Time Text
Boys Don't Cry is how I thought it went, but it kind of goes, Boys Don't Cry.
Robert Smith from The Cure kind of messing with us there, screwing up our karaoke.
That is the song, Boys Don't Cry.
And The Cure, by the way, a British band, kind of the most popular poppish, gothy kind of a band that was ever in that genre, that milieu.
But I believe that Robert Smith and The Cure were joking.
They started doing pop songs just to make each other laugh because pop is so easy.
And so the soul like, I love you, love you, oh, I'm in love, you're a nice little girl, that was like a mockery of pop.
But then it started exploding all over the charts.
And so they went, yeah, that's what we do.
We are pop stars, and we're serious about that lovey, lovey, kiss me, kiss me song.
So they sort of became a joke, a persona, and they went with it.
I think they're still kind of kidding.
But you see that a lot in pop culture.
Someone will do something as a lark and then everyone goes, I like that thing.
And then they go, that's me.
And then I think sometimes they get caught up in it.
Like Tupac Shakir, he was just a, he loved to dance and rock and roll.
And he was in the drama club in New Orleans in school.
And then he did a movie called Juice where he was a thug.
And then everyone goes, you're a badass.
And he goes, yeah, I'm a badass, yo, thug life.
And he became this gangster OG because people told him to.
Or Lou Reed.
He was a nerdy Jewish kid who came to the city, did heroin, and they go, I like you.
Because on heroin, you're sort of rude to people.
And they go, I like you.
You're a rude dick.
And he goes, yeah, that's what I am.
Take a walk on the wild side, man.
Anyway, the reason I did this was to talk about David Buckle.
Here's the movie, Boys Don't Cry, right?
It's about, God, what's the name of the person to a party or something?
Why don't I should leave the lady alone?
I don't want any trouble here.
You gotta be kidding me.
Tom, what's up?
What's your name again?
What are you seeing in the middle?
That's Hillary Swank and Chloe 70.
So it's a true story where this trans woman went to a small town, footloose type town, and pretended to be a man.
This is a 13 and a 14-year-old, by the way.
And then the locals found out that it was a lesbian and they raped and beat her to death.
Obviously terrible.
But how about the part where this lesbian was raping a 14-year-old girl with a dildo?
They would have sex and she would sort of sneak a dildo down there to facilitate a penis and hold it like that.
And this woman, Chloe Seveny's character, didn't know that she was being dildoed by a lesbian.
So this story is seen as some sort of heart-wrenching story of homophobia and transphobia.
I don't know.
Maybe it should be called Don't Rape Teenagers.
You know what I mean?
Don't do that.
Don't shove a dildo in a prepubescent girl and expect there to be no ramifications.
I don't see her as a victim.
I see her as someone who was overpunished for a crime.
We don't have capital punishment for rape.
You're supposed to go to jail for 15 years, which is probably what should have happened to this trans woman.
But anyway, David Buckle, who is the woman, by the way, who was in the that Boys Don't Cry is based on?
I bet it's on my phone right now.
Yeah, Brandon Tina.
Brandon Tina is the name of the lesbian who convinced this girl that she was a boy and raped her with a dildo and was killed for it.
But this guy, David Buckle, he built his whole career on it, right?
And I don't know, maybe he's not popular anymore.
So he recently burnt himself alive to protest global warming.
I know it's not very Christian to speak ill of the dead, but I kind of call BS on this whole thing.
I'm sorry.
I think that he got dumped or something, or his career was in the toilet, and he wanted to be re-remembered.
And he thought, I'm feeling suicidal.
And homosexuals have a brutal suicidal rate.
I don't know why.
And he thought, I want to go into Blaze of Glory.
So he lit himself on fire using quote-unquote fossil fuels as a symbol of what we're doing to ourselves.
Dude, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me sum up the global warming BS in one perfect example.
Canada is responsible for 1.5% of the world's carbon emissions.
They are tripping over themselves to make up for that horrible crime, and it will make absolutely no difference, even if they get down to zero, nothing compared to China and America and all these other countries.
But they're still bending over backwards and torturing taxpayers to take down that 1.5%.
Doesn't that seem problematic to you?
That's what we're all doing.
We're all trying to fix this problem when we contribute in a very irrelevant way.
Did you see this?
In LA, they are painting the roads white to help with global warming because when the sun beats down on black tarmac, it's too hot.
Can you believe?
Is there any video of that?
It's one of the, it's kind of satisfying to watch, actually.
It's like someone spilling liquid paper all over the road, moving it around.
It looks like a fun job to do.
Yeah, there's video.
And I also don't even understand the physics of it.
Like, why don't you lay a white t-shirt down on a road and see how long it stays white for?
That's going to be just dark and gray and black before no time with all the cars and the dirt.
People in Los Angeles are just the worst.
I mean, maybe we should separate.
Maybe it is time for Cal exit.
Maybe California, Northern California, should just cut out the bottom and say goodbye.
And then, by the way, we cut off their water supply.
Won't that be fun?
All right.
We got a lot to talk about.
I haven't seen you in three days.
I want to talk about this video that said sleep is racist.
That's going to be fun to talk about.
And it's not really about black people in that it's about how we overindulge and then blame other people for the side effects of our overindulgence.
And then our solution, not discipline, not culpability, our solution is the government should come in and fix my problem.
Hey, government, I didn't want to get up and I just peed my pants.
Can you institute national pant cleaning, clean pants delivered by the government every day?
Because I have pee all over these.
In fact, that happened with the judge.
She defecated herself and then got mad at everyone because her chair was a mess.
I can't even exaggerate anymore.
So we'll get to that.
El Emery died.
He was a cool Marine.
Remember him?
Five years ago, he got fired as a Geico spokesman.
He's a real Marine who played a fake Marine in full metal jacket.
And he's the guy, you dirty maggot.
He's the one that had, what's his name, kill himself.
Forget the name of that character.
Great guy.
Very loved by America.
Old.
He's the America that America forgot.
But here's a clip of him from five years ago when he was fired for saying that Obama is flushing America down the toilet and turning us into a socialist hellhole.
Go ahead.
So I know that you did that Geico commercial and you played like the psychiatrist?
Yeah, I got fired.
You got fired?
Yeah, I got fired.
From Geico?
After, yeah, after the, because that A jack?
A jack wagon.
A jack wagon.
What is a jack wagon?
I just go fired you because I wasn't too kind about speaking about the administration.
So the president administration, so they fired me.
Oh, they fired you because of political reasons?
Yeah.
Just hold on a sec.
I mean, don't hold on.
Just forget it.
By the way, that's a common trick with TMZ.
If a celebrity wants to talk to the press and he doesn't want to go through a publicist and all that, they call TMZ and say, I'm going to be at the airport at this time.
Ambush me.
I did it with Milo once.
They had it all planned.
They jump out and they start throwing questions at him.
He says, yes, my thing was banned.
It was ridiculous.
And you get to do a statement and it doesn't look like an official statement.
So I guarantee you that that guy, his publicist or whatever, set up that ambush and said, just tell them about the Obama thing because no one else is being honest about this story.
So TMZ are kind of a useful conduit, just like social media.
Soon the left will be trying to ban TMZ.
All right.
What else do we have?
How are we doing for time, Dave?
We've only got, what, 20 minutes?
We're about 10 minutes in.
Oh, good, good, good.
Okay.
So we had a free speech rally today just outside of Boston.
I believe it was in Concord.
We had Sargon of Akkad, Kyle Chapman, Shiva, all regulars on the show, out there to talk about free speech.
We'll probably have Sargon on tomorrow.
I want to get that Australian chick on tomorrow, too, that sort of the Lauren Southern of Australia.
Forget her name.
What's her name again?
Sydney, I think, right?
Yeah, Sydney.
Oh, this is someone who did an Annie Mae of it.
Yeah.
Patriots Day.
Concord's about 30 minutes outside of Boston.
The weather was brutal today, so he's gorgeous.
He dated the nanny for a long time.
Anyway, here's an interesting story.
A man put cocaine on his penis and killed a woman because cocaine is arsenic, and the second your lips touch it, you will die.
Did you know that?
No, me neither.
This is BS.
I'm going to get into this with that sleep is racist video later on.
This is terrible logic.
A man would put cocaine on his penis, and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Cocaine is a common aphrodisiac and is often put on genitalia.
And if you'll ask Tevi Nix, it can go in other places that are even ruder than the front.
But it enhances the experience.
It's illegal, deeply immoral, obviously, but you can't die from it.
I've known people to die of cocaine overdoses, and it takes about a day of non-stop cocaine.
It's not heroin.
You'd probably have to snort, honestly, two eight balls, $700 worth, and just snorting that would take you all day.
And before that, you'd probably, I don't know, have a panic attack and run out of the room, run to the hospital.
You'd get too paranoid.
It's very, very difficult to OD on cocaine.
And then the last way you're going to OD is going, oh, mu.
So I think what happened here is this guy had sex with women.
He also put cocaine on his penis.
One of the women died and they went, ergo.
It was the cocaine penis.
I mean, journalists and police, they don't seem to know anything.
That's what's great about this show.
I've been around the block.
So when I see stories like this, I can use my bull detector to tell you whether it's false.
No, this woman did not die from a cocaine-covered penis.
It would have to look like a basketball of cocaine with a penis somewhere deep in the middle for her to OD on it.
This story is wrong.
And it takes a street smart host like me to tell you as much.
Here's another one I thought was funny.
This woman who is a curvy blogger.
What does it say?
Curve blogger.
That's different, I guess, from a curvy blogger.
Now, let me just explain to you how curvy works, okay?
Men don't mind an ass this big if she pays her waste tax.
So you can come out here, you can do whatever you want.
It's like a dog.
You can go chase raccoons all day, but you have to come home at the end of the day.
If your ass is out here chasing raccoons, You need to come back to at least 60% of where you went out so we can feed you and take care of you and take you to the vet.
Now, this is not, let me show you what isn't curvy.
You know, Ferraris, shampoo bottles, they all have an hourglass concept, as Joe DeVito pointed out.
This is not curvy.
Go full screen on that.
So this woman was asked to cover up when she wore her bikini through a Vegas hotel.
You know why?
Because she's dying.
It's like a junkie covered in barf.
You're not different.
You're not bodacious.
You're not pokritudinous.
You're pokridyingous.
Look at her.
Look how gross she is.
This is not a different type of body.
This is not a plus-size model.
Look at the other pictures.
Scroll down on that, Dave.
Look at that leg.
Like, can we just look at this through a doctor's eyes?
Totally free of judgment?
A medical professional would look at this and go, oh no, we've got our major problem here.
This woman is going to die.
Look at her.
Look at that cellulite.
Look at her body struggling to stay alive.
Curvy?
No, melting.
She looks like a melting blob.
Unbelievable, the lies we tell.
And once again, as is a common theme on this show, the left and their lies, their socialist lies, always hurt those they purport to help.
All right.
Also in the news today.
Oh, by the way, I guess I should show you this, cover the post.
This is us.
More about Comey, worst FBI director in history.
I don't really care.
I think this is done.
He's a turncoat.
He's a pussy.
He sucks.
And he's gone.
Oh, yeah.
So this is a funny picture.
Janice Dickinson, whom I've met before, by the way, I was having lunch at Chateau Marmont with Justin Thoreau and Jennifer Anniston.
I like to name drop quite a bit.
And Janice Dickinson came over and started harassing Jennifer and saying, oh my God, hi.
Oh, look, I'm with my friend over there.
I saw you at that party.
And I realized that, you know, there's several tiers of celebrity.
And even at the top, the Jennifer Anniston level, she has to deal with a nightmare who's like a couple tiers below her.
So they're always being harassed.
You could be God and you're getting harassed by some angel pain in the ass all the way down.
Being famous sucks.
Hey, mass shooters who want to get their name out there, it's not worth it.
Being famous blows.
But anyway, look at this picture of Janice Dickinson complaining about Bill Cosby.
And everyone is saying she looks like Caitlin Jenner.
You know why?
Because she does.
Yeah, she looks like Caitlin Jenner because these plastic surgeons, they all have the same kind of techniques.
Like what happens when a woman gets older, right?
I guess her eyes get wrinkly.
She looks like me.
Wrinkly guy.
Then we get lines here.
Then we get this neck thing.
So they inject Botox in here and in their forehead.
So they get puffy here, puffy there.
Then they get the lips.
They're trying to make their lips look young and bee stung.
So they add stuff there.
And that's all got to get pulled up, right?
So you end up all looking the same.
All plastic surgery victims look the same.
And I remember Martin Short said the best thing about it.
He said, when you see someone with plastic surgery, you never go, oh, there's a 22-year-old.
You go, oh, there's a woman who was in an unfortunate burn accident, and they managed to save her.
Thank God.
You know, her house burnt down and they managed to give her somewhat of a normal life.
Although, in Martin Short's offense, if plastic surgery does look good, like it seems to have done with Roseanne Barr or Ozzy Osborne's wife, she seemed to have come out on top, then you don't notice it.
So when we criticize plastic surgery, we're only criticizing the plastic surgery that is obvious.
I've had a ton of work done, hundreds of thousands of dollars on this, and you can't tell.
All right, we're almost done.
Starbucks boycott, I want to talk about.
These two black guys are waiting at Starbucks, and someone says, guys, you're loitering.
Can you go?
If you're not going to eat, you're not a customer here.
And they go, no, we're not going to leave.
We're waiting for a friend, they say later.
And then white people start freaking out.
The less black people are in an area, the more whites cherish them.
And their sort of commodification of blacks as pets gets less and less precious as the population of blacks increases.
But this is clearly in an area where there's not a lot of black people, so they can put them on a pedestal and say, why are you being mean to them?
They were just waiting for their friend.
Bull s ⁇ .
Sorry, I'm really good at seeing through lies today.
This show should be called the bullshit detector lie.
If you're going to Starbucks and you're going to meet a friend, you're just going to get your order, sit down, and when the friend shows up, he can go get his coffee.
It's not Thanksgiving dinner.
You don't all have to wait.
I didn't want to order my coffee because I don't know what you're going to get.
And I wouldn't want us both to get a latte Frappuccino.
So I'm just going to sit here for two hours with no friends waiting for you to show and then we can all get our Frappuccinos together.
No.
But anyway, check out this video of white people freaking out.
Why would they be asked to leave?
What was their reason for being asked to leave?
Look at this civil rights crusader.
He's a freedom rider.
So the supposition here, I'm using that word too much these days.
The assumption here is that we're living in an America where we don't like black people at certain establishments.
And Starbucks doesn't want black people at their Starbucks.
No one really believes that.
That's such an obvious lie.
Hey, boy, what are you doing in my Starbucks?
Get the hell?
We don't have Negroes in our Starbucks.
I like my fried puccinos white.
I don't like my coffee black.
It's a ridiculous lie.
And if anyone is promoting segregation, it's black people having colored only pools.
Soon they're going to want their own fountains.
Or my buddy Chadwick, who wants gay-only bars and doesn't like straits In his bars.
The normal people, people like me, don't want segregation.
Everyone else, all the minorities, they're the ones who want segregation.
Anyway, this is the last thing I wanted to talk about.
I'm just going to get serious for a second here before we go to New York.
I'm going to go outside, put on my fancy crombie, and talk to people on the streets.
But before we do that, I have to have some substance to this show.
So we bombed Syria.
I was against it.
Alex Jones is freaking out.
Look at him have a heart attack here.
But he was doing good, and that was makes it so bad.
Oh, and that's what makes it so bad.
If he'd have been a piece of crap from the beginning, it would be so bad.
But we made so many sacrifices.
And now he's crapping all over us.
It makes me sick.
And I understand that.
We're nationalists, not internationalists.
But it appears the damage has been minimized, and it was just a fireworks display.
You know, they did get what looks like chemical plants.
And by the way, we have a lot of access to information.
The president knows every flight that comes in and out of everywhere in the world.
So if they think there's chemicals, they have a more, it's more likely they're right than me.
I'm not advocating for that intervention, by the way.
Just to be crystal clear, totally against war in Syria.
If there's going to be some international meddling, I want the Christians in northern Iraq to be helped.
I want the white children of farmers in South Africa to be helped.
I want us to prioritize our culture, like Christian and South African farmers.
Syria is not a concern.
I don't care if they are gassing kids.
They're gassing kids.
They're murdering children all over the world.
Sorry, the problem's too big for me to help.
I'd rather just stick to my little zone.
But that being said, I hope it's over.
I hope it won't lead to Russia.
And I also hope that it wasn't these viral videos that made the president and Britain and was it France attack Syria because we're not dogs.
We don't run and fetch a tennis ball every time you throw it.
But look at these pictures.
Now, this isn't evidence the pictures were fake, but it sure looks like it.
Looks like a child in a grave in Syria.
Not the most, I hate to be callous, and you'll see why I can afford to be callous in a second, but you might want to update your graves.
When did we have graves like that?
3,000 years ago?
That looks basically like a cave grave.
You got to get some digging in there and put them in a box or something.
Anyway, so that's a horrible picture of a dead child.
And then you see soon after, peace.
Hi.
I'm okay.
Now, this could be a fake picture of a fake picture.
I'm not presenting this as evidence to a court of law, but it is starting to look suspicious, especially when you add them up.
There's the famous picture of the previous kid being backed by Assad and the regime.
There he is being sad.
But check out this video we see of the kid.
They were busy filming and taking photos of the boy instead of giving him first aid, and also they ignored requests by Omran's father to examine the site of the strike and the rubble.
Here's more of what Mohammed told us.
I didn't ask for anything with regard to Omran.
No media, no fame, nothing.
They photographed him without my consent.
I brought him back here so that no one would exploit him.
I shaved his head.
I even changed his name.
I prevented him from going out in the street.
Wait, isn't that guy on the media right now?
All right, here's another picture.
Poor bastard there, buried in rubble.
The white helmets are taking him.
Hey, let's take a selfie, by the way, after we rescue you.
Again, this is not pure evidence, but there's a lot of these.
Like, look at this.
I wouldn't show you on this show a horrible picture of a dead boy unless there was a picture next to it of the boy smiling with chickens, dead chickens around him.
It's chicken blood that he's got on him.
Or look at this picture.
Again, this is not evidence in a court of law, but it's starting to mount up and look pretty darn suspicious, isn't it?
Here's my favorite one.
Okay, this one is very hard to Photoshop.
Look at these children playing with a ball before they have to start acting like they've been attacked.
Uh-oh, the alarm has sounded.
And everyone's got to get down on the ground and start doing the jitterbug.
What's it called?
It was in the movie Animal House when they otistic in the nights played that song.
Look, gas masks on and everything.
Now, this could be a drill.
There's a million reasons for this.
Or what about this one?
Girl running to survive and all her family have been killed.
It's not Hollywood.
This is real in Syria.
Save Aleppo.
Poor girl running through these dead bodies.
No, actually, it's a music video.
Anyway, these go on and on.
They're all over the net.
And I've seen these with Palestine.
They call it Paliwood, where they fake these horrible deaths.
Look, I don't know if this is what led to the bombing of Syria.
It better not have been, though, because I don't like bombing.
All right, that's enough serious stuff for me.
I want to talk about this idea that sleep is racist because I think it's a great idea about how all of us, me included, tend to overindulge ourselves and then blame it on some sort of ism and say, it's not really my fault.
I'm a fat pig.
It's your fault for being mean to me.
But first, let's go meet some people on the streets.
Sa-March, de par Français.
Ques que savadi, ricit le sadoy c'est nom.
C'est la nom de la company que fét lementeau.
Wait, C'esto.
Aque, Sa Marge.
Hey, how does the French, how do the French perceive the United States today?
How do you see us?
American people?
Yes.
Very cool.
How do you feel about Trump?
It's okay.
You can insult.
I can take it.
Honestly, I don't know because I'm not very interested in the politics.
So Trump, French president or French president everywhere, I don't mind.
You don't care?
No.
Is it true that no one in France is capable of a monogamous relationship?
What?
You guys cannot not cheat.
Us?
Yes, you're always having sex.
Yep.
You're always cheating on your girlfriend.
Mitress.
Mitress.
Pous avait toujour des mitres salor.
No, not always.
What about you?
I don't have it.
You don't want?
No, I don't want.
I got my girlfriend.
And in one week.
Oh, you're gonna get married in a week?
Yep.
And are you gonna stay with her?
Yep.
Are you gonna never leave her?
I don't think so.
What if the maid is wearing one of those French maid uniforms with the garter belt and the little skirt there and she's got the feather duster and she's like, ooh, allor, and her skirt kind of rides up a bit?
Whoopsie.
Will you be at least tempted?
I lose you, man.
Where do you live?
Paris?
No, in Toulouse, South.
Ah, Toulouse.
Have you ever heard the song by the Stranglers?
Goodbye Toulouse.
We.
Hi guys, I'm woke.
I'm actually so woke that I don't sleep.
And one of the reasons I don't sleep is because sleep is racist.
Did you know that?
Black people get less sleep than other people.
And it's because they're tossing and turning.
I'm sorry to laugh.
They're tossing and turning all night, worrying about how racist America is.
Roll the tape.
Your body is a temple.
Sign is also an underfunded museum of natural history.
It shuts down at noon because I didn't get enough sleep.
Can you just pause already?
I've noticed a pattern with these videos.
A, we don't know who writes them.
And I think if someone is preaching you this, this controversial diatribe, should you know who wrote it?
I want to take them to task because they write crazy crap with brutally terrible logic.
And another thing I've noticed, B, what they do is they come up with a thing like sleep is racist, and then they sort of buttress it with about a minute of facts.
So no one makes it down to the second minute.
So you see this crazy statement, you see the opening, and you go, yeah, all right, that's pretty true.
No, a good article starts out with the lead, tells you what it is, and explains why immediately.
But we don't get that here.
We get a bunch of motherhood statements, jargon like, you should get a good night's sleep.
Thanks for the wake-up call.
Hit it.
Four, I am a terrible sleeper.
It turns out I'm not alone in this.
Okay.
This is hard to hear, but no shocker, really.
The Centers for Disease Control say insufficient sleep is a public health epidemic.
More than a third of Americans aren't getting enough sleep.
The recommended amount of sleep varies by age, with newborns needing the most and adults needing at least seven hours.
But while over 60% of Americans aren't getting enough restful sleep, there's a striking disparity when you look at race.
Can you just pause it here?
You started out this video talking about how there's a sleep deprivation epidemic, and that was multiracial.
And now you're focusing on race.
So you get all that previous research is jammed into the black problem.
I would wager why, I agree, by the way, that we're not getting enough sleep, and I would wager it's because of overindulgence.
I think millennials are checking their phones too much.
They're looking at their phones until they fall asleep looking at their phones.
They wake up in the middle of the night and check their phones.
And the second they wake up, they check their phones.
They also play way too many video games.
They play video games all night long, literally all night long.
And I would wager that black people play Fortnite for longer than white people, young people I'm talking about.
Although I think the average age of video game players is 30, so they're not so young anymore.
But in a community, in a culture where one in four are born out of wedlock without dads, you're going to have 75% fatherless households in the black community.
And you know what that means?
Less discipline.
And you know what less discipline means?
More video games.
And you know what more video games means?
Less sleep.
But let's hear your theory, Miss Woke.
A little over half of black Americans reported getting seven hours or more of sleep.
Sleep is essential to health.
Everyone has to do it.
Thanks.
So why aren't Black Americans getting enough of it?
I just told you because of Fortnite.
What does a good night's sleep look like?
You.
A good night's sleep is spending at least 85% of the time sleeping in the bed.
Like an actual bed.
Not on the floor, not on the couch.
Thank you.
Just stop here.
Did you know that, by the way?
That you should not sleep on the floor.
We actually have PSAs in Australia that tell Aboriginals not to sleep on the road because they'll get hit by a car.
But here in the West, I guess Australia is Western, but here in America, we know not to sleep on the ground.
Thank you for that tip.
And by the way, one other thing.
You want to have restless sleep?
Try being an entrepreneur.
Try tossing and turning all night because you don't know if your vendors are going to be supplying the product on time.
Try worrying all night about getting audited.
Trying worrying all night as a restaurant owner that you're going to get dinged for fines.
Running a business in this country, and America is one of the easiest places to run a business.
Canada is much worse.
Europe is brutal.
England is incredibly socialist.
Canada will ream you up the butt for every little slight transgression.
This is why we got to venerate entrepreneurs because they're not getting sleep.
And that I can prove.
But anyway, let's hear why blacks don't get sleep.
Someone's desk.
Sorry, Sam.
Falling asleep in 30 minutes or under.
Yeah, Japan.
Waking up only once per night.
And if you do wake up, it's for less than 20 minutes.
And don't forget the recommended seven hours or more of sleep.
Yeah, you said that.
Sleep is spending less than 74% of sleeping time in bed, taking more than an hour to fall asleep, waking up numerous times throughout the night.
And if you do wake up, it's for 41 minutes.
Shut up, you spoiled brat.
I'm just sick of people whining all the time.
I'm not getting enough sleep.
If you're not getting enough sleep, you're not tired enough.
Okay?
We don't live in a country where you don't get enough sleep.
You don't get enough food.
There's sleep and food everywhere.
People fall asleep with hamburgers in their mouth.
Go ahead.
Getting too little or bad sleep can have this 1910.
There's a suspicion that disparities in sleep are also contributing to disparities in other areas in Health like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and maybe even early death.
All these health risks and conditions disproportionately affect black Americans, who are five times more likely to get short sleep.
Just pause.
Black women live longer than black men.
So I don't know where you get this idea that black people are dying of heart disease and diabetes all the time.
Poor people tend to die of things like lung cancer from smoking and all other things you get from not having a relaxed lifestyle.
But she's about to pin all this on racism.
And I got to jump ahead here because I want to talk.
This is their logic, right?
Black Americans are sleep deprived.
It can't be Fortnite.
So that's one statement.
Black Americans are sleep deprived.
Sure, fine.
Racism causes stress.
Yes, I agree with that.
Stress can lead to sleep deprivation.
All right.
Therefore, black Americans are getting less sleep because of racism.
No, that's not how logic works, okay?
You might as well say homosexuals are dying because people make fun of their red leather short shorts.
Really?
Yes.
Allow me to explain.
Homosexuals in America have a high suicide rate.
True.
Homosexuals wear red short shorts.
That is pretty true.
Being made fun of causes stress.
Yes.
Stress can lead to suicide.
Yes.
Suicide is more common, as I said, so it must be coming from being teased for the red leather short shorts.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You don't get to do that.
You don't get to say a bunch of things that are true and then conflate them all together.
Logic 101 here.
All right, go ahead, Fro.
First point to stress caused by discrimination as one strong possibility.
One strong possibility.
In 2000, over 700 published studies have established a connection between discrimination and physical and mental wellness.
In one study, scientists found that the more discrimination a person felt, the less deep sleep they experienced.
Sure, they're called black straps.
Participants of this study perceived more discrimination and slept more in light sleep and less in deep sleep.
Poor sleep quality is also strongly associated with how much money you make.
Black Americans are more likely to live in poverty compared to black people.
Can you just pause it here?
I'm sorry to interrupt again.
And by the way, did you see that montage of articles?
Freddie Mac sued for racial discrimination.
Ergo, they're not getting enough sleep.
You're not allowed to do that.
All right, go ahead.
I forgot what I was going to say.
It's a function of economics.
Oh, yeah, that was it.
Pause, pause.
If I was black, and I'm not, although the Irish have been called the N-words of Europe, you know, no blacks, no Irish, no dogs.
Although I hear that sign was actually a myth.
It only was put up like once.
But if I was black, I would be embarrassed by this constant explanation for failure, this total lack of culpability.
We're not getting enough sleep.
Why?
Because you were racist to me.
That makes someone look weak.
I live in New York City.
I get insulted a hundred times a day.
Hey, move it.
Forget about what are you doing over there?
Hey, f ⁇ face.
Hurry up.
That's life in New York.
I don't sit in the shower and cry every night because someone was mean to me.
This whole idea that we can't succeed, blacks can't get sleep, blacks can't eat properly because someone is racist makes them look like complete pussies.
All right, go ahead.
Poor working shifts probably won't get the best sleep compared to folks who have a consistent schedule.
Generally, people who have more opportunities, more control over their lives, are also better sleepers.
There's a connection between more control over their lives.
Poor communities are faced with higher pollution, elevated noise levels, crime, greater population density, and sometimes limited access to air conditioning.
Can you just pause it?
Limited access to air conditioning.
By the way, an air conditioner is $200 and they last infinity years.
Your AC is not going to break.
Those cheap ones you get at Home Depot, those $200 ones, they make a small bedroom freezing cold and they last forever.
They're worth way less.
I mean, they cost way less than a dollar a day.
Meanwhile, bums seem to manage to get $12 of vodka in them a day.
So you can't afford a dollar of cold air a day?
Bull.
And by the way, this whole video applies much more to entrepreneurs than black people.
Entrepreneurs are broke for the first two years they start a business.
Entrepreneurs live in poor neighborhoods.
Entrepreneurs are starting from scratch.
Entrepreneurs are stressed out all night.
Do you see them whining in a video?
I don't get enough sleep.
You're mean to me.
My life is so hard.
Oh.
All right, this is getting boring.
Go ahead.
Families are middle income.
They're more likely to live in poorer neighborhoods, which these environmental factors could still influence their sleep.
All of these bands could still influence.
So now the pollution in the air in the poor neighborhood is seeping into the bedroom and having them cough all night and they can't sleep.
And that's why they're not incredibly successful mathematicians.
It's downright embarrassing.
Stop whining.
And by the way, this woman's obese.
Look at her.
Look at my overalls and look at her enormous overalls that are doing hard work.
Those poor overalls aren't going to get any sleep tonight.
You're stressing your overalls out.
Talk about stressed denim.
This poor woman's outfit is working like a dog.
Go ahead, Chubby, and tell me how horrible your life is.
Stress can compound on existing health conditions.
A consistent finding is that when we see insulin, we also start seeing signs of insulin resistance, which is a precursor to diabetes.
We start to see signs of insulin resistance.
You know what a precursor to diabetes is?
Overindulging yourself with fast food.
If you go to McDonald's and KFC every single day and eat crappy food, crappy fried food, you're going to get diabetes.
So overindulgence can be rough on sleep.
And that, by the way, is my message for this whole video.
I call BS on racial discrimination causing sleep loss.
Come on.
Sleep loss is caused by overindulgence.
It's caused by staring at your phone till you fall asleep staring at your phone.
It's caused by video Games and your unhealthiness, a big part of it is overindulgence.
You're a fat pig because you eat too much fast food.
And yes, that includes people on food stamps.
You overindulge yourselves.
And all of America, this is white, black, everyone.
Stop overindulging yourself, then getting sick and bloated and complaining that you're sick and bloated and trying to blame me for your lot in life.
Okay, curvy ladies.
You're not curvy.
You're dying.
Go ahead, homosexual man.
Long-term stress can be chronic elevation.
Another trick here.
Sorry.
Stop using pictures from the civil rights era when blacks genuinely had a gripe.
Okay?
You can't show me some poor bastards in line during the Great Depression and say, we're not getting sleep.
And then show some fat lady with triple D's going, I'm not getting enough sleep because I was in a lineup all day waiting for a job in 1930.
I'm a time-traveling victim.
Go ahead.
Which suppress the immune system, increase blood pressure, contribute to obesity, and more.
Oh, now it's my fault you're fat.
Half of all black adults in the U.S. contributes to other serious sleep conditions like sleep apnea, a disorder where breathing is.
Just pause it.
Here's a study by me called Why You're Fat.
You burn more calories.
No, sorry, you burn less calories than you take in.
I'm going to write a diet book that'll be this thick and just say that on every page.
You are burning less calories than you take in.
That's why you're fat.
And yes, that will lead to all kinds of health problems from lack of sleep to death.
We have something like half a million obesity-related deaths a year in America.
That's not from me saying the N-word.
That's from you saying the KFC word.
During sleep.
And sleep apnea increases the risk.
Sleep apnea is racism now?
Bad sleep apnea.
What isn't racism?
Every single cell of your body has a clock that cycles on and off throughout the day.
All these clocks are producing feedback loops.
So when you disrupt the big clock in your brain, you're probably going to disrupt some of the best.
Can you just pause it here?
This is like gay Alexa.
They have some homosexual millennial read a Wikipedia page and then say it back to me.
Hey, gay Alexa, what are cells?
I don't need you to tell me this.
It's like Justin Trudeau when he was talking about particle theory.
And you could tell he just read the first two lines of Wikipedia in his limousine on the way to the talk.
Even modest sleep loss can trigger the immune system's inflammatory response to disease.
What are we talking about now?
It all becomes a vicious cycle, leading to worsening health conditions.
Having enough good sleep, it's a big deal.
But just telling people to get more sleep probably isn't that effective.
Fixing the sleep gap means handling it at both the individual level and the policy level.
Having accessible and affordable housing your jobs.
Just pause.
The government needs to help you get more sleep.
We need more sleep policies.
By the way, Maggie Thatcher, when she was prime minister, she slept four hours a night.
Do you know how many videos there are about how horrible it was for her to be prime minister of Britain?
Not a ton.
Go ahead.
Workers.
This is ridiculous, by the way.
And more time sleeping.
Employers could use sleep wellness programs to incentivize workers to catch up on their Zs, though a government mandate would make this more widespread.
Stop.
Did you catch that?
Oh my God, I'm glad we didn't turn it off.
The BBC pays its employees.
The BBC is a government institution, by the way.
The BBC pays its employees to sleep.
Wow.
By the way, where are the ER doctors in this video?
The guys that will go two days without sleep?
Or how about the cops who do the night shift?
Yeah, that's black and white, by the way.
Who do the night shift?
And then on Sunday, they got to take their kids to a baseball game so they can't sleep.
And they don't get to sleep till lunch that day.
So they're up for 36 hours, sometimes two entire days, by the way.
No talk of that.
Where's the cop and the doctor lack of sleep, the EMT lack of sleep?
No talk of that.
What we're talking about here, though, and yes, you did just hear that right.
We need the government to institute policies.
This is insane.
To institute policies that force us to get more sleep.
What are you talking about?
We can't even use joke analogies anymore.
I used to make this joke analogy where I'd say, if the government forces all to brush our teeth, cavities would just plummet and we would have an 80% rise in dental health.
Do you want to live in a country where the government forces you to brush your teeth?
Now I can't make that crazy analogy anymore because people are saying it in real life.
We need the government to tell us to go to bed.
And by the way, seven hours?
That's a ton.
That's like you'd go to bed at 11 and get up at 6 and you'd still get seven hours.
So you can't do, wait a minute, my math isn't great.
What does that leave you?
Like 18 hours to work every single day?
That's a ton of time to work.
We're overworking?
We're working more than 18 hours a day?
Bull.
You're watching TV more than 18 hours a day.
You lazy fat pigs.
Go ahead.
Some researchers are using community outreach to guide neighborhoods.
Community outreach.
Go to bed, people.
Go to bed.
It seems pretty clear that there's a correlation between bad sleep and poor health outcomes.
It's still not known if you give people better sleep, if those health outcomes will then improve.
And this research is still ongoing, so this is going to be a really key thing to know that if we can improve people's sleep, we may be able to make them healthier.
And maybe tackling other inequalities in the U.S. would be more of a reality and less of a dream.
Oh, what a disgusting mess.
You make a bunch of really loose, crappy suppositions.
I hope I'm using that word correctly.
Then you have a sort of a plucky cello boop boop boop boop with some keyboards and some happy music and a cat jumps off of bed and now stop being racist because I can't sleep.
We cannot demonize food stamps and the children who are depending on them the millions of people.
Have you seen gigantic children?
No, you can't point to the surfer and point to the Dominican person who's doing America.
We're absolutely fat and lazy.
That's it, folks.
We went a little over time there.
Quite a long intro.
I want to play a fun game with this final video.
I'm going to play the audio first, and you try to guess what you're listening to.
Ready?
All right, Dave.
Hit the audio.
I'll pay you a million dollars if you can guess what this is.
Sounds like an angry duck is trying to get something of value underneath a chest of drawers.
Wrong.
You want to see what it is?
It is two ladies who are deaf having a sign language argument about a man they love.
Go full screen on that.
Fuck!
Can you imagine how loud that would be if they weren't deaf?
All right, that's enough.
That's enough.
If I saw two deaf women screaming on me, I would say, ladies, ladies, there's not enough of me to go around.
One of you are going to have to win this fight.
