n all the way from Hillary Clinton ordered a hit, etc., whereas I have a nuanced feeling that I don't know anything about why Hillary may or may not have done it. There's no evidence I've seen that would suggest she ordered a hit. But there are two competing thoughts. Anyway I already talked about that. So that one is fake news by making it bigger than actually what I do believe.

Four: claimed Hillary was likely to trigger a race war and caused an uptick in domestic racial violence. We all witnessed that. So that was a correct prediction. I don't even know why it's on the list of criticisms when it's objectively clearly true.

And then the last one I just went through where I was intentionally being offensive. I thought people would realize it was supposed to be funny. But here's the funny part. The thing that offended people about my statement that men hold back when they argue with women is that I said the pushback would be too violent. You know, there would be too much of a cost to argue with women. And what happened when I said that there was too much of a cost? So in pushing back, Caleb just made my point. My point is you can't talk about this sort of thing without getting in too much trouble.

Do you know what would have happened if I had said this sort of thing about men? See, my point was that you can argue with men with low risk, but arguing with women is a higher risk. Do you know what would have happened if I'd said the same offensive things about men? Well you don't have to wonder because the same blog post had offensive things about men in it. That was the main context of the post. He pulled out the one thing that was offensive to someone else. So anyway he proved my point.

Anyway, that was so I hope this is not too self-serving. I called my shots ahead of this. I told you yesterday early that people would be coming after me with lots of made-up stories and that they would be remarkable and they might even sound real when you heard them. Don't you think that anybody who read these points out of context without my explanation, don't you think they would believe them? Well you don't have to wonder about it because every major publication except Billboard — I think Billboard is the only one who got the facts right — but that would make something like seven out of eight major publications got everything about me wrong.

They called me a men's rights activist because I once made fun of men's rights activists. That's it. I once made fun of them and so therefore I am one. And they call me far-right when I'm closer to far left. So if you're wondering how prevalent is fake news, look no further than this example where you just saw a whole page of it just about me right in front of you. And I told you it was going to happen and then it happened. And it's pretty easy to demonstrate that it's fake.

They are afraid of you Scott. Well are they afraid of me? This latest blowup I don't think was about me. Here's what I think it was. I think it was about Kanye and I think it was about people telling him he couldn't leave his thought bucket. Now the problem with telling Kanye he can't leave his thought bucket is that his entire message is, hey you people, you're stuck in a thought bucket. So every time they criticize Kanye for leaving his thought bucket they are validating his entire point and they're bringing him one step closer to the presidency whether they like it or not.

Let me give you some persuasion advice. It's become very popular for people on the right to say that the Democrats are doing some kind of — what do they call it? There are a few phrases they use but keeping the black voters on the Democratic plantation or something. So there's a couple different ways they say it but they're both allusions to slavery. I find those — the plantation — I would abandon that as a phrase that you want to use if you're trying to be persuasive. I think it's working against you.

Here's what you don't want to say if the other side already thinks you're a bunch of racists: plantation. Right? If you believe that people are rational then your analogy about how it's sort of analogous to slavery but it's a slavery of the mind, I get the concept and the analogy is not that bad. But here's the problem. People are not smart. They don't follow logic exactly. We're not a logical species, all of us, not just other people. All of us. We're not rational. So we don't follow that concept very well. We get it but it's not persuasive.

Analogies — have I ever told you that analogies are not persuasive? All right, but association is persuasive. And people didn't like the association of Kanye agreeing with Candace Owens agreeing with conservatives, etc. It was an association problem.

So when the people on the right say, hey you Democrats, you're trying to keep African-Americans on the plantation, what you've really done is the people on the right who use those words like plantation have associated themselves with slavery. So they'
