00:02:02.000Frankly, remember my favorite Trump moment, actually, my two favorites, it's hard to decide which is the winner, but I like when he was talking about anchor babies and the guy from Telemundo says, excuse me, excuse me, Mr. Trump, excuse me.
00:02:17.000Why do you say anchor baby when you should say non-offensive word?
00:03:54.000As Jason Riley says, the black man who is married to Naomi Schaefer-Riley, a great columnist, he wrote a book called Please Stop Helping Us, How Liberals Are Making It Harder for Blacks in America.
00:04:19.000Anyway, so my two favorite Trump moments is one that he said, he was saying Anchor Baby in the Univision guy goes, excuse me, why do you say that?
00:04:27.000Well, you should say the word is offensive.
00:04:30.000And Trump goes, okay, well, what do you want me to say?
00:04:33.000Open-minded, like, let's hear your side of it.
00:07:52.000And he said, how you doing, you big water tower head?
00:07:56.000And I wanted to buy one of his drawings.
00:07:57.000He can look at something and remember it perfectly and then recreate it and get license plates right and stuff like that and signs on buses just from memory.
00:10:36.000Anyway, if you, he turned me on to the Tom Wilson, and I looked him up online, and lo and behold, there's Jeff talking to Tom Wilson on American Apparel's radio station.
00:12:18.000You know, I'm going to be honest with you.
00:12:20.000I feel like that, even though that's the title song of the LP, it's not really one of the best songs on the record, and I never really got that into that particular song.
00:12:30.000So I can't comment on the lyrics of that one.
00:12:45.000It's been a while since I put that one on.
00:12:47.000Would you say that you start watching this outsider art as a joke and then you get Stockholm Syndrome and the next thing you know you genuinely enjoy it?
00:12:55.000I don't know if it's quite, I think that's an oversimplification of it, but in the case of Tom Wilson, it was just a record that Doug found at a dollar bin and he threw it on and the immediate first moment of his voice is hilarious.
00:20:27.000And then the next thing you know, they were pushed to the outskirts of society where they became alt-right because everyone kept saying, you're alt-right, you're altruist, alt-right, you're alt-right, you're alt-right, until no one would hang out with them.
00:20:39.000And they end up talking to Nazis and they end up getting radicalized.
00:20:42.000So the irony, I remember the Southern Poverty Law Center blamed Proud Boys for radicalizing.
00:21:36.000Intelligent people explain to him how he's wrong, and that idea gets quashed.
00:21:43.000So if it's a tweet, then there can be a thread, and you have intelligent people, I've talked about this before, like say Prager or Ezra, explain to the guy why he's wrong, and you can rescue him from the precipice of extreme anti-Semitism.
00:21:56.000But when you isolate him, he becomes more anti-Semitic, and then you end up creating this sort of Nazi cabal.
00:22:02.000We've tried the non-freedom thing before.
00:22:19.000Very soon, time soon, then the relocation of my family will be needed.
00:22:27.000I wake up, the first thing I do, before I talk to anyone, before I turn on my phone, is go on my YouTube channel and make sure it's still there.
00:23:42.000I don't like stuff like that where there's no hope.
00:23:44.000But I talked to the filmmakers and I said, I hope this isn't like, we're the victims and I might get kicked off YouTube and my neighbors were mean to me.
00:29:41.000She's a tedious and dogmatic feminist who is uninformed and terrible at debates and just parrots DNC talking points to pedantic levels of tedium.
00:29:53.000But you're going to deny that she's breathtakingly gorgeous?
00:32:43.00017, the chick in the USAA ad, who's pregnant, so that's kind of perverted of you to put her there.
00:32:51.000But yeah, this chick does an insurance ad, and I don't want to take away a wife from a military man, but if God forbid anything happens to him, this would be a good wife.
00:33:18.000With that Katie Mixon picture, I was doubting myself and thinking about changing the list.
00:33:22.000But now it's going to be all smooth sailing.
00:33:23.000Kimberly Guilfoil, as one guy at a bar put it to me, he said, she is the kind of woman you would kill your kids on Christmas morning just to be able to eat her ass.
00:33:59.000Oh, and another thing that's incredibly attractive about her is she does these YouTube videos where she torments telemarketers and she cracks herself up, and that's very attractive.
00:34:12.000But yeah, I'm having second thoughts about her.
00:39:46.000Third most beautiful person in the world is Larissa Swanson from an episode of The Prophet where her dad was a shady fish salesman who kept burning down his properties, I believe, as an insurance scam.
00:42:50.000Laquitia is the hilarious, heartwarming story of Joe, an astute, underachieving Detroit bartender of Valerie's Truth, blah, blah, blah, who does a black female personality.
00:42:58.000And he becomes a successful radio star.
00:43:01.000And then as he gets more and more popular, I think he has to hire like an actress to play him.
00:43:06.000But do they do a black woman's voice or do they have him doing a black woman's voice?
00:44:40.000This was a very popular show, and it wasn't meant to lampoon black people.
00:44:45.000And then you have Black Pete in the Netherlands, who is Santa's right-hand man, and everyone in town wears blackface to celebrate Santa's black, I guess, helper.
00:44:58.000So we're just so desperate for racism, though, that we find that percentage of blackface that was lampooning blacks and then say anyone.
00:45:05.000Like Fred Armerson, when he played Barack Obama on SNL, he couldn't make his face darker because that would be blackface.
00:45:13.000So it just looked like Barack Obama has food poisoning and he's really, really sick.
00:45:18.000All right, let's play the Laquitia trailer.
00:46:50.000Like there's a movie where David Cross plays a guy who, no, it's a black guy who speaks white, and they use David Cross's voice, and his life becomes super successful after he becomes a white guy.
00:47:04.000So white face, the exact same premise, is reversed, and that's totally fine because you're recognizing that white people get all this privilege they don't deserve.
00:48:41.000What happened to Boots next chilled me to my marrow?
00:48:43.000He began applying to medical schools, and we both figured we would sail through, get many interviews, and then have his pick.
00:48:48.000Boots was a year older, and medical school was everything he'd worked for since starting at the University of Chicago.
00:48:52.000His grades and test scores were better than mine because, unlike me, he actually studied.
00:48:56.000But when he applied to 15 medical schools, got only two interviews and was accepted to exactly zero schools.
00:49:04.000He felt like a college running back who thinks he'll go to the Patriots in the second round and is done when he's relegated to play in the CFL.
00:49:10.000So, and Mindy must have been pissed about this because it was all over the news.
00:49:15.000So, he pretended to be black and got into med school.
00:49:21.000When Elizabeth Warren did that and pretended she was an American Indian, it pissed me off because she's taking a place in American Indian, a real one could have had.
00:49:30.000But this case, it doesn't piss me off.
00:49:37.000Third example, a white guy pretended to be Chinese for a poetry contest, and it worked.
00:49:46.000At the back of the 2015 edition of the Best American Poetry Posey, Yi Fen Chao is revealed as the pen name of Michael Derek Hudson from Indiana.
00:49:55.000Hudson writes that his poem chosen for the anthology, The Bees, the Flowers, Jesus, Ancient Tigers, Poseidon, Adam, and Eve, was rejected under his real name 40 times before he sent it out as Yi Fen Chao, when it was rejected nine times before getting accepted.
00:50:10.000If indeed this is one of the best American poems of 2015, it took quite a bit of effort to get it into print.
00:50:16.000But I'm nothing if not persistent, writes Hudson.
00:50:20.000This is the tangled web we weave when we ignore truth and meritocracy and try to correct the universe that God made.
00:50:29.000If someone is qualified for medical school, by the way, I'm about to say a bunch of horrible, racist, revolutionary, radical stuff.
