RFK Jr. The Defender - Comedian JP Sears on Great Reset

00:00:00.000 Hey, so I'm really pleased.

00:00:02.000 Today's guest is one of our favorite regulars on the show, JP Sears.

00:00:09.000 So the world is nuts, right?

00:00:11.000 JP, is there any hope?

00:00:15.000 The world is nuts.

00:00:16.000 I agree with that.

00:00:18.000 And there is hope.

00:00:19.000 Man, I think hope is a beautiful thing.

00:00:22.000 And...

00:00:23.000 I think we have great reason for there to be hope.

00:00:27.000 I mean, there's weirdos like you and I and all the wonderful people listening to this and many other warriors out there crusading for freedom and what's right.

00:00:39.000 And this is my delusional perspective.

00:00:42.000 Don't tell the tyrants this, but I think the tyrants are strengthening the side of the good guys because the muscle can only be as strong as the weight is heavy.

00:00:53.000 We all know Luke Skywalker needs Darth Vader.

00:00:56.000 So I think these guys are helping people like you and I and other people that are on Team Humanity, helping us realize strength we didn't know we had.

00:01:08.000 It's inconvenient, but I think I have hope anyway.

00:01:12.000 Where are you now, by the way?

00:01:14.000 I'm in my home in Austin, Texas.

00:01:17.000 How would you describe what's happened to your life and your career since the pandemic began?

00:01:24.000 Yeah, what a confusing scenario.

00:01:28.000 I mean, talk to me two and a half years ago, I'd be like, there's no way things are gonna change that dramatically.

00:01:34.000 A lot's changed.

00:01:36.000 Two and a half years ago, did you see any of these forces gathering?

00:01:41.000 Or were you just sort of struggling along, you know, as a comic trying to make a living doing stand-up and whatever?

00:01:50.000 Yeah, you know, I was cruising along and doing my best to contribute to the better world and make people laugh.

00:01:56.000 And I, you know, for a long time...

00:02:00.000 Just clarify, what were you doing?

00:02:03.000 Political satire?

00:02:04.000 No.

00:02:07.000 Wasn't doing any political satire.

00:02:09.000 I was doing more like call out our egotistical nature as it shows up in the spiritual life, the health world, kind of that conscious living world, all the stuff I was in still important to me.

00:02:25.000 But I never was into politics.

00:02:27.000 But I will say I was aware of corruption.

00:02:31.000 My nose wasn't in it nearly as much as it is now.

00:02:36.000 But I knew the FDA with the food industry, the chemical industry, the farming chemical manufacturers, Monsanto.

00:02:44.000 I knew that kind of corruption was there.

00:02:46.000 So I wasn't eyes completely glazed over.

00:02:49.000 But the forces that we see...

00:02:53.000 In our world today, trying to do the Great Reset kind of garbage, I had no idea that was orchestrated.

00:03:01.000 But then spring of 2020 hits, and the biggest thing that changed in my life was an internal realization that freedom is my number one value, and I can't take freedom for granted.

00:03:18.000 And I've got to do something about freedom in my own small way.

00:03:24.000 So my professional landscape completely changed where now almost entirely my comedy and my content is about calling out corruption and standing up for freedom and giving the little guy a voice.

00:03:40.000 My world's completely changed.

00:03:42.000 And I don't like the corruption, but I would say...

00:03:45.000 Some silver lining.

00:03:47.000 My world's changed for the better.

00:03:49.000 I've gotten stronger as a person.

00:03:51.000 I've connected to like-minded, like-hearted people like you.

00:03:56.000 It's kind of like we're in the foxhole together.

00:03:58.000 So there's certainly been some positives.

00:04:00.000 You know, I've never talked to you about this, but from the first time I saw you, you were a real kind of symbol of hope to me, because being a student of history, I know that rebellious movements throughout history, that the first time that they really have traction and they're taking hold...

00:04:21.000 It is that artists and comedians and musicians begin to find inspiration in those struggles.

00:04:31.000 And you were really the first comedian to come out and start doing the job of comedians throughout time with the most important job, which is, I mean, it's very important to make people laugh.

00:04:43.000 But it's also political satire and ridiculing our leaders and accumulations of power is one of the duties of comedians.

00:04:54.000 Lenny Bruce and a million other important comedians We've played such critical roles in changing the political dialogues in our country and other countries.

00:05:07.000 Gradually, we've seen more and more musicians and artists migrating over and finding inspiration in this struggle, but I live in a world where I'm surrounded by comedians.

00:05:20.000 And I have been for most of my adult life.

00:05:23.000 Many of my friends are professional comedians.

00:05:25.000 I've met my wife through Larry David.

00:05:28.000 My wife is a comedian.

00:05:30.000 Her friends are all comedians.

00:05:32.000 Kind of one of the noteworthy Dynamics or features of this dynamic is how slowly the major comedians have been to come around and how plugged into the orthodoxies they are.

00:05:49.000 You know, people who were real social critics like Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah and all of these people who were Who were once dissidents themselves, and now have become, kind of embrace the orthodoxy.

00:06:05.000 Yeah, it's wild.

00:06:07.000 And I don't know Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, personally.

00:06:12.000 Yet, looking at their work, it's very uninspiring lately.

00:06:17.000 And I think any comedian needs to ask questions.

00:06:23.000 Am I serving the people or am I serving something else?

00:06:27.000 If we're serving the people, the number one principle of comedy is at play, and that's the truth principle.

00:06:34.000 Any good joke will be rooted in truth.

00:06:38.000 Now, oftentimes that's an unseen truth.

00:06:42.000 So revealing it creates the movement of laughter.

00:06:46.000 But if a comedian, maybe he's on the network like Stephen Colbert and he's looking at the check and says, whatever you think I should say, I'll go ahead and say that.

00:06:55.000 I don't know.

00:06:56.000 But if that's his reality, he's not using the truth principle anymore.

00:07:00.000 He's using the narrative principle.

00:07:03.000 And the narrative principle is not funny.

00:07:07.000 So we look at some of these comedians and some of these Saturday Night Live shows that once upon a time were very funny because they served people with a truth principle.

00:07:18.000 And we look at it and we're like, well, that's a comedy show, but where's the comedy?

00:07:22.000 I see them shaming non-narrative believers, but there's...

00:07:27.000 And bullying.

00:07:29.000 Yeah.

00:07:30.000 Bullying little people, and that's not what they're supposed to be doing, bullying powerless people, saying people should lose their jobs, people should be punished, from Howard Stern to Jimmy Fallon to, you know, all of them are kind of, they're not dissident forces anymore.

00:07:49.000 They are the king's jesters.

00:07:53.000 I mean, even the king's jesters traditionally was supposed to be making fun of the king.

00:07:57.000 He was the only person who was allowed to do it.

00:07:59.000 That was his job.

00:08:00.000 Well, they're not even King's jesters.

00:08:03.000 They're just propagandists.

00:08:05.000 It's very true. 0.95

00:08:06.000 Coward-filled yes-men who are dressed up in the jesters' clothing. 0.65

00:08:11.000 And I think we can ask ourselves with the narrative-based comedians...

00:08:19.000 Where's the money trail?

00:08:20.000 And where's the courage trail?

00:08:22.000 I mean, there's two factors at play.

00:08:25.000 What's the money influence?

00:08:26.000 Just like the pharmaceutical industry, what's the money influence getting people to do and say things that are not aligned with truth?

00:08:36.000 And then my dog's chiming in because he likes to make my life hell.

00:08:42.000 Then the other thing is, where's the courage trail?

00:08:45.000 It takes no courage to speak the truth when it's easy to speak the truth.

00:08:50.000 When you're rewarded for speaking the truth.

00:08:54.000 It takes a hell of a lot of courage to speak the truth when it's hard to.

00:08:58.000 Not just when you're not rewarded for speaking the truth, but what happens when you're ridiculed for speaking the truth?

00:09:05.000 What happens when you have a sense of, I could lose things.

00:09:10.000 I could lose everything if I speak the truth.

00:09:13.000 It takes a lot of courage to do that.

00:09:17.000 We're seeing some people's true colors here.

00:09:21.000 And some people, it's taken them a while to wake up, but now they're waking up to reclaim their truth, reclaim their courage, and they're taking the truth principle in comedy again.

00:09:32.000 So yeah, that's how I see it.

00:09:34.000 There's narrative-based comedians or truth-based comedians.

00:09:39.000 And it's been kind of, I mean, let's be honest, it's been kind of a gift to you.

00:09:45.000 Because this is, you know, the official orthodoxy is really a target-rich environment for comedy.

00:09:52.000 I mean, almost everything they do every day is a potential, it's a potential bit.

00:09:59.000 It is.

00:09:59.000 And you don't have any competition.

00:10:02.000 You know, you don't even have to be really funny.

00:10:06.000 You just have to basically read the newspaper.

00:10:09.000 You're 100% right.

00:10:12.000 There's very little competition.

00:10:15.000 And the comedy rights itself.

00:10:17.000 I mean, the things that are happening so much with the administration, the World Economic Forum, it's so exaggerated that it's almost not believable that it's reality.

00:10:32.000 And part of comedy, it can be at times you're exaggerating things.

00:10:36.000 So it's like, whoa, that's...

00:10:38.000 They're writing it.

00:10:39.000 It's writing itself.

00:10:40.000 And you look at the hypocrisies that are involved, how they show up all the time.

00:10:46.000 It really does write itself.

00:10:49.000 I mean, I think you saw that video I put out called Is Klaus Schwab the Most Dangerous Man in the World?

00:10:57.000 Some of this stuff...

00:10:58.000 What was the name of his little guru that you had on there who was really...

00:11:04.000 I mean...

00:11:06.000 That guy is just a war criminal waiting for the war. 0.97

00:11:10.000 He is. 0.87

00:11:12.000 Dr.

00:11:12.000 Noah Harari.

00:11:14.000 So you look at this guy, Noah Harari.

00:11:17.000 You look at Klaus Schwab.

00:11:18.000 I just showed video clips of them in this comedy video.

00:11:22.000 Then I did a little commentary, but... 0.98

00:11:24.000 These guys are just insane people.

00:11:28.000 They couldn't even be cast in the Austin Power movie as Dr. 0.99

00:11:33.000 Evil.

00:11:33.000 They're too exaggerated as characters.

00:11:37.000 So my job, you're right, it has been easy.

00:11:41.000 There's a relative monopoly and the stuff, it writes itself.

00:11:46.000 I really look forward to the day, hopefully in the not-too-distant future, Where it's really challenging to write comedy again.

00:11:56.000 The world will be in a great place when it's hard again.

00:12:01.000 What about Klaus Schwab?

00:12:02.000 I mean, these guys, they really are like Dr.

00:12:06.000 Strangelove figures, even with the accents and the weird mannerisms and just the sinister kind of chuckles and the dog whistle signaling that they're doing to the elites and Where they just, they're admitting that, you know, we want to turn you all into robots.

00:12:26.000 Yeah.

00:12:26.000 And so that we can make you slaves to these elite totalitarian classes.

00:12:32.000 I mean, people, it's really weird how people nowadays will say to you, oh, you believe in the Great Reset, as if it's a conspiracy theory.

00:12:43.000 He wrote a book called The Great Reset.

00:12:46.000 Yeah.

00:12:48.000 It's a conspiracy theory to believe it doesn't exist.

00:12:52.000 It's got the evidence.

00:12:53.000 It's a buck.

00:12:54.000 You can buy it on Amazon.

00:12:55.000 It's called COVID-19, the Great Reset.

00:12:58.000 And he says, don't let a good crisis go to waste. 0.91

00:13:02.000 It really is ridiculous.

00:13:04.000 And, you know, Bobby, I look at some of the things that Klaus Schwab and people in his category say, and And it seems like they're leaving a trail of evidence.

00:13:17.000 I mean, literally talking about people won't have free will anymore, they'll be plugged into the cloud, will have tracking chips in people.

00:13:28.000 Obviously, two years ago, this was all conspiracy theory, but...

00:13:32.000 I don't believe in reality anymore because it's just less accurate.

00:13:36.000 But you look at all this and my first question is, why are they saying this out loud, especially in front of a camera?

00:13:44.000 They're leaving evidence.

00:13:46.000 They're literally telling the world the nefarious things they're doing.

00:13:52.000 Some people have shared the opinion with me.

00:13:55.000 I can't validate this or not, but there's some theory going on out there that says these people, part of their code is they have to tell people what they're doing.

00:14:09.000 Now they're kind of a piece here, a piece there, a piece there.

00:14:12.000 So it's not one unified body of here's the plan, but they have to drop pieces of what they're doing in order for it to all be considered consensual.

00:14:26.000 Now, manipulation and coercion, for me, that's not consensual, but Again, I can't confirm or deny this, but it's an explanation for why they would say the outrageous things that they're actually doing.

00:14:41.000 To me, a sane person would say, well, if you're trying to get away with what you're doing, don't say any of it out loud.

00:14:49.000 I don't know.

00:14:50.000 So let me play this tape, the Harari tape, so people can hear what these guys are actually saying.

00:14:57.000 Yeah, of course.

00:14:58.000 Science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design.

00:15:05.000 Not the intelligent design of some god above the clouds.

00:15:09.000 Oh, you are playing god.

00:15:11.000 Say more.

00:15:11.000 Evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design.

00:15:17.000 Not the intelligent design of some god above the clouds, but our intelligent design and the intelligent design of our clouds.

00:15:26.000 The IBM cloud, the Microsoft cloud, these are the new driving forces of evolution.

00:15:32.000 It's a lot of evidence.

00:15:33.000 Surveillance.

00:15:34.000 People could look back in 100 years and identify the coronavirus epidemic as the moment when a new regime of surveillance took over, especially surveillance under the skin.

00:15:49.000 My brain, my body, my life.

00:15:51.000 Does it belong to me?

00:15:52.000 Or to some corporation?

00:15:54.000 Or to the government?

00:15:55.000 Or perhaps to the human collective?

00:15:57.000 This guy's revealing the whole plan!

00:15:59.000 He's gonna ruin it!

00:16:00.000 Humans are now hackable animals.

00:16:03.000 You know, the whole idea that humans have, you know, they have this soul or spirit and they have free will and nobody knows what's happening inside me.

00:16:12.000 So whatever I choose, whether in the election or whether in the supermarket, this is my free will, that's over.

00:16:19.000 Free will?

00:16:20.000 That's over.

00:16:20.000 It will indeed be over.

00:16:22.000 So, you know, you made the point before we played that tape that it's very strange to have these kind of sinister people...

00:16:32.000 Actually telegraphing very, very clearly and precisely what they are going to do to us if we let them.

00:16:39.000 And it's shocking to hear them say that and to see what they've actually gotten away with over the past two years in terms of putting their plan in place.

00:16:50.000 And then Chris Shaw and a number of the doctors from the Catholic Doctors Association.

00:16:55.000 Chris Shaw, he's a brilliant, brilliant professor in British Columbia.

00:17:01.000 He went and did research and found that for 15 years the WHO had been Issuing grants to scientists to develop these tetanus-toxoid sterilization vaccines.

00:17:17.000 They published dozens and dozens of studies, and he then did a peer-reviewed study outlining all the previous studies.

00:17:24.000 It was something that you would assume they should have kept hidden, but they were doing it right out in front of us.

00:17:31.000 And even the gain-of-function studies that were coming out of Wuhan, And we're funded by Tony Fauci.

00:17:37.000 They were publishing these so anybody can go out and read them.

00:17:40.000 And it's very hard for them to cover their tracks, but it's a weird impulse that they have to.

00:17:46.000 It's either an impulse or signaling mechanisms when they're going to do something truly horrific.

00:17:53.000 They make no effort to hide it.

00:17:55.000 Yeah, and it's almost like they make an effort to reveal a little bit of it.

00:18:02.000 And obviously not their intention of it, but a little bit of it.

00:18:05.000 And I hear so many people bring up Bill Gates' TED Talk, where he says, we're going to use vaccines to reduce the world's population.

00:18:18.000 Now, Bobby, I may not be a smart man, but I do believe a good vaccine is meant to improve people's health, which would presumably keep them alive rather than making them dead.

00:18:31.000 But if you want to reduce the world's population with vaccines, how does that work?

00:18:39.000 Yeah.

00:18:40.000 It seems like it's another piece of the same phenomenon.

00:18:44.000 Here's the convoluted explanation Gates has retroactively made about that.

00:18:50.000 He said that in poor countries, People have many, many babies because there's a high mortality rate in their children, and therefore they need to have more babies in order to make sure they are taken care of in their dotage.

00:19:05.000 And if you give vaccines to children, it will preserve their life, and the parents will no longer feel that they need to make so many of them.

00:19:15.000 So that is this convoluted and very, very dubious explanation about what he really meant.

00:19:23.000 But at the same time, they made a big effort to get rid of all those.

00:19:27.000 We actually grabbed that video and you can see it on CHD's website, but it's hard to find on Google these days.

00:19:35.000 It's hard to find anywhere else.

00:19:37.000 And it is very, very damning a mission, particularly given his long, long history.

00:19:42.000 His father was the head of Planned Parenthood in the Pacific Northwest.

00:19:48.000 He comes from a long line, as I show in my book, Eugenesis.

00:19:53.000 And he has, throughout his lifetime, Talked about, alluded to eugenics as something that, you know, is important in population control.

00:20:03.000 He's also funded huge programs throughout the world for Deprivero, which is a very, very dangerous drug that is meant to sterilize women.

00:20:15.000 And he gives that to millions, at least temporarily, but often it does so permanently.

00:20:21.000 It's given only to poor women and only to dark women around the world. 1.00

00:20:26.000 Many of the European countries have outlawed its use, particularly since it was being used just to control Black populations.

00:20:36.000 But he has, you know, the Gates Foundation has funded these programs like the Tetanus Program in the Philippines and Mexico and Nicaragua, all over the world.

00:20:46.000 And it's clear from, he cannot conceal the fact that this has been his central preoccupation throughout his career and that supposedly poverty is another one.

00:20:58.000 Also in my book, you know, I look at the actual performance of his vaccines and If you look and we go vaccine by vaccine, what the science says in almost every case, vaccines are causing more fatalities than they're averting.

00:21:15.000 In some cases, dramatically more fatalities.

00:21:18.000 I don't try to look into his head and I do not understand what How he thinks, how he views the world.

00:21:26.000 I have some hints about it, but what I do is I detail his conduct and his choices, and consistently those choices are about controlling populations through these kind of sneaky programs that trick people into taking drugs that will prevent them from having children.

00:21:48.000 Yeah.

00:21:49.000 Something I'm wondering about, I don't know if you have any speculation on this or not, I'd be curious if you do, but His why behind wanting to control the world's population, is it a smaller population is simply easier to dominate and control?

00:22:11.000 Does he actually think, well, I'm helping save the globe by killing off a bunch of people?

00:22:19.000 I'm curious if you have any speculation about his why.

00:22:23.000 You know, I really make a point to not speculate, but if you look at, he has very, very strong ties from his youth to the Rockefeller Foundation.

00:22:34.000 And for the Rockefeller Foundation, eugenics has been a preoccupation since its inception.

00:22:40.000 And his father also had that preoccupation with birth control.

00:22:45.000 As I said, he was the head of Planned Parenthood.

00:22:47.000 So I think that Gates grew up in this milieu.

00:22:50.000 You see, really, the consistency in almost all the things he's done, beginning with Microsoft, but also his food programs, which...

00:23:02.000 All of the things he does, basically, he looks at a problem.

00:23:07.000 He has a top-down technological solution, so he has a very, very strong face in technology.

00:23:16.000 And I believe this almost kind of megalomaniacal belief that he is ordained by God to save the world, to solve this problem, which only he has the genius to solve.

00:23:29.000 That's what it looks like.

00:23:30.000 And that you've heard people say, I don't like people, but I love humanity, but I don't like people.

00:23:36.000 And he seems like one of those guys who he's trying to do something good for all.

00:23:43.000 All of humanity, but people are getting in the way, and they are kind of... 0.99

00:23:49.000 I'm going to kill these people. 0.99

00:23:50.000 They're hurting my ability to help humanity. 0.99

00:23:56.000 You know, if you look at his food program, which is called the Green Revolution, where he partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation, it's all about technology and then a partnership with large corporations.

00:24:08.000 So he makes these big investments in McDonald's, in Kraft Foods, in Cargill, in Monsanto.

00:24:18.000 And then he goes to Africa and he says, we're going to lift you out of poverty.

00:24:23.000 You buy Cargill's GMO corn.

00:24:27.000 You buy Monsanto's glyphosate and pesticides.

00:24:30.000 We're going to give you, we're going to create supply chains for chemical fertilizer.

00:24:34.000 You switch away from subsistence crops like barley, sorghum, cassavas, plantains that you and your ancestors have successfully survived on for 20,000 generations.

00:24:47.000 And you grow GMO corn, and we're going to get McDonald's and Kraft to buy it, and we are going to lift you out of poverty.

00:24:55.000 And that is kind of his promise.

00:24:57.000 And by the way, he makes big investments in the companies that are going to profit from those transactions.

00:25:04.000 So he calls it philanthropy capitalism, because he can do well for himself by doing good for others.

00:25:11.000 This is what his philosophy is.

00:25:13.000 He did the same thing with vaccines.

00:25:15.000 He invested in Sanofi, Merck, Pfizer, Gilead, all the major vaccine makers.

00:25:21.000 WHO can control all the African governments because it's paying for their HIV programs and their health ministries.

00:25:28.000 So WHO make these deals where he says, you have to give to 80% of your population, you have to give DTP vaccines and hepatitis B vaccines, which my companies are going to make.

00:25:41.000 And until you show you've given them to 80% of your population, you are not going to get money for your health ministries, etc.

00:25:49.000 So he leverages his control over WHO to impose these strictures.

00:25:55.000 And he's moved WHO out of its traditional occupations with food, with patrician, with agriculture, with clean water, with hygiene, and, you know, building markets, economic development.

00:26:09.000 He has these formulas where he invests in the company, he takes the technology, he imposes the technology to solve a problem, but there's never any accountability.

00:26:18.000 He's never actually saying, are more people healthy?

00:26:22.000 Because it is.

00:26:23.000 And when you start looking at that metric, he is in a global catastrophe like a typhoon or an earthquake or a tidal wave.

00:26:33.000 He's made populations sicker, not better.

00:26:35.000 And with Microsoft, he had this same kind of ruthless approach to education.

00:26:40.000 His education was, I own Microsoft.

00:26:43.000 I'm going to invest in the core curriculum.

00:26:45.000 That means giving Microsoft software to all the kids.

00:26:48.000 They get hooked on it.

00:26:50.000 And so it's the same kind of approach in all of its things.

00:26:53.000 He owns a company.

00:26:55.000 They have technology.

00:26:56.000 It's going to solve the world problem.

00:26:58.000 And he imposes that solution on everybody.

00:27:01.000 And in fact, if you want to solve poverty, it's a very, very complex issue.

00:27:06.000 And it's almost always locally and democratically based.

00:27:10.000 The good solutions, the enduring ones, rather than being imposed from above.

00:27:16.000 Yeah.

00:27:18.000 A lot of our problems...

00:27:20.000 In a big picture kind of way seem like they're caused by over centralization, but decentralizing, getting more local rather than global seems to be a Fairly basic yet important direction for us to go, not the Gates direction.

00:27:41.000 Did you see recently our friend Bill? 0.61

00:27:43.000 He is on stage looking like a heap of garbage, no judgment there. 0.95

00:27:50.000 And someone was interviewing him and he starts to basically be condescending towards people for not wearing a mask, analogizing wearing a mask is like wearing pants. 0.97

00:28:00.000 No, I didn't see that, but do describe it.

00:28:04.000 Just beautiful.

00:28:05.000 Just in his condescending ways.

00:28:07.000 Why is wearing a mask so hard?

00:28:09.000 I mean, it is hard.

00:28:11.000 I mean, gosh, people can barely wear pants.

00:28:14.000 I mean, we ask them to do that, so why is it so hard to wear a mask?

00:28:18.000 And then all these allegations come out about his former employees accusing him of sexually coming on to them.

00:28:25.000 So I love the poetry of it all because it's like, well, Bill, apparently it's hard for you to wear pants.

00:28:31.000 So it's that match, Bill.

00:28:36.000 So when did you know that you were funny?

00:28:39.000 I still haven't figured it out, Bobby.

00:28:41.000 Now, you know, I remember as a kid, I would even say first grade, having awareness of, I'm one of the funnier ones and I know how to do funny.

00:28:56.000 I know how to make people laugh when I want to.

00:29:01.000 And then I remember during elementary school and certainly through junior high and high school, I was never really that interested in learning what they were teaching, but I wanted to entertain myself.

00:29:16.000 So I would do this sort of Tightrope act of occasionally saying things out loud, you know, pattern interrupt, where the goal was I need to make the teacher laugh.

00:29:30.000 Because if everybody else laughs, but the teacher does not laugh, then I get in trouble.

00:29:37.000 If everybody laughs and the teacher laughs too, they're in a state of mind where they're not going to be angry at me.

00:29:43.000 They're literally joyful.

00:29:44.000 So if I can...

00:29:45.000 And of course, the teacher's typical demeanor is like, I'm not supposed to laugh at a disruptive student.

00:29:51.000 So it's like a formidable opponent.

00:29:54.000 Like, cool, they've got the...

00:29:56.000 The guarded wall's up.

00:29:57.000 Can I penetrate this?

00:29:59.000 So I remember very deliberately practicing comedy as a way of trying to entertain myself going through school.

00:30:09.000 I had dinner with Mike Binder the other night, who's a stand-up comedian, and he does a lot of the HBO specials, and he had just come from having dinner with Norman Lear, who I've known for many, many years, but They started talking about how Norman Lear is so healthy and so vibrant.

00:30:30.000 I think he's 94 years old, very, very old, and still very active.

00:30:36.000 And Norman Lear said, ask me why I live this long and why I'm so healthy.

00:30:41.000 And Mike asked me, he said, it's because I laugh a lot.

00:30:44.000 Yeah.

00:30:45.000 And I think that's true.

00:30:46.000 And laughter is like medicine for people.

00:30:49.000 I'm really proud of my wife that she makes people laugh. 0.87

00:30:53.000 And I always tell her, she says to me, the stuff you do is important.

00:30:58.000 And I say making people laugh is even more important.

00:31:01.000 It saves lives.

00:31:03.000 It's medicine.

00:31:04.000 Well, it's all medicine.

00:31:06.000 What you do, there's nothing funny about what you do, Bobby.

00:31:11.000 I couldn't do it.

00:31:13.000 But it's all important.

00:31:15.000 You know, I look at what you do, what a comedian does, making people laugh.

00:31:20.000 We're all in a symphony.

00:31:22.000 We're all playing the same song.

00:31:25.000 We're just playing different instruments.

00:31:26.000 And the symphony would sound out of balance.

00:31:30.000 It wouldn't sound as good if the trombones weren't over there or if the drums weren't over there or the saxophone or the flute section.

00:31:39.000 We need it all.

00:31:40.000 I mean, one unto itself is great.

00:31:44.000 But to be balanced, I think humanity needs every instrument playing in the orchestra, from comedic to serious to long music, just all the things.

00:32:00.000 When did you figure out that you could get amazingly rich doing comedy?

00:32:06.000 By the way, if any networks are watching, I want you to know, give me a check big enough.

00:32:12.000 I'm going to stop calling out the tyrants.

00:32:15.000 I'd be happy to put me on after Stephen Colbert.

00:32:20.000 No.

00:32:21.000 You know, we live in a different age where I think it used to be...

00:32:25.000 I know it used to be in comedy, probably most entertainment.

00:32:30.000 You had to be discovered by someone else.

00:32:32.000 You had to use the system to make money.

00:32:36.000 But we live in, well, a much more decentralized time where now, assuming you're not completely kicked off all social media...

00:32:45.000 A comedian can put themselves out there and basically take control of their own destiny.

00:32:50.000 And if there's a little bit of an entrepreneurial spirit, the comedian, myself, you can form a business around what we do.

00:33:00.000 You know, it's been, I think it was 2017, I let go of my coaching practice.

00:33:08.000 I've been doing comedy professionally for about seven and a half years.

00:33:13.000 But before that, I was a health coach, life coach.

00:33:17.000 So a few years into comedy, as I accidentally started it, never had a plan, that's when I let go of my coaching practice and realized like, oh, I can, I'm not, I not only can make a living doing comedy, but I'm starting to make a better living than what I was doing before.

00:33:35.000 And yeah, you know, the world has been really great for me.

00:33:39.000 The, so many supportive people supporting me in my work, watching my videos, watching Supporting me through buying my merch, coming out to my comedy shows.

00:33:50.000 It's really been a joy.

00:33:52.000 So, you know, the past few years...

00:33:54.000 How about your wife?

00:33:55.000 Does she still laugh at your jokes? 0.56

00:33:57.000 Or is she, like, done with it?

00:34:00.000 No, she doesn't.

00:34:01.000 She doesn't think I'm very funny.

00:34:03.000 I need her to see a psychiatrist because obviously something's wrong with her that she doesn't think everything I say is funny. 0.92

00:34:11.000 But we have different senses of humor.

00:34:15.000 But what I do know is when I make my wife laugh, whatever I just said is a good joke. 0.90

00:34:21.000 Because probably 80 to 90% of what I say, like she appreciates it.

00:34:26.000 But she's not roaring in laughter.

00:34:29.000 And I think part of the equation, Bobby, it feels like now I'm in a marriage counseling session.

00:34:35.000 I think part of the equation is I'm predictable for her.

00:34:39.000 You know, it's kind of like if someone tickles you, You laugh, you squirm.

00:34:45.000 It literally tickles you.

00:34:46.000 It's a physical sensation of laughter.

00:34:49.000 It's tickling.

00:34:50.000 But if you try to tickle yourself, it doesn't really work because you're so predictable, you're in complete control.

00:34:57.000 But to make someone laugh, there has to be an element that they don't feel in control of.

00:35:01.000 Therefore, there has to be some level of unpredictability.

00:35:07.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:35:08.000 So I think I've become pretty predictable to my wife.

00:35:12.000 And how about your siblings?

00:35:15.000 Do you have brothers and sisters?

00:35:17.000 Yeah, I have one sister.

00:35:18.000 She's a year and a half older than me.

00:35:21.000 And does she think you're the funny one in the family or that she's the fun one in the family?

00:35:26.000 I think she'd be willing to say I'm the funny one.

00:35:29.000 And she's got a great sense of humor herself, as does my dad.

00:35:33.000 And I always say anything funny about me I got from my dad.

00:35:37.000 Anything kind about me I got from my mother.

00:35:41.000 And where are your mom and dad on the whole pandemic thing?

00:35:45.000 You know, they're not exactly where I'm at, but they're also not eyes glazed over believing everything CNN has to say.

00:35:56.000 I think they're somewhere in the middle.

00:35:59.000 And...

00:36:00.000 One of the things I love about my parents is, I'm very blessed they're both still with us, they may not agree with everything I say, but they accept me.

00:36:12.000 And I certainly don't agree with everything they say and do with regard to the whole pandemic.

00:36:19.000 But I accept them.

00:36:20.000 And I think my family, we realize we're not going to be tricked into being divided against each other.

00:36:27.000 And that seems to be part of the intended orchestration.

00:36:32.000 Get people to divide if they're not believing the narrative.

00:36:35.000 But yeah, we're not going to fall for that.

00:36:38.000 You know, as a family, we just want to love each other.

00:36:41.000 And I've never met someone who I agree with about everything.

00:36:46.000 I don't even agree with myself about everything.

00:36:48.000 I change my mind about things all the time.

00:36:50.000 Thank God.

00:36:51.000 It's called learning and growing.

00:36:53.000 So I don't look like a complete nut job to them.

00:36:57.000 They don't look like a complete nut job to me.

00:36:59.000 But we're not super eye to eye about all things.

00:37:04.000 We've got our differences, but we're in the same ballpark.

00:37:08.000 Where are you today on the Ukraine?

00:37:11.000 The one thing I know is that I don't know anything.

00:37:16.000 What I do know is what the propaganda is.

00:37:20.000 What I do know is the news wants us to believe, write it wrong, but they want us to believe Russia and Putin is bad.

00:37:28.000 Ukraine and Zelensky are good.

00:37:33.000 And I get suspicious about, all right, you want us to believe that.

00:37:39.000 Well, maybe that's the one thing not true.

00:37:42.000 Something that mattered to me, Bobby, Tulsi Gabbard put out a video talking about Ukraine President Zelensky, how he has locked his political rivals in prison.

00:38:00.000 And Isn't democratic in that sense.

00:38:05.000 Maybe has the front of democracy.

00:38:07.000 But I paid attention to that video she put out.

00:38:10.000 And I don't know the absolute truth.

00:38:12.000 All I know is...

00:38:14.000 This is Tulsi Gabbard, and here's what she's saying about this man.

00:38:17.000 And the news is broadcasting nothing along these lines about Zelensky.

00:38:23.000 So I'm curious, you know, one thing I do know is World War III isn't something I support by any stretch.

00:38:34.000 I'm curious, where are you at on Ukraine?

00:38:37.000 I feel the same way.

00:38:39.000 I mean, listen, if you say, they do the same tactics.

00:38:43.000 If you say anything that is questioning of the orthodoxy, it means you're pro-Putin.

00:38:49.000 And they did the same thing to me on vaccines.

00:38:52.000 You know, if I didn't just completely buy the orthodoxy, I was pro-measles and pro-chicken pox and You know, pro-polio, right?

00:39:01.000 And you can't have a nuanced conversation where you can say, you know, what was the US role in, you know, in the coup in 2014?

00:39:11.000 And what has, where have we been with these, you know, with 14,000 ethnic Russians being killed, you know, in Donbass and Odessa and the Crimea over the past six years.

00:39:26.000 And how did it contribute to Putin's decision that we move We've violated our promise to not move NATO one inch to the east.

00:39:39.000 And instead, we went in and signed up in countries who are all former Soviet satellites.

00:39:45.000 And then, you know, so there's complexities.

00:39:48.000 And I have a historic perspective.

00:39:50.000 I always remember very, very clearly in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, And we almost, there were 11 of the 13 people in my uncle's XCOM committee, who were the chief panjarams of the military and the intelligence community, all said, we've got to invade, cash on, bomb him.

00:40:12.000 And it was because the Russians put missiles in Cuba, which was only 1,100 miles from Washington.

00:40:21.000 Now, we have missiles and bases, but in countries that are, many of them, a few miles from Putin's borders.

00:40:31.000 So the reason that Khrushchev went along with putting the missiles into Cuba is because we had put Jupiter missiles in Turkey.

00:40:39.000 And my uncle was able to make a deal with him where we would pull the missiles out of Turkey if he pulled the missiles out of Cuba.

00:40:47.000 And we agreed not to invade Cuba.

00:40:50.000 And my uncle happily agreed to those things.

00:40:52.000 And so my uncle always said, President Kennedy always said, you need to put yourself in the other guy's shoes.

00:41:00.000 And my uncle also said...

00:41:03.000 We believe the most important role of president is to keep our nation out of war.

00:41:08.000 I'm an anti-war person just by nature.

00:41:12.000 I didn't want to go into the Iraq war.

00:41:14.000 I spoke out against it.

00:41:16.000 We're finally, after 20 years, getting out of Afghanistan, the longest war in our history. 0.88

00:41:22.000 Why can't we even wait six months before we go into another war?

00:41:27.000 And in Afghanistan or in Iraq, you had this wall of propaganda where Fox News and CNN and everybody was saying, we've got to get Saddam Hussein.

00:41:38.000 He's He's the bad guy.

00:41:58.000 He's the bad guy.

00:41:59.000 And so I think, you know, in the newspapers, all of them had to apologize for their role in greasing the skids for this propaganda campaign.

00:42:09.000 And I think we really need clarity before we pick another fight.

00:42:14.000 We need to know what are our objectives.

00:42:16.000 Is the objective to save human life in the Ukraine?

00:42:19.000 Is it to establish U.S. hegemony over Europe?

00:42:23.000 Is it to gain control of the energy supply in Europe?

00:42:28.000 Is it to do regime change in Russia and get rid of Putin?

00:42:32.000 Those are things we ought to understand from the outset and that we ought to have a debate about in front of Congress.

00:42:38.000 We ought to have an open debate in front of the American people and that people who question the orthodoxy should not be silenced.

00:42:47.000 They should not be censored.

00:42:49.000 They should be welcomed.

00:42:51.000 We need to have a debate.

00:42:52.000 So I don't have any answers, but I do have what you have.

00:42:57.000 I have a lot of questions.

00:42:59.000 Well said.

00:43:00.000 And I think we need access to our own minds in order to have the debate, in order to...

00:43:09.000 Wellbeing and lives are on the line.

00:43:12.000 We need to have a functional, level-headed debate.

00:43:17.000 And the idea that we should invade a country preemptively just because there's a bad guy running it, I think America needs to get past that idea.

00:43:27.000 We are not the policemen of the world.

00:43:29.000 And we should not be having military bases in countries all over the world.

00:43:35.000 We need to protect our borders.

00:43:37.000 We need to make ourselves a fortress.

00:43:40.000 And then we need to focus on growing our middle class, on building infrastructure in this country, on building schools and bridges and roads and on...

00:43:51.000 Making America a template for the world so that we're not imposing democracy and our values at the end of a gun, but we're inspiring people to adopt them through our own example.

00:44:03.000 And I think that's the kind of foreign policy that America should have, which is a really strong domestic economy.

00:44:11.000 And, you know, we've hollowed out the middle class in this country in order to pay for the military over the past 30 years.

00:44:19.000 And, you know, in America, it doesn't have the freedom or the prosperity it wants.

00:44:25.000 And that's not a good outcome.

00:44:28.000 That's the outcome of being the policeman of the world.

00:44:31.000 Anyway.

00:44:33.000 I'm curious, real quick, when it comes to the narrative about Russia and Ukraine, the basic Russia bad, Putin bad, Ukraine's good, without your uncle's wisdom of put yourself in the other person's shoes to understand.

00:44:49.000 I see some of the people just buying into the narrative hook, line, and sinker.

00:44:54.000 They've just come off two years of having their eyes pretty open to the COVID narrative.

00:45:00.000 Like, I can't trust the news.

00:45:03.000 I see what they're doing with COVID. They're full of crap. 1.00

00:45:05.000 Then the Russia stuff comes out and they're like, oh my god, really? 1.00

00:45:08.000 That's what's going on?

00:45:11.000 How does that happen?

00:45:13.000 Yeah, it's interesting because there were two polls that came out this week that showed that people who were unvaccinated were much more skeptical about the US going into the Ukraine.

00:45:28.000 Okay, interesting.

00:45:29.000 In both U.S. and Canada.

00:45:31.000 And, you know, the conventional narrative is that it's because they're all right-wing Trumpers.

00:45:38.000 I think, you know, political parties have almost no meaning or relevance to this issue.

00:45:47.000 I think those are people who have an ingrained skepticism toward government pronouncements and that they are with the vaccines and now with the Ukraine.

00:45:58.000 They're sitting back and saying, wait a minute, I do not believe everything you're telling me.

00:46:03.000 I have questions about it.

00:46:05.000 I don't like the fact that those questions are being censored.

00:46:08.000 And I'm not going to go along with your narrative without some real convincing justification and debate.

00:46:17.000 And I think that's what's happening.

00:46:19.000 That makes sense.

00:46:22.000 Listen, my friend, it's really good to talk to you again.

00:46:26.000 You've been an inspiration to millions of people in this movement, and I want to thank you for pointing out the hypocrisy, for speaking truth to power.

00:46:35.000 You're an amazing leader.

00:46:37.000 Thank you, J.E. Sears.
