00:00:00.000
So I got banned from YouTube for a week because I don't believe in a certain very prominent
00:00:05.780
modern ideology relating to how some people relate to other people and to themselves and
00:00:14.780
I can't say it, can't name what that is. So anyway, I decided we would take a step back
00:00:20.260
from that ideology to maybe the source of that ideology, which is feminism. Feminism
00:00:28.440
has led to all sorts of mistaken ideas about the way human beings really work. And ever since Norm
00:00:34.880
died, I've been really longing for good comedy these days. And Bill Burr, probably the next best
00:00:41.180
comic, the one still alive. So my producers assure me Bill Burr has a lot of important things to say
00:00:46.740
about feminism. This video is brought to you by Jen. You'll sell more from them in a bit. First,
00:00:50.820
Mr. Burr. No means no. That's another one. No means no. It's like, no, it doesn't. All right.
00:00:58.440
Look, look, no means no. No. That means no. All right. But no, stop it. What are you doing?
00:01:05.880
Oh my God. You're being so bad. Stop it. No. Yeah, that's not a f***ing no. That means I want to do
00:01:17.120
it, but I'm afraid you're going to judge me. So I'm just going to make it look like it was your idea
00:01:21.440
you don't figure out that I've already performed this act with 40 other f***ing people. Right?
00:01:27.720
But then, then you go to court and you get a bad read and there's some guy reading it. Oh,
00:01:32.780
your honor. She said, no, stop it. What are you doing? You're being so bad.
00:01:38.820
Yeah. And you just said to me like, she didn't f***ing say it like that. She didn't say it like
00:01:43.100
that. Yeah, that's obviously true. This is why the libs don't understand Baby It's Cold Outside.
00:01:47.900
They think that Baby It's Cold Outside is a song about rape. They don't realize that it's a song
00:01:51.740
about modesty and the norms that used to govern the relations between men and women. So she says,
00:01:57.940
oh, I really can't stay. Baby, it's cold outside. She says, okay, well, maybe I'll just hang out for
00:02:03.720
a second. No, no, I've got to go away. Oh, come on, baby. It's pretty cold outside. Oh, well, okay,
00:02:10.540
maybe. I guess I'll sit around. And because we don't have modesty anymore and because women are told
00:02:15.560
that it's actually good to just sleep with the first guys that you see and treat sex in exactly
00:02:21.400
the same way men treat sex, the idea of modesty being something valuable is completely missing.
00:02:27.960
Next one. I remember we were having waffles. My mother always made Sunday breakfast. So we had
00:02:31.900
all these waffles, eggs, bacon, this whole layout. My brother was looking at half-eaten cubed steaks
00:02:36.500
and a little mound of green bean casserole. And he goes, so he looked at my mom. He goes,
00:02:41.260
mom, can I have a waffle? And she goes, no, you got to finish your supper. He's like, well,
00:02:47.460
after I finish my waffle, supper, then can I have a waffle? She goes, no, that is your breakfast.
00:02:52.720
And he goes, oh, mom, I hate you. And my dad, without looking up, took a full glass of milk and
00:02:57.440
threw it in his face. We know what's hilarious was my mother just popped up and just immediately
00:03:04.780
started cleaning up. And my dad just kept eating. Like he didn't like, no, like the rolls were defined
00:03:11.020
back then. Now the guy has to throw the milk. He has to clean it up while telling his wife she's
00:03:16.600
brave for just sitting there. Like whatever that is. Can you hear it? Oh, oh, I know.
00:03:23.040
Women are so overrated, right? We went from not listening to them to now. It's just, it's just,
00:03:31.380
you know, it's just, it's, it's ridiculous. Like that believe women. It's like all of them.
00:03:36.060
You know what I miss? I miss, yeah. Tougher parenting and evidence. Those are the things
00:03:42.520
that I miss from my childhood. Evidence. Evidence. Yeah. You mean due process? Right.
00:03:48.040
Somebody says something happened and then someone else goes, well, I said it happened this way. Like
00:03:51.600
the old gumshoe shows. Then they had to figure it out. Right. Yeah. That doesn't exist now on,
00:03:56.420
on social media. It's just like, it's just frontier justice. Right. You feel how nervous everybody
00:04:00.820
just got in here? The fact that I just suggested that there should be due process. This guy's
00:04:06.940
talking crazy, man. Did he just join ISIS? Yeah. I love it. And he doesn't bag away from it at all.
00:04:12.940
And he does that great thing where he's still doing a bit, you know, so he's giving, even Conan,
00:04:18.780
who's pretty liberal and who's very good at being the straight man to his guests, but he gives Conan
00:04:25.240
the out to participate and he gives the audience the out to laugh. You know, I'm talking 85%, 87%.
00:04:31.220
He goes, yeah, man, you know what I miss? I miss, you know, good old, you know, defined roles. I miss
00:04:36.280
dinner and I miss evidence. You know, evidence was pretty good. And he won't back away from it.
00:04:41.580
Norm was really the king of this, of just totally leaning in, no matter how much the audience turned,
00:04:46.920
he would just keep leaning in. Chappelle does it to some degree and Bill Burr, Bill Burr does it.

00:05:47.660
I'm sick of Obama's wife. Yeah. This isn't some Republican rant either. It's just kind of first
00:05:57.040
ladies in general. You know, I don't know what it is. All throughout my life, with each presidency,
00:06:03.200
like these first ladies, they've just gotten more and more like, like, uh, like chatty.
00:06:07.040
You know, more and more chiming in, like leaning into the frame, spitting out their ideas. Let me
00:06:16.060
guess. Is this considered sexist? It is? Why? Well, okay. You just nodded there, lady. Let me ask you
00:06:22.880
this. All right. Let's say you had a leak in your house. Okay. You call a plumber up. He shows up
00:06:27.660
and he goes, yeah, I think the leak's coming from the upstairs bathroom. We need to shut it up.
00:06:31.640
Then all of a sudden his wife walks in, who isn't a plumber? And then goes, hey, you know,
00:06:37.080
I'm actually thinking, hey, wouldn't you be like, with all due respect, shut the f*** up.
00:06:42.680
I need a plumber in this moment, which leads you to Michelle Obama, right? Now she's sitting there
00:06:48.740
holding up those hashtags. Remember that hashtag, bring back our girls? Remember that? It's like,
00:06:54.380
it blew my mind. It's like, why are you showing me that? I'm a standup comedian. Like,
00:06:59.560
what am I going to do to get those girls back? Why don't you look across the dinner table? It's
00:07:05.000
like, you see that guy? That is the leader of the free world. Tell him to pick up a phone,
00:07:13.400
call some Navy SEALs and solve it. What am I going to do? Show up with a sharpened mic stand.
00:07:19.560
Michelle said to bring her back. The funniest part about that whole bit is that Bill Burr had to do
00:07:26.840
the first part to give himself permission to do the second part. Because he opened up,
00:07:32.260
he goes, I don't really like Obama's wife. You can leave. You guys are retarded.
00:07:36.480
And that is the joke. And he could have gone straight into, you see that stupid thing,
00:07:39.600
believe all girls, or not believe all girls, bring our girls home. Yeah, well, that was dumb. And that
00:07:43.940
was stupid. She should talk to her husband. But instead he had to give himself permission by
00:07:47.740
saying, look, I'm not just talking about her. I'm talking about all these first ladies. And I'm just
00:07:51.160
saying, I don't think the first lady has any role in American public life, which of course,
00:07:55.280
the first lady does have a role in public life. The first lady has a lot of important roles in
00:07:59.200
diplomacy, as a figurehead in the United States, none of which is necessary for Bill Burr's bit.
00:08:05.480
So I totally go along with his bit. But the whole thing, I need a plumber and I get the plumber's
00:08:10.800
wife nosing in. Come on, get out of here. Get your opinion out of here. It's all just a way to
00:08:14.580
generalize this to all first ladies in order that he can attack Michelle Obama in particular.
00:08:20.720
So I really like that part, but I almost wish he would just go straight. He's
00:08:25.020
probably smarter. I mean, he's a very successful comedian with a huge mainstream following. But
00:08:28.620
I wish we live at a time where he could just go out and say like, no, it's just her. She's just
00:08:32.780
particularly grating. You know that lady who said she was never proud of her country until
00:08:37.180
elected her husband president? You know that lady? Yeah, she's actually worse than the other first
00:08:41.600
ladies. And it's all right to say that. It's all right to admit it. Okay, next one.
00:08:45.120
What did you think of Hillary Clinton at the inauguration? I thought that was for her to show up at that
00:08:50.980
inauguration. It's the second time that... And she started crying a little bit again. I just,
00:08:55.460
I don't know, man. I don't know. I get sick of people making excuses for her. She blew it.
00:09:00.980
See that? Nobody thinks that. She blew it. Look, you lost to a guy who said three things a week that
00:09:06.020
would torpedo anybody else's campaign. How do you do that? That's like you're playing a football game,
00:09:11.220
the other team throws 20 interceptions and you still, you're still figuring out how to blow it.
00:09:17.060
At what point, at what point do you take responsibility? They tried to say they would
00:09:22.180
be like, oh, it was a bunch of, I love the racist white guy thing. A bunch of racist white guys.
00:09:26.580
They came out of the forest and they were just going Trump, Trump, Trump. It's like, where were all
00:09:31.700
these racist white guys the last two elections when they could have voted against the black guy?
00:09:35.300
They were fine. Oh, I don't mind the black guy. But this white lady, we got to stop her.
00:09:40.740
She's going to take her four wheelers, McCoozie. Yeah, that's great. That's a little more direct
00:09:45.460
than some of his other stuff. He's still kind of giving him an out. He's like, look, I'm not talking
00:09:48.500
about the election and who I prefer or whatever. I just think that she blew it. But he's being a
00:09:53.460
little more direct here where he's just saying, look, the Democrat talking points are just so stupid.
00:09:57.140
You know, he's really kind of making fun of them more directly, including on Conan's show,
00:10:01.060
liberal host, liberal audience. That's pretty good stuff. I mean, he's,
00:10:04.740
he's very good. This is no knock on Bill Burr or Dave Chappelle or Louis CK or anybody. But I
00:10:12.180
always thought of it as kind of like Norm than everybody else. But Bill Burr is probably my,
00:10:16.820
my number two after Norm. All right, that's it. That's great stuff. And we avoided talking about
00:10:23.380
that issue that we can't, that no one can talk about on YouTube. You can talk about it on Daily
00:10:28.980
Wire Plus, so subscribe over there. You can talk about it on Twitter, on my show page,
00:10:33.220
M Knowles show at Twitter. You can follow me personally on Twitter, Michael J Knowles.
00:10:36.580
We can talk about that issue relating to human nature and sexuality, but we're not allowed to
00:10:44.500
talk about it here. Not allowed to articulate views that have been held by virtually every
00:10:49.700
single person who's ever lived. We're not allowed to say that here anymore. Maybe,
00:10:53.220
maybe I could say it if I were telling jokes about it. Let me know which comedians you think
00:10:56.260
we should cover next. We'll see you next time. You don't know how good you got it, lady!
