Nick DiPaolo is not only one of the longest-standing veterans in the comedy industry, he s the guy who some of the world s most famous comedians still call when they need help writing jokes. To this day, we have a videotape of Trump saying he likes to grab boobies.
00:00:55.000Now, in every industry, there's often a person who people think is the man, right?
00:00:59.000The person who gets the accolades or the push, as it's called in some entertainment industries.
00:01:04.000And then behind the scenes, there's the guy.
00:01:08.000In the world of stand-up comedy, for decades, that guy is Nick DiPaolo.
00:01:11.000Nick DiPaolo is not only one of the longest-standing veterans in the industry, he's the guy who some of the world's most famous comedians still call when they need help writing jokes.
00:01:32.000Nick DiPaolo has always reviled the left, political correctness, or what we know today as cancel culture.
00:01:37.000He was cancelled, fired really, before that term exists, from his own radio show at Sirius XM when a Latinx professor at Fresno State was joy tweeting that Barbara Bush had died.
00:04:22.000My club is wherever, my never, my never, my never, my never, can hits bigger than all.
00:04:52.000Painted his face dark My mind's fine, even when the times seem dark.
00:04:57.000Walther on my side, you don't want to hear that thing talk.
00:05:00.000Let the king talk, stream on Rumble, go and click it.
00:05:04.000Now we got a whole team, so we arc and kick it.
00:05:06.000It's like Texas in the middle of the summer.
00:05:09.000It's hotter than in hell, leftist needs a Mutz umbrella.
00:05:12.000Shh, don't wake the sleeping giants ass.
00:05:15.000Election season bout to be a motherfucking bloodbath.
00:05:20.000It may not mean nothing, So I don't plan on stopping at all My club is forever mine, ever mine, ever Getting hits bigger than all Big tech just can't keep up with me I just love washing and fall My club is forever mine, ever mine, ever mine, ever mine
00:05:49.000There they go, back in theatres, as we come to spit the jokes.
00:07:51.000But it really is a dynamic of when people say, hey, what's the legitimate purview of federal government?
00:07:55.000If you are, right, if you're talking about federalism versus statism or socialism, and I know people hear federalist and they don't, but if you're a federalist and you believe in limited federal government, is there a role for the federal government that is appropriate?
00:08:08.000We always try and make it pretty clear.
00:08:10.000Certainly secure borders would be one.
00:08:12.000So my question, yeah, oh, there you go.
00:08:14.000I already put a comment, is if the federal government refuses to do its job, Do you think that states have a moral and ethical, not only right, obligation to take matters into their own hands?
00:08:24.000So we'll be talking about that and hopefully my voice sounds a little more sexy.
00:08:29.000Now at some point today I'm going to start talking breathlessly like a fat guy because I can't breathe through my nose.
00:08:34.000I was talking to a lawyer last night on the phone and I was like, she's like, are you okay?
00:08:40.000I'm like, I just went up the stairs and I can't breathe and I'm talking.
00:08:44.000CEO number two, Captain Morgan, how are you?
00:10:17.000So yesterday, former Vice President Joe Biden, respect the office, he spoke at a rally that was kind of centered around abortion, and he had some pretty harsh words for Donald Trump, but of course some fantastic supportive words for women.
00:11:07.000Even if he had strung that sentence together in an intelligible way, don't mess with the women of this country unless you want to get the benefit, is what he actually said.
00:11:15.000So that's why I continually mess with them.
00:13:49.000By the way, hey, if at some point today, and we will have Kerry Lake on, if you're watching on YouTube, head on over to Rumble, please, because there's a lot of stuff that can't actually be broadcast on YouTube.
00:13:58.000So if at any point today you see this, it just means go to Rumble.
00:14:03.000We're not going to self-censor, but we are going to try and, you know, make sure that our channels on YouTube aren't permanently removed.
00:15:03.000All right, so let's set this up for you.
00:15:06.000Yesterday, the New York Post, they ran an article titled, A whopping one-third of Gen Z shoppers admit they prefer self-checkout kiosks so they can shoplift.
00:15:18.000Okay, so a couple Gen Z or Jay Z. Well, I don't think they have self check out.
00:17:36.000These are the real... So let me just give you some brief crime... And Nick DiPaolo has had some bits about this, so this is right up his alley, but let's give you some 2022 crime stats, okay?
00:17:46.000Larceny, and this is, you know, largely theft, in case you guys don't know.
00:18:37.00028% 55,000 black people 57% 110,000 Asians 0.7% now there's some more numbers
00:18:48.000here that matter women commit about 39% of larceny offenses That means that if you add all this up, a whopping 0.3% of thievery crimes are committed by people who look like this.
00:20:25.000When you lie about it, when you try and create these or protect certain victim classes, you create actual victims.
00:20:31.000And this is just like what Nick has brought up.
00:20:33.000You look at these stats, it's not even close.
00:20:36.000How many more times are you going to have to see an article like this or another home security or alarm commercial with a white guy who breaks in?
00:24:24.000Which, by the way, you can join Mug Club for $9 a month right now.
00:24:27.000You go Mugless, but you get it for $9 a month if you want to try it.
00:24:30.000Of course, if you actually join Mug Club annually with $89, you get the hand-etched, hand-painted mug, and you get Nick DiPaolo's special today!
00:24:38.000Today, on Mug Club Only, all right, let's go to Greg Abbott, who's taking on the Feds, and he's a wheelchair guy.
00:26:46.000Governor Abbott said, all right, we're going to put up some razor wire here because we have a border crisis and you're not doing anything about it.
00:26:51.000Then you had Border Patrol cutting the razor wire off.
00:26:54.000Greg Abbott sued, said, no, no, we're not going to do that.
00:29:19.000It says, the failure of the Biden administration to fulfill the duties imposed by... That was his wheel.
00:29:26.000Until the duties imposed by Article 4, Section 4, has triggered Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, which reserves to the state the right to self-defense.
00:29:36.000For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, to invoke Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.
00:29:45.000Netflix has already secured a documentary, The Rights and the Works.
00:29:49.000We've obtained an early copy of the poster.
00:30:24.000So actual Hamilton said, if the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people must take such measures.
00:30:33.000To address the injury done to the Constitution as, as the, this is one of those words going to be, exigency may suggest and prudence justify.
00:30:41.000I'm still winded because I can't breathe through my nose.
00:32:24.000As you see, these folks are trying to avoid a wall, let alone if they get up there and they see a few Bic razors, they're going to try and take another direction.
00:32:38.000I know it sucks to look at razor wire that looks like a bat boomerang, but you go, hey, it stops people from transporting sex slaves across the border.
00:32:47.000It stops these coyotes from stealing children from their parents.
00:32:50.000This is a choice that you have to make.
00:32:52.000Having an open border and not enforcing it is supremely immoral.
00:33:37.000He's like, yeah, I know the Supreme Court's gonna strike it down in a few months, but for now, well, guess what happens in that period of a few months?
00:33:43.000Landowners, mom-and-pop landlords who own a few properties, they're underwater and they lose their properties because other people don't have to pay rent.
00:34:59.000There's also a lot of precedent for this, by the way, as far as defying the courts when you're talking about a tyrannical government.
00:35:04.000And Gerald, you're obviously the resident historian.
00:35:06.000And this is more about, you know, it's defying the courts, but it's also defying the federal government if they are overreaching interstate rights, like legitimate territory.
00:35:55.000Like, this was when people were talking about it, and it was just another example of the federal government telling states what they can do and saying, you know what?
00:37:08.000I'm not tying these two things together necessarily.
00:37:10.000What I'm saying is there is a big kind of movement of people frustrated at the federal government for either overreaching or not doing their job the way that they should.
00:37:21.000It's a big deal what's going on in Texas right now.
00:37:23.000This may be one of the biggest things that happens for states because of some of the other support that you've got obviously coming in for the state of Texas from all over the country.
00:37:32.000I think we're at the point where... Yeah, go Nick.
00:37:43.000Well the federal government is supposed to, in a statement from one of the supporters here, Ron DeSantis from Florida, we'll get to it in a second, in his statement he's basically saying like, they never would have signed on to join the Union if this was not there.
00:38:11.000Your tax dollars right now, your tax dollars, you're in Texas, you're in the state of Florida, end up going to pay For crap in San Francisco and California that you don't support, you have nothing to do with, and those people actively fight against you?
00:38:23.000We don't share the same fundamental values anymore.
00:39:32.000So, we also have, by the way, a lot of Republican support, which is often surprising because it's like the world's biggest high school.
00:39:38.000So the people who backed Abbott, who's a wheelchair guy, you have Glenn Youngkin from Virginia, you have Brian Kemp from Georgia, but then you also have Ron DeSantis, Christy Noem, Mike Johnson, and of course, oh, this also surprised me, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley had this to say.
00:39:54.000I told them that if they would do this, that South Carolina would wrap their arms around them and take care of them.
00:45:07.000As far as the president in Arizona versus the United States, Scalia acknowledged that Article One provides, here's a quote, for the state's sovereign interest in protecting their borders.
00:45:17.000So here is Where I find this gets interesting.
00:45:21.000It kind of puts former Vice President Biden in a corner.
00:45:24.000And a question to you is, what do you think the Biden administration does here?
00:45:29.000Really, there are kind of two options, I would say.
00:45:31.000And I'm sure there's a door number three, and you'll say it's binary thinking.
00:45:49.000Option two would be send in the troops to arrest...
00:45:54.000Abbott, and of course that would actually put Biden in a situation where he looks like someone trying to directly aid in illegal immigration to the United States, which is not necessarily better.
00:46:05.000It really kind of is a no-win situation.
00:46:07.000All that was required was someone to take action, in this case a wheelchair guy, and now you end up where Biden is really kind of in a bind.
00:46:15.000So if he does that, and by the way we also do have some AI predictive technology, they've simulated what the arrest of Greg Abbott may look like.
00:48:59.000You're talking about legal immigrants because it's really hard to figure out what kinds of crimes illegal immigrants are committing.
00:49:04.000And when you actually try and control for illegal immigrants, which is very hard to do, it's many, many multiples more as far as them being likely to commit a crime.
00:49:11.000Outside of the crime of coming here illegally.
00:49:13.000And that affects people, generally speaking, in impoverished neighborhoods, often legal immigrants who live in these neighborhoods, quite a bit.
00:50:04.000You are breeding exploitation, and when that is the environment, of course you end up attracting more criminals, which is what we see everywhere that we have porous borders.
00:50:15.000None of that matters in the sense that, it's all a moot point, if you just agree that it's a nation's job to protect the nation, this would qualify.
00:50:25.000But we know the Biden administration and people like them hate this place, and they're hell-bent on it, and they didn't even have to hide it.
00:50:33.000They said, you know, we're going to fill this place with people from terrible shitholes, we're going to have all the votes for the next whatever.
00:50:39.000I mean, this has been in play, this plan, for a long time, and it's finally coming to fruition, and we're standing around with our thumbs up our asses going, ooh, is that the federal job?
00:51:14.000I thought it was World War Z, like where the people are trying to get into, but there's a wall there, I think, so that would be... That helps it.
00:51:21.000And Kerry is coming on here in just a minute.
00:51:24.000I think you can't underscore the point that you made enough.
00:51:26.000This is allowing all of the worst forms of crime and debauchery and exploitation that you can think of.
00:51:34.000The human trafficking side, the fentanyl that is killing people left and right in this country The ability for people to come in and have child sex slaves, the ability for people to come in and be taken advantage of, even if there's no slavery at that point, they're just taken advantage of because they don't get to use the system, and so they can't report a crime when it happens to them.
00:51:50.000They can't report a boss that says, you know what, I'm keeping half your paycheck, sorry about that.
00:54:41.000I laughed, even when Trump was for the wall and stuff, I went along because I love Trump and stuff, but I just laugh at the concept of a wall.
00:54:47.000if you're really serious about keeping people out of your...
00:55:25.000Well, I don't know if they still have landmines, but I do know that they have all kinds of razor wire fences because Cubans would rather be in Guantanamo Bay prison than actually live out there in Cuba.
00:56:10.000So, then after our show yesterday, right now it's 10.05 Central, God's time, so 11.05 Eastern, Satan's time.
00:56:19.000We played the audio for you, but after we played the audio on the show, DeWitt, the Arizona Republican Chair, Jeff DeWitt, resigned from his position.
00:56:29.000So really quickly, before we bring her on, let me play the audio one more time.
00:58:37.000And you can tell there's a big swamp there.
00:58:39.000And get some of these great policies that we saw under President Trump, get them solidified into law so we don't have to worry about another Joe Biden coming in and destroying our country.
00:58:49.000Well okay and I want to get to that because obviously we're going to be talking about the 2024 Senate race and I don't really talk politics so much on the show and really this is more of a cultural issue and it's a symptom of something that we see at large both in conservative media and with these Republican PACs.
00:59:03.000I said this yesterday and I would If I'm incorrect, you tell me.
00:59:07.000This was recorded, this made it out, so this is a shakedown.
00:59:11.000And often when people hear about a shakedown, as we just did yesterday with DeWitt, who resigned, it's the last shakedown that someone was willing to possibly endure and you had had enough.
00:59:21.000I'm willing to bet this is not the first time something like this has happened or someone has approached you like this, correct?
01:00:06.000We were at the dinner table, and I said, I just wanna hear how that conversation went down again.
01:00:10.000And my daughter, she's 20, she was sitting there, and we played it, and we were just shocked.
01:00:17.000I remembered it, I've described it, I've talked about it in speeches, but hearing it again, and my daughter looked at me and said, Mom, what are you gonna do about that?
01:00:25.000She said, does that guy still have a job with the Republican Party?
01:00:29.000And I said, yeah, he still runs the Arizona GOP.
01:00:52.000I'd gotten a call, I was home, it was back in, I think it was the last day of February, the first day of March of last year, and I'd gotten a call from Jeff, and he said, hey, I'm real close to your house, I'm like right outside your neighborhood, I gotta come over, are you around?
01:01:08.000And I said, I'm really busy right now, to be honest, I'm finishing my book, I'm packing for CPAC, and he goes, it'll just be real short, five, 10 minutes, and I'm writing.
01:01:17.000Oh, old, doesn't-get-the-message Jeff, sounds like him.
01:01:21.000I said, Jeff, if this is about talking me out of running for Senate because some other people in kind of his circle have been trying to talk me out of running for Senate, I'm not really interested.
01:01:32.000And he said, well, no, no, no, no, no.
01:01:34.000I just it'll be five minutes, but I can't talk to you about what I have to say.
01:02:07.000But it wasn't until I re-listened to it, you know, 11 months later, just earlier in the week, in front of my daughter, and she heard it, and my husband heard it, and we went, oh my gosh, this is absolutely bribery.
01:02:25.000When someone is saying, well, a lot of these people would like it if you stepped back.
01:02:29.000So in one hand, you could have some money, or in the other hand, you now know that there are these powerful people who really don't want you popping your head up.
01:02:36.000And it's almost like they're trying to give you a choice while letting you know that you have no choice.
01:03:13.000And we're not going to be scratching backs, and they already don't want me, that's fine, the people do, and we need to get some people in D.C.
01:03:23.000who are actually going to do as our Founding Fathers envisioned and work for We the People.
01:03:27.000Yes, and you know what, this is a big problem.
01:03:29.000When I say they're important cultural tie-ins just because people sometimes don't think about micro-politics and how it affects them, You know, this also happens, we've talked about this in conservative media, when you're talking about these PACs, right?
01:04:07.000And it's a real problem because I've never, so in doing all of those shows, and you were there, I've never once in my life met a Lindsey Graham fan, a Mitch McConnell fan, a Paul Ryan fan, a Mitt Romney fan, I've met plenty of Carrie Lake fans.
01:04:24.000But the truth is, these candidates all look the same because there are few key people who pick them.
01:04:30.000And the same thing often happens in media.
01:04:32.000It happens in media, too, where it becomes very monotonous.
01:04:35.000And it seems to me like you ran into this sort of, well, they tried to stonewall Well, you exposed what was happening in media, even in alternative media.
01:04:44.000You're going to go work for this group or this conglomerate.
01:04:46.000We're starting to get alternative media that's kind of growing and becoming bigger.
01:04:50.000And you're going to have to push kind of their line and what they want.
01:04:54.000And you lose your freedoms when you do that.
01:04:56.000But this just goes to show you How deep the corruption in D.C.
01:05:33.000And I would assume that he, obviously this is, did he admit, did he fully admit that it was the direct result of this or did he just try and do it quietly, not acknowledge it?
01:05:41.000He wrote a two-page diatribe that I tried to get through and I was like, you know, where is the, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that.
01:05:50.000Arizona, I'm going to work to make amends and make this better.
01:05:53.000And I am resigning because we need the Republican Party to be strong in this most pivotal year, going into the 2024 election, where we either keep our republic or lose it.
01:08:13.000Let me ask you one thing, though, because some people said, obviously with your last election, how confident are you that the election interference, the shenanigans that took place in the last election that you encountered, that those won't take place when you run for office again?
01:08:25.000Because you have a lot of people out there I don't think they're being defeatist if they look at what happened with you, they look at what happened with Donald Trump and they go, yeah but maybe it doesn't matter if we vote anyway because look at what they polled.
01:08:36.000Well, this is why they don't like populists.
01:08:38.000You know, they've been messing with elections forever.
01:08:41.000And when you get a populist on the ticket, like Donald Trump, you know, if you get the two mamby-pambys like you described, and then the result is 51 to 49, you go, well, okay, they were both kind of eh.
01:08:51.000When you get a populist like Trump, who's filling stadiums and the people are for him, and they're flying Trump flags on their trucks.
01:08:58.000And they were doing the same with our race for governor, flying Carrie Lake flags and showing up in huge numbers.
01:09:03.000Then when they skew the election and mess with it, nobody believes it.
01:09:12.000And unfortunately, the people who've taken over our government here are a bunch of, um, you know, corrupt people as well, but we're, we're making, uh, what we've done is we've, we've educated the public as to what they're doing.
01:09:22.000So they got to come up with new ways each time.
01:09:24.000And I think they're really, they're worried about how they're going to cheat or rig the next election, because that's why they're trying to lock Trump up.
01:10:23.000I wanted to tell her, but we'll tell her offline here, so Pops Crowder, make sure you get this to her.
01:10:28.000I would like, we can do this, or she can do this, we can send back scratchers to all of Congress that say, scratch your own damn back, courtesy of Carrie Lake.
01:10:37.000I think that would be a pretty good thing to do.
01:10:40.000You always had a calling as a novelty salesman.
01:10:55.000If you want to join Mug Club, we actually, we were going to have Kerry Lake, but I know that we went over time, so we'll have her on another time.
01:11:03.000We're going to do It's Chat Thursday on Mug Club, which is where we just rapid-fire take as much of your chat as possible.
01:11:07.000And of course, if you join Mug Club right now, you can go Mugless for $9 a month, but...
01:11:12.000You know, you join annually, you get the mug, you actually become a part of the club and that's what supports everything that we do here at The Investigative Journalism and putting together, you know, a special like Nick DiPaolo's which is exclusive to Mug Club starting tonight!
01:11:23.000So, YouTube, I don't know why you're still here.
