Transcript

00:00:08.000 Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, lie, biddy, ouch.
00:00:20.000 Live from New York, it's get off my run with Kevin McGill.
00:00:30.000 Look at me, I'm a beautiful creature.
00:00:33.000 I don't care about your modern time, preacher.
00:00:37.000 Come by too much noise, I won't teach ya.
00:00:45.000 I think you forgot that I played my tandem.
00:00:48.000 That is a fat Jewish woman who goes by the name Neta, which is what the Scots call woman named Janet.
00:00:56.000 Yorit Neta.
00:00:58.000 I like that being parallel to the edge of the screen.
00:01:01.000 And that song is toy.
00:01:04.000 It is Israel's submission to Eurovision.
00:01:08.000 Eurovision is the gayest thing in the world.
00:01:13.000 A lot of comedians are into it, ironically, sort of like The Bachelor.
00:01:18.000 Here in New York, we would go to bars and watch it all.
00:01:21.000 And it's various European countries entering a competition to do a hot song.
00:01:28.000 And they have Russia.
00:01:30.000 It's more than just Western Europe.
00:01:32.000 It's basically everywhere.
00:01:34.000 It's global.
00:01:35.000 I think there's an America, actually, now that I think about it.
00:01:38.000 I'm not sure.
00:01:39.000 I'm not sure how many countries enter, but you realize how good America and Britain are at rock and roll and pop and music generally.
00:01:48.000 And how bad everyone else is.
00:01:51.000 How alarmingly gay.
00:01:53.000 And I mean that in the fifth grade person sense, meaning super lame.
00:01:59.000 Look at this big fat pig.
00:02:02.000 You know what's funny about her is inside that chub, you can see a pretty woman.
00:02:07.000 You can see an attractive lady trying to get out.
00:02:10.000 Never forget, you're divine and he's about to regret.
00:02:15.000 He's about to regret.
00:02:17.000 Bye.
00:02:18.000 I'm not your dog.
00:02:24.000 Not your dog.
00:02:26.000 You stupid boy.
00:02:27.000 Stupid boy.
00:02:30.000 I'll take you down.
00:02:31.000 I'll make you watch me.
00:02:34.000 I can't share with my dolls on the mud of my car.
00:02:36.000 You know what's funny about that song?
00:02:38.000 I'm Not Your Toy, You Stupid Boy?
00:02:39.000 And it's a bunch of fives telling me that they're not my sex toy.
00:02:44.000 Okay, done.
00:02:46.000 Deal.
00:02:47.000 I promise not to use you just for sex.
00:02:50.000 I promise not to correspond with you in any way, shape, or form.
00:02:54.000 Ladies, you can be arrogant and tell someone they're not your toy when you're like a 7.4 and up.
00:03:02.000 Fives saying this, you can't have any of this.
00:03:05.000 You're going to get a lot of, alrighty, that's fine with me.
00:03:09.000 We've got a fun show for you today.
00:03:10.000 Let me just show you the New York Post.
00:03:14.000 Don Jr.'s with some trashy broad letting his marriage fall to shit.
00:03:18.000 I mean, that's one of the problems, Don, with divorce is you're teaching your kids that there's no need for monogamy, and you end up with some flippant marriages afterwards.
00:03:30.000 So I think the boys, probably not Ivanka, but I think the boys are going to tend to stray from the path of monogamy because, like father, like son.
00:03:38.000 So downside of divorce, but I don't care as far as presidential qualifications go.
00:03:44.000 I don't care about people's personal sex lives.
00:03:46.000 And then speaking of sex lives, no one outside of New York would care about this, but Christine Quinn and the chick from Sex in the City are both fighting for what?
00:04:00.000 Mayor?
00:04:00.000 Fighting to become mayor?
00:04:01.000 Quinn's a lesbian, and then she calls the Sex in the City chick an unqualified lesbian.
00:04:06.000 It's a boring gay cat fight.
00:04:09.000 I want to go over, we've got a snow day today here, and there's not a lot of New Yorkers running around.
00:04:14.000 Everyone is trying to get back to the burbs before the trains shut down.
00:04:19.000 My guests couldn't make it today, and we're going to focus on snow day stuff, which is staying inside and watching TV.
00:04:30.000 And also, I want to break down this decoded video that's on MTV that talks about Asian privilege and how it's racist for you to notice that Asians are doing well.
00:04:38.000 It's remarkably absurd, and it's going to take a large chunk of the show.
00:04:43.000 But before we get to those two super fun things, I want to just go over some of the news that has escaped us as of late because we've had such jam-packed shows.
00:04:54.000 College of the Holy Cross has taken down their mascot.
00:04:58.000 College of the Holy Cross.
00:05:02.000 The political correctness is ruining Christianity.
00:05:06.000 So I saw this on Jihad Watch.
00:05:08.000 That's Robert Spencer's site.
00:05:10.000 And their mascot is a crusader, a Christian crusader.
00:05:12.000 You got a picture of him?
00:05:14.000 By the way, by the by, let's just make this clear about the Crusades.
00:05:18.000 It was not Christians randomly bullying innocent Muslims.
00:05:22.000 It was, as Spencer puts it, a late and small-scale defensive reaction to 450 years of imperialist jihad aggression that had conquered and Islamicized what had been half of the Christian world.
00:05:39.000 Why are we embarrassed of the Crusades?
00:05:41.000 I'm very proud of the Crusades.
00:05:43.000 That's when we kicked ass.
00:05:44.000 You know, a lot of these so-called persecutions of Muslims are just Christians reacting to Muslim oppression, like the Marines.
00:05:51.000 Why do the Marines exist?
00:05:53.000 Because Muslims were stealing our women.
00:05:55.000 Muslim pirates, barbers, were stealing our B-A-R-B-A-R, by the way.
00:06:00.000 We're stealing our women and turning them into slaves, sex slaves.
00:06:03.000 So we created the Marines to stop them.
00:06:07.000 Or was that the Navy?
00:06:09.000 A big part of the American military is founded in fighting Islam.
00:06:14.000 Speaking of fighting Islam, God bless you is considered anti-Muslim.
00:06:19.000 Isn't it bizarre?
00:06:20.000 And this is a common theme of the show, where we are so quick to persecute anyone who might be considered a racist or a Nazi if they're white, even if they've spelled a word wrong.
00:06:29.000 Or we got comedians saying, you know, screw Count Dankula for getting arrested.
00:06:35.000 We hate him.
00:06:37.000 You should never do racist jokes.
00:06:38.000 And then we see, of course, they do tons of racist jokes.
00:06:40.000 Chelsea Handler did this too.
00:06:42.000 But yeah, God Bless You is anti-Muslim.
00:06:45.000 I thought that was fascinating.
00:06:49.000 I'm not appeasing people.
00:06:51.000 That's not what immigration is about.
00:06:52.000 That's not what diversity is about.
00:06:54.000 Diversity should be a diverse group of cultures recognizing the West is the best and assimilating to it.
00:07:00.000 This is a great story we didn't cover.
00:07:02.000 A ninja attempts to stab her boyfriend.
00:07:06.000 That's right, a ninja.
00:07:08.000 So this woman, she's decided that she's unhappy that her boyfriend is leaving her.
00:07:12.000 And because kids play so many video games and they think a ninja sword, a samurai sword, is a perfectly reasonable weapon, she taped all these swords and knives to the bed.
00:07:23.000 So as he's sleeping, she can stab him.
00:07:26.000 Now he woke up and fought her off.
00:07:29.000 Women even armed with ninja tools cannot beat up men.
00:07:34.000 And I love the quote he said.
00:07:36.000 It's right out of Tolkien.
00:07:37.000 He said, I'm just so proud for beating this samurai, wannabe, crazy lady with hate in her heart, the 29-year-old told the Oregonian.
00:07:46.000 I've been preparing my whole life for something like this.
00:07:51.000 By the way, why does he have his hat on in the hospital?
00:07:54.000 That bothers me.
00:07:56.000 You got a, like, why don't you have a scarf on too or some sunglasses?
00:08:00.000 I don't understand that.
00:08:01.000 Well, it's about making him feel at home.
00:08:03.000 Well, he's not at home.
00:08:04.000 He's at the hospital.
00:08:05.000 Take your stupid hat off.
00:08:06.000 He almost died.
00:08:09.000 Also in the news, of course, Steven Crowder still banned.
00:08:12.000 He dared to mock LGBT.
00:08:15.000 You cannot do that.
00:08:16.000 You can mock white men and Christians.
00:08:17.000 That's the only people you can mock.
00:08:19.000 And there's one thing we've learned from all this censorship.
00:08:22.000 It's that the old adage is true, that if you want to see who's in control, see who you can make fun of.
00:08:29.000 And you cannot make fun of gays or Muslims.
00:08:33.000 So also in the war on words, Prager You has been censored on YouTube.
00:08:39.000 Prager You.
00:08:41.000 Prager You, by the way, I was supposed to do a video with them and they canned it citing they were busy or something.
00:08:46.000 I think they canned it because they saw me as too contentious.
00:08:50.000 So I'm not arguing against them for that.
00:08:52.000 I'm just saying that that is how politically correct they are.
00:08:55.000 They're very clean.
00:08:56.000 In fact, if all of their videos, 100% of their videos belong in schools, and it wouldn't be radical to see them in schools.
00:09:03.000 I mean, it would be with school culture today.
00:09:05.000 But if you had an objective look at it and you came from out of space and looked down and saw the video, you'd go, that's reasonable.
00:09:12.000 That should be taught in school.
00:09:13.000 They're very informative educational videos.
00:09:16.000 Check out, this is briefly, uh, them just talking about the censorship.
00:09:43.000 And finally, Elizabeth Holmes stole $700 million.
00:09:49.000 And again, it seems like there's a common thread here where white guys are evil and everyone else gets a pass.
00:09:56.000 Elizabeth Holmes was a brutal, worse than Bernie Sanders, basically, a brutal fraudster.
00:10:02.000 And she created this big company that was going to give everyone a free blood test and that will get all our DNA out there and protect people and you're going to have lung cancer soon.
00:10:11.000 And just more of a giant database of potential diseases, which, by the way, almost everyone in biotech is working on right now.
00:10:17.000 It's not a revolutionary idea.
00:10:18.000 We're all trying to create this massive sort of a DNA Google.
00:10:23.000 So when you're born, they go, you have a predisposition for lung cancer, and your heart is not going to be doing great in 50 years.
00:10:32.000 I've actually heard doctors worried about this kind of research because they're scared it will affect health care.
00:10:37.000 They'll just check your DNA and go, you're too risky.
00:10:40.000 You may not have health care.
00:10:42.000 But she embezzled basically $700 million, so she's going to jail.
00:10:46.000 And when you read these stories about it, they're the opposite of Shkreli.
00:10:50.000 Now, Shkreli took his investors' money and invested it in something that he didn't tell them about.
00:10:56.000 And he said, no, I'm putting it over there.
00:10:58.000 It's safe.
00:10:58.000 And he was lying.
00:10:59.000 And he took their money and put it over here.
00:11:01.000 That's bad.
00:11:02.000 That's immoral.
00:11:03.000 He didn't lose any investors a dime, and he didn't profit from this.
00:11:07.000 But everyone is rejoicing in his persecution.
00:11:10.000 But with Elizabeth Holmes, there's a strange tone of her 15-year odyssey to revolutionize the blood testing business began with huge promise, but has been engulfed by ignominy.
00:11:23.000 Throw a big word there at the end so people don't realize how evil she is.
00:11:27.000 And by the way, I think I'm bringing back the word evil.
00:11:30.000 Jim Goad convinced me not to, and he said it's a dumb word.
00:11:34.000 It's for fairy tales, and there's just human beings, and human beings are corrupt, and human beings can be inbred, or they can be the result of something.
00:11:42.000 But to talk about this sort of evil thing, it's a bunch of religious bullshit and I'm starting to change my mind.
00:11:47.000 You know, talking about her, talking about Elizabeth Holmes, and yesterday on the podcast talking about heroin, I'm starting to think there really is such a thing as evil.
00:11:59.000 Yes, the fairy tale children's book version of the word evil.
00:12:05.000 Anyway, let's watch some TV and then discuss Asian privilege in depth.
00:12:12.000 So they caught the Austin bomber.
00:12:16.000 I wish he was Muslim.
00:12:17.000 That would help my political agenda.
00:12:19.000 Every time there's a tragedy, every time people die, I think, how can I make this about me?
00:12:24.000 How can I make this about my political penchant?
00:12:28.000 So if there's a school shooting, I want to make sure that a good guy with a gun got him, and then I can talk about a good guy with a gun.
00:12:35.000 And if there's any kind of mass killing or bombing, fingers crossed, Muslim.
00:12:40.000 But I don't think this guy was Muslim.
00:12:42.000 He might have just been a typical redneck.
00:12:44.000 And we had a viewer from the show send in footage.
00:12:47.000 Apparently this guy, this bomber, had a talk show before.
00:12:52.000 And he made it very clear he likes to blow people up.
00:12:55.000 And there were celebrities on the show.
00:12:57.000 Now, I haven't watched this yet, but according to Our viewer, our fan, our loyal watcher, this guy interviewed Meryl Streep.
00:13:09.000 I believe this is him in the hat.
00:13:11.000 Let's check it out.
00:13:12.000 Yeah, every film I ever seen in yours either crying or blowing your nose.
00:13:16.000 Well, now, I don't know about you, Belisar, but I'd love to see Meryl blow up for us right now.
00:13:21.000 Yeah, it blocked real good.
00:13:23.000 She did it!
00:13:45.000 She did it!
00:13:45.000 She blowed up!
00:13:45.000 She blowed up!
00:13:48.000 She really did it.
00:13:50.000 That's clearly a comedy sketch and not footage of the bomber in Austin.
00:13:55.000 I apologize for that.
00:13:58.000 You know, not everything gets screened on this show, and sometimes stuff gets through, and that's very unfortunate, something we have to live with here on live TV.
00:14:07.000 But I'm glad that the viewer brought up TV because we've had a multitude of snowstorms here in New York.
00:14:13.000 There's not a lot to do.
00:14:15.000 And when you can't go outside, you watch TV.
00:14:16.000 And I'd like to recommend some television for you.
00:14:20.000 First of all, there's Wild, Wild Country, a documentary on Netflix that I am totally addicted to.
00:14:28.000 It is a brilliant documentary about some Rajabanish guy who had a cult in India and moved it to Ohio.
00:14:37.000 He bought 60,000 acres of land.
00:14:39.000 Why are you just frozen on the Sundance logo?
00:14:42.000 Is that entertaining to our viewers?
00:14:45.000 I hope you like laurels because we like to show you logos with laurels.
00:14:50.000 There he is.
00:14:51.000 Let's show some of it full screen.
00:14:55.000 I'm here in one of the largest ranches in the Northwest.
00:14:58.000 Today, it's Rajneesh Purim because a prominent Indian guru and his followers bought it.
00:15:04.000 Our vision was to create a community based on compassion and sharing.
00:15:10.000 Bogwan's agenda was simply to raise the consciousness of humanity.
00:15:15.000 That was his goal.
00:15:17.000 America was a land of promise.
00:15:20.000 It's not conviction.
00:15:21.000 We will have no promise.
00:15:22.000 It was conviction.
00:15:24.000 I don't think America has a place for these people.
00:15:29.000 All right, that's enough.
00:15:30.000 You can let it continue to play in the background of San's volume.
00:15:34.000 What's brilliant about this documentary is it doesn't choose sides.
00:15:37.000 I'm only a couple episodes in, so I don't know where it's going.
00:15:42.000 But it's so easy to do a doc and go, this is an evil cult.
00:15:45.000 These people are insane.
00:15:46.000 They suck shit.
00:15:47.000 Got it.
00:15:48.000 But this doesn't do that.
00:15:49.000 It shows you a crazy-looking cult, but they have tons of members.
00:15:57.000 Excuse me.
00:15:58.000 They have tons of members who are still members.
00:16:02.000 There's people still following this guy.
00:16:04.000 I think he's got like 4 million Facebook followers.
00:16:06.000 You have Madonna and celebrities today talking about how knowledgeable this guy is.
00:16:13.000 And that's, to me, what the truth is about.
00:16:15.000 That's what all documentaries should be.
00:16:17.000 Not just, here's a cult, here's a bunch of lunatics, they're all insane, screw them.
00:16:20.000 That's not interesting to me.
00:16:22.000 The truth is more nuanced and gray.
00:16:26.000 Also, worth checking out is the remarkably refreshing Humanity by stand-up comedian Ricky Gervais.
00:16:34.000 This is his most recent special.
00:16:35.000 Interesting guy, Franco-Ontarian parent and a British working-class parent, very old parents.
00:16:42.000 I think they're all dead.
00:16:44.000 But it's fun watching stand-up where someone's actually brave for a change.
00:16:49.000 Play some of that.
00:16:51.000 How you doing?
00:16:52.000 Calm down, Carl.
00:16:54.000 Shut the f โ‡ up.
00:16:58.000 What a lovely welcome.
00:16:59.000 Just for that, I'm going to try my hardest tonight.
00:17:02.000 Don't even think anything in Rick, relax.
00:17:04.000 We've already had our money's worth just seeing you.
00:17:07.000 What?
00:17:08.000 You're a legend.
00:17:09.000 Shut up.
00:17:09.000 Why is he?
00:17:11.000 I'm just an ordinary guy going around talking to people.
00:17:14.000 Sort of like Jesus.
00:17:17.000 There are some major flaws with it, by the way.
00:17:19.000 That joke, I'm traveling around talking to people just like Jesus.
00:17:23.000 That's David Brent.
00:17:24.000 That's his character in the office.
00:17:25.000 Did that.
00:17:26.000 He seems to steal a few jokes.
00:17:29.000 He talks about, there was a Louis C.K. bit he stole in it.
00:17:34.000 What was that one again?
00:17:36.000 Oh yeah, he goes, he's talking about nut allergies.
00:17:40.000 And he said, you know, I was on the plane, there was this woman, and if I had any kind of nuts, she could die, just being near nuts.
00:17:46.000 And he said, do we really want someone like this in the gene pool?
00:17:49.000 Let's let them die.
00:17:50.000 And Louis C.K. has a bit about that where he said, all these kids are allergic to nuts.
00:17:55.000 Let's just have nuts around for one year, just nuts everywhere, and these kids will be gone, and that whole phenomenon will be over.
00:18:03.000 Funny bit.
00:18:03.000 Ricky stole it.
00:18:06.000 He also talks about crouching on a plane and how useless it is.
00:18:11.000 That's a Billy Connolly bit.
00:18:12.000 Billy Connolly is a Scottish comedian, and he talks about the pillows you get and crouching, and he says, well, the crouching doesn't do anything.
00:18:18.000 And he also says with the pillows, if you're going to hit a mountain, which Ricky Gervais references, you scream, what are you going to do?
00:18:23.000 Go, go away, nasty mountain, and throw the pillows at the mountain as you crash into it.
00:18:29.000 It's been done, but it might not have been stolen.
00:18:31.000 I mean, this is a 70s comedian, and I'm a comedy expert.
00:18:34.000 So every time you say a joke, I can sift through my massive Rolodex and go, that's been said.
00:18:39.000 But oftentimes people will say things that have already come up.
00:18:45.000 I'm starting with all the bad first, by the way.
00:18:47.000 He also talked about Brexit a little bit in it.
00:18:50.000 And he said, Brexit was just the average person.
00:18:53.000 And we think, you know, in media and in politics, we have to talk to the average person.
00:18:57.000 No, the average person is a fucking moron.
00:19:01.000 And then everyone laughs and claps.
00:19:04.000 And I just thought, what an elitist ponce.
00:19:08.000 And that's really the worst thing about Britain is this classism where they look down at the blue collars and everyone claps when you call them dumb.
00:19:15.000 Really irritating.
00:19:17.000 Brexit was the people speaking and the people were right, Ricky.
00:19:20.000 It's funny that his new thing now is, I'm all about free speech and atheism.
00:19:25.000 Okay?
00:19:26.000 I just want you to know that you are Tommy Robinson.
00:19:29.000 You are Lauren Southern.
00:19:31.000 You're Martin Sellner.
00:19:32.000 you're Brittany Pettibone.
00:19:34.000 Those people are banned, not Tommy, but the other three are banned from Britain for blaspheming Islam.
00:19:42.000 Okay?
00:19:42.000 He went out on Sunday and spoke at Speaker's Corner.
00:19:45.000 I actually saw Ricky Gervais was tweeting support for our buddy Count Dankula.
00:19:51.000 You got to watch it, Ricky.
00:19:52.000 I know it's cool to be a comedian and to be a rebel, but today's rebels are known as Nazis.
00:19:59.000 Count Dankula is known as a Nazi.
00:20:01.000 So is Martin Sellner.
00:20:02.000 If you want to fight for free speech in 2018, it's probably the least fashionable it's ever been because it's immediately associated with the alt-right and being evil.
00:20:13.000 Another thing that bothered me about it, I'm telling you how great this was and then listing all the horrible things about it.
00:20:18.000 He talked about the Fujin province, what's it called?
00:20:21.000 Yulin Dog Festival, how they eat dogs and they torture them in China.
00:20:27.000 I've seen a lot of people in LA get really mad about this.
00:20:30.000 Hey, rich people, hey, limousine liberals.
00:20:33.000 That's China.
00:20:34.000 They eat dogs.
00:20:35.000 They eat everything.
00:20:37.000 And they torture them.
00:20:39.000 They torture all the animals they eat because they think the food tastes better.
00:20:43.000 Yulin Province isn't remotely unique.
00:20:46.000 You can get dogs anywhere.
00:20:49.000 Go to any bona fide restaurant, even in Beijing and Shanghai and nice cities, and you can go order a dog.
00:20:55.000 And that dog was raised in a cage and that dog was tortured.
00:20:58.000 So it's funny how the West will hear about the non-West and they'll just sort of sample a little piece, like bring our girls home with Boko Haram.
00:21:06.000 Remember that with Michelle Obama?
00:21:08.000 Michelle, they had just murdered 200 schoolboys, boys, the week before.
00:21:14.000 That's Africa.
00:21:15.000 That's what's going on there.
00:21:17.000 They're murdering Christians today for daring to refuse to convert to Islam.
00:21:23.000 That's what goes on there.
00:21:24.000 Your little sign implies that it just happened once.
00:21:30.000 And he talks about retweets and tweeting and what he tweeted to someone.
00:21:34.000 That's also lame.
00:21:35.000 So I'm sorry to list all the bad things.
00:21:37.000 Oh yeah, one more bad thing.
00:21:39.000 And we talked about this on Twitter.
00:21:40.000 We had a little back and forth.
00:21:41.000 But he said, rape jokes are not about rape.
00:21:45.000 No one jokes about the actual act, not even rapists.
00:21:50.000 And I found, remember Donna Hilton, the woman who was at the Women's March telling you about equality and how important it is to be fair?
00:22:00.000 Well, her accomplice, she kidnapped a guy for, I think, a week and tortured him, a gay guy, kept him in a closet, and eventually they raped him to death with a pole, a steel pole.
00:22:11.000 And the woman who did it, Donna's accomplice, said, I knew he was gay.
00:22:16.000 How'd you know?
00:22:17.000 Because he wriggled when I stuck the bar up his ass.
00:22:19.000 And I thought, look, this anecdotal evidence, it doesn't disprove Ricky's point.
00:22:23.000 But it is interesting that here we have an example of a rapist joking about the actual rape.
00:22:29.000 It's an exception to the rule.
00:22:30.000 And of course, it shows up in the far-left, socialist, crazy person world of the Woman's March and all these bizarre people we have to fight with.
00:22:41.000 But here's the point.
00:22:43.000 Here's the point of why Humanity is a great show, despite those 37 flaws I just listed.
00:22:48.000 It is ballsy and rude.
00:22:51.000 And he talks about Caitlin Jenner and says she's a terrible driver.
00:22:55.000 She's not doing anything for women drivers.
00:22:57.000 And he talks about the obvious thing that no one's talking about, where he goes, kills someone in a car and then goes home and puts a dress on, and we all forget about it.
00:23:06.000 I mean, it was so refreshing seeing a comedian be ballsy and rude and crass and offensive and talk to a massive audience.
00:23:15.000 There must have been 80,000 people there.
00:23:16.000 To talk to a massive audience the way we all talk in bars.
00:23:19.000 It's so rare in stand-up comedy these days.
00:23:23.000 It's all about Trump.
00:23:24.000 Three jokes with stand-up.
00:23:25.000 Trump is Satan.
00:23:26.000 Trump is Hitler.
00:23:27.000 2016 sucked.
00:23:29.000 Again and again on a loop, and it's so dull.
00:23:31.000 And it leaves open this wide array of references and jokes you can make.
00:23:36.000 Go make fun of Islam.
00:23:37.000 Go make fun of this stupid trans movement.
00:23:39.000 And Ricky Gervais does.
00:23:41.000 So, warts and all, I highly recommend humanity.
00:23:45.000 I don't recommend you watch this SCTV sketch.
00:23:48.000 It's got nothing to do with the bomber.
00:23:50.000 And I highly recommend you check out that wild, what's it called?
00:23:53.000 Wild, wild country?
00:23:55.000 Yeah.
00:23:55.000 Wild, wild country on Netflix.
00:24:02.000 America is a free country.
00:24:04.000 I have a very controversial belief, and that is I don't think racism exists.
00:24:10.000 Sure, there's a lot of anti-white racism, and sure there's some redneck who said the N-word last year.
00:24:15.000 But as far as the ups and downs and affirmative action, it's all in 2018 a pretty much level playing field.
00:24:22.000 Yes, America has a dark past, has a dark past treatment of the Indians, dark past treatments of blacks.
00:24:27.000 But as Pat Buchanan says, we didn't start slavery, we ended it.
00:24:31.000 So why then are black people doing badly?
00:24:34.000 Why do other immigrants do well?
00:24:37.000 If America is racist, then wouldn't all non-whites be doing badly?
00:24:42.000 Why are Asians doing so well?
00:24:44.000 Well, I'm happy to tell you the answer to all of those questions.
00:24:48.000 Blacks are doing badly, generally, in America, because of welfare.
00:24:54.000 The state, and this goes back to the New Deal, the state decided that it would take over the family, the black family, the poor family, and it incentivized single moms.
00:25:05.000 So she kicks her baby daddy out.
00:25:07.000 That shatters the family.
00:25:09.000 Now we have these kids with idle hands who get into trouble, get into drug dealing, get into crime, they go to jail.
00:25:14.000 They don't have a, now that dad is in prison, and we have an entire culture without dads.
00:25:21.000 Three in four black children are born out of wedlock.
00:25:25.000 In areas here in New York and the Bronx, it can go up to 80%, especially with Puerto Ricans on third generation welfare.
00:25:33.000 That is why black people are doing badly.
00:25:38.000 And to say that that is an example of racism is to put the carriage before the horse.
00:25:45.000 You know, black people back in the 50s and 60s, before welfare was so popular, they committed crimes about the same that white people committed crimes.
00:25:56.000 So it's not an inherent black thing to end up In prison, but it's also not racism.
00:26:03.000 America's not racist.
00:26:04.000 And I love using the example of Asians because these people who bitch about racism all the time are left having to explain it.
00:26:11.000 Like, if America is so racist and it's so, there's so much white privilege, why are whites something like sixth as far as successful ethnic groups?
00:26:20.000 I believe they're below, not African Americans, but American Africans.
00:26:24.000 We got Lebanese Americans at the top.
00:26:26.000 I believe Indian Americans, not feather, but dot.
00:26:30.000 I believe Indian Americans are the most successful ethnic group in this country.
00:26:35.000 So that kind of kills the narrative.
00:26:38.000 And watching these people twist themselves into a pretzel, trying to explain that is a ton of fun.
00:26:44.000 I remember it happened, I first saw it a few years ago, maybe five years ago, where they said, racism is bad.
00:26:51.000 We can't have racism anymore.
00:26:52.000 And then they started analyzing it and going on social media and they realized, wait a minute, it seems like Asians and blacks and Indians and Hispanics, they're the ones saying the most racist stuff.
00:27:03.000 I got to recalibrate this.
00:27:05.000 So then they changed it.
00:27:07.000 And then it wasn't, well, racism isn't bad.
00:27:09.000 Racism from whites is bad.
00:27:11.000 When you hear racist statements from other people, they don't matter because they don't have power.
00:27:16.000 So they're just lashing out at a system that hurts them.
00:27:20.000 But they're allowed to be racist.
00:27:21.000 In fact, there's no such thing as racism coming from blacks.
00:27:24.000 It can only come from whites.
00:27:25.000 And you go, wow, that's quite a pretzel.
00:27:27.000 Let me hear you explain successful Asians, who, by the way, are way more successful than whites.
00:27:33.000 And I assume racists don't like Asians.
00:27:36.000 Don't they call them like chinks and stuff?
00:27:39.000 Let's see what she's got to say about this.
00:27:43.000 Patronizing term.
00:27:44.000 From books like Crazy Rich Asians to characters like London Tipton from The Sweet Life of Zach and Cody, the archetype of the super wealthy, educated Asian American is a common.
00:27:53.000 And it didn't come off thin air.
00:27:55.000 Did you see that?
00:27:56.000 Mindy Kaling is technically Indian.
00:27:59.000 That's sort of in Asia.
00:28:00.000 So now her and the guy from Humar and Komei or whatever it's called, where they go to White Castle, those are all people who are constantly portrayed as rich people.
00:28:12.000 So I believe she's going to do that whole see it to be it thing and claim that Asians are rich because they're portrayed as rich on TV.
00:28:19.000 Lady, you cannot turn on the TV or a movie without seeing a black brain surgeon.
00:28:25.000 Every head of surgery in every show is a black dude.
00:28:30.000 And I don't believe that works.
00:28:33.000 I don't believe Ben Carson is a brain surgeon because he saw it on TV.
00:28:37.000 The whole idea of see it to be it is a myth.
00:28:40.000 The whole idea that we need role models on TV, people don't take TV that seriously.
00:28:45.000 I don't know why you're putting all your eggs in such an irrelevant basket.
00:28:50.000 All right, go ahead.
00:28:51.000 Mindy Kalinges do earn more than white Americans on average.
00:28:55.000 Why are they combining Indians and Asians?
00:28:57.000 What is this Britain?
00:28:58.000 Inequality is a huge problem in the Asian American community.
00:29:01.000 And to help me talk about it, I've enlisted the help of my friend Lily Dew.
00:29:05.000 Thanks, Francesca.
00:29:06.000 Contrary to what you might believe, not every Asian American is spending their days sipping caviar and eating campaign.
00:29:13.000 Who is this for?
00:29:15.000 Honestly, my son is five.
00:29:17.000 I think this is about his pace.
00:29:19.000 Hey, Johnny, not every Chinese person is rich.
00:29:22.000 Oh, okay.
00:29:25.000 I remember when I was about seven, I remember this guy told me, you know, most midgets are rich.
00:29:30.000 And I said, really?
00:29:31.000 Why?
00:29:32.000 And he goes, because of movies like Time Bandits and stuff.
00:29:34.000 I believed that for a long time.
00:29:36.000 I wish I had seen this video to tell me, not all midgets are rich.
00:29:40.000 Thanks, lady.
00:29:41.000 And by the way, as far as ethnic groups in America, yes, they're slaying.
00:29:46.000 They are slaying whites.
00:29:48.000 So why are you trying to debunk that fact?
00:29:52.000 It's just a fact.
00:29:53.000 Sorry.
00:29:53.000 Asian Americans make more than white Americans.
00:29:57.000 Go ahead.
00:29:58.000 14 study found that while Asian Americans generally earn more than white people, they also have a much higher rate of poverty.
00:30:05.000 Plus the what about Asians, I guess they'll call it an argument, hides huge disparities amongst different Asian ethnic groups.
00:30:12.000 Indian Americans earn twice the national average in median income, while Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Bangladeshi families are at the very bottom of the list.
00:30:20.000 So this begs the question.
00:30:21.000 If not all Asian Americans are making it rain and many are extremely far from it, where did this stereotype come from?
00:30:30.000 Are you following this?
00:30:32.000 Asians as a group make much more than all other ethnic groups.
00:30:37.000 In fact, I'd love to see the ones you'd have to combine to get up to an Asian salary.
00:30:40.000 But this woman says, yeah, what about really terribly poor sh โ‡ countries like Cambodia?
00:30:48.000 They don't make as much as Japanese.
00:30:50.000 Yeah?
00:30:51.000 Just because you found someone at the bottom of the Asian list doesn't mean that Asians in general aren't rich.
00:30:57.000 And then your argument is not all Chinese people are rich.
00:31:00.000 This is juvenile.
00:31:02.000 You don't understand anecdotal evidence.
00:31:04.000 You don't understand patterns.
00:31:06.000 It used to be a joke where we'd say political correctness is just the war on noticing patterns.
00:31:10.000 But now not noticing patterns has become part of your philosophy.
00:31:15.000 You find some woman who's 50 who had a baby and you say, you can have a baby at any age.
00:31:19.000 Well, yeah, it's technically possible to have a baby at any age.
00:31:23.000 But when we're talking about 3.5 billion women, they tend to focus on the 25 to 35 range.
00:31:29.000 And 30 is just like when we're starting to go, brr.
00:31:33.000 Really?
00:31:34.000 Well, I know a seven-year-old.
00:31:35.000 Well, congratulations.
00:31:38.000 Go ahead, Miss Exceptions.
00:31:40.000 It starts with a, um, what's the measurement for racism again?
00:31:44.000 Um, f ton of racism.
00:31:46.000 But maybe not the type you usually hear about, because it's couched in very positive terms.
00:31:51.000 What we're dealing with more specifically is the myth of the model minority, a fairy tale of white supremacy designed to draw a wedge between Asian Americans and other people of color.
00:32:01.000 Let me tell you how it works.
00:32:03.000 The myth came to prominence in the wake of World War II.
00:32:06.000 You know, after Japanese Americans were literally sent to internment camps by the U.S. government, it worked right out the idea that by being hardworking, education-focused, and family-oriented, Asian Americans found success and overcame the massive amount of discrimination and institutionalized racism they faced since the 1800s.
00:32:25.000 The goal of the model minority myth was twofold.
00:32:27.000 One, which is kind of legitimate, was to explain why Asian families were doing so well economically.
00:32:34.000 The much more insidious part was to also reinforce damaging stereotypes about blacks and Hispanics as lazy and uneducated.
00:32:41.000 Basically, the model minority myth is.
00:32:43.000 This one is a doozy.
00:32:45.000 Wow.
00:32:45.000 So the reason that we noticed that Asian Americans do well, and by the way, you can't just be juggling around Indians and Chinese like they're the same people.
00:32:55.000 But the reason that we noticed that these people work hard, treasure their families, stay together, and tend to innovate and do well is because we wanted to insult blacks.
00:33:08.000 That was our motive.
00:33:09.000 Hey, that Chinese family is doing pretty well and they stuck together and the neighborhood is very safe.
00:33:14.000 Oh, so you hate black people?
00:33:16.000 Noticing Chinese people doing well is basically the same as saying the N-word.
00:33:22.000 That is her logic.
00:33:25.000 It is downright bizarre.
00:33:26.000 And by the way, everything you can say about white privilege, you could say about Asian privilege.
00:33:31.000 This whole idea of like, yo, I'm black.
00:33:33.000 When I got in an elevator, women will pull their purse to me.
00:33:36.000 You know how much that hurts me inside?
00:33:38.000 Okay.
00:33:40.000 Asians do the same thing.
00:33:42.000 When a black man walks into an elevator, Asians pull in.
00:33:45.000 When an Asian guy walks into an elevator, no one pulls their purse close to them.
00:33:49.000 So isn't Asian privilege a thing?
00:33:51.000 And if Chinese people are making so much more money than us, then everything bad you can say about white privilege, you can say more to Chinese and Japanese and Asians when it comes to Asian privilege.
00:34:04.000 How is Asian privilege not a thing?
00:34:06.000 I'll tell you what, it's the Achilles heel to your whole mythical religion.
00:34:11.000 And that's why you have to pull this Asian woman over and say, can you talk for a little bit?
00:34:16.000 Because we have a hole in our theory.
00:34:18.000 We have a hole in our lie.
00:34:19.000 This is a problem when you abandon meritocracy and you get into identity politics.
00:34:22.000 You run into problems like this where you have to do this logic pretzel and go...
00:34:51.000 But it is.
00:34:53.000 It's about power.
00:34:55.000 Go ahead.
00:34:57.000 Used to ask harmful questions like, geez, if Asians can make it in America, why can't blank do it as well?
00:35:03.000 Here's the thing.
00:35:04.000 It wasn't hard work, education, or assimilation that helped some Asian Americans find more success than other people of color.
00:35:10.000 It was opportunity brought on by, wait for it, less racism.
00:35:15.000 New research has found that what actually helped Asian Americans was American society simply becoming a tiny bit less racist towards them.
00:35:23.000 In 2016, researcher Nathaniel Hilger found that between 1940 and 1970, Asian Americans, regardless of education levels, started being paid like white people.
00:35:33.000 What happened was that both college-educated Asians and Asian high school dropouts began to make the same as college-educated white people.
00:35:39.000 This is insanity.
00:35:41.000 The reason that Asians are doing well has nothing to do with hard work or family values or education.
00:35:47.000 It's because I was less racist to them in the 70s.
00:35:52.000 The proof?
00:35:53.000 Well, they were making about the same money as whites.
00:35:56.000 Therefore, people were less racist to them.
00:35:59.000 No, they were working hard.
00:36:01.000 That's why they made the same money as white people, because America isn't racist, especially capitalism.
00:36:08.000 Capitalism just wants you to generate income for the company.
00:36:11.000 If you do that, you're in.
00:36:14.000 So to show them making the same money as whites doesn't mean that we were less racist towards them, you buffoon.
00:36:20.000 It means that they were generating more income.
00:36:22.000 We see this with the page gap where they go, women earn less than men.
00:36:26.000 Ergo, sexism.
00:36:28.000 No, women earn less than men.
00:36:31.000 Ergo, women are coming in less.
00:36:34.000 They're less ambitious.
00:36:36.000 They're coming up with less innovative ideas.
00:36:39.000 Sorry, ladies, you'd rather be home with your kids at her piano recital than you would staying all night at work.
00:36:45.000 I like that, by the way.
00:36:46.000 I want you to stay with the kids.
00:36:48.000 I'm happy to do an all-nighter.
00:36:50.000 I don't want women doing all-nighters, and they tend not to.
00:36:52.000 That's why they earn less.
00:36:54.000 Great book called Why Men Earn More.
00:36:57.000 And he had to add the subhead.
00:36:59.000 And what we can do to change it.
00:37:00.000 So he didn't get in too much trouble.
00:37:01.000 But he basically pointed out that when women don't have kids and they don't have families, like when they're young, they make more money than men.
00:37:09.000 Then they tend to put family above work and they end up making less money.
00:37:13.000 That's clearly not proof that sexism is a problem.
00:37:17.000 And to say Chinese people are doing well because we're less racist puts so much onus on racism.
00:37:24.000 If I was black and everyone talked about how racism is crippling blacks and it's so evil, I would be embarrassed because you're making them sound totally weak.
00:37:34.000 I'm fat and ugly and I live in New York City where I get insulted and told to f off every city block.
00:37:41.000 You know how many hours a night I spend crying about it?
00:37:44.000 Zero.
00:37:45.000 Okay, maybe five minutes in the shower.
00:37:47.000 Then I get it out of my system.
00:37:49.000 But I'm not going to sit there and explain all my failures based on someone else's opinion of me.
00:37:54.000 That's juvenile and weak.
00:37:57.000 All right, go ahead.
00:37:59.000 Whites and white high school dropouts, which prior to that time period was not the case.
00:38:04.000 Plus, in 1965, the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act eliminated a huge bias in favor of European immigrants and drove in a new group of highly selected, highly educated Asian immigrants.
00:38:16.000 For example, 51% of Chinese immigrants to the U.S. are college graduates compared to only 4% of adults in China.
00:38:23.000 Now, you may be thinking, but Lily, what's wrong with believing all Asian Americans are hardworking, highly educated, and flush weak cash?
00:38:32.000 Isn't that a good thing?
00:38:34.000 Well, no, not really.
00:38:36.000 Believing all Asian Americans are rich is just as bad as believing that Deb Patel has a lot of people.
00:38:44.000 That's a lot.
00:38:45.000 Well, certain stereotypes may not seem all that bad on the surface, but the rich Asian American myth actually erases the experiences of a large part of the Asian American community.
00:38:54.000 That's a fact.
00:38:55.000 It allows people to ignore the economic disparities faced by other groups.
00:38:58.000 I'm sorry, this is getting pedantic.
00:38:59.000 I'm Sorry to subject you to this.
00:39:01.000 But no one thinks all of this is this.
00:39:06.000 But we have noticed a pattern that Asian Americans generally tend to disproportionately make more loot.
00:39:15.000 That's just a fact.
00:39:16.000 You can find that.
00:39:17.000 Go look up ethnic groups on Wikipedia and you'll see the most successful ones.
00:39:21.000 And you, my dear, are at the top.
00:39:25.000 No one takes that stereotype and enforces it on everything.
00:39:28.000 I don't know where you got this idea that we notice that the Irish tend to get grumpy on whiskey and we think 100% of Irish, no possible exceptions, get grumpy and violent when they have whiskey.
00:39:41.000 What are you basing that on?
00:39:43.000 For you to think that Chinese Americans are successful totally trivializes all poor Chinese people.
00:39:50.000 You don't think we know that poor Chinese people exist?
00:39:53.000 You don't think we've been to Chinatown and seen a giant barrel of frogs?
00:39:57.000 Some woman with dirty feet sifting through them?
00:39:59.000 We're aware of poor Chinese.
00:40:02.000 Go ahead.
00:40:03.000 Vietnamese and Cambodians.
00:40:05.000 Plus, lumping in all these different ethnicities into one broadcast.
00:40:08.000 You're the one who did that.
00:40:10.000 You're the one who put Mindy Kaling at the beginning.
00:40:12.000 Mind the market between very different ethnic groups.
00:40:14.000 Who doesn't love being erased?
00:40:16.000 So with the help of the model minority myth, it becomes easy to ignore the fact that in New York City alone, more Asian Americans live below the poverty line than any other minority at 27%.
00:40:27.000 Oh God, you f โ‡ ers are so bad at facts.
00:40:30.000 Are they lying or are they lazy?
00:40:32.000 That's one thing I'll never figure out about these shows, these little informative videos.
00:40:38.000 27% of Asians in NYC live below the poverty line because they're all new immigrants.
00:40:44.000 Manhattan is presently being taken over by the Chinese.
00:40:48.000 They are a wildly disproportionate number of the immigrants.
00:40:52.000 We've got white flight in a lot of New York.
00:40:55.000 We also have, I don't know, yellow in-flight.
00:40:59.000 We have a massive amount of Chinese immigrants coming in.
00:41:02.000 Everyone who has $50,000 cash in China, which out of a billion people tends to be quite a few, gets over here.
00:41:08.000 Half the time it's loans, half the time they've got to pay it back to snakeheads.
00:41:11.000 So you have essentially Ellis Island in Manhattan, a Chinese Ellis Island, and it's full of new immigrants.
00:41:18.000 These immigrants come here, work in Chinatown mostly.
00:41:21.000 They've taken over the five points.
00:41:23.000 Remember Bill the Butcher?
00:41:24.000 All Chinatown, all the lower Manhattan is becoming Chinese.
00:41:27.000 We only really have Wall Street left, and it's being pushed out by the yellow gentrification of New York.
00:41:34.000 And then these people generate income, and they move out to Queens, they move out to the suburbs, they move out to Long Island.
00:41:40.000 And that 27% is about to become middle class and upper middle class.
00:41:45.000 So you're taking a strange little sample of new immigrants and pretending that the stats on Asian Americans aren't true because you found some poor ones.
00:41:54.000 I thought you Chinese people were supposed to be smart.
00:41:57.000 Go ahead.
00:41:58.000 But they receive less than 1% in state funding.
00:42:01.000 Because all Asians are funding.
00:42:03.000 Because they're illegal, you stupid bitch.
00:42:05.000 Great.
00:42:06.000 Poor Asian Americans are being seriously overlooked when it comes to things like government funding and aid for seniors, which is a double tragedy since we all know that Asian grandmas are stylish as f โ‡ .
00:42:17.000 Back to you, Francesca.
00:42:19.000 Look, we have to face the fact that all stereotypes are harmful, even the ones that seem good on the surface.
00:42:25.000 What if they're taking it?
00:42:25.000 Because the rich Asian stereotype leads to a lack of visibility for the issues that poor Asian Americans face.
00:42:31.000 And because they're ignored, this ridiculous cycle is allowed to continue.
00:42:35.000 So no, not all Asian Americans are rich.
00:42:37.000 And just because some are, we get to pretend like racial, gender, and economic disparities don't exist.
00:42:44.000 Sorry, not sorry.
00:42:45.000 Special thanks to Lily Doo for helping out this week.
00:42:48.000 Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time on Decoded.
00:42:50.000 Painful.
00:42:51.000 I'm impressed.
00:42:52.000 Pause it.
00:42:52.000 I'm impressed with myself that I made it through that episode of Decoded.
00:42:56.000 And the basic gist of it is, I know that you've noticed these patterns and I know they're factually true.
00:43:02.000 I also have noticed that they're positive patterns you've noticed.
00:43:06.000 But don't notice them because they make anecdotal evidence feel uncomfortable.
00:43:11.000 Okay, so be less smart and learn less things.
00:43:15.000 Got it.
00:43:16.000 Thanks dummies.
00:43:22.000 Unbelievable.
00:43:23.000 There are still miracles going on.
00:43:26.000 You know, you read the Bible and you get kind of jealous because you go, why were there only miracles in that tiny little moment of time?
00:43:31.000 I want miracles today.
00:43:33.000 I want a 450-pound woman to magically lose the weight.
00:43:38.000 And it happened.
00:43:39.000 Here we have footage, and I don't think it's CGI.
00:43:41.000 You can tell it's real.
00:43:43.000 Here we have footage of a Nigerian Christian pastor in the name of Jesus helping this woman lose the weight.
00:43:51.000 And you can see it happen live.
00:43:53.000 I'm not going to lie to you.
00:43:54.000 You can see this with your own eyes.
00:43:56.000 Watch this miracle happen.
00:43:59.000 That spirit that reduces weights.
00:44:01.000 Reduces weight.
00:44:02.000 Reduce our weight.
00:44:03.000 Reduce our weight!
00:44:09.000 Look at this!
00:44:10.000 Reduce our way!
00:44:21.000 In the name of Jesus!
00:44:23.000 Reduce our way!
00:44:27.000 Look at those legs move!
00:44:28.000 Time to do worse.
00:44:33.000 Scholarship.
00:44:35.000 Let's get some knit็ก Herbert in front of him.
00:44:40.000 What does he say?
00:44:42.000 Now they have to get her up.
00:44:43.000 Rise up and walk it, Jesus.
00:44:47.000 Look at that.
00:44:51.000 Unbelievable.
00:44:53.000 Look at her.
00:44:54.000 That woman, when she was lying down, she looked like she weighed 450 pounds.
00:45:00.000 Now that she's walking, she does not look an ounce over 449 pounds.
