And welcome to the highlight of civilization while it lasts.
00:00:05.200
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and it's the best thing that's ever happened to you.
00:00:08.980
Would you like to take your experience to levels that nobody's ever heard of before?
00:00:15.200
And all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice to stand,
00:00:18.340
a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:25.120
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.
00:00:28.040
The thing that makes everything better, a little bit of oxytocin today, go.
00:00:36.760
I think I was supposed to say it's the simultaneous sip and it happens now.
00:00:45.260
Well, let's see if that sip was enough to heal the republic.
00:00:53.900
I told you yesterday that I was hacked on the Locals platform.
00:01:02.020
What I thought happened was when I tweeted that I was going to be on Locals,
00:01:06.580
there's a picture or an image from Locals that gets picked up automatically.
00:01:10.380
And it had turned from my image without my knowledge and it turned into a Dilbert with a KKK necktie,
00:01:21.460
which somebody had cleverly created to make their point.
00:01:26.680
And it turns out it wasn't a hack that locals had actually paid somebody in another country to update that image.
00:01:35.680
And they grabbed that image from the Internet and did not know there was anything wrong with the necktie.
00:01:44.760
So it was just somebody who was not familiar with American culture who just thought,
00:01:52.260
So I thought it was going to be some, like, amazing hack.
00:02:02.760
I'm very disappointed that somebody did not do that intentionally.
00:02:11.520
Well, you probably know the big story is about the possibility that has been leaked that this Alvin Bragg Manhattan DA is going to indict and arrest Trump on Tuesday, maybe.
00:02:28.000
And the news is reporting that, you know, they're talking about whether he'll be handcuffed.
00:02:36.800
Now, I'm going to agree with Sebastian Gorka, who I just heard him on a Spaces call, say that if you think that somebody who got 72 million votes is going to be handcuffed in front of the public, you're crazy.
00:02:55.820
But this might be the only situation in which Trump's own lawyers would argue, go ahead and handcuff him.
00:03:14.800
Well, I think the law treats everybody the same, doesn't it?
00:03:18.600
Aren't you supposed to be representing the president?
00:03:21.820
Well, yes, but more importantly, I represent the legal system, and I don't think people should be treated differently just because they're high profile.
00:03:41.480
If he gets handcuffed, he's your next president.
00:03:47.200
If he gets handcuffed, he's your next president.
00:03:58.680
Because there's a theme for today's live stream.
00:04:06.400
Have you noticed there's a whole bunch of stuff happening in the country that you would describe as going too far?
00:04:13.920
It's a lot of stuff that started with good ideas.
00:04:27.300
And part of that would be referring to them in terms that are polite and they're comfortable with.
00:04:40.440
I love the fact that an adult human in the United States can have surgery to turn their body into whatever makes them more comfortable, gender-wise or even just cosmetically if they want.
00:04:58.080
But when you extend that to children, is that too far?
00:05:05.120
When you put handcuffs on or even talk about putting handcuffs on Trump for, we'll talk about what he did, doesn't that feel a little too far?
00:05:18.000
And I feel as though there's a whole bunch of stuff that's hitting the same category.
00:05:33.180
The left would say, you got what you effed around and found out.
00:05:40.400
People are saying, well, you effed around and you found out.
00:05:44.960
To which I said, you didn't hear me complaining.
00:05:52.060
If it's not your complaint, it's not a conversation.
00:05:54.200
If I complained, well, maybe you'd have something to say about that.
00:06:03.700
It happened a little bigger than I thought it was going to happen.
00:06:10.280
Because I think I'm one of the canaries in the coal mine in this situation.
00:06:17.660
And I think it's time to throw down the gauntlet.
00:06:26.920
And I don't mean woke as an attitude, which is fine.
00:06:32.260
But once you bring that into my life, and you put your wokeness on me, you've gone too far.
00:06:40.820
And I think that we've reached a point where everything is now too far, because there was no stopping it.
00:06:47.660
And the reason it went too far is that white men were afraid to say anything.
00:06:56.360
White men were afraid to say anything, because the penalty was too high.
00:07:05.660
I said it to piss off anybody I could piss off.
00:07:16.240
Not just good for me, because there's nothing that's going to help me.
00:07:19.920
I've sacrificed myself to the system at this point.
00:07:26.120
But if you're okay with where things are going, stay silent.
00:07:32.040
If you're not, just say you wouldn't hire these people.
00:07:42.300
I don't like the mindset that says I'm the problem.
00:07:46.340
I don't like the mindset that says children can be altered just because they think they should be.
00:07:58.780
And the problem is that white men in particular are just shutting the fuck up because you're afraid of getting fired, afraid of getting canceled.
00:08:09.280
I think that the anti-white movement is just so grotesque and so bad for the country that it's time that black America finds out you went too far.
00:09:00.180
All right, let's see how many other things have gone too far.
00:09:02.960
Well, let's talk about Trump a little bit more.
00:09:14.320
And when you hear that some DA found a clever, illegal way to take something that had already been dismissed by the feds,
00:09:24.820
already dismissed as not important enough to go after,
00:09:28.100
and that he found a way to cleverly combine things to turn it into a felony,
00:09:35.720
If this were happening to Biden, it would be too far.
00:09:45.900
Let me give you some other stories that seem to be in the same vein.
00:10:00.080
The students at Stanford Law, they had a judge come in who was a conservative judge,
00:10:05.240
and he was protested to the point where he couldn't speak.
00:10:09.020
And then the Washington Beacon published some of the names of the protesters.
00:10:15.560
And the protesters are very angry that their public protest against a public person included their names.
00:10:23.820
Well, if you're not proud of your protest, why'd you do it?
00:10:33.520
Why wouldn't you want your name associated with it if it's such a good fucking idea?
00:10:46.300
I mean, you're going to have half as much opportunity.
00:10:49.660
Everybody who protested, this stupid, stupid, too far protest.
00:10:59.440
Yeah, your names are going to be forever listed as people who went too far.
00:11:03.160
And if somebody wants to hire an idiot like this, go ahead.
00:11:09.600
These are people who are protesting somebody who was a legitimate member of society, broke no laws, is a lawyer and a judge.
00:11:29.120
Everybody who was at that protest, you're unemployable.
00:11:38.560
So in California, not too far from where I live, there was a diversity, equity, and inclusion director who was being forced out of the job or getting a lot of pressure.
00:12:00.320
And she was accused of, and here's the real part.
00:12:05.320
She was accused of not being gender inclusive because she didn't want to use the terms Latinx and Philippinx.
00:12:28.600
Her photo is a little less clear, but she identifies as black.
00:12:34.580
And even she, it's her job to police this kind of bad behavior that she's accused of.
00:12:55.740
Latinx and Philippinx, and you lose your job for that?
00:12:58.720
She's a black woman who got accused of white supremacy.
00:13:06.180
It's time for the sane people to take over because you're not sane.
00:13:10.460
This is mental illness that you're pretending is some kind of a political statement.
00:13:17.940
Yes, the woke people have some kind of mental illness.
00:13:20.800
Not all of them, because the idea of wokeness, I agree with.
00:13:25.000
But when you take it to Latinx and Philippinx, and you want somebody fired for it, you have
00:13:31.880
We're treating their mental illness like it's your problem.
00:13:39.120
And I think, you know, the media is responsible for instilling this mental illness.
00:13:48.580
And she actually says, this was the DEI person who got fired.
00:13:54.200
And she says, and actually many of my friends who are trans activists and non-binary people
00:13:59.580
actually said, all of this makes me feel uncomfortable because I'm constantly being demanded to state my pronouns.
00:14:09.540
According to her lived experience, the very people that the Wokies are trying to protect are saying,
00:14:19.280
Like, just maybe give us a little less attention, please.
00:14:32.500
He was talking about the ridiculous reparations plan that San Francisco came up with.
00:14:38.540
And of course, like everybody else, he just mocks it as being openly stupid.
00:14:45.520
This reparation plan is a bunch of stupid people doing stupid shit.
00:14:57.260
Anybody that's associated with this recommendation of the reparations, I wouldn't hire them for anything.
00:15:03.980
Anybody who agrees with it, I wouldn't hire them for anything.
00:15:10.080
If this is your mindset, that the non-slave state of California should even consider taking money from anybody else and giving it to black Americans who had no association with any recent problems, anyway.
00:15:33.600
And you should never get a job if you're associated with it.
00:15:41.260
Even CNN today is talking about, do you remember Kendi, the author of the book How to Be an Anti-Racist or something?
00:15:51.080
And he was the big go-to guy during George Floyd.
00:15:55.820
He would be the one to explain what systemic racism is and how important it is.
00:16:01.300
Apparently, he says some of his books are now being removed from schools and libraries because there's what he says is some kind of a campaign by conservative commentators against what they're calling systemic wokeness.
00:16:17.060
It's a backlash against systemic wokeness, a phrase I would like all of you to adopt.
00:16:35.460
But, yeah, systemic wokeness is ruining the country even more actively at the moment.
00:16:42.020
He said the momentum was crushed, his momentum, what he would call his anti-racist momentum, was crushed by a pretty well-organized force and movement of people who were seeking to conserve racism.
00:17:14.000
The people who are pushing back are not defending racism, you asshole.
00:17:26.240
They're trying to get rid of you, asshole, because you're ruining the whole fucking thing.
00:17:37.460
Do you think CNN would have run in kind of an anti-Kendie story?
00:17:41.820
I mean, it was a little bit balanced because it showed his side as well.
00:17:44.820
But even the fact that they ran the story, that there's a backlash against him, you don't think that the white people at CNN feel it too?
00:18:04.720
Just to be clear, I don't endorse any violence for anything, except maybe against the cartels.
00:18:13.660
But there is going to be a push, and all it requires is some honesty.
00:18:21.640
It can be more dangerous than violence in some ways.
00:18:30.600
And when I say that white men are going to be rising up, I don't mean in a racist way.
00:18:38.520
I mean in a common sense way, in a way that would be good for everybody.
00:18:42.760
They're not going to try to make anything worse for black people.
00:18:50.360
White men, you've got to be honest, and you've got to say it's too far, and you've got to put your foot down.
00:18:56.340
You've got to say that the Kendi's are assholes.
00:19:06.980
But if they're going to ruin my country, which appears to be what's happening, don't ask for a lot of sympathy.
00:19:23.560
I wouldn't mind some mental health resources for the over-woke.
00:19:27.100
Anybody who thinks that Philippine X and Latin X is a necessary addition to our system, you just need some counseling.
00:19:37.480
And by the way, I'm perfectly open to adopting new and better ways to deal with each other.
00:19:56.660
And as soon as you let them tell you it's about black and white, or boy versus girl, or anything else, you're losing.
00:20:04.640
It's fucking idiots against people who have some rational sense left about how to make the system work.
00:20:14.740
We need a system that all of us can fit into and thrive.
00:20:19.060
And they're breaking the system, the best system that's ever existed.
00:20:25.020
Let me say again, I saw Colin Kaepernick's name go by.
00:20:34.300
You remember that I've been and continue to be a huge supporter of Colin Kaepernick's protest.
00:20:46.100
Not because I agreed with all of his thoughts, but I thought it was worthy of focusing on to see what's what.
00:20:55.240
Now, the fact that you hated it is why it was good.
00:20:59.680
The fact that I pissed off half of the country with my intentional provocation is the Colin Kaepernick play.
00:21:28.000
Yeah, the whole woke movement is a backward, stupid, anti-success, anti-white movement.
00:21:39.340
If I see a sniff of it, I'm automatically going to put you at the bottom of the list for hiring.
00:21:50.360
Scott, what's it like being canceled and being labeled a racist?
00:21:54.280
No fucking different from being a Trump supporter.
00:22:02.700
For the last several years, I was also uncomfortable being around anybody black
00:22:08.040
because they had been told I'm a racist for supporting a person who happened to be Republican,
00:22:13.440
who had been branded by the asshole press completely illegitimately to believe in a narrative,
00:22:19.640
which was fucking ridiculous from the first moment on.
00:22:23.200
The fine people hoax, the fucking bleach hoax, the Russia collusion fucking hoax.
00:22:29.640
Every part of this was illegitimate, lying bullshit.
00:22:39.780
If you're going to just slime me for supporting a particular president
00:22:44.600
that I thought had a set of skills that we needed at that time,
00:22:58.560
I'm not the one who made you think that somebody voting for a Republican fucking hated you.
00:23:19.640
Every statement of anybody is always talking about many people.
00:23:25.340
No statement refers to all the people in the group, all right?
00:23:35.820
Do they ever, ever, do they ever mean all of them?
00:24:52.920
But the price is I'm going to fucking hate you.
00:25:00.340
that I'm your problem because I'm white or male.
00:25:09.360
I'm not going to pretend anymore that I like you.
