Transcript
00:00:00.000
Welcome to the podcast. It is Pat and Stu in for Glenn today, who is continuing with his back ailment.
00:00:07.360

Today, we do go into some wokeness. There's definitely some wokeness going on.
00:00:36.940
We get into some of the crazy stuff going on in our society.
00:00:39.840
They're banning episodes of TV now because there's too many things that are offensive, including, by the way, they've banned an episode of the Golden Girls.
00:00:49.680
And you're not going to believe the situation around that.
00:00:53.500
Also, the Washington Post has issued a correction of a major news story from late in the election cycle that may have affected the election.
00:01:02.200
They are saying, oh, yeah, by the way, we didn't have the audio and we totally misquoted the president.

And in the store, as we speak right now, Nancy Pelosi sucks pens.
00:01:33.100
Yes, these are the identical replicas of the pen that Nancy Pelosi signed the impeachment with,
00:01:40.420
with her fancy signature and her handwriting that just says Nancy Pelosi.
00:01:44.100
If you look really closely, it also says the word sucks.

Make sure to pick one up now while supplies last.
00:02:01.860
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:06.200
Pretty amazing admission by the Washington Post.
00:02:14.140
And they're kind of getting hammered for even bringing it up.
00:02:24.700
So in kind of a big moment to have a big moment.
00:02:31.260
the the president called down to Georgia and said,
00:02:37.040
hey, guys, can you look into this election thing?
00:02:39.020
I'm very upset with what happened with the election.
00:02:41.360
And he went through a lengthy call and we heard actual clips from this call.
00:02:45.760
However, most of the media went further than what we heard.
00:02:49.580
Now, we heard the audio and they had things in quotes.
00:02:53.880
So it's natural to assume, right, that they quoted him accurately, right?
00:03:01.000
Well, apparently what they're telling us now is they just had partial recordings of the call
00:03:04.800
and apparently ran these stories without hearing any of these quotes.
00:03:13.880
If you happen to be checking back on that story from a couple of months ago,
00:03:20.280
A lot of people go back and say, I wonder if they've updated that story from two months ago.
00:03:29.160
Correction, two months after publication of the story.
00:03:34.740
The Georgia Secretary of State released an audio recording of President Donald Trump's
00:03:38.760
December phone call with the state's top election investigator.
00:03:42.240
The recording revealed that the post misquoted Trump's comments on the call
00:03:49.660
Trump did not tell the investigator to, quote, find the fraud.
00:03:58.360
Because find the fraud sounds like he's actually asking them to do something nefarious.
00:04:05.700
You could take it a couple of different ways, but you could definitely take it that way.
00:04:08.580
And when you're getting a call from the president of the United States in this moment,
00:04:12.120
you probably would take it in the most, you know, I don't know, threatening way possible.
00:04:21.120
Trump has already the election has been certified and he's calling up to ask for him to go further
00:04:31.840
The bigger deal, though, of course, is that the two Georgia election Senate seats are not
00:04:38.500
Remember, these elections come they come out and it's very close.
00:04:44.840
Could this have been the determinative factor in control of the Senate?
00:04:50.780
Trump did not tell investigators to find the fraud or say she would be, quote, a national
00:04:57.700
Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, asserting she
00:05:04.420
He told her that he had, quote, the most important.
00:05:07.100
She had, quote, the most important job in the country right now.
00:05:09.860
The story about the recording can be found here.
00:05:11.880
The headline and text of the story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to
00:05:16.660
Now, this is not some local, you know, random paper.
00:05:20.820
This is the Washington Post giving the definitive story about this particular phone call.
00:05:26.740
And worse than misquoting him is actually writing the story without hearing the audio.
00:05:33.740
You know, you know, it's like you have to you have to just it's impossible to for me to
00:05:41.600
understand anything other than they just were hoping they'd get away with this and that Trump
00:05:50.760
So this whole Trump story would cost the Republicans the Senate, which it wound up doing, arguably.
00:05:57.480
And now here we are with 50 seats and one point nine trillion dollars already spent with more
00:06:04.260
It's impossible to understand that something like this could happen by mistake in 2021.
00:06:18.820
It happens only because these reporters hate Donald Trump and they just assume certain things
00:06:25.880
about him and they assume and assert, insert certain things about him to fit their narrative.
00:06:34.740
And it doesn't matter how much he protests or says.
00:06:38.920
And I don't even know that he said anything about it.
00:06:44.760
I don't know if he said much about maybe their misquotes.
00:06:47.880
I mean, I don't know that anyone would have listened to him anyway.
00:06:53.880
Now, of course, this is one of the things that is part of the after effects of not having
00:06:59.460
I mean, he really wasn't speaking out to anybody at this point.
00:07:04.200
But he he didn't really have a way to kind of reach out and say, I never said those things
00:07:11.880
You kind of expect to hear that from Trump in this moment.
00:07:14.500
But obviously, there's a lot of big things going on at that time.
00:07:19.720
But either way, it's impossible to understand how this can happen.
00:07:23.160
And it's not something you can just throw in a correction months later.
00:07:25.660
It should be a major story for The Washington Post on the front page that says, we really
00:07:33.920
That's the only way it's acceptable to do something like this.
00:07:39.020
And even then, it's it's it's journalism just turned upside down.
00:07:46.500
It's malpractice to a degree that you can't imagine in an incredibly important moment for
00:07:56.680
So he didn't tell the investigator to, quote, find the fraud, unquote, or and he didn't say
00:08:03.260
that she would be, quote, a national hero, unquote, if if she did so.
00:08:08.400
So instead, he urged the investigator to scrutinize ballot ballots in Fulton County.
00:08:14.860
Scrutinize them, asserting she would find dishonesty there.
00:08:18.920
He also told her that she had the most important job in the country.
00:08:22.660
And so then they include some of the some of the recordings and and the whole story is
00:08:41.560
It's the president of the United States that you grossly misquoted and you don't care about
00:08:52.100
And so expected at this point, you know, we, I think, do a fair job, at least attempt to
00:08:57.740
do a fair job in occasionally giving mainstream media credit when they do good things.
00:09:02.720
You know, I'm not the type of person who's going to throw out every single story from
00:09:06.160
the mainstream media and just say, oh, they're always lying.
00:09:08.220
Like, for example, The New York Times has done really good reporting on Andrew Cuomo over
00:09:12.980
the past couple of months, which, again, they waited a long time.
00:09:18.160
But I'm glad they're on board and they have been able to to find multiple accusers.
00:09:25.320
They've been able to dig up lots of information that, you know, only maybe The New York Times
00:09:30.820
I mean, The New York Times has so many resources to go after these things.
00:09:33.840
And when they actually put their mind to it, they can do some good reporting.
00:09:40.000
I mean, they have done some valuable reporting over the years, but things like this are just
00:09:45.160
And it becomes the easiest thing in the world, Pat, to have at your at your beck and call
00:09:51.980
when everything you see always reinforces your previous beliefs.
00:09:57.580
If you believe Donald Trump is a bad guy, that he's erratic, that he's going to do all
00:10:01.580
these terrible things, then every story you cover, you just insert that in there and assume
00:10:08.740
So when you have a source telling you he said X, Y and Z and you have no evidence of that,
00:10:17.860
Like if you're if you're priors going into the story are this man is a terrible person,
00:10:22.940
then any person, anybody who tells you that they have information that proves Donald Trump
00:10:29.460
is a terrible person, you just kind of go ahead and assume that's true.
00:10:34.820
It's you know, it's like a weekly world news who is as it has invested heavily in the idea
00:10:39.480
that that bat bat child, the bat child is around and available for comment at any time
00:10:45.400
Well, if someone comes and says, hey, by the way, the bat child just said X, Y and Z,
00:10:49.420
you're going to believe it because your priors are you believe the bat child exists against
00:10:55.840
And of course, obviously, he's a very nice guy.
00:10:59.400
A point is you can't apply that highly respected sources.
00:11:05.500
But you can't apply your whole the whole point of journalism is not to apply your priors.
00:11:12.460
If you do that, you will go down roads in which you're issuing multi paragraph corrections
00:11:20.520
It's interesting, too, because both the New York Times and the Washington Post have always
00:11:30.640
In previous decades, you could just count on them for a little spin.
00:11:38.580
Well, now they're just propaganda arms for the Democrat Party.
00:11:42.420
That's they they've just wholeheartedly bought in to left wing propaganda.
00:11:50.720
And so I think that colors everything that they do, including when the Washington Post misquotes
00:12:00.060
the president, then the other outlets just pick it up and run with it.
00:12:07.140
They just picked it up and repeated the same lie.
00:12:09.360
And so then you have everybody spewing this lie.
00:12:16.460
Well, I mean, the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN are all saying it can't be a lie.
00:12:25.980
And I think this happens a lot more than we even know.
00:12:28.800
That's terrifying because I feel like in this era, we do catch it more often, you know,
00:12:34.780
with people always looking at everything and social media and you can find these things
00:12:40.280
And we do, I think, catch more of them these days.
00:12:44.540
You know, we talked about this with with the Chris Cuomo situation, I think, a little
00:12:48.140
bit yesterday and that I think there really was a time in which CNN would come out and
00:12:57.500
You know, like we shouldn't have had the brother of the governor doing a slapstick comedy in
00:13:09.260
But at least they would admit they would feel at least the tug of of having some sort of
00:13:16.080
They wouldn't necessarily follow through with it, but they would feel weird about it.
00:13:22.960
Andrew Cuomo is is down this line, you know, where you don't have that natural human tug
00:13:32.660
Everybody says things that are false in their lives.
00:13:35.880
Hopefully you're the type of person who when you say something and, you know, it's not
00:13:39.340
kind of true, you kind of feel that internal sort of struggle a little bit.
00:13:44.840
You're like, this isn't exactly the way I should say this, but I feel like I have to at
00:13:52.180
There's something that at least tugs at your integrity.
00:13:55.600
You know, Andrew Cuomo has, you know, no connection to integrity in any way.
00:14:01.880
Everything he says, he says without that feeling.
00:14:08.620
So when he says things that are complete lies that cost the lives of thousands of people,
00:14:13.780
there's nothing in him that says, gee, I shouldn't say this.
00:14:18.920
Maybe you shouldn't be lying about a thousand grandparents being dead.
00:14:24.860
He just goes along through it because to Andrew Cuomo, the most important thing, of course,
00:14:30.320
And I think we have too many people in the media now who have that same thing.
00:14:34.880
I think CNN, this Cuomo thing seems to have passed that line where they no longer feel
00:14:44.660
We think we did a lot of great coverage about the COVID-19, but this was we shouldn't have
00:14:55.860
And I think the same thing is happening with some of these media sources now.
00:14:58.740
They never felt the need to have that internal debate about Donald Trump because they just
00:15:07.700
all assumed he was Satan times Hitler multiplied by Idi Amin.
00:15:16.200
And no one's going to say, hey, you know, you misquoted Hitler.
00:15:23.160
Everyone's going to be like, yeah, well, he was a really bad guy.
00:15:26.700
If you assume he's Hitler before you write this story, you have a lot of freedom to kind
00:15:40.960
So the White House is expected to propose a suite of tax increases, like when you have
00:15:57.820
a master bedroom suite, just a whole bunch of real wonderful tax increases all rolled
00:16:08.460
The tax hikes will include, they'll be included in a broader infrastructure and jobs package.
00:16:19.760
Because when are we going to, when will we finally allot some money for infrastructure?
00:16:29.180
We need a national conversation on infrastructure, Pat.
00:16:35.400
People just don't want to constantly talk about infrastructure all the time.
00:16:45.900
We're going to fix our broken roads and bridges.
00:16:57.840
Because that was supposed to fix the infrastructure.
00:17:00.280
It's not even real money anymore if it doesn't start with a T.
00:17:02.420
If we can't get it at least into the trillions, then it's not even a bill.
00:17:07.900
Well, this one will be in the trillions, fortunately.
00:17:10.580
And they're going to raise the corporate tax rate as well from 21 to 28 percent.
00:17:19.640
That's exciting to corporations who will really want to stay here now.
00:17:23.700
The one thing that's interesting about that is every single study they do about the corporate tax rate is they find that that just gets passed to you.
00:17:38.660
That they would pass along their expenses to us.
00:17:44.100
Because I always felt like they just, out of the goodness of their heart, just, you know.
00:17:50.800
Or maybe they would just go into loss from profit to loss.
00:17:58.460
They're going to raise the income tax rate on individuals earning more than $400,000.
00:18:12.660
I don't know if you know this, Mitt Romney never paid any taxes.
00:18:17.920
He needs to address it, which he did do, but we didn't believe him.
00:18:21.500
And then we later admitted that everyone lied about it.
00:18:28.120
Anyone who makes money in this society is evil.
00:18:35.300
Because then they're doing good things with it.
00:18:39.700
Building new, fancy, state-of-the-art abortion clinics.
00:18:44.020
Abortion clinics that can churn out an abortion every 11 seconds.
00:19:07.400
We're going to, finally, they're going to expand the estate taxes reach.
00:19:14.460
Because when you've paid your taxes all your life on everything you've ever made, and then
00:19:22.140
you die, well, then the government has a right to easily 50% of what you have.
00:19:34.400
Why would you allow them to give it to their family or whoever they wanted to?
00:19:41.360
You'd insist that the government take their fair share of it.
00:19:48.120
You make some money, and the government taxes you on that money.
00:19:53.100
And with that left over money, you go purchase something, and then you pay a sales tax when
00:19:58.400
you purchase that, obviously, because that's just fair.
00:20:02.200
Then you take that money, and maybe that thing that you bought grows in value over time.
00:20:08.000
Well, in that case, just would just tax that growth.
00:20:14.960
And then when you die, they just take half of what's left.
00:20:17.860
Like, that seems completely legitimate and fair and not a scam.
00:20:24.740
Especially, what's amazing is even with those rules, they still are in debt.
00:20:33.460
And they're still somehow unable to run this government at a surplus.
00:20:39.340
Also, they're talking about a higher capital gains tax rate, too, for individuals earning
00:20:45.080
That's the one that they asked Barack Obama about back in the day.
00:20:49.520
And they said, every single time that this has been lowered, we've received more revenue
00:20:56.900
to the government because it increases activity.
00:21:00.620
And Barack Obama didn't really have a good answer to that.
00:21:03.120
No, his response was, if I'm not mistaken, that in the interest of fairness, he still
00:21:14.040
In other words, punish the rich people, even if it doesn't help society.
00:21:20.760
It doesn't matter whether it's good for the country.
00:21:33.940
So, White House economist Heather Boushey underlined that Biden doesn't intend to boost
00:21:48.140
He just doesn't intend to, right now, to boost taxes on people earning less than $400,000.
00:22:05.420
So, if you intend, if you say like, hey, I'm not gonna...
00:22:08.860
I don't intend on raising taxes on people who are middle class making $50,000 a year,
00:22:13.580
but then you do it, you're still nine-tenths okay.
00:22:26.260
You know, but for folks at the top who've been able to benefit from this economy and
00:22:32.040
haven't been this hard hit, there's a lot of room to think about what kinds of revenue
00:22:41.840
Even if it brings in less revenue, let's just punish those people who wear suits and
00:22:47.680
And seriously, that's what Barack Obama was saying.
00:22:50.220
Because if it doesn't benefit the country, why do it then?
00:22:54.400
You could argue, okay, well, yes, you're stealing people's money, but hey, at least it helps the
00:22:59.780
That's supposed to be the liberal conservative divide, right?
00:23:03.420
Conservatives are focused on individuals being able to hold what they earn and be responsible
00:23:14.100
And the left is supposed to say, well, no, we're going to take their money and we're going
00:23:18.640
Barack Obama was saying, no, actually, I don't care if it's being distributed more efficiently.
00:23:26.460
Because it makes it more fair for people who are making less than they are.
00:23:29.320
They don't have to be quite as jealous, I guess.
00:23:38.060
The Tax Policy Center estimated this will raise $2.1 trillion over a decade, though the
00:23:48.220
The overall program, though, has yet to be unveiled.
00:23:51.220
But analysts are saying somewhere between $2 and $4 trillion.
00:24:06.000
When you think it could be a quadrillion, this is a really conservative plan.
00:24:11.340
I mean, this is basically a tax cut from the $1 quadrillion plan.
00:24:22.200
A quadrillion dollar bill would be, I mean, conservative in that world.
00:24:27.220
So let's just think that they offered a $1 quintillion dollar bill and we got it down
00:24:34.140
It's like when somebody was complaining to Barack Obama that the unemployment rate was
00:24:43.140
And he said, well, at least it's not 13 or 14 or 15%.
00:24:51.200
So it seems when it could be 15%, 10% seems pretty good.
00:24:58.280
There could be every person in America without a job.
00:25:09.380
And Barack Obama was able to keep it at only the highest it's been in a really long time.
00:25:15.140
It was only like 9.8% or something, I think, at its peak, which was not bad at all.
00:25:27.660
All you need is a giant global pandemic or Barack Obama's policies.
00:25:32.920
And look, Biden's approval rating right now is 62%, by the way, 62%.
00:25:46.900
In order for it to be 62%, there's got to be quite a few Republicans who are thinking,
00:25:57.120
If you are a Republican and you think he's doing a good job, what is the matter with you?
00:26:07.360
You know, and it's been, he's been in the positive the entire time.
00:26:11.680
And part of that, I think, is that people don't really remember he's president because
00:26:21.540
You know, I was talking to someone yesterday and they said to me, I mean, is Jen Psaki
00:26:27.580
Because we never hear anything from Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, for that matter.
00:26:32.240
You just hear stuff from Jen Psaki coming out and addressing this.
00:26:36.500
It's an NPR, PBS NewsHour Marist poll finding Joe Biden at 62% approval, 30% disapproval,
00:26:53.560
30% of Republicans, 22% of Trump supporters say they approve of Biden's handling of the
00:27:03.460
You know, higher than you'd think in this sort of divisive environment.
00:27:07.380
Is 62% the overall approval rating or is that the pandemic approval?
00:27:20.960
I think his actual approval rating is in the mid-50s when it comes to...
00:27:26.720
And again, you know, this is, you can go back and you could take what you want out of polls.
00:27:31.660
But, you know, Donald Trump was never in the mid-50s in his entire presidency.
00:27:37.640
He only got to 50, I think, in Rasmussen, didn't he?
00:27:40.100
I think Rasmussen, he hit it a couple of times.
00:27:43.200
And that's just, you know, he was obviously a divisive figure.
00:27:46.820
Their goal, though, here with Biden is to make him a non-figure.
00:27:51.500
Like, you don't know who the president is because you never see or hear from them.
00:27:55.480
And occasionally he'll come out and he'll give an award to some military guy.
00:27:58.940
And then you won't hear from him for another month.
00:28:04.120
They're passing these bills without introducing you to him.
00:28:14.100
Because it was really just a do you like Trump or do you not like Trump sort of election.
00:28:18.400
So Biden is coming in here and he's getting things done that would be very difficult to do in a different environment.
00:28:24.020
Because when he does come out and speak, he says things like this.
00:28:27.160
The vast majority of economists left, right, and center.
00:28:30.960
From Wall Street to the private economic polling initiatives.
00:29:01.980
How many times, Pat, have we talked about the private economic polling initiatives?
00:29:10.820
You know what they're going to talk about most in the future are the private economic polling initiatives.
00:29:17.260
And you're going to be sorry you didn't entertain it before then.
00:29:34.460
So, speaking of fabulous television viewing here, Pat, one of the things...
00:29:51.220
Do you do this where you have an old show that you've watched before, like sort of just
00:29:59.120
And you might just flip it on when you're getting ready for bed or you have a couple
00:30:07.320
Like when I'm doing bills sometimes, I will just throw on, you know, some TV show that
00:30:12.260
So, I don't really need to pay attention to it.
00:30:15.700
I'm mostly working, but it's kind of in the background.
00:30:18.400
So, one of the shows I do that with, and I've been doing for a little while here, is It's
00:30:24.780
So, it's, you know, sort of an edgy comedy, if you've never seen it before.
00:30:32.020
They push the envelope on certain issues throughout.
00:30:35.540
And it's been interesting to watch it, because I've been watching it from the beginning.
00:30:38.940
You know, one episode of, you know, every day or two.
00:30:42.440
And the change you kind of notice in that the really early seasons, they say all sorts
00:30:48.480
of crap that I cannot believe they get away with.
00:30:51.440
Like, it just, they just go so far in every episode.
00:30:55.740
And you kind of notice the transition a little bit, and it seemed like maybe they were getting
00:31:03.860
They wouldn't push the envelope quite as much as it went on, which kind of it would expect.
00:31:08.420
But yesterday, I'm watching, it was season eight, episode one.
00:31:14.680
And at the bottom, when the episode ends, the little box pops up.
00:31:19.280
You know, and it says, next up, season eight, episode two.
00:31:29.000
And I looked at it, and I'm like, aren't I on season, episode one?
00:31:33.540
You see, episode two, Pat, has been deleted from the service.
00:31:39.580
It is no longer part of the series, apparently.
00:31:43.600
And I thought, wait a minute, this is unbelievable.
00:31:45.960
So I went online, and I started to search to see if I could find anything about this particular
00:31:52.640
And yes, it actually has been removed from the streaming services, but it's not the only
00:32:01.320
I was like, I remember this being more offensive.
00:32:04.380
And part of it is because they've removed episodes from previous seasons that I didn't
00:32:10.520
So season eight, episode three, or episode two, is called The Gang Recycles Their Trash.
00:32:17.440
And Dee, who's the female character on the show, is a failing comedian.
00:32:22.180
She tries to do these characters, and she's awful at them, which is really, really funny.
00:32:27.940
And one of the reasons why it's funny is she's a failed comedian.
00:32:31.580
She thinks she's funny, and she's trying to do like this old school racial stereotype humor.
00:32:35.940
And the point of it is to show that she's blatantly a racist and a terrible person.
00:32:42.740
The whole show is about how bad these people are, right?
00:32:46.040
That's the whole point of the show, is to show them doing terrible things, and you laugh
00:32:55.240
Well, apparently, they count her character, Martina Martinez, as blackface.
00:33:02.600
Because I would say she looks tan in the episode, but I guess they're counting that as blackface.
00:33:09.080
Now, they've now ripped five episodes out of the show off of Hulu, which is...
00:33:17.600
America's Next Top Patty's Billboard Model Contest, which her fake comedian is in, Martina
00:33:27.980
Like, if you know anyone who's ever watched this show, they remade Lethal...
00:33:33.860
And, of course, one of the horrible white characters has to be Danny Glover.
00:33:39.560
So, in Lethal Weapon 5 and Lethal Weapon 6, they do use blackface in the art.
00:33:48.180
Unlike we talked about yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel, who used blackface just to mock a black
00:33:53.320
person in how they talked, this is like them mocking themselves for being idiots, right?
00:34:06.400
Which is so bizarre and so stupid, because the context should matter.
00:34:14.260
It's all that matters in a situation like this.
00:34:20.820
But you're a racist if you think context matters.
00:34:23.320
Because if this happened, then there are, you know, there is no reason for it.
00:34:32.880
And so, you're a racist if you think that context matters now.
00:34:38.340
You know, Donald McNeil, who was the lead star reporter for The New York Times on COVID-19
00:34:46.880
He's a guy who's, you know, I didn't agree with everything he said, but he was the guy
00:34:51.160
who said it was going to be a big deal in January and February.
00:34:53.680
Like, he was one of these guys who was making a big deal about it.
00:34:56.020
He's been covering infectious diseases across the world for 40 years for The New York Times.
00:35:02.740
And he was just fired because he was on a trip with a bunch of students who asked him a question
00:35:11.020
about whether it was okay to use the N-word in a certain circumstance.
00:35:17.020
Like, are you talking about, like, someone saying it as a racial slur or someone, like,
00:35:21.800
And at some point in his search for an explanation, he said the word out loud.
00:35:28.040
And that, of course, was enough for him to be fired because of all the woke staff all over the place.
00:35:36.400
You know, and it's funny because I'm watching season eight, episode one of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,
00:35:42.980
which how this one gets through and how the other episodes around it get banned because of blackface,
00:35:51.800
which are not, there's not a lot of, you know, it's more of them being idiots thinking they could get away with blackface.
00:35:58.840
Like, they are so disconnected from the world that they think that this is appropriate, right?
00:36:06.080
These, you know, they obviously have all sorts of issues.
00:36:08.140
I mean, Mac in the show is basically a racist throughout.
00:36:12.240
But the episode before is basically nonstop Nazi jokes.
00:36:17.940
And one of their grandfathers is, was a former Nazi.
00:36:23.780
And they're talking about, they play footage from their old camp back in the day,
00:36:28.300
which they later in life realized was a Nazi camp.
00:36:31.000
And literally, not only are they saying all sorts of really offensive things about Jews,
00:36:40.420
It's actually said by one of the characters in the episode with no edit.
00:36:45.600
That one's still up there, but the next one is out because they're making fun of like lethal weapon or something.
00:36:56.260
There is one in here, which is absolutely amazing.
00:36:59.180
All the episodes from streaming services that have been pulled off because of blackface.
00:37:02.840
And let me give you the best one first, because I can't resist.
00:37:06.380
Hulu has removed an episode of The Golden Girls.
00:37:16.600
The Golden Girls had a blackface episode, apparently.
00:37:19.080
First of all, this sounds, I mean, I know you're not supposed to like these things because they're so offensive,
00:37:27.240
It's not streaming because there's a scene where Betty White and Rue McClanahan introduce themselves to a black character while wearing a mud mask that is mistaken for blackface.
00:37:39.000
That sounds like an incredible half hour of television.
00:37:50.880
Because a character mistakes a mud mask for blackface, they removed an episode of The Freaking Golden Girls.
00:37:58.620
Is Betty White the least offensive person in human history?
00:38:15.480
Another example, there's a show called With Bob and David.
00:38:19.120
Now, if you know back in the day, Mr. Show with Bob and David was on HBO.
00:38:27.080
And Netflix did one season of sort of a revival, which they called With Bob and David.
00:38:31.660
In 2015, in this episode, David Cross, who is super liberal, like probably the most liberal person in our society,
00:38:42.580
he dresses up and at one point, he's doing a thing where he's trying,
00:38:49.560
he's like, you know, these YouTube videos where you're trying, like,
00:38:53.640
I'm going to show you what your rights are as a citizen when you get pulled over on the side of the road.
00:39:00.480
He's trying to do his own like a little viral video.
00:39:02.140
And he's trying to make the point at one point in the sketch that if he puts on blackface,
00:39:07.180
he will automatically get arrested because he's black.
00:39:12.320
Like, that's, you know, it's, I mean, it's a funny, it's, you know,
00:39:15.220
I'm summarizing here, obviously, but it's a very funny sketch.
00:39:17.800
But they removed it from the show because he was wearing blackface
00:39:22.280
in an effort to say the liberal point that white cops will just arrest black people for no reason.
00:39:31.360
He's actually making the liberal point and they still pull it off.
00:39:35.360
Sarah Silverman, we talked about Sarah Silverman yesterday.
00:39:38.280
She lost a job because of a sketch she did in blackface.
00:39:43.180
They did move, Scrubs has lost three episodes of their show from the streaming services.
00:39:49.460
The Office has lost an episode, which I don't, I don't remember an Office blackface scene,
00:39:57.720
but there is a lot that is, that is offensive in that show.
00:40:11.040
You know, for Hollywood lecturing us about racism all the time,
00:40:20.760
But some of these examples are completely ridiculous with Golden Girls,
