00:00:00.000 Today's guest has undoubtedly made you laugh at some point.

00:00:04.360 You may have even quoted some of his catchphrases over the years.

00:00:08.420 He spent a few seasons on Saturday Night Live back when it was still doing comedy, you know, the golden era, along with Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Janine Garofalo, Chris Rock, Phil Hartman, David Spade, Mike Myers, Dennis Miller.

00:00:24.200 Some of his characters, he's played a gigolo, a Martian, a dinosaur, a prince, a guru, a donkey rider, a sensitive nudist, a delivery guy, creepy Elvis, a crime-fighting animal, a surf ninja, a petty criminal who morphs into Rachel McAdams, and a copy machine guy who loves to give people nicknames.

00:00:50.280 He starred along with Jean-Claude Van Damme in a movie about counterfeit fashion.

00:00:56.900 Seinfeld, he was the guy who might have been faking a hearing problem.

00:01:02.340 Repo Man, he mocked Stallone's ignorance about toilet paper.

00:01:06.700 In Waterboy, he turned four simple words, you can do it, into an iconic punchline.

00:01:14.740 He is a core member of Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions.

00:01:19.020 He has been the main character in sitcoms on CBS and in Netflix.

00:01:24.320 In 2020, Netflix released a stand-up special, Asian Mama, Mexican Kids.

00:01:29.620 His latest movie, Daddy Daughter Trip, comes to theaters at the end of September.

00:01:35.980 Holy cow, he's also on the road all the time.

00:01:39.220 Maybe the most impressive thing that he has done is to tell the world he's not a woke leftist.

00:01:47.040 He is awake.

00:01:49.480 Please welcome Rob Schneider.

00:01:51.940 I don't know if you've been paying attention to the news, but there seems to be some shortage of, you know, things like food, gas, you know, inflation.

00:02:07.500 There's plenty of money, it seems.

00:02:08.940 It seems shortages of food are inevitable, and I don't know how bad it's going to get here in America, but the rest of the world, it's going to be, it's going to be real bad.

00:02:22.040 Do you have a stockpile of emergency food?

00:03:15.800 Welcome, L. King's dad.

00:03:30.360 It finally happened.

00:03:31.740 The last time I had a famous dad who was having a famous daughter on the show, I was at CNN,

00:03:42.080 and it was Billy Ray Cyrus.

00:03:47.640 And I said to him, are you sure?

00:03:51.960 I mean, and he said, oh, my daughter has had the gospel drilled into her, and she's got good family values.

00:03:59.200 There's no way she's going to be twerking in 18 months.

00:04:02.120 It's not possible.

00:04:03.940 This girl, she's from Nashville.

00:04:05.940 She's not going to be corrupted by Hollywood.

00:04:08.480 Cut to.

00:04:09.820 Now, your daughter, though, is 31.

00:04:12.840 Yeah, she's doing good.

00:04:14.480 I'm happy for her.

00:04:15.500 She just, you know, I was wondering, I said, why would she want it?

00:04:18.760 But she was a stage rat.

00:04:20.340 She was around all those movies.

00:04:21.920 I put her in Deuce Bigelow.

00:04:23.140 I didn't even have to give her notes.

00:04:24.320 She just knew it.

00:04:25.560 And I said, either actress.

00:04:26.500 But I think the music business is more supportive, and I do think you can get out of it.

00:04:31.560 And I think country music is the more loyal fans.

00:04:34.440 She's drifted there.

00:04:36.140 She had a hit, a number one hit with Miranda Lambert and Drunk, which is, you know, as your dad, you know.

00:04:43.540 Your daughter has a number one song.

00:04:45.000 Yeah.

00:04:45.600 What's it called?

00:04:46.180 Drunk.

00:04:46.780 Oh, good then.

00:04:49.540 She's not twerking yet, is she?

00:04:50.960 The, my daughter is, ever since she was little, I've called her Lucy, because she's Lucille Ball.

00:05:00.000 She's just hysterical.

00:05:02.020 And she wants to act and everything else.

00:05:05.300 I've done everything I can.

00:05:06.800 I don't want to hold her back.

00:05:08.260 Yeah.

00:05:08.500 I've done everything I can to, like, not really reconsider.

00:05:12.400 Well, the rejection of it, it's like, you know, especially if you've gone through it.

00:05:15.500 But the weird thing about it, and she's so talented, you know.

00:05:18.900 And she, she really pushed it.

00:05:21.360 Ellie, I'm so proud of her.

00:05:23.660 But the thing about it, it's like, the people most susceptible to the pitfalls of show business

00:05:28.900 are the ones most attracted to it.

00:05:30.860 And so when you, when you think about, like, I mean, after a while you've been around for

00:05:35.020 enough people, like, they're gone now, you know.

00:05:37.920 Like, you know, like Prince, I remember, like, we did that a few years ago.

00:05:42.480 And that's about the average for the entertainer, 57.

00:05:46.620 Because that's how, that's how tough it is.

00:05:48.520 You're 58.

00:05:49.720 Yeah, so I've just made it.

00:05:51.460 I'm just, like, kind of hanging there.

00:05:53.100 On borrowed time.

00:05:55.160 Yeah, but that's the average.

00:05:56.500 I mean, that's an old statistic.

00:05:57.700 But I think that's pretty much the average if you add it together.

00:05:59.940 I guess that's including the rock bands and the drummers who explode.

00:06:03.160 Are you, and why is that, do you think?

00:06:07.300 I do think, I think it's the pressure.

00:06:09.140 I think it's the travel.

00:06:11.500 I think it's the drugs.

00:06:13.420 And it's, it has those, like I said, like, I remember, like, the first day I ever heard

00:06:19.840 about Chris Farley, who's gone now.

00:06:21.920 I can't believe he's been gone over 20-something years now.

00:06:25.540 Um, the first time I heard about him was from Bob Odenkirk.

00:06:29.260 Bob Odenkirk was a writer.

00:06:30.660 He's brilliant.

00:06:31.420 Yeah, he was a writer on SNL.

00:06:33.480 And he said to me, and I remember, because I was, you know, when I was first in SNL,

00:06:37.160 he said, there's a new guy coming.

00:06:38.500 And I was, I was just kind of freaked out that I was on the floor, you know?

00:06:41.760 And then behind him was, like, he had an office looking at the Empire State Building.

00:06:45.420 So when he was talking to me, I went, like, he's got an office?

00:06:48.540 He has an office in the Empire State Building?

00:06:50.580 I'm just a kid from, you know, from a beach town.

00:06:54.100 And, um, he said, oh, there's a new guy they're hiring next, uh, next year.

00:06:57.880 Really funny out of Second City.

00:07:00.120 Uh, his name's Chris Farley.

00:07:02.000 He's not going to live long, but he's really, really funny.

00:07:04.280 Is that really how they said that?

00:07:05.300 He said it that coldly.

00:07:07.260 Wow.

00:07:07.900 And it put a, put a chill in me.

00:07:09.240 And you know what, though?

00:07:10.280 And I was like, that wasn't very nice.

00:07:11.860 But then he was right.

00:07:14.440 He, he knew that this, this guy had, you know, some proclivity.

00:07:18.640 Did Chris know it?

00:07:20.580 And I don't think that was part of the danger, was for people, they think if they survive

00:07:27.600 a, um, you know, one of those things where they bring you back and, uh, and like, it's

00:07:33.200 one of the things when Nirvana was on, like on the Thursday night, uh, the lead singer,

00:07:38.380 uh, Kurt Cobain, he, they, he had to go to the hospital and he was like, you know, recessed

00:07:43.780 or whatever things they had to do.

00:07:45.520 And then he did a show that Saturday.

00:07:46.800 And I remember being on stage with him going like, Ooh, there's something off, you know,

00:07:50.920 about it.

00:07:51.400 And like just a darkness, you know, um, and a tired or fatigue that I just never seen with

00:07:57.520 a young person.

00:07:58.420 And Chris, like towards the, you know, they, he just didn't think he could die.

00:08:03.080 And that's, that's the danger.

00:08:04.260 And the thing about Chris, a sweet, a sweetheart, even when he was high, you know, sometimes the

00:08:08.920 real beast comes out of somebody who's a drunk and a mean drunk.

00:08:11.680 Like he was a sweet, super nice guy, but I think he thought it was like a joke.

00:08:15.620 And one of the things that like, you know, I didn't show up at a party one time because

00:08:20.640 I knew he was going to be there and he was still using.

00:08:22.760 And I, like, I did one, if you show up, you're tacitly approving of it.

00:08:27.340 And, um, he was doing a movie and it really made me angry at the time with the, with the,

00:08:31.400 you know, Brillstein Gray, which is managed with that.

00:08:34.520 They were still making money off of him when they knew he had a problem, you know?

00:08:38.140 And, but at the same time he wanted to work.

00:08:40.220 So, you know, I've become less angry, but also like Columbia, Sony Columbia was making

00:08:44.900 a picture with him knowing that he had a, you know, was a drug addict and should be in

00:08:49.940 therapy.

00:08:50.540 I think that's the, the hard part.

00:08:53.100 I remember when they trademarked my name and all of a sudden I, I felt like a product.

00:08:59.360 All of a sudden I was like, Oh my God, I'm, I'm, I'm no longer a human being.

00:09:02.780 I'm a product.

00:09:03.500 And that's, I think part of the problem with, especially when I was working with, you know,

00:09:09.680 Fox and, and everything, you don't exist, you know, you don't really exist.

00:09:15.600 You are something that they use to just push out in front.

00:09:21.020 Well, that's the problem with, um, mainstream media as it moves through.

00:09:26.080 I mean, Noam Chomsky, who, um, I agree with a lot of stuff, some stuff I don't, but like

00:09:32.740 he described it in the manufacture of consent really well as a wrecking machine, a wrecking

00:09:41.340 ball that is just destroying and destroying things and moving on.

00:09:44.680 And it never goes back to check the destruction that it leaves behind.

00:09:48.260 And I do think that like, you know, it's human beings and the way that, um, you know, it's

00:09:53.720 happening again with social media and the people that can be just swept under the rug, just

00:09:58.480 destroyed and people who, who's, uh, it's just a new way of, um, it's a new, uh, you know,

00:10:04.980 what I call it, it's, it's a new religion.

00:10:07.660 It is a, this wokeism thing.

00:10:09.860 It's, it really is, it does fit into it and there's so many tacits to it and it's coming

00:10:13.740 from the left and it is a Marcusean religion that is happening and it is if, and just like

00:10:22.620 any religion or just like what it was when, um, extremists, whether it was in the Spanish

00:10:27.860 Inquisition, there's going to be heretics and these heretics need to get burned and now

00:10:32.780 it's the stake of social media and I've been one of those and you've been one of those.

00:10:38.560 But wait a minute, wait, wait, you just quoted Noam Chomsky.

00:10:43.420 Yes.

00:10:43.920 So where is our nexus?

00:10:46.220 First of all, what the hell are you thinking being on this program?

00:10:48.660 You have to listen, you have to listen to people with it.

00:10:51.240 Like, and, and like, I agree with like, first of all, Noam Chomsky talking about American

00:10:56.460 foreign policy.

00:10:57.220 It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican, it's the same crap.

00:11:01.160 You have the same Republicans who you would think would not go, would think not want to

00:11:05.060 put $40 billion into a war in the Ukraine and they put more into that.

00:11:09.780 60 now.

00:11:10.340 Yeah.

00:11:10.940 And it's like, we should be putting that here.

00:11:13.520 We could be putting that and putting that, you know, whether it's protecting schools like

00:11:17.180 that Maya Flores says we should, we could be doing, and I know it's up to the states to

00:11:21.720 do, but for their own, but the, the fact of the matter is Ukraine, as Obama said, is not

00:11:29.080 a national priority, it is not a national security issue.

00:11:34.240 Yeah.

00:11:34.300 It's not in our interest.

00:11:35.500 What Ukraine had a chance to be was Sweden.

00:11:38.560 And if they really would have given a shit about, if they wouldn't, you know, just this

00:11:41.840 warmongering and money-making thing, they could have turned in Ukraine into Switzerland.

00:11:47.980 It could have been a tech Switzerland, the breadbasket and also a tech wonderland.

00:11:52.180 And it could have done, and they should have been riding the middle, not being forced.

00:11:58.380 And it was NATO and it was the United States foreign policy, another, you know, misguided

00:12:03.400 foreign policy, pushing Ukraine to the edge.

00:12:06.520 And for anybody who goes like, yes, but they need, deserve to have freedom.

00:12:09.700 I go, okay, if you want to put missiles facing toward, on the border of Ukraine facing toward

00:12:17.600 Russia, it's just very simple.

00:12:19.000 You just tell people, let's have China putting missiles in Tijuana facing toward California.

00:12:24.860 That's going to stay, those missiles are going to stay there for about 36 seconds before

00:12:29.180 they get wiped out.

00:12:30.540 And so you have to, you know, you got to respect Russia's sovereignty.

00:12:35.740 And you also have to know that like, Russia is not the enemy.

00:12:39.420 Russia isn't.

00:12:40.080 They just aren't.

00:12:40.880 And that shit's got to stop.

00:12:42.560 It really does.

00:12:43.220 Russia's got the GDP of Texas, roughly.

00:12:49.420 And so they don't have the money to do it.

00:12:51.620 And we have more in common with Russia than uncommon.

00:12:55.740 We have our differences.

00:12:57.580 The enemy is China.

00:12:59.500 China wants to destroy any semblance of freedom in the world.

00:13:04.000 That is the enemy.

00:13:05.700 And that is something we need to focus on.

00:13:07.640 And it is, and it should be treasonous to sell schools, farmland in the United States.

00:13:17.000 What are we thinking?

00:13:19.580 That is lunacy.

00:13:21.780 And that is dangerous.

00:13:23.340 And I really, I hope that we'll have a leader very soon who will, you know, understand that.

00:13:35.480 Understand that.

00:13:36.260 Yeah.

00:13:36.460 Yeah.

00:13:36.920 It is.

00:13:37.440 It's terrifying what we're doing.

00:13:39.080 I mean, I was just talking to Vivek Rameshwamy.

00:13:41.600 Do you know who he is?

00:13:43.280 Vivek Rameshwamy.

00:13:44.320 He is a guy who's been in tech and pharmaceuticals and Wall Street, and he just started an anti-ESG index going right after BlackRock.

00:13:57.480 But instead of tearing them down, he's just saying, move your, any investment you have in energy, American energy, move it over here.

00:14:06.580 Because our shareholders are saying, drill, do what's right for your company, not for some global entity that is trying to control things.

00:14:18.800 Well, the sad facts are green energy, I would love it to work.

00:14:26.260 Me too.

00:14:26.780 I would think if green energy was the answer, it would be, I mean, I would celebrate it and it would be fantastic.

00:14:33.000 And, you know, there's a really interesting documentary called, and another name that would not come up here much, Michael Moore.

00:14:40.600 He's the executive producer of this movie called Planet of the Humans.

00:14:45.140 And it exposes, and it's by, these are liberals who just, and God bless these.

00:14:49.760 People who really believe it should be pissed at all of this garbage.

00:14:54.940 It's anger.

00:14:55.720 But the thing about it, it's like, I would love it to work, but it does not work.

00:15:00.400 And it is sickening, and it is, it is really an abomination.

00:15:06.780 Because what it really is, is it not only doesn't work, it's making the situation worse.

00:15:11.560 So here's what happens, and how it's affecting, like, the, you know, the middle class in America, and the poor.

00:15:18.480 And it's, in many ways, first of all, there are these, there's about 300 of them in the United States.

00:15:23.400 And the only reason that these green energy plants, these green, you know, is because they're getting 11%.

00:15:30.320 They're getting 11% from the government.

00:15:32.800 That's the only reason they can be profitable.

00:15:34.320 They don't burn hot enough.

00:15:36.300 So what they have to do is use trees.

00:15:40.560 So what do they do?

00:15:41.600 And they got to use trees to, like, to burn that.

00:15:44.600 So it's worse than coal.

00:15:46.140 So, because what they, here's what the thing about, because they, to get the trees, they can't just put the trees in the, in the furnace.

00:15:53.100 Right.

00:15:53.280 They got to chop it up.

00:15:54.160 And what do they use to chop it up?

00:15:56.180 Petrol in these wood chippers.

00:15:58.160 And they chop it up into small pieces.

00:16:00.100 And the petrol that they're using, of course, is, you know, what are they complaining about?

00:16:03.800 Diesel.

00:16:04.380 And then it doesn't burn hot enough.

00:16:07.240 So, Glenn, what they have to put on top of the wood chips is what?

00:16:11.660 Tires.

00:16:12.680 Oh, my gosh.

00:16:12.860 Can you believe it?

00:16:13.760 So they have to chop the tires up.

00:16:15.560 So they got to use more petrol to chop the tires up.

00:16:18.640 So the tires into little tiny balls, and they chop it up into there using petrol.

00:16:22.880 And then they're burning tires.

00:16:24.220 And then these plants pollute burning tires.

00:16:27.900 So it's like, it's like a little piece of, it's like India's air around those places.

00:16:32.260 And, and this is ignored, is ignored by the liberal intelligence.

00:16:38.560 At the same time, actual clean energy, natural gas, and, and nuclear energy completely ignored,

00:16:47.040 completely ignored.

00:16:48.500 I mean, I really, truly, but here's the problem with the global warming thing.

00:16:52.560 I can read a thermometer.

00:16:54.440 Yeah.

00:16:54.660 I think it's arrogant to think we could control the weather, but it's not arrogant to think

00:17:00.580 that we could affect the planet deeply and possibly that changes things.

00:17:04.980 Yes.

00:17:05.000 Well, that's, that's exactly right.

00:17:06.300 I'm so glad you brought that up because there's a difference between global warming.

00:17:12.000 And the, first of all, the idea that, that the liberals, I'm sorry that the, cause they're

00:17:18.040 the ones propagating this is that, um, and first of all, as you know, like 40 years ago,

00:17:22.800 they were talking about a new ice age, you know, global cooling, global cooling.

00:17:26.160 And so, but what happens is it isn't this thing where it's, where you can just look and go,

00:17:29.740 Oh, look at this.

00:17:30.460 It's going up.

00:17:31.340 No, it's like weather is just, and the planet and the cycles and the tens of thousands of years,

00:17:37.000 not just a hundred years.

00:17:38.080 Yeah.

00:17:38.600 It's up and down.

00:17:39.620 And so you'll have some, and so if, if we are affecting things, it's going to be, uh,

00:17:45.780 it's going to be spikes and there will be, you know, maybe more intense, shorter winters

00:17:49.940 and maybe, uh, longer hot summers, whatever.

00:17:53.860 In some place will be drought.

00:17:54.880 Some place will be flood, but you just can't go off of and say, this is for sure.

00:17:59.300 There are an effect that affects people.

00:18:01.960 And I am very, very much into this.

00:18:04.060 Like, I do think that, like, I do agree that like overfishing is a real problem.

00:18:09.620 But you're not, but overfishing is different than taking, having, um, Washington, Oregon,

00:18:18.040 Idaho, take five dams down, hydroelectric dams.

00:18:23.620 Well, that's, yeah, that's a limited situation.

00:18:25.400 Yeah, because of the salmon can't swim upstream.

00:18:28.660 Well, you're going to have to make choices.

00:18:30.100 You're going to have to choose, and I'm always going to choose people.

00:18:32.560 I'm always going to choose peoples.

00:18:34.340 You have to, I mean, that's the one thing going back to like, I know,

00:18:36.780 Noam Shamsky, he said, the most important thing is the human condition.

00:18:39.800 He's right about that.

00:18:40.840 How do we increase the human condition?

00:18:42.560 Yeah.

00:18:43.020 That is.

00:18:43.620 This is what you said, Malthusian, earlier.

00:18:45.760 You're right.

00:18:46.580 This whole thing is anti-human.

00:18:49.520 That, at least that's the way I feel.

00:18:51.660 It is.

00:18:52.140 It crushes the human spirit.

00:18:53.540 It's a godless ideology of crushing the human spirit,

00:18:58.100 and it's just another way to just, to sex up, sexy up communism and say,

00:19:02.620 well, look at that.

00:19:03.880 Right now, as the sun climbs high into the morning sky,

00:19:07.360 there's a guy in Texas checking his fourth or fifth oil rig,

00:19:10.720 making sure the machinery is in proper working order,

00:19:13.540 and feeling that sun beat down on his neck.

00:19:16.740 A thousand miles away from him, in Iowa,

00:19:19.540 a farmer's wife is out digging in the garden she planned behind the house,

00:19:22.760 pulling bright red tomatoes right off the vine.

00:19:26.040 And in Florida, there's a guy walking the uncrowded morning beach,

00:19:30.160 waving a metal detector in search for something that would be a treasure.

00:19:35.660 What do all these people have in common?

00:19:37.980 Well, they're Americans,

00:19:39.120 but they're also walking around in comfortable American socks.

00:19:43.200 And it's weird because they're not the goofy looking ones with the guy in the metal detector.

00:19:47.640 If you want socks that will keep your feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter,

00:19:52.520 socks made with the latest wool technology and made right here in America,

00:19:56.760 I urge you to try Grip 6.

00:19:59.700 I wear them.

00:20:00.420 They are great, great socks.

00:20:02.700 They hold their elasticity.

00:20:05.140 They fit like a glove.

00:20:06.840 It's really great.

00:20:08.240 Hard-earned money that you have.

00:20:10.860 Buy it once.

00:20:11.800 Buy it right.

00:20:12.680 And buy it from a company in America.

00:20:14.920 Grip6.com slash Beck.

00:20:17.260 Go there now.

00:20:17.840 You left.

00:20:20.720 Were you officially a Democrat?

00:20:22.880 Yes, I was.

00:20:23.900 I mean, why wouldn't you be?

00:20:25.220 All the good looking girls are supermodels.

00:20:27.620 They don't know.

00:20:28.120 They don't read anything, but they're Democrats.

00:20:30.160 I want to be in that room.

00:20:31.300 All the cool parties, the Vanity Fair party.

00:20:33.920 It's liberals.

00:20:34.740 Well, I want to get in there.

00:20:35.940 Right.

00:20:36.300 Then you have to wake up.

00:20:39.920 You have to.

00:20:41.080 I say this, and I said this 10 years ago or nine years ago.

00:20:43.980 I said, I didn't leave the Democratic Party.

00:20:45.920 They left me.

00:20:46.780 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:47.220 Because it's not about, I mean, the traditional liberal values.

00:20:50.100 And I will say about conservatism.

00:20:51.700 Conservatism is basically adopting what was radical 100 years ago.

00:20:57.640 And now here we are.

00:20:58.500 We're for women's rights.

00:21:00.200 Women's rights are under threat by who?

00:21:02.540 By these liberal intelligences.

00:21:03.860 Not even using the word woman anymore.

00:21:06.480 So you have this very weird.

00:21:08.680 I was trying to come up with something for you that seems smart.

00:21:11.260 And I said, he does read.

00:21:14.900 He's thinking.

00:21:15.780 He brings it.

00:21:16.540 He brought it today on Glenn Beck.

00:21:18.080 You saw him.

00:21:18.660 You saw him, didn't you?

00:21:20.080 And I was trying to think.

00:21:21.280 I said, is there something like, you know.

00:21:22.820 And I said, you have like the Snopes trial, which is the 1920s, like William Jennings,

00:21:27.520 Brian Guy, and Christianity, you know, and creationism.

00:21:32.780 And then you had the brilliant attorney.

00:21:35.560 I didn't bring it.

00:21:36.940 Charles.

00:21:37.640 Charles.

00:21:38.860 No, no.

00:21:39.660 What is it?

00:21:40.180 We know.

00:21:40.740 Yeah, so then you have the evolution.

00:21:43.280 And then like the whole point of the play, Inherit the Wind, is like, well, we showed those creationisms, didn't we?

00:21:53.900 This was the common sense.

00:21:55.640 These people are so stuck in their ways now.

00:21:58.260 They just can't open their eyes to like there's another way.

00:22:01.360 And maybe there's another way that God decided to create things.

00:22:04.660 And they just refuse, you know.

00:22:05.880 The people are like, well, dinosaur bones were planted by the devil.

00:22:08.660 Those guys are like, well, no, no, maybe God had a different plan.

00:22:12.980 But what happens now is you have the atheists are now on that side where they're totally closed off.

00:22:22.180 Oh, yeah.

00:22:22.520 And won't look.

00:22:23.660 Look, the left has become everything they used to stand against.

00:22:29.940 You know what I mean?

00:22:30.940 They are.

00:22:31.800 It's like the left is like standing back to back with what they used to mock and the way that what they used to believe.

00:22:40.320 And now it's become if you fight against it, it's heretical.

00:22:43.640 I mean, even like Maya Flores, who's this, you know, lovely Republican who finally won in this part of Texas, which is I never heard of that part of Texas.

00:22:53.040 Texas is so huge.

00:22:54.420 It is big.

00:22:55.100 And it's like there's a part of I didn't even know there's a congressman down there.

00:22:57.880 I thought I still thought that was part of Mexico.

00:23:00.080 And so did Mexico.

00:23:01.020 And there's nothing but Mexicans there.

00:23:02.440 And they still think it's mostly part of Mexico.

00:23:04.440 So this part would always voted Democratic, finally voted after 154 years, voted for this lovely Republican.

00:23:12.560 And she's got nothing but crap.

00:23:14.140 That's the thing about it.

00:23:15.040 It's like I think like the Republican Party at the end of the day, it's just they don't have that.

00:23:20.980 I mean, overall, that innate nastiness.

00:23:24.160 There's just like, why would you attack this woman?

00:23:26.520 She's a woman.

00:23:28.400 She's Hispanic.

00:23:30.400 Is she not fit into that umbrella at all?

00:23:32.620 It's like, it's like to me, it's that same attack on like Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

00:23:37.580 And it's like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, he came out of Somalia.

00:23:41.940 Genital mutilation was at a young age forced to be in these forced women.

00:23:46.900 Everything you, you love America for.

00:23:50.420 She, she escaped, you know.

00:23:53.180 Taught herself.

00:23:55.140 Was it Swedish?

00:23:57.180 Then became a member of Parliament.

00:23:59.280 Parliament and hired.

00:24:00.900 She did this.

00:24:01.660 And then like had her best friend murdered.

00:24:04.780 And I was, I was there around that same time in Holland, making, making a movie, which was a very silly movie.

00:24:11.060 Deuce Bigelow 2.

00:24:12.040 But it has nothing to do with this.

00:24:13.260 But she had her friend, Tao Van Gogh, a great director, murdered in the street.

00:24:19.840 And his kids found out in school that he was murdered.

00:24:23.220 And that was their 9-11, believe it or not.

00:24:24.880 And she had to get out of there.

00:24:27.840 And then, so, and then she is attacked as Islamophobe.

00:24:32.500 It's like, hey, she's got reasons.

00:24:34.860 This guy's got reasons to not like Islam.

00:24:37.440 You know, she's got that.

00:24:38.480 And so you have like, and I'll never forget it.

00:24:40.580 Like these white women getting up and walking out of her speech.

00:24:44.160 It's like, hey, this is craziness.

00:24:47.340 This is now no longer about ideas.

00:24:50.060 This is, this is a, this is a religion.

00:24:52.760 And they're where they're like, well, they just won't, won't open to anything.

00:24:56.360 And an openness, faith is an openness to the truth.

00:24:59.200 Right.

00:24:59.440 And they're faithless.

00:25:00.820 And they really are.

00:25:02.080 And that's, that's, that's a real problem that we have to, we can't not, you know, and I'm

00:25:06.220 problem with my problem with the, you know, the Republicans is you got to head, you got

00:25:09.680 to face this head on.

00:25:11.160 Otherwise, you're not going to win.

00:25:12.880 Otherwise, you're, you're going to continue to have this degradation of Western culture

00:25:17.300 and American culture specifically.

00:25:20.580 And the degradation of freedom.

00:25:21.900 You have to be able to name your enemy.

00:25:23.520 And we're not doing that.

00:25:24.920 And our enemy is Marxism and woke-ism and all of these.

00:25:30.100 You have to just, you just get under that woke-ism and you go, ah, it's fun.

00:25:33.240 It's communism.

00:25:34.200 What do we think?

00:25:34.600 Look at that.

00:25:35.120 It's right there.

00:25:35.800 It's right there.

00:25:36.200 Look at that.

00:25:36.780 I just grabbed the surface.

00:25:38.600 And, and then, and then, wait, I got to go back.

00:25:43.580 2013, you're a Democrat.

00:25:45.300 Okay.

00:25:45.580 2012.

00:25:46.900 Were you the kind of Democrat?

00:25:48.300 Like, cause when I was on Fox, I wouldn't have guessed you would have been a fan.

00:25:54.700 So were you?

00:25:55.600 I was, I was, but I was also cagey because you would also say things like, you know,

00:25:59.420 things that made sense.

00:26:00.520 So as a liberal, I would go like, Hey, this guy's in it.

00:26:03.400 Well, I agree with that.

00:26:04.620 That's, that's how you get, that's how you get liberals who are open-minded.

00:26:07.500 And that's why you get an Elon Musk.

00:26:09.360 That's why Joe Rogan, Dave Chappelle.

00:26:11.500 It's like at this certain point, the liberals got away going, well, this is lunacy.

00:26:14.900 Yes.

00:26:15.280 Otherwise you're just closing my mind.

00:26:16.460 Then you're part of the mob.

00:26:17.360 That's what happened.

00:26:18.040 I was listening to you and I go, well, that seems a bit, well, that's right.

00:26:24.060 Well, he's right again.

00:26:25.540 Would that make sense?

00:26:26.720 Did you hear that?

00:26:27.920 And people go, no, this guy, cause you get labeled.

00:26:30.420 And then when you're labeled and then you, you get like, and then it's, it's, um, I've

00:26:34.320 always said, um, I don't understand people who, you know, hate a race or anything else.

00:26:40.640 Get to know the individuals.

00:26:42.820 You'll hate them for legitimate reasons.

00:26:45.120 You know what I mean?

00:26:45.980 But when you blanket somebody and you pigeonhole people, that's that, that happens.

00:26:51.960 And all the time.

00:26:53.540 And the weird thing is, is cause it is cyclical, you know, like I, you know, if you go back

00:26:58.540 to like the moral majority in the 1980s, which is like, um, which, which also was, was interested

00:27:03.900 in censorship and they didn't, and they censored that Larry Flint thing, which was this, you

00:27:09.420 know, there was a thing in one of his very vulgar magazines where it was, uh, I think

00:27:15.440 it was, um, um, um, who was the, the moral majority's name?

00:27:20.860 I'm sorry.

00:27:21.760 Um, uh, uh, come on now.

00:27:25.060 Yeah.

00:27:25.420 Liberty university.

00:27:26.500 Yes.

00:27:27.100 Come on.

00:27:27.760 Um, my fifties, I was drinking at Nick and Sam's last night.

00:27:33.320 Uh, come on.

00:27:34.560 Uh, I know his son, moral majority help.

00:27:38.460 Help, help, camera.

00:27:40.320 Who knows?

00:27:41.700 Um, so anyway, so it was, it was basically, it was a picture of him.

00:27:45.620 Uh, what was his, uh, his mother in an outhouse having, you know, and then so, uh, intercourts,

00:27:54.020 whatever.

00:27:54.360 And so that was, uh, Jerry Farwell.

00:27:56.900 Yeah.

00:27:57.700 So, uh, he sued.

00:28:00.000 Yes.

00:28:00.440 And it went all the way to the Supreme court and the Supreme court ruled correctly that even

00:28:06.800 something obscene and with absolutely no taste still is protected by the first amendment.

00:28:13.260 And that was a, um, a correct ruling because you have to, even something absolutely tasteless,

00:28:22.660 even something horrendous, you have to, that, that freedom of speech is tantamount.

00:28:27.340 Yes.

00:28:27.800 Even something you disagree with.

00:28:29.460 Yeah.

00:28:29.640 And that is the key to it.

00:28:31.440 Even something I hate.

00:28:32.980 Only the, the only ones that need protection are the ones that people will hate.

00:28:38.240 Exactly.

00:28:38.760 I know he's trying to ban things that everybody agrees with.

00:28:41.540 You know what I mean?

00:28:42.260 So you have to, and that's the thing about free speech is the big one.

00:28:45.460 And that's the thing that like America has its problems.

00:28:48.980 It has its problems.

00:28:50.120 I don't think it has its race problems as, as my mother, who was Filipino and came over

00:28:54.720 to this country, said, she said, in 1953, when I came to this country, this was, it was,

00:28:59.420 um, we had a race problem in the, in the, but we don't have any more.

00:29:03.000 And I said, well, she would know.

00:29:05.080 She would know.

00:29:05.920 She, she, she sees it.

00:29:07.020 She was a school teacher for 30 years.

00:29:08.640 So you have, um, and now, so the most important thing, like the bellwether of freedom in the

00:29:14.760 world is our freedom of speech.

00:29:16.420 That is under attack.

00:29:17.660 And that is something we have to fight for.

00:29:19.640 I have to fight.

00:29:20.620 If I hate you, what you're saying, I can't stand it.

00:29:23.580 I will fight and I will fight for your right to say it.

00:29:26.440 Yep.

00:29:26.820 That cannot be.

00:29:28.020 And that's, what's happening.

00:29:28.800 Like, even like the Maya Flores tweeted something to me and back about 87,000 IRS agents.

00:29:34.260 We should hire 87,000 people to protect schools.

00:29:36.320 You know, and I know the States are supposed to be in charge of the schools.

00:29:39.760 But it's the sentiment.

00:29:40.960 It's a tweet.

00:29:41.520 It's out there.

00:29:42.260 It's like, why are we hiring these?

00:29:43.440 And then, you know, there's only 400 billionaires.

00:29:45.440 Unless they're going like 3000 each going after them.

00:29:47.920 They're coming after us.

00:29:49.560 Yeah.

00:29:49.880 Luckily we have good accountants.

00:29:52.120 For the most people.

00:29:53.220 I don't think they're coming after us.

00:29:54.600 I think they're coming after the average business owner.

00:29:57.460 Who just barely survived.

00:29:59.220 Who just barely survived.

00:30:00.080 Just barely.

00:30:00.560 And just trying to work and does not need to be spending.

00:30:03.180 They need to be spending time getting their business back.

00:30:05.200 They don't need to be spending time going over receipts with some new a-hole who's got a gun and very well armed, by the way.

00:30:12.340 And new ammunition that we can't get.

00:30:14.200 Have you seen the training video?

00:30:16.080 Oh, yeah.

00:30:16.720 It's theirs.

00:30:17.060 The only good thing is, they'll kill each other.

00:30:20.840 When they were coming in, I was like, whoa.

00:30:23.140 They're trying to censor that, but it's true.

00:30:26.160 You can't censor something true.

00:30:27.820 But that's the thing.

00:30:28.460 They want to.

00:30:29.660 Because what it is, it's they know it's true.

00:30:32.800 They know it's BS.

00:30:34.200 They know it's crap.

00:30:35.760 And yet, they just don't want to acknowledge it.

00:30:39.920 That this is really happening.

00:30:42.060 That's sad.

00:30:42.980 So do you think this is.

00:30:45.360 So yeah, I had to become a Republican.

00:30:47.640 I had to.

00:30:48.200 Wait, so you're a Republican?

00:30:49.600 I'm a Republican.

00:30:50.640 Yeah.

00:30:51.020 Really?

00:30:51.400 I was libertarian.

00:30:52.100 I said, no, I'm a Republican now.

00:30:53.820 Libertarian, I'm mostly for libertarian values.

00:30:55.880 But I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.

00:30:56.840 I want it like.

00:30:57.940 I want the Republican Party to, you know, face this hit.

00:31:02.520 Yeah.

00:31:03.260 We need it.

00:31:04.000 You know, that's why like DeSantis.

00:31:05.580 You know, I really am a big fan of DeSantis.

00:31:08.040 Me too.

00:31:08.340 And I've seen him.

00:31:09.080 He barely won.

00:31:11.260 And it was because of.

00:31:12.820 He really got a little bit of help from.

00:31:15.460 I'll say his name.

00:31:16.380 Maybe I shouldn't.

00:31:17.000 But Bill Heavener, who's a guy who owns Full Sail University.

00:31:20.000 Great guy.

00:31:20.580 And he, Bill, he's a good guy.

00:31:24.520 Bill gave.

00:31:24.880 I don't know.

00:31:25.420 I don't know anything about him.

00:31:26.260 Bill Heavener gave DeSantis the jet for the last two weeks of his campaign to fly and

00:31:31.500 go.

00:31:31.720 Because DeSantis doesn't come from money.

00:31:33.700 Nixon didn't come from money.

00:31:34.880 The last progressive president we had, really, Nixon.

00:31:38.760 And you wouldn't put Obama in that category?

00:31:40.980 No, I wouldn't.

00:31:42.420 Just straight Marxism?

00:31:44.160 Yeah.

00:31:44.820 I would go leftist.

00:31:45.780 But I go progressive.

00:31:46.660 I mean, like progressive, like progressive is not necessarily a negative thing.

00:31:49.940 You have to go like, I mean, Nixon put in Title IX.

00:31:52.540 He put in the Environmental Protection Agency.

00:31:53.660 Nixon also got us off the gold standard.

00:31:55.940 Yes.

00:31:56.320 That's a mistake.

00:31:57.180 But Nixon also, you know, ran on stopping the war in Vietnam.

00:32:02.020 And he's like, you know, twice.

00:32:03.460 How about that?

00:32:04.260 Right.

00:32:04.720 That's pretty darn good.

00:32:05.880 I would say that Nixon, you know, also wanted to put in universal health, you know, and

00:32:11.720 then who went against them?

00:32:14.000 Kennedy.

00:32:14.900 Edward Kennedy.

00:32:15.800 So, I mean, yeah.

00:32:17.140 So that's like, and then I, you know, you say that.

00:32:19.920 I think there are progress.

00:32:20.400 I am, I'm probably one of the leaders of the anti-progressive movement only because of the birth of the progressive movement.

00:32:33.000 Well, yeah.

00:32:33.640 Well, it's not really progressive.

00:32:35.020 It was the early 20th century.

00:32:36.200 That's Marxist communist.

00:32:37.860 It's in name only.

00:32:38.000 It's in name only.

00:32:39.080 Because it's not really progress if you can't call a woman a woman anymore.

00:32:43.580 That's not, that's, that's a misogynistic attack on women.

00:32:46.220 And so, but I do think you can, what's happening also is that they're ruining the language.

00:32:51.340 The word progressive doesn't mean progressive anymore.

00:32:53.500 It takes people like you who knows what it's, who, what they're using and what they're hiding behind.

00:32:58.640 Correct.

00:32:59.460 To use this.

00:33:01.400 And like liberal used to be, it was more of a libertarian.

00:33:07.900 It was the smallest possible government.

00:33:10.900 You do what you want to do with your life and get out of my life.

00:33:13.140 Get the government away from me and, and let me have my business and, and you know, women's rights, gay rights.

00:33:20.860 I mean, then I'm all for it.

00:33:22.560 But what happened was, and this is something that like, you know, I'm from, I'm from San Francisco.

00:33:26.960 I remember with the first elected gay official, Harvey Milk.

00:33:29.540 And it was like this, you know, that was at that time, that's progress.

00:33:34.000 But then what you happen is why my, my theory is that the gays won.

00:33:39.000 Do you have, you know, I'm all for the new gay right, gay marriage.

00:33:42.260 And I was like, oh, if you want to be just as miserable as me, go for it, get in there, join the party.

00:33:47.260 The party ends pretty quick.

00:33:49.500 And I said, but fine.

00:33:50.360 And if the gay adoption, they said, okay, these, these women want to adopt a baby.

00:33:54.620 They're gay.

00:33:55.300 They should be allowed to, it shouldn't be, shouldn't be discriminated on the basis of sexual orientation.

00:33:59.220 Jesus said, those who are not against us are with us.

00:34:01.320 And so we have to go through, and, and, and as a society, I think that worked.

00:34:07.440 And, but then what happened was, in my professional comedian's opinion, so they left the door open, Glenn, after they left to go live their lives in the freest country in the history of the world.

00:34:17.300 And enjoy this incredible freedom, this unique experience in the history of humanity, this bastion, this incredible moment of just a couple hundred years here.

00:34:27.600 And really, it's a flash.

00:34:28.960 It is.

00:34:29.560 It is a, an incredible flashpoint that is hopefully not a light that's diminishing.

00:34:34.680 They went to go leave and live their life and, and, you know, and they left the door open.

00:34:40.320 Well, they left the machine running.

00:34:41.840 The machine.

00:34:42.700 And it kept going.

00:34:43.580 Yeah.

00:34:43.720 And the crazy people got in there.

00:34:45.220 And that's where, like, you can't use, men can get pregnant, men can have babies, and then women, you can't use the word women.

00:34:50.740 Yeah, woman is like, you know.

00:34:51.940 And when you, like, when you think about that, like, I mean, everybody knows what a woman is.

00:34:57.980 And so why are we lying?

00:34:59.100 And I tell this to people, the audiences, I say, they say, everybody knows what a woman is.

00:35:03.440 A woman is someone who gets mad at you for something you did five years ago.

00:35:08.140 A woman.

00:35:08.820 And doesn't tell you.

00:35:10.340 Yeah.

00:35:11.260 Just holds that grudge.

00:35:12.920 A woman is someone who uses her tires as curb finders.

00:35:16.320 You know, you drive with your wife.

00:35:17.580 She's hunting the curb.

00:35:18.800 I know.

00:35:20.780 And, but I say it as a joke, but it's also, it's like, you know, people are astounded by the fact that, like, you know, Governor Whitmer, we refuse to use the word woman, and she used the word child bearers.

00:35:34.880 And then the New York Times called it people who menstruate.

00:35:39.320 And for some of you older ladies, people who used to menstruate.

00:35:43.100 It's like, what?

00:35:43.880 What do we?

00:35:45.220 And, and I said, what if this really catches on?

00:35:47.860 You know, the next time you go to, like, the Nordstrom's, and you're like, yeah, I'm looking for some shoes for my wife.

00:35:52.600 Am I in the right place?

00:35:53.800 I mean, is this the shoe department for the people who menstruate?

00:35:56.500 These shoes look a little big.

00:35:57.900 These shoes, like, these are for the people, you know, with outside vaginas, the sausage hangers, you know.

00:36:02.800 So what are we going to call men now?

00:36:04.000 So it's a lunacy.

00:36:07.060 It's lunacy.

00:36:08.100 And it's a culture under attack.

00:36:09.660 It's Western civilization under attack.

00:36:12.720 So do you feel, first of all, I don't know how you survive.

00:36:17.460 Is it the Adam Sandler mafia that you guys are called?

00:36:21.900 You know, I don't know if you know.

00:36:22.780 I haven't made a movie with him in years.

00:36:26.180 How did you survive?

00:36:27.880 How did I survive?

00:36:28.760 That's very interesting question.

00:36:29.720 I've read your feed.

00:36:31.660 You're not shy.

00:36:33.280 No, I mean, well, thank you.

00:36:34.480 I don't know how.

00:36:35.500 It's only because of the audiences that come to see me do stand-up.

00:36:39.500 You know, that's the only way to do it.

00:36:41.100 And also, you know, I did make a little bit of money back in the day.

00:36:44.540 I didn't buy a big studio until I go.

00:36:47.900 Thank you for that.

00:36:49.020 Yeah.

00:36:49.280 But I also, I think people now, I think there's enough people,

00:36:55.360 because Hollywood doesn't seem to want to represent people between,

00:36:59.560 there is an America between Los Angeles and New York.

00:37:03.080 And you know what?

00:37:03.760 I'm sorry.

00:37:04.240 That also counts.

00:37:05.400 It does.

00:37:05.980 The people in Missouri get to decide for themselves what they want to do.

00:37:10.320 And you can try to misrepresent a Supreme Court decision,

00:37:16.140 which basically gave the states back what should have been.

00:37:20.420 You had, like, if you want to say it's a racist decision and that, like, you know,

00:37:28.180 that Thomas is the white face of supremacy, this is lunacy.

00:37:33.560 Well, nine white guys gave the decision in 73, the Roe Wade.

00:37:40.000 And so it was a flawed decision.

00:37:42.060 If you just look at it on its face, it's been flawed.

00:37:44.480 And it was only—

00:37:46.320 But it was flawed because it didn't—it wasn't part of the Constitution.

00:37:51.720 But when you see what the New York Times had as its editorial on Sunday,

00:37:58.300 get rid of the Constitution.

00:38:00.100 They're no longer saying we're misinterpreting it.

00:38:02.680 They're saying it's wrong and should be disposed of.

00:38:06.720 These are guys who have a plumbing problem in their house,

00:38:11.460 and instead of calling a plumber, they burn the house down.

00:38:15.040 Hmm. That's what they want to do.

00:38:17.160 They won't fix the problem, or they won't address it, or they won't debate.

00:38:21.420 They won't use the art of dissuading.

00:38:24.600 They will use the art of demonizing and destruction.

00:38:26.960 That's why they know that they're wrong.

00:38:29.200 When you use term—

00:38:30.380 You think they do know?

00:38:31.580 Yes. Otherwise, why would they change the terminology?

00:38:34.260 Why would you use a euphism to describe abortion as, like—

00:38:37.880 If you're going to call it terminating a pregnancy, then do it.

00:38:40.480 If you're going to say, you know, what the Democrats have said for so long,

00:38:44.040 which is, like, rare, safe, infrequent—rare?

00:38:49.000 It's a safe, legal, legal—

00:38:51.080 Rare, safe, and legal.

00:38:52.500 Yeah, and rare is the last one.

00:38:54.360 And now they don't even want to call it terminating a pregnancy.

00:38:58.360 They just call it good health care.

00:39:01.580 And it's like, you know what?

00:39:02.460 If you're using a euphemism, you must know there's something wrong there.

00:39:05.020 And that's the way I really feel about it.

00:39:07.160 So I did feel like—I think you're dealing with—

00:39:11.720 There's a base, and you have to call it what it is, lies.

00:39:15.880 There's a base of lies and this liberal intelligentsia and the liberal rhetoric

00:39:21.320 that, you know, it is trying to—

00:39:26.380 And I don't think it's all, you know—

00:39:29.020 I don't think, like, every liberal has a heart that's bad.

00:39:34.060 I can't think of that.

00:39:35.760 I think they're just whipped up into this froth of BS liberal intelligentsia

00:39:40.600 and this ideology that warps people.

00:39:43.000 Yeah, I think we have—we've entered a time to where we have our backs up so much

00:39:48.120 that we cannot break away from our sides.

00:39:51.660 That is wildly dangerous.

00:39:53.640 It is.

00:39:53.860 Wildly dangerous.

00:39:54.460 You used to have people who would go across the aisle.

00:39:57.560 But now you have a fear of, if you even attempt to, that there's this—you're going to get this flack.

00:40:07.840 And so—

00:40:08.620 Because it's no longer about the individual.

00:40:10.880 It's about the machine.

00:40:12.880 It really is about the machine.

00:40:15.220 You know, you could vote for a Republican,

00:40:17.420 but is the machine going to chew him up and spit him out?

00:40:21.560 Well, it's true because what you have—

00:40:24.080 Interestingly, I think what you're—the way I'm interpreting what you're saying is

00:40:28.240 you have parts of government that are captured.

00:40:31.180 Yes.

00:40:31.600 I don't say that lightly, and I didn't want to say that.

00:40:34.040 But we have agencies like the CDC, and now, unfortunately, the FBI.

00:40:41.120 And, by the way, for people who think—

00:40:42.260 It's crazy.

00:40:42.840 Well, people who think, like, the FBI is like, you know—

00:40:44.800 I don't say that lightly.

00:40:46.480 And I don't—I think the FBI has, you know, historically behaved badly.

00:40:51.860 I mean, if you thought—if you just—I just read the letter the other day just to remind myself

00:40:55.280 because I was trying to go, what is similar to what's happening in the FBI?

00:40:58.220 And there was a letter that they sent to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

00:41:02.260 to get him to kill himself.

00:41:05.260 And that's the FBI.

00:41:08.820 I don't think I've read that letter.

00:41:10.640 Yeah.

00:41:11.040 Well, it's a real letter, and now it's unredacted, and you can read it.

00:41:13.940 And it's just, you know—I mean, I remember talking to Warren Hutcherson.

00:41:19.000 He's a terrific writer, and he was on Saturday Night Live at the same time with me.

00:41:26.000 And he told me—and I had to look it up.

00:41:28.440 He said, like, at the last meetings of the Black Panthers, there was 11 members,

00:41:36.360 and, like, nine of them were FBI agents.

00:41:38.920 Sounds familiar.

00:41:40.140 Sounds very familiar.

00:41:40.920 If you look at, like, the—if you really read in the Governor Whitmer and the kidnapping thing,

00:41:46.300 it's just, you know, are we spending our tax dollars to, like, take these people who are marginalized already,

00:41:53.020 who are depressed and looking for work and this and thing, and not living the American dream,

00:42:00.360 but still Americans who love their country, and we're trying to get them to commit a crime so we can ensnare them.

00:42:07.180 Is that what our law enforcement at the highest level of our government should be doing?

00:42:12.420 It's truly frightening.

00:42:13.920 I mean, I've—I've never been one who's just been all rah-rah America.

00:42:19.720 I know that we've made huge mistakes.

00:42:23.220 I know I've been on the wrong side of things.

00:42:25.680 I was for, you know, the war in Iraq.

00:42:28.120 What a stupid idea that was.

00:42:29.880 Yeah, I did get caught up into that myself.

00:42:31.960 Yeah, and you just—so we change, but I've never—and maybe I was stupid for it,

00:42:39.780 but I never thought that the system entirely is corrupt, and now I feel like, you know,

00:42:48.160 if it—have you turned it off and turned it back on again?

00:42:52.540 You know what I mean?

00:42:53.400 We need to reset to factory settings because it just seems so corrupted.

00:42:57.480 Well, you have the definition of fascism.

00:43:02.480 Yes.

00:43:03.040 You have it.

00:43:03.620 You go like, well, what's fascism again?

00:43:05.860 You go, let me look it up.

00:43:07.260 Okay, it's where corporate interests and the government get together, and they go, what the—

00:43:13.380 So when the Biden administration is telling Facebook what they could just say—

00:43:18.660 Right, right.

00:43:19.400 Isn't that—

00:43:20.400 Yeah.

00:43:20.680 Isn't this against—this is the technical definition of what—of not—of our constitutional

00:43:28.140 First Amendment.

00:43:29.020 There's a reason why the first one is free speech, protecting speech, and why the government

00:43:33.620 should not be involved in it, because all our other ones—

00:43:36.980 Stem from that.

00:43:37.660 Stem from that.

00:43:38.200 They all rely on it.

00:43:39.280 Yeah.

00:43:39.780 And so you have this—I called it a creep earlier, and I really think it is a wave.

00:43:47.640 It is like a blob that is just going and going.

00:43:50.000 You have the CDC, which is obviously—and I've known about this for years, and that

00:43:53.040 was one of the reasons that I had to get out of that Democratic Party stranglehold, because

00:44:01.540 I saw that it was no longer protecting the rights of the individual, that parental rights.

00:44:06.980 They had no problem squashing it.

00:44:08.840 I was there in California, and this was about the vaccines, which was the original kicking

00:44:14.680 out of show business before I became Republican.

00:44:17.180 It was like, wait a minute, you know, let's—can we look in it?

00:44:19.760 Like, we have 54—according to the Health and Human Services, and I'm a stat nerd, as

00:44:24.420 you can probably tell—54, according to our own government statistics, 54% of our children,

00:44:30.440 United States children—and this is an older statistic now—54% have, suffer chronic illness.

00:44:37.720 54%—54%—that that is not the biggest news story.

00:44:43.460 And I'm talking about ADHD, I'm talking about chronic illness, I'm talking about allergies,

00:44:46.860 peanut allergies, I'm talking about, you know, autism.

00:44:51.220 These are—these are over half our children.

00:44:54.040 That that is not the biggest story.

00:44:56.600 Every day on the news is willful ignorance on behalf of our—of what is still called journalism,

00:45:04.520 which it isn't journalism, and it is a sign of our captured regulatory agencies.

00:45:12.480 It is unbelievable.

00:45:13.300 And so when I started to dig into it and see it, you know, and see how, you know, how

00:45:20.120 it's pure profit for—so when this pandemic came up, I was, okay, this is just another

00:45:27.440 pure profit for them.

00:45:29.100 And it's like, hey, how about this?

00:45:30.260 It really is.

00:45:30.680 I'm going to make a product.

00:45:32.080 I'm not going to pay for it.

00:45:33.440 The taxpayers are going to pay for it.

00:45:34.760 We're going to make billions of dollars, and they have to take it.

00:45:38.880 And they get fired, and the best part is they can't sue us because we have complete liability

00:45:43.460 protection.

00:45:44.160 Can I get in that business?

00:45:45.360 Can I please—I want my money in there.

00:45:48.000 I mean, it's like it's—we have to question this lunacy.

00:45:51.440 We have to.

00:45:52.360 And then finally the CDC admits this last week.

00:45:55.360 Thank you that it's all BS, and it's like 17% protection, which is like, ah, I don't

00:45:59.640 believe that either.

00:46:00.520 Even four boosters.

00:46:01.840 I tell my audience—I said last night here I was performing this thing.

00:46:04.780 I said I was in Mexico and I got COVID because I was surrounded by everybody who was vaccinated.

00:46:07.840 So, of course, that's how you get COVID.

00:46:09.500 Right.

00:46:11.380 So, you have to—I mean, at the end of the day, and it's pretty simple, it's like there's

00:46:17.680 no drug, no drug ever made that's 100% safe 100% of the time for 100% of the people.

00:46:22.940 Where there is risk, there has to be choice, or you don't have freedom, you have tyranny.

00:46:28.920 It's pretty basic.

00:46:30.820 If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer every day from pain, please listen

00:46:35.080 up.

00:46:35.320 There is hope, and it comes in the form of relief factor.

00:46:39.320 You know, I just went to the doctor, and they're like, you've got some inflation in

00:46:43.520 you, or some inflammation.

00:46:46.600 Inflation.

00:46:47.240 You can see what's on my mind.

00:46:49.280 And I said, really?

00:46:52.040 And they said, you know, that's what causes cancer.

00:46:56.760 I'm like, I don't know if you're a real doctor or not.

00:46:59.220 But relief factor keeps the inflammation down.

00:47:04.420 It causes—most of our pain is caused from inflammation, and also a lot of our illnesses

00:47:11.780 are caused by inflammation.

00:47:13.780 So, please, just take a three-week quick start trial pack.

00:47:17.420 See if it works for you.

00:47:18.900 Go to relieffactor.com.

00:47:20.840 70% of the people who try it go on to order more, because it works.

00:47:24.400 It's relieffactor.com.

00:47:27.320 I wrote down a list this morning for a monologue I'm working on about how I fear a return to

00:47:34.780 the dark ages, because this is a religion.

00:47:39.860 Oh, yeah.

00:47:40.080 There is an inquisition, if you know what I mean.

00:47:43.180 Yes.

00:47:43.860 And things have been so discredited.

00:47:48.600 Science is discrediting itself every day.

00:47:51.780 What they're doing to girls at school age with this transgenderism is so dangerous.

00:48:00.280 Well, you know, you have to just—you have to call it out, and we have to not be afraid.

00:48:05.660 We have to say there's a 4,000% increase.

00:48:08.500 This is an English statistic, because they're, in some ways, they're more—

00:48:11.980 They are.

00:48:12.660 They're freer with their statistics than they are.

00:48:14.500 Not their society, but with their—they're still—you can get arrested for a meme over

00:48:18.260 there if you're a comedian.

00:48:19.600 True.

00:48:20.480 You know, if it's somebody who was, you know, hurt by it.

00:48:23.600 And so, a 4,000% increase in trans, this is a social contagion.

00:48:28.180 It is.

00:48:28.740 We have to call it what it is, and we're going to have to, like—look, kids are confused.

00:48:34.680 There's a reason why 14-year-olds aren't allowed to drive or own a gun or, you know,

00:48:40.540 start working in the workforce, because they can't make these—they're not capable.

00:48:44.620 Their brains haven't fully formed.

00:48:46.460 They haven't formed until 25.

00:48:47.900 Yeah.

00:48:48.060 Maybe even—maybe think even longer now.

00:48:49.780 Yeah.

00:48:50.720 How can we let them decide to mutilate their bodies?

00:48:53.800 And who are these evil people that are committing this?

00:48:57.440 This is a crime against humanity.

00:48:59.000 It is.

00:48:59.420 And it is an outgrowth on this ideology that is just spreading out and spreading out and

00:49:06.240 spreading out.

00:49:06.800 And who knows what the next level is going to be.

00:49:08.680 We have to say—

00:49:09.300 Well, Canada just—Canada just came out with euthanasia for teenagers.

00:49:16.380 They already had euthanasia, but if you have a chronic illness, chronic depression, you

00:49:23.660 can now be euthanized.

00:49:26.200 That is—I didn't hear about that.

00:49:27.860 I heard that—

00:49:28.060 It just came out.

00:49:28.600 Well, I heard that they did that for their veterans, who they don't—I guess they don't

00:49:34.280 want to pay for them anymore or something.

00:49:36.000 This is getting expensive.

00:49:37.420 Just tell them we'll put them out.

00:49:39.440 We'll put them out.

00:49:40.920 Well, I think you have to get back to—and I do think we're—if we go back to a darker

00:49:46.320 period—

00:49:48.000 Well, hang on.

00:49:49.100 Think of this.

00:49:50.160 Science, completely discredited.

00:49:51.820 Oh, yeah.

00:49:52.560 Government, anything, being completely discredited.

00:49:56.640 Law enforcement, discredited.

00:49:58.960 Yeah.

00:50:00.060 Education discredited.

00:50:01.940 What happens?

00:50:02.620 You're talking about the foundational collapse.

00:50:05.200 You get to a place to where the people say, I don't want to hear any of that crap from

00:50:10.160 you.

00:50:10.660 I will tell you what this is.

00:50:12.320 It is, again, the creep.

00:50:15.420 And the thing about rights, and I remember just as a—I call myself a mild historian because

00:50:22.320 I'm interested in it.

00:50:23.240 I want to know how—so in 1984, I went to Berlin, which was West Berlin at the time, and I went

00:50:28.800 to the Reichstag building, and Schneider is my name, and I was interested.

00:50:35.520 I said, how did this happen?

00:50:37.140 Can I just go there and read?

00:50:38.680 So I just spent—I spent two days there at the Reichstag building, and I said, let me

00:50:43.520 just read, how did they—how did the German people, the most educated, the more PhDs

00:50:47.980 in the 20th century was in Nazi Germany than anywhere else?

00:50:52.360 When I tell that to people, they get angry because they're like, I have a PhD.

00:50:54.860 What are you talking about?

00:50:55.320 No, your degree doesn't mean you are prevented from committing evil, atrocities.

00:51:03.100 Sometimes, over-education is you become an idiot on common sense.

00:51:08.880 No, you become indoctrinated into a system, you know?

00:51:11.640 That's why, like, you know, people that they hire at the New York Times, they're indoctrinated.

00:51:16.180 They go, I'm not indoctrinated because you don't even realize you're indoctrinated because

00:51:18.960 they would have never hired you unless you were and went to that educational system, Ivy

00:51:22.880 League School of Indoctrination, so now you're there.

00:51:24.960 You don't even realize it.

00:51:26.240 So I read the laws that were enacted after the National Socialists took over in 1933,

00:51:34.320 1934, and they just—they didn't take them all over in one night.

00:51:37.980 Yeah.

00:51:38.260 They took one at a time, and this one, and this one.

00:51:40.580 We're going to marginalize these people, and we're going to—we'll kill these people.

00:51:44.980 And it was like there was a euthanasia thing that they did with mentally handicapped, and

00:51:49.060 people got angry about that.

00:51:50.220 Interestingly, according to Hitler's Willing Executioner's book by Daniel, I'm picking

00:51:55.380 his last name, he said the reason why they put the death camps in Poland was because the

00:52:01.920 Nazis wanted to put the Jews and exterminate them in a place where they hated Jews even

00:52:07.340 more than in Germany, Poland.

00:52:09.240 So—and it took hundreds of thousands of people to make that work and to just kind of go along

00:52:15.620 with the system.

00:52:16.800 And there's a really interesting book called, you know, The Sociopath Next Door, and it talks

00:52:21.940 about—it's really interesting from a psychological—from a psychiatrist's point of view and the historical

00:52:26.580 background.

00:52:27.040 And it's about 60% of people that just go with everything.

00:52:30.340 Yeah.

00:52:30.480 4% sociopathic, according to the book.

00:52:34.280 And so you have the makings here in our country—

00:52:40.540 Oh, yeah.

00:52:40.900 —of another genocide.

00:52:42.380 Everything's there except for the mass murder, because all of the censorship and all the other

00:52:45.820 stuff is under attack.

00:52:47.240 What I'm hoping for, because I believe in this country, and I love this country, and I feel

00:52:50.880 like, I have to speak up, because at a certain point, Glenn, you have to put country, God,

00:52:59.020 and family above career and above the almighty dollar.

00:53:03.700 Yeah.

00:53:04.480 And I have done that, and you have done that.

00:53:07.500 And—

00:53:08.020 Are you willing to lose it all for what you believe?

00:53:11.840 Absolutely.

00:53:12.540 Yeah.

00:53:12.860 Because if we don't have it, then we have nothing.

00:53:15.020 Mm-hmm.

00:53:15.500 I want to—I'm not—I don't care about my career anymore.

00:53:17.960 Mm-hmm.

00:53:18.180 I care about my children's—

00:53:19.780 Me too.

00:53:20.080 The country that they're going to live in.

00:53:21.780 And my hope is this.

00:53:23.260 My hope is a beautiful story from a—from a—from a chaplain in England.

00:53:31.240 When the American Flyers came over in the early days of World War II, when the American

00:53:36.320 Flyers came over after—this is like the dog days, 1942, late 42, when, like, their friends

00:53:43.220 were getting blown out of the sky.

00:53:45.680 They would go over on the bombers, and half would come back, two-thirds would come back,

00:53:50.080 you know, but they were dying.

00:53:51.520 And there was one particularly awful week, two weeks, where there was a very high percentage

00:53:59.440 of these pilots were getting blown out of the sky and getting killed.

00:54:02.640 And they went to the prison—they went to the—to the Air Force chaplain, and they—the pilot

00:54:13.340 said, why—they said, our friends are dying.

00:54:18.360 Why should we do this?

00:54:19.660 Why should we get up tomorrow and fly?

00:54:21.720 They did this at, like, literally 4.45.

00:54:24.020 They're supposed to leave at 5.30.

00:54:25.580 Why should we do this?

00:54:26.560 Tell us why.

00:54:27.860 They didn't say they weren't going to do it.

00:54:29.020 So tell us why we should do this.

00:54:30.700 Our friends are dying.

00:54:31.580 Tell us.

00:54:32.920 And the chaplain was really, you know, woke up and said, well, humanity has come out of

00:54:39.200 it—has come out of the dark ages.

00:54:42.780 We've come out of where people get burned at the stake.

00:54:48.380 People believe and go along with this.

00:54:51.340 And there's a darkness that we have come out of into a more of an enlightened period, a

00:54:55.560 more freer period.

00:54:56.920 And he said, this is a step back into those darkness.

00:55:00.780 These are the darkest parts of humanity.

00:55:04.440 And we need to stand up for that now.

00:55:09.420 And that requires this.

00:55:11.580 So they all flew.

00:55:12.320 We are, uh, there again.

00:55:19.740 Yeah, and it requires a new set of flyers.

00:55:23.500 Why did that affect you so much?

00:55:30.740 Well, I do feel the sacrifice that's required.

00:55:39.480 You know, like, we have to make it.

00:55:43.500 And we got to do it.

00:55:46.860 Because we were lucky, man.

00:55:48.700 We grew up in that boom time of American—like, 1947, Jackie Robinson.

00:55:55.580 You know, I consider that, like, you know, that—when the inclusive part of America.

00:56:01.100 And then, 54, you know, you know, Brown versus Board of Education.

00:56:05.760 And then you have, like, my dad, 1954, he just—after Brown versus Education, he said,

00:56:11.880 I'm going to—and my dad was in real estate, son—I'm going to rent to black people.

00:56:17.300 And he said, this is wrong.

00:56:19.260 This is—this is not moral.

00:56:21.140 And I grew up with that guy, you know.

00:56:22.900 And I grew up with, like, you know, my mother, who was an educator.

00:56:26.220 And, um, you know, and also half her family were killed during the Japanese occupation.

00:56:31.200 So I grew up with that.

00:56:32.420 And so I was very aware of, like—

00:56:34.260 Yeah.

00:56:34.720 And so, uh, that—that morally shaped me.

00:56:39.840 Um, and so, I—I—it does make me think, like, we were so lucky in the 70s.

00:56:45.440 Come on.

00:56:45.760 I know.

00:56:46.320 How great was that?

00:56:47.080 I know.

00:56:47.600 We got to be free.

00:56:48.480 I've thought of this—I've thought about this a lot.

00:56:50.500 We're the same age.

00:56:51.480 And, uh, I think about it a lot, that my kids won't have the opportunity to see America

00:57:02.420 at the height and at the—at our best, even though we had all kinds of problems.

00:57:09.320 Yeah.

00:57:09.500 But we still had freedom in a different way than they'll ever understand.

00:57:14.360 And, you know, when I left New York, I didn't realize it until later.

00:57:21.760 I think, you know, I was at the top, and you were close to—at the very top, at the close

00:57:28.980 to the end of that era of New York.

00:57:31.520 Yeah.

00:57:31.820 You know what I mean?

00:57:32.500 Oh, yeah.

00:57:33.020 And now that—

00:57:33.940 Dude, I was on the billboards in Times Square.

00:57:36.420 I know.

00:57:36.440 Crazy, right?

00:57:37.440 Yeah.

00:57:37.740 And that era is over, and people won't experience the things that we kind of took for granted

00:57:45.660 in some ways.

00:57:46.680 You know, there is a—I'm hopeful that freedom—because we've had—you know, America has survived,

00:57:53.380 and, you know, like, for people who think this is a civil war, it's not.

00:57:57.960 No, it's not.

00:57:58.720 It's not a civil war.

00:57:59.840 I mean, if you talk about the brutality and the 600,000 people that died in the civil war

00:58:06.580 and the higher—the high percentage of that, of the population at that time, and in horrible

00:58:13.180 ways.

00:58:14.760 I just picked up—I was just in Gettysburg, and over the weekend, and I bought for our

00:58:20.740 history vault three diaries of a guy who was just a regular guy, infantryman on the north,

00:58:28.640 and he just documented his day-to-day.

00:58:31.260 And one of his entries is about coming up to a fence where the Confederates had beheaded

00:58:40.080 Union soldiers, stuck their heads on the pikes, and then cut off their genitals and put it

00:58:46.080 in their mouth.

00:58:47.360 And I thought, that's an American doing that to another American.

00:58:55.120 And that only happens when you're trained to hate the other side.

00:59:00.660 That is what happens.

00:59:03.900 And the road—I mean, I hate to say this, but, like, we're heading towards that road.

00:59:09.560 I think we're on that road.

00:59:10.940 We can still turn around.

00:59:12.600 When we are—when you stop communicating, when you stop using dissuasion, when you stop using

00:59:20.560 debate to find the better ideas, the road that you're going down is brutality and no longer

00:59:29.380 civilization, because that's not civilized anymore.

00:59:32.940 There is no—you know, you can—that's why I say, and it's true, I don't hate my enemies.

00:59:40.680 I don't have enemies.

00:59:42.020 I have people I disagree with.

00:59:43.600 Yes.

00:59:43.940 And I have—these are Americans, and I am not going to go down that road of yelling,

00:59:49.300 of demonizing.

00:59:50.940 I mean, I found myself the other day, like, the guy from Pfizer, and I went, like, he

00:59:56.780 just got COVID.

00:59:57.960 And then he admitted it doesn't really work.

01:00:00.000 And I'm like—and I said, you effing A?

01:00:02.680 I said, what am I doing?

01:00:03.900 Yeah.

01:00:04.360 But, like—

01:00:05.000 It's hard.

01:00:05.860 It's hard not to—and it's like, that's the thing about this.

01:00:08.060 You tweet, you know, it's out, it's out, can I take it back?

01:00:11.200 No, it's forever.

01:00:11.940 But I have faith.

01:00:14.560 I have faith, and I have faith in God, and I take this, and I've—my faith in God has

01:00:20.540 increased dramatically once you have children, and once you—you get older and wiser, and

01:00:27.200 you realize the wisdom of God and everything, and it's—I take solace in what Father Ripperger

01:00:32.100 told me, and he was very lovely to give me an audience with him, a terrific Catholic

01:00:36.140 priest, and Catholicism is the—you know, you know, I did the born-again Christian thing.

01:00:41.420 My dad was a Jew.

01:00:42.480 My mom was a Catholic.

01:00:43.440 They gave up their religions for each other, like the old Bill Maher joke, you know, when

01:00:46.920 I go to confession, I bring my attorney.

01:00:49.180 Father, this is Mr. Cohen.

01:00:50.340 He'll be answering all the questions.

01:00:51.380 But the Catholicism is the closest to the actual word of Jesus, and the fact that it was, you

01:00:58.840 know, it went from the Aramaic to the Greek to the Latin, and Father Ripperger said to

01:01:04.700 me, because he was talking about the rise in evil in the world right now, and it is.

01:01:09.140 You have to think, like, the Nazi Germany, whatever demons or whatever release of the—something's

01:01:14.720 going on like that time.

01:01:16.000 And I think—but he said a beautiful thing, and I want your listeners to know that.

01:01:19.140 I want you to know that also.

01:01:20.660 He said a beautiful thing.

01:01:21.720 He said, look, Jesus already won.

01:01:23.840 This is just a mop-up mission.

01:01:25.680 So have faith.

01:01:26.540 And faith, and I—to my liberal friends, and, you know, the few that I still have, faith

01:01:35.020 is just an openness.

01:01:36.000 It's the difference between belief.

01:01:37.600 Belief is that fundamentalism.

01:01:39.760 Belief, come from the word Anglo, belief, is a willfulness to—it's like, I want the world

01:01:46.040 to be this way, and this is the right way.

01:01:48.320 It's just—no, it's got to fit into that.

01:01:51.400 And that is the opposite.

01:01:52.680 It precludes the possibility of faith.

01:01:54.400 Faith is simply an openness to the truth.

01:01:59.060 And I would just ask my liberal friends to be open to the truth and to know that, like,

01:02:04.000 what—to take a small child, a young girl, and a young boy, and think that there's anything—that

01:02:11.620 they were given the wrong body.

01:02:14.300 I said, Jesus, say that.

01:02:17.080 Say that to Jesus.

01:02:19.420 Say that to God.

01:02:21.420 God, you made a wrong body.

01:02:23.060 I don't think he's going to answer, yeah, I did.

01:02:27.040 He's going to know I made it—they're all perfect in their own way.

01:02:30.300 I think we have to come from a place of love.

01:02:32.560 We have to come from a place of God.

01:02:34.280 And it's like, that's the only way we can heal.

01:02:37.380 And that's what—I mean, at my best, I'm going to try to do that.

01:02:40.300 At my worst, I'm going to get wrapped up and angry, you know, because I'm a human being

01:02:43.740 too.

01:02:44.220 And I'm passionate about it, as you can tell.

01:02:47.200 But I want to send a message of love and God and faith and family.

01:02:51.480 Have you read Martin Luther King's 10 commitments to be a part of his nonviolent movement?

01:03:06.100 No.

01:03:06.800 He made people sign.

01:03:08.500 If you wanted to march with him, you had to follow a certain pattern of life.

01:03:14.280 It wasn't just like, I'm going to show up and I'll be there at 8 o'clock and I'll check

01:03:17.920 and I'll be there at 9 o'clock and I'll be there at 9 o'clock and I'll be there at 9 o'clock.

01:03:19.920 And the first one was meditate on the teachings of Jesus.

01:03:23.840 And all of it was pray for reconciliation and not a win.

01:03:34.760 It was—he was—he had the right answer.

01:03:38.500 He had the right answer.

01:03:39.820 And I'm afraid that there are so many people—in a country of 350 million, you know, there's

01:03:47.420 lots of opinions out there and some of them are crazy.

01:03:51.240 And some of those opinions are running to, we got to stop them.

01:03:56.400 Yeah.

01:03:56.840 And that is not—that'll only make things much worse.

01:04:00.680 It will lead to bloodshed.

01:04:01.920 We have to love our enemy.

01:04:05.220 We have to.

01:04:05.860 And we have to realize that we have more in common than we have different.

01:04:08.820 But there's less money in that for tech companies, for artificial intelligence and tech companies.

01:04:14.600 They want to rile you up and see, like, these 3% of these people are really radical.

01:04:20.200 But what about the 97% that probably aren't, you know?

01:04:23.080 And, like, this is the liberal sample.

01:04:24.500 It's 40%, you know, Bill Maher.

01:04:26.840 40% of the Republican Party.

01:04:29.280 I'm sorry.

01:04:30.080 Where is that statistic?

01:04:31.060 Let's break it down.

01:04:31.980 I remember statistics.

01:04:32.980 In statistics, you can find any statistic that you want and support it if you eliminate

01:04:36.960 these other statistics.

01:04:38.560 But giving back to Dr. King, I mean, one of the things as I travel around this country

01:04:42.020 and try to perform and, you know, not indoctrinate people like some comedy shows seem to be doing

01:04:48.160 these days.

01:04:49.700 Not Saturday Night Live.

01:04:52.160 I mean, I hate to crap on my old show.

01:04:54.180 I hate to crap on my old show.

01:04:55.280 But when I saw when Hillary Clinton lost, which is understandable that she would lose.

01:05:03.060 Yes.

01:05:03.240 Not exactly the most logical person in the room.

01:05:05.060 Right.

01:05:05.520 And then when Kate McKinnon went out there on Saturday Night Live from the cold opening,

01:05:10.020 you know, like, she started dressed as Hillary Clinton and she starts playing Hallelujah.

01:05:13.740 And I said, I literally prayed to, please have a joke at the end.

01:05:17.920 Don't do this.

01:05:18.760 Please don't go down there.

01:05:20.040 And there was no joke at the end.

01:05:21.720 And I went, it's over.

01:05:23.440 It's over.

01:05:24.340 It's not going to come back.

01:05:26.140 It really is the end of...

01:05:28.260 It's gone.

01:05:28.960 You can take the comedy routines, the comedy routines.

01:05:34.920 You can take the comedic indoctrination process happening with each of the late night hosts

01:05:39.120 and you can exchange them with each other.

01:05:41.140 That's how you know it's not interesting anymore.

01:05:43.100 Because there's no, there's no, it's not an independent voice anymore.

01:05:46.580 It's just all indoctrination by comedic imposition.

01:05:49.000 Yeah.

01:05:50.040 I just read another story today about how bad these pre-born clinics are.

01:05:57.440 These clinics that are trying to save babies.

01:06:00.420 It's so horrible.

01:06:02.800 The whole world is upside down.

01:06:04.500 Roe versus Wade was responsible for 63 million babies dying.

01:06:09.980 The decision to abort a child now is left in the hands of states and abortion will continue.

01:06:16.160 And I think it crazy levels in some states like New York and California.

01:06:22.400 Well, there is a ministry that has been working to end abortion.

01:06:30.060 And it is the pre-born centers.

01:06:32.820 And they have put clinics in the top abortion cities.

01:06:36.300 50% of abortions take place in these cities.

01:06:38.620 And their work of saving babies' lives continue at even a greater level as they fight Planned Parenthood.

01:06:46.180 And now they also have to defend their customers.

01:06:51.420 They have to defend and protect their staff and their building from radical hate groups.

01:06:57.560 These guys are under attack.

01:07:01.420 Luckily, they have real spiritual guardians around them.

01:07:06.120 Pre-born is asking you if you could help.

01:07:10.020 If you could help.

01:07:10.900 They need it more than ever.

01:07:12.060 If you would consider a gift of any size, $10, $50, $100,000, I don't know how much money you have.

01:07:19.000 But all gifts are tax deductible.

01:07:21.540 And I don't think there's a better cause than saving the lives of babies and keeping people safe that are doing that sacred work.

01:07:30.380 Donate at dial, I'm sorry, dial pound 250.

01:07:34.000 You can donate.

01:07:35.200 Say the keyword baby.

01:07:36.860 Remember, pound 250, keyword baby.

01:07:40.860 Or go to preborn.com slash Glenn.

01:07:43.280 Preborn.com slash Glenn.

01:07:46.060 Correct me if I'm wrong, but you used to work in Saturday Night Live when a conservative and a liberal could work side by side and you'd hit both sides.

01:07:59.340 Yeah.

01:07:59.720 Well, that was the whole point.

01:08:00.860 We always lean more left because we were more liberal because that's where all the girls were.

01:08:04.040 Right.

01:08:04.340 Let's be honest.

01:08:05.000 Right.

01:08:05.300 That's what that was the whole thing I got in the show business.

01:08:07.120 I realized that, hey, look, I'm five foot five, barely.

01:08:11.140 I'm Filipino.

01:08:12.180 I look kind of weird and whatever.

01:08:13.760 And I said, I could have to do something to get these beautiful girls because this ain't working.

01:08:18.020 And so you get wrapped up into this.

01:08:20.240 And I guess I am a liberal.

01:08:21.800 But we lean that way.

01:08:23.380 But we also called it when it was necessary to be called.

01:08:26.140 I thought there was no way that you would have hit Barack Obama and Joe Biden as hard as at least Joe Biden, because there was tons of things about Joe Biden.

01:08:41.460 They stayed away from it.

01:08:43.540 And truthfully, they just like, you know, and Lorne Michaels will say this.

01:08:47.460 And, you know, he'll say the liberals, they're just, they're more sensitive.

01:08:51.880 They can't take the jokes.

01:08:53.260 The Democrats.

01:08:54.240 And it's true.

01:08:55.360 But, like, I will say they were still doing great stuff.

01:08:58.360 The real genius of Saturday Night Live is Jim Downey, the head writer.

01:09:01.020 And he wrote this.

01:09:01.600 And he's also a conservative.

01:09:03.760 He wrote a great bit.

01:09:04.980 Like the great, the last great political bit was during when Obama and Hillary in the primaries and in the press and how the press were deferential to Obama.

01:09:15.600 And he wrote this really funny thing.

01:09:16.780 He said, Hillary, so according to, you know, Syria and, you know, what's happening in Libya.

01:09:22.840 And do you think that going against Assad and then also supporting, and Hamas is, Hamas is what the creep of Hamas coming in in Lebanon.

01:09:33.180 And do you think that the process would be, and it's very complicated.

01:09:36.460 And they said, so, Senator Obama, who's your favorite basketball team?

01:09:43.020 And I said, well, that's brilliant.

01:09:45.240 And that's really funny because that's kind of the press.

01:09:47.480 The press was so, you know.

01:09:49.340 And that's funny.

01:09:50.580 And I think at the end of the day, like all entertainers, including me when I'm going out performing, and I talk about all this stuff, but my job is to entertain.

01:09:59.200 Funny is coming back, though.

01:10:01.120 I think so.

01:10:02.140 I mean, I've been ostracized from show business, you can probably tell.

01:10:05.460 But you're here.

01:10:08.980 At no point in anyone's life has been, you know, I'm going up.

01:10:13.180 I'm going up.

01:10:14.020 I'm on the Glenn Beck podcast.

01:10:15.380 He is.

01:10:16.580 Well, thank you for having me.

01:10:17.800 This is really the last box to check before.

01:10:20.120 Thank you for having me.

01:10:21.120 It's the Ashcan.

01:10:22.020 I have so many other apps.

01:10:23.400 Bill Maher had me on his show the other day, which is, you know, he suffers from the Trump derangement syndrome.

01:10:29.040 Right.

01:10:29.460 But he's also a libertarian.

01:10:31.220 He also has more in common than we don't.

01:10:33.420 We sat down and talked for an hour and a half and realized all my commonalities.

01:10:38.120 And he was grateful that I'm outspoken about, you know, these things.

01:10:41.140 And I appreciate it.

01:10:43.800 But we're here to entertain.

01:10:46.120 And we've got to entertain.

01:10:47.420 But if you can entertain and enlighten and also, I mean, you can use both.

01:10:50.360 I mean, that's the thing about George Carlin.

01:10:52.140 I think George Carlin would be all over this.

01:10:54.440 Oh, yeah.

01:10:55.160 And I don't think I'm, you know, it's not well, you know, you can't say what the dead would speak of.

01:11:00.600 But if you look at his, you know, his history of calling bullshit, bullshit, he'd be all over this.

01:11:07.480 Lenny Bruce.

01:11:08.200 I don't.

01:11:08.780 Oh, yeah.

01:11:09.240 I don't understand how comedians don't see that.

01:11:14.760 I think it's always the way.

01:11:16.560 There's the great ones that are calling it.

01:11:18.440 They're like Dave Chappelle, who's as liberal as you can be.

01:11:20.440 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:11:20.960 And he's, you know, he's calling it.

01:11:22.300 What is it?

01:11:22.720 The lunacy.

01:11:23.500 But I think that's relatively new.

01:11:26.860 And when he started, everybody was like, oh, God, he's done.

01:11:30.140 Oh, yeah, right.

01:11:30.980 Yeah.

01:11:31.380 Well, somebody tried to stab him the other day.

01:11:33.360 He was very funny, though.

01:11:34.140 He said, like, somebody tried to stab me with a gun that identified as a knife.

01:11:41.420 He's brilliant.

01:11:42.060 I don't agree with all the politics of it, but he's brilliant.

01:11:44.400 You know, and it's like, I want to go down that road and things.

01:11:47.180 And you were talking about Dr. King.

01:11:48.800 And I like, I sometimes when I'm traveling around, like I was in Atlanta and I went to the to the Civil Rights Museum.

01:11:57.640 And I was just walking through there and and I saw there was an old TV playing newsreels.

01:12:03.740 And the local reporter in Atlanta was interviewing Dr. King.

01:12:07.460 And he says, anything surprised you?

01:12:09.000 What surprised you most about the Civil Rights Movement?

01:12:11.260 And I went, I got to hear this.

01:12:13.500 And he said, well, the most surprising the most was that he said something to the effect of was the large amounts of the incredible amount of people.

01:12:22.020 Good people who did nothing.

01:12:26.240 And I was like, whoa.

01:12:29.140 That's always the case.

01:12:30.720 A large amount of good people who did nothing.

01:12:34.900 And that's what we're dealing with in this.

01:12:37.420 Like whether it's the people who just go along like in the pandemic and just we'll lock us up.

01:12:42.420 We'll lock up perfectly healthy people and quarantine them, even though that's never been done before.

01:12:46.600 And there's no science behind it.

01:12:47.840 We'll just do it.

01:12:48.700 OK, what?

01:12:49.980 And so you have this authoritarian totalitarianism out of like Governor Newsom in California, which is like he just doesn't care.

01:13:00.180 He just, you know, it's just a it's just they love the power.

01:13:03.380 They love getting up talking every morning.

01:13:05.240 They love ruining small businesses.

01:13:08.080 They don't have a problem with it because he's never worked a day in his life.

01:13:10.840 Yeah.

01:13:10.960 So they don't know how hard it is to work to be to be, you know, paint houses and to open a business every day.

01:13:16.860 And like the small amount of percentage after you're done dealing with taxes and the state taxes and the permits and all this stuff.

01:13:23.580 And you still and your employees and that taxes and health care and all this stuff.

01:13:27.500 And you got to have a little bit left over for yourself.

01:13:30.000 They don't care about that.

01:13:31.120 They don't know what it's like.

01:13:32.400 They don't.

01:13:32.860 So that is really like that's why I said Chinafornia, that's not racist.

01:13:39.860 China is a one party system.

01:13:41.840 California is a broken one party system.

01:13:45.180 You know, I say a very crude joke about it.

01:13:47.440 I stand up back.

01:13:48.480 Can I say something?

01:13:49.280 Yeah.

01:13:49.520 Yeah.

01:13:49.640 Is it OK?

01:13:50.520 I say this is very crude, but it's a nightclub.

01:13:53.340 You know, there's a theater.

01:13:54.800 You know, people pay money.

01:13:55.740 Sure.

01:13:56.000 Sure.

01:13:56.200 I warn I give a warning now.

01:13:57.560 John Cleese is very liberal.

01:13:59.120 We get along more than real than, you know, we disagree.

01:14:02.640 He's very liberal.

01:14:03.880 But he said I said, you know, John, I had like 10 walkouts last night for people.

01:14:08.120 You should give a warning before your show.

01:14:10.360 So I do.

01:14:12.140 So this is the warning.

01:14:13.500 I give a warning.

01:14:15.940 And I say that I'll give it to John Cleese's.

01:14:18.480 I'll try to do John Cleese's.

01:14:19.360 And for those of you who find themselves in their own ideological echo chamber, and if

01:14:27.860 ideas separate than their own may cause their own emotional collapse, this may be a time

01:14:33.200 to pretend you forgot something in your huge fucking truck and go out and have a good

01:14:37.420 cry and be the pussy that you know you are in your heart.

01:14:40.080 That's the warning I give before every show.

01:14:42.920 And then I talk about California because I got the heck out.

01:14:45.380 I couldn't deal with it, you know.

01:14:46.380 And so I tell people that California, this is crude.

01:14:52.360 I apologize.

01:14:53.280 California is like a beautiful woman who used to blow you, but hasn't blown you in a long

01:14:59.660 time, but she's still spending all your money.

01:15:03.100 She won't let anybody else blow you.

01:15:07.140 And now she's got homeless people in her panties.

01:15:10.840 That's very crude, but it sets the tone for what they're going to expect from the show.

01:15:15.160 But it's less dangerous than your Biden old yeller comparison.

01:15:25.060 Well, that I got, I got really angry people on that.

01:15:28.280 People got very angry in me when I said, you know, I said, Biden, I said, Biden, and I tell

01:15:34.080 people, the audience, I set them up.

01:15:35.240 I go like, listen, I don't know if you know, maybe I'm crazy here, but I think Biden is not

01:15:40.120 all there anymore.

01:15:41.020 And people just fall out laughing, you know.

01:15:44.180 And I said, and I've been like, if Biden was a dog, you'd put him down.

01:15:48.020 You just, you would, you'd have to, you know.

01:15:50.140 It's like, you know, you know, you take him outside at sunset, try to make it nice for him.

01:15:53.620 You know, Fido, let's beat it with a five iron.

01:15:55.240 You're out there.

01:15:55.920 Fido, take a look at that beautiful thing.

01:15:57.740 And then it's over, you know.

01:15:59.480 People get very upset over that.

01:16:01.060 I have to tell you, I heard that joke, and I was, I was very concerned about your animals.

01:16:07.860 I never, it worries me that you would put one down with a five iron.

01:16:12.880 Well, again, you know, it's.

01:16:14.080 Is your dog okay?

01:16:14.720 Five iron, by the way, five iron is a very funny, very funny term.

01:16:18.220 You can squeeze that in at any time.

01:16:21.800 And it's, you know, the thing about what's sad for me is that, like, because I really,

01:16:27.460 I try to appeal to liberals, you know, because I don't want to lose a potential audience.

01:16:34.780 I want more money.

01:16:36.040 I want more people.

01:16:37.020 And so, but I do feel like if I can get to them in a way where it's not antagonistic and

01:16:41.820 I'm not attacking them, and sometimes, like, when I say the Biden joke, they just get up

01:16:46.160 and leave.

01:16:46.800 Yeah, yeah.

01:16:47.960 And, but I say, hang in there.

01:16:50.640 I say, hang in there.

01:16:52.000 That's the one regret that I have.

01:16:53.480 I wish I would have been more aware.

01:16:57.160 I really thought that you're the first person that has ever said, I was a Democrat and I'd

01:17:03.440 watch you and I'd go, well, that's right.

01:17:06.920 That was kind of what I thought.

01:17:08.740 I thought if I can make it funny and I could make it all entertaining, somebody in the press

01:17:15.840 and somebody on the left would go, at least that can't be true.

01:17:20.940 Oh, crap, it is.

01:17:22.060 Yeah, but it didn't, it didn't matter.

01:17:24.960 It didn't matter.

01:17:25.760 It didn't matter.

01:17:26.420 It's not about the truth.

01:17:27.720 It's about fitting what truth they can get into the box that supports their ideological

01:17:34.500 bent.

01:17:35.640 And that is a historically dangerous position to take.

01:17:40.900 It just is.

01:17:41.880 I mean, if you take a look at whether it's the Democrats and more or Republicans, you just

01:17:46.500 like, you know, when you'd look at Robert McNamara trying to squeeze the numbers just so they

01:17:49.900 can say, well, we killed more people than we lost and then realize that all, all that

01:17:54.560 was a lie.

01:17:55.820 When our government lies to its people, they know they're committing evil and our government

01:18:01.820 is lying to its people again.

01:18:04.640 And it's going to take a stronger leader to come in.

01:18:10.540 And I hope it's DeSantis.

01:18:11.840 I mean, I think he seems to be a strong leader who goes against the, I mean, it was really

01:18:17.240 him who went up, who stopped the lockdowns, the pandemic.

01:18:20.700 It was really, he is the driving force.

01:18:22.700 And it's not, he's not, when you're saying, when you're saying, but I think comedians play

01:18:27.680 a role.

01:18:27.940 I don't think they play a big role because I would say this, you know, John Cleese said

01:18:31.520 this the other day, you know, he said, he talked about Peter Cook said, you know, it's

01:18:34.900 like the, he said, you never heard like the, those cabaret performers in Berlin.

01:18:40.340 Like, thankfully for us, we're able to stop those damn Nazis from invading Poland.

01:18:46.040 It wasn't for our jokes and our dancing and our lewd shows.

01:18:50.920 We were able to put a stop to those Nazis, but I'm sorry, I interrupted.

01:18:54.340 It was, uh, uh, it, when you said a strong leader, I think the left here is strong men

01:19:10.980 and they're already saying that, you know, uh, Ron DeSantis is worse than Donald Trump.

01:19:17.460 I mean, everybody is worse than whatever the last guy was.

01:19:20.880 Um, but he's doing it constitutionally and he's doing it legislatively.

01:19:26.720 He's not dictating and writing, you know, he's not shooting from the hip.

01:19:31.160 No, he is.

01:19:32.520 Um, and he's not mean about things, you know, but he's not, I like about it cause he's fearless,

01:19:40.240 but he doesn't ever come off, uh, with any attack or anything where you can go.

01:19:46.520 That was, that was, uh, unhinged.

01:19:49.640 You never hear unhinged cause he is very hinged.

01:19:53.060 Yes.

01:19:53.340 He is like, um, you know, he is ready to come and be the next Reagan.

01:19:58.120 Have you, I think so too.

01:19:59.400 I hope so.

01:19:59.840 Have you met Donald Trump?

01:20:01.620 Yes.

01:20:02.220 Several times.

01:20:02.960 Okay.

01:20:03.320 I was with Donald Trump and Alec Baldwin and we were all getting along wonderfully.

01:20:07.400 I don't know what happened.

01:20:09.100 2014.

01:20:09.880 Everybody seemed to not hate Donald Trump.

01:20:11.980 He didn't seem to be a gigantic racist at that time.

01:20:14.380 Uh, he is, I think, I think he has some of the best timing.

01:20:20.960 He's funny.

01:20:21.860 He is hysterical.

01:20:22.700 He's funny.

01:20:23.440 And like, you have to give it up.

01:20:24.920 It's like, it's like after four years, half the country really missed a good time.

01:20:30.860 You missed some killer tweets.

01:20:33.620 Twitter, you screwed up.

01:20:35.140 Oh, he had some good tweets coming.

01:20:37.140 But the thing about it, and you know, when Angela Merkel of Germany, the leader of Germany

01:20:44.540 says, you guys are going too far censoring a president or the leader in the, of a concept

01:20:50.200 that that's uncharted territory.

01:20:53.580 That is a step toward totalitarianism.

01:20:57.240 Um, I mean, the, uh, and that, you know, the jokes going around about, um, you know, they

01:21:02.680 better have found some really legal criminality in Mar-a-Lago, like, you know, Hillary's 30

01:21:07.580 phones.

01:21:08.540 Those are the jokes that are out there, you know, but, uh, you know, that's a bridge too

01:21:13.460 far.

01:21:13.940 And I think you have to, the, the real heroes of our Republic were the ones who walked away

01:21:22.300 from power, you know, when Nixon in 1960 was told by his advisors that, you know, they

01:21:29.820 cheated in Chicago, we can fight this.

01:21:32.920 And he said, no, the peaceful transfer of power is more important than any individual.

01:21:37.700 That's important, you know, and also when Al Gore backed off it, you know, and, and when

01:21:42.840 president, uh, when, when George Washington was offered the, to be King and he walked away

01:21:50.700 from power, that was the greatest thing he ever did.

01:21:53.620 And, uh, greatest thing any leader of any real country ever did.

01:21:58.280 Yeah.

01:21:59.800 Um, I can't let you leave without, I just heard you on, uh, the podcast with Dana Carvey and

01:22:07.140 David Spade.

01:22:08.640 Uh, thank you.

01:22:10.020 Yeah, it was really good.

01:22:11.020 Very, very fun.

01:22:11.760 Thank you.

01:22:12.280 Um, I just, I tell the story of the first time you had a role and it was, it could have

01:22:21.240 been, I think you wrote it for somebody else, but you had to play the role and it's, yeah.

01:22:27.520 Can you tell that story?

01:22:28.400 Oh yeah.

01:22:28.740 Well they, they said, you know, I said, cause you see the difference between people getting

01:22:31.760 on Saturday Night Live, they start getting movies and dating supermodels.

01:22:34.920 And I was like, you know, everything, like everything you, you dream of as a young boy,

01:22:38.460 you know, and it was like, uh, and so I, and it was, and I said, well, how do I get

01:22:41.620 on the, the, how do I get in the.

01:22:43.960 Right.

01:22:44.180 Cause you were just a writer.

01:22:45.260 Just a writer.

01:22:45.700 And that's all they thought of you as.

01:22:46.900 Yeah.

01:22:47.060 Lauren said, right.

01:22:48.160 And then, you know, and I said, can I perform?

01:22:50.340 And, you know, Lauren was like, well, you know, Chevy started as a writer and things

01:22:53.620 went pretty well for Chevy.

01:22:55.260 I said, all right, I'll do it.

01:22:57.320 And so they said, well, write something.

01:22:58.780 You can, they said, how do I get, get on here?

01:23:01.000 And they said, well, if you can come up with something that you could perform better than anybody

01:23:03.740 else, we'll let you do it.

01:23:06.560 And so I remember like, cause at that point they had so many performers on there.

01:23:11.860 I remember like the, it seemed like the beginning scrawl was like, and Adam Sandler, and Dana

01:23:16.260 Garvey, and Sarah Silver, and Al Franken, for some reason, he's still around.

01:23:20.220 And this, and that, it seemed like that was the longest part of the show.

01:23:23.200 You went from the scrawl of the cast to the news, basically.

01:23:26.760 And so, I remember one time they had a half of a half an office.

01:23:30.080 In other words, there's an office and there was so many people, they divided it.

01:23:33.740 And then the heating and cooling vent was in mine.

01:23:36.660 So I was either freezing or boiling.

01:23:38.160 And I have claustrophobia because I have older brothers who put me in sleeping bags and closets

01:23:41.840 as a boy.

01:23:42.300 So I'm always like, I can't stand being, and so I said, well, let me just go out in the

01:23:46.660 writer's room and I just, I can breathe.

01:23:48.560 And I noticed everybody walking back and forth to go eat, to go to the bathroom, we'll do

01:23:51.460 whatever they got to do.

01:23:52.940 And I noticed you couldn't be as excited the fifth, sixth, seventh time as you see Kevin

01:23:58.360 kneeling, you know?

01:23:59.580 And I thought, what if it was a guy just as excited?

01:24:01.460 Kevin!

01:24:02.180 All right!

01:24:03.220 Kevin!

01:24:03.920 Hit in the bathroom!

01:24:05.200 Kevinator!

01:24:06.580 Kevin!

01:24:07.380 And he came up and started playing with me like, well, Rob, what would you have to say?

01:24:11.160 Kevin!

01:24:11.880 All right!

01:24:12.720 Just a guy who's too happy to be there.

01:24:15.000 And then I said, well, I got to come up with like a reason for people to interact with

01:24:17.920 him because nobody's going to be, and I said, well, I'll put them next to the copy machine.

01:24:20.740 And I said, they'll come in to make copies.

01:24:22.480 Nobody makes copies anymore.

01:24:23.900 You just scan it.

01:24:25.360 So his life will be over.

01:24:27.440 And it was one of those things that caught on.

01:24:29.740 It made me famous.

01:24:30.540 Time magazine put it in there.

01:24:31.800 It was just because everybody's looking for something fun to do in their office.

01:24:35.500 You know?

01:24:35.860 When did you know I, I've, I'm a, I'm part of the culture.

01:24:42.360 When?

01:24:42.560 And interesting, like after I did it the second time, I went into, uh, the Sunday morning

01:24:48.520 where you're really hungover.

01:24:49.720 And it was just, cause it's the hundred hour week.

01:24:51.900 You're hungover from lack of sleep, you know, but you're in your twenties.

01:24:54.060 That's why they hire people in their twenties and suck their youth out.

01:24:57.520 Right.

01:24:58.120 Throw them away like last week's newspaper.

01:25:01.160 And I was in one of the mini marts there on the street and I was just getting milk.

01:25:05.320 And when I used to be, before I realized I was lactose intolerant, I'm getting milk and

01:25:09.060 getting some, whatever.

01:25:09.720 And I hear somebody and they're going, Steve-o, Steve-o-nator, Steve-o-rama.

01:25:14.980 And he didn't even know I was there.

01:25:17.780 So I said, if it's happening here with strangers, don't know them, then it's happening everywhere.

01:25:23.280 So funny.

01:25:23.980 And I had 11 radio interviews the next day.

01:25:26.180 Really?

01:25:26.620 And I said, I never had an interview.

01:25:27.600 How many, how many episodes had you done that character?

01:25:31.500 The second one.

01:25:32.460 Wow.

01:25:33.140 Yeah.

01:25:34.500 It was like, and it was.

01:25:35.520 That's when people watched Saturday Night Live.

01:25:37.300 That's when we had millions of people.

01:25:39.160 Yeah.

01:25:39.580 And it was both sides.

01:25:41.020 Yeah.

01:25:41.320 You know, it wasn't like a, a, what I call it was, it's, it's not interesting to just

01:25:51.480 do it for your, it's a choir of your own clapping people.

01:25:55.240 And like, it's just any, it's not, it's not as interesting.

01:25:58.100 And like, to me, the more interesting is go against the, all the, all the great comedians

01:26:01.560 went against what the mob was doing, but go against it.

01:26:05.020 You know, like Dick Gregory was a friend of mine and like, he was the real, the Jackie Robinson

01:26:09.080 of comedy.

01:26:09.680 He was before Lenny Bruce and he passed away a couple of years ago.

01:26:13.860 Andre Gaines.

01:26:14.660 They did a very nice, I was a producer on the, the, the documentary, which was on Showtime.

01:26:19.720 And, um, you know, Dick was, he said, you know, I, I, I, cause at a certain point in

01:26:26.740 Hollywood, I was able to like hire people to do stuff.

01:26:29.200 And I went like, I remember my dad loving Dick Gregory and went to go see him at the Hungry

01:26:33.320 Eye with my, with my mom, you know, who she's Filipino.

01:26:37.620 She didn't understand one joke.

01:26:38.500 She go, what does it mean?

01:26:40.900 Marvin, what does it mean?

01:26:41.860 Marvin?

01:26:42.140 I don't understand what I, what is this?

01:26:44.680 And then, um, where is the South?

01:26:46.740 What is the South he's talking about?

01:26:48.780 And so I was able to hire him and to be in a movie, the hot chick, you know, and then

01:26:52.940 his son told me, he said, not everybody wanted him to be on that movie, but he said, you

01:26:56.400 know, he's a comedian.

01:26:57.260 He wants to do jokes.

01:26:58.020 He came in and he was great.

01:26:58.980 He played the bathroom attendant and he nailed it, you know, and we had fun in there.

01:27:02.820 And I said, then at the time, you know, still very, very liberal.

01:27:05.520 And I said, Dick, it's not getting better.

01:27:06.940 How is it getting better?

01:27:07.900 And at that time there was this horrendous crime that happened in Houston where this

01:27:11.000 African-American was like dragged behind a pickup truck until another, and then I said,

01:27:16.200 how is that getting better?

01:27:17.100 And he said to me, it's getting better.

01:27:19.440 So how is that better?

01:27:20.900 You heard about it, didn't you?

01:27:22.720 Before you never heard about it.

01:27:24.060 Now the police have to do something about it.

01:27:26.140 That's an improvement.

01:27:27.000 That's the guy who has historical look at this.

01:27:30.320 And he said, one of my favorite jokes he ever said was Dick Greger.

01:27:33.220 He said like, you know, after protesting with Martin Luther King Jr., after marching with

01:27:38.820 Martin Luther King Jr. to finally get in to eat in a diner with white people, by the time

01:27:44.560 I got in to eat, they didn't have anything I wanted.

01:27:46.920 Come on.

01:27:50.240 I mean, isn't that just manna from heaven?

01:27:53.180 It brings everybody together.

01:27:54.820 Beautiful.

01:27:55.660 Best advice you ever got from a comedian on comedy?

01:28:00.420 Jay Leno.

01:28:00.920 You know, I remember in the early 80s, you know, I had a manager and I was starting to

01:28:06.160 get, you know, doing standup when I was young and because my dad had comedy albums, you know,

01:28:10.420 he didn't have music albums.

01:28:11.440 He listened to comedy.

01:28:12.200 That's what I said, you know, the way to get my dad's attention, make him laugh, you

01:28:15.860 know, he was a busy man, workaholic, you know, lovely guy, but he was gone all the time

01:28:20.400 working and he loved it.

01:28:22.080 And so I wanted his attention, you know, I remember he used to give us gifts and I remember

01:28:25.360 I'm trying to break that habit, but I always got the gift and I go, that's not

01:28:30.920 what I want.

01:28:32.180 I want your time.

01:28:33.640 I never expressed that to him, but I just like, I felt it and I feel that with my kids

01:28:37.380 now, the same mistakes I'm making.

01:28:39.800 So, um, but I was just, I said, you're going to pick up Jay Leno.

01:28:43.320 And this is before there was, you know, a cloud, an iCloud where you can look up in global

01:28:47.460 positioning.

01:28:48.120 You had a Thomas guide and you're going to drive him to the place.

01:28:51.640 You know, San Francisco, like the back of your hand, you know, you know, and I did.

01:28:54.700 So I picked him up with a sign, Mr. Leno.

01:28:56.680 And he was doing one at the time he was on the Letterman show though.

01:28:59.360 And what's, uh, what's, what's your beef?

01:29:00.920 You didn't even tell anybody beef.

01:29:02.620 And, um, so, and I drove him to the radio and I drove him to the theater and he said,

01:29:09.640 Hey, you know, you know, a good Chinese restaurant.

01:29:11.780 And I said, I know the best Chinese restaurant, Mr. Leno.

01:29:13.980 And it was the place I used to drive by when I was a boy.

01:29:16.840 My dad would go, that's where the politicians and the rich people go.

01:29:20.120 And that restaurant, it's really good.

01:29:22.320 But this one's just as good.

01:29:23.740 And it's for us, you know, and it's just as good, you know, and it's, it's not that

01:29:28.140 fancy.

01:29:28.520 We're not fancy.

01:29:29.400 And so I always, um, admired my dad for that, but I took him to the fancy one because I

01:29:34.720 said, you know, and he said, you come out and eat with me.

01:29:37.120 I want to eat by myself.

01:29:37.740 I want to eat by myself or whatever.

01:29:39.320 And so he ordered the food.

01:29:40.220 So are you a comedian?

01:29:41.380 You know, he figured out if I'm driving.

01:29:42.560 He said, yes, Mr. Leno, how much time you got?

01:29:45.240 And I said, I got about eight minutes, eight minutes.

01:29:46.980 I'm glad to hear that.

01:29:47.880 Most comedians ask, how much time you got?

01:29:49.620 I got two hours.

01:29:50.540 I got two hours of comedy material.

01:29:52.360 He said, who wants to hear two hours of comedy material?

01:29:54.440 You have to have five minutes of kills every time, everywhere.

01:29:56.880 Oh, you got nothing.

01:29:57.620 That's the thing.

01:29:58.120 You got to get five minutes.

01:29:59.100 All you need is 20 minutes to become a star.

01:30:01.000 All you need is 20 minutes to become a star.

01:30:04.000 Five minutes of kills.

01:30:04.880 You don't have that.

01:30:05.340 You don't have that.

01:30:05.740 I spent the next eight months working on just those five minutes.

01:30:09.420 And then a year after that, I got on Letterman doing that five minutes.

01:30:12.580 And then he told me, which is true.

01:30:13.960 You don't get, you get those nuggets of information.

01:30:16.060 It's like, I literally like you, this is like a tattoo you should put on, on your body.

01:30:20.540 And like 20 minutes is all you need to become a star.

01:30:22.860 And it was at that time, like Chris Rock, David Spade and Adam Sandler and myself, we

01:30:27.800 had like 20 killer minutes.

01:30:29.140 I don't know if we had an hour, maybe Rock did, but, and, uh, but that was really good

01:30:33.200 advice.

01:30:33.520 And, you know, write what, you know, uh, that was, it's true because like, I used to walk

01:30:39.800 into a comedy club and I see 30 other comedians at the time as a comedy boom.

01:30:42.820 Cause that's when Robin Williams was, was, was famous and there was money in it.

01:30:48.080 It's like, it's like, this guy's making movies.

01:30:49.620 He got a TV show.

01:30:50.860 Morgan mini.

01:30:51.440 So I got to do, and, um, I would walk into a place and to be kind of like, you know,

01:30:56.880 frightening is thinking like, well, there's 30 comedians.

01:30:59.360 How am I going to make it?

01:31:00.080 And they're not, what's going to be the difference?

01:31:02.340 And I said, well, I'm going to have to work harder.

01:31:04.180 And if they're talking about anything that's similar to me, I'm going to throw it out.

01:31:07.420 And even if, even if it kills, and I'm going to talk about my mother, I'm going to talk

01:31:11.720 about my father, my car, me.

01:31:13.680 So it's very personable.

01:31:15.020 And that's how I made it.

01:31:17.020 You know, as I said, I'm just going to end working, just, just hitting those clubs a hundred

01:31:20.900 times to where like, you don't break.

01:31:23.260 Right.

01:31:24.080 I mean, I remember I'm in walking off stage one time and I bombed one time and I said,

01:31:27.980 I felt like the, the, the physical manifestation of humiliation, you have to, you have to get rid

01:31:33.380 of your ego and you have to build it back from a place of reality, you know?

01:31:37.480 And I felt like the, the, when you're eating it on stage, it's like the manifestation is

01:31:42.280 your ears melting off your face and you have to like say, okay, I can't let it get to me

01:31:47.000 like that.

01:31:47.520 And you get steely so that, you know, when it ain't going good, you just, you hammer through

01:31:51.600 it.

01:31:51.740 But that takes hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of performances to get that.

01:31:55.820 I, I, uh, I used to carry it around.

01:32:00.280 And I do a show radio show and it wasn't good.

01:32:04.200 And I would just be, I, I, it would just drive me out of my mind and I couldn't wait

01:32:10.620 to get back on the air to do it right.

01:32:13.640 Right.

01:32:14.140 Is that how you felt or was it more?

01:32:15.900 Yeah.

01:32:16.080 Cause it's so personal.

01:32:16.820 I still feel that way.

01:32:17.780 It could be me.

01:32:18.800 Oh yeah.

01:32:19.060 I still feel the way.

01:32:19.880 I mean, I have audiences that just are happy that I come out.

01:32:21.940 Sometimes they come out and they just stand up just cause they've seen all the movies

01:32:24.700 or whatever, or they, they follow me on Twitter and realize I'm a freedom fighter on social.

01:32:29.920 I'm a freedom fighter.

01:32:31.440 I'm out there tweeting cause I believe in freedom and, um, and I haven't been canceled

01:32:37.220 completely yet, obviously.

01:32:39.860 And so, um, you know, but I do feel sometimes it's a difference and I will just tell you

01:32:44.940 that what happens, that's a perfectly normal and that's a good thing because if you don't

01:32:48.020 care, if you don't beat yourself up, it's a less potential to be great.

01:32:51.820 And I remember one time someone who beat themselves up way more than me, I said, we know one of

01:32:55.920 these talks, I do try to learn things and ask questions, not always, but if I'm in a

01:33:00.000 town, what's in that town?

01:33:01.480 Let me go check it out.

01:33:02.480 Is there a museum?

01:33:03.280 Let me, I'll go wake up and get yourself into it.

01:33:05.460 And if I'm performing with somebody or like it was some, I don't even remember the show,

01:33:10.400 but it was like one of those late night shows.

01:33:12.120 And I was with this, this beautiful violinist.

01:33:14.540 Um, I forget her name.

01:33:15.760 I'm so sorry.

01:33:16.660 And she's like one of the greatest violinists in America.

01:33:18.680 And I said, how many times do you perform a year?

01:33:22.380 She says 250.

01:33:23.620 Oh my gosh.

01:33:24.260 And I said, how many times of the 250 do you really feel on?

01:33:29.860 And guess what number she said?

01:33:32.920 10.

01:33:34.280 2.

01:33:35.040 2.

01:33:35.860 And I said, wow, most of your year you're disappointed in yourself.

01:33:40.620 And I'm like, my God, I can't live that way.

01:33:42.840 I got to have fun with this.

01:33:44.400 And I said, I can't beat myself up like that.

01:33:46.500 And you still kind of do, but like, it's, um, it's funny.

01:33:50.320 It does change.

01:33:51.100 And I think it's just years and years and years of doing it.

01:33:55.540 And it's a combination of yourself.

01:33:57.480 Yeah.

01:33:57.760 It's a combination of don't take it so seriously.

01:34:01.640 And I don't really give a crap anymore.

01:34:04.940 What can they do to me now?

01:34:06.560 I'm divorced.

01:34:07.640 I've got nothing.

01:34:08.880 No, it worked.

01:34:10.160 And I do feel that sense, like, you know, thankfully I could sell out comedy clubs and

01:34:16.060 theaters and, and I did make a movie that I, I got called daddy daughter trip.

01:34:20.180 That's coming out soon.

01:34:21.380 We're opening it in Arizona first.

01:34:23.160 And I literally like some of the people that I've made a lot of money for would do, didn't

01:34:27.500 take the movie.

01:34:28.100 And I know it's a good movie for them and I get it.

01:34:30.820 It's a business and you can't take it personally.

01:34:33.240 Um, I don't, why didn't they take it?

01:34:35.260 I think it's because of, um, a conservative.

01:34:37.160 I know it is.

01:34:38.440 And I know it's because I don't, I went against the, the tide of this, um, you know, the, the,

01:34:45.660 the tide of this intelligentsia saying, do whatever the government says is really interesting.

01:34:50.380 How does Hollywood miss the fact that we're living the McCarthy era all over again?

01:34:56.700 Because, because Hollywood is always going to be susceptible to the blacklisting and the

01:35:02.080 alienating of people because it's an elitist system.

01:35:04.160 It's the most elitist business in the world because like, I, I remember hanging out with

01:35:07.920 one of my friends, co-stars, just an English actress.

01:35:11.380 He said, I've already worked with four Academy Award winning directors and producers.

01:35:16.000 So it's kind of elitism, an elitism, an elitism, an elitism in this other scale.

01:35:20.220 It's the most elitist business in the world, Hollywood.

01:35:22.600 You know, like the fact that they didn't kick out Will Smith at the Oscars was just an

01:35:26.840 abomination, but they were so afraid of anybody saying that they're racist.

01:35:30.980 They like, I said, maybe we should kick out Bradley Cooper because he's white and he

01:35:34.080 hugged him.

01:35:34.760 Let's kick out Bradley Cooper.

01:35:35.760 I mean, this is the kind of lunacy, lunacy.

01:35:39.420 And then, because what I think what it comes down to is most actors are coming from a place

01:35:43.980 of, please hire me, please.

01:35:45.820 And so they're so afraid that they won't be hired to giving anybody a reason to, to not

01:35:49.920 hire them that, you know, you can't be.

01:35:51.800 And I've been told, don't be controversial, you know, cause I tweeted a thing and they said,

01:35:55.940 you know, Rob, we're trying to sell a TV show and you're trying to do that.

01:35:58.300 And it was my manager at the time.

01:35:59.860 And he said like, cause I tweeted, I said, California would vote for a bowl of shit.

01:36:04.000 If it had a D next to it, I'll vote for that.

01:36:07.420 Let's go shit.

01:36:08.580 You know?

01:36:08.900 And I tweeted that.

01:36:09.860 And it just, it was one of those things that's just like viral.

01:36:11.740 You never realize it's a joke.

01:36:13.340 I did a nice thing.

01:36:13.920 And I was like, what?

01:36:14.500 That's stopping me from getting work.

01:36:16.320 Wow.

01:36:16.640 But you have to, but Hollywood is always going to have that susceptibility to a, to, to,

01:36:25.240 uh, you know, James MacArthur.

01:36:28.360 I think that, you know, the blacklist, I think he was one of the actors that never worked again.

01:36:32.360 He was a great actor in the fifties, you know?

01:36:34.400 And, um, I think, uh, I think that was his name.

01:36:37.860 I mean, I could be wrong now, but there's that potential is always going to be there in

01:36:42.220 Hollywood because you're just trying to, what's the most popular thing?

01:36:45.060 What do we need to do?

01:36:45.840 How do we continue to keep our jobs?

01:36:48.080 And, and I used to real, I realized something when I was at the studio system, first time

01:36:52.440 I got fired at Disney, I was depressed when I got kicked off the lot at Sony.

01:36:55.580 I was, I was like relieved, but I realized this, these people don't want to make the

01:37:00.100 best movies that they can make the funniest movies.

01:37:02.020 They don't operate from that.

01:37:03.720 And I put it in, it's in my book that will be coming up hopefully next year.

01:37:07.720 They don't operate that way.

01:37:09.320 I thought they would.

01:37:10.280 They operate from what will delay my inevitable firing the longest.

01:37:15.840 And that's how they operate because they all know they're going to get fired.

01:37:19.640 So if I put my name with everybody else's name on this $200 million Goliath and that

01:37:23.500 goes down, well, the whole studio goes down.

01:37:25.000 But if I take a risk on this little comedy that doesn't work, well, I'll be exposed.

01:37:30.860 I remember one guy just wouldn't push the button on this one movie at Fox.

01:37:34.760 He just wouldn't go ahead.

01:37:35.700 And then we're like, well, cause he's worried about getting fired.

01:37:39.360 That's why he doesn't want to put his neck.

01:37:40.800 He doesn't want to get above the firing line.

01:37:42.800 And if you do, you know, you and I have put our head above the firing line.

01:37:47.220 It's ugly.

01:37:47.980 It's the, you know, it's, that's the line.

01:37:49.220 But it is what people, where they are, that's what they're looking for.

01:37:53.540 I think so.

01:37:54.400 I do too.

01:37:55.040 I want to think so.

01:37:55.780 Yeah.

01:37:56.200 I want to think so.

01:37:57.200 I want to think that there's the, the good amount of people who didn't step up in, you

01:38:04.460 know, during the civil rights movement for a lot of it.

01:38:07.040 Eventually I think most of the people did and you see the betterment of society for

01:38:12.740 it.

01:38:13.220 And I think for the people who like agreed to lock down, even though there was nothing

01:38:18.260 wrong with them and this, there was no such thing as asymptomatic spread and all that

01:38:22.680 crap that they, I think, you know, I'm hopeful that the next time that the government tries

01:38:31.640 this, cause they're not done.

01:38:32.540 I hope that these people wake up and realize how important that first amendment is, how

01:38:37.860 important that second amendment is, how important that third amendment is, even the fourth and

01:38:43.660 the fifth.

01:38:44.400 And you realize that like, you cannot burn down the house and destroy our constitution, stack

01:38:50.020 our court because you didn't win.

01:38:53.380 That's not how you play this game.

01:38:55.920 This is much for people who don't put country, God and family first.

01:39:00.920 God, country, family, God, family, country.

01:39:05.600 You have to, we have to, that's the only way we're going to survive that.

01:39:09.560 And we have to make sure that our leaders coming up, that we can protect them and that we can

01:39:15.700 support these people who believe in that.

01:39:18.620 And I am still bullish on this country.

01:39:21.760 I love it.

01:39:22.460 And I'll do everything I can in my power.

01:39:24.040 And if my, if I never work again as an actor and, but I can talk to people wherever I can

01:39:29.100 talk to you and just come from a place, like you said, in a place of, of wanting to unify

01:39:35.160 people and coming from a place, not attacking, coming from a place of love, but also going

01:39:39.520 to call people when I think that they're destructive to the foundational principles of our great

01:39:46.620 country.

01:39:47.020 We have to do that at the expense of whatever they take away from me.

01:39:51.520 It's been a great conversation.

01:39:53.380 Well, thank you.

01:39:54.020 I think we should turn the cameras on at this point.

01:39:56.040 I think we're ready to go.

01:39:58.620 Thank you for having me.

01:39:59.680 Thank you.

01:40:00.360 It's a real honor.

01:40:01.200 Oh, thank you.

01:40:01.720 Honor's mine.

01:40:02.400 Thank you.

01:40:02.740 Just a reminder.
