This guy, oh my god, this, this guy, oh my god, it is this guy.
Louder with Crowder is brought to you in part by Crowder.com!
Crowder.com!
Soloinos, where is Max Kumar?
We are Mug Club, not the faggots, YouTube heroes, motherfuckers!
What the fuck!
Ha ha ha!
Last I left you, Blacko Mugskabar was pumping mugs under the YouTube radar in record time.
And the elites in Silicon Valley were starting to notice.
But like any success tale, triumph always comes with its own whole new set of hiccups.
Okay.
What is this?
What the fuck... ...is this?
What do you think I am?
Ben Shapiro?
I've been selling... ...cans with cancer... ...and a hat?
RESPONDEME!
ESSE PORSCHE EST MAKLUM SUPERIOR!
MIRA SES!
TIENES LOS GUSOS DE MAKLUM!
TIENES TRIEN MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!
TIENES SILENT ME!
TIENES ESSE STRANGER!
TIENES ALGUNAS LIDAS!
Yes, call!
Two.
No two, no two.
Two.
Condencia.
No.
Oh, you don't like it, right?
No.
Are you happy?
Yes. Yes, I'm very happy.
Are you happy?
It will be over.
No! It won't be over!
Yes, it will be over.
No! No!
Please, no!
Help! No!
It's about to feel stupid.
...the story that was being told about... ...their coverage.
It's what... You see the man up there?
Susan was just...
Why?
I don't know.
♪ ♪
♪ Hmm.
A little hot.
Everything's going to taste like rubber for a little while.
I have a... I have a... I bit my tongue the other day, right in the tip of my tongue, and now it's turned into a canker sore.
Aww.
So I'm talking like Brian Stelter.
You poor thing.
So, uh... That accent's coming up, isn't it?
We have a lot to, yes, we have a lot to get to today.
We're going to, of course, Black History Month.
We've always honored that here at Loud Earth Crowder.
We honor Black History Facts.
We honor it, really, I would say, more reverentially than most programs.
And ironically, it coincides right now with the left being more blatantly racist out in the open than I think They intend to be.
So we'll be talking about Whoopi Goldberg, we'll be talking about John Oliver, we'll be talking about some of the incidents that have been occurring.
And, you know, wrapping this all up in a nice bow.
It's always sort of ironic to me when people on the left say, well, don't see anyone through a group.
Let's not group people together.
What?
Well, unless you're dividing them.
Right, yes, exactly.
Or promoting one group over the other.
Right, exactly.
It depends on which it's like, well, yesterday you were black and we needed you to burn down a few buildings.
Today we need a mail to set the Penn State swimming records.
So you've served your purpose.
By the way, if we're—and who knows, because we're going to be hitting some third rails today.
Oh boy.
We hit third rails every day.
If you miss us here on YouTube, this is the only—it's just—if we don't tell you that we're not going to be doing a show the next day, that means the show is still going on.
You can tune in on Rumble, or of course on Mug Club, where we do an extra full hour of show, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
Eastern.
I know, sometimes we start—10 a.m.
means, like, 10-15.
But that's an old comedy club rule.
We start a little late because you guys keep funneling in.
If you're mad at us...
Don't tune in at 10.15.
Blame comedy.
It's your fault.
And today we'll be playing newest gender pronouns.
I really do have the lisp in the tongue.
It's a little- It's a lisp in the tongue.
You should just lean into it.
It's like I was stung by bees, like Macaulay Culkin in My Girl.
Are you gonna die on show?
Get my glasses!
You don't wear glasses.
And I also have a question for you.
What do you know about the model minority theory?
We're going to be talking about that.
Comment below.
Before you watch it, it's always interesting for us to see what you know, and people will often comment.
The best thing is to comment, and then comment below your comment once you watch the segment and see if your opinion has changed.
We're going to get into John Oliver and, of course, the lawsuit right now with Harvard, one of the Carolina universities, and I always forget which one.
North Carolina.
The good one?
I don't know.
Is there a good one?
In my mind, I'm gone to one of the Carolinas.
So before we move on, we have Gerald A. here.
The blow-up doll is in repair.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
That blow-up doll is dead, Steven.
I killed it.
No he's not.
You can't kill an inanimate object.
Yes you can.
But its spirit lives on.
How are you?
I'm okay.
I haven't slept.
Really?
It happens every now and then.
Why?
I don't know.
No?
I have no idea why.
I think I was, uh, you know, I have a checkup today.
Uh-huh.
So, you know, I get a little nervous when you have your little checkups.
You get nervous for a checkup?
Well, I just want to make sure that I beat the test.
And, uh, we also have here in the studio, you know him, you'll love him, uh, and he's going to be with me.
Just so, we have announcements coming up.
Go to lottowithcrowder.com slash tour.
I am going to be back on the road with this Gentlemen, doing stand-up now, first time since the pandemic started.
Do you have the overlay there?
The next show we do together is March 26 at the Victoria Theatre in Evansville, Indiana.
You can go buy the tickets, and we have a few more dates that'll be coming up.
Probably about five dates this spring.
Dave Landa, how are you, sir?
Ahoy!
Good, and this weekend, the Denver Improv?
I don't know, I have a hemorrhoid.
It's ridiculous.
I've never had one.
Dave, we're live.
I thought you were sitting a little taller.
It's the inner tube.
No, I'm not going to use a donut.
I'm going to take the pain.
Okay.
I don't think so.
Take the pain.
I just didn't want to look at that in a mirror.
I've never done it.
I have no idea what Tokunawa's looking at.
He's looking down.
What are you looking at?
Your sub?
Have you had a hemorrhoid?
He's looking down like this the entire time.
Maybe he's got a hemorrhoid, too.
He could have a hemorrhoid.
I don't really think that a physical examination through his pants would help.
What do you think?
You know we're going to be talking about Asians today there, Tokunawa?
A walnut.
Yeah?
You excited about it?
Really excited.
Yeah, you sound it.
Yeah.
Hey, by the way, did you know this?
Did you know Kamala Harris?
Did you know she's the first Asian vice president?
Right, that's what you're telling me.
Do you claim her as one of your own?
Absolutely not.
Okay.
She's a lot of firsts.
A lot of first thing vice presidents.
She's been rejected by many racial minorities.
Yes, there's a lot of people that don't claim her.
That's a fact.
She's the first president vice president.
Yeah.
She's a last round draft pick and then traded.
I think that's the first sort of a woman.
Speaking of which, the first thing we are going to get to, your favorite, Stephen Colbert.
I love Colbert.
Yesterday he made this, now you know about the Spotify controversy, we addressed it yesterday with Joe Rogan, it's absurd, talk about Orwellian, everyone else trying to exert their pressure, Black Rock Group, they're trying to of course make sure that you have all these warnings.
Well, you know, you would think that Stephen Colbert, being an entertainer, someone who necessarily should defend freedom of speech, of course.
Of course, it's a little different when you work for one of the major media conglomerates.
Created this cringy, fake ad.
I'm sorry, they refer to it as sketch, but fake advertisement condemning Spotify for misinformation.
Here we go.
We here at Spotify have been under fire recently for amplifying COVID-19 misinformation.
In fact, our podcasts have faced so much scrutiny that most people haven't even noticed that we're also spreading misinformation with music!
Introducing Spotify Misinformation Playlist!
All your favorite songs strategically assembled in an order that results in harmful inaccuracies!
You'll get...
I heard the shot changes the shape of you.
One day you're only human, the next day she-wolf.
50% homo sapien, 50% lady coyote.
Everybody will say, oh my god, who let the dogs out?
Our playlists are sure to have you moving your body away from medicine.
Did you know the COVID vaccine may cause discoloration of the urine or feces?
And also big balls, testy inflation, swollen nuggets, and gigantic jewels.
After I got vaxxed, my humps hurt!
So log on to Spotify, where we hit shuffle on your understanding of basic facts.
This Stephen Colbert comedy sketch has been brought to you by Pfizer.
Oh, well that explains it.
Yeah.
Oh, I do love Mad Libs.
Yes!
I think I felt a tumor grow while I was watching that.
That's just your hemorrhoid, actually.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
Is it not just hope?
I think it's benign.
Oh, that's tame.
It's more of a friction burn, really.
Boy, I sure hope it's malignant.
Uh, here's the thing.
Think about this for a second.
We live in an era where anti-fascists are supporting mandates, punching people in the face, who demand freedom, and we live in an era where entertainers and comedians are trying to get other comedians removed for opinions.
Well, actually for interviewing people.
Yes, doctors.
Some would say when you have a Ph.D.
and you may be helped, you know... Well, it's not like those with Ph.D.s in philosophy who condemned Rogan, but the point remains.
Just because you have a Ph.D.
in virology from Harvard does not make you an expert.
No, no.
I've always said that.
No, it's the third string writer at Colbert who should be telling us what to inject into our body.
Yes, I really enjoyed that.
What was the budget on that?
I hope nothing.
That was terrific.
Yeah.
Can you imagine the pitch meeting?
It's like, just imagine this.
We open on microphones.
Yeah.
Yeah, because we're talking about podcasts.
And then we turn up the volume.
And it's like, they go, do you mind if we have someone sit in here?
And it's one of those drug representatives.
That happened one time when I went to the doctor's office.
And they said, by the way, do you mind if we have someone sit in?
I go, who?
They said, well, she's here for Prilosec.
I was like, what?
No.
No, she's not.
No.
And by the way, she's attractive.
And you're about to, you know, put a finger up my ass.
No, I don't want her to sit in.
The only misinformation in that is that it was comedy.
Yes.
I don't understand how in any way what it... Just... My head hurts!
This is... Neil Young was anti-establishment.
That was the whole thing.
Well, back then.
Well, no, it turns out he's just a selfish prick who only cares about his own wallet because he doesn't care about you.
He doesn't care about anything.
You don't walk away.
What?
The Spotify royalties?
He didn't want that?
Who cares?
The guy's a multi-millionaire.
Somebody has a difference of opinion.
We have no idea what the actual results of these vaccines and boosters will be in the future.
That's a factual statement because there can be no long-term studies.
That's true.
There are no long-term studies, so we don't know.
So talking to different doctors about their opinions is in no way misinformation.
The only thing that is misinformation is this guy who used to be, I guess, a comic, telling people that it's misinformation.
Right, yeah, but he needs the dollar bills from Pfizer.
Big Pfizer.
Could be Moderna.
It's unlikely.
He missed out on the Johnson & Johnson one.
Did they watch the Dancing Needle sketch and they were like, you know what guys, what we need to do is take this and we need to make it shittier.
Is there a way we can do that?
We can't afford dancing needle costumes this time.
We want to take what we did that upset everybody with the Dancing Eagles and let's build some real momentum with that, okay?
Yeah, that'd be good.
Just go to Google and take album covers.
Right.
And see if anything sort of looks like medicine.
Let's just put them together like it's a board game because that's a pretty much out... Well, I heard that Jimmy Fallon just kills by smashing eggs on one of the Hemsworth brothers' heads, so this is gonna be gold.
He just referenced Baja Men.
I know.
The bar is so low.
You don't get lower than that.
Tomorrow's sketch is going to be a deep dive into the Macarena.
Yes.
And how it swept the country.
Hey kids, have you heard of Mambo No.
5?
It wasn't me!
You're blue, the vaccine is a lie.
What about that?
Would that be funny?
No.
It's misinformation.
I don't know.
Have we just become old and out of touch that this is what the kids find funny?
No.
I think it's the opposite.
I think it's old people watching this and going, That's clever!
I didn't even know they made that song.
It is, because they've been trapped inside for two years because every show they watch just terrifies them.
It's either Days of Our Lives or this.
Yeah, I think his audience is basically the equivalent of the victim in Scarface, where they hold his eyes open to make him watch his friend die, only it's Colbert.
You're gonna watch Colbert!
Now!
I like how they're like, whatever, boomer.
Can you imagine a boomer's life?
It's just watching TV that tells you to buy catheters.
That's true.
You'll fall down a staircase.
You should wear a life alert necklace.
You're going to die in the tub.
You're going to catch a vaccine.
Every day is just, or you're going to, not a vaccine.
You need a vaccine or you catch a virus.
Like every day is just terror that you're going to die.
Well, they are.
Yeah, but you're already so close to death.
But you live with the hope that that hover around will get you to the Grand Canyon.
It's true.
Will that one charge get me from here?
Why not live your life the most at that age?
Well, you know, because it doesn't sell.
You want them in front of the tube.
You want every boomer in front of the tube watching your vaccine sketches.
I don't know if it's a violation of payola laws, you know, where you need to let people know if there's an advertisement.
Because they think Bill Devane's silver dollar says bitcoin.
Reverse mortgage, Dave.
It's all in reverse mortgage.
Yeah, what we do is we give Tom Selleck our house, and he pays us, and then we leave you kids with debt.
And then I took the vaccine because that nice man in the needle costume told me to, but I have lupus, and now I wear a leather helmet, and my head touches my shoulder blade.
Your father got the myocarditis.
I found him in the basement eight days later.
But it's better than drinking fish tank cleaner, like our old president said.
At least that's what Colbert told me.
He said to inject bleach!
Yes.
Gosh.
Okay.
Hey, you know what?
A little bit of a silver lining here.
Let's get a glimmer of light because it is Black History Month!
So, we honor black historical moments in history here.
Black History Month.
They get a whole month.
It's a little, you know.
Well, they get a whole month every, well, leap year.
But it's the shortest month.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Well, every now and then they get a longer month.
I mean, come on.
We could do better.
I don't, well the gays get a longer month.
They, well... And the blacks get a... They get a lot of extra days.
Here's the thing, who do you think, who do you think signed off on Black History Month, okay?
Of course it was a white guy, and why do you think they picked February?
Fine, fine, give them February!
God, if only there were like a month that isn't really a month... February!
Black History Month!
Done!
What one is gay history month?
March?
July?
I have no idea.
I just assume it's March.
It has to be in a warmer month, obviously, because you can't wear the outfits in February.
If you want to parade naked down the street, you need some heat.
Chalk sock is not January.
Oh, our month is supposed to be February?
Can we give it to the blacks?
I can't wear my leather jeans in this.
We don't like the cold, man!
Guess we're at a standstill.
So, today we honor specific- We can celebrate safely inside.
Yes.
Me, I love rockets.
Hope you have your inner tube seat.
So, we celebrate moments in black Hollywood history.
So, a couple of black history facts, and all references are available at lightearthcrider.com.
We always provide our references, link in the description.
1939, Hattie McDaniel became the first black woman to win an Academy Award for her supporting role in Gone with the Wind.
Oh wow, look at that.
You have one too, you know the Hollywood.
Yes I do.
In 1963, Sidney Poitier was the first black man to take home the Oscar for his leading role in Lillies of the Field.
They call me Mr. Lillies!
And at a 1960 screening of Psycho, Calvin Watson of Peoria, Illinois was the first black man to yell, BITCH HE GOT A KNIFE!
This is a unique time in history because in honor of Black History Month merging with the Chinese New Year.
They're converging with the Chinese New Year.
This is the year of the tiger.
Did you know that?
It is!
So we just put it all together to show the historical interactions between the different cultures over this past year.
The suspect in that vicious attack on a 65-year-old Asian-American woman in Hell's Kitchen is a convicted murderer out on parole after killing his own mother.
38-year-old Brandon Elliott's under arrest tonight.
He's facing assault and hate crime charges.
He was released from prison just two years ago after serving a little over a decade for killing his mother.
That brutal head-stop attack on a 61-year-old Asian man in Harlem.
The suspect arrested is now charged with a hate crime.
That victim remains in a coma.
I need to review the clips before on air.
You didn't tell me that was a white supremacy montage to Survivor.
Oh.
No, it's terrible.
Man.
Well, the song was actually on the newscast.
That was the weird thing.
Yeah, it was.
I don't know what they're doing now, and I don't know how they get the copyright.
Someone's greasing the palms a little bit.
Somebody is.
But we're going to have more Black History Month facts for you tomorrow, because it's Black History Month!
I think just under a decade is fair for killing your mother.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
You're like, what?
Hey, speaking of black and historical artifacts, Whoopi Goldberg.
Is, uh... Still alive?
Yeah, she was, uh, discussing yesterday... Of Sister Act?
Yes.
Oh.
Both one and two.
Back in the habit.
Yes.
Or as I refer to it, The Better Act.
The Better Act.
Yeah, The Better Act.
I mean, I swear sequels are funnier.
Yeah, I know.
Especially funnier than one.
I mean, it goes Home Alone 2, and then Sister Act 2.
Yep.
Because at this point, like, oh, how is she going to disguise herself now?
I know, it's...
Blends in.
Also, why is it like, it's just like, it's a choir and she's the only black woman, if I'm remembering correctly?
Like, how many choirs have you seen?
That's a fair point.
Yeah.
And if you're gonna hide her, wouldn't you hide her in a choir with more diversity?
Exactly.
I've never seen a choir of nuns and I was raised Catholic.
Well, that's true too.
I've never seen them either.
That's because they were shooed out by the priest.
Gross!
I gotta be honest, I've never seen a black nun.
I'm just being honest.
Well, yeah, a nun, but my point is she didn't have to be a nun.
She could have, you know, been at Farrakhan's church.
But as far as black nuns, there are none.
Oh, Lord.
Dad jokes.
Thank you.
This is where we are.
My dad joke, they've been initiated now with the twins.
Yeah.
Just turning everything into a song.
Maybe keep it to yourself?
I will.
I don't know.
Well, I just haven't seen one.
I'm sorry.
No, we haven't seen black nuns.
I grew up in Detroit in a Catholic Well, listen, it's a cultural thing.
Many black women, they don't like to fly.
That's true.
So, yesterday, when discussing the Tennessee school that banned the book Miles, I didn't say it correctly, Miles, Whoopi Goldberg, Which is an excellent book, by the way.
Whoopi Goldberg said, and this is the theme today, I think I've put my finger on it.
Hold on a second, why do they say this is racist on the left?
Oh, they have no idea what racism actually is, as seen by Whoopi Goldberg yesterday saying that the holocaust... Let me just be clear.
The holocaust was not, in fact, about race.
No, I know you think this is, this is a real clip.
A Tennessee school pulled the graphic novel Mouse out of their lessons on the holocaust because it contained some nudity and some bad language.
Personally, I'm shocked because, you know, given the story of Maus, I'm surprised that that's what made you uncomfortable.
The fact that there was some nudity and, I mean, it's about the Holocaust, the killing of six million people, but that didn't bother you.
I'm not sure that they don't use the naked part as a kind of a canard to throw you off from the fact that they don't like history that makes white people look bad.
Well, this is white people doing it to white people.
Y'all go fight amongst yourselves.
The Holocaust isn't about race.
No, it's not about race.
But it's not about race.
Well, they consider Jews a different race.
But it's not about race.
It's not about race.
What is it about?
Because it's about man's inhumanity to man.
So first of all, though, let me just jump in here.
They're mice.
It's not about naked people at all.
No.
She didn't read it.
Well, I don't know if you heard the rest of it.
She didn't know what was going on.
I mean, this is what happens when you just put five hot flashes at a table in morning TV.
So let me get this clear, and I'll get to it, I don't disagree with her, I wouldn't have disagreed with her point entirely, I'm giving her some grace here, if she would have explained it properly, which she didn't, but more importantly, so Whoopi Goldberg, hold on a second, the Holocaust, you know, all about the Aryan, you know, supremacy, that's where we get white supremacy effectively from when we're discussing it today, so that's not about race, but Whoopi, all of these other things, we have a montage coming up, were?
I hate to ask this question, but you have aligned yourself with a man who has bashed women, made countless racist remarks, and... Show them.
You're Ben Carson.
Why would you, why would you align yourself with that?
Like I'm going to explain to Bill Barr now, who says there is no systemic racism.
Eric Gardner, George Floyd, couldn't breathe.
Breonna Taylor, police didn't knock.
Philando Castile, he told them, I have a gun.
Tamir Rice was 12.
Now, if you can't look at that and say, hey, we have an issue and we got to sit down and talk about it.
And the problem I have is the only way to become a good Republican is to become a Democrat, according to the media.
And I just, I don't know what to do anymore because I can't keep coming on TV every day saying that we're all Nazis and, you know, Hitler salutes and whatever.
It's just not intellectually honest.
Well, I have to say, let me just say something for poops and giggles.
The Republicans have brought this on themselves.
They've brought this view of them on themselves.
You shouldn't talk about, you know, racism.
Well, you should, because we've seen it for four years directed at various people.
So here's the thing.
Let me make sure that I understand this.
Donald Trump, Republicans, Ben Carson.
These are all, I just want to make sure that I understand, someone who votes Republican, someone who votes for Donald Trump, someone who is in the cabinet of Donald Trump, who happens to be a black man, these are all examples of racism.
These are examples of problems that are all predicated on race, but the actual movement That took place in Germany which resulted in the, in their mind, necessary eradication of an entire race of people predicated on the idea of one and only one superior Aryan race is not... Oh, I see, I understand now.
You don't know what racism is.
That would be the point, right?
And she doubled down on it.
I love it.
She never even bothered to look at, okay, well, maybe I don't think it's about race, but Jewish people, you know, typically Middle Eastern descent can be part of that mix, okay?
So that's not necessarily white.
But also, how did Hitler view it?
Because he only had been quoting that the Jews were a race that needed to be wiped out since 1919.
It wasn't like the 30s was like an epiphany moment for him.
Is he trying to whoopie wash Hitler?
He's like, I have to do this because of the race of the Jews.
I don't think you mean because of their race.
Yes, I do.
Don't speak for me.
Whoopie does not speak for me.
No, I think it's just about human nature.
No, it's racism.
I hate the race.
Stop speaking.
I like how Gerald, the guy who looks like he just jumped out of Hitler's birthday cake, pointed out that Jews aren't white.
That was what he just brought to the table.
A couple of years past Hitler, you know.
Just to be clear, old blonde-haired blue eyes want you to know Jews aren't white.
I get it, people say... I like the Jesus one, but the rest of them...
Well, actually, Jesus was black, if you understand.
But race doesn't matter, doesn't it?
But he was black.
No, you're right, though.
It's only black Jews going to heaven.
It was white-on-white crime.
I don't think there was any bigotry involved with the Holocaust.
No, no, no, no, no.
It was just, you know... You know what she fails to point out is the other... She got on the train first.
Yeah, the other six million people that were killed by Hitler were black gypsies, professors, gays, cripples, like it wasn't... There was a little bit of ableism going on.
A little bit, right?
Limb-different people were, you know...
Even the guy who basically invented the internet to help beat the Nazis was then chemically castrated for being gay.
By Neil Young?
This is gonna hurt.
I don't want a gay grocer.
This is the issue that is really taking place though.
There's a disconnect, there's a growing disconnect, sort of like what we talked about with Trudeau saying this fringe minority and these views are not acceptable.
We talked about that yesterday.
This is the silver lining.
Whoopi Goldberg thought that she, and they tried to save her.
She says, it wasn't about race!
They're like, ahhh.
I mean, if they could back away from that set, you know, but they can't.
They can't put wheels on those chairs.
They're not weight-tested to the... The issue here is they don't know what race... They're so far beyond the actual definition of racism, and they've continued to change the definition of racism, that they... Well, hold on a second.
What could we all agree upon?
When people say find common ground, If we can't all agree on the idea that the Nazis, particularly Hitler, the idea of a supreme Aryan race and eradication of non-Aryans is racist, then we're not going to find common ground.
No, you never will.
And by the way, the American Defamation League, Anti-Defamation League, I did that yesterday too.
Yeah, well that's a problem.
Anti-Defamation League.
We don't pay attention to those pro-defamation people.
Yeah, exactly.
They changed the definition of racism on their website and actually now it's just white supremacy.
It's just white supremacy against people of color.
It used to be classifying a group of people or using prejudice to say something about a group of people, whether they were white, black, Hispanic, Asian, didn't matter.
You were just saying that this group of people is inferior because of this, because of their race.
Well, because they have to change it.
Not anymore.
Just like the CDC had to change the definition of immunization.
Well, you know.
Well, it was that before.
That's what racism was that we agreed upon, but that's not what it is anymore.
Well, you're also talking about the Holocaust happened at a time where it was like Irish, Germans, you know, Italians, Jews, they wouldn't date.
Right.
Stuff like that.
You know, everybody kind of didn't like each other even at this time.
Yeah.
Jews was very, it was very specifically racist.
And also, even on that note, Shame on the School.
Like, that's a book That I've read that I think is extremely important, and it's written by a Holocaust survivor.
Yeah.
And it's, you know, it's not as funny as Schindler's List.
Not as feel-good.
No.
It's clever.
It's this really great book, if you ever want to even teach your kid about the Holocaust, because it's done with mice.
And it's a graphic novel, and it's an excellent book about the Holocaust.
It's heartbreaking.
Of course.
And the fact that you would pull it out.
I just don't buy the fact that you're pulling it out because mice are naked in it.
When are mice clothed?
Well, do you know why they want to pull it out?
It's the same reason they want to pull out To Kill a Mockingbird.
We'll talk about that tomorrow.
Hint, it's not Republicans.
It's because if they keep telling children that everything is racist.
For example, she used to be a racist as an example.
Well, you can say that that's just race, or you can say that it was a kid in a hoodie who looked like he was 25 aiming a replica gun at people in a park, and the cops were concerned, right?
You can say that.
There are examples of police brutality, but it's not entirely predicated on race.
Sometimes you can find that.
The Aryan race, the premise was there is one race, one race to rule them all, and it's the tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyes guy, until Schmeling got his ass kicked by Joe Louis.
They're like, oh boy, these black people are very explosive!
Then they hosted the Olympics and they lost in the races.
It's because they want two races, white and black.
No, it's because... And that doesn't fit their narrative.
That as well, but I think if you have children reading this book about the Holocaust, if you have children reading To Kill a Mockingbird, or they also see real racism and they see someone combating real racism, they'll go, OH!
That's what racism is.
Not the fact that, you know, we don't hit a quota at Brown.
Not the fact that we don't have enough black people at Yale.
Not this idea that the nuclear family, as Black Lives Matter says, is racist.
Oh no, that's silly.
There are actual historical examples of racism, but if you point to those, guess what?
It makes it really hard to sell kids on the idea that America is systemically racist.
So let's get rid of those historical examples so we can rebuild racism in Whoopi's modern image.
Did you see how she tried to kind of pivot and say, they don't have any problem with the Holocaust, the killing of Jews.
And I was like, wait, what?
They pulled it out.
Okay.
Assuming your argument is correct, Dave, that it was mice that were naked.
I haven't read this book.
Yes.
Let's see some naked mice.
That's one of the creepiest phrases I've ever heard.
Well, my goodness.
Well, they said there was foul language, too.
Do we know of any foul language that they've been able to show?
Because if you're showing that to a kid at a certain age and there's bad language in it, you probably either want to scrub that a little bit for them, if it's like a 7-year-old or an 8-year-old, a 9-year-old, I don't know.
Yeah, you don't want to have any swears when you're watching people get gassed.
Well, no, you want to focus on what's important in this.
Yes.
The tragedy of what happened.
You don't have to use bad language, you don't have to use nudity if there were other stuff.
The mice thing is stupid.
But she tries to paint everybody who has a concern about a book as saying, oh, you don't want to teach about the Holocaust.
No!
I want people to understand where it came from, why it happened so we can avoid ever having it again, and you guys are the fascists now.
And I don't entirely—here's the thing, I understand the—I would understand the point she was trying to make if she said, for example, well, look, actually, World War II, when you look at Nazi Germany, how did Hitler come to power?
Because we're never actually allowed to ask this question.
It doesn't mean that you support Hitler or the Nazis.
You say, okay, they were internationally embarrassed, right, with the Treaty of Versailles.
Economically, they were crippled.
Okay, and so then race was used, right?
It was used as a weapon so that they could create a scapegoat with the Jews.
That's how you got to that point.
If she was trying to say, so it's not just about race, but it's actually about a litany of factors that then race became sort of the pinnacle and of course the boiling point.
No, instead she says, it's about human nature!
Some people are bad!
The Holocaust was bad on the way in!
A guy cut in front of me didn't use his turn signal!
It's ridiculous!
It's crazy!
No, it's about othering people, and we've known this throughout history, that any time that you say another group of people is the cause of all of our problems, it's a dangerous thing to do.
Do you see the comparison?
Can I do it with members of the view?
Yeah, but what's going on right now?
You're telling them that a group of people should be separated, a group of people are unclean, a group of people are responsible for all the problems going on in the country, and you have a book that shows how extremely dangerous it can be, and a book that's very touching and real.
Yeah, and kids might even read that and go, wait a second, it starts by othering people?
It starts by creating two classes of citizens?
Something unvaccinated?
I don't know.
Let me go back to the mice.
I mean, here's the thing.
This is important.
This is why they don't want statues.
This is why they don't want certain history taught, because history makes it clear when you understand it contextually.
Do we have slavery in the United States?
We absolutely did.
Did we fight one of the bloodiest wars in history to end slavery?
We still do.
It's called trafficking.
Yeah, it's called trafficking.
Good point.
But now, to her credit, They don't talk about that a whole lot.
Whoopi did issue an apology this morning.
I want to make it clear.
She said, on today's show I said the Holocaust is not about race but about man's inhumanity to man.
I stand corrected.
She sits corrected.
I stand on my walker with the tennis balls corrected.
The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waver.
I was sitting in my shower chair corrected.
My feet hurt.
Life alert!
Hover around!
It's great, child!
Give me an example of you supporting the Jewish people around the world, Whoopi.
I would like to know what that means!
Did you support moving the embassy back to Jerusalem?
That's crazy!
If you give me a frozen Hot Pocket and I put it under my titty, it gonna be warm.
A Whoopi oven!
What will I do for a Klondike?
Anything!
I will literally do anything.
Even whitewash the Holocaust, okay?
You don't know me.
You don't know how far I will go for a Klondike.
You don't know where I've been?
Alright.
I don't know.
You guys let me know.
Do you think that's what it is?
I want to put a fine point on it.
If this is reductive, I think the left just doesn't know what racism is and they don't want your children to know what racism is.
That's what I think it is.
I think it's deeper.
But I think you're right.
I'm not saying you're wrong either.
But I do.
I think it's deeper.
I think it's, at this point, it's become, it's not even conspiratorial.
It's just obvious.
They know what it is and they don't want people to realize?
We had it better!
Yeah, we're ripping down statues of history.
We've been doing this for so long.
We've been dividing the country for so long.
We've been telling people that they're unclean.
And now we're trying to shake it so people, in my opinion, are too racist.
You either want to consider yourself, you're going to either be a majority or a minority.
That's it.
Well, Dave, we were telling you you were unclean because you hadn't showered in a while.
First of all, I showered twice.
It's not a hemorrhoid.
It turns out it's a yeast infection.
Well, yeah, it is a yeast infection.
I've never had a hemorrhoid, though.
What do you do about it?
Well, I think you stop straining so much.
All right, we do have to move on.
We have so much to get to.
We have a rebuttal here.
I don't know if we're going to have time to do all this today.
Boris Johnson, Apollo.
Do we want to do the John Oliver?
Look, if 4,000 people click like before I get through the next two stories, We'll do the John Oliver rebuttal.
I think if we don't do it tomorrow, we'll be rushing.
So smash that like button.
Smash that like button, because we have a pretty thorough rebuttal to John Oliver, and it's always fun, but I don't know if we have time.
Do you have the like button there, Tim Tuleman?
All right.
There we go.
4,000 within the next five minutes.
I can't say that anymore.
All right, we're at 9,000 now.
Okay, Boris Johnson.
All right, so if it gets to 13,000, then we'll continue.
It'll just be a little bit of a long show today.
Boris Johnson had to apologize for what's now being referred to as Partygate, for people who don't know the British Prime Minister.
There was a report published by Susan Gray about how Boris Johnson partied while the country was locked down.
So it's not exclusive to Gavin Newsom.
Now, this happened, people were outraged, and you probably saw, you know, there was video circulating of him apologizing to his credit.
The thing is, what you saw was the whitewashed version of his apology.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it was, again, context matters more than content.
And we here have actually procured, we don't have the video for the, because they shut off the cameras.
We have the full unedited apology of Boris Johnson for Partygate.
And I would like to take this moment to sincerely apologize for the parties that were hosted during lockdowns.
They were unbecoming and unprofessional.
I'm truly sorry.
For all of it.
The gathering, the lack of masks, the champagne, the whole lot.
What about the feather dusters?
Ah, yes, of course, the mishap with the feather duster, the French-made outfits, like I said, all of it.
And the garden hose with the sprinkler head?
And the garden hose with the sprinkler head, like I said, all of it.
I apologize for the parties, the champagne, The feather dusters, the maid outfits, and yes, the garden hose with the sprinklers.
Don't forget the ball gags!
Yes, and the small replicas of Big Ben placed in jelly balloons.
They're not even symmetrical!
And the marmots.
Yes, now, we needn't rehash the specific spot.
I do apologize for the parties, the champagne, the French maid outfits, the feather dusters, the garden hose, yes, the Big Ben replicas, and the jelly balloons, the ball gags, and the marmots.
I didn't even ask for the Big Ben balloon and he used it on me!
You was asking for it with your eyes!
Would you perhaps see eyes wide shut, Matt?
I had to be a pig!
He got the pig mask, I was a rabbit!
And the marmots!
Yes, yes, as I said, I've apologised for the lot of it under the umbrella of the party that did in fact include...
Champagne, the gatherings, the parties, the lights, the feather duster, the French maid mishap, the garden hose with the sprinkler head, the Big Ben because in the jelly balloon, the eyes wide shut masks, and yes, the marmots.
It's like a badger, the marmot.
It hurts if it's in the wrong place.
Well, across the pond, they do things differently.
They do.
Their own culture is silly.
Even Nick Nolte thinks he looks like shit.
What are you doing with your hair, you son of a bitch?
You growth-fragmenter son of a bitch!
I feel bad for him when he speaks.
You stupid Nolte!
I see Boris Johnson on the team.
Oh, hell.
We need to do a PC 48 hours reboot.
You cut out all the movies?
Alright, well you guys... It's eight minutes long.
You guys smashed the like button more than enough of you, so okay, we're gonna do this story.
Jerks!
The Supreme Court, just so you know right now, we'll set it up with this.
The Supreme Court actually, just last week I believe, announced that it is going to hear the cases against the race-based admissions at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.
And this is something where a lot of people are upset about how Asian Americans are being treated at universities.
So Harvard uses subjective measures like likeability, kindness, to keep out Asian students.
So they're using sort of subjective measures to say, well, these are actually more important than, say, your scores on the standardized tests because Asian Americans actually need to score also 250 points higher on the SATs.
I didn't even see that. Than blacks and Latinos on average to be admitted into these schools.
Yeah. So why is this overtly racist? And I do mean racist practice allowed to continue.
It still can. Why does it still exist today? It's still with the lisp.
That's what's happening right here. But before I move on, what is with the weird faces on CNN?
It's the weird face patrol.
I think it's the spacing of the eyes.
I think they want you to be slightly off.
Her one eye, I think she's just a little drunk.
Her one eye drifts.
Like she's Pinterest mom drunk.
Yes, yeah.
Just like a little bit of, yeah.
I ate fruit for dinner!
It's one of those jumbo wine glasses.
Listen, that's my audience, Stephen.
Wine o'clock somewhere.
Be careful.
Those are the people that buy.
Right.
By the way, speaking of which, you can follow us on TikTok for people who still care about that Chi Com service, but they've banned us three times.
I guess we're still on right now.
Billions of people, too.
And we'll be taking your chat here.
We're on TikTok.
Yeah, I guess.
We have to be.
I'm just gonna let you know, you know, I do the social, like, I do a lot of my, I don't do all of it, but Twitter, Instagram stuff, TikTok, I have nothing to do with, so whatever that, it wasn't me.
Kids, remember Mumbo No.
5?
Huh?
For more of that, go to my buddy Kimmel.
Dogs out, woof woof, huh?
That was a good song to have written, boy.
Let me teach you how to Dougie!
Remember your friend putting that CD in and you punching him in the face?
Watch, tomorrow Stephen Colbert's gonna plank.
I can't wait.
Next week he's eating Tide Pods.
So here's something, I want to set this up here because... Fingers crossed.
The left two, they want to whitewash racism, like we just saw with the Holocaust.
What's that name that Hajj, what's the name of the guy who does that Patriot Act on Netflix?
Jeffrey Ross?
No.
No, Minaj something.
Oh, Minaj Atoi.
Yes.
I know you're talking about him.
Good one.
It was… Ahsan Minaj?
Ahsan Minaj.
Is that his name?
Yeah, he's a comic.
He toured.
Yeah.
Ahsan Minaj, yeah.
Yes, yes.
Comic.
He does that show there where he talked about the model minority myth.
I know he did a show on that.
I think we did that a long time ago.
But here's the thing.
They want to erase racism where it actually existed and wants to continually oppress people
today depending on which group it is.
They want you to think, I should say.
Here's actually, it's a beautiful, it's a beautiful trick.
If you think that you're oppressed in a way that is not true, it allows the person perpetuating that lie to actually oppress you.
Just like Hitler lied, right?
Hitler lied.
He predicated it on race.
He made lies about people's specific ethnicity, specific race.
And that, of course, allowed him to oppress people, not just the Jews.
Allowed him to oppress everybody.
Allowed him to take control over everybody.
And we're seeing that take place right now with Asian Americans and the Democrat Party.
So you see this with the admissions into university, this Supreme Court case.
I'm interested to hear how it goes.
Let me just set this up to be clear.
And at the end of this, I'm going to offer some solutions, unlike John Oliver.
We did this segment a while ago, but then it just came back because of the Supreme Court case.
I think everybody here agrees you should get into university based on your grades, your qualifications, period.
We don't need to change our point of view regardless of who's applying.
Black.
White.
Green.
I was about to say yellow, but then, you know, the Jesus Loves Me song is racist.
It really is.
I think if you want to have crippling debt for a pointless education that'll get you nowhere, you have at it.
Welcome to Harvard.
It's the new American dream.
Good for you.
And if you want to work hard and avoid going to university to get a gender studies degree and maybe perhaps ply yourself at a trade school, you can be assured that you'll be paying for their useless degree.
Well, thanks.
That's what student loan forgiveness is!
Well, no, it's you.
You made the money.
You spent the money.
You, who made the money, you need to give them the money to spend.
You can't just make money and then spend money and then what do you think?
You're just going to continue making?
It's ridiculous!
No!
Give him the money.
You make enough money.
Come on.
It's forgiveness.
It's loan forgiveness.
But when you're 18 you make stupid choices.
Right.
Yeah.
So we should make all the 45 year olds pay for the 18 year olds.
No, no, no.
Even though when I was 18 I knew I wanted to do this and I'm still doing it even though I drank and drove into a tree.
Yeah, you don't make stupid choices.
You have a dealer telling you that college is going to solve all your problems.
And oh, you'll pay it off eventually and we'll probably forgive it.
So give it a whirl.
Okay.
You played foosball.
So this is the model minority myth.
John Oliver tries to take this on and then tries to—there are so many fallacies here that I'm going to have to address them one by one.
So he tried to argue against this perception of Asians as the model minority.
And of course they predicate this on the idea that, look, when you see white Americans saying, hey, they're not racist, for example, look at how successful Asians are and they have no problem with it.
What that really is, is racism.
What it really is, is they're using a model minority to be racist towards, so actually they're racist towards you.
So if you keep telling people that white folks are racist towards them, maybe they'll believe you, especially if you get rid of actual examples of racism, like, I don't know, the Holocaust.
So he actually tried to dispel this idea of the model minority Myth, as he calls it, by using noted Asian, uh, uh, uh, uh, well, just Kamala Harris.
Asian Americans can sometimes be oddly overlooked.
A recent survey asked respondents to simply name a well-known Asian American, and the results were not good.
42% of people said that they don't know one.
The next most popular answers were Jackie Chan, who's from Hong Kong, and Bruce Lee, who died in 1973.
Oh, come on.
No disrespect to Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee there, but that is embarrassing even before you consider the poll was conducted while Kamala Harris, who's Asian-American, was vice president.
How do you fuck up a question that easy?
Now, first off, this is a perfect example of trying to instill white guilt to begin with.
Because most people are going, I guess I am racist.
But you know what?
Hold on a second, John Oliver.
Maybe people didn't think of Kamala Harris as Asian-American because of Kamala Harris.
Growing up my sister and I had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents couldn't play with us because she
because we were black
Good vibes like yoga Oh, thank you.
Always.
Look at all those Asian Americans.
Okay, do you have a favorite band or favorite musician?
I I'd say one of my favorites is Bob Marley.
Oh.
Good choice.
You can't go wrong with that.
That's a crowd pleaser.
Hard-hitting questions.
On your mixtape, what would be like your favorite three songs?
Oh, okay, let's see.
Aretha Franklin, anything Aretha Franklin.
I would say Bob Marley and then, I don't know, I love Cardi B. Yeah, those aren't songs, stupid.
She's also the one that said she was back in 1978 listening to Tupac.
Yeah, well, you know.
And smoking.
Well, maybe she is Asian.
She used her mask skills to make a time machine.
She couldn't think of the song Respect?
Bob Marley?
Just pick any.
Oh, and then she's just like in her head is like, just name black people.
Just name black people.
Aretha!
Coldplay?
Shoot, I'm running low.
Bruno Mars is something, right?
You couldn't think of Buffalo Soldier?
Red Hot Chili Peppers, that's it.
She's such a big fan, Dave.
There's just so much to choose from.
Oh, Bob Marley, that's my favorite.
I saw that on a shirt in the lobby.
One love.
Or two.
Ganja.
Red Stripe.
What?
You're racist.
So, look, here's John Oliver.
I just said it because he's trying to set it up.
Who did he ask, though, honestly, for this interview?
Where you don't know an Asian-American and you only know Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee?
They just knock on doors at a Motel 6 and it was fucking a drunk guy who's throwing beer cans at the television?
Right, yeah.
Do you have any Asian friends?
No.
Okay.
Name an Asian.
I don't know, Bruce Lee.
What, did you think about Kamala Harris?
She's what?
Heh.
All right, fine.
Don't bother me.
General so, I don't know.
Then she knocks on the wrong door of the wrong trucker.
I like a good Asian.
It washes my room clean.
Oh!
It's you, Joy Ride!
I didn't know.
I should have gone to the next room, Joy Ride.
All right, so this is the point that John Oliver tries to make, like, look at you.
How did you not know that she was Asian American?
Namely because she doesn't mention it unless it's politically convenient.
I'm sure she'll probably mention it with Chinese New Year, but then it'll be erased by her talking about Black History Month because she's going to place more emphasis on that.
So, this is an argument that John Oliver makes to try and make sure that, you know, you're racist.
Of course, a lot of Americans who are not racist but who recognize that there are disparities between races in certain results.
So, for example, academically, Asians tend to excel.
Athletically, black Americans tend to excel, right?
Recognizing those differences and maybe attributing some of them, for example, with Asians in admissions to culture A central premise of the model minority myth is that the key to overcoming American racism is simply strong values and hard work.
With the implication being that groups that haven't succeeded simply haven't tried hard enough.
As immigration law began selecting for skilled and educated Asian immigrants, the credentials of those new arrivals seemed to conform to the stereotype, which then took on a life of its own, especially in the civil rights era, as whites, unnerved by black Americans' radical challenges to the system, held up Japanese and Chinese Americans and their success as evidence that they claimed disproved systemic racism.
Very basically, America prioritized wealthy, more educated Asian immigrants, then turned to black people who'd been subjugated for centuries and said, see, they're educated and successful, why aren't you?
Okay, first off, if you say it with a lilt, you somehow act like it's an insane question.
That's a perfectly reasonable question, actually.
Let's be clear about that.
Also, it actually sort of flies in the face of what he says later on in discussing Asian discrimination, which occurred actually pretty recently if you look at World War II.
Anyway, here's the thing.
Why was the United States Why was the United States able to find these highly skilled immigrants from Asia in the first place?
Okay.
If we look at history, it shows us that culture is directly responsible for a lot of this.
Let me give you a couple of examples, and it has nothing to do with melanin, Nick Cannon.
A two-parent family, right?
We've talked about this.
Two-parent households, mom and dad.
It's crucial.
Crucial.
It's actually, if we're going to talk about the single biggest determining factor in your future success, having a mom and having a dad and having them active in your life, it's not even close.
When people talk about repairing the education system, when people talk about fixing our welfare, social safety net, nothing.
If you did all of those things, if you spent our entire GDP on those things, on these Democrat policies, since Lyndon Johnson up until now, on all of these ideas that the left have pushed as some kind of a solution to the racial disparities in the United States, it would not have A discernible difference on outcome when compared to having two parents in the household.
We're talking about, so look, according to the United States, let me get some stats, Department of Justice, children from single-parent homes make up 71% of high school dropouts, 75% of kids in drug treatment programs, 70% of state incarcerated juveniles.
If you are actually from a two-parent household, you have a mom and you have a dad active in your life, and this can include step-parents as well, just to be clear, You are more likely to graduate school.
You are less likely to be a criminal.
You are more likely to be well-adjusted mentally.
You are more likely to have a long-term relationship that's healthy.
It's the single greatest indicator that we have of future success for children.
So, culturally, this matters because Asian Americans, 85% of Asian American children grow up in two-parent households.
Black Americans?
36%.
Now, let me be clear about something.
All references are available at ladderwithcredit.com.
When you say, oh, hold on a second, that's just rape.
No, no, look, look.
We are talking about culture.
Two-parent household.
Because guess what?
A black child with a two-parent household is still better off.
All of the future indicators for that child, a black child with two parents, is going to be better than a white or Asian child in a single-parent household.
Just to be clear.
That's the beauty of it.
It's just that there are so few black households in America where both mom and dad are active
and taking a role in the life.
It's very common.
It's actually higher in Asian households than any other minority group in the United States.
Right.
And so the cultural part of this, like this didn't, this wasn't always the case where
African-Americans had higher proportion of single parent families than everybody else,
but they bought the lie that's been sold to them and the black community did not stand
And I understand some people tried to, but they didn't stand up enough in force and say, look, this is going to hurt us for generations.
This, like you said, is the single greatest indicator.
We have study after study after study.
It's not white men trying to control you.
It's not white men trying to make sure that you do things the right way.
It's saying, this will be beneficial to you.
And everything that we see from BLM and the left is attacking the nuclear family.
BLM, it's on their charters.
Why?
No nuclear family.
And by the way, just so you know, baby mama is actually, we use that term, right?
Now people say baby mama.
It's actually one of the few sort of cultural, I don't know, would you say idiom there?
Would you say just cultural colloquialisms?
That stems from policy.
It stems from policy going back to Lyndon Johnson.
It stems from the model cities.
It stems from financially incentivizing single parent households with welfare.
That's the thing.
Baby mama is actually the result of legislative policy.
And it's a horrible thing to do to a child.
I'm not saying that some people aren't widows.
Some people aren't... Is it widowers as a guy?
I don't know.
Widower.
Widower, yeah.
Widow.
Is it widower?
Widowee?
I don't know the plural.
The point is, let's not get too lost in the weeds.
Then we become John Oliver or Whoopi Goldberg and saying that the Holocaust isn't racist.
Well, when you have a tiger mom who breaks your pinky when you hit the wrong piano key and jams the key in your neck.
You ever learn to play Mary Little Had a Little Lamb with your thumb?
Not easy.
So, uh, let me also go through education.
Go ahead.
No, please, it's your show.
What were you about to say?
Nothing.
All right.
Education.
So we're talking about dual parent households.
Education.
These are cultural examples.
Do you believe that for some reason Asians, because of the color of their skin, stay together at a rate of 85% versus 36%?
You want to say that that's because of race.
Okay, you're the racist.
Let's go on to education.
Asian students spend four times as much time studying as black Americans. They score an average of
eight points higher on the ACT.
Asian students have 13% higher high school graduation rates than black Americans.
Do you want to say that's just because of their race?
Now here's the thing. Let's... spoiler alert. No. Okay.
The reason that you see these numbers across the board, again, is because culturally this is very important and it's emphasized across Asian cultures.
So this is also why it was possible for America to import highly skilled People from Asia, as opposed to Africans in the 50s and 60s.
And by the way, I think that when we are bringing immigrants into this country, I know the left will say this is racist, but not the Holocaust, I think that we should be bringing in people who are skilled.
I think we should be bringing in people, regardless of their race or where they're from, who actually improve the economic outlook for the country.
I don't think you should be bringing in the lowest, the non-skilled labor to take jobs
away from lower income Americans.
It doesn't make any sense and that's not been the policy of any successful country as it
relates to immigration.
Okay.
Now, let's look across the world.
It's not just in the United States.
Thirty percent higher global school enrollment rates in East Asia versus Sub-Saharan Africa.
This is something that you see over there and you see it modeled here as well in the
United States.
Asian Americans value hard work and family, seven to 20 percent more than the general
population, not just black Americans.
Of course, that might have some kind of an impact on their success later in life.
You may say it's just because of their race.
Right, John Oliver?
It's all race-based.
Chin-cha, chin-cha, I know what you're saying.
I just think you're racist, yeah.
When a culture starts to value things, and it can be a group of people, it can be a country, whatever it is, then people tend to go towards that.
Asians, they value hard work and sticking to a problem.
They've done studies on this as well with white kids.
And strong family units.
Yep, we tend to give up on math problems that are difficult after a shorter period of time.
Math is racist.
They'll sit there and they'll work on those, because culturally they have been taught that there's benefit to doing that in the African American community.
Athletics.
Do you think that black people are just more athletically gifted en masse than everybody else?
Yes.
I don't know.
I'm not saying that that's true, but it is prized.
It's true.
It is prized.
It's a way out.
So many people have said it is a way out of what I grew up in, and so they put time and effort and energy into those things that they value.
That's a good point, but they're also faster and they can jump higher.
Well, I don't know that that's true.
It's true.
I don't think it's true.
Okay, I don't know if it's true.
Just check every human land speed record.
You're not gonna find a white name.
It was a Jamaican guy.
Yeah.
His name is Bolt.
He's gotta be fast.
His name is Bolt.
They kind of were stacking the deck on that one.
But of course they grow up to be like doctors and surgeons.
They eat with sticks.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, come on, you have an idea of the dexterity?
You're talking about Asian people?
Come on!
Not to mention, cultivating rice, much more difficult than corn.
That's actually, there's a whole historical context.
It's a whole thing.
You gotta wear a hat.
Well, Malcolm Gladwell did some studies into this, and it was very interesting what he came to.
And he's like, look, this is just a cultural thing that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Don't say it's racism, though, to acknowledge it and go, oh, hey, guess what?
Well, this is where they try and cut it off at the pass and say, Now you might say that it's cultural, but that's racist!
No, no it's not.
The second you say that, that means you're trying to dispel the idea of it being culturally related, which is accurate, so that you can spew more of your special brand of racism.
And I do mean racism from John Oliver, just like we saw from Whoopi Goldberg.
I don't think they have hate in their heart for Asian Americans, just to be clear.
I don't think they're Nazis.
Although Whoopi, I just don't know why, I just don't know why she feels the Nazis need a leg up.
But we'll go back to that tomorrow.
It's just odd to me that she would feel the need to defend She's like an apologist.
I don't know, maybe she's mad at Billy Crystal about something.
It could be.
Howard Stern.
So when they do this, I do think that it's actually racist by what used to be the definition of racism.
So this is something also that John Oliver does, and then he bitches about dividing people by racial groups.
He says that we should not consider Asian Americans successful because there are certain subgroups of Asian Americans who are struggling, which is not wrong, but Okay, just watch.
One of the main dangers of treating Asian Americans as a single entity is that it obscures the reality of what is happening for the different subgroups inside it.
For example, about 10% of Asian Americans live in poverty, which is actually lower than the overall U.S.
poverty rate.
Yes.
But when you disaggregate the data, when you break it down by subgroup, you start to see a much more complicated situation with Mongolian and Burmese Americans... No, it's not.
...having a poverty rate of 25 percent, more than twice the national average.
And when it comes to education, while around 75 percent of Indian Americans have a bachelor's degree well above the national average, for Bhutanese Americans, that figure is just 15 percent, which is well below it.
The point is, disaggregating the data can reveal big disparities that you
couldn't see previously.
Oh, you mean see people as individuals? Oh, in this case, you're still seeing them as a group,
just a subgroup of Asians. Let me be really clear before I get to the actual percentages to rebut it.
This is where they are misguided. Do you know why there are certain groups? And this is not
just with Asians, this is with immigrants of all the more recently someone immigrated to the United
States, when you're looking at the family, the more likely they are to live in poverty.
That's important to note. It means they haven't set their roots in the country here that allows
prosperity.
Mongolians, less than 1%.
And they're so annoying the Chinese had to build a wall.
The Burmese, 1%.
Asian Americans are. What? Chinese 24%, Indian 21%, Filipino 19%, Vietnamese 10%,
Korean 9%, Japanese 7%. Let's compare it to John Oliver's examples. Mongolians
less than 1%. And they're annoying. They're so annoying the Chinese had to
build a wall. The Burmese 1%, the Bhutanese less than 1%.
Okay, if you look at the population for Mongolian, Burmese, Bhutanese
Americans, most of that boom Yeah.
Okay?
They're not behind because they're Mongolian.
We love their barbecue!
It's got the thing and they do it and it's fun!
I put on an egg!
The key is to put the meat in... Meat first, you're right.
The key is, yeah.
Meat first.
It's not fun.
I gotta walk in a line and fill up my bowl and watch you cook it on a thing?
I wanna sit and order!
That's true.
The food is good.
It's absurd.
It's a little bit of a self-checkout of Asian cuisine, but the food is tasty.
Can we agree on that?
We can agree on that.
You made a really good point.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying it's a lot of work for a restaurant.
No, I know.
Yeah, I get it.
We need to automate.
So what he said was true.
What did you say?
With track marks making your food?
I hate everyone.
Go ahead.
So the time that you've been in this country, it's going to determine how much you have progressed as a group of people, like he said.
But he's breaking down Asian and saying, well, these people are doing better.
These people are doing better.
The other factor is, oh, good.
So you think that maybe culturally we should look at and see, well, what is this culture prize?
Do these cultures tend to prize this the same way that maybe this other Indian culture does?
Or do Japanese cultures prize this like Mongolian cultures?
We can actually look and see, John.
You're making a great point that maybe cultures are a little different.
And I'm not saying inferior or better.
I'm saying that they prize things.
They hold things to a higher esteem that maybe are more valuable.
And that's something to look at to solve the problem.
One thing you see across the board, for example, if we look at the poverty rates of natural-born
Chinese-American citizens versus foreign-born Chinese-Americans, they're 15 percent of them
are in poverty.
United States born, 9 percent.
And you see this across a lot of populations.
You see this with Haitian-Americans who are born in the United States, who have had families,
who've had roots.
You see the same thing with Latino-Americans.
The determining factor, and isn't that a beautiful thing?
But again, let's not talk about that because then that lets people know that America's
a better country.
You've heard me talk about this many times when people point to the Nordic model.
Swedish-Americans, it's true, the average Swede has a higher what they call a quality of living.
There's a sort of an index that's created, right?
A higher quality or standard of life than the average American.
But Swedish-Americans have a higher quality of life than Swedes in Sweden.
Same thing for Danish-Americans.
Yeah.
Well, when everything's given to you kind of for free, I mean, hey, do you like free stuff?
Well, yeah.
Yeah, but then you sell us Particle Board and make us put it together.
Why would we like you?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Kind of coast a little bit where these people come from other countries where they've seen horrible surroundings Yeah, and work their asses off to better themselves.
So they might do a little bit better because they try a little hard They've seen is that possible?
I mean it could be a possible.
I'm just saying I'm not saying that's every case But it's very possible.
Also Zach Morris did very well on his SATs Oh, well.
Not like that NC Slater, but he sits on that chair backwards and my goodness does he look cool.
Now, the earliest Asian American immigrants, like those from China, this is something also where John Oliver just, again, remember what he said before.
Rewind this if you need to, because he was talking about how white Americans point to them because they haven't... Anyway, so the point is now he goes on to say, and I agree, they've been discriminated against actually throughout this country up until pretty recently, too.
Asian immigration in that time was essentially a cycle of economic exploitation, followed by a violent and restrictive backlash.
This began with Chinese immigrants who were recruited to work on the railroads in the 1860s.
They faced virulent racism from the beginning, both from their bosses, who saw their lives as disposable, and from whites, many of whom saw them as unfair competition for jobs.
So here's the thing.
I completely agree.
No one's saying that America has a spotless path.
I think it's important to recognize that it's not only black Americans who face discrimination here.
Of course, Asian Americans have.
You have people who aren't talking about their great-great-great-great-grandfather was a slave.
You have people who they've seen their grandfather who was put in an internment camp.
That is significant.
Also significant, no racial group has faced systemic discrimination since the Civil Rights Act.
Asian, black, or otherwise.
So, we now have enough of a data set.
Now, let's go on to his next point because the show is going a little bit long.
He talks about how living up to the model minority stereotype inflicts psychological damage on Asian Americans.
Here he goes.
Whether or not you're successful, living a life defined by a racist fantasy just isn't good for you.
Striving to maintain the idea of a model minority has really severed my self-esteem.
It really makes me feel that I'm nothing more than someone who could get good grades, someone who was supposed to be perfect and be mom about everything.
Right.
By trying to be perfect, your whole life is going to be too much to bear.
That kind of pressure can do real damage.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for Asian Americans between the ages of 15 and 24.
I can't take the bullshit!
Did you see this light of hand that just took place there?
Again, this is the problem with presenting facts, first off, without any context.
Again, references available at loudearthcreditor.com.
This segment has to be long because I think it requires context.
I'm not trying to tell you, it's too complicated for me to explain!
That's not what I'm saying!
I want you to read up more on this, so check the references.
Suicide is the leading cause of adolescent death, he says, you know, in the United States for Asian Americans.
And he, of course, ties that to this idea that the model Minority, racist, three from the United States.
Basically, all of us white guys, and Asian men here, to wonder you're still alive, you made it through your teen years, and you were listening to emo!
Combine Asian with My Chemical Romance, those wrists are spotless!
And most of them do it with a sword if they get an A-.
Well, they have a sword at the ready.
We had a wooden spoon or a switch.
Oh, did you get a B?
Don't make me get a sword draw.
I'm going to sword draw.
Which one will I choose?
You bring a much shame to the family.
It's a worldwide issue.
It's not American Asians who commit suicide.
So the leading cause of adolescent death is suicide in Korea, in Japan, in China, in Singapore.
So again, what you see is a hybridizing.
What you see is people bring a portion of their culture here to the United States, and they bring, by the way, both the good and the bad.
They bring an industriousness, they bring a value for the nuclear family, for family households, and they also bring societal pressure that leads to Abnormally high suicide rates.
It's the leading cause of adolescent death in those countries.
And if you look at the top countries as far as suicide rates, you always have Japan, Korea.
They're always somewhere near the top, certainly as far as it relates to the industrialized world.
Now, this pressure may come from the fact that there's a big honor culture.
In Asia, right?
A lot of pressure to do well.
Your family name means something.
Ah, I think you get the point.
Family.
Where does this pressure come from?
Is it random people off the street saying you're Asian so you have to be smart?
No, it's coming from the family.
So John Oliver, if the problem is the family, your whole argument goes away.
Yeah, he wants you to believe that Andrew Yang makes a math joke and then all of a sudden people are plummeting from rooftops.
So, I actually even saw... I don't know if you saw this, there was a documentary Recently, a series of archaeological digs in Fenghuang, China have unearthed ancient evidence suggesting just how important otter was in these Confucian-based societies.
Please bring otter to us!
Please!
Please!
Ancient evidence suggesting just how important honor was in these Confucian based societies.
Asians!
Now, I never realized what a cultural appropriator David Carradine was.
Yeah.
No, I didn't know he was still alive.
No, that was his, no, he's not, well, him hanging himself, the auto-erotic, that was the Asian equivalent of Taco Tuesday.
Oh, that's what I thought, okay.
That last girl was not fully committed, by the way, she just- Oh, she killed herself.
Oh, okay.
Moments later, with the umbrella.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it took a couple of saws.
Yeah, but when she opened it up, I mean, it really- Trick.
You gotta put your tiny wrists into it.
Yeah, you really do, and you're binded.
And here's another clip, and this brings us to the final point where what they want to do, when you see this with the left, when you see this with John Oliver.
Okay, and I'm making a generalization, but let me ask you this.
Have you ever seen John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, have you ever seen them do a segment, and I really do, I want you to comment, because correct me if I'm wrong, where they've said to any minority group, as we do regularly on the show, hey, you know what?
Some people have had some unfair breaks, and we get it, but the good news is you can do it, and the good news is you're actually not oppressed, and it doesn't have to continue that way.
You live in the freest country in the world with the most upward mobility, and you know what?
I believe in you.
I don't think it's a racial issue.
Have you ever seen them say that, or have you always seen them make generalizations based on race while then bitching about people who make generalizations based on race?
So, this is how he ends up closing his segment, his lesson for you, and we're going to have some actual solutions here.
I think some pragmatic solutions do matter, and they're pretty easy.
Simple stuff.
Like John Oliver erect a statue in my honor.
Simple things.
Asian Americans continue to be oppressed, Mr. Oliver says.
But there is no nice racism.
There is no silver lining to it, and there is no working your way out of it.
You are still perpetually treated as a foreigner, still asked where you're really from, and Asian Americans always seem to be just one geopolitical crisis away from becoming the targets of violence yet again.
So the model minority myth is both a tool of white supremacy and a trap.
Okay, so a couple of things here.
Violence against Asians, okay?
Where does that stem from?
Over 85% of all physical assault crimes in the Bay Area, right?
Liberal bastion of freedom, it's paradise, take place at the hands of black Americans against Asian Americans.
Could it be the soft on crime laws?
When he talks about all these other issues as far as you can't get out of it, you're one crisis away.
Well, hold on a second here.
A lot of Asian Americans, statistically, they are out of it.
And me saying that is why you created this segment.
You've accused people who say that, that they're out of it, of being racist and using the model minority.
You see the problem here?
There's no way out of it.
You're going to have white people saying, look, Asians are doing well and cheering you on.
Okay.
Well, it seems to me like that's a way out of it.
But if we point out that there's a way out of it, you accuse us of being racist.
This is the thing.
They need racism to be a modern boogeyman.
And then they don't care about the collateral damage.
They don't care about the collateral damage of anti-Asian hate crimes that take place.
They want to blame it on Donald Trump.
They don't care about the collateral damage while they're discussing here.
Later, he does a segment on affirmative action.
Well let's discuss that.
Where's the collateral damage of affirmative action?
The Supreme Court's going to be hearing a case on Harvard and the University of North Carolina?
North Carolina.
I think.
There's a Harvard applicant actually, this is a famous story if you haven't read up on it, Harrison Shen, who scored nearly a perfect SAT, graduated top of his class, and he wrote, they just lumped me into the Asian category and the data quite clearly shows that admission officers were not willing to look at us as individuals.
Do you have any idea how many bamboo chips that kid had shoved up his thumbs by his mom to get a perfect SAT score?
Well, look, not getting into Harvard's probably a silver lining to this thing.
It's probably a good thing.
You dodged a bullet.
Hang out with the likes of Barack Obama and Ted Cruz.
Dag me with a chopstick!
A-hole.
You are not Harvard material like Colin Jost.
Now, hold on a second, though.
Where have we heard about, you know, this applicant, Harrison Chen, where have we heard about lumping all Asians together before?
I feel like earlier.
One of the main dangers of treating Asian Americans as a single entity is that it obscures the reality of what is happening for the different subgroups inside it.
One of the dangers of treating Asian Americans as a singular minority in also telling you that there's no way out, Asian Americans, for crying out loud, this is what happens.
Do you really believe that it's the right who's the party of divide and conquer?
I mean, it's kind of like this, usually in a relationship, in a romantic relationship, okay?
You end up, someone is either explosive, someone is either, you know, gets mad, or someone is incredibly manipulative.
Someone who gets mad is not really all that clever.
They can't control their emotions, so they're not capable of being manipulative.
Yeah.
This is the issue here.
When they say Republicans, Conservatives, look they were the party of slavery, they were the party of the KKK, all of which is incorrect, well then they wouldn't really be able to tactfully find new ways of racism like not admitting Asians into Harvard and Brown.
That's you guys!
You're manipulative!
Well, they're racist towards the right groups, though, right?
They're racist towards white people.
They're racist towards Asians.
They're saying that black people, in this specific case, he's targeting black people and saying that they need to be able to have a leg up.
They need affirmative action to be able to get into these universities, even though they don't match on the scores, potentially, right?
Not all the time.
And that's okay and that's acceptable.
But if you just say, look, I want to get rid of male, female, and race on any of these applications, they would say, no, no, no, no, no, that's racist because you'll just end up with a bunch of Asian people and maybe some white guys in there as well.
That's his entire argument.
That sounds about right.
Oh, but John Oliver, he's like a Reese's.
There's no wrong way to be racist.
But why not?
If you really want to base this on individuality, then yes, you would look at them and go, you're perfect for Harvard.
Exactly.
The same as you would look at a dynamite athlete who may not have the best grades that would be perfect for your basketball team or your football team.
Right.
Well, if I were the Harvard admissions, I would say, you know, I'd have a little fun with it.
I'd say, you're perfect for Harvard!
I'm kidding.
You'll have orientation!
Orientation!
I'm just joking, have fun.
Get it?
Yeah, maybe you could be like, you could, I don't know, you're right for Penn State.
You look like you could be molested in a shower.
Right, exactly.
I don't think they have that.
I don't think you're right for Brown!
You should apply to Yellow!
I'm kidding, welcome aboard.
You know, that's what I would do.
Gotta have a sense of humor about these things.
Because I'm colorblind.
You know who wrote really well about this, obviously?
Everything that he writes is fantastic.
Hitler?
Thomas Sowell.
Oh, it was Whoopi Goldberg.
Who wrote well about the Asians was Hitler.
It wasn't about racism.
I've had enough of your poops and giggles.
Right.
No, it's Thomas Sowell, who we had on the show.
This guy is one of the most brilliant thinkers out there.
Happens to be a black man, by the way, and he is against having affirmative action get
people into schools that they can't necessarily meet the standards for.
That will actually be a negative thing for them because if they go to a school that they
can perform at, it's like look at lottery winners.
What typically happens?
You're like, somebody who didn't earn the money, they get the money.
Hey, you have money now!
They tend to blow it all and be in poverty and lose it all.
He's saying the same thing.
I wanted a monster truck.
If they can't meet the academic standards, they'll get there and they will possibly fail and it will be crushing to them.
Whereas instead, they can go to a fantastic university that has great credentials and do exceedingly well.
Well, Thomas Sowell, or as if you guys watched our Wikipedia expose, as Wikipedia refers to him, not a reliable source.
We can't take Sowell!
Do you have any more of that Krugman?
Gimme gimme gimme!
I need Krugman!
I need Krugman!
Let's say this, you're from a horrible neighborhood, but you do attend school regularly.
That's right.
Yeah, for example.
All of it's right.
But you are from a horrible neighborhood, you do pretty good in school, you do have decent grades, your SATs aren't necessarily insanely high, but they are very good.
Do you think there should be some sort of... No.
None whatsoever?
No.
No, because you know why?
When you don't, you end up with Ben Carson, the first doctor to separate conjoined twins And then he's accused of being racist.
The guy was from Detroit, single mom, tried to stab her, it was only stopped by her belt buckle.
I didn't know that she wore a Kevlar belt buckle.
So he tried to stab his mom, and then just off the charts, brilliant, and made it.
And the thing is too, you have a lot of white people from crappy areas.
But I mean, was he an example of somebody who always was at the top of his game?
No, that's the thing.
He turned his life around.
He turned his life around.
He was in a very, very bad area, and he turned his life around.
And people want to say that it's a racist idea to say, look, anyone needs to eventually take responsibility for their own actions and try and do well.
Here's what I would say.
I understand the point that you're making.
That's not a point.
It's a question.
Well, I understand the question, and I think it's based I think it comes from a place of empathy.
I think we're looking at the wrong place to start.
So let me offer a couple of quick solutions here, okay?
Before we talk about should there be some leniency, all right, that's like looking at a car.
Your car won't work, and rather than looking at the engine or the transmission, you're looking at the rear hubcap bolt, you know?
We just talked about earlier, do you guys remember?
Do you guys remember what it is?
The single greatest indicator that we have for economic success, for relationship success, for mental health?
Two parent households.
Okay.
So what do we need to do?
Let me give you a couple of easy solutions.
People say, well, what can we do about this?
This issue is so complicated of race and do we have more leniency from people who are in crappy neighborhoods?
Do we spend more money?
Well, hold on a second.
You're going to throw more money at it?
Because for people spending is higher in Detroit than on average.
For people spending is very high in DC, the worst schools in the country, then on average.
More money doesn't help it.
Okay, are we going to say that, like you talked about, we're going to say that being more lenient on admissions is going to help?
Well, no, because then we see the highest dropout rates for black Americans who get through affirmative action, you know, basically they're used to meet certain racial quotas, and then they end up falling behind, and then that ends up having a worse economic outlook.
They end up with a worse economic outlook.
So those things don't work.
Here are some simple solutions when we talk about where we can start, okay?
First off, we've been talking about immigration here in this country.
We've been talking about getting people here.
We're talking about Asian Americans.
First, let's have a national language.
Okay?
Let's have a national language.
Let's have some criteria for immigrants who come to this country because we want immigrants who come to this country to actually have the best chance possible to be successful and their children to flourish.
Okay?
What else do we do?
Let's have some policy that encourages two-parent households.
Here's the thing.
If you believe that taxation, if you believe that economic policy, particularly fiscal policy as it relates to taxation, is a good Manipulator of behavior, this is what the left believes, this is why they want to tax cigarettes, this is why they want to tax big gulps for crying out loud, this is why they want to tax gasoline more, this is why they want a carbon tax.
If you believe that...
Then you would have to acknowledge that the inverse is true.
Let's continue to provide some economic incentives to reward people who create and foster a two-parent household in a nuclear family, as opposed to trying to destroy it like Black Lives Matter.
Ooh, again, people you align yourselves with.
And let's also have some, you know what, not have some laws, let's eliminate all laws on the books that exist right now.
To incentivize, in any way, shape, or form, single-parent households.
So that means the welfare laws, that means the EBT laws, that means the laws that created a baby mama, that means laws that say, oh, you know what?
You get two welfare checks if you're not officially married, but if you're a couple, you only get one.
Let's get rid of—so it's that simple.
National language, let's incentivize two-parent households, and not only that, culturally, let's try and start celebrating it a little bit, and let's get rid of all laws that exist on the books that could even possibly Incentivize the opposite.
Single-parent households.
You start with that, that's going to do a whole lot more than doubling the per-pupil spending or doubling the amount of black Americans who are accepted into Harvard, which means that you will get half the amount of qualified Asians who are accepted into Harvard, regardless of how much money you throw at it.
There's a starting point.
There's a solution.
If you agree, look, you can comment below.
You can smash that like button.
We're going to continue talking about this in a way that we can't talk about on YouTube because it'll just accuse you of being racist.
Export Selection
