doing it you know you're doing it I'm going to do this policy it will affect the races disproportionately um but it's a good thing to do are there other cases where there are things that are purely racist but they're a good thing to do can you think of any other examples something that you would say well you know technically that's racist but it's pretty good thing to do all right here's one affirmative action historically so my take on affirmative action is that while it was very bad for my personal career I lost two careers because I was white and male in my corporate days even then I was not opposed to affirmative action I hated how it affected me but I was not opposed to it because and the reason I wasn't opposed to it is that I couldn't figure out an alternative you see the problem when things are really unequal yeah the tool to fix it is a sledgehammer and the sledgehammer breaks stuff more than you want to break right but it's the only tool you have like what else are you gonna do what else are you gonna do but as things get a little closer to equal but before they're completely equal the right time is to reassess it because you're going to start to create more ill will then you're benefiting by you know correcting some historical imbalances so I think that affirmative action was racist by Design by intention and that would anybody disagree with that is there anybody who thinks that affirmative action is not racist by intention by Design in fact if it were not racist it wouldn't work the entire point of it is to be racially racial preference is the entire point of it right so I would contend that there are racist things which are the ones you want because it's how you defeat um racism let's say the tax code let's say the tax code was super favoring one group over another which is always the case even if you don't want it to it just feels like no matter how you create anything it always has a disproportionate impact on somebody right so suppose you correct and suppose you correct a disproportionate problem with some group how can you correct that without shifting resources back and forth or favoritism to another racial group now it might be a very good thing to do but it's going to be racist because it's treating the groups differently and then having the policy that represents your different treatment of the groups now if your point is to help a group that needs a hand up that's a good conversation to have and I'm always open to that all right this is this point is going to get deeper um Kevin Costa who I'm taking as probably a black man on Twitter just based on the profile and the conversation he said about me and my statement quote he was clearly being openly and purposely racist would you say that's true was I being my provocative comments were they clearly and openly and purposely racist yeah I said they were I said that so he's arguing with me by agreeing with me I'm saying yes yes right right Holger it was totally racist and it was meant to be that way would you like to hear the context now do you think that I was trying to make things worse for black Americans how many think I was trying to make things worse for black Americans anybody oh somebody says yes some of you are saying yes I wasn't expecting that all right most of the answers are now the people who know me the most know the answer is no if you weren't listening to the opening context I could see how you'd say yes all right so people say yes don't know me as well um but people who know me on locals they they're a little closer to the answer so here's how I explain this about being openly racist and we're going to the whiteboards here are some things which I would argue are openly racist and at the same time you like them right not everybody I'm saying these these are the things that are socially approved but they're clearly racist uh ESG CRT Black History Month affirmative action Dei College admissions if there's any preferences in those and reduced free speech for some people I think Society generally thinks that white people should not have the same level of free speech and I think a lot of people would agree with that they'd go oh if those white people are saying whatever they want like our narrative will be impacted now here's the one that I think is interesting voting for Obama I voted for Obama in large part because he was black did anybody else vote for him because he was black like it wasn't the only reason I think he was qualified and I think he did a good job unlike my audience I think he did a reasonably good job yeah and and I I respect your disagreement on Obama but here's why here's why I and yeah I see a lot of people saying yes a Black America voted for him by overwhelming numbers right and white Americans voted more for Obama than I think John Kerry and I believe that a lot of us had the same thing in mind you know I won't read other minds but I speculate that a lot of people thought like I did wouldn't it be good to finally have a black president so we don't have to hear any more complaints about how a black man can't succeed now obviously there's still plenty of you know structural systemic racism but isn't it good for the country that we've had a black president would anybody disagree with that like forget about Obama as a personality just ask yourself is the United States you know the the Melting Pot country better or worse for having had a black president who was popular by the way okay now uh I I I'm pretty sure that was good for the country now at the same time racism went through the roof or or I should say racial Harmony Drop Like a Rock during Obama and then continue to drop so nobody fixed it so it's possible that something about the Obama era made things worse I don't know exactly what policies you think it was policies could be all right but I would say that voting for Obama if you were voting for him to to make sure that we had a black president finally that's why I did it plus he was qualified I thought um I thought that was racist was that let me ask you was it racist for me to vote for Obama in large part because of his color was that racist how would that not be racist somebody says no well okay yeah you probably have an argument there if I heard it I'd probably agree with you well I would say that's racist I did that I did this racist thing I'm guilty um how about uh Black History Month is Black History Month good or bad for black people some of you say bad let's see you think I'm going to say it's bad I don't know I don't know I don't think it's bad I I feel like Black America you know went through enough they get a month if you have the experience of black Americans From Slavery to today yeah you could have a month like I don't have a problem with that but it is racist doesn't it this is a racism I totally agree with I'm totally in that's fine let's be let's be as educated as possible about our true history now you know you might say hey you know how about a woman's History Month well we have that too we do have a woman's History Month I don't know how many other history months there are but aren't they all either sexist or racist all those months are sexist and racist right they're totally sexist totally racist I don't disagree with either one of them I don't have a problem with them so there's a whole bunch of stuff uh and like I said affirmative action at the moment I think we should reconsider but historically I favor This Racist totally racist activity and uh yeah and the other ones you might like I mean you might like ESG and you know by the way does everybody even know what ESG is do I have to Define that let me explain the SG ESG is uh let's say environmental social and governance and the two things in there are for corporations are being judged by entities that judge them including Black.

Rock you know this multi-trillion dollar Financial behemoth so this huge financial entity Black.

Rock is pushing this idea that companies should be evaluated for their ESG quality so the the E for environmental they have to be reducing their carbon footprint and then the social and governance is they should have diversity at all levels up to the top of the organization now the companies that push ESG um are they happy that I'm one of the most noted critics of the thing that is the operating system of their company right now they have ESG so management of newspapers do you think they they were opposed to ESG the management of newspapers or more importantly the the in many cases the hedge funds that own the groups of newspapers because that's how newspapers tend to be owned by big Financial entities that own like a chain yeah so the people so the people that I've uh pledged to attack the ESG people because it's so harmful for business it's harmful for everything it's harmful for society but business in particular do you think there's any coincidence that the biggest critic of those things got canceled by the people who promote those things it's not the only reason but when you see who's who's opposing me and canceling me you have to ask about their other motives the the thing I said you know maybe it was worth canceling According to some people but that's not why they did it that's not why why they did it is to shut me up right why they did it is to shut me up that's why shut me up in a variety of ways but ESG would be one of them you know I I was reminded yesterday that when Dilbert was first introduced into newspapers it was very difficult to get the newspaper to buy it because it made fun of management uh and I've forgotten how you know quaint things were back then make you don't remember but Dilbert was a controversial uh it was a controversial strip it was controversial because the main managers and leaders look like idiots and the managers and leaders were not on board with that idea because it allowed the staff to mock the people above them it made it easier for them just hey look at this comic uh so the people who canceled me as anybody stopped to think that the people who canceled me the management of the newspapers are the people that I've been mocking for 34 years like viciously mocking them do you think they didn't want a reason to cancel me even if they thought it was funny they'd probably like well a little less of that would be good all right here's a second the second summary people who don't know the context of my controversy have asked me to summarize it and so I'm borrowing this but this is a basically it I said some version of you should avoid people that the society has primed to be racist against you some people said wait a minute Scott you did not add that Nuance the first time you said it and then I said yes that's why I clarified and then they said clarification is not allowed and I said what and they said no if you meant to clarify it you would have done that in the first place and I said no the reason that there's a word called clarification is that there are all kinds of reasons that you don't say it in the first place or sometimes you don't know that somebody needed that clarification I actually got two people on on social media to argue in public in public while people were watching they're clarifying your comments uh is not to be accepted can you believe that two people like adult human beings argue that clarifying is a bad idea that that that's how you know you've won an argument you can't win an argument harder than that yeah clarify clarifying is a bad idea what all right so here's the summary avoid people who are primed primarily by things like ESG and the narrative and CRT and everything else so we should avoid people who are primed to be racist against you the media said well that's a racist thing to say and then nobody would have cared except there's an entire industry of complainers they have different reasons so you got your race scriptures dopamine gooners victims of fake News the people who didn't know the context and my political enemies the newspapers they're literally my political enemies so uh then the people who heard it from all of these people they responded as exactly you'd imagine so that's what happened so people who missed the context that's the cliff notes version there's a much deeper richer more interesting context but the wine club with an H that's funny all right so my statement is this um I don't require erasmussen poll to clarify my lived experience my lived experience is that the race relations are being poisoned by the media narrative that white people are the source of their problems now I don't argue with the fact that white people are the source of problems I just argue that if that's how you focus you only make things worse and that focusing you know on the future and how to work together and you know solutions that everybody likes education being the easiest one because there's lots of agreement black and black and conservative at least there's lots of agreement and more more Democrats in general all right so my lived experience is that black Americans are being poisoned by The Narrative and while I can't be sure it's true any reasonable person would see the poisoning happening because the poisoning is obvious and on the surface right that's not an opinion is it would you say that's an opinion or is that just an observation that you all say that the that the media narrative is anti-white and very clearly at the moment very anti-white so my comment is that anti-white is looking backwards and that everybody who looks backwards gets a worse result than everybody who looks forward it's on average so if you keep a backwards looking you know victimization who caused it whose problem it is that can be useful in the short run and I wouldn't I wouldn't abandon that but if it's your primary strategy for the future it can't work they can't work at all so when Black America figures out that I'm trying to unlock them from effectively a brainwashing situation which by the way isn't because you're black like we're all we're all brainwashed into our own bubble so there's that's not a racial comment everybody's being brainwashed into their own little bubble and it's not their fault because no normal even smart person can get out of a brainwashed bubble it doesn't work that way you can't really think your way out of the bubble like you can't just think Carter I'm out of the bubble usually it's some external event that knocks you out of your bubble right or something maybe you did mushrooms or something but you don't get out of your bubble just by reading the news that's not going to help so some people think they can there might be some exceptions all right so here's Here's Where We Are if you say that what I said was racist I agree I agreed from the start by the way I never disagreed but I will say that if you're ignoring the context that you can't fix any racist situation without also appearing to be and maybe actually being racist meaning that the the we should probably make a distinction between you know racism with the capital are and little racism right doing things to try to correct a worse racism with something that's also racist that's like the small R trying to defeat the Big R I'm okay with that I'm okay with a little racism as an antidote to a lot of racism because don't you end up with less racism if you could spend some money to make some money and make more than you spent wouldn't you do that so being accused of a racist is just part of my expense is part of what I'm paying but if you're arguing about the meaning of the word it's a diversion from the argument so here are the ways that now and I think you're all aware that at least half of the world wants to really really avoid the actual topic have you noticed that that most of the energy is about avoiding the topic there's almost no energy on the point I was making all the energy is going sideways so here's here's what happens to the energy people saying uh all right a bunch of examples the diversions first diversion is that Rasmussen pole you looked at uh it's not enough people to be a good sample well uh first of all there's nothing about my argument that depends on the poll I used the poll as a jumping off point for the conversation so I don't depend on it but I will say about the poll that even though it was just like a hundred some black people were interviewed and only 60 some uh had a problem with the phrase it's okay to be white now is that enough people now what most people don't realize is that there was only an eight percent margin of error meaning that even if it's off by eight percent more or less it wouldn't change the point it doesn't change the point if you're off eight percent yeah well it's not a point about an exact number it's a point it's a point about too many people being primed by the public by the by the media to have a negative opinion about white people just too many now let me ask you this and then other people said that the question was a racist some kind of Neo-Nazi question or something so suppose the question had been different my take on the question is it okay to be white is that a black racist could still say yes to that what do you think I think a black racist could still say yeah it's okay to be white but you're all screwing us and you're all doing bad things right suppose the question had been asked this way um do you believe that white Americans are the cause of past and continuing systemic racism what would have been the percentage of black Americans who would say white people are the cause of past and the primary cause of continuing systemic racism because even I think that's true even I think that's true but the difference is it doesn't make me think uh doesn't make me think less of white people do you know why because I don't know any white people doing that I don't know any white people who are plantation owners not a single one I don't know any white person who's in any intentional or even accidental way perpetuating systemic racism I don't even know one now they may be doing it by inaction but you know then it gets a little more conceptual but I don't know any white people like that anyway um let's see other diversions are that I'm a racist for pointing out the correlation and I use the word correlation and I was quoted back for saying correlation I'm a racist for pointing out the correlation between uh crime and the density of black population now what I said was that the causation is systemic racism and that got turned into oh you're saying there's a correlation between black density and crime therefore you're a racist which is the opposite of what I said I said that systemic racism which I also believe is primarily formed by and you know and enhanced by white people almost by definition um I think that's the cause that's the cause of black poverty it's the main contributor to Black poverty and then poverty causes the crime now there's nobody who disagrees with my statement that there's a high correlation the correlation is caused by history and the correlation is that poor people have more crime who disagrees with that but it's part of the diversion to avoid the point right we're gonna we're gonna attack you on that thing here's another one uh well the people who oppose clarification that was funny and and then the complaint that it's okay to be white is a racist meme that just seems to be trying to avoid the point because like I said the poll and the question were not important to my opinion it was my lived experience and I'm joining that now with all the people who are um were sort of chipping in not chipping and chiming in so a lot of white people are coming to me and Whispering some version of you know I think it is okay to be white uh it's not a racist thing and a lot of white people are telling me privately that they're feeling increasingly victimized by the narrative but also the video showing you know the the crime makes everything worse uh somebody says crime is a tribal trait well no it isn't crime is a tribal trait I don't think there's any evidence for that uh it seems to me everybody was rich does less crime than everybody who's poor for obvious reasons if you're rich stealing stuff is all downside no upside all right it's easy to be honest when you're rich uh I can tell you that for sure all right yeah I think the it's okay to be white is the is the question that would get you the least amount of racism in the answer am I wrong the way at Rasmussen asked it is it okay to be white I think a lot of people who actually had bad feelings about white people would still say yeah it's okay to be white but you're also the cause of all our problems I don't want to be around a community of people who think that I like right now in my current existence and the cause of their problems and I would argue that nobody disagrees with that okay El Chapo is an example of a rich criminal but El Chapo can't change because he can't really retire when you're ahead of a cartel I'm pretty sure retirement means getting killed yeah you didn't have a choice um which is why I think you could actually convert the cartels I think you could actually convert them to an honest industry uh like if there were any way to do that because they would want to get out of the crime business once they're rich if you're the head of a cartel you had a billion dollars isn't the thing you'd want more than anything to not be a criminal anymore like somehow you know launder that into the legal world so you don't have to worry but there's no way to do that be great if there was all right um then I asked this question on Twitter so this is another unscientific Bowl I said does canceling me make race relations in America better or worse because that was the point of it right the point of canceling me is to make race race relations better otherwise why do it what do you think nine percent said it made it better fifty percent said it made it worse 40 said no change well I think most of the world didn't notice because most of the world doesn't even read the news they don't even know any of this happened yeah too early to tell it's hard for me to imagine it made it better I don't know maybe maybe because it made this conversation possible and made it better I'll give you that all right let's see if I missed anything nope all right you may have noticed that my social media numbers are way up my Twitter numbers and my live stream numbers or through the roof lately and I think it's because this is a topic people are interested in it looks like and I think people are interested in two reasons uh they're interested in two reasons one is they want to see if I can survive this is sort of watching it like a movie you know to see if I can get off a prison or Island does it feel like I'm on prison or Island right now it's a little metaphor I use that I always have this belief about myself and I I recommend this to the rest of you it's a it's good to have a story of yourself if nobody's told you that it's one of the best self-help things you can ever have have a story of yourself my story I talk about this a lot it's called prisoner Island and in my story I'm dropped on an island let's say I'm falsely accused of a crime that makes my story better falsely accused of a crime and they drop me on an island of only prisoners on day one they beat me to near death day two they beat me and raped me day three same as one and two and repeat but if you come back in a year everybody who touched me will be dead and I will be the king of prisoner Island that's my story that no matter how bad it gets I'm gonna be on top you just it might take a while it might not be instant but it's going to happen now because I run that story in my mind when I run into problems as everybody does I say to myself I just got dropped on prisoner Island first week not so good but wait just wait so a lot of you wanted to see the movie where I was dropped on prisoner Island here I am prisoner Island and uh do you think I'll make it off how many of you think that I can beat the odds and make it off of prisoner Island now the cancellation will be complete but making it off prison and all it means coming out better than better than he left well we'll see the one thing you can be sure of is that the you know the negative feelings about me will remain forever because people don't look into context context is not a big thing on the internet so forever I will have this you know this over me but I don't really care about the political gooners race Drifters victims of fake news and my political enemies and I'm impervious to embarrassment did you ever wonder yourself Scott were you marinating in the shame and embarrassment of this situation not even for a second honestly it never occurred to me it never actually occurred to me that embarrassment or shame or anything would be part of this like why I said what I meant I think is useful I knew what the price was and then I paid it I have a very simple model of the world it was news in Brazil well I'm doing a good job then doing a good job all right so here's you got fired I did I paid the price I paid the price so that you uh you might be free of sin now you may have noticed that I timed my resurrection for uh roughly to happen around Easter so anybody notice that Norm says oh no Scott I am owning it does that make sense somebody's asking me to own it how much harder could I own it that's my point Norm my point is that I'm owning it totally are you missing that point did some of this look like an apology or something I'm totally owning it I'm owning what I said I can't own whatever impression somebody else put in your head like I don't have any ownership of your own mental faculties I can't control that but I could I can own what I did totally I totally own it desert Ferry chick says you all realize this is a way to promote his book right yes the canceled book you are correct you are correct it is a way to promote my book because that book is the solution it's the solution to systemic racism now I didn't plan that at the at the front like nobody would nobody would get their book canceled with the hope that canceling it makes us all better that wouldn't be a good economic strategy for anyone it could work I mean you know if I had the guest today I feel like it might be the biggest selling book of all time now you haven't seen it so that sounds crazy to you but I wrote it and and I know generally how this content will be uh accepted it might be the biggest book you know not having religious scriptures and stuff it might be the biggest book of all time because that's that's how powerful it is so reframes are super powerful and reframes written by hypnotists are going to be even more powerful because I have the test as well so um here's something that I tell people all the time if they're trying to understand me I never do anything for one reason I never do anything for one reason I'm sure there's some exceptions I shouldn't make that an absolute but generally speaking in the business realm or the social realm I do things for more than one reason it turns out that after you get canceled having a book to sell is probably a pretty good deal and as it turns out that that book was exactly on point with everything that I'm talking about and what makes it on point is it it teaches reframes for individuals so once you get individuals if you train individuals of any type just individuals if you train American individuals how to be more effective systemic racism will still be there and be almost unimportant so if you can't remove the you know all the stains embedded in our culture of systemic racism which is nearly impossible it's such a big job what you can do as a better strategy is teach people how to be invulnerable to it now not by not caring but by being so successful success solves everything do you remember O.J famously said he's not black he's O.J because when you're so successful that you're OJ systemic racism probably doesn't have anything to do with anything in your life now we're not all as successful as OJ or as unsuccessful as it turned down well I guess he was successful in his own way you know in an evil way but success fixes everything again I'm exaggerating that's hyperbole right you should be used to my hyperbole by now anytime I speak in absolutes your little program should say well he doesn't mean everybody because I you know almost never do almost never meet everybody even when I say the group so uh my my experience in life coming from a uh not rich place is that having the right strategy seems to have made all the difference to me it seems to have made all the difference I remember I I lost two jobs to direct racism direct racism or they told me you won't be promoted because you're white and you're male so um my my tools of success for building a talent stack that's one of the things I teach and using having good systems versus goals and then here's a big one that I think matters maybe to Black America um and maybe maybe low-income people in general um you've heard the saying you you're the average of The Five People You spend the most time with have you heard that now I know Tim Ferriss says it but it came from somebody before that I forget who it was and there's a lot of Truth to that if you live in a poor neighborhood your five closest friends are probably not doing so well you know because poverty is associated with other bad behaviors uh with other behaviors let's say and that's a problem that's the problem so I don't know exactly how Black America solves that problem because I didn't have that problem but that's a pretty big problem and I think that's where uh White America just needs to butt out like at that level I think Black America just has to figure that out I don't know what do you do about that if if I were the mother let's say I were a single black mother and I had a kid who I didn't want to get you know pulled into crime or bad behaviors and stuff the first thing I do is find parents who also had kids who had that same desire and then I would form a uh like a play group pod so that my son or daughter only spent time with kids who also wanted to make it out and they wanted to figure out all right what do I have to do to get out of this place if if you put them together the people who are trying to get out they have a chance but I think if you take one good person who wants to get out but they're friends because of where they live or five gang members you think that one good person is going to make it out if they're best friends or you know four or five gang members and that's somebody says yes I did yeah so I'll speak statistically you can definitely make it out if you have bad friends you could definitely do that but your odds I think go way down because of the influence of your peers so they'll just say it's the odds call your POD at church oh yeah okay now there's the benefit of uh black churches it'll it gets you to associate with people who are trying to figure out you know legal useful well-proven techniques for a good life that's smart very smart uh yeah part of the reason young men are not getting married is they can't earn enough yeah there's a constellation of problems for young men much of it their own their own cause all right um are black churches racist yes are are but in a good way in a good way I don't have any problem with the black church how about uh historically black colleges so there's still a number of historically black colleges as far as I know anybody can go there could you give me a fact check on that because it would be illegal to ban anybody yeah I think anybody can go there but they're historically black and they kind of stay that way now is is having something that's even called an historically black college that clearly is focused on helping black people associate with other people have the same goals in life and they can Network and all that is that racist of course it is but do you disagree with them their existence I don't I mean some of you might some of you might you know if you're if you're like absolutist you might but you know the world is a messy place you need to make some exceptions sometimes you need to boost some groups for the benefit of everybody and historically black churches are clearly racist in a good way in a good way just like me were my comments racist absolutely were they useful yep if you actually take the time to listen to them you will understand better the situation and understanding the situation is the first step to doing anything useful so I know a lot of people who got you know their panties in a bunch so to speak but I meant that and there's still some people asking me to apologize for angering people I don't apologize for things I did intentionally what what good would that do I intentionally angered people to draw energy to myself so that I could talk about anything I wanted yeah here we are although again I didn't think I didn't think the canceling would get as big as it was but I knew there'd be some and I knew it would you know Drive some energy my way so there you are is black music racist um well let me ask you this uh there's a white boy and a black I won't say boy there's a young white man and a young black man in a car and a popular song comes on from a hip-hop artist which one can sing all the words out loud in the car yes is racist yes yes black music is purely racist because white people can't even sing it out loud you're literally not allowed to sing the lyrics out loud if you're white you don't get much more racist than that now do I have a problem with that not really not really not a big problem is it racist totally is it okay with me yeah yeah I mean it's not perfect I don't have a problem with it yeah all right ladies and gentlemen I'm going to say goodbye to the You.

Tube friends who came in to get some outrage I hope I gave you enough outrage to keep you going today all of you pandemic gooners especially have fun have fun with this one this one's gonna be this is gonna be good so keep your hands flexible and go nuts see you tomorrow

you do

[Music]

good morning everybody

and welcome to the most canceled content

in all of America and I know you're here

for some of that we'll talk about the

news first and then we'll get to more

outrages do you think I could say

something that's even more problem

making and provocative than what I've

already done

I probably can I probably can I've got

one uh I've got one in the chamber

so you want to wait around for that one

just wait for the one that's in the

chamber okay

so

um if you'd like your experience to be

maximized and I know well let me look at

you yes yes you're that kind of person

you are the kind of person who does not

settle for a below par live stream like

you see so often other places no you

want a good experience a maximum

experience and for that

all you need is a company or a glass of

tanker telephone Joker plastic vessel of

any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee and join me now for

the unparalleled pleasure of the

dopamine the other day the thing that

makes everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and today it comes

turbocharged with two white boards

two

go

all right well some people told me this

week there there are many opinions about

me and some people said to me Scott

you just did the dumbest thing you could

ever do

not talk like that in public you cannot

say those things in public

now

I thought for a while

that might be the dumbest thing anybody

said in public

and then I saw

I don't know if this is fake news

and I I'm sorry I'm just gonna have some

fun with this so no no bad feelings

but can somebody tell me if this really

happened

did Tim Poole go on Fox News and say

that the woke agenda ended his sex life

did that actually happen

can somebody confirm that that's a real

story because I looked at it I can't

tell

it's fake right is it fake

does anybody know

is is this not perfect it's perfect

because you can't tell

let's go private here

yeah I have no idea

I have no idea if that's real I saw

there was some uh little hashtag

now if he's at it I'm sure there's some

context there that you know ties it all

together but I love the fact that that

got taken probably out of context I

assume it's out of context but

I don't know I just love that story I'm

not making fun of Tim Poole I just love

the fact that he's that allegedly and I

don't know if it's real let me be very

clear I don't know that that's real

but it was trending today I'd love to if

somebody knows tell me tell me if that

really happened

but I love that I can't tell the

difference

that's what's fun about it because I I

don't know I don't know that might be

real but it might not be it's I'm going

to say that's a 50 50.

yeah and by the way I I liked him I

recommend his show by the way these show

is very good

all right well I was looking for you to

confirm her tonight but I don't think

you know as new know either all right

um I'm going to suggest based on

anecdotal vibes

and this idea comes not directly from me

but it feels right

but somebody who's real tapped into the

Republican world is telling me this and

I want to see if you're getting the same

feel if any of you are Republicans

so this is sort of a question for

republicans

the biggest issue

by far

for Republican window women

you say it's not private let me check

there we go

what's your limited yeah it's weird that

that doesn't work the first try I have

to do it twice

thank you but uh

at least one smart person is reading the

room and saying that the most important

issue by far

at a at a human level when you're

talking to real people not when you're

on Twitter but when you're talking to

real people what do you think the

biggest issue is just by far

that just throw it out there what for

Republicans what's the main thing

I want to see if you're all on the same

page okay your answers are all over the

place from economy to inflation now

certainly all those things are important

but anecdotally

and I'd love to see a poll on this but

anecdotally the moms are protecting

their children

and that's that's the primary energy at

the at the individual level

that might be the primary energy

because that's what people ask about

right if you say hey let's go talk to a

bunch of Republicans you see what comes

out of their mouths

is not necessarily inflation even though

it's a huge issue right even fentanyl

all these issues if you just ask them to

say what's on your mind

it's not going to be fentanyl you know

unless they had a direct experience as I

did but I think it's the children

and I don't know how you could program

against that

so if if Republicans ran on Save the

kids

who beats that

who beats save the kids

when people are primed to understand

that that's the real problem because

save the kids handles a whole bunch of

stuff it handles Fentanyl

right Sentinel is part of save the kids

you know there's some of them are older

kids but they're still somebody's

children

and it it goes to uh fixing schools

and fixing schools would fix what

systemic racism it would be the the

biggest lever you could push to fix

racism So when you say save the kids if

you do it in any kind of sensible way

there are a whole bunch of topics that

get fixed at the same time

have you heard Professor Scott Galloway

talking about The Lost Generation of

young men

the current situation with dating is you

know women are going for the top 10

percent of men and the rest are you know

left to I guess porn and masturbation

and you know empty lives

but as Scott Galloway correctly points

out a lot of that is because the young

men are not growing up to be worthy

partners

they're just not developed

in a way that some woman's going to want

to say give me some of that

and I think there's something to that

stop the whole story but there's a lot

to that so this this whole uh this whole

save the children

just bubbles up into almost everything

how would you save the economy

well you got your short run stuff

which probably we do roughly correctly

but your long run is just education

am I right we'll adjust the kids in the

long run your your economy is dead

unless you educate kids better and get

rid of the Fentanyl

so it's basically you have to solve the

kid problems to solve the economy so

save the kids ends up being a

really save us all

you know save the kids I'm sure that the

left would say what about

what about the climate

and that's easy

we love the climate

but we don't want to do something that

makes things worse

you know so it's easy to counter any

argument against it I don't know but put

that into your thinking cap and maybe

just do a little observing

about what people bring up unprompted

because it's the bringing it up

unprompted

that makes it kind of stand out

education does not mean what you think

it does well I like uh

there's a good point uh I like to

broaden education to mean any kind of

training anything that's useful for your

life

especially your financial life but also

anything that's useful for your sanity

and happiness as well that should all be

education

all right let's talk about Doug imhoff

the so-called

uh

second gentleman

he's not even the first gentleman

he's the second gentleman

I don't know how you you rank uh adult

men

in 2023 but apparently if you had been

married to a female president you'd be

the first gentleman

if you're married to a vice president

who's female you're the second gentleman

and if the vice president that you're

married to owns a pet you're something

like the third creature

you know because the Pet's going to be a

little higher than you let's face it

so you got to get that right

well Doug MLF the the second gentleman

is in the news by saying there's too

much toxic masculinity

and uh

apparently he is selling himself as

someone who

not selling this that's

selling is just a jerk word like I hate

myself for saying that

withdraw withdraw he's simply stating

he's not selling anything he's just

stating that he thinks there's too much

toxic masculinity

but apparently he has escaped the curse

of toxic masculinity is pretty happy

about it

and a lot of people wanted to argue with

him about you know masculinity and blah

blah blah here's my take

why are we arguing about that that's

arguing over a word

why are we arguing over a word

like or two words toxic masculinity

how about how about a high ground move

I've told you that The High Ground

maneuver is what you say that ends all

arguments

all right watch me end the debate

how about everybody can just be

different

that's the end of the debate

That's The High Ground maneuver if you

come into a conversation where people

are like me me me toxic masculinity no

you don't have toxic masculinity no I

think I think Kamala is your boss oh you

should not be saying that oh we need

more toxic masculinity yes we need less

toxic myself

and then you come in and say well how

about we just treat everybody as an

individual

any problem anybody anybody raise your

hand anybody have a problem with just

treating everybody as a

individual for once anybody that's

that's the end so that's an example of

The High Ground maneuver

once you learn to do High Ground

maneuvers

you win every conversation

you'll win them all because you just say

the thing that nobody disagrees with

that's sort of a higher level thought it

just ends it

uh you may you may be noticing that I'm

doing something along those lines

so far

not completing the task

but keep watching keep watching

all right

um speaking of Kamala Harris

I would like to add a hypothesis to the

mix but I asked this question on social

media now this is just a Twitter poll so

don't put too much scientific faith in

it because there's none Twitter polls

are just people who answer the polls

that's about it

so the Twitter poll I asked this

question if an acquaintance tells you

they belong to a wine club

what do you assume are the odds that

person is a functional alcoholic

and you can answer that question too if

you know if you have an acquaintance

who's a member of a wine club

what are the odds that person is a

functional alcoholic and by that I mean

you know they have wine for dinner but

you know every night and you know they

have wine on weekends and

wine for lunch fairly frequently but

they're functional they have jobs and

everything else

so I'm saying estimates from 10 to 90

percent I would go closer to 90 percent

my observation

and it took me years to find this

pattern

is that the people who are functional

alcoholics

build a lifestyle around that so that

there's a reason to be drinking every

day that doesn't look like the reason is

you're a functional alcoholic

you've seen that oh you've seen it yeah

they're the people who like to entertain

do you know any people who like to

entertain

usually functional alcoholics who are

covering their track

now there are so many functional

alcoholics I don't have a complaint

about it frankly like as long as they're

not driving

it's okay with me I mean it's her life

so I'm not judging I'm just saying it's

one of those patterns that if you've not

noticed it yet

keep an eye on it keep an eye on that

pattern people will build a lifestyle to

cover up you know whatever they're

trying to cover up

if you had a foot fetish is there a

greater chance that you would work

in a large department store woman's

Footwear Place probably because that

would be a you know great place to cover

up your you're a fetish

so

I only ask this because a friend of mine

who knows a great deal about addicts and

alcoholics

I won't say an expert

but pretty close to an expert on this uh

on this topic

says that the reason that Kamala does

that embarrassing cackling when she's

speaking not her normal cackle so if you

notice there's two kinds of cackles

there's the the everyday nervous cackle

that she uses all the time

but there have been a few times when

her happiness about ordinary things

seems unusual

like her love for the fact that you

could charge your phone on a school bus

like that didn't look like normal cackle

that looked like alcohol

now I'm not this is not my opinion

because I didn't have this observation

but somebody who knows a lot about this

world said oh yeah those speeches where

she's she's talking like that and she's

too happy about things that you

shouldn't be happy about that's

obviously drunk

now once you said it you know once I'd

heard it because I hadn't really that

wasn't really high up on my list of

possible explanations for what we're

seeing but once you hear it I said to

myself hey I wonder if anybody thinks

that Kamala is an alcoholic or or even

just drinks more than she should for her

job during the daytime I suppose you

know if you're a vice president you

probably shouldn't drink ever should you

because isn't there a greater than zero

chance that you'll be running running

the country in an emergency within an

hour

right

like would you ever want Hillary Clinton

in an office knowing that she likes her

wine

yeah no matter how much she has

I don't want a semi-inubriated president

sitting there

like that was one thing that I really

think was underappreciated about Trump

you could wake Trump up

any part of the 24 hours and he would

pop up and he'd still be Trump

all day long like I don't think he's

ever anything else he's just he's just

always happened 24 hours

love them or hate him he was ready to go

who is ready to go and sometimes that

might be more important than you know

your specific preferences

um anyway that's I think that was a

great underrated element of trump that

he didn't drink

and drink and by the way you're all

noticing that the trend to stop drinking

at least on Twitter looks huge are you

all noticing that the number of people

who were bragging about no longer

drinking not alcoholics some of them are

but mostly just ordinary people who

found out the alcohol is bad for you

you know I haven't had alcohol for years

so

that's a really good trend

you know I hope you're not switching out

to fentanyl that would be bad

all right um so here's tying this all

together once it was suggested to me and

then I got primed you know once your

brain gets primed it's all you can see

so confirmation bias started to kick in

and I said to myself I think I'll look

online and see if anybody has noted that

Kamala Harris

drinks too much in their opinion or any

rumors about too much alcohol or

anything like that and I didn't see

anything like that

so just to be clear I didn't see anybody

speculating I didn't see any reports of

her drinking too much the only thing

that came up is that she belongs to a

wine club

next topic

uh Rasmussen

um asked people about the age of the

presidents and what age is too much

and uh fit well let's let's see how well

you're doing this

they asked people uh

how many people think 86 years old is

too old to be president

does anyone want to guess I'll ask you

it this way how many people think uh

it's okay

to be 86 years old and pre-president

you're roughly what do you think

yes you're good

how do you do this

are you all mind readers how do you all

know the right answer without even

without being told

you're so close it's 27 20 of 27 of

those asked said that yeah 86 is not too

old to be president what are you talking

about

86 is just getting started

say one quarter of the respondents

yeah

have if anybody is new to me

I think there's probably more new people

here than usual if you're new to my live

streams I've noted that 25 of the public

about

will get every question wrong

every poll question you can depend on 25

to have the most ridiculous opinion just

completely batshit crazy

on any question now the thing is I don't

think it's the same 25 percent

I I think it it depends on the question

which is the funny part I don't think

it's just the same 25 dumb people it

doesn't feel like it

but maybe it is who knows

uh well the most important thing uh well

the second most important thing the most

important thing is did Tim Poole really

say that

that's the most important question of

the day but the second most the question

of the day is what the hell is up with

me

and why am I still talking to people and

why am I not fully canceled and what's

going on anyway

so let's talk about that

if you don't think I can offend you more

than I have

well I take that challenge

challenge accepted the see how offended

you can get

um

uh I will make the following claim

that no one who knows the context of my

inflammatory comments

from last week you all know what I'm

talking about I don't have to summarize

by any but here's my summary no one who

knows the context and is also a normal

person

is angry at me either black or white

nobody who is a normal person and I'm

going to Define normal by excluding the

people who are not normal in a moment

100 of the normal people

the non-professionals just normal people

black and white

agree with me once they hear the full

context

that's my experience right so far I have

only agreement of people who understand

the context now there are a lot of

people who don't understand the context

and they quite reasonably don't agree

with me which should be no surprise

but the ones who don't agree with me

fall into the following categories

peacock's race Drifters social signalers

dopamine gooners and my personal

political enemies

and then people who were fooled by the

fake news

it's not fake news because the quote is

exactly accurate what's fake is that

when you take out the context it

completely changes what was going on

from horrible from helpful to horrible

and if you didn't know that

well you know it's really not your fault

because the fake news was not feeding

you in a useful context of course

so I'd have to say that there's

something positive happening and here's

another positive thing happening

um

I believe that now

the conversation has already expanded in

a useful way here's what I mean

the things that I said are the things

that I'm being told by a lot of people

privately yeah we all think that they

may not be exactly agreed with what I

said but some version of uh yes you know

you're speaking the truth we're all

thinking it and I'm not sure everybody

is interpreting what I said quite the

way they're quite accurately but there

still is like this massive agreement

this this is a conversation

that is helpful

there's a helpful conversation now

because anybody who even brings up this

topic will be fully canceled as I

believe I proved you will be fully

canceled for this topic but do you

realize what I've created

I've created a situation where people

who can't say what I said can go on

television and say

well Scott Adams said what do you think

about that

do you see what happened

it's now allowable conversation because

you can attribute it to me

I did that

I did that for you

you can now say this isn't my opinion

but I'd like to hear your feedback Scott

Adams said

that stupid racist bastard Scott Adams

said that damn freaking bastard who is

more racist than any racist I've ever

known says this what do you think about

that

and now you can have a conversation

now it'll still be awkward a lot of a

lot of work to do

but you now have more free speech you

just have to be a little clever about it

so you don't get canceled like I did

yeah and I'm also sensing that there's a

growing willingness

to talk freely

because when somebody goes first this is

the whole point of you know why the

general should be in the front line

sometimes I don't think that's always a

good idea but you know your leaders

should lead from the front sort of thing

now I wasn't trying to lead anybody

like I was trying to deepen the

conversation I was trying to provoke of

course I was trying to provoke anybody

who thought that was like a literal

serious statement should examine their

reading comprehension

but of course I was trying to provoke I

was trying to get people angry

mission accomplished I didn't feel I was

that persuasive but apparently once the

fake media got involved

um and like I said among the people who

were mad at me are my political enemies

I believe it's fair to say that a

hundred percent of the political right

including people and you know news

related organizations

did not think I should be canceled

what's that tell you is this about race

is it about race if only Democrats want

to cancel big

you don't think there are any people in

the Republican party at all

who know what racism looks like

including the black Republicans you

think they don't know what it looks like

or how to deal with it you know

productively no it it started out as me

being provocative but once it gained

steam it just became political

it's just that they can hide that

just just the way a alcoholic can hide

their alcoholism by forming a wine club

the Press can can get rid of their

biggest political enemy and by the way I

believe that's true

because most of you have watched me

twist The Narrative like almost nobody

can except Trump trump can Trump can

just have his way with the narrative

like that that's why I've been talking

about him because he has those skills

but there are very few people in the

talking out loud political world who can

reframe something as effectively as I

can which is why my book that was just

uh canceled my new book is all about

reframing things

so what I'm doing now is an example of

what's in the book but in the book it

would be more reframing for your own

purposes I'm reframing for public

purpose which is really dangerous

if you haven't noticed it's really

dangerous

don't do it yeah you know I don't mind

doing it because here's another thing

I've been teaching you for years you've

heard me say this a lot of times

if you want to succeed

at anything anything

here's the formula for Success this is

that most summarized formula for success

if there's something you want to succeed

at

find out the price

and then pay it

this is the best advice you'll ever have

so I wanted to talk about this this

topic

so I thought what's the price of that

well the price of that is the risk of

full cancellation

and then I paid it

have you heard me complain yet

nope

nope I looked at the menu I looked at

the price and then I ordered that meal

right in front of you

I just paid the price that's all that

happened

now I wasn't expecting it would be this

high

but that was on the menu like it was

obvious that it could be it was quite

obvious that that was a you know pretty

high possibility I didn't know

but certainly I paid that price now am I

sad that I paid that price I haven't

experienced that yet

I have not experienced any feeling of

regret which might surprise you

because this is something that you don't

go around

once you've paid the price

I just bought a ticket

to drive right through the middle of it

I'm going to bore a hole

through the narrative because I paid the

price I bought the ticket the rest of

you can watch

I don't recommend participating

but just watch

all right um

so I believe there's already a public

benefit that is a benefit and would you

agree with this statement it would be a

benefit to black white American you know

Asian Americans Hispanic name your

category

anytime you can broaden the conversation

on the most important topic in my

opinion this is the most important topic

in the country right now

um you're probably

improving your odds of a good outcome

all right I'm laughing at your comment

but I'm not going to say it

um all right here's a here's another

thing

so Andy know

um

is publishing a video and apparently the

City of Springfield Ohio

and the the context for this is all

these videos of violence you know

individual violence

is creating a narrative in our heads

that is super super dangerous

because visual persuasion is the most

important and if you see three or four

anecdotes about anything

you don't even care about the data

right would you agree that if you see

some visual anecdotes of some horror

you'll never care about the data

like so it's the same problem that white

people have said about the black lives

matter probably the biggest issue about

police brutality

if their videos of police brutality you

think it's happening everywhere because

visual persuasion is so strong

but was there actually a massive problem

of of the police

targeting black

people in particular

for violence

I don't know how big that was but our

impression of it is Big because we saw

videos of it and we just kept seeing it

you know the George Floyd stuff if you

just watch that a million times like

most of us did it looks like you know

he's one of thousands of people or

whatever

but so visual persuasion is very racist

and misleading and at the moment there's

this uh whole bunch of uh racist videos

of only black people beating up white

people and Asian Americans

now what is anybody going to think

forget about the data

forget about the data what is everybody

going to think if they're news sources

on their social media are feeding them

this constant stream of things that

would make them uh

unless a reflexive persuaded way not a

thinking way but sort of a reflexive way

to cause people to have a bad feeling

about Black Americans

terribly unfair

and

what makes it worse is obviously the

social media algorithms because

the thing that's really bothering me

is that if we didn't have obviously

racist social media algorithms

that are I think clearly suppressing all

the Asian American and white kids

beating up black people

that just makes the it makes the problem

appear one-sided

so I think we have to go all the way

down to the social media algorithm level

to and maybe Elon Musk can fix that and

Zuckerberg could look into it and fix

that so that we're served up at least an

equal amount

of white kids beating up black kids and

Asian Americans like targeting black

Americans on the street and stuff

because if we've got something that was

more like balanced

then it's not going to look all racist

what do you mean that doesn't exist

no it must exist

because we wouldn't be talking about it

this way if it didn't exist

obviously is this

obviously it exists so all of you

racists who are just tweeting around

these violent things of black people

beating up other people

just know that you're working with the

racist

algorithm and between the racist

algorithm and you you're not making

anything better

so just be aware of that Larry Elder uh

did a video in which here's the first

part of the video so you'll get the

sense of it he said quote rather than

thank Adams for saying out loud what

clearly a lot of people feel including a

lot of black people so we could have you

know a healthy discussion about this

Adams is being hounded shut down and

canceled

now

Larry Elder

I endorsed for governor of California

and by the way I think he would have

been great

that when when people tell the story of

me

do they tell the story about how I

supported Obama for president

and I think he did okay

you know nobody's perfect so I'd have

things to criticize but I thought he was

a solid president I backed yay before I

realized what his mental state was

exactly but I thought you know wouldn't

that be fun to have a president yay

I've backed Larry Elder

for governor

because I thought he was the best one

running that's it I just thought he was

the best one running

I've backed uh I am backing Vivek

ramaswamy

who I think is Indian American I think

and

do you think that context was ever

mentioned by the Press

how many of the stories you read about

me you said that I'd helped black lives

matter try to organize their messaging

how many how many reported that I re

that I supported strongly supported

against the will of much of my audience

it cost me money

um

reform uh prison reform

right that was not so popular among

Republicans so I lost audience

supporting that

and knew it did it anyway

uh how many

how many know that I uh once blogged

in favor of reparations

not the way it's being described now

where it's just a cash payment but some

kind of a grand let's say agreement

among black Americans and everybody else

to do something that would maybe mostly

help black Americans but it would help

everybody poor and then you've got

something then you've got something

everybody can say all right all right I

see how this mostly affects black

Americans but that's because they were

in the biggest hole

so that's fine

you know as long as we're talking about

income it's okay if it's racist because

it would be racist wouldn't it

if you if you did something that helped

all poor people

but the nature of it is that uh Black

Americans were in a deeper hole

so it would it would help them more than

it would help other people

that would be racist by definition

now that would be positive racism in my

opinion was that would anybody disagree

that would be a policy which affects

races disproportionately you know you're

doing it

you know you're doing it I'm going to do

this policy it will affect the races

disproportionately

um but it's a good thing to do

are there other cases where there are

things that are purely racist

but they're a good thing to do can you

think of any other examples something

that you would say well you know

technically that's racist

but it's pretty good thing to do

all right here's one

affirmative action

historically

so my take on affirmative action is that

while it was very bad for my personal

career I lost two careers because I was

white and male in my corporate days even

then I was not opposed to affirmative

action I hated how it affected me

but I was not opposed to it because and

the reason I wasn't opposed to it is

that

I couldn't figure out an alternative

you see the problem

when things are really unequal

yeah the tool to fix it is a

sledgehammer

and the sledgehammer breaks stuff more

than you want to break right but it's

the only tool you have like what else

are you gonna do what else are you gonna

do but as things get a little closer to

equal

but before they're completely equal

the right time is to reassess it because

you're going to start to create more ill

will then you're benefiting by you know

correcting some historical imbalances

so

I think that affirmative action was

racist by Design

by intention

and that would anybody disagree with

that is there anybody who thinks that

affirmative action is not racist

by intention by Design

in fact if it were not racist it

wouldn't work the entire point of it is

to be racially racial preference is the

entire point of it

right so I would contend that there are

racist things

which are the ones you want because it's

how you defeat

um racism let's say the tax code

let's say the tax code was super

favoring one group over another

which is always the case even if you

don't want it to it just feels like no

matter how you create anything it always

has a disproportionate impact on

somebody right

so suppose you correct and suppose you

correct a disproportionate problem with

some group how can you correct that

without shifting resources back and

forth

or favoritism to another racial group

now it might be a very good thing to do

but it's going to be racist

because it's treating the groups

differently and then having the policy

that represents your different treatment

of the groups now if your point is to

help a group that needs a hand up that's

a good conversation to have

and I'm always open to that

all right this is this point is going to

get deeper

um Kevin Costa who I'm taking as

probably a black man on Twitter just

based on the profile and the

conversation

he said about me and my statement quote

he was clearly being openly and

purposely racist

would you say that's true was I being my

provocative comments were they clearly

and openly and purposely racist

yeah I said they were

I said that

so he's arguing with me by agreeing with

me I'm saying yes yes

right right Holger

it was totally racist and it was meant

to be that way would you like to hear

the context

now do you think that I was trying to

make things worse for black Americans

how many think I was trying to make

things worse for black Americans

anybody

oh somebody says yes some of you are

saying yes

I wasn't expecting that

all right most of the answers are now

the people who know me the most know the

answer is no if you weren't listening to

the opening context I could see how

you'd say yes all right so people say

yes don't know me as well

um

but people who know me on locals they

they're a little closer to the answer so

here's how I explain this

about

being openly racist

and we're going to the whiteboards

here are some things which I would argue

are openly racist

and at the same time you like them

right not everybody I'm saying these

these are the things that are socially

approved

but they're clearly racist

uh ESG CRT

Black History Month affirmative action

Dei College admissions if there's any

preferences in those and reduced free

speech for some people

I think Society generally thinks that

white people should not have the same

level of free speech

and I think a lot of people would agree

with that they'd go oh if those white

people are saying whatever they want

like our narrative will be impacted

now here's the one that I think is

interesting voting for Obama

I voted for Obama

in large part because he was black

did anybody else vote for him because he

was black like it wasn't the only reason

I think he was qualified and I think he

did a good job unlike my audience I

think he did a reasonably good job

yeah and and I I respect your

disagreement on Obama but here's why

here's why I and yeah I see a lot of

people saying yes

a Black America voted for him by

overwhelming numbers right and white

Americans voted more for Obama than I

think John Kerry

and I believe that a lot of us had the

same thing in mind

you know I won't read other minds but I

speculate that a lot of people thought

like I did wouldn't it be good

to finally have a black president so we

don't have to hear any more complaints

about how a black man can't succeed

now obviously there's still plenty of

you know structural systemic racism but

isn't it good for the country that we've

had a black president

would anybody disagree with that like

forget about Obama as a personality just

ask yourself is the United States you

know the the Melting Pot country

better or worse for having had a black

president who was popular by the way

okay now uh

I I I'm pretty sure that was good for

the country

now at the same time

racism went through the roof or or I

should say racial Harmony Drop Like a

Rock during Obama and then continue to

drop so nobody fixed it

so it's possible that something about

the Obama era

made things worse I don't know exactly

what policies

you think it was policies

could be

all right but I would say that voting

for Obama if you were voting for him to

to make sure that we had a black

president finally that's why I did it

plus he was qualified I thought

um I thought that was racist

was that let me ask you was it racist

for me to vote for Obama in large part

because of his color

was that racist

how would that not be racist

somebody says no well okay

yeah you probably have an argument there

if I heard it I'd probably agree with

you well I would say that's racist

I did that

I did this racist thing

I'm guilty

um how about uh Black History Month

is Black History Month good or bad for

black people

some of you say bad let's see you think

I'm going to say it's bad I don't know I

don't know I don't think it's bad

I I feel like Black America

you know went through enough they get a

month

if you have the experience of black

Americans From Slavery to today yeah you

could have a month

like I don't have a problem with that

but it is racist doesn't it

this is a racism I totally agree with

I'm totally in that's fine let's be

let's be as educated as possible about

our true history

now you know you might say hey

you know how about a woman's History

Month well we have that too

we do have a woman's History Month I

don't know how many other history months

there are but aren't they all either

sexist or racist

all those months are sexist and racist

right

they're totally sexist totally racist I

don't disagree with either one of them I

don't have a problem with them

so there's a whole bunch of stuff

uh and like I said affirmative action

at the moment I think we should

reconsider

but historically I favor This Racist

totally racist activity

and uh

yeah and the other ones you might like I

mean you might like ESG and you know by

the way does everybody even know what

ESG is

do I have to Define that

let me explain the SG

ESG is uh let's say environmental social

and governance

and the two things in there are for

corporations are being judged by

entities that judge them including

BlackRock you know this multi-trillion

dollar Financial behemoth

so this huge financial entity BlackRock

is pushing this idea that companies

should be evaluated for their ESG

quality so the the E for environmental

they have to be reducing their carbon

footprint and then the social and

governance is they should have diversity

at all levels up to the top of the

organization

now

the companies that push ESG

um are they happy that I'm one of the

most noted critics of the thing that is

the operating system of their company

right now they have ESG so management of

newspapers do you think they they were

opposed to ESG the management of

newspapers or more importantly the the

in many cases the hedge funds that own

the groups of newspapers because that's

how newspapers tend to be owned by big

Financial entities that own like a chain

yeah

so the people so the people that I've uh

pledged

to attack the ESG people because it's so

harmful for business

it's harmful for everything it's harmful

for society but business in particular

do you think there's any coincidence

that the biggest critic of those things

got canceled by the people who promote

those things

it's not the only reason

but when you see who's who's opposing me

and canceling me you have to ask about

their other motives

the the thing I said you know maybe it

was worth canceling According to some

people but that's not why they did it

that's not why why they did it is to

shut me up

right why they did it is to shut me up

that's why

shut me up in a variety of ways but ESG

would be one of them

you know I I was reminded yesterday

that when Dilbert was first introduced

into newspapers it was very difficult to

get the newspaper to buy it because it

made fun of management

uh and I've forgotten how you know

quaint things were back then

make you don't remember but Dilbert was

a controversial uh it was a

controversial strip it was controversial

because the main managers and leaders

look like idiots and the managers and

leaders were not on board with that idea

because it allowed the staff to mock the

people above them it made it easier for

them just hey look at this comic uh so

the people who canceled me

as anybody stopped to think that the

people who canceled me the management of

the newspapers are the people that I've

been mocking for 34 years like viciously

mocking them do you think they didn't

want a reason to cancel me even if they

thought it was funny they'd probably

like well a little less of that would be

good all right

here's a second

the second

summary

people who don't know the context of my

controversy have asked me to summarize

it and so I'm borrowing this but this is

a

basically it I said some version of you

should avoid people that the society has

primed to be racist against you

some people said wait a minute Scott you

did not add that Nuance the first time

you said it

and then I said yes that's why I

clarified

and then they said clarification is not

allowed

and I said what

and they said no if you meant to clarify

it you would have done that in the first

place

and I said

no the reason that there's a word called

clarification is that there are all

kinds of reasons that you don't say it

in the first place

or sometimes you don't know that

somebody needed that clarification

I actually got two people on on social

media

to argue in public in public while

people were watching they're clarifying

your comments uh is not to be accepted

can you believe that two people like

adult human beings

argue that clarifying is a bad idea

that that that's how you know you've won

an argument you can't win an argument

harder than that yeah clarify clarifying

is a bad idea

what

all right so here's the summary avoid

people who are primed primarily by

things like ESG and the narrative and

CRT and everything else so we should

avoid people who are primed to be racist

against you the media said well that's a

racist thing to say

and then nobody would have cared except

there's an entire industry of

complainers they have different reasons

so you got your race scriptures dopamine

gooners victims of fake News the people

who didn't know the context and my

political enemies

the newspapers they're literally my

political enemies

so uh then the people who heard it from

all of these people

they responded as exactly you'd imagine

so that's what happened so people who

missed the context that's the cliff

notes version there's a much deeper

richer more interesting context but the

wine club with an H

that's funny

all right so

my statement is this

um

I don't require erasmussen poll

to clarify my lived experience

my lived experience

is that the race relations are being

poisoned by the media narrative that

white people are the source of their

problems now I don't argue with the fact

that white people are the source of

problems

I just argue that if that's how you

focus you only make things worse

and that focusing you know on the future

and how to work together and you know

solutions that everybody likes education

being the easiest one because there's

lots of agreement black and black and

conservative at least there's lots of

agreement and more more Democrats in

general

all right so my lived experience is that

black Americans are being poisoned by

The Narrative and while I can't be sure

it's true any reasonable person would

see the poisoning happening because the

poisoning is obvious and on the surface

right that's not an opinion is it would

you say that's an opinion or is that

just an observation that you all say

that the that the media narrative is

anti-white and very clearly at the

moment very anti-white

so my comment is that anti-white is

looking backwards

and that everybody who looks backwards

gets a worse result than everybody who

looks forward

it's on average

so if you keep a backwards looking you

know victimization who caused it whose

problem it is that can be useful in the

short run and I wouldn't I wouldn't

abandon that but if it's your primary

strategy for the future it can't work

they can't work at all

so when Black America figures out

that I'm trying to unlock them

from

effectively a brainwashing situation

which by the way isn't because you're

black like we're all we're all

brainwashed into our own bubble so

there's that's not a racial comment

everybody's being brainwashed into their

own little bubble and it's not their

fault

because no normal even smart person

can get out of a brainwashed bubble it

doesn't work that way you can't really

think your way out of the bubble like

you can't just think Carter I'm out of

the bubble usually it's some external

event that knocks you out of your bubble

right or something maybe you did

mushrooms or something but you don't get

out of your bubble just by reading the

news

that's not going to help

so some people think they can there

might be some exceptions

all right

so here's Here's Where We Are

if you say that what I said was racist I

agree I agreed from the start by the way

I never disagreed but I will say that if

you're ignoring the context that you

can't fix any racist situation without

also appearing to be and maybe actually

being racist meaning that the the we

should probably make a distinction

between

you know racism with the capital are

and little racism

right

doing things to try to correct a worse

racism with something that's also racist

that's like the small R trying to defeat

the Big R

I'm okay with that

I'm okay with a little racism as an

antidote to a lot of racism because

don't you end up with less racism

if you could spend some money to make

some money and make more than you spent

wouldn't you do that

so being accused of a racist is just

part of my expense

is part of what I'm paying but if you're

arguing about the meaning of the word

it's a diversion from the argument

so here are the ways that now and I

think you're all aware

that at least half of the world wants to

really really avoid the actual topic

have you noticed that

that most of the energy is about

avoiding the topic there's almost no

energy on the point I was making all the

energy is going sideways

so here's here's what happens to the

energy

people saying uh

all right a bunch of examples

the diversions first diversion is that

Rasmussen pole you looked at uh it's not

enough people to be a good sample

well uh first of all there's nothing

about my argument that depends on the

poll

I used the poll as a jumping off point

for the conversation

so I don't depend on it but I will say

about the poll that even though it was

just like a hundred some black people

were interviewed and only 60 some

uh had a problem with the phrase

it's okay to be white

now is that enough people now what most

people don't realize is that there was

only an eight percent margin of error

meaning that even if it's off by eight

percent more or less it wouldn't change

the point

it doesn't change the point if you're

off eight percent

yeah well it's not a point about an

exact number it's a point it's a point

about too many people being primed by

the public by the by the media to have a

negative opinion about white people

just too many

now let me ask you this and then other

people said that the question was a

racist some kind of Neo-Nazi question or

something so suppose the question had

been different

my take on the question is it okay to be

white is that a black racist could still

say yes to that

what do you think

I think a black racist could still say

yeah it's okay to be white but you're

all screwing us and you're all doing bad

things

right suppose the question had been

asked this way

um do you believe that white Americans

are the cause of past and continuing

systemic racism

what would have been the percentage of

black Americans who would say white

people are the cause of past and the

primary cause of continuing systemic

racism

because even I think that's true

even I think that's true but the

difference is it doesn't make me think

uh

doesn't make me think less of white

people do you know why

because I don't know any white people

doing that

I don't know any white people who are

plantation owners not a single one

I don't know any white person who's in

any intentional or even accidental way

perpetuating systemic racism

I don't even know one

now they may be doing it by inaction

but you know then it gets a little more

conceptual

but I don't know any white people

like that

anyway

um

let's see other diversions

are

that I'm a racist for pointing out the

correlation and I use the word

correlation and I was quoted back for

saying correlation I'm a racist for

pointing out the correlation between uh

crime and the density of black

population

now what I said was that the causation

is systemic racism

and that got turned into oh you're

saying there's a correlation between

black density and crime therefore you're

a racist

which is the opposite of what I said

I said that systemic racism which I also

believe is primarily formed by and you

know and enhanced by white people

almost by definition

um I think that's the cause that's the

cause of black poverty

it's the main contributor to Black

poverty and then poverty causes the

crime

now there's nobody who disagrees with my

statement that there's a high

correlation the correlation is caused by

history

and the correlation is that poor people

have more crime

who disagrees with that but it's part of

the diversion to avoid the point right

we're gonna we're gonna attack you on

that thing here's another one uh well

the people who oppose clarification that

was funny

and and then the complaint that it's

okay to be white is a racist meme

that just seems to be trying to avoid

the point because like I said the poll

and the question were not important to

my opinion it was my lived experience

and I'm joining that now with all the

people who are

um were sort of chipping in not chipping

and chiming in

so a lot of white people are coming to

me and Whispering some version of

you know I think it is okay to be white

uh it's not a racist thing

and a lot of white people are telling me

privately that they're feeling

increasingly victimized by the narrative

but also the video showing you know the

the crime makes everything worse

uh

somebody says crime is a tribal trait

well no it isn't

crime is a tribal trait

I don't think there's any evidence for

that

uh it seems to me everybody was rich

does less crime than everybody who's

poor

for obvious reasons if you're rich

stealing stuff is all downside no upside

all right it's easy to be honest when

you're rich uh I can tell you that for

sure

all right yeah I think the it's okay to

be white is the is the question that

would get you the least amount of racism

in the answer

am I wrong

the way at Rasmussen asked it is it okay

to be white I think a lot of people who

actually had bad feelings about white

people would still say yeah it's okay to

be white but you're also the cause of

all our problems

I don't want to be around a community of

people who think that I

like right now in my current existence

and the cause of their problems

and I would argue that nobody disagrees

with that

okay El Chapo is an example of a rich

criminal but El Chapo can't change

because he can't really retire when

you're ahead of a cartel

I'm pretty sure retirement means getting

killed yeah you didn't have a choice

um which is why I think you could

actually convert the cartels I think you

could actually convert them to an honest

industry

uh

like if there were any way to do that

because they would want to get out of

the crime business once they're rich if

you're the head of a cartel you had a

billion dollars

isn't the thing you'd want more than

anything

to not be a criminal anymore

like somehow you know launder that into

the legal world so you don't have to

worry

but there's no way to do that be great

if there was

all right

um

then I asked this question on

Twitter so this is another unscientific

Bowl I said does canceling me make race

relations in America better or worse

because that was the point of it right

the point of canceling me is to make

race race relations better

otherwise why do it

what do you think nine percent said it

made it better fifty percent said it

made it worse 40 said no change

well I think most of the world didn't

notice because most of the world doesn't

even read the news they don't even know

any of this happened

yeah too early to tell

it's hard for me to imagine it made it

better

I don't know maybe maybe because it made

this conversation possible and made it

better

I'll give you that

all right let's see if I missed anything

nope

all right you may have noticed that my

social media numbers are way up my

Twitter numbers and my live stream

numbers or through the roof lately

and I think it's because this is a topic

people are interested in

it looks like and I think people are

interested in two reasons

uh

they're interested in two reasons one is

they want to see if I can survive this

is sort of watching it like a movie you

know to see if I can get off a prison or

Island

does it feel like I'm on prison or

Island right now

it's a little metaphor I use

that I always have this belief about

myself and I I recommend this to the

rest of you it's a it's good to have a

story of yourself

if nobody's told you that it's one of

the best self-help things you can ever

have have a story of yourself

my story

I talk about this a lot it's called

prisoner Island

and in my story I'm dropped on an island

let's say I'm falsely accused of a crime

that makes my story better falsely

accused of a crime and they drop me on

an island of only prisoners

on day one

they beat me to near death

day two

they beat me and raped me

day three same as one and two and repeat

but if you come back in a year

everybody who touched me will be dead

and I will be the king of

prisoner Island

that's my story

that no matter how bad it gets

I'm gonna be on top

you just it might take a while

it might not be instant

but it's going to happen

now because I run that story in my mind

when I run into problems as everybody

does I say to myself

I just got dropped on prisoner Island

first week not so good

but wait

just wait

so a lot of you wanted to see the movie

where I was dropped on prisoner Island

here I am prisoner Island

and uh do you think I'll make it off

how many of you think that I can beat

the odds and make it off of prisoner

Island now the cancellation will be

complete but making it off prison and

all it means

coming out better than better than he

left

well we'll see the one thing you can be

sure of is that the you know the

negative feelings about me will remain

forever because people don't look into

context context is not a big thing on

the internet so forever I will have this

you know this over me

but

I don't really care about the

political gooners race Drifters victims

of fake news and my political enemies

and I'm impervious to embarrassment

did you ever wonder yourself Scott

were you marinating in the shame and

embarrassment of this situation

not even for a second honestly it never

occurred to me it never actually

occurred to me that embarrassment or

shame or anything would be part of this

like why I said what I meant

I think is useful

I knew what the price was and then I

paid it I have a very simple model of

the world

it was news in Brazil well I'm doing a

good job then doing a good job

all right so here's

you got fired I did I paid the price

I paid the price

so that you uh

you might be free of sin

now you may have noticed that I timed my

resurrection for uh roughly to happen

around Easter

so anybody notice that

Norm says oh no Scott I am owning it

does that make sense somebody's asking

me to own it how much harder could I own

it

that's my point

Norm my point is that I'm owning it

totally

are you missing that point

did some of this look like an apology or

something

I'm totally owning it I'm owning what I

said I can't own whatever impression

somebody else put in your head like I

don't have any ownership of your own

mental faculties I can't control that

but I could I can own what I did

totally I totally own it

desert Ferry chick says you all realize

this is a way to promote his book right

yes the canceled book you are correct

you are correct it is a way to promote

my book because that book is the

solution

it's the solution

to systemic racism

now I didn't plan that at the at the

front like nobody would nobody would get

their book canceled with the hope that

canceling it makes us all better that

wouldn't be a good economic strategy for

anyone it could work I mean

you know if I had the guest today

I feel like it might be the biggest

selling book of all time

now you haven't seen it so that sounds

crazy to you

but I wrote it

and and I know

generally how this content will be uh

accepted it might be the biggest book

you know not having religious scriptures

and stuff it might be the biggest book

of all time

because that's that's how powerful it is

so reframes are super powerful and

reframes written by hypnotists are going

to be even more powerful because I have

the test as well

so

um here's something that I tell people

all the time if they're trying to

understand me I never do anything for

one reason

I never do anything

for one reason I'm sure there's some

exceptions I shouldn't make that an

absolute but generally speaking in the

business realm or the social realm I do

things for more than one reason

it turns out that after you get canceled

having a book to sell is probably a

pretty good deal

and as it turns out that that book was

exactly on point

with everything that I'm talking about

and what makes it on point is it it

teaches reframes for individuals

so once you get individuals if you train

individuals of any type just individuals

if you train American individuals how to

be more effective

systemic racism will still be there

and be almost unimportant

so if you can't remove the you know all

the stains embedded in our culture of

systemic racism which is nearly

impossible it's such a big job what you

can do as a better strategy is teach

people how to be invulnerable to it

now not by not caring

but by being so successful success

solves everything

do you remember O.J famously said he's

not black he's O.J

because when you're so successful that

you're OJ

systemic racism probably doesn't have

anything to do with anything in your

life now we're not all as successful as

OJ

or as unsuccessful as it turned down

well I guess he was successful in his

own way you know in an evil way

but success fixes everything

again I'm exaggerating that's hyperbole

right you should be used to my hyperbole

by now anytime I speak in absolutes your

little program should say well he

doesn't mean everybody

because I you know almost never do

almost never meet everybody even when I

say the group

so uh my

my experience in life coming from a uh

not rich place

is that having the right strategy seems

to have made all the difference

to me it seems to have made all the

difference I remember I I lost two jobs

to direct racism direct racism or they

told me you won't be promoted because

you're white and you're male

so

um my my tools of success for building a

talent stack that's one of the things I

teach and using having good systems

versus goals and then here's a big one

that I think matters maybe to Black

America

um and maybe maybe low-income people in

general

um

you've heard the saying you you're the

average of The Five People You spend the

most time with

have you heard that now I know Tim

Ferriss says it but it came from

somebody before that I forget who it was

and

there's a lot of Truth to that

if you live in a poor neighborhood your

five closest friends are probably not

doing so well

you know because poverty is associated

with other bad behaviors

uh with other behaviors let's say and

that's a problem

that's the problem so I don't know

exactly how Black America solves that

problem

because I didn't have that problem

but that's a pretty big problem and I

think that's where uh White America just

needs to butt out like at that level I

think Black America just has to figure

that out I don't know what do you do

about that

if if I were the mother let's say I were

a single black mother and I had a kid

who I didn't want to get you know pulled

into crime or bad behaviors and stuff

the first thing I do is find

parents who also had kids who had that

same desire

and then I would form a uh like a play

group pod

so that my son or daughter only spent

time with kids who also wanted to make

it out

and they wanted to figure out all right

what do I have to do to get out of this

place

if if you put them together the people

who are trying to get out

they have a chance

but I think if you take one good person

who wants to get out but they're friends

because of where they live or five gang

members you think that one good person

is going to make it out if they're best

friends or you know four or five gang

members

and that's somebody says yes I did

yeah so I'll speak statistically

you can definitely make it out if you

have bad friends

you could definitely do that but your

odds I think go way down

because of the influence of your peers

so they'll just say it's the odds

call your POD at church oh yeah okay now

there's the benefit of uh black churches

it'll it gets you to associate with

people who are trying to figure out you

know legal useful

well-proven techniques for a good life

that's smart

very smart

uh yeah part of the reason young men are

not getting married is they can't earn

enough yeah there's a constellation of

problems for young men

much of it their own

their own cause

all right

um are black churches racist

yes

are are

but in a good way in a good way I don't

have any problem with the black church

how about uh historically black colleges

so there's still a number of

historically black colleges as far as I

know anybody can go there

could you give me a fact check on that

because it would be illegal to ban

anybody

yeah I think anybody can go there but

they're historically black and they kind

of stay that way now is is having

something that's even called an

historically black college that clearly

is focused on helping black people

associate with other people have the

same goals in life and they can Network

and all that

is that racist

of course it is

but do you disagree with them their

existence I don't I mean some of you

might some of you might you know if

you're if you're like absolutist you

might but you know the world is a messy

place you need to make some exceptions

sometimes you need to boost some groups

for the benefit of everybody and

historically black churches are clearly

racist

in a good way

in a good way just like me

were my comments racist

absolutely

were they useful yep

if you actually take the time to listen

to them you will understand better the

situation

and understanding the situation is the

first step to doing anything useful

so I know a lot of people who got you

know their panties in a bunch so to

speak but I meant that

and there's still some people asking me

to apologize for angering people

I don't apologize for things I did

intentionally

what what good would that do I

intentionally angered people to draw

energy to myself

so that I could talk about anything I

wanted

yeah here we are

although again I didn't think I didn't

think the canceling would get as big as

it was but I knew there'd be some and I

knew it would you know Drive some energy

my way

so there you are

is black music racist

um

well let me ask you this uh there's a

white boy and a black I won't say boy

there's a young white man and a young

black man in a car

and a popular song comes on from a

hip-hop artist

which one can sing all the words out

loud in the car

yes is racist yes yes black music is

purely racist because white people can't

even sing it out loud

you're literally not allowed to sing the

lyrics out loud if you're white

you don't get much more racist than that

now do I have a problem with that

not really

not really

not a big problem is it racist totally

is it okay with me yeah yeah I mean it's

not perfect I don't have a problem with

it

yeah

all right ladies and gentlemen I'm going

to say goodbye to the YouTube friends

who came in to get some outrage I hope I

gave you enough outrage to keep you

going today all of you pandemic gooners

especially have fun

have fun with this one this one's gonna

be this is gonna be good so

keep your hands flexible and go nuts

see you tomorrow
