00:01:53.000Even when someone offers you a drink, like there's a thing in New York, and I don't see this anywhere else, where the guys will go, I'll pay, I'm getting that one.
00:05:35.000Well, Trump launched his campaign yesterday at around 8 o'clock.
00:05:39.000o'clock at night he delivered a speech in florida that must have had a hundred thousand people there no actually only i think 10 or 15 000 could fit in the stadium it was in a giant airplane hangar but there was tens of thousands outside and you look at these anti-Trump rallies impeach Trump and you see a smattering of people Hillary, Jeb Bush, who's the Molester guy?
00:09:41.000We could watch it later where some kid, some animal rights activist grabs a guy's fish and throws it into the water to save the fish's life.
00:09:47.000And everyone's on the phone calling the police, calling the park boards.
00:11:09.000One time they were in Saudi Arabia and some chic, Sikh, chic, no chic, says to him, oh, I'm so happy that you brought your mother to this meeting.
00:11:30.000Or that'd be funny if you see a guy's wife and you think you're being flattering and you go, well, what did you have him when you were eight years old?
00:17:55.000I am deeply, from the bottom of my heart, hey, guys.
00:18:12.000I know that you, you know, we try to avoid race on this show because it's seen as racist, but there are white people, black people, Jews, and Asians, basically.
00:18:22.000And each group has their funniest member.
00:18:25.000Funniest Jew, the funniest black, the funniest white, the funniest Asian.
00:18:28.000Well, I thought you might want to meet the funniest Asian.
00:18:30.000I know you might think it's my counterpart, Ryan Katsu Rivera.
00:19:36.000And he's decided to amuse them by torturing this woman, this humorless cow, and making her explain heron a hundred times, which is one of the easiest words in the world to spell.
00:20:50.000This is one thing that Sasha Baron Cohen tries to capitalize on, which I think he fails at because he'll have, you know, children who were murdered in an Israeli kindergarten or a guy who survived a massive attack in Afghanistan who wants a waterboarding thing signed by Dick Cheney.
00:23:19.000I like to keep the show kind of fun, but occasionally let's just rail at the evil that is going on in this country, the fake news that we are told.
00:23:31.000Mom, it's the British newspaper, is accused of beheading her son a year after.
00:26:58.000Unlike Heather Heyer, where we hear about it every single day and every time white supremacy comes up, we have to hear about how it's killing people.
00:27:11.000But yeah, a year after these mentally ill lesbians mutilated this nine-year-old boy's penis, they also cut his face off, gouged his eyes out with a knife, cut him into small pieces, tried to incinerate his body on a barbecue.
00:27:25.000They were too stupid to figure that out, so they eventually put him in a suitcase and threw him in the sewer.
00:27:31.000I hope that their fellow prisoners can dole out a little more punishment than just jail, because this doesn't deserve simply sitting in a cell.
00:27:44.000This deserves the same sadism that they doled out.
00:27:50.000Speaking of sentencing, check out this other story that made me furious.
00:27:56.000A Canadian man who aided in the 2009 murder of five American soldiers in Iraq was sentenced to 26 years in jail by a Brooklyn federal judge Tuesday despite objections from the victims' families.
00:28:10.000You notice we've totally forgotten about the victims' families.
00:28:29.000And they were exonerated in order to take his confession.
00:28:32.000They may not have raped her, but they were there during the rape, holding her legs down and robbing her and beating her within an inch of her life.
00:28:41.000Beating her so severely that she, the prost the detectives just treated it as a homicide because they assumed she wouldn't be coming back from that.
00:28:51.000She now does lectures about brain damage to brain surgeons.
00:29:00.000My wife subscribes to Vanity Fair and it came with a supplement, an awards supplement.
00:29:04.000And there was Ava DuVernay holding one of the black actors, who's a little tiny sweet boy in the movie, as opposed to a tall teenager who was raping chicks.
00:29:15.000And it's all about the Central Park Five and justice and how it's not...
00:29:23.000They never show her pictures in articles about Ava's Netflix movie.
00:29:30.000It's just about the way we see people and how wrong it is, how evil we can be.
00:32:02.000Over having emotional support puppies as 15% are axed.
00:32:07.000I remember there was a story a few years ago about a bunch of interns who had to have a dress coat at this corporation they were working at.
00:32:14.000So the interns went on strike and said, we don't want to have to wear a suit and tie at this stupid corporation.
00:32:20.000And the corporation said, well, you're fired, dummies.
00:33:18.000Jonah Peretti has started a bunch of businesses, and he does things like he, see if you can look this up.
00:33:26.000Jonah Peretti, he took on the identity of John Lott, the gun expert, and then had a website where you could email John Lott at thewebsite.com.
00:33:34.000John Lott had to sue him to stop him smearing his name.
00:33:38.000He also had a dating app he was working on, and there was some like Valentine's special thing.
00:34:02.000He also started a dating app thing, and he took on the guy's name.
00:34:08.000The dating guy joined John on this website because he didn't have anyone.
00:34:11.000Yeah, Joan F. Predty set up the website jeffgoldblatt.com under the pretense that it was Goldblatt's personal website.
00:34:17.000Predi sent out emails from me at jeffgoldblatt.com that, according to Goldblatt, contained multiple lies about me and portrayed me as an arrogant jerk who was bragging about how I stole the idea of the New York City rejection line.
00:34:29.000So this article is about two personalities that Jonah Paretti subsumed in order to defame them so he could be more successful at his particular job.
00:34:42.000Anyway, go back to Matt's thing, because that was a tangent.
00:34:46.000I just find it interesting that these dunce caps, they just squeeze and squeeze the hand that feeds them and then get bit and go, oh.
00:34:59.000It's like those Antifa pink kids who got punched in the face with a helmet on the end of yesterday's show and you see one of them just going like, what the hell just happened?
00:36:37.000You look like something under the Star Wars bar.
00:36:41.000Well, the worst part is when you're on an airplane and one of them falls out when they're taken off and it just shoots all the way to the back of the plane.
00:38:30.000God, we're not out of sleep over, you dunce.
00:38:34.000So you started parlay, and it seems to be very similar to Twitter.
00:38:39.000And a lot of people are heading over there, especially in the past three weeks, I've noticed.
00:38:43.000Would you say that you are the new Twitter?
00:38:49.000I think that we're doing what Twitter should have done when they started.
00:38:52.000I think we're going to be catching up.
00:38:54.000By no means can I call us the new Twitter right now because we don't have like 4,000 employees to constantly keep everything running smoothly.
00:39:00.000but I definitely think we're a great contender.
00:39:04.000And I think we're going to do a lot more than Twitter.
00:39:06.000They've been basically stagnant for like three years.
00:39:09.000I don't think they've really done anything interesting or new, you know, other than censoring people.
00:39:16.000Now, what are the copyright parameters?
00:39:27.000Well, I mean, everyone has direct messages.
00:39:29.000There's nothing unique or interesting about that.
00:39:31.000And, you know, the way we're going to be doing it is different than how they do it and how a lot of other sites do it.
00:39:36.000And we eventually introduce DMs because we don't have them today.
00:39:39.000We're trying to do it in a way that's more secure and more focused on privacy of individuals talking to one another without us being able to see their messages.
00:39:47.000So you're trying to give yourself less power, less rights.
00:39:51.000Yeah, I think that's really important now.
00:39:54.000I mean, look, I understand why Twitter did it.
00:39:58.000This is all like the, you know, Facebook, all these guys.
00:40:02.000They all want more power because it gives them more leverage, more control, and more money.
00:40:05.000But the reality is it's very short-sighted, in my opinion, because they're going to go out of business doing that.
00:40:12.000They're going to disenfranchise their user base, abuse their trust, and it's not going to work.
00:40:16.000They're huge now, but they're not going to be in five years.
00:40:18.000Yeah, I think when you kill the conversation, you just get in this bubble.
00:40:22.000Like I just read a second ago on parlay, by the way, that the MTV Music Awards, their viewership has gone down 36%, despite the show being forced onto like 20 different channels.
00:40:35.000And I think it's because of political correctness and wanting to please everyone and eschewing meritocracy.
00:40:42.000And you get to the point where you're just in a babysitter's head and it's not fun anymore.
00:41:17.000People are leaving because they just don't want to get yelled at by internet trolls on the left, who are actually really bad trolls, too.
00:41:23.000Yeah, the vitriol you get from the left, they're all about love and they hate hate.
00:41:28.000And they just talk, they talk in a weird way.
00:41:29.000Even I remember back in Sarah Palin days, I was talking to Anthony Bourdain, and he said, it was in private, but he's dead now, so whatever.
00:41:38.000He said, yeah, I'd love to cut her skin off in slow, long strips.
00:41:44.000Like the way the left talks about their enemies, it sounds like the South African farmers.
00:42:18.000And then you get two groups, the Holocaust-denying anti-Semites and the didn't do nothings with the racist cartoon black joke things.
00:42:27.000And you go, oh, that makes me uncomfortable, but maybe I need to be uncomfortable.
00:42:30.000And then it's like putting a drop of blank ink into a glass of water.
00:42:35.000They just spread and spread and just dominate the conversation.
00:42:40.000Yeah, we do eliminate things, but it's only things that are not allowed by the FCC.
00:42:49.000So we kind of want to base everything in law.
00:42:51.000So if we can find precedence in the FCC or we can find precedence in the Supreme Court, then we'll throw that in there as our rules.
00:42:58.000And we've got a chart and try to make it really easy.
00:43:01.000So technically, we do allow racist things because it's hard to define what racism is specifically to the point where, okay, is racism now making fun of somebody's, I don't know, illegal or versus legal citizenship status?
00:43:15.000At what point do you draw the line, right?
00:43:18.000So what we're doing is trying to find a basis in the FCC, which typically means that when these crazy anti-Semites and other people get on there, they generally jump to violence pretty quick, which makes it very easy to boot them off.
00:43:34.000So we've kicked off a few neo-Nazis already just because they jump to violence so fast, and we just don't tolerate that.
00:43:43.000Yeah, I mean, if you look at the political spectrum, my mustache is in the middle.
00:44:10.000But it's like you get rid of a few genuinely mentally ill anti-Semites, and then you say, okay, well, now that I've done that, let's get rid of anyone who doesn't like the teachers' union.
00:44:20.000You get a little bit of a power rush, and you go, okay, let's start banning more and more people.
00:44:24.000The reality is, is they're like a rogue dictatorship.
00:44:26.000They just have some guy in charge who just makes arbitrary decisions and they don't really have any direction or basis in something like bigger than them, if you will.
00:44:34.000And that's why we picked the Supreme Court.
00:44:37.000Well, you seem to know what you're talking about.
00:44:38.000You seem to have things under control.
00:44:40.000We just did some research here, and Twitter, as of this morning, on the NASDAQ, is worth 16 zillion, kajillion, nillion, billion.
00:44:55.000At this rate, I'm going to be happy if I sleep right now.
00:44:58.000That's kind of where I'm concerned with.
00:45:00.000But there's a lot of very interesting and prominent and wealthy people involved in the platform in terms of like showing interest in investing and getting this thing to grow.
00:45:28.000So you weren't that well known a month ago, and then there was some fake news that Trump was moving to parlay, and everything just exploded.
00:46:11.000He did a good job, but I mean, then he just threw out this fake news at the end, I think, to make his article popular.
00:46:19.000Yeah, well, another funny, interesting thing about you, nobody knows, is you're not really into pop culture or, you know, the political icons.
00:48:33.000I'm glad that our nerds, first of all, I'm surprised they're breathtakingly gorgeous, but I'm glad that our nerds are focused on what's important and not wasting their time with Eddie Van Halen's friend's guitar.
00:49:21.000We haven't had any major hackings yet.
00:49:25.000But we have had a hacking group attack us and then give us a sheet afterwards telling us what they attacked us over, which was kind of nice of them.
00:49:35.000But really, the biggest part right now has been mostly political.
00:49:43.000I mean, I knew we were going to get attacked by the left, but I didn't, I mean, because I'm not right-leaning, by the way.
00:54:25.000Or go to one of those giant tankers with the nets that take in approximately nine jajillion, zillion, billion fish, more than the GDP of Google and Twitter combined.
00:55:24.000That's the other problem, too, with all this litigation, right?
00:55:27.000Like when Nick DiPaulo got punched in the face by that woman at the comedy show, he just has to sit there and call the police and threaten to sue her.
00:56:02.000I'm not saying you should randomly punch people in the face, but I am saying you shouldn't call the cops every time there's a slight conflict and get authorities involved and document it.
00:56:12.000Can we solve our own problems, please?
00:56:14.000We're living in a climate of fear where everyone's so petrified of ramifications.
