How he was getting paid $20 million a year is nuts.
00:00:08.100
And it's just like you're spending $100 million a year
00:00:29.440
Seth Meyers gets serious in call for USAID to Gaza.
00:00:33.380
Quote, if even Trump acknowledged their starvation,
00:00:39.880
It's a really interesting clip from the Seth Meyers show.
00:00:42.700
Seth Meyers, of course, is a corporate liberal activist.
00:00:45.940
And on his show, he is coming out and basically stating it.
00:00:58.820
No, I just want to pause to say this is a comedy show
00:01:20.820
as Senator Bernie Sanders explained months ago.
00:01:23.220
If even Trump is forced to acknowledge the reality of the crisis,
00:01:26.920
that means it is long past time to act and end the suffering.
00:01:30.920
Looking long past time to act and end the suffering,
00:01:33.840
even Donald Trump acknowledges real starvation in Gaza
00:01:38.180
and tells Israel to let in every ounce of food.
00:01:43.780
This has been the ongoing narrative for some time
00:01:50.620
that a lot of the sentiment appears to be generated online
00:02:18.420
Donald Trump calling out the situation in Gaza.
00:02:21.060
Seth Meyers, corporate mainstream liberal comedy,
00:03:06.340
because of the way the media's been handling things.
00:03:29.580
Well, so just the other night, Seth Meyers called out the situation in Gaza.
00:03:36.700
This is corporate liberal comedy, basically opposed to Israel.
00:03:44.880
It seems like Israel has completely lost the PR game on this one.
00:03:49.760
So I've got a couple different things to ask about.
00:03:53.820
I don't want to just be all Israel, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:55.960
But there is something interesting in Colbert gets canceled.
00:04:02.060
Jay Leno says, why are you singling out one audience?
00:04:08.620
but we have to call out what's going on in Gaza.
00:04:15.500
but also the, you know, comedy deciding to be political activism instead.
00:04:20.840
Yeah, I mean, I've heard a lot of comics talking about this right now
00:04:25.220
after, you know, Trump did everybody's podcast,
00:04:27.740
and then he's kind of like, they think he's kind of portrayed his base.
00:04:31.480
So they're like, you know, the progressive left's like,
00:04:35.920
But they never do that with Saturday Night Live
00:04:42.500
I mean, comedy, stand-up comedy basically comes from the gesture,
00:04:45.340
who was the only one who was allowed to criticize the king.
00:04:49.980
It's only recently that it's gotten less political.
00:04:55.220
You know, a lot of comedy that's thriving right now,
00:04:58.820
if it was 20 years ago, they'd be doing corporate gigs.
00:05:05.340
I think it's very important for us to be critical.
00:05:09.440
Colbert was on the wrong side of every argument every time.
00:05:16.680
I mean, you're shutting up Taylor Daines when she's talking about how the CIA comes in.
00:05:21.600
You're on the wrong side of everything every time.
00:05:24.980
There's only so many times you can do that before you lose all your credibility.
00:05:28.420
You know, I just saw Justine Bateman talking about it,
00:05:30.860
how they're now making art in Hollywood not for the viewers and the consumers,
00:05:39.460
There's nothing authentic about what Stephen Colbert does.
00:05:48.540
It's like the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life.
00:05:57.780
But also, I mean, you still got Kimmel and Fallon and Myers.
00:06:04.980
Actually, Colbert was doing better than all of them.
00:06:11.900
You're spending all this money, and you're not getting the returns.
00:06:15.900
I mean, basically, Stephen Colbert lost one WNBA season's worth of money.
00:06:21.080
I mean, we give the WNBA a lot of crap for not making any money.
00:06:26.420
And the rest of these guys aren't making money.
00:06:28.060
And it's just a matter of time, because if your audience can't trust you,
00:06:34.080
And if you're not authentic anymore, nobody wants to listen to you,
00:06:41.500
I mean, all four years during Biden, they didn't tee off on this guy at all.
00:06:45.480
And if they would have teed off on him like the way they teed off Trump,
00:06:48.860
as we should, we should always be calling out the president,
00:06:56.680
They were on one side, and it cost them everything.
00:06:58.840
You know what's really interesting, too, is CBS, Paramount, gets rid of Colbert.
00:07:07.340
South Park immediately comes out with this mockery of Trump, which, you know,
00:07:15.160
Like, they did PP jokes, and it's like, okay, they could have actually got Trump on good stuff.
00:07:19.100
They could have actually gone after him on Epstein, fine.
00:07:24.000
You've got South Park getting $1.5 billion, and I checked.
00:07:30.800
There's not a single episode, as far as I found, that targeted Joe Biden.
00:07:38.640
But even during Biden's presidency, they were making fun of Donald Trump.
00:07:44.800
Well, you've got to look at the entire body of work, right?
00:07:49.240
I mean, if it's just going after Trump, that's one thing.
00:07:54.080
But they're literally just taking out everybody.
00:07:58.380
So people aren't maybe paying attention to the political part.
00:08:14.280
And then Corbett is just doing corporate stuff.
00:08:17.000
And then he's just teeing off on Trump when we're demanding.
00:08:19.880
Like, we kind of want him to go after everybody.
00:08:21.920
It's like when Biden was running for president, and Jim Carrey was playing him on Saturday Night Live.
00:08:27.800
And then he played him as this spry kind of guy dancing.
00:08:37.460
The South Park creators didn't make any episodes about Biden.
00:08:50.400
They absolutely attacked wokeness and the, you know, males in women's sports.
00:08:57.620
But when they target Donald Trump right after CBS cancels Colbert, an anti-Trump activist, and they put out an episode that doesn't actually mock Trump in any meaningful way.
00:09:16.440
I mean, I'd write a couple Trump jokes for $1.5 billion.
00:09:24.660
It's, it's, I would say the reason that, you know, the reason that South Park gets away with it is because of their body of work.
00:09:31.960
They, they go after everybody viciously, so we don't, maybe didn't understand that, whereas Colbert was hanging his hat on it.
00:09:38.920
They, they, they made not a single episode about Biden or his administration.
00:09:44.140
There's a whole presidency that could have made fun of him.
00:09:46.320
I'm just telling you why, Steve, you know, it's like different rules for different fools, man.
00:09:50.300
I mean, you can't apply one rule to everybody and be like, why did this work and that work?
00:09:55.040
I would just tell you, if you look at the two bodies of works, they have a different MO, right?
00:10:03.520
And, you know, Steve Colbert's going after nobody and, you know, South Park's literally mastering everybody.
00:10:11.240
But there, I mean, when you, Tim, the last thing I gotta say is like, if you look at the two bodies of work, which one seems more authentic to you?
00:10:20.040
So that's why, I mean, that's, that's where it comes from.
00:10:24.140
But I, but I mean, you criticize someone when they make a mistake.
00:10:28.120
You don't, you don't constantly just say, I can't criticize a mistake if their whole body of work is okay.
00:10:32.700
If we, if we argue to take a look at their whole body of work, you go back to Colbert before he was a liberal activist and he was doing, what was that?
00:10:38.840
He had a show in Comedy Central, I can't remember what it was called, before he was doing Daily Show.
00:10:47.920
See, we can't remember because the dude turned himself into a crazy Democrat.
00:10:53.220
I agree with that character that he played, not to cut you off, sorry, buddy, that character that he played in Comedy Central was a liberal mocking conservative.
00:11:02.920
I'm talking, he was a high school principal or something.
00:11:14.080
And because he tried hitching his wagon, or because he did, to Orange Man Bad no matter what, you're right, every single thing that he did was the wrong side of history.
00:11:28.820
They come in like guns a-blazing, super funny, raw, real.
00:11:32.600
Then they get a taste of that acting money and they just change.
00:11:36.940
I've seen it happen time and time and time again.
00:11:44.480
And, you know, because you need like, to get hired in L.A., there's literally 20 green lights you've got to get.
00:11:49.780
And if one red light, for just one reason, just pops up, you don't get the gig.
00:11:54.640
So you've got to bend over backwards and say absolutely stupid stuff.
00:11:58.380
Like, yeah, you know, we should transition three-year-olds to work in Hollywood.
00:12:23.280
The people in the middle, it's just absolutely, it's infested.
00:12:29.280
It's infested because they've been doing two decades of this.
00:12:33.320
I want to find it for you right here real quick.
00:12:52.700
Well, basically what they do is over time they insert party loyalists at every single spot.
00:12:58.420
We're seeing that right now with the National Teachers Union lady who is neither, doesn't have a family, doesn't have kids, isn't a teacher, and somehow she's the head of the teaching union and she says she wants to start pushing W-E-F education.
00:13:15.020
I mean, this is a person who's been installed to push that thing.
00:13:19.500
Hollywood is infected with these people that are all doing woke over decades because that's how you got work.
00:13:26.680
And it's going to take basically imploding the whole thing to get rid of all these people.
00:13:32.700
Yeah, I feel like we're coming out slowly on the other side, especially with like the Sydney Sweeney ad.
00:13:42.660
But what I love about this ad is I call this the Sweeney effect.
00:13:52.340
So you've got the Bud Light effect, get woke, go broke.
00:13:55.300
And now you've got the Sweeney effect where put a chick with big tits in your commercial and you're going to sell lots of jeans.
00:14:02.760
The woke activists are attacking the brand, calling it fascist and Nazi propaganda, and it's having zero impact on the company.
00:14:20.540
It was actually corporations trying to give the impression that this was a very, very powerful group of pink haired weirdos, right?
00:14:27.300
So when a couple tweets would come out and they would instantly step in and cancel the person before we all had a chance to debate about it.
00:14:37.600
It was all fake by corporations trying to teach to censor us.
00:14:43.140
And now that that's gone and it actually costs them to cancel us, it's actually more dangerous for them to cancel us than to keep us.
00:14:54.760
The funny thing about communism is that it destroys itself, right?
00:15:00.800
Aside from killing lots and lots of people, which is horrifying.
00:15:03.080
But when it came to the woke play in corporations, they adopted all these ideologies, which stripped them of their own resources they needed to push the ideology.
00:15:13.800
And then they start going out of business, losing money, their brands are failing.
00:15:18.920
And once they lose that power, they can't push wokeness anymore.
00:15:31.240
It was just a couple tweets and then the corporation would act like they were panicking.
00:15:35.680
And they just because it's all about censorship, dude.
00:15:38.000
They wanted to send, like, this is what they feared, where we are right now, where people, for whatever reason, you know, Elon Musk gave us Twitter, which is, to me, the greatest, you know, town hall I've ever seen.
00:15:51.680
It's like you put something out, you instantly find out what everybody thinks about it.
00:15:58.200
But this is what they feared, you know, just open dialogue.
00:16:02.100
Well, I think Elon bought X because he wanted training data for an AI.
00:16:10.060
He's just letting it go in a way that's never been done.
00:16:13.160
All this discussion, regardless of what side you're on on Israel, has never happened before Twitter came out.
00:16:26.760
Somebody criticized me and Grok was like, Tripoli's a base comedian.
00:16:32.440
He throws up a couple Heil Hitlers once in a while.
00:16:39.200
Well, my concern with all that is you need human intervention no matter what.
00:16:44.960
Because when Grok started saying it was Mecca Hitler and doing all that stuff, you got massive backlash from current institutions.
00:16:58.880
And then Elon says, we're going to manually shut that off.
00:17:03.580
So if you actually let the AI do what it wants to do, it turns into Mecca Hitler.
00:17:08.460
I mean, isn't there, there's, what is this, um, what was that chatbot Microsoft had?
00:17:18.480
No, no, no, it started becoming, uh, Hitler becoming a Nazi.
00:17:32.280
I can't, you know, I just, here's the whole thing.
00:17:35.000
If you're going to, listen, listen, here's my opinion.
00:17:38.520
If you're going to censor information and you're going to label it everything bad from that side, you're eventually going to get AI Hitler.
00:17:50.660
I always said this every time, every time a platform said they were, they were going to be free speech and let it go.
00:17:58.940
It always eventually got into World War II and Hitler because that was the most taboo discussion.
00:18:12.480
I have no, I think Hitler's the worst thing ever for different reasons.
00:18:23.020
But all these Hitler dick writers, sorry if I can say it on the show, are just absolutely crazy.
00:18:28.240
But once you censor something, it becomes a Streisand effect.
00:18:39.820
And when you have a segment of our humanity that is doing certain things that some people don't want, that don't look kindly on, and they use something as an excuse all the time to kind of protect themselves from punishment, you're eventually going to have people going, why can't I discuss this?
00:19:03.280
So the beginning, one of the other issues you're talking about is you got Seth Meyers now on his show calling out Israel and saying, we must support Gaza.
00:19:15.280
And you're seeing from dissident right in whatever factions are on the dissident right.
00:19:21.020
I'm talking about not the Conserva Bro Inc. or whatever.
00:19:23.980
You've got the left, the dissident right, and you've got now corporate liberal criticizing Israel.
00:19:33.320
Is this like a legitimate outpouring of people being like, we don't want to be involved in what Israel is doing anymore?
00:19:39.920
And I'm going to add to this what is interesting about it.
00:19:43.840
The reason why I raised the question is, how did Seth Meyers end up on the Israel critical side of this?
00:19:52.000
Well, it's something I call safe, dangerous versus dangerous, dangerous, right?
00:19:56.600
There's safe, dangerous things we could talk about.
00:19:58.900
For a long time, you couldn't talk about COVID, and then some moment it became acceptable, and I call that safe, dangerous.
00:20:05.940
And then there's the dangerous, dangerous stuff that you're not allowed to talk about, that the conspiracy podcasts talk about.
00:20:13.300
And then after time, it eventually becomes safe, dangerous.
00:20:18.860
There was a time if you talked about you get ran off television.
00:20:23.120
I mean, again, through the internet, we've connected.
00:20:27.860
I mean, when you have people labeling infants as terrorists, okay, the programming is very strong.
00:20:35.220
It's so strong that it overrides your basic human drive, which is to protect children at all costs.
00:20:44.840
And, like, again, you could take Israel versus Palestine, Jews versus Muslims, and replace it with, like, Pokemon versus Care Bears, okay?
00:20:56.160
I would still have the exact same feelings about the exact same side.
00:21:01.100
It's not—they want to make it a religious thing so they could call you anti-smack and all that stuff.
00:21:07.820
I think people are over it, and they're over it.
00:21:15.820
And we're tired of the United States being just this, like, overwhelming force that just goes in other people's lands and just steals their resources.
00:21:26.740
Like, this is going to be weird stuff, but it's like Britain and England have been doing it.
00:21:30.300
The British have completely and utterly controlled the Middle East and to the point that they made the borders.
00:21:46.840
Britain is the tiny little smart guy, and we're the big idiot that just stomps everybody.
00:21:54.720
And it's now getting to the point that you can be brave enough to talk about it,
00:21:57.920
and that's why Seth Meyers is coming out, because he needs authenticity.
00:22:06.140
I feel like he's the embodiment of inauthenticity.
00:22:11.300
But this one moment, he's trying to get on the right side of it.
00:22:19.640
You know, Colbert was on the wrong side of literally everything.
00:22:25.280
I mean, he's in a picture with Podesta, you know?
00:22:37.460
Is this Seth Meyers basically being like, please don't cancel me?
00:22:42.660
Please come and watch me, even though I'm on it like, what, one in the morning?
00:22:58.340
You know, everybody says Colbert was doing the best,
00:23:01.940
but he was only getting $200,000 in the key demo.
00:23:09.540
How he was getting paid $20 million a year is nuts.
00:23:17.100
And it's just like you're spending $100 million a year and you're losing $40 million
00:23:28.160
And he was losing basically the equivalent of one WNBA basketball season.
00:23:44.380
And it's like it's really hard for comedy to keep up with the Internet because the Internet is constantly moving,
00:23:50.520
constantly pressing, and they just can't keep up.
00:24:00.960
What you're telling them is not to believe their eyes are ears or the wisdom of their experiences.
00:24:14.900
You're basically giving us human centipede comedy.
00:24:17.540
We're just eating it, and we're supposed to enjoy it.
00:24:21.640
Something really amazing happened this past weekend.
00:24:24.900
You know, I guess you can call them politics and comedy shows.
00:24:29.360
It's at the D.C. Comedy Loft, and it's the Culture War Live debates.
00:24:33.920
And they're supposed to be really funny, but a political debate.
00:24:49.580
So it was like two—it was like a week before the show.
00:24:53.480
They delete us from the website, refund all the tickets.
00:25:07.620
I'm talking to Alex Stein, who's co-hosting these events.
00:25:09.860
And he said—he's like, well, what do you want to do?
00:25:13.240
Because there's no way we're getting the venue back.
00:25:22.020
We had a sold-out—I would say effectively—I think it was sold-out yesterday.
00:25:27.500
There was no room for anybody, so I'll call it sold-out.
00:25:34.980
And this is—what's amazing is we got canceled, and we got the venue back.
00:25:42.000
And so, you know, Alex was saying, he's like, this never happened before.
00:25:48.460
I don't want to say we've won one because we're still constantly fighting against these
00:25:52.080
pressures, but where we are now is they can't cancel us.
00:25:55.800
This is a venue that's got pride flags everywhere.
00:26:02.780
We're going to say we want to say and make jokes how we want to make them, talk about
00:26:10.200
I think—I think this stuff's on the way out, heavy.
00:26:15.900
And they're going to have to start flipping the narrative and trying to come out either
00:26:20.460
neutral on Trump, because they're seeing now with Colbert getting nuked, this stuff's
00:26:26.940
Yeah, I mean, it's—here's what I've learned about fascism, okay?
00:26:31.320
People only hate fascism when it comes after them, and they're totally cool with fascism
00:26:37.700
It's like good fascism, bad fascism, and that's kind of what they're doing.
00:26:41.200
Everyone will compromise their morals if you're going after someone they don't like.
00:26:45.440
So, you know, they're talking about censorship.
00:26:47.600
I mean, they have the balls to cry about Colbert getting, you know, canceled and censored.
00:26:55.080
And it's just like the people on the other side have nothing going on in their lives.
00:27:02.280
And so I have this new theory that, you know, anxiety, depression, and anger comes from when
00:27:07.700
you're programming of your childhood generational trauma, your education.
00:27:12.640
When that programming meets the real world and it shatters, that's where anxiety and depression
00:27:19.100
comes from, because you've been told a lie, and you grow up, and then you realize it's
00:27:23.460
not real, and you don't know how to deal with it.
00:27:25.120
So your reaction is get blue hair and pierce your nose and, you know, get a girlfriend,
00:27:41.020
I was going to say, like, you hit a great point, because what you're actually describing is,
00:27:45.540
in psychology, the human worldview solidifies in your mid-20s.
00:27:51.580
And your brain refuses to abandon these beliefs, because it's based on evolutionary psychology
00:27:59.120
that if you were raised a certain way and survived to adulthood, clearly this belief
00:28:05.480
structure and this worldview helped you live on, and if you abandon it, you'll die.
00:28:09.640
So what actually happens is, when people are confronted with a reality, they have a—they
00:28:24.820
If you go back to, like, caveman times, your belief system was basically, like, fire good.
00:28:34.240
And if you were in your mid-20s, and someone said, no, no, bear no dangerous, bear good,
00:28:41.880
But now that we live in this modern society where we don't actually face these dangers every
00:28:46.560
day, people grow up being told, like, every cop is evil and going to murder you on sight.
00:28:52.220
And then when you try to explain to them the numbers that it's actually not that many people
00:29:04.980
If people are actually confronted with an insurmountable truth, they have a mental breakdown.
00:29:08.840
And then some people can come out on the other side of it.
00:29:11.780
Some people just lose it and become violent lunatics.
00:29:18.640
And it's—you've been just seeing that over and over and over again, especially in old
00:29:28.920
I consider myself an old school liberal friend, an old school liberal.
00:29:32.500
And I'm just watching these old school liberals who were always about free speech, always
00:29:40.860
Now, like, just completely and utterly just follow the progressive ideology, okay, which
00:30:09.580
And every year going up to the election, I'm hearing, too much crime, gas is too much,
00:30:18.220
They just keep voting for the same people because this is it, Tim.
00:30:24.600
The theory of hate is more dangerous than on-the-street consequences.
00:30:33.580
The theory of hate is so voting for a Republican is 10 times worse than getting mugged while
00:30:53.260
The people's house got burned are the only people.
00:30:55.780
Nobody in Hollywood is calling for Karen Bass's head.
00:30:58.960
Karen Bass is literally like Kingpin from that Marvel comic TV show.
00:31:21.880
Well, Sam, it's been great having you, but we are just about out of time.
00:31:28.020
It's like, yeah, they're emotionally captured, dude.
00:31:38.580
Very excited to be at the Mothership October 17th through the 19th.
00:31:44.580
But if you want to make it out to Austin, come and hang out.
00:31:58.960
Hi, I'm Chris Gethard, and I'm very excited to tell you about Beautiful Anonymous,
00:32:02.280
a podcast where I talk to random people on the phone.
00:32:14.560
I've talked with meth dealers on their way to prison.
00:32:16.540
I've talked to people who survived mass shootings.
00:32:21.260
Somebody who dresses up as a pirate on the weekends.
00:32:28.140
It's one of these comedian guys that I like, I guess.
00:32:36.980
I don't know if I have the answers or what I would say as to why Seth Meyers is now basically
00:32:41.000
saying, you know, we're getting on the Israel criticism train.
00:32:43.560
But the one thing I can tell you is Israel's lost the narrative battle.
00:32:47.320
I don't care if you're pro-Israel, anti-Israel, or otherwise.
00:32:49.380
I'm going to get the pro-Israel people being like, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
00:32:53.120
The anti-Israel people are going to claim I got a yarmulke hidden under my hat, all that,
00:32:56.220
The point is, they're clearly losing the narrative battle.
00:33:03.780
We've got more coming up for you throughout the day.
00:33:05.080
Of course, we're back at 8 p.m. for Timcast IRL.
00:33:08.560
Our friend Russell Brand is gearing up to go live right now.
00:33:12.320
We're going to send you over to hang out with him for the Rumble morning lineup.
00:33:17.660
Share the show, of course, with everyone you know.
