On this week's episode of Drunk Tank, the boys discuss Christmas, the mayor of Boston hates white people, and why it's wrong to hate LeBron James. Plus, a special Christmas edition of the Drunk Tank featuring special guest, comedian Nick Paolo.
00:08:29.000It's involuntary giving the middle finger and an entire phrase.
00:08:33.000I knew a kid who had Tourette's, and I had the luxury, just go with me for a second here.
00:08:38.000I had the luxury of going to grade school with him.
00:08:40.000So I watched his Tourette's evolve from where he was in grade school, and it was, you know, he'd be writing, he'd be doing, he'd be taking an exam and he'd go, that was it.
00:08:47.000And then it translated to grabbing my eighth grade girlfriend's ass.
00:08:54.000It's like a body cavity search, and he said that I don't think that's involuntary, like you have to set a date in your calendar.
00:09:00.000So just to be clear, Tourette's is obviously a thing.
00:09:04.000Only 10% of people have Tourette's, blurred out obscenities.
00:09:06.000I don't know the rate on them actually like doing the up yours motion or hailing Hitler as part of...
00:09:12.000But it just seems different Tourette's.
00:09:16.000It seemed performative to me, and I could be 100% wrong.
00:09:19.000And she's been doing it for a long time, so she's playing long ball.
00:09:21.000I don't doubt that she has Tourette's maybe, but really it was the flicking people off.
00:09:27.000I was like, I can understand the cussing involuntary and like tics and things like that, but like to form the motion to like, yes, middle finger, and it's more like this for the rest of it.
00:09:36.000I'm like, yeah, but that seems uncoordinated.
00:12:07.000My dad kind of saw him for a while and was like, what's going to happen here?
00:12:11.000You know, at the purple suit store or wherever they were.
00:12:13.000And he looked around and was like, and my dad was like, oh no.
00:12:18.000They seemed to understand, but I don't know.
00:12:20.000He probably got his ass kicked in the parking lot.
00:12:24.000Speaking of someone who deserves one, LeBron James this week.
00:12:28.000I want to offer a solution to you with this segment, because the segment is a little childish, but we all are.
00:12:36.000And he found a whole new way, LeBron James, to completely disrespect the country that has made him a multi-millionaire.
00:12:43.000And I can't believe we haven't done this yet.
00:12:46.000YouTube was very selective when we did one on Don Lemon a long time ago.
00:12:49.000And He was attending his son's game at USC, and far beyond Colin Kaepernick comparing himself to the slaves of Roots for a $40 million signing bonus, LeBron refused to even acknowledge the flag or the national anthem.
00:14:03.000He knows the rhythm of the game when they're standing out there.
00:14:07.000And everybody just happens to have their hands on their hearts and they start to escort you to the seat, you go, wait a second, the National Anthem is playing, let me focus.
00:14:14.000Instead of going in, walking to your seat and kind of looking around, sitting down, not even acknowledging what's going on, it's just disrespectful.
00:14:22.000And he can, of course, he can be disrespectful all he wants, he just, the problem is he can't be the victim when you have to deal with backlash.
00:14:26.000So that's LeBron pretending that America sucks.
00:14:30.000Here's LeBron James pretending to read.
00:14:33.000You're holding the autobiography of Malcolm X along with Alex Haley.
00:14:36.000I don't know how far you are into the book, but what's your biggest takeaway so far?
00:14:40.000I kind of just started a couple days ago.
00:19:28.000He's saying, oh yeah, he should educate himself.
00:19:32.000Just for some context, to put a finer point on it, and all references are available at loudearthcradder.com because you'll think that this isn't real.
00:22:23.000Here's the UFC fighter, Colby Covington, who, by the way, I don't know, like, I get that he's also disingenuous.
00:22:28.000But the reason that he can say this is because he's tapping into something where people, society at large, are tired of the LeBrons of the world.
00:22:35.000Here is Colby Covington calling out LeBron James' disrespect for the United States of America in a very silly outfit.
00:22:42.000You hate America so much and you don't like this country that gave you a billion dollars?
00:23:31.000So maybe he'll be mad that I say this, because now they are fine.
00:23:34.000He just was at a press conference and said, LeBron knows what he did, and next time that I see him, you know, we'll have to solve the issue.
00:23:55.000Do you have any idea what a professional fighter does to LeBron James?
00:23:58.000He folds him backwards and puts him in a locker.
00:24:03.000So apparently the United States is so racist that a black kid born into poverty with a 16-year-old single mother can earn $430 million playing basketball, $900 million in endorsement deals, business ventures like Pepsi, Walmart, Nike, also obviously racist companies, you know, over a billion dollars if you add up the revenue.
00:24:26.000Now, it's possible that he spends all of it in the next four months.
00:24:31.000Half of it right up his nose, am I right?
00:24:33.000You think you can make that kind of money in China being dumb as a bag of hammers?
00:25:28.000How about if every single one of you right now, every single person who could possibly actually consider the issue at hand of LeBron being racist and hating this country while simping for China, How about you just treat him like the ungrateful piece of shit that he is?
00:25:45.000Never buy, watch, support anything relating to him ever again.
00:25:49.000What if the NBA Finals were playing and he was in that game and was playing on a Jumbotron in your yard, you wouldn't even lift the shade?
00:25:57.000It's like the ghosts in Super Mario World.
00:25:59.000You turn your back on them, and they start, but you know, it's a reverse ghost.
00:26:01.000You turn your back, they'll disappear.
00:26:03.000I understand that the ghosts in Super Mario World would chase you if you turned your back, so it was a bad analogy on me.
00:27:25.000So, and starting today, every purchase at credashop.com, if you want to buy some things for Christmas, and if you don't, that's fine, gets you entered to win a Blackstone grill.
00:28:54.000They don't want you to understand that they want your money.
00:28:57.000But they don't want your views, your opinions.
00:29:00.000They want your views as far as eyeballs and ears to generate ad revenue for them for companies like Viacom and Turner and NBCUniversal and ABC, all of that.
00:29:09.000But they don't want your opinions to be permitted on the platform because those advertisers don't like your opinions.
00:29:14.000You see it out in the open with Twitter.
00:29:15.000YouTube tries to claim that it's not happening.
00:30:03.000We limit some of our more powerful features to channels who have built and maintained a positive channel history, who have provided, or who have provided verification.
00:30:20.000Because on a pound-for-pound basis, no channels performed better than we did, as far as people getting the kind of content that they wanted.
00:30:26.000So YouTube says, no, no, we consider it not to be a positive channel history, so we're going to remove your ability to reach people who have subscribed to you.
00:30:33.000So by the way, if you're on YouTube right now, make sure you hit the notification bell.
00:30:37.000Obviously, Rumble is our priority, but hey, we want to be a thorn in their side, so just go and check it yourself.
00:30:42.000They also write, as of now, your channel doesn't have sufficient channel history.
00:32:54.000We've lost our privilege to, I quote, get higher daily limits for live stream shorts, video uploads, to embed live streams, to pin comments, to add external links to your video descriptions.
00:33:03.000They have limited, and by the way, they've limited our daily reach.
00:33:06.000So again, it's, well, you're not banned.
00:33:52.000Then they say, well, we don't want you to be able to do that either, so we're just going to shut off your reach to anyone so that you can't gain any new viewers.
00:34:01.000Nothing about this, nothing about this constitutes Being a platform, which is the umbrella of the law under which they are protected.
00:34:12.000And every single time those emails come in because you send them to me and we look at them and they say, you may have violated our community guidelines.
00:34:18.000They sometimes say in this vague kind of way, but they never give you time codes.
00:34:48.000YouTube won't provide us with specifics, and since they haven't provided us with specifics behind the strikes, we can only assume at this point that beyond demonetization, now you won't be able to enjoy these privileges of basic channels, by the way, other channels that aren't monetized.
00:35:02.000In other words, if you were to simply create a YouTube channel right now, you would have more privileges than what we've built.
00:35:21.000This is why we re-platformed Alex Jones.
00:35:23.000This is why we want to make sure that you guys know about Nick DiPaolo, the OG, who by the way has been banned from so many places, I've lost count, for these kinds of views.
00:35:30.000And the difference is, the important thing to keep in mind is, these are your views.
00:35:38.000They want you to feel as though there are far more Americans out there who believe that our government is transparent and we host the freest and fairest elections of all time.
00:35:48.000There are far more Americans, and you're an outlier, there are far more Americans out there who believe that there's been nothing No one has run afoul of the FDA laws or skirted them or reduced liability.
00:35:59.000We haven't seen any complications associated with the mRNA injections and heart complications, particularly with young men.
00:36:04.000They want you to feel like you're an outlier.
00:36:07.000Everyone else out there is on board with kneeling for the anthem, like LeBron.
00:36:11.000If you think differently, you're a racist.
00:36:13.000Colin Kaepernick, everyone agrees with him, you're a racist.
00:37:02.000Let me give you an example of just some some things that we How much, if you add this up across all other right-leaning channels, you know, if you add this up across, and I don't know how many there are, but certainly people who are willing to take risks.
00:38:11.000We've made up for it and we're not beholden to advertisers.
00:38:14.000The issue is, we're not, conservatives are being forbidden, anyone who's right, from reaching new people because they know that if people on the right reach new people, we win.
00:38:40.000The disconnect is they need the money of the people, of the plibs.
00:38:45.000They need your money, but they want to make sure that your points of view are not permitted, and so they go after people who are at the top of that food chain.
00:39:00.0002019, Project Veritas verified that our show was completely throttled manually by Facebook.
00:39:04.000They actually entered in code on Facebook so that our page wouldn't reach people.
00:39:09.000So, and that's overlay F, I believe, that you have there.
00:39:12.000And this is from The Insider, it said, I would see this appear on several different conservative pages.
00:39:19.000And I saw it on Steven Crowder's page, as well as The Daily Caller's page, that there were, and we saw this, you can see there was a video, all of the code that they baked in on Facebook.
00:39:27.000So it's happened on Facebook, it's happened on YouTube, it's happened on Google.
00:39:31.000We've been banned from TikTok, which is kind of funny.
00:39:33.000And then, of course, it happens on Instagram.
00:39:39.000You have some comedians out there who people say, oh, they're ruthless.
00:39:41.000He was getting banned from comedy clubs, and I think it's fine now, it's not a sore spot, because he was saying the things that now other people are saying and trying to sell you that they took the risk.
00:40:58.000Like, if we were breaking the law and saying something that was just horrendous and causing somebody to go to somebody else's house and saying, hey, go do this to this person, but we're not doing that.
00:41:23.000No, it was a game where a gay man would lay down with a curtain, and the man behind him would insert something into it, and he would play, and he would have to guess if it's a dick or dildo.
00:41:30.000By the way, spoiler alert, it's always dick!
00:41:38.000If these guys would just go out there and be neutral and tell advertisers to go screw themselves because, listen, if those advertisers go away, fine, there's plenty that want to reach the other half of Americans that don't share that viewpoint.
00:41:50.000Let other advertisers come into the marketplace.
00:41:53.000We wouldn't have needed Elon Musk to come in and buy Twitter, convert it into X, and then tell Bob Iger to go F himself.
00:42:05.000They said, come and have your channel here, have your audience here, share your viewpoint, and then they changed the game for so many people.
00:42:14.000And thank God places like Rumble exist, because if it didn't exist right now, where would we be?
00:42:45.000I don't care enough about that anymore.
00:42:46.000If they're gonna throttle it, then okay, well then fine.
00:42:47.000You guys are enough, and you know what?
00:42:48.000You guys can be the people who go out and let people know.
00:42:50.000Either we create something that you want to watch, or you don't, and they want to ensure that you don't see it, so it's incumbent upon us to make something worthwhile, and you guys let us know, and then you can let other people know.
00:43:45.000Well, right now they... The problem is they're still in that YouTube is starting to make money, but they were losing money for a very long time.
00:43:51.000I mean, Twitter loses money year over year.
00:44:04.000These companies are more powerful than national governments have ever been in the past, and they have the stamp of approval, and they work hand-in-hand with the intelligence agencies.
00:48:57.000Which brings us to, I guess, White Black Edition of, uh, Rules for Thee and Not for Me.
00:49:08.000All right, so we're going to do this in reverse a little bit.
00:49:10.000Let's set up from the perspective of, you know, Method Act here, President Gay considers, okay, rules for me, rules for President Gay, and how these don't apply to you.
00:49:17.000This is the issue of elites in power and people who are supposedly marginalized and oppressed groups, which include the likes of President Gay and LeBron James.
00:49:25.000So, when it comes to the plagiarism, of course she gets a pass, right?
00:49:30.000The Harvard Corporation said, the university became aware in late October of allegations regarding three articles.
00:49:38.000On December 9th, the Fellowes reviewed the results, which revealed a few instances of inadequate citation.
00:49:48.000President Gay is proactively requesting for corrections in two articles to insert citations and quotation marks that were omitted from the original publications.
00:50:50.000When you think about the fact that Harvard, this nation's oldest university, had about a 370 year explicit racial quota of only hiring white men to be the president, it's laughable to think that the first ever black woman following that unbroken line of white racial quotas is the one who's unqualified.
00:51:13.000I mean, this is kind of the beauty of how racism works.
00:51:16.000Well, she did fill the pocket knife Swiss Army ring toss quota.
00:52:04.000And then you benefit from the fact that these people said, ah, you know what, okay, there was a period of entry and, you know, we created this school and, hey, cool, now let's... But now you've gone too far.
00:53:22.000But a lot of prominent figures, by the way, who've been accused, and when I say accused, I mean, there's a lot of verified evidence of plagiarism, like Martin Luther King Jr., people like Xi Jinping.
00:53:31.000If you'd like us to do a segment on just famous plagiarists.
00:53:34.000I just didn't want to do that today because a lot of people would get upset without the whole context.
00:53:38.000Yeah, and just so you're like, oh, she made, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:53:50.000No but months and months and months and you have somebody reviewing it before it goes before a committee and then that committee comes back and says no it's not good enough.
00:55:40.000You both came up through Boston, obviously, and my point is, you are the guy, some people think Bill is a funny guy, but Ruthless defines Nick.
00:55:50.000I left the Met, we had a little text fight, probably a year ago, and I made the crazy statement of saying, well, a lot of our social problems in this country stem from the dissolution of the African American family.
00:57:22.000And you can see an episode where Bill Burr, very, very funny guy, was there.
00:57:26.000And was, I would say in that episode, lost in tall weeds.
00:57:29.000Now, people develop, but before that, it's almost like a moment that you can look back and see it was more observational, wasn't nearly as kind of hard-hitting as it became, and I think a big part of a lot of comics in Boston, they're Nick DiPaolo babies!
00:57:41.000And they take it and they soften it a little bit so they can appear to be ruthless to a more mainstream audience, as opposed to Nick, who literally just says anything that comes to his head like he has fake Tourette's, but he's been doing it for years!
00:58:35.000Nick, Joe Rogan, Bill Burr, Patricio Sike, Dane Cook, before Dennis Leary.
00:58:40.000Stephen Wright, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien.
00:58:43.000A lot of people came up through Boston, so it's not crazy.
00:58:46.000It's like being a football player from Texas.
00:58:48.000It's not crazy to think that people lift, not just material, but lift points of view and attitude.
00:58:54.000And I'm not even accusing him of that.
00:58:55.000I'm just saying he's, and Billy, I say he's more liberal than he leads on, but when I say liberal in a good way, even when we used to argue at the Comedy Cellar table, he, kind of old school liberal, would try to look at both sides.
00:59:15.000I think it's not just spending time in Hollywood, it's if you want to be a part of Hollywood.
00:59:20.000I mean, you have people who go and reject it, and then you have people who want to be a part of that club.
00:59:24.000I think that's what determines it, because you see A-list actors walking away, and you see people saying, no, I want to be in this club, and that's what allows you to kind of be molded and changed.
00:59:52.000So the rules for you, can you plagiarize like the president in Harvard?
00:59:57.000No, here's the handbook for Harvard students on plagiarism and even improper attribution.
01:00:03.000So students who for whatever reason, like perhaps being a diversity president... Oops.
01:00:08.000Submit work either not their own or without clear attribution to its sources will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including requirement to withdraw from the college.
01:00:21.000Their honor code also prohibits cheating, stating, Members of the Harvard College community commit themselves to producing academic work Of integrity.
01:00:30.000That is, work that adheres to the scholarly and intellectual standards of accurate attribution of sources, appropriate collection and use of data, and transparent acknowledgement of the contribution of others to their ideas, discoveries, interpretations, and conclusions.
01:00:48.000Just to give you some context, we right here at this show, making all the references every day available at louderwithcrowder.com like a bibliography, and the link is in the description, Do more due diligence than the president of Harvard.
01:04:34.000She also, or I should say Harvard rather, rescinded admission to 12 students, or I believe it's 10, sorry, it was initially reported as 12 and 10, based on private group chats.
01:05:33.000Today, Jews, you are no longer useful because we have President Gay who looks like a Guess Who character and she matches up with what we need to be promoting today.
01:05:41.000Now, you know what doesn't exist on this hierarchy at all?
01:05:47.000This is something that people will say.
01:05:49.000They'll say, oh, the First Amendment, talking about YouTube and talking about what's going on on campus, will say the First Amendment just prevents the government from silencing you.
01:06:09.000Government serves only- Do you forego those rights because you happen to be on a campus who, by the way, receives massive amounts of government funding, would not exist if not for government funding?
01:06:17.000The same thing applies to YouTube, who would not exist- YouTube, Google, Facebook- if not for the massive amounts of tax breaks they receive from favorable government policies.
01:06:50.000I do, but I still don't believe that property rights, where this is a school where you have accepted someone through the admission process, allows you to forbid them from, not civil rights, basic human rights to speech.
01:07:25.000If you don't overcharge and make something unaffordable so that Uncle Sam fills in the gap, Then you fail to compete!
01:07:32.000Anytime government steps in, that's when you end up with a monopoly, duopoly, tripopoly, or the land of higher education.
01:07:38.000You can apply the same thing, hey, let's look at the companies that receive, or industries that receive the most amount of government support and intervention.
01:07:46.000Insurance companies, health insurance, you a big fan?
01:07:48.000Ooh, ooh, they were just, they were rubbing their grubby paws in anticipation of Obamacare.
01:08:02.000And in a lot of these sectors, you forego your basic human rights.
01:08:06.000Understand the difference between a civil right and a human right.
01:08:09.000A human right is predicated in... people use the term natural rights and then the left will accuse you of being racist if you use that term.
01:08:16.000No, what we mean is government serves to recognize and protect your rights.
01:08:22.000It doesn't grant you the right to speak.
01:08:24.000You were born with the right to speak.
01:08:32.000For some reason, the institutions of higher learning that are really supposed to be a place to, really to undergird the understanding of basic human rights, for some reason, in those places you forfeit.
