00:03:00.000 It's about to feel stupid. 0.99

00:03:03.000 ...the story that was being told about... ...their coverage. 0.97

00:03:07.000 It's what... You see the man up there?

00:03:14.000 Susan was just... 0.99

00:03:16.000 Why?

00:03:18.000 I don't know.

00:03:34.000 ♪ ♪

00:05:14.000 ♪ Hmm.

00:05:25.000 A little hot.

00:05:26.000 Everything's going to taste like rubber for a little while.

00:05:28.000 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.

00:05:33.000 Aww.

00:05:33.000 So I'm talking like Brian Stelter.

00:05:35.000 You poor thing.

00:05:36.000 So, uh... That accent's coming up, isn't it?

00:05:39.000 We have a lot to, yes, we have a lot to get to today.

00:05:41.000 We're going to, of course, Black History Month.

00:05:43.000 We've always honored that here at Loud Earth Crowder.

00:05:45.000 We honor Black History Facts.

00:05:46.000 We honor it, really, I would say, more reverentially than most programs.

00:05:52.000 And ironically, it coincides right now with the left being more blatantly racist out in the open than I think They intend to be.

00:06:02.000 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.

00:06:08.000 And, you know, wrapping this all up in a nice bow.

00:06:11.000 It's always sort of ironic to me when people on the left say, well, don't see anyone through a group.

00:06:16.000 Let's not group people together.

00:06:19.000 What?

00:06:21.000 Well, unless you're dividing them.

00:06:22.000 Right, yes, exactly.

00:06:23.000 Or promoting one group over the other.

00:06:25.000 Right, exactly. 0.99

00:06:26.000 It depends on which it's like, well, yesterday you were black and we needed you to burn down a few buildings. 1.00

00:06:30.000 Today we need a mail to set the Penn State swimming records. 0.96

00:06:36.000 So you've served your purpose.

00:06:39.000 By the way, if we're—and who knows, because we're going to be hitting some third rails today.

00:06:43.000 Oh boy.

00:06:44.000 We hit third rails every day.

00:06:45.000 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.

00:06:53.000 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.

00:06:59.000 Eastern.

00:07:00.000 I know, sometimes we start—10 a.m.

00:07:02.000 means, like, 10-15.

00:07:03.000 But that's an old comedy club rule.

00:07:04.000 We start a little late because you guys keep funneling in.

00:07:06.000 If you're mad at us...

00:07:08.000 Don't tune in at 10.15.

00:07:10.000 Blame comedy.

00:07:11.000 It's your fault.

00:07:12.000 And today we'll be playing newest gender pronouns.

00:07:14.000 I really do have the lisp in the tongue.

00:07:16.000 It's a little- It's a lisp in the tongue.

00:07:17.000 You should just lean into it.

00:07:18.000 It's like I was stung by bees, like Macaulay Culkin in My Girl. 0.94

00:07:21.000 Are you gonna die on show? 0.96

00:07:22.000 Get my glasses! 1.00

00:07:24.000 You don't wear glasses.

00:07:25.000 And I also have a question for you.

00:07:27.000 What do you know about the model minority theory?

00:07:31.000 We're going to be talking about that.

00:07:32.000 Comment below.

00:07:33.000 Before you watch it, it's always interesting for us to see what you know, and people will often comment.

00:07:37.000 The best thing is to comment, and then comment below your comment once you watch the segment and see if your opinion has changed.

00:07:42.000 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.

00:07:49.000 North Carolina.

00:07:50.000 The good one?

00:07:51.000 I don't know.

00:07:52.000 Is there a good one?

00:07:53.000 In my mind, I'm gone to one of the Carolinas.

00:07:56.000 So before we move on, we have Gerald A. here.

00:08:00.000 The blow-up doll is in repair.

00:08:01.000 How are you?

00:08:02.000 I'm doing well.

00:08:03.000 That blow-up doll is dead, Steven. 1.00

00:08:04.000 I killed it. 0.99

00:08:04.000 No he's not. 0.99

00:08:05.000 You can't kill an inanimate object.

00:08:06.000 Yes you can.

00:08:07.000 But its spirit lives on.

00:08:08.000 How are you?

00:08:09.000 I'm okay.

00:08:09.000 I haven't slept.

00:08:10.000 Really?

00:08:10.000 It happens every now and then.

00:08:12.000 Why?

00:08:12.000 I don't know.

00:08:13.000 No?

00:08:13.000 I have no idea why.

00:08:14.000 I think I was, uh, you know, I have a checkup today.

00:08:17.000 Uh-huh.

00:08:17.000 So, you know, I get a little nervous when you have your little checkups.

00:08:20.000 You get nervous for a checkup?

00:08:21.000 Well, I just want to make sure that I beat the test.

00:08:23.000 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.

00:08:28.000 Just so, we have announcements coming up.

00:08:30.000 Go to lottowithcrowder.com slash tour.

00:08:32.000 I am going to be back on the road with this Gentlemen, doing stand-up now, first time since the pandemic started.

00:08:38.000 Do you have the overlay there?

00:08:40.000 The next show we do together is March 26 at the Victoria Theatre in Evansville, Indiana.

00:08:45.000 You can go buy the tickets, and we have a few more dates that'll be coming up.

00:08:48.000 Probably about five dates this spring.

00:08:50.000 Dave Landa, how are you, sir?

00:08:51.000 Ahoy! 0.99

00:08:52.000 Good, and this weekend, the Denver Improv?

00:08:54.000 I don't know, I have a hemorrhoid. 0.96

00:08:56.000 It's ridiculous. 0.83

00:08:56.000 I've never had one. 0.83

00:08:59.000 Dave, we're live.

00:09:01.000 I thought you were sitting a little taller.

00:09:02.000 It's the inner tube.

00:09:03.000 No, I'm not going to use a donut.

00:09:05.000 I'm going to take the pain.

00:09:06.000 Okay.

00:09:07.000 I don't think so.

00:09:08.000 Take the pain.

00:09:08.000 I just didn't want to look at that in a mirror.

00:09:10.000 I've never done it.

00:09:11.000 I have no idea what Tokunawa's looking at.

00:09:13.000 He's looking down.

00:09:13.000 What are you looking at?

00:09:14.000 Your sub?

00:09:15.000 Have you had a hemorrhoid?

00:09:15.000 He's looking down like this the entire time.

00:09:17.000 Maybe he's got a hemorrhoid, too.

00:09:18.000 He could have a hemorrhoid.

00:09:20.000 I don't really think that a physical examination through his pants would help.

00:09:25.000 What do you think?

00:09:25.000 You know we're going to be talking about Asians today there, Tokunawa?

00:09:27.000 A walnut.

00:09:28.000 Yeah?

00:09:29.000 You excited about it?

00:09:30.000 Really excited.

00:09:30.000 Yeah, you sound it.

00:09:32.000 Yeah.

00:09:32.000 Hey, by the way, did you know this?

00:09:34.000 Did you know Kamala Harris?

00:09:36.000 Did you know she's the first Asian vice president? 0.98

00:09:39.000 Right, that's what you're telling me.

00:09:40.000 Do you claim her as one of your own?

00:09:41.000 Absolutely not.

00:09:42.000 Okay.

00:09:43.000 She's a lot of firsts.

00:09:45.000 A lot of first thing vice presidents.

00:09:47.000 She's been rejected by many racial minorities.

00:09:49.000 Yes, there's a lot of people that don't claim her.

00:09:50.000 That's a fact.

00:09:51.000 She's the first president vice president. 0.55

00:09:53.000 Yeah.

00:09:53.000 She's a last round draft pick and then traded.

00:09:57.000 I think that's the first sort of a woman. 0.98

00:09:59.000 Speaking of which, the first thing we are going to get to, your favorite, Stephen Colbert.

00:10:03.000 I love Colbert.

00:10:05.000 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.

00:10:18.000 Well, you know, you would think that Stephen Colbert, being an entertainer, someone who necessarily should defend freedom of speech, of course.

00:10:28.000 Of course, it's a little different when you work for one of the major media conglomerates.

00:10:30.000 Created this cringy, fake ad.

00:10:34.000 I'm sorry, they refer to it as sketch, but fake advertisement condemning Spotify for misinformation.

00:10:40.000 Here we go.

00:10:41.000 We here at Spotify have been under fire recently for amplifying COVID-19 misinformation.

00:10:46.000 In fact, our podcasts have faced so much scrutiny that most people haven't even noticed that we're also spreading misinformation with music!

00:10:55.000 Introducing Spotify Misinformation Playlist!

00:10:58.000 All your favorite songs strategically assembled in an order that results in harmful inaccuracies!

00:11:04.000 You'll get...

00:11:09.000 One day you're only human, the next day she-wolf. 0.85

00:11:13.000 50% homo sapien, 50% lady coyote.

00:11:16.000 Everybody will say, oh my god, who let the dogs out?

00:11:21.000 Our playlists are sure to have you moving your body away from medicine.

00:11:25.000 Did you know the COVID vaccine may cause discoloration of the urine or feces? 0.97

00:11:30.000 And also big balls, testy inflation, swollen nuggets, and gigantic jewels. 0.94

00:11:38.000 After I got vaxxed, my humps hurt! 0.97

00:11:42.000 So log on to Spotify, where we hit shuffle on your understanding of basic facts.

00:11:47.000 This Stephen Colbert comedy sketch has been brought to you by Pfizer.

00:11:49.000 Oh, well that explains it.

00:11:51.000 Yeah.

00:11:52.000 Oh, I do love Mad Libs. 0.87

00:11:53.000 Yes!

00:11:55.000 I think I felt a tumor grow while I was watching that.

00:11:58.000 That's just your hemorrhoid, actually.

00:11:59.000 Oh, is it?

00:11:59.000 Yeah.

00:12:00.000 Is it not just hope?

00:12:01.000 I think it's benign.

00:12:01.000 Oh, that's tame.

00:12:02.000 It's more of a friction burn, really.

00:12:04.000 Boy, I sure hope it's malignant.

00:12:06.000 Uh, here's the thing.

00:12:08.000 Think about this for a second.

00:12:09.000 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.

00:12:22.000 Well, actually for interviewing people.

00:12:24.000 Yes, doctors.

00:12:27.000 Some would say when you have a Ph.D.

00:12:28.000 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.

00:12:35.000 Just because you have a Ph.D.

00:12:37.000 in virology from Harvard does not make you an expert.

00:12:41.000 No, no.

00:12:42.000 I've always said that.

00:12:43.000 No, it's the third string writer at Colbert who should be telling us what to inject into our body.

00:12:48.000 Yes, I really enjoyed that.

00:12:50.000 What was the budget on that?

00:12:52.000 I hope nothing.

00:12:53.000 That was terrific.

00:12:53.000 Yeah.

00:12:54.000 Can you imagine the pitch meeting?

00:12:55.000 It's like, just imagine this.

00:12:56.000 We open on microphones.

00:12:58.000 Yeah.

00:12:59.000 Yeah, because we're talking about podcasts.

00:13:00.000 And then we turn up the volume.

00:13:02.000 And it's like, they go, do you mind if we have someone sit in here?

00:13:04.000 And it's one of those drug representatives.

00:13:06.000 That happened one time when I went to the doctor's office.

00:13:07.000 And they said, by the way, do you mind if we have someone sit in?

00:13:09.000 I go, who?

00:13:10.000 They said, well, she's here for Prilosec. 0.95

00:13:12.000 I was like, what?

00:13:13.000 No.

00:13:13.000 No, she's not.

00:13:14.000 No.

00:13:14.000 And by the way, she's attractive.

00:13:15.000 And you're about to, you know, put a finger up my ass. 1.00

00:13:17.000 No, I don't want her to sit in. 0.99

00:13:20.000 The only misinformation in that is that it was comedy.

00:13:23.000 Yes.

00:13:23.000 I don't understand how in any way what it... Just... My head hurts!

00:13:31.000 This is... Neil Young was anti-establishment.

00:13:34.000 That was the whole thing.

00:13:35.000 Well, back then. 0.99

00:13:36.000 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. 0.99

00:13:42.000 He doesn't care about anything. 0.99

00:13:43.000 You don't walk away.

00:13:44.000 What?

00:13:44.000 The Spotify royalties?

00:13:46.000 He didn't want that?

00:13:47.000 Who cares?

00:13:48.000 The guy's a multi-millionaire.

00:13:49.000 Somebody has a difference of opinion.

00:13:52.000 We have no idea what the actual results of these vaccines and boosters will be in the future.

00:13:58.000 That's a factual statement because there can be no long-term studies.

00:14:03.000 That's true.

00:14:03.000 There are no long-term studies, so we don't know.

00:14:06.000 So talking to different doctors about their opinions is in no way misinformation.

00:14:13.000 The only thing that is misinformation is this guy who used to be, I guess, a comic, telling people that it's misinformation.

00:14:21.000 Right, yeah, but he needs the dollar bills from Pfizer.

00:14:24.000 Big Pfizer.

00:14:25.000 Could be Moderna.

00:14:26.000 It's unlikely.

00:14:27.000 He missed out on the Johnson & Johnson one.

00:14:29.000 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.

00:14:35.000 Is there a way we can do that?

00:14:37.000 We can't afford dancing needle costumes this time.

00:14:40.000 We want to take what we did that upset everybody with the Dancing Eagles and let's build some real momentum with that, okay?

00:14:44.000 Yeah, that'd be good.

00:14:45.000 Just go to Google and take album covers.

00:14:47.000 Right.

00:14:47.000 And see if anything sort of looks like medicine.

00:14:49.000 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.

00:14:58.000 He just referenced Baja Men.

00:15:00.000 I know.

00:15:01.000 The bar is so low.

00:15:03.000 You don't get lower than that.

00:15:04.000 Tomorrow's sketch is going to be a deep dive into the Macarena.

00:15:08.000 Yes.

00:15:09.000 And how it swept the country.

00:15:11.000 Hey kids, have you heard of Mambo No.

00:15:13.000 5?

00:15:14.000 It wasn't me!

00:15:16.000 You're blue, the vaccine is a lie.

00:15:18.000 What about that?

00:15:19.000 Would that be funny?

00:15:20.000 No.

00:15:21.000 It's misinformation.

00:15:22.000 I don't know.

00:15:23.000 Have we just become old and out of touch that this is what the kids find funny?

00:15:29.000 No.

00:15:29.000 I think it's the opposite.

00:15:30.000 I think it's old people watching this and going, That's clever! 1.00

00:15:33.000 I didn't even know they made that song.

00:15:35.000 It is, because they've been trapped inside for two years because every show they watch just terrifies them.

00:15:40.000 It's either Days of Our Lives or this.

00:15:42.000 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.

00:15:50.000 You're gonna watch Colbert!

00:15:51.000 Now!

00:15:52.000 I like how they're like, whatever, boomer.

00:15:54.000 Can you imagine a boomer's life? 0.97

00:15:55.000 It's just watching TV that tells you to buy catheters.

00:15:59.000 That's true.

00:16:00.000 You'll fall down a staircase.

00:16:01.000 You should wear a life alert necklace.

00:16:03.000 You're going to die in the tub. 0.89

00:16:04.000 You're going to catch a vaccine.

00:16:06.000 Every day is just, or you're going to, not a vaccine.

00:16:08.000 You need a vaccine or you catch a virus.

00:16:10.000 Like every day is just terror that you're going to die.

00:16:13.000 Well, they are.

00:16:13.000 Yeah, but you're already so close to death.

00:16:16.000 But you live with the hope that that hover around will get you to the Grand Canyon.

00:16:20.000 It's true.

00:16:21.000 Will that one charge get me from here?

00:16:22.000 Why not live your life the most at that age?

00:16:25.000 Well, you know, because it doesn't sell.

00:16:26.000 You want them in front of the tube.

00:16:28.000 You want every boomer in front of the tube watching your vaccine sketches.

00:16:31.000 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.

00:16:35.000 Because they think Bill Devane's silver dollar says bitcoin.

00:16:39.000 Reverse mortgage, Dave.

00:16:40.000 It's all in reverse mortgage.

00:16:41.000 Yeah, what we do is we give Tom Selleck our house, and he pays us, and then we leave you kids with debt.

00:16:48.000 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.

00:16:56.000 Your father got the myocarditis.

00:16:58.000 I found him in the basement eight days later.

00:17:00.000 But it's better than drinking fish tank cleaner, like our old president said.

00:17:04.000 At least that's what Colbert told me.

00:17:05.000 He said to inject bleach!

00:17:06.000 Yes.

00:17:07.000 Gosh.

00:17:09.000 Okay.

00:17:09.000 Hey, you know what?

00:17:10.000 A little bit of a silver lining here.

00:17:11.000 Let's get a glimmer of light because it is Black History Month! 0.95

00:17:19.000 So, we honor black historical moments in history here.

00:17:23.000 Black History Month.

00:17:24.000 They get a whole month.

00:17:24.000 It's a little, you know.

00:17:26.000 Well, they get a whole month every, well, leap year.

00:17:29.000 But it's the shortest month.

00:17:30.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:17:31.000 Well, every now and then they get a longer month.

00:17:34.000 I mean, come on.

00:17:35.000 We could do better. 0.76

00:17:36.000 I don't, well the gays get a longer month. 1.00

00:17:38.000 They, well... And the blacks get a... They get a lot of extra days. 0.97

00:17:41.000 Here's the thing, who do you think, who do you think signed off on Black History Month, okay?

00:17:45.000 Of course it was a white guy, and why do you think they picked February?

00:17:49.000 Fine, fine, give them February! 0.99

00:17:50.000 God, if only there were like a month that isn't really a month... February!

00:17:54.000 Black History Month!

00:17:54.000 Done!

00:17:55.000 What one is gay history month? 0.96

00:17:57.000 March?

00:17:58.000 July?

00:17:58.000 I have no idea.

00:17:59.000 I just assume it's March.

00:17:59.000 It has to be in a warmer month, obviously, because you can't wear the outfits in February.

00:18:04.000 If you want to parade naked down the street, you need some heat.

00:18:07.000 Chalk sock is not January.

00:18:10.000 Oh, our month is supposed to be February? 0.97

00:18:12.000 Can we give it to the blacks? 0.98

00:18:14.000 I can't wear my leather jeans in this. 0.99

00:18:17.000 We don't like the cold, man!

00:18:19.000 Guess we're at a standstill.

00:18:22.000 So, today we honor specific- We can celebrate safely inside.

00:18:26.000 Yes.

00:18:27.000 Me, I love rockets.

00:18:31.000 Hope you have your inner tube seat.

00:18:32.000 So, we celebrate moments in black Hollywood history.

00:18:36.000 So, a couple of black history facts, and all references are available at lightearthcrider.com.

00:18:40.000 We always provide our references, link in the description.

00:18:42.000 1939, Hattie McDaniel became the first black woman to win an Academy Award for her supporting role in Gone with the Wind.

00:18:49.000 Oh wow, look at that.

00:18:51.000 You have one too, you know the Hollywood.

00:18:52.000 Yes I do.

00:18:52.000 In 1963, Sidney Poitier was the first black man to take home the Oscar for his leading role in Lillies of the Field.

00:19:00.000 They call me Mr. Lillies! 0.99

00:19:02.000 And at a 1960 screening of Psycho, Calvin Watson of Peoria, Illinois was the first black man to yell, BITCH HE GOT A KNIFE! 0.98

00:19:11.000 This is a unique time in history because in honor of Black History Month merging with the Chinese New Year. 0.98

00:19:22.000 They're converging with the Chinese New Year.

00:19:23.000 This is the year of the tiger.

00:19:28.000 Did you know that?

00:19:29.000 It is!

00:19:29.000 So we just put it all together to show the historical interactions between the different cultures over this past year.

00:19:37.000 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.

00:19:48.000 38-year-old Brandon Elliott's under arrest tonight.

00:19:50.000 He's facing assault and hate crime charges.

00:19:52.000 He was released from prison just two years ago after serving a little over a decade for killing his mother.

00:19:57.000 That brutal head-stop attack on a 61-year-old Asian man in Harlem.

00:20:12.000 The suspect arrested is now charged with a hate crime.

00:20:15.000 That victim remains in a coma.

00:20:17.000 I need to review the clips before on air.

00:20:19.000 You didn't tell me that was a white supremacy montage to Survivor.

00:20:22.000 Oh.

00:20:23.000 No, it's terrible.

00:20:24.000 Man.

00:20:24.000 Well, the song was actually on the newscast.

00:20:26.000 That was the weird thing.

00:20:27.000 Yeah, it was.

00:20:27.000 I don't know what they're doing now, and I don't know how they get the copyright.

00:20:30.000 Someone's greasing the palms a little bit.

00:20:32.000 Somebody is.

00:20:32.000 But we're going to have more Black History Month facts for you tomorrow, because it's Black History Month!

00:20:39.000 I think just under a decade is fair for killing your mother. 0.98

00:20:42.000 That's exactly what I was thinking. 0.99

00:20:44.000 You're like, what?

00:20:45.000 Hey, speaking of black and historical artifacts, Whoopi Goldberg.

00:20:51.000 Is, uh... Still alive?

00:20:53.000 Yeah, she was, uh, discussing yesterday... Of Sister Act?

00:20:57.000 Yes.

00:20:57.000 Oh.

00:20:58.000 Both one and two.

00:20:59.000 Back in the habit.

00:21:00.000 Yes.

00:21:01.000 Or as I refer to it, The Better Act.

00:21:03.000 The Better Act.

00:21:04.000 Yeah, The Better Act.

00:21:05.000 I mean, I swear sequels are funnier.

00:21:07.000 Yeah, I know.

00:21:07.000 Especially funnier than one.

00:21:09.000 I mean, it goes Home Alone 2, and then Sister Act 2.

00:21:11.000 Yep.

00:21:11.000 Because at this point, like, oh, how is she going to disguise herself now?

00:21:14.000 I know, it's...

00:21:19.000 Blends in.

00:21:21.000 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?

00:21:27.000 Like, how many choirs have you seen?

00:21:28.000 That's a fair point.

00:21:31.000 Yeah.

00:21:32.000 And if you're gonna hide her, wouldn't you hide her in a choir with more diversity?

00:21:36.000 Exactly.

00:21:37.000 I've never seen a choir of nuns and I was raised Catholic.

00:21:40.000 Well, that's true too.

00:21:41.000 I've never seen them either.

00:21:42.000 That's because they were shooed out by the priest. 0.93

00:21:44.000 Gross! 0.99

00:21:45.000 I gotta be honest, I've never seen a black nun. 0.99

00:21:47.000 I'm just being honest.

00:21:49.000 Well, yeah, a nun, but my point is she didn't have to be a nun.

00:21:51.000 She could have, you know, been at Farrakhan's church.

00:21:52.000 But as far as black nuns, there are none.

00:21:55.000 Oh, Lord. 0.98

00:21:56.000 Dad jokes.

00:21:58.000 Thank you.

00:21:58.000 This is where we are.

00:21:59.000 My dad joke, they've been initiated now with the twins.

00:22:03.000 Yeah.

00:22:03.000 Just turning everything into a song.

00:22:05.000 Maybe keep it to yourself?

00:22:06.000 I will.

00:22:06.000 I don't know.

00:22:08.000 Well, I just haven't seen one.

00:22:09.000 I'm sorry.

00:22:10.000 No, we haven't seen black nuns. 0.73

00:22:12.000 I grew up in Detroit in a Catholic Well, listen, it's a cultural thing. 0.98

00:22:15.000 Many black women, they don't like to fly. 1.00

00:22:18.000 That's true. 0.82

00:22:19.000 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.

00:22:29.000 Whoopi Goldberg said, and this is the theme today, I think I've put my finger on it.

00:22:36.000 Hold on a second, why do they say this is racist on the left?

00:22:41.000 Oh, they have no idea what racism actually is, as seen by Whoopi Goldberg yesterday saying that the holocaust... Let me just be clear.

00:22:54.000 The holocaust was not, in fact, about race. 0.75

00:22:58.000 No, I know you think this is, this is a real clip.

00:23:00.000 A Tennessee school pulled the graphic novel Mouse out of their lessons on the holocaust because it contained some nudity and some bad language.

00:23:10.000 Personally, I'm shocked because, you know, given the story of Maus, I'm surprised that that's what made you uncomfortable.

00:23:19.000 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.

00:23:30.000 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. 0.69

00:23:40.000 Well, this is white people doing it to white people.

00:23:43.000 Y'all go fight amongst yourselves. 0.96

00:23:45.000 The Holocaust isn't about race. 0.50

00:23:49.000 No, it's not about race.

00:23:51.000 But it's not about race.

00:23:52.000 Well, they consider Jews a different race.

00:23:54.000 But it's not about race.

00:23:57.000 It's not about race.

00:23:58.000 What is it about?

00:23:59.000 Because it's about man's inhumanity to man.

00:24:04.000 So first of all, though, let me just jump in here.

00:24:07.000 They're mice.

00:24:08.000 It's not about naked people at all.

00:24:12.000 No.

00:24:13.000 She didn't read it.

00:24:13.000 Well, I don't know if you heard the rest of it.

00:24:15.000 She didn't know what was going on.

00:24:16.000 I mean, this is what happens when you just put five hot flashes at a table in morning TV.

00:24:24.000 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?

00:24:54.000 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.

00:25:09.000 You're Ben Carson.

00:25:10.000 Why would you, why would you align yourself with that?

00:25:13.000 Like I'm going to explain to Bill Barr now, who says there is no systemic racism.

00:25:19.000 Eric Gardner, George Floyd, couldn't breathe.

00:25:22.000 Breonna Taylor, police didn't knock.

00:25:24.000 Philando Castile, he told them, I have a gun.

00:25:27.000 Tamir Rice was 12.

00:25:29.000 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.

00:25:35.000 And the problem I have is the only way to become a good Republican is to become a Democrat, according to the media.

00:25:41.000 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.

00:25:48.000 It's just not intellectually honest.

00:25:52.000 Well, I have to say, let me just say something for poops and giggles.

00:26:00.000 The Republicans have brought this on themselves.

00:26:02.000 They've brought this view of them on themselves.

00:26:08.000 You shouldn't talk about, you know, racism.

00:26:10.000 Well, you should, because we've seen it for four years directed at various people.

00:26:17.000 So here's the thing.

00:26:18.000 Let me make sure that I understand this.

00:26:20.000 Donald Trump, Republicans, Ben Carson. 0.87

00:26:25.000 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.

00:26:35.000 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.

00:26:57.000 You don't know what racism is.

00:27:01.000 That would be the point, right?

00:27:02.000 And she doubled down on it. 0.99

00:27:04.000 I love it.

00:27:04.000 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?

00:27:13.000 So that's not necessarily white.

00:27:14.000 But also, how did Hitler view it? 0.93

00:27:17.000 Because he only had been quoting that the Jews were a race that needed to be wiped out since 1919.

00:27:22.000 It wasn't like the 30s was like an epiphany moment for him. 0.91

00:27:26.000 Is he trying to whoopie wash Hitler? 0.76

00:27:27.000 He's like, I have to do this because of the race of the Jews. 1.00

00:27:30.000 I don't think you mean because of their race.

00:27:33.000 Yes, I do.

00:27:33.000 Don't speak for me.

00:27:34.000 Whoopie does not speak for me.

00:27:36.000 No, I think it's just about human nature.

00:27:38.000 No, it's racism. 0.98

00:27:39.000 I hate the race. 0.96

00:27:40.000 Stop speaking. 0.99

00:27:41.000 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.

00:27:48.000 That was what he just brought to the table.

00:27:49.000 A couple of years past Hitler, you know. 0.85

00:27:51.000 Just to be clear, old blonde-haired blue eyes want you to know Jews aren't white. 0.94

00:27:55.000 I get it, people say... I like the Jesus one, but the rest of them... 0.98

00:27:59.000 Well, actually, Jesus was black, if you understand.

00:28:01.000 But race doesn't matter, doesn't it? 0.98

00:28:03.000 But he was black.

00:28:04.000 No, you're right, though. 0.99

00:28:05.000 It's only black Jews going to heaven. 1.00

00:28:07.000 It was white-on-white crime. 0.88

00:28:08.000 I don't think there was any bigotry involved with the Holocaust.

00:28:11.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:28:12.000 It was just, you know... You know what she fails to point out is the other... She got on the train first. 0.98

00:28:16.000 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. 1.00

00:28:25.000 A little bit, right?

00:28:27.000 Limb-different people were, you know... 0.97

00:28:29.000 Even the guy who basically invented the internet to help beat the Nazis was then chemically castrated for being gay. 0.75

00:28:37.000 By Neil Young? 0.94

00:28:39.000 This is gonna hurt. 0.99

00:28:43.000 I don't want a gay grocer. 1.00

00:28:46.000 This is the issue that is really taking place though. 0.92

00:28:50.000 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.

00:28:55.000 We talked about that yesterday.

00:28:57.000 This is the silver lining.

00:28:59.000 Whoopi Goldberg thought that she, and they tried to save her.

00:29:03.000 She says, it wasn't about race!

00:29:05.000 They're like, ahhh.

00:29:06.000 I mean, if they could back away from that set, you know, but they can't.

00:29:10.000 They can't put wheels on those chairs. 0.98

00:29:12.000 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.

00:29:24.000 What could we all agree upon?

00:29:26.000 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.

00:29:41.000 No, you never will.

00:29:41.000 And by the way, the American Defamation League, Anti-Defamation League, I did that yesterday too.

00:29:45.000 Yeah, well that's a problem.

00:29:46.000 Anti-Defamation League.

00:29:47.000 We don't pay attention to those pro-defamation people. 0.86

00:29:49.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:29:49.000 They changed the definition of racism on their website and actually now it's just white supremacy.

00:29:56.000 It's just white supremacy against people of color.

00:29:59.000 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.

00:30:08.000 You were just saying that this group of people is inferior because of this, because of their race.

00:30:11.000 Well, because they have to change it.

00:30:12.000 Not anymore.

00:30:13.000 Just like the CDC had to change the definition of immunization.

00:30:15.000 Well, you know.

00:30:16.000 Well, it was that before.

00:30:18.000 That's what racism was that we agreed upon, but that's not what it is anymore.

00:30:22.000 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.

00:30:29.000 Right.

00:30:29.000 Stuff like that.

00:30:30.000 You know, everybody kind of didn't like each other even at this time.

00:30:34.000 Yeah.

00:30:34.000 Jews was very, it was very specifically racist.

00:30:37.000 And also, even on that note, Shame on the School.

00:30:40.000 Like, that's a book That I've read that I think is extremely important, and it's written by a Holocaust survivor.

00:30:48.000 Yeah.

00:30:49.000 And it's, you know, it's not as funny as Schindler's List.

00:30:55.000 Not as feel-good.

00:30:56.000 No.

00:30:57.000 It's clever.

00:30:57.000 It's this really great book, if you ever want to even teach your kid about the Holocaust, because it's done with mice.

00:31:04.000 And it's a graphic novel, and it's an excellent book about the Holocaust.

00:31:08.000 It's heartbreaking.

00:31:09.000 Of course.

00:31:10.000 And the fact that you would pull it out.

00:31:11.000 I just don't buy the fact that you're pulling it out because mice are naked in it.

00:31:15.000 When are mice clothed?

00:31:17.000 Well, do you know why they want to pull it out?

00:31:18.000 It's the same reason they want to pull out To Kill a Mockingbird.

00:31:20.000 We'll talk about that tomorrow.

00:31:21.000 Hint, it's not Republicans.

00:31:23.000 It's because if they keep telling children that everything is racist.

00:31:25.000 For example, she used to be a racist as an example. 1.00

00:31:27.000 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?

00:31:34.000 You can say that.

00:31:35.000 There are examples of police brutality, but it's not entirely predicated on race.

00:31:39.000 Sometimes you can find that. 0.99

00:31:40.000 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. 1.00

00:31:51.000 They're like, oh boy, these black people are very explosive! 1.00

00:31:54.000 Then they hosted the Olympics and they lost in the races. 1.00

00:31:57.000 It's because they want two races, white and black. 0.98

00:32:00.000 No, it's because... And that doesn't fit their narrative.

00:32:02.000 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!

00:32:12.000 That's what racism is.

00:32:14.000 Not the fact that, you know, we don't hit a quota at Brown.

00:32:19.000 Not the fact that we don't have enough black people at Yale.

00:32:21.000 Not this idea that the nuclear family, as Black Lives Matter says, is racist. 0.99

00:32:26.000 Oh no, that's silly.

00:32:28.000 There are actual historical examples of racism, but if you point to those, guess what?

00:32:32.000 It makes it really hard to sell kids on the idea that America is systemically racist.

00:32:37.000 So let's get rid of those historical examples so we can rebuild racism in Whoopi's modern image.

00:32:43.000 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.

00:32:48.000 And I was like, wait, what?

00:32:50.000 They pulled it out.

00:32:51.000 Okay.

00:32:51.000 Assuming your argument is correct, Dave, that it was mice that were naked.

00:32:54.000 I haven't read this book.

00:32:56.000 Yes.

00:32:57.000 Let's see some naked mice. 1.00

00:32:58.000 That's one of the creepiest phrases I've ever heard.

00:33:00.000 Well, my goodness.

00:33:01.000 Well, they said there was foul language, too.

00:33:03.000 Do we know of any foul language that they've been able to show?

00:33:05.000 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.

00:33:14.000 Yeah, you don't want to have any swears when you're watching people get gassed.

00:33:18.000 Well, no, you want to focus on what's important in this.

00:33:21.000 Yes.

00:33:21.000 The tragedy of what happened.

00:33:24.000 You don't have to use bad language, you don't have to use nudity if there were other stuff. 1.00

00:33:27.000 The mice thing is stupid. 0.98

00:33:29.000 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. 1.00

00:33:34.000 No!

00:33:35.000 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.

00:33:41.000 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?

00:33:50.000 Because we're never actually allowed to ask this question.

00:33:52.000 It doesn't mean that you support Hitler or the Nazis.

00:33:53.000 You say, okay, they were internationally embarrassed, right, with the Treaty of Versailles.

00:33:56.000 Economically, they were crippled.

00:33:58.000 Okay, and so then race was used, right?

00:34:00.000 It was used as a weapon so that they could create a scapegoat with the Jews. 0.89

00:34:04.000 That's how you got to that point.

00:34:05.000 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.

00:34:13.000 No, instead she says, it's about human nature!

00:34:16.000 Some people are bad!

00:34:17.000 The Holocaust was bad on the way in! 0.99

00:34:19.000 A guy cut in front of me didn't use his turn signal! 0.99

00:34:22.000 It's ridiculous! 0.94

00:34:22.000 It's crazy! 0.94

00:34:23.000 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.

00:34:32.000 Do you see the comparison?

00:34:33.000 Can I do it with members of the view?

00:34:34.000 Yeah, but what's going on right now?

00:34:36.000 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.

00:34:51.000 Yeah, and kids might even read that and go, wait a second, it starts by othering people?

00:34:56.000 It starts by creating two classes of citizens?

00:34:59.000 Something unvaccinated?

00:35:00.000 I don't know.

00:35:01.000 Let me go back to the mice.

00:35:02.000 I mean, here's the thing.

00:35:02.000 This is important.

00:35:03.000 This is why they don't want statues.

00:35:06.000 This is why they don't want certain history taught, because history makes it clear when you understand it contextually.

00:35:11.000 Do we have slavery in the United States?

00:35:12.000 We absolutely did.

00:35:13.000 Did we fight one of the bloodiest wars in history to end slavery?

00:35:14.000 We still do.

00:35:15.000 It's called trafficking. 0.96

00:35:16.000 Yeah, it's called trafficking. 0.99

00:35:18.000 Good point.

00:35:19.000 But now, to her credit, They don't talk about that a whole lot.

00:35:22.000 Whoopi did issue an apology this morning.

00:35:24.000 I want to make it clear.

00:35:25.000 She said, on today's show I said the Holocaust is not about race but about man's inhumanity to man.

00:35:32.000 I stand corrected.

00:35:33.000 She sits corrected.

00:35:36.000 I stand on my walker with the tennis balls corrected.

00:35:40.000 The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waver.

00:35:45.000 I was sitting in my shower chair corrected.

00:35:48.000 My feet hurt.

00:35:50.000 Life alert!

00:35:52.000 Hover around!

00:35:53.000 It's great, child!

00:35:54.000 Give me an example of you supporting the Jewish people around the world, Whoopi.

00:35:59.000 I would like to know what that means!

00:36:01.000 Did you support moving the embassy back to Jerusalem?

00:36:03.000 That's crazy!

00:36:04.000 If you give me a frozen Hot Pocket and I put it under my titty, it gonna be warm.

00:36:12.000 A Whoopi oven!

00:36:14.000 What will I do for a Klondike?

00:36:16.000 Anything!

00:36:17.000 I will literally do anything.

00:36:19.000 Even whitewash the Holocaust, okay? 0.93

00:36:22.000 You don't know me.

00:36:22.000 You don't know how far I will go for a Klondike.

00:36:25.000 You don't know where I've been?

00:36:28.000 Alright.

00:36:31.000 I don't know.

00:36:32.000 You guys let me know.

00:36:32.000 Do you think that's what it is?

00:36:34.000 I want to put a fine point on it.

00:36:35.000 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.

00:36:40.000 That's what I think it is.

00:36:41.000 I think it's deeper.

00:36:42.000 But I think you're right.

00:36:43.000 I'm not saying you're wrong either.

00:36:44.000 But I do.

00:36:45.000 I think it's deeper.

00:36:45.000 I think it's, at this point, it's become, it's not even conspiratorial.

00:36:49.000 It's just obvious.

00:36:50.000 They know what it is and they don't want people to realize?

00:36:54.000 We had it better!

00:36:55.000 Yeah, we're ripping down statues of history.

00:36:59.000 We've been doing this for so long.

00:37:00.000 We've been dividing the country for so long.

00:37:02.000 We've been telling people that they're unclean.

00:37:05.000 And now we're trying to shake it so people, in my opinion, are too racist.

00:37:09.000 You either want to consider yourself, you're going to either be a majority or a minority.

00:37:13.000 That's it.

00:37:13.000 Well, Dave, we were telling you you were unclean because you hadn't showered in a while.

00:37:17.000 First of all, I showered twice.

00:37:18.000 It's not a hemorrhoid.

00:37:19.000 It turns out it's a yeast infection.

00:37:21.000 Well, yeah, it is a yeast infection.

00:37:24.000 I've never had a hemorrhoid, though.

00:37:25.000 What do you do about it?

00:37:27.000 Well, I think you stop straining so much.

00:37:29.000 All right, we do have to move on.

00:37:30.000 We have so much to get to.

00:37:31.000 We have a rebuttal here.

00:37:31.000 I don't know if we're going to have time to do all this today.

00:37:33.000 Boris Johnson, Apollo.

00:37:35.000 Do we want to do the John Oliver?

00:37:36.000 Look, if 4,000 people click like before I get through the next two stories, We'll do the John Oliver rebuttal.

00:37:45.000 I think if we don't do it tomorrow, we'll be rushing.

00:37:46.000 So smash that like button. 0.97

00:37:48.000 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.

00:37:53.000 Do you have the like button there, Tim Tuleman?

00:37:55.000 All right.

00:37:55.000 There we go.

00:37:56.000 4,000 within the next five minutes.

00:37:58.000 I can't say that anymore.

00:37:59.000 All right, we're at 9,000 now.

00:38:00.000 Okay, Boris Johnson.

00:38:01.000 All right, so if it gets to 13,000, then we'll continue.

00:38:03.000 It'll just be a little bit of a long show today.

00:38:06.000 Boris Johnson had to apologize for what's now being referred to as Partygate, for people who don't know the British Prime Minister.

00:38:13.000 There was a report published by Susan Gray about how Boris Johnson partied while the country was locked down.

00:38:19.000 So it's not exclusive to Gavin Newsom.

00:38:21.000 Now, this happened, people were outraged, and you probably saw, you know, there was video circulating of him apologizing to his credit.

00:38:27.000 The thing is, what you saw was the whitewashed version of his apology.

00:38:32.000 Oh, really?

00:38:33.000 Yeah, it was, again, context matters more than content.

00:38:36.000 And we here have actually procured, we don't have the video for the, because they shut off the cameras.

00:38:40.000 We have the full unedited apology of Boris Johnson for Partygate.

00:38:46.000 And I would like to take this moment to sincerely apologize for the parties that were hosted during lockdowns.

00:38:52.000 They were unbecoming and unprofessional.

00:38:54.000 I'm truly sorry.

00:38:56.000 For all of it.

00:38:57.000 The gathering, the lack of masks, the champagne, the whole lot.

00:39:00.000 What about the feather dusters?

00:39:02.000 Ah, yes, of course, the mishap with the feather duster, the French-made outfits, like I said, all of it.

00:39:07.000 And the garden hose with the sprinkler head?

00:39:10.000 And the garden hose with the sprinkler head, like I said, all of it.

00:39:13.000 I apologize for the parties, the champagne, The feather dusters, the maid outfits, and yes, the garden hose with the sprinklers.

00:39:19.000 Don't forget the ball gags!

00:39:20.000 Yes, and the small replicas of Big Ben placed in jelly balloons.

00:39:24.000 They're not even symmetrical!

00:39:26.000 And the marmots.

00:39:26.000 Yes, now, we needn't rehash the specific spot.

00:39:29.000 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.

00:39:40.000 I didn't even ask for the Big Ben balloon and he used it on me!

00:39:43.000 You was asking for it with your eyes!

00:39:45.000 Would you perhaps see eyes wide shut, Matt? 0.99

00:39:47.000 I had to be a pig! 0.96

00:39:48.000 He got the pig mask, I was a rabbit! 0.98

00:39:49.000 And the marmots!

00:39:51.000 Yes, yes, as I said, I've apologised for the lot of it under the umbrella of the party that did in fact include...

00:39:58.000 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.

00:40:12.000 It's like a badger, the marmot.

00:40:15.000 It hurts if it's in the wrong place.

00:40:19.000 Well, across the pond, they do things differently.

00:40:22.000 They do. 1.00

00:40:22.000 Their own culture is silly. 1.00

00:40:23.000 Even Nick Nolte thinks he looks like shit. 1.00

00:40:25.000 What are you doing with your hair, you son of a bitch? 1.00

00:40:29.000 You growth-fragmenter son of a bitch! 1.00

00:40:33.000 I feel bad for him when he speaks. 1.00

00:40:35.000 You stupid Nolte! 1.00

00:40:37.000 I see Boris Johnson on the team. 1.00

00:40:39.000 Oh, hell.

00:40:43.000 We need to do a PC 48 hours reboot.

00:40:51.000 You cut out all the movies?

00:40:52.000 Alright, well you guys... It's eight minutes long.

00:40:54.000 You guys smashed the like button more than enough of you, so okay, we're gonna do this story. 0.99

00:40:58.000 Jerks! 0.97

00:40:59.000 The Supreme Court, just so you know right now, we'll set it up with this. 0.91

00:41:01.000 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.

00:41:11.000 And this is something where a lot of people are upset about how Asian Americans are being treated at universities.

00:41:17.000 So Harvard uses subjective measures like likeability, kindness, to keep out Asian students. 1.00

00:41:26.000 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.

00:41:41.000 I didn't even see that. Than blacks and Latinos on average to be admitted into these schools.

00:41:44.000 Yeah. So why is this overtly racist? And I do mean racist practice allowed to continue.

00:41:53.000 It still can. Why does it still exist today? It's still with the lisp.

00:41:57.000 That's what's happening right here. But before I move on, what is with the weird faces on CNN?

00:42:02.000 It's the weird face patrol.

00:42:04.000 I think it's the spacing of the eyes.

00:42:06.000 I think they want you to be slightly off.

00:42:08.000 Her one eye, I think she's just a little drunk. 0.99

00:42:11.000 Her one eye drifts.

00:42:13.000 Like she's Pinterest mom drunk.

00:42:14.000 Yes, yeah.

00:42:16.000 Just like a little bit of, yeah.

00:42:18.000 I ate fruit for dinner!

00:42:19.000 It's one of those jumbo wine glasses.

00:42:22.000 Listen, that's my audience, Stephen.

00:42:23.000 Wine o'clock somewhere.

00:42:24.000 Be careful.

00:42:25.000 Those are the people that buy.

00:42:26.000 Right.

00:42:28.000 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.

00:42:35.000 I guess we're still on right now.

00:42:36.000 Billions of people, too.

00:42:37.000 And we'll be taking your chat here.

00:42:38.000 We're on TikTok.

00:42:38.000 Yeah, I guess.

00:42:39.000 We have to be.

00:42:40.000 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.

00:42:49.000 Kids, remember Mumbo No. 0.91

00:42:51.000 Huh?

00:42:53.000 For more of that, go to my buddy Kimmel.

00:42:55.000 Dogs out, woof woof, huh?

00:42:57.000 That was a good song to have written, boy.

00:42:59.000 Let me teach you how to Dougie!

00:43:01.000 Remember your friend putting that CD in and you punching him in the face?

00:43:04.000 Watch, tomorrow Stephen Colbert's gonna plank.

00:43:07.000 I can't wait.

00:43:09.000 Next week he's eating Tide Pods.

00:43:10.000 So here's something, I want to set this up here because... Fingers crossed.

00:43:15.000 The left two, they want to whitewash racism, like we just saw with the Holocaust.

00:43:19.000 What's that name that Hajj, what's the name of the guy who does that Patriot Act on Netflix?

00:43:25.000 Jeffrey Ross?

00:43:26.000 No.

00:43:27.000 No, Minaj something.

00:43:28.000 Oh, Minaj Atoi.

00:43:29.000 Yes.

00:43:30.000 I know you're talking about him.

00:43:31.000 Good one.

00:43:32.000 It was… Ahsan Minaj?

00:43:34.000 Ahsan Minaj.

00:43:35.000 Is that his name?

00:43:36.000 Yeah, he's a comic.

00:43:37.000 He toured.

00:43:38.000 Yeah.

00:43:39.000 Ahsan Minaj, yeah.

00:43:40.000 Yes, yes.

00:43:41.000 Comic.

00:43:42.000 He does that show there where he talked about the model minority myth.

00:43:44.000 I know he did a show on that.

00:43:45.000 I think we did that a long time ago.

00:43:46.000 But here's the thing.

00:43:47.000 They want to erase racism where it actually existed and wants to continually oppress people

00:43:53.000 today depending on which group it is.

00:43:56.000 They want you to think, I should say.

00:43:59.000 Here's actually, it's a beautiful, it's a beautiful trick.

00:44:02.000 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.

00:44:11.000 Just like Hitler lied, right? 0.82

00:44:13.000 Hitler lied. 0.88

00:44:13.000 He predicated it on race. 0.88

00:44:14.000 He made lies about people's specific ethnicity, specific race.

00:44:18.000 And that, of course, allowed him to oppress people, not just the Jews. 0.95

00:44:22.000 Allowed him to oppress everybody.

00:44:23.000 Allowed him to take control over everybody.

00:44:25.000 And we're seeing that take place right now with Asian Americans and the Democrat Party.

00:44:29.000 So you see this with the admissions into university, this Supreme Court case.

00:44:33.000 I'm interested to hear how it goes.

00:44:35.000 Let me just set this up to be clear.

00:44:36.000 And at the end of this, I'm going to offer some solutions, unlike John Oliver.

00:44:41.000 We did this segment a while ago, but then it just came back because of the Supreme Court case.

00:44:45.000 I think everybody here agrees you should get into university based on your grades, your qualifications, period.

00:44:50.000 We don't need to change our point of view regardless of who's applying.

00:44:54.000 Black. 0.93

00:44:54.000 White. 0.93

00:44:55.000 Green.

00:44:56.000 I was about to say yellow, but then, you know, the Jesus Loves Me song is racist.

00:45:00.000 It really is.

00:45:01.000 I think if you want to have crippling debt for a pointless education that'll get you nowhere, you have at it.

00:45:06.000 Welcome to Harvard.

00:45:07.000 It's the new American dream.

00:45:09.000 Good for you.

00:45:10.000 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. 0.99

00:45:22.000 Well, thanks.

00:45:22.000 That's what student loan forgiveness is!

00:45:24.000 Well, no, it's you.

00:45:25.000 You made the money.

00:45:26.000 You spent the money.

00:45:28.000 You, who made the money, you need to give them the money to spend.

00:45:31.000 You can't just make money and then spend money and then what do you think?

00:45:35.000 You're just going to continue making? 0.98

00:45:36.000 It's ridiculous! 0.99

00:45:36.000 No! 0.99

00:45:38.000 Give him the money.

00:45:39.000 You make enough money.

00:45:40.000 Come on.

00:45:40.000 It's forgiveness.

00:45:41.000 It's loan forgiveness. 1.00

00:45:41.000 But when you're 18 you make stupid choices. 1.00

00:45:44.000 Right. 1.00

00:45:44.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:45:45.000 So we should make all the 45 year olds pay for the 18 year olds. 0.98

00:45:48.000 No, no, no.

00:45:49.000 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. 1.00

00:45:54.000 Yeah, you don't make stupid choices. 0.99

00:45:55.000 You have a dealer telling you that college is going to solve all your problems. 1.00

00:45:59.000 And oh, you'll pay it off eventually and we'll probably forgive it.

00:46:01.000 So give it a whirl.

00:46:02.000 Okay.

00:46:03.000 You played foosball.

00:46:05.000 So this is the model minority myth. 0.99

00:46:08.000 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.

00:46:15.000 So he tried to argue against this perception of Asians as the model minority.

00:46:20.000 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.

00:46:30.000 What that really is, is racism.

00:46:31.000 What it really is, is they're using a model minority to be racist towards, so actually they're racist towards you. 0.81

00:46:35.000 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.

00:46:42.000 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.

00:46:55.000 Asian Americans can sometimes be oddly overlooked.

00:46:57.000 A recent survey asked respondents to simply name a well-known Asian American, and the results were not good.

00:47:04.000 42% of people said that they don't know one.

00:47:07.000 The next most popular answers were Jackie Chan, who's from Hong Kong, and Bruce Lee, who died in 1973.

00:47:14.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:47:17.000 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. 0.96

00:47:26.000 How do you fuck up a question that easy? 0.97

00:47:29.000 Now, first off, this is a perfect example of trying to instill white guilt to begin with. 0.99

00:47:36.000 Because most people are going, I guess I am racist.

00:47:38.000 But you know what?

00:47:39.000 Hold on a second, John Oliver.

00:47:40.000 Maybe people didn't think of Kamala Harris as Asian-American because of Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:47:48.000 Growing up my sister and I had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents couldn't play with us because she 1.00

00:47:54.000 because we were black

00:47:57.000 Good vibes like yoga Oh, thank you.

00:48:04.000 Always.

00:48:05.000 Look at all those Asian Americans. 1.00

00:48:15.000 Okay, do you have a favorite band or favorite musician?

00:48:23.000 I I'd say one of my favorites is Bob Marley.

00:48:26.000 Oh.

00:48:27.000 Good choice.

00:48:28.000 You can't go wrong with that.

00:48:29.000 That's a crowd pleaser.

00:48:30.000 Hard-hitting questions.

00:48:31.000 On your mixtape, what would be like your favorite three songs?

00:48:36.000 Oh, okay, let's see.

00:48:39.000 Aretha Franklin, anything Aretha Franklin. 0.99

00:48:46.000 I would say Bob Marley and then, I don't know, I love Cardi B. Yeah, those aren't songs, stupid. 0.98

00:48:58.000 She's also the one that said she was back in 1978 listening to Tupac. 0.97

00:49:02.000 Yeah, well, you know.

00:49:03.000 And smoking.

00:49:04.000 Well, maybe she is Asian. 1.00

00:49:06.000 She used her mask skills to make a time machine.

00:49:08.000 She couldn't think of the song Respect?

00:49:12.000 Bob Marley?

00:49:13.000 Just pick any. 0.95

00:49:14.000 Oh, and then she's just like in her head is like, just name black people. 0.99

00:49:17.000 Just name black people. 0.99

00:49:18.000 Aretha! 0.98

00:49:20.000 Coldplay?

00:49:21.000 Shoot, I'm running low.

00:49:24.000 Bruno Mars is something, right?

00:49:26.000 You couldn't think of Buffalo Soldier?

00:49:29.000 Red Hot Chili Peppers, that's it.

00:49:33.000 She's such a big fan, Dave.

00:49:34.000 There's just so much to choose from.

00:49:38.000 Oh, Bob Marley, that's my favorite.

00:49:40.000 I saw that on a shirt in the lobby.

00:49:42.000 One love.

00:49:42.000 Or two.

00:49:46.000 Ganja.

00:49:46.000 Red Stripe.

00:49:47.000 What? 0.99

00:49:48.000 You're racist. 0.97

00:49:48.000 So, look, here's John Oliver. 0.97

00:49:50.000 I just said it because he's trying to set it up.

00:49:52.000 Who did he ask, though, honestly, for this interview?

00:49:54.000 Where you don't know an Asian-American and you only know Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee? 0.98

00:49:58.000 They just knock on doors at a Motel 6 and it was fucking a drunk guy who's throwing beer cans at the television? 0.98

00:50:04.000 Right, yeah. 0.86

00:50:05.000 Do you have any Asian friends?

00:50:06.000 No.

00:50:07.000 Okay.

00:50:08.000 Name an Asian.

00:50:09.000 I don't know, Bruce Lee.

00:50:11.000 What, did you think about Kamala Harris?

00:50:14.000 She's what? 1.00

00:50:15.000 Heh.

00:50:17.000 All right, fine.

00:50:17.000 Don't bother me.

00:50:18.000 General so, I don't know.

00:50:20.000 Then she knocks on the wrong door of the wrong trucker.

00:50:23.000 I like a good Asian.

00:50:24.000 It washes my room clean.

00:50:27.000 Oh! 0.60

00:50:28.000 It's you, Joy Ride!

00:50:29.000 I didn't know.

00:50:30.000 I should have gone to the next room, Joy Ride.

00:50:31.000 All right, so this is the point that John Oliver tries to make, like, look at you.

00:50:35.000 How did you not know that she was Asian American?

00:50:36.000 Namely because she doesn't mention it unless it's politically convenient.

00:50:39.000 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. 0.93

00:50:46.000 So, this is an argument that John Oliver makes to try and make sure that, you know, you're racist.

00:50:51.000 Of course, a lot of Americans who are not racist but who recognize that there are disparities between races in certain results.

00:50:57.000 So, for example, academically, Asians tend to excel.

00:51:00.000 Athletically, black Americans tend to excel, right? 1.00

00:51:03.000 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.

00:51:23.000 With the implication being that groups that haven't succeeded simply haven't tried hard enough.

00:51:29.000 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.

00:51:55.000 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?

00:52:06.000 Okay, first off, if you say it with a lilt, you somehow act like it's an insane question.

00:52:12.000 That's a perfectly reasonable question, actually.

00:52:15.000 Let's be clear about that.

00:52:16.000 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.

00:52:23.000 Anyway, here's the thing.

00:52:25.000 Why was the United States Why was the United States able to find these highly skilled immigrants from Asia in the first place? 0.99

00:52:32.000 Okay.

00:52:34.000 If we look at history, it shows us that culture is directly responsible for a lot of this.

00:52:39.000 Let me give you a couple of examples, and it has nothing to do with melanin, Nick Cannon.

00:52:44.000 A two-parent family, right?

00:52:46.000 We've talked about this.

00:52:46.000 Two-parent households, mom and dad.

00:52:48.000 It's crucial.

00:52:50.000 Crucial.

00:52:51.000 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.

00:53:00.000 When people talk about repairing the education system, when people talk about fixing our welfare, social safety net, nothing.

00:53:05.000 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. 0.53

00:53:28.000 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.

00:53:40.000 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.

00:53:49.000 You are less likely to be a criminal.

00:53:50.000 You are more likely to be well-adjusted mentally.

00:53:52.000 You are more likely to have a long-term relationship that's healthy.

00:53:54.000 It's the single greatest indicator that we have of future success for children.

00:54:00.000 So, culturally, this matters because Asian Americans, 85% of Asian American children grow up in two-parent households.

00:54:08.000 Black Americans?

00:54:09.000 36%.

00:54:09.000 Now, let me be clear about something.

00:54:11.000 All references are available at ladderwithcredit.com.

00:54:13.000 When you say, oh, hold on a second, that's just rape. 1.00

00:54:15.000 No, no, look, look.

00:54:15.000 We are talking about culture.

00:54:17.000 Two-parent household.

00:54:18.000 Because guess what? 0.91

00:54:18.000 A black child with a two-parent household is still better off. 0.91

00:54:23.000 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. 0.89

00:54:30.000 Just to be clear.

00:54:31.000 That's the beauty of it.

00:54:32.000 It's just that there are so few black households in America where both mom and dad are active

00:54:37.000 and taking a role in the life.

00:54:38.000 It's very common.

00:54:39.000 It's actually higher in Asian households than any other minority group in the United States.

00:54:42.000 Right.

00:54:43.000 And so the cultural part of this, like this didn't, this wasn't always the case where

00:54:47.000 African-Americans had higher proportion of single parent families than everybody else,

00:54:51.000 but they bought the lie that's been sold to them and the black community did not stand

00:54:55.000 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.

00:55:01.000 This, like you said, is the single greatest indicator.

00:55:03.000 We have study after study after study.

00:55:05.000 It's not white men trying to control you.

00:55:07.000 It's not white men trying to make sure that you do things the right way.

00:55:10.000 It's saying, this will be beneficial to you.

00:55:12.000 And everything that we see from BLM and the left is attacking the nuclear family.

00:55:16.000 BLM, it's on their charters. 1.00

00:55:17.000 Why?

00:55:18.000 No nuclear family.

00:55:18.000 And by the way, just so you know, baby mama is actually, we use that term, right?

00:55:22.000 Now people say baby mama.

00:55:23.000 It's actually one of the few sort of cultural, I don't know, would you say idiom there?

00:55:26.000 Would you say just cultural colloquialisms?

00:55:28.000 That stems from policy.

00:55:30.000 It stems from policy going back to Lyndon Johnson.

00:55:32.000 It stems from the model cities.

00:55:34.000 It stems from financially incentivizing single parent households with welfare.

00:55:39.000 That's the thing.

00:55:39.000 Baby mama is actually the result of legislative policy.

00:55:42.000 And it's a horrible thing to do to a child.

00:55:44.000 I'm not saying that some people aren't widows.

00:55:46.000 Some people aren't... Is it widowers as a guy?

00:55:50.000 I don't know.

00:55:50.000 Widower.

00:55:51.000 Widower, yeah.

00:55:52.000 Widow.

00:55:52.000 Is it widower?

00:55:53.000 Widowee?

00:55:53.000 I don't know the plural.

00:55:55.000 The point is, let's not get too lost in the weeds.

00:55:56.000 Then we become John Oliver or Whoopi Goldberg and saying that the Holocaust isn't racist. 0.86

00:55:59.000 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. 1.00

00:56:06.000 You ever learn to play Mary Little Had a Little Lamb with your thumb?

00:56:10.000 Not easy.

00:56:11.000 So, uh, let me also go through education.

00:56:15.000 Go ahead.

00:56:15.000 No, please, it's your show.

00:56:17.000 What were you about to say?

00:56:18.000 Nothing.

00:56:19.000 All right.

00:56:20.000 Education.

00:56:20.000 So we're talking about dual parent households.

00:56:22.000 Education.

00:56:22.000 These are cultural examples.

00:56:24.000 Do you believe that for some reason Asians, because of the color of their skin, stay together at a rate of 85% versus 36%?

00:56:33.000 You want to say that that's because of race. 0.96

00:56:35.000 Okay, you're the racist. 0.98

00:56:36.000 Let's go on to education. 1.00

00:56:38.000 Asian students spend four times as much time studying as black Americans. They score an average of

00:56:44.000 eight points higher on the ACT.

00:56:46.000 Asian students have 13% higher high school graduation rates than black Americans.

00:56:51.000 Do you want to say that's just because of their race?

00:56:53.000 Now here's the thing. Let's... spoiler alert. No. Okay.

00:56:59.000 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.

00:57:07.000 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. 0.94

00:57:16.000 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.

00:57:26.000 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.

00:57:32.000 I don't think you should be bringing in the lowest, the non-skilled labor to take jobs

00:57:37.000 away from lower income Americans.

00:57:39.000 It doesn't make any sense and that's not been the policy of any successful country as it

00:57:42.000 relates to immigration.

00:57:43.000 Okay.

00:57:44.000 Now, let's look across the world.

00:57:45.000 It's not just in the United States.

00:57:46.000 Thirty percent higher global school enrollment rates in East Asia versus Sub-Saharan Africa.

00:57:52.000 This is something that you see over there and you see it modeled here as well in the

00:57:56.000 United States.

00:57:57.000 Asian Americans value hard work and family, seven to 20 percent more than the general

00:58:02.000 population, not just black Americans.

00:58:04.000 Of course, that might have some kind of an impact on their success later in life.

00:58:07.000 You may say it's just because of their race.

00:58:10.000 Right, John Oliver?

00:58:11.000 It's all race-based. 0.98

00:58:12.000 Chin-cha, chin-cha, I know what you're saying. 0.97

00:58:14.000 I just think you're racist, yeah.

00:58:16.000 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.

00:58:24.000 Asians, they value hard work and sticking to a problem. 1.00

00:58:27.000 They've done studies on this as well with white kids.

00:58:29.000 And strong family units.

00:58:30.000 Yep, we tend to give up on math problems that are difficult after a shorter period of time.

00:58:34.000 Math is racist.

00:58:35.000 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.

00:58:42.000 Athletics.

00:58:42.000 Do you think that black people are just more athletically gifted en masse than everybody else?

00:58:46.000 Yes.

00:58:47.000 I don't know.

00:58:48.000 I'm not saying that that's true, but it is prized.

00:58:50.000 It's true.

00:58:50.000 It is prized.

00:58:51.000 It's a way out.

00:58:52.000 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.

00:58:58.000 That's a good point, but they're also faster and they can jump higher.

00:59:01.000 Well, I don't know that that's true.

00:59:03.000 It's true.

00:59:03.000 I don't think it's true.

00:59:04.000 Okay, I don't know if it's true.

00:59:06.000 Just check every human land speed record.

00:59:09.000 You're not gonna find a white name.

00:59:12.000 It was a Jamaican guy.

00:59:14.000 Yeah.

00:59:14.000 His name is Bolt.

00:59:15.000 He's gotta be fast.

00:59:16.000 His name is Bolt.

00:59:17.000 They kind of were stacking the deck on that one.

00:59:20.000 But of course they grow up to be like doctors and surgeons.

00:59:24.000 They eat with sticks.

00:59:25.000 Yeah.

00:59:25.000 Well, I mean, come on, you have an idea of the dexterity?

00:59:27.000 You're talking about Asian people?

00:59:28.000 Come on! 0.61

00:59:29.000 Not to mention, cultivating rice, much more difficult than corn.

00:59:31.000 That's actually, there's a whole historical context.

00:59:32.000 It's a whole thing.

00:59:33.000 You gotta wear a hat.

00:59:34.000 Well, Malcolm Gladwell did some studies into this, and it was very interesting what he came to.

00:59:37.000 And he's like, look, this is just a cultural thing that has been passed down from generation to generation.

00:59:43.000 Don't say it's racism, though, to acknowledge it and go, oh, hey, guess what?

00:59:47.000 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!

00:59:53.000 No, no it's not.

00:59:54.000 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.

01:00:03.000 And I do mean racism from John Oliver, just like we saw from Whoopi Goldberg.

01:00:06.000 I don't think they have hate in their heart for Asian Americans, just to be clear.

01:00:08.000 I don't think they're Nazis.

01:00:10.000 Although Whoopi, I just don't know why, I just don't know why she feels the Nazis need a leg up. 0.68

01:00:14.000 But we'll go back to that tomorrow.

01:00:16.000 It's just odd to me that she would feel the need to defend She's like an apologist.

01:00:20.000 I don't know, maybe she's mad at Billy Crystal about something.

01:00:23.000 It could be.

01:00:25.000 Howard Stern.

01:00:27.000 So when they do this, I do think that it's actually racist by what used to be the definition of racism.

01:00:31.000 So this is something also that John Oliver does, and then he bitches about dividing people by racial groups.

01:00:39.000 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. 1.00

01:00:48.000 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.

01:00:57.000 For example, about 10% of Asian Americans live in poverty, which is actually lower than the overall U.S.

01:01:03.000 poverty rate.

01:01:04.000 Yes.

01:01:04.000 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.

01:01:13.000 ...having a poverty rate of 25 percent, more than twice the national average.

01:01:18.000 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.

01:01:30.000 The point is, disaggregating the data can reveal big disparities that you

01:01:35.000 couldn't see previously.

01:01:36.000 Oh, you mean see people as individuals? Oh, in this case, you're still seeing them as a group,

01:01:40.000 just a subgroup of Asians. Let me be really clear before I get to the actual percentages to rebut it.

01:01:45.000 This is where they are misguided. Do you know why there are certain groups? And this is not

01:01:49.000 just with Asians, this is with immigrants of all the more recently someone immigrated to the United 0.94

01:01:53.000 States, when you're looking at the family, the more likely they are to live in poverty.

01:01:57.000 That's important to note. It means they haven't set their roots in the country here that allows 1.00

01:02:02.000 prosperity.

01:02:04.000 Mongolians, less than 1%. 0.98

01:02:05.000 And they're so annoying the Chinese had to build a wall. 1.00

01:02:07.000 The Burmese, 1%. 1.00

01:02:07.000 Asian Americans are. What? Chinese 24%, Indian 21%, Filipino 19%, Vietnamese 10%, 1.00

01:02:12.000 Korean 9%, Japanese 7%. Let's compare it to John Oliver's examples. Mongolians 1.00

01:02:17.000 less than 1%. And they're annoying. They're so annoying the Chinese had to 1.00

01:02:21.000 build a wall. The Burmese 1%, the Bhutanese less than 1%. 1.00

01:02:26.000 Okay, if you look at the population for Mongolian, Burmese, Bhutanese

01:02:29.000 Americans, most of that boom Yeah.

01:02:32.000 Okay?

01:02:33.000 They're not behind because they're Mongolian.

01:02:37.000 We love their barbecue!

01:02:38.000 It's got the thing and they do it and it's fun!

01:02:40.000 I put on an egg!

01:02:42.000 The key is to put the meat in... Meat first, you're right.

01:02:45.000 The key is, yeah.

01:02:46.000 Meat first.

01:02:46.000 It's not fun.

01:02:49.000 I gotta walk in a line and fill up my bowl and watch you cook it on a thing? 0.52

01:02:54.000 I wanna sit and order!

01:02:56.000 That's true.

01:02:56.000 The food is good.

01:02:57.000 It's absurd.

01:02:58.000 It's a little bit of a self-checkout of Asian cuisine, but the food is tasty.

01:03:02.000 Can we agree on that?

01:03:03.000 We can agree on that.

01:03:04.000 You made a really good point.

01:03:05.000 I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying it's a lot of work for a restaurant.

01:03:07.000 No, I know.

01:03:09.000 Yeah, I get it.

01:03:10.000 We need to automate.

01:03:11.000 So what he said was true. 0.89

01:03:12.000 What did you say?

01:03:13.000 With track marks making your food? 0.76

01:03:15.000 I hate everyone.

01:03:17.000 Go ahead.

01:03:19.000 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.

01:03:24.000 But he's breaking down Asian and saying, well, these people are doing better. 0.56

01:03:27.000 These people are doing better.

01:03:28.000 The other factor is, oh, good.

01:03:30.000 So you think that maybe culturally we should look at and see, well, what is this culture prize?

01:03:35.000 Do these cultures tend to prize this the same way that maybe this other Indian culture does?

01:03:39.000 Or do Japanese cultures prize this like Mongolian cultures?

01:03:43.000 We can actually look and see, John.

01:03:45.000 You're making a great point that maybe cultures are a little different.

01:03:48.000 And I'm not saying inferior or better.

01:03:50.000 I'm saying that they prize things.

01:03:52.000 They hold things to a higher esteem that maybe are more valuable.

01:03:56.000 And that's something to look at to solve the problem.

01:03:57.000 One thing you see across the board, for example, if we look at the poverty rates of natural-born

01:04:03.000 Chinese-American citizens versus foreign-born Chinese-Americans, they're 15 percent of them

01:04:08.000 are in poverty.

01:04:09.000 United States born, 9 percent.

01:04:10.000 And you see this across a lot of populations.

01:04:12.000 You see this with Haitian-Americans who are born in the United States, who have had families,

01:04:17.000 who've had roots.

01:04:18.000 You see the same thing with Latino-Americans. 1.00

01:04:19.000 The determining factor, and isn't that a beautiful thing?

01:04:23.000 But again, let's not talk about that because then that lets people know that America's

01:04:26.000 a better country.

01:04:28.000 You've heard me talk about this many times when people point to the Nordic model.

01:04:31.000 Swedish-Americans, it's true, the average Swede has a higher what they call a quality of living.

01:04:36.000 There's a sort of an index that's created, right?

01:04:38.000 A higher quality or standard of life than the average American.

01:04:41.000 But Swedish-Americans have a higher quality of life than Swedes in Sweden.

01:04:46.000 Same thing for Danish-Americans. 0.95

01:04:48.000 Yeah.

01:04:49.000 Well, when everything's given to you kind of for free, I mean, hey, do you like free stuff?

01:04:52.000 Well, yeah.

01:04:53.000 Yeah, but then you sell us Particle Board and make us put it together.

01:04:56.000 Why would we like you?

01:04:57.000 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.

01:05:18.000 So they might do a little bit better because they try a little hard They've seen is that possible?

01:05:21.000 I mean it could be a possible.

01:05:23.000 I'm just saying I'm not saying that's every case But it's very possible.

01:05:26.000 Also Zach Morris did very well on his SATs Oh, well.

01:05:31.000 Not like that NC Slater, but he sits on that chair backwards and my goodness does he look cool.

01:05:36.000 Now, the earliest Asian American immigrants, like those from China, this is something also where John Oliver just, again, remember what he said before.

01:05:42.000 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.

01:05:57.000 Asian immigration in that time was essentially a cycle of economic exploitation, followed by a violent and restrictive backlash.

01:06:03.000 This began with Chinese immigrants who were recruited to work on the railroads in the 1860s.

01:06:09.000 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.

01:06:19.000 So here's the thing.

01:06:20.000 I completely agree.

01:06:21.000 No one's saying that America has a spotless path.

01:06:23.000 I think it's important to recognize that it's not only black Americans who face discrimination here.

01:06:26.000 Of course, Asian Americans have. 0.98

01:06:28.000 You have people who aren't talking about their great-great-great-great-grandfather was a slave.

01:06:30.000 You have people who they've seen their grandfather who was put in an internment camp.

01:06:34.000 That is significant.

01:06:35.000 Also significant, no racial group has faced systemic discrimination since the Civil Rights Act.

01:06:40.000 Asian, black, or otherwise.

01:06:42.000 So, we now have enough of a data set.

01:06:44.000 Now, let's go on to his next point because the show is going a little bit long.

01:06:47.000 He talks about how living up to the model minority stereotype inflicts psychological damage on Asian Americans.

01:06:54.000 Here he goes.

01:06:55.000 Whether or not you're successful, living a life defined by a racist fantasy just isn't good for you.

01:07:01.000 Striving to maintain the idea of a model minority has really severed my self-esteem.

01:07:07.000 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.

01:07:17.000 Right.

01:07:18.000 By trying to be perfect, your whole life is going to be too much to bear.

01:07:23.000 That kind of pressure can do real damage.

01:07:26.000 Suicide is the leading cause of death for Asian Americans between the ages of 15 and 24. 1.00

01:07:32.000 I can't take the bullshit! 1.00

01:07:33.000 Did you see this light of hand that just took place there? 1.00

01:07:35.000 Again, this is the problem with presenting facts, first off, without any context.

01:07:38.000 Again, references available at loudearthcreditor.com.

01:07:41.000 This segment has to be long because I think it requires context.

01:07:44.000 I'm not trying to tell you, it's too complicated for me to explain!

01:07:48.000 That's not what I'm saying!

01:07:49.000 I want you to read up more on this, so check the references.

01:07:52.000 Suicide is the leading cause of adolescent death, he says, you know, in the United States for Asian Americans.

01:07:57.000 And he, of course, ties that to this idea that the model Minority, racist, three from the United States.

01:08:03.000 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!

01:08:11.000 Combine Asian with My Chemical Romance, those wrists are spotless! 0.99

01:08:15.000 And most of them do it with a sword if they get an A-.

01:08:18.000 Well, they have a sword at the ready.

01:08:20.000 We had a wooden spoon or a switch.

01:08:23.000 Oh, did you get a B?

01:08:25.000 Don't make me get a sword draw.

01:08:28.000 I'm going to sword draw.

01:08:29.000 Which one will I choose? 0.95

01:08:31.000 You bring a much shame to the family.

01:08:34.000 It's a worldwide issue. 0.96

01:08:36.000 It's not American Asians who commit suicide.

01:08:38.000 So the leading cause of adolescent death is suicide in Korea, in Japan, in China, in Singapore.

01:08:48.000 So again, what you see is a hybridizing.

01:08:50.000 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.

01:08:56.000 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.

01:09:07.000 It's the leading cause of adolescent death in those countries.

01:09:09.000 And if you look at the top countries as far as suicide rates, you always have Japan, Korea.

01:09:13.000 They're always somewhere near the top, certainly as far as it relates to the industrialized world.

01:09:17.000 Now, this pressure may come from the fact that there's a big honor culture.

01:09:22.000 In Asia, right? 0.92

01:09:23.000 A lot of pressure to do well.

01:09:24.000 Your family name means something.

01:09:26.000 Ah, I think you get the point.

01:09:27.000 Family.

01:09:27.000 Where does this pressure come from?

01:09:28.000 Is it random people off the street saying you're Asian so you have to be smart?

01:09:31.000 No, it's coming from the family.

01:09:33.000 So John Oliver, if the problem is the family, your whole argument goes away.

01:09:38.000 Yeah, he wants you to believe that Andrew Yang makes a math joke and then all of a sudden people are plummeting from rooftops.

01:09:43.000 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.

01:09:53.000 Please bring otter to us!

01:10:01.000 Please!

01:10:02.000 Please!

01:10:02.000 Ancient evidence suggesting just how important honor was in these Confucian based societies.

01:10:09.000 Asians!

01:10:26.000 Now, I never realized what a cultural appropriator David Carradine was.

01:10:30.000 Yeah.

01:10:31.000 No, I didn't know he was still alive.

01:10:33.000 No, that was his, no, he's not, well, him hanging himself, the auto-erotic, that was the Asian equivalent of Taco Tuesday. 0.59

01:10:39.000 Oh, that's what I thought, okay.

01:10:40.000 That last girl was not fully committed, by the way, she just- Oh, she killed herself.

01:10:44.000 Oh, okay.

01:10:44.000 Moments later, with the umbrella.

01:10:46.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:10:47.000 I mean, it took a couple of saws.

01:10:48.000 Yeah, but when she opened it up, I mean, it really- Trick.

01:10:51.000 You gotta put your tiny wrists into it.

01:10:54.000 Yeah, you really do, and you're binded. 0.94

01:10:56.000 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.

01:11:05.000 Okay, and I'm making a generalization, but let me ask you this.

01:11:09.000 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?

01:11:25.000 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.

01:11:35.000 You live in the freest country in the world with the most upward mobility, and you know what?

01:11:39.000 I believe in you.

01:11:39.000 I don't think it's a racial issue.

01:11:41.000 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?

01:11:48.000 So, this is how he ends up closing his segment, his lesson for you, and we're going to have some actual solutions here.

01:11:53.000 I think some pragmatic solutions do matter, and they're pretty easy.

01:11:56.000 Simple stuff.

01:11:57.000 Like John Oliver erect a statue in my honor.

01:11:59.000 Simple things.

01:12:01.000 Asian Americans continue to be oppressed, Mr. Oliver says.

01:12:04.000 But there is no nice racism.

01:12:07.000 There is no silver lining to it, and there is no working your way out of it.

01:12:12.000 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.

01:12:24.000 So the model minority myth is both a tool of white supremacy and a trap.

01:12:29.000 Okay, so a couple of things here. 0.79

01:12:32.000 Violence against Asians, okay? 0.89

01:12:35.000 Where does that stem from?

01:12:39.000 Over 85% of all physical assault crimes in the Bay Area, right? 0.98

01:12:45.000 Liberal bastion of freedom, it's paradise, take place at the hands of black Americans against Asian Americans. 1.00

01:12:50.000 Could it be the soft on crime laws? 0.80

01:12:53.000 When he talks about all these other issues as far as you can't get out of it, you're one crisis away.

01:12:59.000 Well, hold on a second here.

01:13:00.000 A lot of Asian Americans, statistically, they are out of it.

01:13:05.000 And me saying that is why you created this segment.

01:13:08.000 You've accused people who say that, that they're out of it, of being racist and using the model minority.

01:13:13.000 You see the problem here?

01:13:15.000 There's no way out of it.

01:13:16.000 You're going to have white people saying, look, Asians are doing well and cheering you on.

01:13:22.000 Okay.

01:13:22.000 Well, it seems to me like that's a way out of it.

01:13:24.000 But if we point out that there's a way out of it, you accuse us of being racist.

01:13:27.000 This is the thing.

01:13:27.000 They need racism to be a modern boogeyman.

01:13:30.000 And then they don't care about the collateral damage.

01:13:32.000 They don't care about the collateral damage of anti-Asian hate crimes that take place.

01:13:36.000 They want to blame it on Donald Trump.

01:13:37.000 They don't care about the collateral damage while they're discussing here.

01:13:40.000 Later, he does a segment on affirmative action.

01:13:41.000 Well let's discuss that.

01:13:42.000 Where's the collateral damage of affirmative action?

01:13:44.000 The Supreme Court's going to be hearing a case on Harvard and the University of North Carolina?

01:13:48.000 North Carolina.

01:13:48.000 I think.

01:13:49.000 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.

01:14:06.000 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?

01:14:13.000 Well, look, not getting into Harvard's probably a silver lining to this thing.

01:14:17.000 It's probably a good thing.

01:14:19.000 You dodged a bullet.

01:14:20.000 Hang out with the likes of Barack Obama and Ted Cruz.

01:14:23.000 Dag me with a chopstick! 1.00

01:14:25.000 A-hole. 0.95

01:14:25.000 You are not Harvard material like Colin Jost. 0.95

01:14:31.000 Now, hold on a second, though.

01:14:32.000 Where have we heard about, you know, this applicant, Harrison Chen, where have we heard about lumping all Asians together before?

01:14:38.000 I feel like earlier.

01:14:40.000 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.

01:14:49.000 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. 0.82

01:14:59.000 Do you really believe that it's the right who's the party of divide and conquer?

01:15:03.000 I mean, it's kind of like this, usually in a relationship, in a romantic relationship, okay?

01:15:08.000 You end up, someone is either explosive, someone is either, you know, gets mad, or someone is incredibly manipulative.

01:15:13.000 Someone who gets mad is not really all that clever.

01:15:16.000 They can't control their emotions, so they're not capable of being manipulative.

01:15:20.000 Yeah.

01:15:21.000 This is the issue here.

01:15:22.000 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.

01:15:35.000 That's you guys! 0.89

01:15:36.000 You're manipulative! 0.94

01:15:38.000 Well, they're racist towards the right groups, though, right? 1.00

01:15:40.000 They're racist towards white people. 0.99

01:15:42.000 They're racist towards Asians. 0.99

01:15:43.000 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.

01:15:50.000 They need affirmative action to be able to get into these universities, even though they don't match on the scores, potentially, right?

01:15:55.000 Not all the time.

01:15:56.000 And that's okay and that's acceptable.

01:15:58.000 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.

01:16:09.000 That's his entire argument.

01:16:10.000 That sounds about right.

01:16:11.000 Oh, but John Oliver, he's like a Reese's.

01:16:12.000 There's no wrong way to be racist.

01:16:18.000 But why not?

01:16:19.000 If you really want to base this on individuality, then yes, you would look at them and go, you're perfect for Harvard.

01:16:24.000 Exactly.

01:16:24.000 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.

01:16:31.000 Right.

01:16:31.000 Well, if I were the Harvard admissions, I would say, you know, I'd have a little fun with it.

01:16:34.000 I'd say, you're perfect for Harvard!

01:16:36.000 I'm kidding.

01:16:40.000 You'll have orientation!

01:16:42.000 Orientation!

01:16:43.000 I'm just joking, have fun.

01:16:44.000 Get it?

01:16:44.000 Yeah, maybe you could be like, you could, I don't know, you're right for Penn State.

01:16:49.000 You look like you could be molested in a shower. 0.99

01:16:51.000 Right, exactly. 0.97

01:16:52.000 I don't think they have that.

01:16:53.000 I don't think you're right for Brown! 1.00

01:16:55.000 You should apply to Yellow! 0.97

01:16:56.000 I'm kidding, welcome aboard.

01:16:58.000 You know, that's what I would do.

01:17:00.000 Gotta have a sense of humor about these things.

01:17:01.000 Because I'm colorblind.

01:17:03.000 You know who wrote really well about this, obviously?

01:17:06.000 Everything that he writes is fantastic.

01:17:08.000 Hitler? 0.62

01:17:08.000 Thomas Sowell. 0.62

01:17:09.000 Oh, it was Whoopi Goldberg.

01:17:10.000 Who wrote well about the Asians was Hitler. 0.95

01:17:14.000 It wasn't about racism. 0.97

01:17:16.000 I've had enough of your poops and giggles.

01:17:19.000 Right.

01:17:19.000 No, it's Thomas Sowell, who we had on the show.

01:17:22.000 This guy is one of the most brilliant thinkers out there.

01:17:24.000 Happens to be a black man, by the way, and he is against having affirmative action get

01:17:29.000 people into schools that they can't necessarily meet the standards for.

01:17:34.000 That will actually be a negative thing for them because if they go to a school that they

01:17:39.000 can perform at, it's like look at lottery winners.

01:17:41.000 What typically happens?

01:17:42.000 You're like, somebody who didn't earn the money, they get the money.

01:17:44.000 Hey, you have money now!

01:17:45.000 They tend to blow it all and be in poverty and lose it all.

01:17:48.000 He's saying the same thing.

01:17:49.000 I wanted a monster truck.

01:17:50.000 If they can't meet the academic standards, they'll get there and they will possibly fail and it will be crushing to them.

01:17:56.000 Whereas instead, they can go to a fantastic university that has great credentials and do exceedingly well.

01:18:02.000 Well, Thomas Sowell, or as if you guys watched our Wikipedia expose, as Wikipedia refers to him, not a reliable source.

01:18:10.000 We can't take Sowell!

01:18:11.000 Do you have any more of that Krugman?

01:18:13.000 Gimme gimme gimme! 1.00

01:18:14.000 I need Krugman!

01:18:15.000 I need Krugman!

01:18:16.000 Let's say this, you're from a horrible neighborhood, but you do attend school regularly.

01:18:21.000 That's right.

01:18:21.000 Yeah, for example.

01:18:22.000 All of it's right.

01:18:25.000 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.

01:18:33.000 Do you think there should be some sort of... No.

01:18:37.000 None whatsoever?

01:18:38.000 No.

01:18:39.000 No, because you know why?

01:18:40.000 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.

01:18:47.000 The guy was from Detroit, single mom, tried to stab her, it was only stopped by her belt buckle.

01:18:53.000 I didn't know that she wore a Kevlar belt buckle.

01:18:55.000 So he tried to stab his mom, and then just off the charts, brilliant, and made it. 0.99

01:19:00.000 And the thing is too, you have a lot of white people from crappy areas. 1.00

01:19:05.000 But I mean, was he an example of somebody who always was at the top of his game? 0.98

01:19:12.000 No, that's the thing.

01:19:13.000 He turned his life around.

01:19:14.000 He turned his life around.

01:19:15.000 He was in a very, very bad area, and he turned his life around.

01:19:18.000 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.

01:19:27.000 Here's what I would say.

01:19:29.000 I understand the point that you're making.

01:19:30.000 That's not a point.

01:19:31.000 It's a question.

01:19:32.000 Well, I understand the question, and I think it's based I think it comes from a place of empathy.

01:19:37.000 I think we're looking at the wrong place to start.

01:19:39.000 So let me offer a couple of quick solutions here, okay?

01:19:41.000 Before we talk about should there be some leniency, all right, that's like looking at a car.

01:19:45.000 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?

01:19:53.000 We just talked about earlier, do you guys remember?

01:19:55.000 Do you guys remember what it is?

01:19:56.000 The single greatest indicator that we have for economic success, for relationship success, for mental health?

01:20:03.000 Two parent households.

01:20:04.000 Okay.

01:20:05.000 So what do we need to do?

01:20:05.000 Let me give you a couple of easy solutions.

01:20:07.000 People say, well, what can we do about this?

01:20:08.000 This issue is so complicated of race and do we have more leniency from people who are in crappy neighborhoods?

01:20:13.000 Do we spend more money?

01:20:14.000 Well, hold on a second.

01:20:15.000 You're going to throw more money at it?

01:20:16.000 Because for people spending is higher in Detroit than on average.

01:20:19.000 For people spending is very high in DC, the worst schools in the country, then on average.

01:20:22.000 More money doesn't help it.

01:20:23.000 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?

01:20:27.000 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.

01:20:38.000 They end up with a worse economic outlook.

01:20:39.000 So those things don't work.

01:20:40.000 Here are some simple solutions when we talk about where we can start, okay?

01:20:44.000 First off, we've been talking about immigration here in this country.

01:20:46.000 We've been talking about getting people here.

01:20:48.000 We're talking about Asian Americans.

01:20:49.000 First, let's have a national language.

01:20:50.000 Okay?

01:20:51.000 Let's have a national language.

01:20:52.000 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.

01:20:59.000 Okay?

01:21:00.000 What else do we do?

01:21:01.000 Let's have some policy that encourages two-parent households. 1.00

01:21:04.000 Here's the thing.

01:21:05.000 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.

01:21:20.000 If you believe that...

01:21:22.000 Then you would have to acknowledge that the inverse is true.

01:21:25.000 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. 0.94

01:21:35.000 Ooh, again, people you align yourselves with.

01:21:37.000 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.

01:21:45.000 To incentivize, in any way, shape, or form, single-parent households.

01:21:48.000 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? 0.96

01:21:53.000 You get two welfare checks if you're not officially married, but if you're a couple, you only get one.

01:21:56.000 Let's get rid of—so it's that simple. 0.66

01:21:58.000 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.

01:22:10.000 Single-parent households.

01:22:11.000 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. 0.68

01:22:25.000 There's a starting point.

01:22:27.000 There's a solution.

01:22:28.000 If you agree, look, you can comment below.

01:22:29.000 You can smash that like button.

01:22:30.000 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.
