00:00:00.000 there's some very important parts of today's program sure we talk about the banking crisis

00:00:04.360 and something that you will not hear anywhere else um we break down the latest whistleblower

00:00:10.900 right that says joe biden was taking money from a foreign entity foreign it seems like foreign

00:00:18.100 government uh while he was vice president that's kind of important according to a whistleblower

00:00:24.180 and you know the left never will listen to a whistle well it's not just a whistleblower it's

00:00:28.500 it's several it's several whistleblowers and it's it's also uh we also talk a little bit about the

00:00:35.280 the uh the document that came out that said the cia was running inside the united states uh black ops

00:00:43.260 uh that that might have played a role a little bit uh there on september 11th but nobody's talking

00:00:49.860 about that but they only have 11 witnesses uh former cia chief and uh a senator

00:00:58.140 but that just came out nobody's talking about it but i think the most important comes from

00:01:03.820 the washington post today and that is bees uh what do you do if you're being stalked

00:01:13.560 by a i don't know gaggle a swarm a swarm of bees what do you do well one thing we know is

00:03:06.600 could collapse well yeah but that's not reasonable that's a normal day yeah uh no but i'm a spectator

00:03:11.760 in this i'm interested to see how this banking thing works out yeah me too there's a couple big

00:03:16.640 banks uh potentially uh yeah down by 50 60 percent 60 percent back west yeah that'll be interesting to

00:03:23.040 see it'll be you know it i'm i'm i'm gonna be fascinated to see how does the fed how does the

00:03:29.000 fed do this you know how they're gonna work this out what is the ending gonna be you know who knows

00:03:33.940 don't know we'll know soon yeah we'll know soon and i'm not worried about it i'm just an observer

00:03:39.900 just an observer yes disinterested disconnected yes observer so i'm an observer on something else i'm

00:03:46.200 i'm i'm really fascinated to see uh how all of the corruption stuff around the bidens and throughout

00:03:56.100 our government works out in the end do the american people actually stand up and go hey okay enough is

00:04:03.260 enough uh do they care uh do they care does anything happen or do they all get away with it

00:04:09.040 i can't wait for the ending yeah i was gonna say these are rhetorical questions right because i don't

00:04:13.680 want i don't want to be sad enough to answer them yeah because it doesn't seem like it doesn't seem

00:04:20.160 like but i will tell you there is there is a point coming that we either completely are just

00:04:29.960 absorbed absorbed into this corrupt system or americans begin to stand up and say enough is

00:04:36.680 enough you know it was 1854 or 56 where uh you know a senator stood up in the well of the senate by

00:04:45.500 himself and they were talking about slavery and he said you people are hypocrites you are hypocrites

00:04:54.660 the two parties then were the whigs and the democrats and he said you guys talk a good game yeah we're gonna

00:05:03.020 work on that one when you're back at home you're not doing anything neither of you guys neither party

00:05:10.600 is serious about solving any problems and meanwhile the south is sleeping with the whore of slavery that got

00:05:21.760 almost beaten to death in the well of the senate now you think that's bad this is worse not only was

00:05:30.560 he almost beaten to death the guy who beat him to death was a congressman he used his cane to do it

00:05:37.600 beat him in the head sumner was never the same and no one stopped him no one on the senate floor

00:05:46.240 no you know no the color guard didn't show nobody showed up to pull that guy off of him then he was

00:05:56.280 never prosecuted he was never questioned he was never uh uh arrested ever instead the democrats came

00:06:06.660 back into session and they had made chains with his little with a little mock cane on it and they wore it

00:06:14.900 outside of their clothes basically saying you wanted you you want some of this you bring this up and

00:06:22.700 we'll do it to you okay that was the end that day marked the end of the status quo it's there's going

00:06:34.200 to be an event somebody's going to stand up and say enough enough i don't know what it is but it's

00:06:42.440 coming it's coming because it's too honestly i i was i was reading the news today you got to get the

00:06:48.740 email newsletter today it's like oh my gosh it's just crazy get the get the email newsletter glennbeck.com

00:06:56.440 it's free but i'm going through all of that and i'm looking and reading all the stories and at some

00:07:02.440 point this morning i i actually stopped and went okay i i can get the idea of the normalcy bias

00:07:12.140 i can get the idea that everybody's been pushed into a corner but i really don't understand

00:07:19.340 anybody and maybe it's that there's no honest people anyone who is honestly looking at things

00:07:26.420 i don't know how you don't get how bad the situation is because it's everywhere you know

00:07:33.120 we're gonna get into this later epstein you know when epstein died it was kind of a joke

00:07:40.060 i was clinton's kind of a joke and we thought maybe you know somebody that was involved in the

00:07:46.720 sex ring you know offed him and there were a lot of powerful people i don't believe that anymore well

00:07:51.860 i didn't really believe it then i was like there's a shot but i don't know i didn't know now oh i don't

00:08:01.140 believe he was killed by the clintons he was killed by government operatives everybody but that guy was

00:08:10.340 a spy that guy was in the intelligence community you may need to boil down this case a little bit

00:08:17.880 more in depth later because i i believe the official uh designation was suicide still yeah i'm just

00:08:24.780 telling you i'm just telling you when you look at what's going on all everywhere where they are

00:08:34.000 glorifying pedophilia they don't care about the kids on the border it's just evil running rampant

00:08:41.660 and i think he was a i thought i think he was doing you know honeypot stuff and working for the

00:08:50.220 government and there's been speculation on that all the time but everything seems to connect did

00:08:56.220 you see that the epstein bank j i think it's jp morgan we'll get into this later the judge just ruled

00:09:03.400 there's enough evidence there for this to go to court the the charge is they knew that uh epstein's

00:09:13.880 funds were coming from this kind of stuff and payoffs were being made now i don't know if they

00:09:21.260 can prove that in court but the judge they wanted it thrown out and the judge said no there's enough

00:09:28.040 here the executives are going to have to testify right right jamie diamond right okay so now let me

00:09:34.060 go back to the whistleblower whistleblower stories i love the whistleblower now the new one

00:09:39.860 i mean i'd like to hear it's like a chorus of whistles i'd like to hear them all blow at once

00:09:47.000 uh the whistleblower is alleging that the fbi and justice department are in possession of a document

00:09:55.340 that describes a criminal scheme involving then vice president joe biden and a foreign national

00:10:03.160 relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions this coming from grassley's

00:10:09.840 office grassley is not a bomb thrower grassley i mean he's too old i don't think he could pick up

00:10:16.620 and lift and throw the bomb um but he's not a bomb thrower also it comes from the committee chairperson

00:10:24.000 james comer these guys it's it's not the same as uh i don't know you know if you took marjorie green

00:10:35.120 this is not the same as that these two have credibility now they say the document includes

00:10:43.540 a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose the

00:10:51.280 document and fbi generated fd 1023 form if there's anybody who knows what that is that was put in this

00:10:58.660 story i bet for a reason um allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for

00:11:05.100 policy decisions they issued a subpoena yesterday following legally protected disclosures to grassley's

00:11:13.040 office they wrote we believe the fbi possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very

00:11:20.700 serious and detailed allegations implicating the current president of the united states what we don't know

00:11:26.480 is what if anything the fbi has done to verify these claims or investigate further the fbi's recent

00:11:34.660 history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight so what you need

00:11:41.740 to know on this is this this could be a charge that they had they investigated it went nowhere because

00:11:49.980 it was an empty charge it really nothing was really there however the whistleblower has seen this document

00:11:57.980 and is led or leading people to believe yeah they didn't do anything they buried this

00:12:05.300 with their recent burials that they're doing just even on hunter biden why has that guy not been charged

00:12:15.460 why has he not been charged for any crime any crime and they're saying well we're gonna get him on a

00:12:23.040 couple of tax things tax things how about drugs how about drugs i mean even if it's even if it's not true

00:12:32.940 which it absolutely is the paperwork is in all of the money being laundered going to the family

00:12:41.220 there's nothing after what four years of knowing all of this stuff there's nothing no action

00:12:50.240 this and i think biden is too smart to do this uh at one point he had all of his faculties

00:12:59.240 uh i can't imagine that he was like oh you want that policy well let me look at the menu here that one's

00:13:07.240 14.99 uh now you want a policy on uh on climate change i can get you into something there for you

00:13:14.860 know 800 bucks that ain't gonna i can't believe he was that stupid he glenn they literally left a

00:13:25.960 laptop at a computer repair shop his heroin son i know but i had that say i think i said the same thing

00:13:34.240 on the air the day that hunter biden story came out there's no way he's that stupid he left his

00:13:40.460 laptop at a computer repair shop that can't possibly be true and then guess what it was

00:13:46.940 so i don't know it doesn't seem like they're very good at covering their tracks i will say that that

00:13:52.280 does not seem to be of all the things that the bidens do well and there's so many of them this one

00:13:58.440 doesn't seem to be one of them the idea that they can actually commit crimes and then cover them

00:14:02.820 yeah well they don't really even have to cover them they they just think they can get away with

00:14:08.020 it which again leads me back to things like epstein nobody's investigating these things

00:14:14.460 nobody's investigating them i mean do you trust the investigations of the fbi the justice department

00:14:20.720 do you trust our nsa our cia our cia is spying on us our cia thinks we are the problem we are the

00:14:31.840 enemy they're doing everything to protect the government not the people if they're involved

00:14:38.700 in anything like with a jeffrey epstein do you think they're going to expose that no no way no way

00:14:46.900 and anybody who helps them i mean look at the media how do you possibly explain the media not

00:14:55.680 uh reporting that gee all of our sources have been lying to us all of our sources you know national

00:15:04.700 security uh source uh source deep in the intelligence community told us that's what they've been saying

00:15:11.080 for six years all their sources are national intelligence sources okay cia it's nsa and they've

00:15:20.640 been feeding them incorrect information over and over and over again and now we know that it was

00:15:30.900 intentional it was planned you could have said well cia they're always wrong no no now we know these

00:15:38.600 things were planned plotted and executed and we have the goods on it why is the press still not

00:15:48.620 talking about it because they have been co-opted by our national security apparatus they are just an

00:15:57.580 arm of that apparatus and if you don't think that happens then you've got to go back and read our own

00:16:04.960 history this is what the church commission found back in the 70s they had co-opted the media and we were

00:16:13.680 supposed to have oversight but the oversight isn't they classify everything now so even congress members

00:16:22.260 they can't get the documents how many times did did uh the white house file a subpoena for documents

00:16:31.140 from the justice department or from cia nope can't turn it up you know we don't yeah we can't get those

00:16:36.820 we can't get those to you uh in the darkness in the darkness is where all of this corrupt stuff

00:16:46.920 happens and there is no one shining the light on it thank god for the internet thank god for people

00:16:53.980 who have brains and are thinking and are still willing to question this is the best of the glenbeck

00:17:01.080 program i heard an interview with peter teal uh this morning uh on honestly with barry weiss and uh

00:17:09.260 he said um the republicans are the party of the stupid and uh democrats are the party of evil

00:17:17.720 uh and yeah it's an optimistic picture of our country yeah i know well i mean he's talking about

00:17:24.620 the parties themselves and and i think that's generally good i don't think he's talking about the

00:17:30.400 people uh of the country that identify with those two parties i think we have so much in common but we

00:17:38.180 have just been duped by so many different things did you know that uh open the books has uh revealed

00:17:46.220 that 76 of the 102 rank and file regulatory agencies social security agency environmental protection

00:17:57.840 veterans affairs health and human services the fda uh the um farm people i can't remember what they're

00:18:08.340 i mean all of these things have gunned up i asked you a few minutes ago are they making you safer

00:18:18.080 or less safe are they having you rely on a failing system or on yourself because i'd bet on you

00:18:25.640 every time there are now more federal agents with arrest and firearm authority than there are u.s marines

00:18:35.980 the irs purchased 35.2 million dollars worth of guns ammunition and other tactical gear and then they

00:18:45.340 really picked it up after 2020 they've spent another 10 million dollars just in the last couple of years

00:18:53.040 why why why does the why does the farm people why they worried about cows what are they worried about

00:19:03.540 milkmen with guns

00:19:06.660 and if you have a problem like that you call out the national guard

00:19:13.160 why do all of these agencies have all these guns well we can't answer that question because no one

00:19:21.580 is doing any journalism anymore they are part of the system their job is to be antagonistic

00:19:30.360 toward the government that's their main job they're supposed to be skeptical they represent

00:19:36.240 you but they have flipped this they're supposed to take on the pentagon and the cia and big tech and

00:19:44.740 you don't trust anyone that might have an agenda that is hostile to you but now they're practically on the payroll

00:19:53.840 so you don't trust the media anymore do you trust the cia

00:19:59.380 by the way tucker carlson was always critical of cia always critical of the war pentagon just came out

00:20:08.380 i've never seen the pentagon comment on a commentator never they did did you know let me ask you this

00:20:16.700 have you heard about the document that is a sworn declaration of a 9-11 investigator with the office of military commissions

00:20:28.280 part of the department of defense military commissions defense organization the document dated july 20th

00:20:37.000 2021 and it first appeared on a washington post journalist sub stack not in the washington post it was in

00:20:45.320 jeff stein's spy talk now before i tell you if that if you have you heard about it before i tell you what

00:20:53.800 it is when was the last time you heard any update on anything regarding 9-11

00:21:01.680 i haven't i haven't even thought about it right you know years nothing decade maybe

00:21:09.120 have you heard about this recently discovered sworn declaration anywhere now maybe there's nothing to

00:21:19.600 report here okay well what is it it's just the allegation from multiple fbi agents that the cia was

00:21:31.000 running an illegal domestic spy agency inside the united states that's bad enough the declaration

00:21:39.720 states that the saudis were being used as intermediaries to recruit al-qaeda operatives

00:21:47.360 which the cia wanted to employ

00:21:51.080 the one of the guys an intelligence officer officer an employee of the saudi government

00:22:00.040 was quote directed to attempt to recruit two of the 9-11 hijackers at the saudi consulate in los angeles

00:22:10.920 the declaration by multiple officers alleges the cia knew the two hijackers were inside the united states

00:22:19.660 and they were trying to recruit them through an illegal domestic espionage operation and they were

00:22:26.600 trying to hide everything from the fbi this information just came out why isn't that all over

00:22:36.700 the media the cia was running illegal operations that accidentally led to the worst tragedy on

00:22:45.200 american soil seems kind of newsworthy where's the curiosity is it a problem of sourcing maybe they

00:22:54.960 didn't have good sources let me tell you what they have swearing behind this document 11 x fbi agents

00:23:02.560 two x cia agents a cnn investigative journalist former deputy of national security advisor richard clark

00:23:13.880 and former senator bob graham but just those guys just those guys why doesn't anybody care i'll tell you why

00:23:26.400 they don't care because how many times have you heard in the last six years according to our sources

00:23:31.940 at the nsa according to a cia official that doesn't want to be named according to our intelligence

00:23:39.780 community this is what's happening they have been infiltrated and they are bought and sold

00:23:47.920 whether they know it or not i have no idea

00:23:53.620 why is this allowed to stand because we're distracted we're not paying attention and you

00:24:06.080 think you don't have any power did you hear randy weingarten when she came out a couple of days ago

00:24:13.700 i was there i was advocating for the reopening of schools no you weren't the teachers union

00:24:21.000 that was the biggest obstacle we couldn't open because of the teachers union

00:24:27.880 so you get away with this yes mainstream media yes i think elon musk may end up being the most

00:24:37.740 important freedom of speech guy that has lived in a long time it was twitter users that took the

00:24:45.580 claim made by politifact about the teachers union um you know advocating for schools and covid

00:24:54.800 he's added something called community notes it's a good feature it's a great feature i think it was

00:25:00.700 actually added before he started but now it's actually being utilized the way it should be

00:25:05.040 where they will correct people on the left too right right and they're adding you have to add sources

00:25:11.360 and then it has to be verified and is this true well it's been verified and it's been twitter

00:25:18.720 users not twitter users you have a memory you remember these things you have to stand up and share them

00:25:29.900 and you have to support the people who are doing it did you see 36 percent of americans would watch

00:25:37.660 tucker carlson online 36 but just took a poll 36 percent of americans would watch him online

00:25:45.400 a lot of speculation according to i think this is news max about where carlson's next move might be

00:25:52.020 although a lot could depend on his contract status with fox and how soon he can negotiate his release

00:25:57.040 from the network odds maker bovada you know that bovada bovada uh has glenn beck's online network

00:26:04.680 blaze tv as the three to two favorite in landing carlson news max is next at five to two

00:26:11.820 um you know but sometimes the underdog wins i'm just saying tucker come to jamaica anyway but you're

00:26:20.800 the favorite why are you want the underdog to win no i know sometimes the underdog wins oh i see okay so

00:26:25.480 i'm not i'm not counting any chicken until it's in my left no i'm not counting a chicken until it's on

00:26:31.520 my plate and i got a fork in it anyway um there are truth tellers and there are people that are

00:26:40.000 trying to do it i am i'm not asking you to join the blaze against anybody else if you could afford

00:29:28.160 my name is roger bastion i wear many hats i am a theater director okay everyone listen up today's

00:29:39.420 gonna be a big day i am a theater owner this would be very off-putting for an audience member they may

00:29:45.980 feel that they're in a crack house i'm a crowd pleaser why are the cameras here they are filming a

00:29:51.740 documentary well it's a huge hollywood film and they're going to be watching us reopen the theater

00:29:57.260 you just said documentary don't start with me today okay we're gonna clean up we're gonna disinfect

00:30:05.820 we're gonna reopen

00:30:08.220 the most accurate form of coronavirus testing is anal swab anal swab like your anal area or anal

00:30:21.260 what goes what goes what goes in the anal oh my god what time is it roger it's 11 32 a.m guess what

00:30:29.740 you've won the lottery no i'm kidding you've won something better a role in my show yes it might be

00:30:36.540 off-putting and scare an audience if they think that you're scared my line's coming up the water's moving

00:30:42.860 oh my gosh you will laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh uh kelsey cook uh is one of the stars she plays uh

00:31:06.860 penny and chris gara is uh the i i think you're the director you're the co-writer co-director co-director

00:31:15.100 actor owner yeah the theater editor you're hysterical just hysterical so i'm a huge fan i mean it it uh

00:31:25.180 there's there's really two movies that i judge people on if you don't like the princess bride and

00:31:32.700 that's a pretty low hurdle if you don't like the princess bride we cannot be friends if you don't

00:31:39.260 like uh christopher guest films we'll never be good friends okay no um this just screams christopher

00:31:48.220 guest yeah they do it all improv how do you do this um same thing i mean we wrote a very strong

00:31:56.060 outline scene by scene we wrote uh very detailed character descriptions because characters are most

00:32:01.100 important and do they develop them on their own and then come to the table with a character no we

00:32:07.900 set who the characters were and then film them for an hour and a half each interviewing them and let

00:32:12.380 them develop before we even started shooting oh wow okay and then those characters when they all came

00:32:17.340 together they had this long history of who they were and how they interact with people so and then they

00:32:22.940 also changed as we went along sometimes it was availability sometimes it was just relationships

00:32:29.100 changed because of the stories that we just improv'd on the spot um my character penny we had a really

00:32:34.460 hard time figuring out her story and i actually did not like her at first i was really bored with her

00:32:39.820 and we all co-wrote it with math matthew coppin and um we uh we just had a hard time figuring her out

00:32:47.660 and how she was going to come out we we had an idea of what she wanted to do at the end but couldn't

00:32:51.900 figure it out and um through the six months it took us to make this film um and actors availability is

00:32:59.820 changing she had her shining moment and it just all came together the uh there was one who was on

00:33:06.300 skype the whole time yeah uh representing that person that just doesn't want to come in i would

00:33:11.420 imagine was that real or not yeah we had many uh hurdles to overcome based on on people's uh comfort

00:33:21.020 level at the time because we were all different and we didn't know what we were doing we were

00:33:24.620 figuring it out as we went and so we accommodated everybody based on their comfort levels and that

00:33:30.300 was a real thing that we all encountered zoom right and the struggles with zoom every piece where

00:33:35.900 the zoom pops out and it cuts out is real it actually was live and the timing was just incredible

00:33:41.580 it was just perfect it's just perfect it was the one take we're like because it's like because it's

00:33:45.900 it's real yeah i mean everything you did we all met people like this we all uh went through things

00:33:54.460 like this and and then you just took it to the next level when at what point because i think we were

00:34:03.420 before it was all politicized yes we were all alike and i give everybody the benefit of the doubt uh

00:34:10.700 except for fauci at the very beginning the very beginning i think everybody was just we didn't

00:34:16.460 know what was coming everybody was just doing their best at what point did you look at each other and go

00:34:25.980 okay okay this is just a comedy show you know what it's interesting when it started out there's a line

00:34:31.500 in the film that just says we're just trying to figure it out the cdc guy says this but in the beginning

00:34:37.340 stages like vaccines hadn't come out yet nothing really i mean we were just literally on set going

00:34:41.340 okay let's make this work we want to create right we want to perform so bad we've been sitting at home

00:34:45.820 this this can't happen we need to let an outlet right i think halfway through the the project right

00:34:51.820 is when it started to get more crazy this is a little ridiculous and again though every shoot day

00:34:59.260 we were very careful we're like okay how do we do a mockumentary and not mock

00:35:04.780 coat people dying yes right yeah so oh i think you did a great job yeah it was oh when the inspector

00:35:12.140 the anal swab thing is i mean i watched it then i said honey you gotta come and see this and she sat

00:35:18.940 down she watched it and then my son walked in and i'm like you gotta watch this the whole family

00:35:25.180 watched this yeah it's all that's fine the whole family and i don't know very many films where you can get

00:35:32.220 the teenagers and the parents sitting down and all laughing at the same we've said too you know

00:35:39.260 when the kids go to sleep we watch our movies during the day the kids watch their movies right

00:35:43.580 and i hate that i do i want that to come back where when we watch a kid's movie with our kids and they

00:35:49.020 laugh and they see us laugh they they watch us yes and then it becomes this then they want to talk

00:35:54.620 about the film afterwards and we want to bring that back where families can watch films together

00:35:59.100 it is such a missing and it has gotten worse and worse and worse to where you know it's so gratuitous

00:36:06.140 at times it's like it's not necessary why do you do that i think comedy is is therapy too comedy

00:36:12.780 oh yeah comedy is from the beginning we wanted to do comedy but we we say we do comedy with heart

00:36:18.540 we want it to show hope and joy in the middle of something that was so chaotic and so unsure we

00:36:24.220 didn't know what we were doing but we found hope i think that is the secret to ricky gervais

00:36:31.180 every single thing he does um i know what was the one where he played the handicap guy in the

00:36:39.500 it's all uh uh kexton or something extra no no he played a handicap guy in a nursing home

00:36:46.380 uh and you're watching it and and it's parts of it are just completely outrageous and it's so funny

00:36:55.420 but over the whole arc of the show it just screams heart and it ties up at the end where you're like

00:37:03.340 oh my gosh that's sweet right and that doesn't happen very often no well let's let's not be let's

00:37:09.500 laugh at stuff but then if you get to enjoy the character's experience in it and then you get to kind

00:37:15.980 of peek in on what their life is like then you there's heart in that there's hope in that yeah

00:37:19.580 right yeah like we're not and it's really laughing at the insanity right yes but of the even the

00:37:23.980 wheelchair thing right but then you get to know he is you're like oh this guy is a sweet guy yeah

00:37:30.060 it's really uh especially now this i think would make anybody laugh even not fauci but pretty much

00:37:39.820 everybody else would laugh at this it's not political it's just the funny look at what we

00:37:48.380 and i think we can laugh now yeah and i think we what we say is it just holds a mirror up to what

00:37:52.460 was happening it's just literally i remember being you know up at night scrolling social media and

00:37:57.740 seeing the anal swab thing happening and just literally telling did you guys know who knew about

00:38:02.540 that i found it on the news and i said we're literally putting it who on the staff when you

00:38:08.220 were shooting that we didn't we didn't tell them until we didn't tell them until right before we

00:38:12.060 shot it just did it because well i wanted to get real real if you watch the other camera angle

00:38:15.740 right yeah it's just them going oh they're so they're just holding back and their reaction to it

00:38:24.860 if that was all just spontaneous reaction yeah what ain't what par anal what i mean it was just so

00:38:34.060 so good it's a beauty too of just how talented those performers are how many times do you have to

00:38:39.420 reshoot because you break each other up oh man i mean there is so much footage there's there's there's

00:38:45.500 an eight hour movie lots of bloopers to share there's tons of extra scenes too we we had to do maybe two

00:38:51.900 two to three takes and yeah we would break sometimes but we just told people like never

00:38:57.100 never go oh shoot i messed up no just stop and pull it back together and keep going so we can

00:39:02.860 somehow cut around it otherwise that just would have been i mean we were always breaking up even our

00:39:07.980 the co-director and dp who was filming he had a mask on because we were required to at the time

00:39:12.220 and uh i did air quotes and um he said i'm glad i had a mask on because then they couldn't see me

00:39:17.260 laughing for eight hours a day oh my gosh i mean i don't know how you kept a straight face it's it's

00:39:22.700 just great and that just kept rolling it uh it premieres tonight and i have to say i i don't know

00:39:28.460 your political stance i don't want to know your political stance i'd like to go back to an era where

00:39:34.060 nobody knows anybody's political stance and even if we disagree with each other we still like each

00:39:39.020 other yes i know in today's world it if you don't know this yet you will it comes at a price to even

00:39:47.340 be on my program yeah in your business uh and i thank you for being brave enough to and again i

00:39:53.580 don't know your political stance at all thank you for being brave enough to try to bring comedy back

00:40:00.940 on in a way that everybody can laugh well i we we want to bridge the gap we do like why does it have

00:40:07.260 to be a left wing or right wing or political film why can't we just all laugh when we did a cast and

00:40:12.940 crew screening we had tons of people come and i'm gonna say we were in hollywood so 98 were probably

00:40:18.860 democrats watching the film they came out and loved it there was no were you mocking were you

00:40:25.740 doing this there's none of that they just said wow i got to laugh yeah and just a crazy time

00:40:30.780 actually thanked us they said thank you for giving us permission to laugh right and i i will tell

00:40:34.940 you i think conservatives will watch that and they will walk out and you would expect them to go

00:40:41.820 right you gave it to them because i mean everything that was crazy you guys pointed out was crazy but

00:40:50.220 it's not political right it's just that's crazy and let's get back to that yeah where we can watch a

00:40:57.260 comedy and not think what's the agenda right yeah no we laughed and loved comedy it's everything now

00:41:04.060 and i think that's very american it's what very american just to to be able to create something

00:41:09.900 from nothing and for everyone to enjoy it yeah and you know what uh the reason why comedy does so

00:41:17.260 well here in america i think or has in the past is because dictators hate comedy comedy changes the world

00:41:27.580 lenny bruce changed everything there's a reason these people are arrested uh in times when they're

00:41:35.420 somebody's got a choke hold on them yeah comedy is important so our society can move forward

00:41:43.500 i i get messages all the time i do a lot of social media and tick tocks and all that stuff and

00:41:47.580 i get messages all the time saying hey i was in the hospital watched a video and i haven't laughed or

00:41:52.700 i lost a son and i i'm i haven't laughed in a year and i watched the video and i just thought

00:41:57.100 this is what comedy is for right yeah it's it's it's because at no point did i think

00:42:04.540 of anybody that had been lost or you know anybody in my family or somebody else's family that we know

00:42:09.980 that lost a loved one it doesn't go there at all and we we made sure of that yeah every shoot day we

00:42:16.060 would say we would do a scene and go was this joyful or were we just being negative even attacking

00:42:21.340 characters we were very we rode the line i hate a character in the film yeah which you'll see his

00:42:25.820 name is bryce and i hate him but even through that we're like there has to be a redeeming moment

00:42:31.340 that's where i just hate to hate so great so great thank you sincerely for being here and i can't wait

00:42:37.100 for the audience to see it premieres tonight on blaze tv um if you don't have a subscription
