Jonah Goldberg's new book 'The Tyranny of Clichés' is out now, and it's a good one. He talks about how he got started in comedy, and why he thinks people should wear masks in public.

00:13:07.000But yeah, lady, you need to do less speed, and you need a father in the house to explain to you that all currencies are contingent on limitations.
00:13:16.000Even when we were cave people and we exchanged little rocks, it was based on the uniqueness of the rock.
00:13:23.000If the rock isn't unique anymore, it has no value.
00:13:26.000And we've seen this happen a billion times.
00:13:29.000But my favorite example, of course, is my favorite dictator Mugabe and Zimbabwe, where he was as dumb as that girl.
00:13:37.000So he just kept printing money until a hamburger was $14 million.
00:13:43.000Yeah, this is, it's not in this clip, but this is the, this is the guy.
00:30:54.000So the two white girls are wearing real, have their real tits out, and the black girl didn't want to, so I found a bikini top online that has nipples on it.
00:31:19.000You know, everything we did back then had a highly disproportionate number of black people in it because we could only afford like 100 a day for extras.
00:31:28.000And most white people were like, I make that waitress sing no, no.
00:31:31.000But black people were usually on welfare.
00:32:26.000I've got to hand it to Brian Gaynor and Chad Harbald, who probably don't want to be associated with me anymore, but they would take my ideas and turn it, improve them vastly.
00:32:34.000Like, I never thought, I don't think I thought of this opera idea.
00:39:29.000Also in me news, you know, remember I told you my favorite thing to do, especially to working-class dudes born and raised in Brooklyn, is you end the phone call with love you, and they always go, as you're hanging up, you're, what the fuck?
00:39:45.000And I've noticed cops, maybe this is true of your friends, but cops keep sending me these videos that start out with a super hot chick, and she's just like, about to show you her tits, and then it cuts to like a guy fisting a guy up his butt with like Crisco oil everywhere.
00:43:48.000Every time they're on Howard Stern, I switch the channel.
00:43:50.000I don't like people wasting someone else's time.
00:43:52.000But if the guy's an asshole and loses his temper, like an angry Scottish or Irish guy, then they're kind of funny because the guy's overreacting.
00:44:01.000Like I heard one, Sal is this, Sal Governati is this retarded Italian guy.
00:44:06.000His dad's even stupider than him, which is hard to believe.
00:44:08.000And his dad, like, just fucked a bunch of people around the world, not around the world, around Brooklyn, and got them pregnant.
00:44:14.000So he has his family, but he's got a bunch of kids.
00:44:17.000So Sal Governati has a bunch of half-brothers and sisters.
00:50:23.000I presume it's about Martin Luther King, and he knows children are the future.
00:50:28.000And that's him holding up a beautiful black man, holding up a beautiful black child, and making sure black children and black people have a future in this country.
00:50:45.000So now the statue changes its meaning with Reverend Warnock there.
00:50:49.000And now it's offering up babies to the fucking parenthood, Planned Parenthood gods, to the abortion gods, to further your political career.
00:51:27.000The birthplace of Jesus is surrounded by people wailing and praying.
00:51:31.000There's an iron fence where the Christian church is, where Jesus was born, but it's surrounded with mobs and mobs and mobs of fucking Muslims.
00:51:45.000Faith Goldie and I joked about her coming back and taking over Bethlehem and her breeding until there were so many Christians that they outpopulated Bethlehem and started spreading it.
00:51:59.000And there'd be statues of Her with like a dart in her mouth, that's what Canadians call cigarettes, and a baby on her hip, and a Molson Canadian hat on, but like in stone.
00:52:07.000They're not even close to Virgin Goldie.
00:52:12.000No, we call the Virgin Goldie, but Virgin will be quote.
00:52:31.000So hard to discover and to hear an authentic vision and voice of authentic spirituality that gives voice to the least of these.
00:52:40.000And when it shows up, people describe it as some strange ideology rather than the vision of that poor Palestinian prophet who said that the spirit of the Lord is upon me because God has anointed me to preach good news to the people.
00:57:00.000And we shouldn't be shocked that this cognitive bias occurs enough to have earned such a reputation.
00:57:06.000Humans have an inherent desire to solve the problems that lie in front of them.
00:57:11.000And given a single tool to solve that problem, they'll have a tendency to attempt and discover every way that that particular tool could conceivably overcome that particular problem.
00:58:27.000At my old school, Carlton University in Ottawa, we were banned Because we had an ad that had the picture, it was a skateboard company, and they had the picture of the maid from Brady Bunch.
01:00:57.000So they see it as a way to do a cheap commercial.
01:01:00.000And it's the story of Colonel Sanders while using absolutely nothing from the story of Colonel Sanders.
01:01:06.000Colonel Sanders was a family man, hard-working man.
01:01:09.000The great thing about him was he took his recipe so seriously that even after he became big and he started franchising, he would go to the person's house, sleep on their couch, and for a week, show them how to make the chicken and make sure they got it perfect.
01:01:22.000And then after five days, everything looks like it's running smoothly.
01:03:59.000And they've had all every funny comedian has been Colonel Sanders, including one very unfunny comedian, that fucking loser who wears suits all the time.
01:04:41.000And more importantly, Ryan, as a Japanese person, I'd like you to look into the camera and apologize to America for what your ancestors did.
01:05:35.000Yeah, like I brought, I pretended I was mad at this Japanese guy at Max Fish once, and I was like, sitting there drinking your beer like Pearl Harbor never happened.
01:05:42.000And he's like, it's like Nazis with Germany.
01:05:47.000And he goes, can you think of another country that was brave enough to stand up to America and have an attack like that?
01:08:34.000And as I've said, as a parent, what is your job?
01:08:37.000Well, now it's getting the kids off screens.
01:08:39.000But as far as info goes, delaying what sex is for the longest time, delaying what race is for the longest time, delaying 9-11, not telling them what that was for the longest time, and extending Santa for the longest possible time.
01:08:52.000And it's really sad when they become sexual or when they don't believe in Santa anymore or when they realize that a plane could smash into their building at any given time.
01:09:02.000Or that that guy's called black and blacks are a thing.
01:09:07.000You know, my son once said, it's funny how so many of my friends have black skin.
01:11:12.000So this was sent to me by a reader, and I just was like, yeah, whatever.
01:11:18.000And then I watched Tucker, and he thought it was so big, he had two Chinese guys double-check the translation, and it's been removed from the internet.
01:11:28.000But it's too Late, it's been duplicated too many times.
01:11:31.000The original is gone, I mean, and he's just basically this guy admitting that Chinese operatives and spies have people in very high-up places.
01:13:05.000The reason this is relevant is because our biggest criticism of Biden, besides the fact that he's dead mentally, is that he's a Chinese asset.
01:14:00.000I don't think anyone's identity should hold them back, but I think the next president should see all races, all identities, but recognize where you can't speak for someone's experience and pass the mic to someone who can.
01:14:12.000I've pledged that I would ask a woman to serve as vice president.
01:14:15.000I would put forward a diverse candidate for.
01:14:17.000Speaking of like the tyranny of lies and not just clichés, I don't even know what that means.
01:14:23.000Is he saying, say there's a policy on abortion or something, then he can't handle it.
01:15:40.000Pussies that would make sure that inherent bias that exists or discrimination that exists in communities would be eliminated and that we would make sure everyone everywhere has opportunity.
01:15:53.000So when you're that much of a cuck and a pussy, you are easy prey for ugly spies named Fang Fang.
01:16:00.000How Fang Fang, the Chinese spy, slept with two U.S. mayors and targeted politicians, including one of the youngest members of the House, before slipping out of the U.S. when the FBI came and knocking.
01:16:27.000And then one time they had a piano in their front room, and I was coming home and I went by their house, like walked by their house, and I could see her at the piano just going, dong, dong, dong, dong, ding.
01:16:39.000Not playing a song, like doing it the way a little kid would do.
01:16:44.000And I said to my neighbor, hey, dude, I think ping ping might be a ding-dong.
01:18:01.000I was tipped off in 2018 that Swalwell had been compromised by a sex scandal and never could confirm details, but source was always good to go.
01:19:04.000I don't think I would be aware of that.
01:19:07.000If President Trump had worn a mask then and urged everyone to wear a mask then, back in April, the way Joe Biden is right now, wouldn't we be in much better shape?
01:19:20.000Well, Chris, I welcome Vice President Biden to the club since the middle of April.
01:19:24.000The president's guidelines for reopening have called the select sir.
01:19:41.000You know, Chris, at one meter, if two people wear the masks, it can reduce viral transmission by 72%, protecting both the source and the recipient.
01:21:48.000And I understand that you're a fan of me, Santa, and you had a little bit of a run-in with one of those helpers at the mall who hadn't been vetted properly yesterday.
01:22:04.000That's right, Bad Santa, who didn't pass the chemical test beforehand, but we've taken care of that.
01:22:13.000Another reason that that fucker, sorry for my horrible language, that that bad Santa is bad news is now the kids start going, wait a minute, so the people in the mall are not Santa?
01:28:04.000Okay, in the interest of not ignoring the subscribers who send me interesting stuff, I am paying more attention to the mailbag and not poo-pooing your letters.
01:28:16.000Gab, you should listen to the Joe Rogan podcast with Maddie Iglesias.
01:28:20.000Throughout the entire conversation, this guy Iglesias does the most annoying voice inflection where it gets ear-piercingly high, like Jiminy Glick.
01:31:48.000And I think because we've accepted this idea of censorship and deplatforming as a viable alternative to listening to things that upset you, just get rid of them.
01:36:47.000I think that's the show I was hearing about at the gym today.
01:36:50.000Tells a story of London being torn apart by the turbulent power struggles of international gangs, and a sudden power vacuum is created when the head of London's most powerful crime family is assassinated.
01:38:09.000My name is Angel, and I'm emailing in because I heard about a man who grew up without a dad, much like Ryan.
01:38:14.000And he made a YouTube channel for other boys who also grew up without dads, so they don't end up like Ryan.
01:38:19.000He has videos like this one that teaches you how to fix most running toilets and others, such as how to change a tire, how to jump side a car, how to tie a tie.
01:38:25.000The one I linked is the shortest one I saw.
01:38:28.000P.S. Ryan, you're legit the best, even though my boyfriend calls you a loser.
01:38:35.000So, anyway, so I'm going to show you how to fix a running toilet.
01:38:38.000That just means that the water just is trying to fill back up and it doesn't have a good seal.
01:38:43.000And so you'll need what's called a flapper.
01:38:46.000And all that is, is the flapper flips up when you flush the toilet and then it flips back down and tries to seal the toilet so that the tank can fill back up.
01:41:35.000The players all took the knee to show support for BLM.
01:41:37.000The fans, returning to the stands for the first time after months away, started booing them.
01:41:42.000Millwall has always had a thug reputation.
01:41:44.000Of course, the media there have not shut up about it since and are smearing Millwall fans as racist shitbags.
01:41:49.000Yeah, if you don't, if you're not on board 100%, you're a racist shitbag.
01:41:53.000I saw this thing where they, it was in Austria or somewhere, where they built a big giant Black Lives Matter statue.
01:42:01.000And these kids with red hats, they showed up and they put these boards around the statue and had the faces of white women who had been murdered, raped to death by Muslim immigrants.
01:42:15.000And so they covered the Black Lives Matter with that.
01:42:17.000And the headline was, white supremacists deface or destroy BLM statue.
01:49:14.000I was in a special class at DiAubre Moody Junior High, and I was such a fucking dick to Mr. Hamlin that he quit the profession and stopped being a teacher.
01:49:27.000And at the end, I've told this story before, but at the end of the year, he had a big bowl, a salad bowl of Mars bars, and it was like we're having a party, pizza party, and everything's cool and everything's fun.
01:49:37.000And we had been at each other quite a bit because I was always fucking with him.
01:49:41.000Like we had a thing we're going to do, the future.
01:49:44.000So you have to, the challenge was every classroom has to decorate itself up like the future.
01:49:49.000And so everyone was spacey and there was like digital doodle radio shack parts I wear.
01:49:53.000And I was like, what about a dystopian future, Mr. Hamlin, where the place is destroyed and there's graffiti on the walls and stuff.
01:50:01.000He goes, well, we can't graffiti, he was French Canadian, we can't graffiti on the walls.
01:50:05.000No, we'll put a paper moron and then we'll strape it on the paper and stuff.
01:50:25.000So anyway, at the end of the year, he goes, hey, Gavin, I'd like to talk to you outside for a second, and I go, Why?
01:50:34.000And so we go outside, and he goes, Look, we've had our ups and downs, and we I think at the end of the day, I recognize that you bubble with energy, and so I want you to know that I think we can still be friends.
01:50:53.000And he holds out a Mars bar, but there's and I just looked at him and I sort of went, I look down at the Mars bar and I go, there's a whole bowl of them inside.
01:53:36.000But I really feel like I would just come out there guns ablazing and not take any shit.
01:53:44.000I mean, when people, like, I told you that story when I was driving to work one day, some guy goes, ugh, because I didn't stop the car and let him cross.
01:53:53.000But he was about 15 feet from the crosswalk.
01:53:56.000And I just instinctually jumped out of the car and said, ran up to him and said, what?
