TRIGGERnometry - Rob Schneider：＂I'm A 90s Liberal — Which Makes Me A Fascist＂

00:00:00.000 I have people in my life who depend on me.

00:00:02.560 Most of you listening do too.

00:00:04.440 And if you're honest with yourself,

00:00:05.900 you've probably had that moment where you think,

00:00:08.240 what happens to them if I'm not around tomorrow?

00:00:10.720 It's not a fun question,

00:00:12.120 but ignoring it does not make it go away.

00:00:14.360 This is why I think today's sponsor

00:00:53.700 I've been making arguments in public for long enough

00:00:56.200 to know that being right is rarely sufficient.

00:00:58.520 You have to be clear, you have to be precise, and you have to understand how language actually works on an audience.

00:01:04.040 Which is why I recommend Hillsdale College's new online course, Classical Logic and Rhetoric.

00:01:09.000 In this course, a Hillsdale College professor teaches you the tools to construct a sound argument.

00:01:13.720 You'll learn how to think more clearly, how to structure your reasoning so it holds up under pressure,

00:01:18.440 and how to communicate your ideas in a way that people can understand and respond to.

00:01:22.520 Rhetoric is not manipulation. Logic is not pedantry.

00:01:25.960 Together, they are the tools that allow you to think and speak at your best.

00:01:29.860 This course makes that accessible to anyone.

00:01:32.640 To enroll, go to hillsdale.edu slash trigger.

00:01:36.060 There's no cost and it's easy to get started.

00:01:38.700 That's hillsdale.edu slash trigger.

00:01:43.480 Mexican waiter was really nervous.

00:01:45.620 And I said, you know, are you okay?

00:01:47.640 Mr. Snyder ain't nervous because I know her legally.

00:01:51.060 So I worry that the ISO can take me back to Mexico.

00:01:56.320 You know, these are the guys we want here in this country.

00:01:58.160 People working hard.

00:02:00.020 Then he completely fucked up our order.

00:02:01.840 And I was like, get this guy out of here. 0.99

00:02:04.180 You can't fuck up lunch. 0.99

00:02:05.580 That's the most important meal of the day. 0.99

00:02:07.440 As soon as I got the check, I called ICE.

00:02:08.880 And at table 47, got to get over here.

00:02:11.880 I'm a conservative.

00:02:12.800 Well, I mean, I'm a 90s liberal, which makes me a right-wing fascist now, right?

00:02:17.020 We all are. 0.97

00:02:17.720 God forbid we stick to those free speech and women's rights and things like that. 1.00

00:02:23.520 Crazy stuff.

00:02:24.180 The idea that you can silence other people just because you disagree, I mean, that has to be, I mean, I'm still waiting for the Democrats to say that's not good.

00:02:34.000 I think you might be waiting for a while.

00:02:38.140 California either has a huge homeless problem or a gigantic camping success story.

00:02:43.800 Maybe it's both. I don't know.

00:02:47.580 Rob Schneider, welcome back.

00:02:50.460 Thank you so much.

00:02:51.380 Brother, it's only been about a year.

00:02:54.000 Last time we had you on the show, it was right after the election.

00:02:57.860 Yeah.

00:02:58.360 Pretty much the biggest episode we've ever done.

00:03:00.640 2.5 million views.

00:03:02.280 People absolutely loved it.

00:03:04.400 Thank you.

00:03:04.880 Very honored.

00:03:05.660 It's been 12 months and like so much has happened.

00:03:08.460 It's crazy.

00:03:10.000 No, it seems like the Chinese, it's not a proverb, but it's basically. 0.99

00:03:15.520 The curse. 0.99

00:03:15.780 The curse, yeah.

00:03:17.180 May you live in interesting times.

00:03:19.060 We are living in very interesting times.

00:03:20.420 A lot has happened since then. 1.00

00:03:22.760 I think the realization is still sinking in to the liberals that they've lost power and they are not giving up easily as the demonstrations, the no kings, leftist demonstrations, as the former Soviets called them, the useful idiots. 0.99

00:03:40.800 So they're doing that. 0.99

00:03:41.900 And also there's a wake up.

00:03:43.100 I mean, the fact just because the Republicans are in power that they can actually do all the stuff they want to do.

00:03:48.040 It's a wake-up call to realize

00:03:50.760 You know, you can't

00:03:52.180 There's some impediments to it

00:03:54.100 Love

00:03:54.880 We can't do everything we'd like to

00:03:57.880 But we'd like to, very much so

00:03:59.540 The only conversation you and our booker have

00:04:02.920 Is basically you impersonating his English accent

00:04:05.100 On the book

00:04:05.600 And ripping him a new one

00:04:07.400 We all enjoy listening in as that happens

00:04:09.720 No, I just like, he just assumes like

00:04:11.900 No, I told you yesterday, we're coming at 1.30 1.00

00:04:14.020 Yeah, but I didn't agree, you asshole 0.99

00:04:16.740 No, but I said I sent you a message, which means it's going to happen automatically. 0.99

00:04:20.660 I'm English.

00:04:21.340 I make things happen.

00:04:22.460 You still use our rules.

00:04:24.640 Well, you kept the rule of law and property rights.

00:04:26.740 We owe you.

00:04:27.240 So when I say a message, you'll stuck with it.

00:04:29.180 I mean, it's not wrong, is it?

00:04:31.580 No, it's not wrong.

00:04:32.680 But it is lovely, though, because I find myself to be an Anglophile. 0.81

00:04:36.760 And all the best humor was that because we didn't get the shitty stuff, you know.

00:04:40.380 Truthfully, I was never, I mean, no offense, but I was never into Benny Hill.

00:04:42.940 But Monty Python, I mean, you know, It's All Right, Jack, those great comedies, the Ealing comedies.

00:04:48.520 I mean, that was the basis of, like, great comedy.

00:04:50.580 And it's because your people were so angry, because I don't think you participated in the Marshall Plans. 0.82

00:04:56.540 You didn't get banked out like Germany.

00:04:58.240 So you guys were still rationing, like, into the 50s.

00:05:03.460 Yeah.

00:05:03.820 And they were pissed. 1.00

00:05:04.300 We won the fucking world! 0.99

00:05:05.680 way out you know so that was kind of um similarly how like i just got back from hungary and like 0.94

00:05:12.060 and the war never ended there just new new occupiers came in but so so there was a beautiful

00:05:18.320 thing that happened i think in english humor correct me if i'm wrong but whereas there was

00:05:21.960 still like an intensity like you know after the war and all the the pressure leading up to it you

00:05:27.660 couldn't wait to get rid of churchill and then you know the next thing so the comedy had an edge to

00:05:32.640 it that i think led to like eventually 19 i think it's 61 when peter cook uh went on the the foot

00:05:39.820 lights and then that was uh you know john cleese and eric idol i think were watching that night

00:05:46.300 and didn't didn't realize you can make fun of the establishment you can make i think he made

00:05:50.540 fun of the prime minister peter cook and that was that was the beginning of uh the rise and i think

00:05:55.880 that led to, you know, to another level. The high watermark of comedy in the 20th century, English

00:06:03.020 Monty Python. Well, Peter Cook was one of our greatest ever satirists. Him and Dudley Moore,

00:06:08.820 of course, had that famous partnership. But one of the things that people were taken aback with

00:06:13.640 by Peter Cook at the time was how savage he was. And, you know, we were very much, no, no,

00:06:18.320 these are our betters. You can't talk about them like that. That's very. And he just went in.

00:06:22.940 he did not care and it was quite shocking at the time but but one of the things that i've noticed

00:06:29.100 about american humor and i love american humor i love your stand-up comedies are great ours we

00:06:34.440 it's kind of the difference between heavy rock and jazz piano jazz piano is english because it's

00:06:41.420 it's more subtle it's more subtle it's the notes you don't play that's where the humor comes in

00:06:46.380 yes whereas americans you like your power chords you know it's a hammer but i think that i like the

00:06:52.700 the subtlety of both you know when when you could um i i like telling a joke where i'm i just i the

00:06:59.260 best thing for me when i'm doing stuff is like it's let the audience go i'm gonna i just want

00:07:03.560 to get this out of my way first to get the joke in you know i go like you know it's good to be

00:07:06.700 back in california but like i had to move because you know i got little kids and it's dangerous to

00:07:11.320 have kids in public school you know california you know in the morning you drop off a girl

00:07:14.720 afternoon you pick up a boy so you just kind of get to it and then you know the um the subtleties

00:07:21.120 of it uh and again in the same way you know you just you get them off balance as best you can but

00:07:27.040 i'm definitely influenced by that english humor and the way that you could it's it's i think

00:07:32.000 hopefully it's a good combination of both and stand-up is particularly just like jazz which

00:07:36.820 you guys stole from america and uh stand-up comedy i believe um you know it originated i guess you

00:07:43.700 would call mark twain was original stand-up humorist and uh he would charge a dollar because

00:07:48.960 he also would he would get rich and go broke and then you know he um uh there was you know

00:07:53.740 ulysses s grant had cancer was dying and like you know back then they didn't give money to

00:07:58.040 the former president so he helped him pen his auto his autobiography so he could make money for

00:08:03.280 his wife pay for the farm blah blah blah and then he would go blow all his money come back and then

00:08:07.920 he'd get money again by performing like a town hall or something or a library i don't know if

00:08:14.540 there was a librarian just making that up but he would charge a dollar to talk about faraway lands

00:08:19.820 like hawaii yeah no idea i'll have the half over there you gotta take several weeks to get out

00:08:25.600 there but now like you guys can fly wherever you want and do the things so so for me the nice um

00:08:31.320 joke that i could relate to was based on something really happened was it's really fun it was um

00:08:36.400 really fun listen to me but i was in vegas i was playing vegas and you know the um mgm grand which

00:08:42.220 a good gig on the strip that's a good one um and uh i had went out to lunch with the guys the the

00:08:48.780 band i'm working with and the mexican waiter was really nervous and i said uh you know are you okay

00:08:56.300 and he said mr snyder there is a nervous because i know her legally so i i worry that the the ice

00:09:05.020 who can come take to take me back to mexico and i felt terrible you know and um you know these are 0.94

00:09:10.940 the guys we want here in this country people working hard then he completely fucked up our 0.91

00:09:15.800 order and i was like get this guy you know you can't fuck up lunch that's the most important 0.96

00:09:20.640 meal of the day you know what i'm saying you can fuck up breakfast dinner as soon as i got the 0.89

00:09:24.580 check i called ice and at table 47 gotta get over here but it's um but i like it because it just 0.95

00:09:30.960 plants a little seed in there you know and people can feel either way they want but i'm not you

00:09:35.840 can't lecture them about stuff and that's the i would say american comedy now we have to be careful

00:09:41.860 that it you know we've come out of that covid tyranny and we want to you know i think to you

00:09:49.160 know which would the best for me the best part of peter cook dudley moore was the silly you know 0.86

00:09:53.940 the best money pot they would just the silliest king as cleese john cleese would say but they

00:09:59.220 know the one-legged tarzan i mean that peter cook and dudley moore sketch it doesn't get any better

00:10:05.040 than that you know no he's auditioning for the role of tarzan he's got one leg

00:10:09.040 it's just you know it shook everything up so you're saying now you fear there's there's a lot

00:10:16.220 of seriousness creeping into comedy and kind of people are you know going very heavy on their

00:10:20.380 opinions i think so and i think the audience is i mean i have to be careful of that too

00:10:24.400 you know because i'm a conservative well i mean i'm a 90s liberal which makes me a right-wing

00:10:29.060 fascist now right we all are no god forbid we stick to those the you know free speech and

00:10:34.580 you know women's rights and things like that crazy stuff um so i have to be careful too that

00:10:39.940 you know i don't fall into that easy trap of just you know throwing slop to the conservative

00:10:46.480 you know masses which is what kind of late night tv was you know the late night tv you can it's

00:10:53.960 there's no individual voices you can replace and go like you know jimmy kimmel could say the same

00:10:58.080 joke as you know seth myers and then you could put like you know you know and then uh you know

00:11:03.140 the other jimmy can so it doesn't the other jimmy so that you can have you can have it's the same

00:11:10.340 thing it's like what is it where's the point is there any individual voices right and it's just

00:11:14.300 it's too easy you never know mcdonald you know saying during the pandemic you know uh easy uh

00:11:19.920 you make uh make make a joke about trump they'll just applaud you know you can do that you know

00:11:25.600 where's the uh you know where's the danger there and i do think it's it's definitely more fun

00:11:32.160 but it is more dangerous you know i mean they they're killing uh there's a violence happening

00:11:40.940 you know and so that's uh we have to have gun checks at comedy shows really yeah yeah but why

00:11:48.960 wouldn't you i mean we were talking not to change you know direction but unfortunately we kind of

00:11:52.680 have to you we were talking before we started about charlie kirk i mean that's one of the

00:11:56.120 things that happens once we last saw you yes and he was a friend of yours charlie was is irreplaceable

00:12:02.440 um charlie was such a uh he i mean i i honestly as a comedian and as a uh humorist and and as a

00:12:13.480 real a cynic i think you have to be cynical in uh uh let me to approach comedy or what's really

00:12:19.580 behind that. So I would get these calls from, from him, uh, from his organization. And then

00:12:24.000 from him saying, you know, we want you to be involved in, you know, turning point. And I was

00:12:28.140 like, what is this 28 year old kid? What is he, what is going to be something behind this? It's

00:12:31.660 always something, you know, whatever. And, um, and I didn't realize like what he had built is

00:12:38.160 this incredible organization of young people. If you want to change the future, or if you want to

00:12:42.780 return the future to some traditional, uh, American values, um, Christian American values, 0.98

00:12:48.840 then then you you know you've got to build an organization to remind people

00:12:52.400 what what what is the potential loss of not maintaining that so i i i've learned um pretty

00:13:00.540 quickly i was still a little um you know i'm still questioning it going i don't know what is it but

00:13:06.960 then i found it to be um really sincere and his his uh his organization and his uh what his quest

00:13:15.700 was, was to keep, um, you know, America, a, uh, a nation under God and, uh, and free. And that was

00:13:23.980 a, um, a tremendous loss. I mean, his, we were supposed to go, cause I said to him, cause it was

00:13:29.200 fun. You show up at a university with Charlie Kirk. I'm telling you, the kids will come up

00:13:33.120 stuff and they ask questions. And I really liked it. There was such a generous thing that he would

00:13:37.880 do. We'd put the microphone down and say, if you disagree with me, come to the front. And he was

00:13:43.340 saying, constantly saying, when the conversation stops, that's when the violence begins. And he

00:13:48.920 was right. You know, the leftists, you know, they can't beat you with debate. They would

00:13:55.720 shout you down. They'd prevent you from speaking. And you know this specifically, you know, they,

00:14:01.140 how dare you disagree with it. And that voice is silenced. So I'm hopeful that that will,

00:14:09.060 uh you know his his organization will continue to inspire young people um we i asked him i said uh

00:14:18.980 i said well i want to i want to go to the craziest place it's here where is that

00:14:23.060 i said we said what they said no i'm gonna go to the craziest university where they'll be like

00:14:27.860 he said well then we'll go to berkeley let's go to berkeley and then i had to go to berkeley

00:14:33.540 without him and there was riots to stop a comedian for talking just a riot literally a riot i'm suing

00:14:41.900 the university of cal berkeley for i don't know what the number will be but more than a dollar i

00:14:47.140 promise you because it's and that was the and thankfully peter bogosian and you know your

00:14:52.880 countryman andrew doyle was kind enough i invited them to come with me to buttress my ignorance and

00:14:57.980 And but there's an interesting thing is about free speech.

00:15:02.240 It isn't just what our lawsuit's about.

00:15:04.840 It's not just the ability for you to speak freely and somebody to stop that.

00:15:08.460 It's also free speech.

00:15:09.940 The other side of that is the the ability for someone to to have the right to the freedom of speech, to hear the speech.

00:15:17.860 And that's the other side. 1.00

00:15:19.140 So I think that's important because the university, they were such assholes. 0.99

00:15:22.460 They insisted, Cal Berkeley Regents and the, you know, 0.98

00:15:27.200 I don't know who was in charge of that over there,

00:15:29.020 whether it was the dean or somebody made the decision.

00:15:30.940 They said, we insist on getting 500 tickets.

00:15:33.320 They would give it to this liberal organization

00:15:35.360 just so that 500 people couldn't come.

00:15:38.080 And then there was 500 empty seats.

00:15:39.980 We could have easily had 2,000 people there.

00:15:42.800 And then they also called people who had tickets,

00:15:45.880 like friends of mine, because I'm from Northern California.

00:15:48.340 Interestingly, that used to be the free speech,

00:15:50.280 that's where free speech on university campus started 1964 um and uh and then they told him

00:15:56.980 oh your tickets are no longer good so then there's really a riot coming in and the police

00:16:01.580 it was just it was just unreal but um um the the idea that you can silence other people just

00:16:10.560 because you disagree i mean that that has to be uh i mean i'm still waiting for the democrats to

00:16:15.600 say that's not good i think you might be waiting for a while you know i mean there's there's some

00:16:22.540 democrats that i think have potential josh shapiro for instance i think so yeah you know

00:16:27.640 he talks about what the democrats used to talk about in the 90s he seems like a decent guy

00:16:32.620 yeah you think you know if the democrats actually put him as and maybe he got a little bit of a

00:16:38.800 headwind he might stand a chance well i think you know if the if americans have proved anything

00:16:42.800 they have no memory of anything. They just move on to the next thing. You know, 25 years after

00:16:50.080 9-11, you got a Muslim mayor and you have like prayer outside, which is, as you guys know, 0.70

00:16:57.280 it's a form of dominance. Conversation may take a turn at this point. So we'll see. I mean, 0.99

00:17:03.660 I'm still buoyant. I mean, I do think that for sure the weak leadership seems to bring about

00:17:11.600 more difficult times i think we're seeing um a reset a global reset and i think you're seeing

00:17:18.800 with uh with donald trump i would just say to the people who um they dismiss him i say you do that

00:17:26.460 at your own peril because it's very uh strategic what he's doing right now the um there is a global

00:17:34.560 reset happening right now.

00:17:35.600 With Venezuela, you know, people worried about

00:17:40.680 the Venezuelans as far as that.

00:17:42.980 They're gonna, you know, these are people

00:17:44.200 that are gonna protest, they're gonna say no, no, no.

00:17:46.240 Here's what you never hear about.

00:17:47.680 They're Catholic. 0.60

00:17:48.840 You never hear this, a Catholic guy jumped on a train 0.98

00:17:51.220 and stabbed nine people today.

00:17:53.160 You never hear that. 0.89

00:17:54.000 You never hear like, a Tibetan monk hijacked an airplane 0.96

00:17:58.800 and flew it into a building. 0.69

00:18:00.740 You know, you don't hear a Chinese woman drove a van 1.00

00:18:03.320 into a Christmas market. 1.00

00:18:04.820 Well, you do.

00:18:05.140 Well, I only buy oxygen.

00:18:06.020 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:06.420 She was looking for...

00:18:07.040 Sorry, did I steal your punchline?

00:18:08.800 She was looking for a parking space.

00:18:11.180 You know what I'm like? 1.00

00:18:11.840 That's a parking space, nigga. 0.81

00:18:13.220 I know, I know. 1.00

00:18:14.660 When I go on Jay Leno,

00:18:15.720 he used to do that to me, too.

00:18:16.840 Hey, figure out the joke.

00:18:17.920 I said, of course you figure out the joke.

00:18:19.140 You're a comedian.

00:18:20.200 Sorry, brother.

00:18:20.840 I apologize.

00:18:21.700 It sounds like being on Jay again.

00:18:24.620 No, but comedians,

00:18:25.780 they know that.

00:18:26.340 They know what a joke is.

00:18:28.140 Most workwear is a cotton blend

00:18:30.160 sewn into the shape of trousers,

00:18:31.800 and they call it functional.

00:18:33.320 It works fine until you actually need to move in it, or it rains, or you reach for a pocket

00:18:38.760 that isn't quite where you needed it to be.

00:18:41.380 True work makes workwear that is actually built around those conditions.

00:18:45.900 The T2 work pant has four-way stretch, so you can bend, kneel, and climb without the

00:18:50.840 fabric fighting you.

00:18:52.160 A water-resistant finish, so a shower doesn't immediately ruin your morning.

00:18:56.440 And nine pockets positioned where trade professionals said they actually needed them, not where

00:19:02.120 someone guessed.

00:19:02.900 It will not surprise you to learn that I am not exactly a man who works with his hands.

00:19:07.940 The closest I get is watching someone else fix my boiler.

00:19:11.300 Very satisfactory.

00:19:12.840 So I'll let the reviewers handle this.

00:19:14.880 Matthew Hobbs says he has never been able to find such comfortable, durable,

00:19:19.140 and great fitting work pants until now.

00:19:21.820 CJR wrote, they fit right the minute I tried them on.

00:19:25.400 And Dan C simply says, well-fitting, hard-wearing, great pocket layout.

00:19:30.000 True Work Workwear has been tested over 10 years by people working in real conditions out on the tools.

00:19:37.060 The work doesn't stop just because the weather changes.

00:19:58.500 we had Jalen on the show actually

00:20:01.800 oh you did

00:20:02.120 yeah a while ago

00:20:02.780 we recorded in his car garage

00:20:04.560 oh fantastic

00:20:05.820 yeah yeah it was fun

00:20:06.720 he's an incredible guy

00:20:08.200 he's such a nice guy

00:20:09.300 he was the best comedian of his generation

00:20:11.220 and he was also really helpful

00:20:12.640 he was like

00:20:13.520 he would tell you guys like

00:20:14.680 hey how much time you got

00:20:15.840 I remember like you know

00:20:16.720 in the 80s

00:20:17.340 I said I got about 8 minutes

00:20:18.580 good

00:20:18.880 yeah I'm glad you 8 minutes

00:20:19.940 most comedians add

00:20:21.060 I got 2 hours

00:20:22.100 who wants to hear 2 hours of comedy material

00:20:24.660 if you don't have 5 minutes to kill

00:20:26.660 anytime everywhere you go 0.80

00:20:27.760 you got nothing

00:20:28.500 and he was right

00:20:29.780 all you need to become a star in LA is 20 minutes

00:20:32.420 20 minutes to become a star

00:20:33.360 and it's true, and it was just like

00:20:35.560 it seemed like a long time when you were 20

00:20:37.340 but by the time I was 24, all I had was 20 minutes

00:20:39.880 it was the most I ever had

00:20:40.780 at that time, and the only other guys who had 20 minutes

00:20:43.780 was like Chris Rock, David Spade

00:20:45.620 or maybe Chris Rock had 30, but David Spade

00:20:47.820 Adam Sandler and me, we all got on

00:20:49.360 that was the beginning

00:20:50.300 you only need 20 minutes to become a star

00:20:52.420 but he was great, all those guys would be helpful

00:20:55.960 the greats

00:20:57.120 Like, um, you know, uh, you know, Jerry Seinfeld, one of the greatest, uh, comedians we've ever had,

00:21:04.000 just the structure. If you look at it, it looks, you could build a house on the way he forms jokes,

00:21:08.520 you know? And he would say to us young comedians, because back then they're like in the early 80s,

00:21:13.260 there were like bars that they would turn into comedy clubs and 120 seats. You know,

00:21:17.460 if you do enough shows, it might go like 10,000 bucks. It might come off. And that was like,

00:21:22.660 By that time, by 84, I think he'd done, or 83, he'd done like 42 Tonight Shows.

00:21:29.680 Wow.

00:21:30.100 42 five-minute spots.

00:21:32.080 Wow.

00:21:32.640 And then we'd watch him, and the structure of his stuff was so great, you know?

00:21:36.240 And he would just have, like, the simplicity of his thing,

00:21:39.500 which was almost like an English thing. 0.99

00:21:41.580 He would say a little joke like, magic is just to make you feel stupid. 1.00

00:21:45.820 Here's a quarter. 0.99

00:21:47.100 Now it's gone. 1.00

00:21:48.040 You're a jerk. 1.00

00:21:50.960 It's just a wonderful simplicity. 1.00

00:21:52.660 And then after, we'd all hang out, you know, try to get some, you know, some nuggets of wisdom by the master, you know?

00:22:00.580 Did you?

00:22:01.520 Yeah, he said to me, listen, guys, you got to take the swearing out.

00:22:05.140 If you take the swearing out and it's not funny without the swearing, then it's not funny.

00:22:11.420 And I was like, wow, he's right, because we can rely on it too much.

00:22:14.760 And then I shook his hand, you know, and I said, thank you, Jerry.

00:22:17.380 He went to leave, and I went to shake his hand, and he was like, it's the same hand.

00:22:22.660 very funny though because about it literally two years later i got on

00:22:28.080 david letterman and he's such a great guy he just literally is an awesome guy he really

00:22:33.800 appreciates comedy and he chased me out of the improv after i did his set just saw you on um

00:22:39.920 on dave on david letterman said you had balls of iron and he shook my hand i'm a really good

00:22:45.100 set man i used to see young people doing some stuff and then i waited and he went to go shake

00:22:49.680 my hand again. I was like, that's the same. I didn't say, but I wanted to, you know, but he's,

00:22:55.700 he's one of the masters. And it's really frustrating to see like a guy who's still

00:22:59.600 performing at a very high level. And like, there would be protesters. It's like, come on. Can't

00:23:06.580 you, isn't it the, isn't the LBGTQ plus for Hamas protested? You have to protest Jerry Seinfeld,

00:23:12.960 one of the greatest comedians who, who still doesn't have to do it, but he's still doing it

00:23:16.640 because he loves it so that's kind of a bummer so we have that at the same time but I do think that

00:23:22.280 uh this friction and this stuff I think the the woke kind of thing is collapsing I think people

00:23:27.680 are exposed to enough of it so hopefully it'll usher in something new I don't know what the

00:23:31.920 new thing is but you know it's it's been um it's been an interesting time I would say the most

00:23:38.560 interesting time in my lifetime for comedy because there were people yelling at you people like get

00:23:44.340 Paying money to yell at you.

00:23:46.300 It was during COVID, too, because COVID was really cool

00:23:49.080 because we have a republic over here.

00:23:50.920 I strongly suggest you guys consider it.

00:23:53.660 You break it.

00:23:54.520 Different states, you know, that way the states would have different rules.

00:23:57.180 A lot of the states went along with it.

00:23:58.720 But some states hung in there, you know.

00:24:00.860 So I would go to a place and they would perform and it'd be like, you know,

00:24:04.060 you'd have to have, you know, somebody sitting not across from you or something.

00:24:07.220 So they'd have to comedy club.

00:24:08.880 And so I would just perform in those places until those places closed down.

00:24:12.420 And then, believe it or not, it wasn't Americans, the reason that we got out of COVID, it wasn't the Americans that figured out the protesting again.

00:24:20.720 It was the Canadians. 1.00

00:24:22.320 The Canadian truckers reminded Americans about protesting, and a good protesting, protesting against actual tyranny, not this fake tyranny that these no-kings-paid protesters are, the useful idiots. 0.99

00:24:35.160 But real protest against tyranny, which is what the COVID lockdowns were. 0.99

00:24:38.700 And the truckers that went there, what did they do?

00:24:42.420 they literally closed their bank accounts.

00:24:46.500 And, you know, that seemed to be, you know,

00:24:51.080 if that's not authoritarian and calling them terrorists,

00:24:57.760 that's pretty bad, you know?

00:24:59.660 So, but what it did though,

00:25:00.920 was it woke people up here in America to it, 0.98

00:25:02.740 like enough of this crap, which was good. 0.51

00:25:04.760 So whether people like the COVID vaccine or not, 0.98

00:25:09.660 I mean, obviously it has some problems and stuff.

00:25:11.520 It's not a vaccine.

00:25:12.280 It's according to Robert Malone, who invented the or co-invented the therapy.

00:25:17.200 It's a it's an experimental gene therapy.

00:25:19.340 So, you know, forcing everybody to take an experimental gene therapy is not good.

00:25:23.500 But what it did, though, Thomas Cahill, who was the designer of it, who was asked by the

00:25:28.560 Trump administration, he's a genius.

00:25:29.860 You got to meet Thomas Cahill.

00:25:31.280 And he what it did was it gave an off ramp like, hey, we got something we can open up

00:25:36.340 society now.

00:25:37.240 Here we go.

00:25:37.800 We got we got the jab.

00:25:39.240 Let's go. 0.85

00:25:40.160 So that that gave an off ramp.

00:25:41.520 to it so and i don't know if people will um it's interesting how the next what is the next attempt

00:25:49.000 to tyranny but they've backed off this zero carbon initiative you don't hear about it anymore right

00:25:55.400 i mean you do in our country yeah well the the it's actually an interesting situation because

00:25:59.680 in the uk the only people who still believe in it are the government no one else believes in it

00:26:05.300 but the government really really believe in it and actually the worse things get the more they

00:26:09.100 believe in it so they're like oh okay this war in iran is going to cause global price oil prices

00:26:15.420 to spike and stay up for god knows how many months yeah that shows you we can't be relying on fossil

00:26:22.020 fuels oh yeah yeah exactly except we still have to be relying on fossil no it'll impoverish the

00:26:27.980 whole planet if you want to go to have star mass starvation right away go off fossil fuels right

00:26:31.540 but what trump is doing with president trump and you know with is that global reset if you can

00:26:36.940 control um the oil it's not about having all of it but if you can control it and then all of a

00:26:42.580 sudden china has to work with you because unfortunately what you really had was you

00:26:46.980 can have all the sanctions against russia and china that you want you know but but if they're

00:26:51.600 able to get oil from iran and venezuela then they can circumvent all these problems but if america

00:26:57.960 has got a nice healthy stranglehold on iran and venezuela then the chinese will have to uh to 0.53

00:27:05.800 work with us in a way that they don't want to, but they'll have to now. So I think in that way, 1.00

00:27:10.740 it is, you know, the idea that we, it's actually strong men make the world. I guess there's a

00:27:17.980 revulsion from it, from the 20th century experience of World War II, that anytime there's a strong man

00:27:22.440 that comes up, it's like authoritarianism comes. I would just say we should be aware that when weak

00:27:26.980 weakness happens, that's when authoritarian comes up as we witness under COVID.

00:27:31.760 You know, it's so funny when you talk to Venezuelans

00:27:34.660 about what happened in Venezuela,

00:27:36.580 because you hear people going,

00:27:37.880 oh, this is a coup, this is terrible. 0.99

00:27:39.540 You talk to a Venezuelan, they're like, 1.00

00:27:41.000 I know, I like it.

00:27:42.800 Be very good.

00:27:43.740 No, no, no, we not like Maduro, bye-bye.

00:27:46.000 Well, that's what you have to,

00:27:46.880 we have to weigh like what, how much freedom,

00:27:50.840 if you want complete freedom, it's chaos.

00:27:54.380 And so we'd rather have more chaos

00:27:57.320 than if you want complete control,

00:27:59.480 then you'd have tyranny or something.

00:28:01.180 But then you have something that was so chaotic and so out of control, like if you look at El Salvador, that was just, you know, the murder capital, the kidnapping capital, kids couldn't go to school, and it was just, you know, you couldn't open up a little stand and sell food without being somebody coming in.

00:28:17.560 so uh you know bukele has changed that country he calls himself the coolest dictator and i would

00:28:23.620 just go well how much freedom if it's destroying your society uh why are you willing to give up

00:28:30.080 for some control and that's that's the gaze you know that's the that's what we're that's kind of

00:28:37.140 what we're looking at but to go back to comedy it's a very interesting time because we're talking

00:28:42.180 about the woke

00:28:44.260 and the backlash and

00:28:45.780 trying to silence voices. But hasn't that

00:28:48.100 always been the case? I mean, take Bill Hicks.

00:28:50.160 I mean, Bill Hicks used to go to the Deep South

00:28:51.980 and do jokes about Christianity,

00:28:54.060 laughing about Christianity

00:28:55.820 when it wasn't cool, when it 0.96

00:28:57.780 literally, you know, could have

00:28:59.980 endangered your life. I don't know

00:29:02.140 about that. I don't know.

00:29:04.020 I don't think it would have. I mean, I think it would have

00:29:05.840 protesters, just like there was protesters when

00:29:08.040 The Life of Brian came out, because it just

00:29:10.040 happened to be the

00:29:11.360 because it had to do with Christianity at all.

00:29:16.120 But I thought that was consistently rated

00:29:18.740 the greatest British comedy of all time.

00:29:21.660 And it was hilarious.

00:29:22.460 But as John Cleese and Michael Palin would say,

00:29:26.840 they didn't change one word of the Sermon on the Mount.

00:29:30.340 But it's just the fact that what's funny

00:29:32.500 is that somebody couldn't hear it.

00:29:34.180 I think he said, blessed are the cheese makers.

00:29:37.480 That's funny to have an open mind to that.

00:29:40.260 But I don't believe that even Bill Hickson that day was life was endangered.

00:29:44.820 I think he had people who were angry at him, but not in the same way like you'll have as

00:29:48.680 Ayaan Hirsi Ali says, you know, you can have the Book of Mormon, but let's see you guys

00:29:53.180 write the Book of Muhammad and see how long that stays open.

00:29:56.220 I'll pass on that one.

00:29:57.000 Thank you.

00:29:58.260 But isn't the cultural fear?

00:30:00.060 Of course.

00:30:00.620 The cultural fear of that, you can't even say it without thinking, oh, yeah, you could

00:30:04.700 never do that. 1.00

00:30:05.360 Well, Jimmy Carr has a great joke about this, which is, you know, a lot of Christians complain

00:30:08.920 that you make fun of Christians,

00:30:10.300 but you don't make fun of Islam. 1.00

00:30:11.500 And he's like, well, stop blowing shit up. 0.99

00:30:14.260 You know, then I'll not make fun of Christians either. 1.00

00:30:17.860 That's so perfect. 1.00

00:30:18.980 But I think, though, with this challenge,

00:30:21.120 I think it's good because what you're seeing now

00:30:23.100 in the United States and what I'm talking about now

00:30:24.960 in states, which I think is you have to challenge them

00:30:27.360 and push them.

00:30:28.240 Otherwise, it's not fun.

00:30:29.600 You've got to be some kind of contrarian.

00:30:31.500 So it's nice talking about the interesting thing 1.00

00:30:34.420 that's happening is women, like white liberal women. 0.99

00:30:37.720 Here we go.

00:30:38.920 I love the way you said that. 1.00

00:30:40.840 It's women. 1.00

00:30:41.540 White, liberal women. 1.00

00:30:42.940 There we go. 1.00

00:30:43.760 It's nothing to do with that.

00:30:44.620 I'm divorced now. 1.00

00:30:45.640 It's just women. 1.00

00:30:46.900 No, it's women. 1.00

00:30:49.260 No, but it's that they were doing things that are against their best interest, putting themselves 0.84

00:30:54.240 in danger, whereas, you know, men, you know, traditionally, that's what they do.

00:30:59.940 And men have that.

00:31:01.000 They're used to it.

00:31:01.860 Every guy, by the time they're a teenager, you know, you meet another guy at some point.

00:31:05.220 still, you go, you still think

00:31:07.840 a little bit, like, if I have to kick this 1.00

00:31:09.800 guy's ass in me, could I? I mean, is he going to beat my ass? 1.00

00:31:12.020 You know, if he has cauliflower ears, you go, 1.00

00:31:13.720 okay, this guy doesn't care about his face. I'm going to leave him

00:31:15.840 alone. This is a part of his face. He doesn't, he's not,

00:31:17.780 doesn't have a problem with looking messed up. 1.00

00:31:19.840 And so, but women don't have that. So I was saying, that's why 1.00

00:31:21.820 women put themselves in 0.99

00:31:23.740 a sense of danger that they're not 1.00

00:31:25.780 used to. That's what happened in,

00:31:27.360 you know, in Minnesota, you know, and 1.00

00:31:29.880 and it's that women could be 1.00

00:31:31.740 emotionally manipulated 0.91

00:31:32.880 to do something that puts them in danger

00:31:36.600 because for the cause,

00:31:38.240 that manipulation,

00:31:39.360 that emotional manipulation, 0.69

00:31:40.600 like this woman wasn't even a lesbian.

00:31:43.160 She was like, she was straight. 0.66

00:31:44.980 For the cause, 0.67

00:31:46.740 she became, you know, into this,

00:31:48.600 she got roped into this, 0.99

00:31:49.860 become a lesbian during, 0.99

00:31:50.980 you know, for the cause.

00:31:51.660 And I was like, 1.00

00:31:52.340 that's the difference between men and women. 1.00

00:31:53.600 I don't care what the cause is. 1.00

00:31:55.400 I'm not taking a dick up my ass. 1.00

00:31:58.000 Pretty much. 1.00

00:31:58.880 So, but again,

00:32:00.320 but what I try to build to the point 1.00

00:32:02.060 about how women could be emotionally manipulated. 1.00

00:32:04.160 And I said, you know, 85% of white liberal women 1.00

00:32:06.460 voted for Kamala Harris to save democracy, 1.00

00:32:08.460 even though Kamala Harris wasn't even put in democratically.

00:32:11.200 They just, you know, they just took Joe Biden out.

00:32:14.000 You know, Joe Biden, basically a corpse

00:32:16.500 attached to a car battery.

00:32:18.460 You know, the Democrats still don't admit to

00:32:20.900 that his brain wasn't functioning.

00:32:22.520 And they just put Kamala in to save the democracy.

00:32:24.840 And so the joke is, you know,

00:32:26.080 we're placing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris 1.00

00:32:30.060 as like changing your shirt because you shit your pants. 0.99

00:32:31.760 And then everybody feels like they got their money's worth. 0.85

00:32:38.100 But you know what?

00:32:39.140 The point about Bill Hicks is interesting, though,

00:32:40.780 because the threat side I don't know about,

00:32:42.460 but you do know, you must know this,

00:32:43.860 that his final letterman appearance was canned.

00:32:46.580 They didn't publish it until after he passed away

00:32:49.880 because it was too controversial.

00:32:52.360 At that time, yeah, it was too controversial.

00:32:54.500 You're right.

00:32:54.980 So there was a, yeah, I think it was a stricter time.

00:32:59.160 I think that's obviously a mistake,

00:33:04.560 but I don't think it's the same kind of jeopardy

00:33:06.520 as like Charlie Hedboe, you know?

00:33:08.800 So I think the, but anytime you go up against,

00:33:13.200 we have to go up against the societal,

00:33:16.300 whatever the constricts are.

00:33:18.460 We have to be contrarians,

00:33:19.600 otherwise we're not doing our job.

00:33:21.080 But it is, it can be dangerous as far as,

00:33:24.220 I mean, I have to have gun checks at shows,

00:33:25.940 and it's dangerous to leftists, you know?

00:33:27.960 So, I mean, it's nuts to me.

00:33:31.320 I mean, not nuts that we have guns in America.

00:33:33.120 I'm all for it.

00:33:34.740 You know, I didn't used to be, but now I understand.

00:33:37.300 Do you have the audience lock their phones in a pouch?

00:33:40.160 I don't do that because I don't think it matters anymore.

00:33:43.520 I used to think they could get canceled,

00:33:44.900 but once they've tried to cancel you so many times

00:33:46.600 and you survive, you're like,

00:33:48.020 what can they do to me at this point, you know?

00:33:49.420 Yeah.

00:33:50.020 And also, if they want to do it, I mean,

00:33:51.900 I think it's kind of a childish...

00:33:53.900 I do think, though, for the, you know,

00:33:55.220 the guys who are making like you know 40 million dollars on netflix they don't want to get their

00:33:58.840 jokes out too early i get that but at this point i don't think it's um i used to do that but it's 0.93

00:34:05.420 expensive yeah you got to bring the pouches and it's also pain in the ass for them the audience 0.95

00:34:09.400 like let them be adults if they want to go on their phone people are addicted to their phones

00:34:13.400 no no the reason i bring it up is um and it's something i think about with podcasting now as

00:34:18.420 well because what happened was you had the mainstream media which basically thought that

00:34:22.380 everyone in the world had the attention span of a mosquito right and they whittled the sound bite

00:34:28.620 down to like this right and then the opposite is you guys and then the podcast came along went

00:34:32.820 but now what's happening is and we've even had had guests who shall remain nameless who'll go like

00:34:39.400 so was there a clip in that i just go no like with all respect i mean i understand i have clips of

00:34:45.680 mine you have clips of yours going out on things that's totally cool but it changes the the act of

00:34:51.420 making it this changes the thing it does and the same with stand-up i think and it's the same with

00:34:57.440 like you know you're trying our material recording something out of context online all of that that's

00:35:02.160 why i was asking no you're right about that because you know because i do ask at some point um

00:35:07.060 for women to i try to get them to a point where i'm manipulating you know subverting them to you

00:35:14.220 know it's like because they're emotionally manipulate that you can manipulate you know

00:35:19.440 So I try to get their empathy and go, you know, it's because you're so, you know, you have so much empathy and compassion.

00:35:25.200 That's why you raise children.

00:35:26.160 That's why there's so many of us.

00:35:27.020 You're incredible.

00:35:27.620 But then I get to the point where you can be manipulated to use this empathy for people who don't deserve it.

00:35:32.800 And then I ask them to reconsider their right to vote.

00:35:38.860 But then I say, no, no, no, there's still plenty of things to vote for.

00:35:41.940 You can still vote.

00:35:42.500 I'm not saying you can't vote.

00:35:43.900 I'm just saying just not for the important things.

00:35:45.520 But there's still plenty of things.

00:35:47.060 You can still vote for Dancing with the Stars.

00:35:48.740 America's got talent

00:35:49.780 Britain's got talent

00:35:51.940 whatever

00:35:52.180 but

00:35:53.040 the idea is

00:35:54.540 it's just to challenge them

00:35:55.660 a little bit

00:35:56.180 and try to get them off

00:35:57.020 and then

00:35:57.320 you know

00:35:57.840 you take some ideas

00:35:59.320 and then

00:35:59.860 you know

00:36:00.520 it's the ideas

00:36:01.400 to poke them a little bit

00:36:02.380 and see where they go 0.99

00:36:03.000 and so a lot of the women agree

00:36:04.220 a lot of the women

00:36:05.280 not all of them

00:36:05.900 a lot of them agree

00:36:06.780 and then some people complain

00:36:08.320 but I think it's

00:36:09.780 I think it should be

00:36:11.460 a well constructed

00:36:12.380 humorous argument

00:36:13.680 yeah

00:36:14.540 and otherwise

00:36:15.300 it's not fun

00:36:16.440 yeah

00:36:16.880 so then it's nice

00:36:17.860 that they agree

00:36:18.340 sometimes I'll screw up sometimes I I did not do my job by getting in there because it's still kind

00:36:23.000 of new and then you go like you know and then it's like I gotta kind of get them back you know 0.99

00:36:27.880 yeah but it's um it's a good challenge and then you can wait how do you get a woman back once 0.92

00:36:33.060 you've pissed her off because I haven't worked that one out my entire life I'm proof of that

00:36:38.680 yeah you can't very painful but it um it's fun though because you know there's some really

00:36:46.780 interesting intellectuals and um like you know jordan peterson spent such a gift to the to the

00:36:52.780 male spirit really and he had this wonderful thing that i talk about now on stage it's great because

00:36:58.360 i'm not going to have to interfere with his him doing stand-up but i can uh you know you talk to

00:37:03.480 him and uh i'll tell you oh yeah well let me tell you the women um that we have today we have uh 1.00

00:37:09.540 they're all survivors of the barbarian hordes that came in and they all the barbarians would 0.99

00:37:15.800 come into the new armies. They kill all the men, cut their heads off. And they say, okay, 1.00

00:37:19.880 we're going to cut your heads off or you want to come with us. And the loyal women 1.00

00:37:23.600 got all their heads cut off. They stayed and died next to their husband. But the ones, 0.99

00:37:29.300 but the ones who said, I've always been interested in seeing Germany. Let's go. 0.53

00:37:35.480 Those are the ones that survived. So all, and I said, it's all the women here tonight in this 0.95

00:37:40.620 audience you are the survivors you are the ones who left with the new husbands and then you know 1.00

00:37:46.920 and what was too far it was when i'd say to them uh every woman in here is a traitor

00:37:50.960 and i was like that wasn't too much but you have to try that but then and i go um but it's it's fun

00:37:58.220 to uh and then i have them but then my favorite things i tell the audience to look at it i don't

00:38:03.000 want you to look at the guy guys i want you to look at the woman you're with right now just look

00:38:06.680 or tell her, I know what you're capable of.

00:38:10.860 But anyway, I don't know.

00:38:12.240 I mean, I hope it doesn't come off like it's angry,

00:38:14.540 but it's definitely angry.

00:38:17.400 But it's fun, and I hope it's a challenge

00:38:21.560 and to try to do things that are interesting.

00:38:24.280 It's April, which means the days are getting longer,

00:38:26.680 the weather is convincingly pleasant,

00:38:28.620 and I am still the person who gets to two in the afternoon

00:38:31.140 and realizes the only thing I've consumed

00:38:33.300 since waking up is coffee.

00:38:34.960 one cup, maybe two if I'm feeling cheeky. That is not a nutrition strategy, that is, as my mother

00:38:40.480 likes to say, a personality flaw. So I've kept your Black Edition around specifically to stop 1.00

00:38:45.820 myself from doing that. On the days when getting out the door is the entire priority, I grab a 0.98

00:38:50.700 Black Edition ready-to-drink complete meal, 35 grams of protein, 7 grams of fiber, 27 essential

00:38:56.760 vitamins and minerals, no artificial sweeteners, gluten-free and under $5, which is cheaper than

00:39:02.540 the coffee that is actively making things worse. My go-to is the chocolate flavor and I'd drink it

00:39:07.840 even if they weren't paying me to say that. Then when I'm home and want something more substantial

00:39:12.720 I use the black edition powder. Shake it with water, blend it with milk and ice if you want

00:39:18.520 the full thing. 40 grams of protein, same complete nutrition, just more control over how it comes

00:39:24.940 together. The RTD and powder together have basically become my insurance against days that

00:39:30.600 don't go how I planned, which

00:39:32.640 is most of them. For a limited time,

00:39:49.920 But that's

00:39:50.880 the beauty of stand-up comedy.

00:39:52.680 I was watching a few months ago, actually,

00:39:54.760 Richard Pryor's Live at the Sunset Strip.

00:39:56.880 Unbelievable. Recorded in 1982

00:39:59.100 in the red suit

00:40:00.180 in the famous red suit

00:40:01.180 and he was

00:40:02.140 no I think it was earlier

00:40:02.960 than that one

00:40:03.780 was it

00:40:04.140 Live on the Sunset Strip

00:40:05.400 I think his first one

00:40:06.440 was Richard Pryor Live

00:40:07.360 and it was the late 70s

00:40:08.400 it was in the Long Beach

00:40:09.220 still

00:40:10.140 as much as comedy's

00:40:11.360 progressed since then

00:40:12.280 it's still

00:40:13.940 basically the same guy

00:40:15.000 they had a guy

00:40:16.020 standing by the stage

00:40:16.980 you know it's interesting

00:40:17.840 that first one

00:40:18.500 where he had the red sweating

00:40:19.640 and the thing

00:40:20.280 I'm sure of all kinds of cocaine

00:40:21.660 coming through

00:40:22.140 but

00:40:22.960 that was still

00:40:25.660 we're still doing

00:40:26.200 the same kind of thing

00:40:27.140 we're still

00:40:27.440 he was the guy

00:40:28.760 the statue of david we're all cheating but what the other one that live in the sunset strip that

00:40:32.480 maybe that was 1982 it was yeah that's the second one yeah and he was talking about going to prison

00:40:37.140 and he was saying about you know i've met uh you know you've met muslims but in prison they've got

00:40:41.960 these double muslims and he did a bit about islamic fundamentalists in 1982 in jail and you're going 0.97

00:40:50.840 this you know this is what comedy is and should be that's why he was the greatest double muslims 0.80

00:40:57.300 The greatest comedy performer ever, for sure.

00:40:59.460 I got to meet him once when he was doing Donahue.

00:41:03.800 This was like 19, I think, 91.

00:41:09.260 That's when Phil Donahue before Oprah.

00:41:11.940 And they said, you know, Richard Pryor's in the building.

00:41:13.860 I said, what?

00:41:14.840 Pryor?

00:41:15.700 Richard Pryor's in the building?

00:41:16.620 Where is he?

00:41:17.340 He said, he's done Donahue.

00:41:18.060 He said, go, you know.

00:41:19.820 And I had, I said, go get a comedy album.

00:41:22.700 I said, I can sign something.

00:41:23.740 They didn't get it in time.

00:41:25.040 And I went down.

00:41:26.040 and you know because i was 30 rock is where saturday night live was and i was a writer

00:41:29.960 performer there so like i go anywhere i want so i get the security you know don he's like hey can

00:41:35.020 i go through it's like yeah come on in rob yeah and then uh his dressing room and i said i'm

00:41:39.860 can i get in there and i said yeah come on and then prior was just sitting there himself you know

00:41:46.340 and um and i said you know mr prior that stand that first stand-up performance in long beach

00:41:52.300 that was like the greatest standard we're still stealing from you all these years and he didn't

00:41:56.320 deny it and and i said um that was just incredible and uh i said that's the greatest performance 0.98

00:42:02.620 ever no one's gonna top that and he said to me you should have seen that shit six months later 0.97

00:42:08.900 i'll just start to figure that shit out i believed him yeah because it just grows and grows i'm sure 0.97

00:42:16.520 i would have loved to have seen it six months later but then he did that live in the sunset 0.98

00:42:20.100 which was good didn't have the like the danger of that first one you know and so that that first

00:42:25.760 one he'd make fun of white people was extremely funny it was long beach most of the people at the 0.99

00:42:30.120 show are white people and he said white people some white people don't play that shit like 1.00

00:42:34.000 all right cut the shit you know and there's like and that's the quintessential black impersonation 0.99

00:42:40.000 of a white guy and i like to do impressions of black people even though it's not uh de riguer 0.99

00:42:45.740 anymore it's uh it's not allowed but i would say like my favorite you know people who recognize

00:42:51.820 me it's because people come up to you because they because i'm the same size as i am on tv 0.99

00:42:58.540 my favorite black women come up to me say black women are different than other people and they 0.99

00:43:01.900 come up because black women make you prove who you are like tell me why i know you tell me why 1.00

00:43:10.060 I know you. 1.00

00:43:12.640 I'm a comedian.

00:43:13.960 That ain't it.

00:43:14.760 Tell me why.

00:43:16.300 So that's kind of fun.

00:43:18.440 And then.

00:43:18.960 So what do you say?

00:43:20.220 I said, I'm a comedian.

00:43:21.260 That ain't it.

00:43:21.900 I went like, no, no, no.

00:43:22.740 I am a comedian.

00:43:23.640 Okay.

00:43:25.200 So it's.

00:43:26.400 But I just think it's like.

00:43:28.200 We got to make fun of everybody.

00:43:29.800 There's one thing.

00:43:30.540 My favorite thing is a good laugh in the audience.

00:43:32.080 Because I talk about being.

00:43:33.680 You know, my mom's Filipino.

00:43:34.840 My dad.

00:43:35.660 I don't get into that too much.

00:43:36.600 But I talk about being Asian.

00:43:37.880 And be.

00:43:38.400 You know, it's a system of white supremacy.

00:43:40.060 see, you know, we're surprised. I said, how come Asians are making more money then? You never hear

00:43:45.040 about it because Asians don't want you to know. Asians are, no, let the black and white people 0.99

00:43:49.460 kill each other. We're going to hang over here. We stay over here in the suburbs. And, um, but I 1.00

00:43:55.060 said, you know, that's what I talk about for what is, you know, for years saying about like, we got

00:43:59.560 to get rid of diversity, equity, inclusion. If you want to have the best society, we need the best

00:44:03.280 at each position. So, you know, that's why you have, you don't see Filipino Jews like me in

00:44:07.220 professional sports because you want to win right right you want to win right and um you see

00:44:12.840 filipinos we're good nurses that's what we do you know we're good at that and usually there's a

00:44:19.100 filipino in the audience and usually they work at a hospital if they don't that's when i say you

00:44:22.860 know you're not living up to your potential and i said and it was based on a true story i said i'm 0.88

00:44:28.620 sorry i don't want a seven foot black guy it's not racist but i don't want a seven foot black 1.00

00:44:31.940 guy trying to take blood out of my arm you know it's all like shit come on bitch what's wrong 1.00

00:44:37.080 with you vein come on shit get out of there let me see that vein dude your finger's as big as my 1.00

00:44:44.540 dick can you go find an asian person to finish this shit but everybody kind of they can relate 1.00

00:44:50.920 to that and it's it's fun and hopefully disarming and do you know i miss that so much we were 0.99

00:44:56.720 talking with with the young guys that work with us as well it's just that i miss that world where

00:45:01.320 people made fun of each other and it was cool because we made fun of everybody and everybody

00:45:06.060 made fun of everybody and everyone knew that it wasn't malicious yes no no mal intent right that's

00:45:12.660 the key that's why adam sandler's film is so important he makes fun of people but there's not

00:45:16.080 he's not trying to hurt anybody but i remember there used to be this bookstore called b dalton

00:45:20.220 and right by the cash register there'd be these rows of comic of just books comedy books simple

00:45:26.480 jokes that make fun of every nationality it's like italian joke book polis joke book iris joke

00:45:32.080 book and i just remember you know before you'd buy it you'd look before you whatever things you're

00:45:36.280 gonna buy you'd look up the italian one how do you tell me an italian airline it's the one with

00:45:40.740 the hair under the wings you know and but that was uh acceptable and then i i'd like to go back 0.98

00:45:47.660 to that but i think we've been um beaten down by the people who had the most um you know as your

00:45:54.200 countryman john cleese said i don't think the ones who most sensitive should be the ones deciding

00:45:59.040 what everybody else gets to listen to and watch you know and he's right about that but it it was

00:46:04.080 a thing but but i think i had a conversation with jerry seinfeld at the 50th anniversary of snl

00:46:10.060 because i i really took umbrage to what he said like those no the woke doesn't stop you from

00:46:14.480 doing comedy what are you talking about i don't believe it and i said no they do that you cancel

00:46:18.820 them and they try to get you to not be on and he said no that's not what i meant i meant you just

00:46:23.160 have to work harder to get around to get to your joke he didn't say that in that interview but but

00:46:28.240 um i think it is i do think you have more opportunity for it it's just you don't want 0.99

00:46:33.680 to get you know shot by a crazy fucking leftist you know that that takes things too seriously and 0.98

00:46:41.580 that that was the problem of like you know for you know for charlie kirk was like these people 0.99

00:46:47.280 are accused of racism without any actual racism. He was just asking young people to ask more from

00:46:55.180 themselves and to think for themselves, as opposed to being, you know, what's happening

00:46:59.380 at the universities and academia is they're not teaching you to think critically. They're just

00:47:03.340 cranking out advocates to an illiberal agenda that doesn't have the best interests of these

00:47:10.980 young people. So it was, um, as that's happening, I am, um, you know, we have to be positive and we

00:47:18.340 have to, uh, uh, to, to move, move this country forward. Um, and that's, um, that's my job.

00:47:27.620 And I know the best way to do that is with jokes. If I write a good joke, I know making the country

00:47:33.180 better. Like this is, um, California is a great place because you have a lot of liberals here

00:47:38.860 And the conservatives, they don't get that.

00:47:40.980 I come up and tonight it's really fun because I go, hey, it's so beautiful in California.

00:47:44.740 I get it.

00:47:45.480 I get it.

00:47:46.200 It doesn't matter that your votes don't count.

00:47:48.220 It doesn't matter because it's so beautiful.

00:47:49.900 It's so beautiful in California. 1.00

00:47:51.260 Maybe women do have dicks. 1.00

00:47:52.720 It's so beautiful. 1.00

00:47:55.120 You know what?

00:47:55.900 It's how we feel every time we come here.

00:47:57.900 Because, you know, the most common thing Francis and I say to each other when we arrive in

00:48:01.780 California, spend a couple of days soaking the sun, will I see something in the news

00:48:05.900 over another side of the world? 0.99

00:48:07.280 And I just go, Francis, do you give a shit about what's happening? 0.99

00:48:10.420 He's like, no. 0.99

00:48:11.260 And I'm like, I don't either.

00:48:12.800 It's hard.

00:48:13.460 It's hard to care because it's so perfect.

00:48:15.440 But that said, you know, every time we've been coming here for years now,

00:48:19.700 it gets like less populated.

00:48:21.740 I mean, people are leaving.

00:48:24.000 I know. 0.99

00:48:24.480 They fucking ruined paradise, man. 1.00

00:48:26.100 They did. 1.00

00:48:26.640 Well, they have this. 0.96

00:48:27.520 People who stay here go, it's so fucking beautiful. 0.89

00:48:29.480 I got enough money. 0.88

00:48:30.440 I'll just eke it out.

00:48:31.380 They want to tax you per mile on your car.

00:48:34.380 The Democrats, because you have a super majority of Democrats, so they don't want to fix any real problems like homelessness.

00:48:40.460 And as I've said, you know, publicly, I said, no, look, maybe I'm looking at this wrong.

00:48:45.180 I mean, California either has a huge homeless problem or a gigantic camping success story.

00:48:51.440 Maybe it's both. I don't know. But they want it.

00:48:54.580 They'll stay here no matter what, because it is so beautiful.

00:48:57.700 Like, I'm almost retired. The kids are here.

00:49:00.080 But the grievance tax, the billionaire tax, the wealth tax, or the what about me tax?

00:49:05.840 Why my money, my hopes, my dreams?

00:49:08.040 It's grievance.

00:49:08.940 And instead of fixing things, instead of fixing the homeless situation, you know, when Chairman

00:49:14.240 Zeev came over from China, they got rid of the homeless in San Francisco in one day.

00:49:20.200 But then it's like, ah, let them come back. 1.00

00:49:21.740 Because I do think that it's disruptive.

00:49:23.380 And I think in that point, the disruptiveness is necessary to cause enough strife.

00:49:29.220 but california they keep creeping up in these incremental creep to where like i tell this joke

00:49:36.900 and i gotta tell you it doesn't get as big a laugh here because it hits a nerve and the joke is

00:49:42.380 pretty um i think i'm giving away all my jokes here this one go out for a few weeks so you're

00:49:47.740 good you're good tonight and we'll go well the thing is i said i remember seriously like my

00:49:53.100 grammar school the police came to our grammar school like third grade and they told the kids

00:49:58.200 he said listen if anybody adult says to you you got to keep a secret between you and them anybody

00:50:05.800 wants to keep a secret that's an adult between you and a child that person's called a molester

00:50:09.300 okay you call the police we'll come right away now that person's no longer called molester now

00:50:16.540 that person is called california public school teacher and it's the people oh and then you then

00:50:23.120 to get into the yeah it's not that funny anymore is that no sorry to ruin sorry i'm not having to

00:50:28.580 go your joke but it's like it's kind of serious no people go yeah that is like oh yeah but it

00:50:33.680 doesn't get like a and maybe it shouldn't because there really was that legislation went all the way

00:50:39.280 to the supreme court and the supreme court just last month said no no no parents can can can raise

00:50:44.160 their children the way that they want and not the school it's not you know i didn't co-parent with

00:50:49.220 the state but that's a thing and then and then you gotta you know you come from another place

00:50:54.380 which is which is fun which is um because it's a true story it does happen we have a big population 0.97

00:50:59.260 here you know uh and this crazy shit does happen and i don't know why specifically for women 0.99

00:51:04.740 it's maybe because their relationships aren't safe whatever but there are these these women 1.00

00:51:09.320 fragile women who uh teachers who have um sexual relationship with their students now just a woman

00:51:19.540 just got arrested in new jersey last week and uh she's and here's how i feel about that in all 0.88

00:51:25.700 seriousness like if a guy does it you know it takes advantage of a girl student you know that

00:51:32.060 they should cut his wiener off and the wiener and him never get back together again that's it

00:51:36.760 That guy kicked out of society. 1.00

00:51:39.620 However, if a female teacher decides to provide some extracurricular activity 0.88

00:51:49.000 for her male students off school grounds, I just remember the 80s. 0.68

00:51:54.980 Remember Hot for Teacher, that song.

00:51:56.900 Remember every movie, Weird Science.

00:51:58.760 All the movies is about this.

00:52:00.120 I just feel this way, respectfully.

00:52:01.820 All I know is if my classmate called the cops 0.99

00:52:06.080 before I get a chance to get my blowjob, I'd be pissed. 0.99

00:52:09.580 Do you know what? 0.99

00:52:10.960 As a former teacher, I don't agree. 1.00

00:52:13.720 Because she should be having sex with me. 1.00

00:52:16.500 Not the fucking kids. 1.00

00:52:17.840 That's the way I feel about it. 0.99

00:52:18.900 The other teachers, like the science guy, the gym coach,

00:52:20.860 I was available. 1.00

00:52:22.440 My dick was available. 1.00

00:52:23.660 I was ready for... 1.00

00:52:24.740 Yeah, that'll be the clip from this episode. 1.00

00:52:27.440 My dick was available. 1.00

00:52:29.800 I'm here slugging it away. 1.00

00:52:31.640 I'm trying to get these fat kids in shape 1.00

00:52:34.860 and this woman could have decently 1.00

00:52:36.280 had a relationship with me

00:52:37.260 but I do think though

00:52:39.160 out of context like that one

00:52:41.500 might be problematic

00:52:43.280 you're for pedophilia

00:52:45.000 well you know it's a joke 0.77

00:52:47.240 but it's also you know

00:52:48.500 doesn't seem to be

00:52:49.480 but that's just it though

00:52:52.700 you can get umbrage about anything

00:52:54.820 but I think the joke should be

00:52:56.880 you know like to me

00:52:58.040 it's why Dave Chappelle is such a master

00:53:01.020 because he said something that like i would have never gone there uh but it's comedians who do

00:53:07.780 because when he said the joke about like these guys are complaining about getting molested by

00:53:12.060 michael michael jackson's what a lot of people molested how many people could say they got

00:53:16.540 molested by michael jackson and i'm like that guy's a genius yeah you know yeah and he gets

00:53:24.340 away with it of course because you know there's something beautiful about that joke well chapelle

00:53:29.020 was the guy who helped break woke i don't think he gets enough props actually because when he came

00:53:34.300 out and he did the special i think it was called the closer yes and we've also got to give props

00:53:38.940 to ted sarandos and netflix yeah um ted i've got a book coming out soon we can work together and

00:53:43.960 but no but genuinely because what happened was they would you remember the protests

00:53:48.620 and they would and they were saying that we need to take down the closer

00:53:52.400 uh it was transphobic and there were protests and netflix employees and netflix they should

00:53:57.800 a fire to every one of those employees you get you're fine hey i'm sorry you don't like it you

00:54:01.860 know what you don't have to watch it you know what you can do this thing turn it or you can

00:54:05.980 turn it down or here's another thing you can find another job sorry but you know i understand you

00:54:11.160 know ted is a great guy and he's doing trying to do the right thing and he did stand up for the

00:54:16.020 most part for for uh chappelle i mean he did then later apologize if you noticed i didn't know i

00:54:22.300 didn't notice he apologized but ted's great and i love you ted and seriously you're the greatest

00:54:27.240 um but i no i think i'm 100 percent behind you but i i you know and i don't mean to uh but i'm 0.97

00:54:34.400 going to they did the the dave chappelle last special that he did where he um where he shit

00:54:41.200 on charlie kirk to be honest with you i thought that did he i thought it was i thought it was

00:54:44.340 terrible i honestly like uh because he was talking about the comparisons to you know to

00:54:49.400 martin luther king and the uh and uh say hey whoa whoa whoa whoa you know that's that's not charlie

00:54:56.180 there's other people that did this and and um charlie was an incredible and he wasn't like an

00:55:03.060 influencer that's totally that's a guy who with all his largesse and his incredible success and

00:55:08.460 his incredible you know he is you know our greatest comedian in america um but i think

00:55:14.860 though that uh that largesse has managed to keep him in a in his own gigantic successful echo

00:55:20.400 chamber, whereas Charlie was just trying to get kids to talk. He wasn't an influencer. He was a

00:55:26.240 Christian, a Christian who wanted to bring people closer to Christ. He was someone who was a

00:55:32.600 nationalist and a Christian. He's a Christian nationalist. No, he was a Christian and a

00:55:37.700 nationalist, a Christian first. He was a believer in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, as my

00:55:43.920 Lord and Savior. I'm a Christian as well. Now, but he's also a nationalist. Now, nationalism has this

00:55:49.560 thing where I don't like

00:55:51.900 the negative connotations to it. Yes,

00:55:54.240 nationalism, if you're trying to expand

00:55:55.800 your nation, that can be bad.

00:55:57.980 We need more room, we need

00:55:59.660 the Sudetenland on half of Poland.

00:56:01.820 In its expansion, it can be

00:56:03.740 a negative thing. But if you're trying to

00:56:05.660 protect your nation, nationalism

00:56:07.960 is required.

00:56:09.460 I didn't like that description.

00:56:11.940 I would just say that Charlie

00:56:13.620 Kirk

00:56:13.940 wasn't

00:56:18.280 like these other leaders.

00:56:19.560 that's the thing that was to me i'm still wrestling with it like you know six months

00:56:24.980 seven months later he wasn't like um rfk he wasn't like martin luther king he wasn't like jfk he

00:56:33.900 wasn't like these uh leaders who did amazing things and i in my mind i was like well god

00:56:39.180 needs people who have these flaws that to do things because they're risk takers they can put

00:56:43.740 themselves out there more than others in a way that could be beneficial to society and you know

00:56:49.320 god's plan whatever and um charlie kirk was an exception because he didn't have those that he

00:56:57.140 didn't have those flaws in his personality he was just a genuinely incredible guy and uh and i think

00:57:05.560 that that's an exception that i you know that i didn't see coming that is a uh a gigantic loss

00:57:13.040 for us so we'll see when a u.s army soldier returned from his second tour he didn't just

00:57:19.160 bring back stories he created sheath underwear designed for performance and built with freedom

00:58:07.120 And what's weird about it is you would have thought, I think, when something like that happened, that people would rally around, pull together, honor his memory.

00:58:20.200 Yeah.

00:58:20.700 But I saw you making some jokes, you know, about some of the people who are having a go at his wife, claiming she's involved.

00:58:28.260 I mean, what do you make of all that?

00:58:29.720 Well, I think if the right, if the conservative movement can do anything, it can try to destroy itself.

00:58:34.480 and so anytime it gets we got power how do we ruin it well um there is a divisiveness happening

00:58:42.380 because there is a void charlie uh that void and people trying to take it take it and um

00:58:47.680 and fill it and sometimes in the negative way and i do think there is a negative thing happening

00:58:52.680 and it happens with with any group that would take power the liberals obviously abused it and

00:58:58.580 now it's the conservatives turn but there is a certain ugliness there are people that are um

00:59:03.720 You know, there's my, our good friend, Frank Turek, who was Charlie's biblical scholar, because I, I was, I had a public speaking engagement with Charlie's beautiful, wonderful wife, Erica, who was taking over the organization.

00:59:25.640 it's not something she wanted something was thrust upon her and she's doing um and i had

00:59:32.280 a conversation so i asked frank i said what are the you know give me some help here uh some biblical

00:59:39.560 you know points of interest that i could bridge in the conversation and he brought up um exodus 22 22

00:59:47.960 and brought up Deuteronomy 19, basically talks about how God will, uh, protect and seek vengeance

00:59:56.200 on those who, um, take advantage of the fatherless and the widows. And it was very powerful. And so

01:00:04.020 I think you're seeing that. I mean, I think if evil is anything, it's a degradation of something

01:00:09.440 good so it's um you know something beautiful like love making and man and a woman and the

01:00:17.680 this the sacred thing that could be degraded into pornography you know beautiful sanctity

01:00:23.200 god's marriage divorce you know so i think also you know a pride in country um a divisiveness

01:00:31.440 uh to divide it into into sections instead of bring uniting people together i think it's to

01:00:37.200 divide it would be an evil way to degrade that. So I think we're seeing that as well. I hope people

01:00:44.740 enough will look for the good in it. And I think that luckily there's a lot of, there's so many

01:00:51.260 instances of Charlie speaking and listening to young people that I think you, I think it's a,

01:01:00.580 it'll hopefully will continue because we need it. He was personally responsible for, I mean,

01:01:06.480 along with Elon Musk freeing up Twitter for a 22.5% bump in young people in the election.

01:01:13.740 That's unbelievable.

01:01:15.500 So we'd like to maintain that and keep the young people, because this is their country.

01:01:21.620 It's for you.

01:01:22.620 It's like your nation, the young people.

01:01:24.260 It's up to them.

01:01:25.580 So we want to preserve it and do the best we can to pass it on.

01:01:29.720 And at this point, it does require sacrifice.

01:01:32.020 It does require you to put yourself out there.

01:01:33.800 And you have to go against the cultural hordes.

01:01:35.520 and you have to go against sometimes the tyranny that's at bay.

01:01:39.520 And it's interesting because if you look up Robert Schneider right now,

01:01:43.280 there's a lot of hate and stuff online because I think we should,

01:01:46.560 this is something that is controversial,

01:01:50.500 but I think we should reinstall the military draft.

01:01:53.920 And for sure, I mean, a lot of other countries do it.

01:01:56.020 I mean, I would say many, many countries do it.

01:01:58.480 We used to do it here because what it would do is be a cohesiveness again,

01:02:01.780 a union and bring people together because, you know,

01:02:04.340 there are no separate religions in foxholes no separate beliefs there's no party affiliation

01:02:08.820 it's just we're all in this together and i think we need to for one to get kids in shape get people

01:02:13.220 you know to realize for young people that they need to freedom comes with uh eternal vigilance

01:02:19.540 but it comes with sacrifice and if you just you know i took my kids to rome we went to the military

01:02:25.780 cemetery outside rome united states military cemetery and we said these this is the ultimate

01:02:29.860 sacrifice is what Lincoln said, you know, this is the final, he described it as the last full

01:02:37.940 measure of devotion for our country. And that is, you see, that guy's 19, this guy's 26.

01:02:43.340 This is a lieutenant colonel. He died here for our freedoms. This is what the sacrifice is.

01:02:49.160 So I do think it does take a shared sacrifice, and I hope that we'll be able to do that,

01:02:53.680 and it'll accomplish a unity that we do need with young people.

01:02:56.220 that's a concern is that we we do seem to be more and more divided and maybe we do need something

01:03:03.460 like this something to come in and go look if we can't achieve it naturally we need an artificial

01:03:09.120 policy to come in and help people especially when people are on their phones yeah all the time i

01:03:14.280 think so i think if you can bring people together regardless of whatever money they have regardless

01:03:19.160 where they came from here's another thing that it'll do if you have sent no one is excluded out

01:03:23.680 this so if you have a senator's son if you have you know mark zuckerberg's kid it's gonna everybody's

01:03:28.400 gonna think twice about putting these kids instead of a selective service or you know instead of just

01:03:33.680 somebody volunteer service you have this this selective service where you you have to join

01:03:38.800 it's gonna make people and leaders and hopefully the public think twice about any foreign wars

01:03:44.320 because it's not just some other kid's kid it's your kid and i think that that will be a positive

01:03:49.200 thing for foreign policy as well you'd have to really think is this really in our national

01:03:52.720 interest to do this is it really you know and so i think that that um uh mitigates some of the

01:03:59.340 the negatives of it like i don't want to have to go two years fuck that you know and i do think

01:04:05.000 it'd be good to get kids off their phone it'd be good to get kids united together as one nation

01:04:09.820 this is this divide that's happening this multiculturalism this diversity it's just it's

01:04:15.440 all a ruse to uh to divide and i think we need to unify if you're going to have a we're going to

01:04:21.300 continue to keep his country going for can continue to have western civilization going

01:04:24.780 there are some pretty darn good things to western civilization that we're saving

01:04:28.480 rome london londonistan or whatever you guys call it now but um what are your ideas to save it

01:04:36.140 western civilization what are our ideas to save western wow now there's i think number one is

01:04:42.780 installing getting people to be grateful for what they have i think we live in a place where we are

01:04:48.480 permanently anti-gratitude i think yeah social media instagram really worsens that exacerbates

01:04:55.300 it you go on instagram you're like i don't know i have that why don't i have a yoke why don't i

01:04:58.880 yeah there's a grievance yeah envy yeah which you which i think most people experience at some

01:05:07.020 point but the trick is to convert it into aspiration that's what i think i mean about

01:05:11.600 the united states that i think was so it's what you have here even still even now you have an

01:05:17.780 aspirational culture you do and it's you know because I remember when I was in England in the

01:05:21.580 90s I remember um hearing somebody saying something you know the difference between your

01:05:26.740 country and mine I think I did an Aussie accent or they like more of a Cockney one you know I love

01:05:32.100 that London has four different accents just London itself that's because these people didn't go over

01:05:36.480 here but I remember saying like um you know the difference in the United States generalizing this

01:05:42.460 this is from england english guys in the 90s so don't attack me uh but in america like if a guy's

01:05:51.020 driving a pickup truck and he sees somebody but he's driving by the cadillac oh man someday i'm

01:05:56.380 gonna drive a cadillac just like that dude but in england it'd be like some guy's uh driving a 0.98

01:06:01.260 pickup truck and some guy goes drives by a bentley someday that ass is gonna drive a pickup truck 0.98

01:06:06.300 Just like me 1.00

01:06:07.160 Fuck you 1.00

01:06:08.800 You rich fuck 1.00

01:06:09.600 You know 1.00

01:06:10.520 So

01:06:11.220 I don't know

01:06:11.920 Is there anything to that?

01:06:12.980 That's entirely accurate

01:06:14.340 Yeah

01:06:14.760 We talk about it all the time

01:06:16.520 And it's only when we came to America

01:06:18.840 We actually realized

01:06:20.100 That

01:06:20.740 We thought we were just weird

01:06:22.560 In England

01:06:23.660 Yeah

01:06:24.320 And then we realized

01:06:25.240 Oh we're just

01:06:26.020 We just have the attitude

01:06:27.780 That most people in America have

01:06:29.220 Yeah

01:06:29.840 It's why we love coming here 0.99

01:06:30.880 And it's not the shit on Britain 0.99

01:06:32.120 Britain's amazing 0.99

01:06:33.120 It's incredible

01:06:33.720 But the one thing that we lack

01:06:36.060 in the UK that we try and bring back

01:06:38.380 with our team and the way we do

01:06:40.460 trigonometry and the people we talk to

01:06:42.180 is that, which is like, go for it.

01:06:44.660 If you don't have what you want,

01:06:46.560 go for it. Don't blame other people.

01:06:48.560 Don't point your finger.

01:06:50.160 The opportunity is thanks. Thank God for the internet.

01:06:52.880 The internet is there now.

01:06:54.460 Just go for it. Go make it happen.

01:06:55.560 You can. That's why I think it was so frustrating

01:06:58.640 for the Democrats. They lost this one

01:07:00.180 when Oprah Winfrey's like, it's a system 0.98

01:07:02.340 of white supremacy. You may never 0.97

01:07:04.340 get to vote again. It's like, shut up. 1.00

01:07:06.060 you're a black woman who's a billionaire because of this system that you're shitting on right now 1.00

01:07:11.460 it's just it's just ridiculous it's absolutely hypocrisy to its zenith and i think people saw 1.00

01:07:17.960 that you know it's like and i think it's um so i think it's a good thing i think but i want to

01:07:23.160 keep progressing and and kind of going back and i think if anything there's a cycle that kind of

01:07:28.460 comes back and i i would like to see that cycle come back with with the sense of young people

01:07:32.680 taking pride in their nation and in the culture that they have.

01:07:35.860 It's beautiful.

01:07:36.780 Because I remember, like, the difference is the hordes that came in back up until 1921

01:07:42.020 in immigration, they came in from Poland, they came in from Italy, they came in from

01:07:45.760 Ireland, and they came with a flag.

01:07:48.480 We are America.

01:07:49.960 We don't all speak English, but we're going to be the flag.

01:07:53.800 We're America.

01:07:55.040 And they came and they gave to the culture, and the culture took from them, and it was

01:07:58.680 an exchange.

01:07:59.360 as opposed to, you know, what's dangerous

01:08:01.660 is people coming into the culture

01:08:03.180 that are taking more out and not putting in. 0.99

01:08:05.840 So we have these Somalians who've been here for,

01:08:08.560 not to pick on Somalians, 1.00

01:08:09.880 but I'm going to pick on Somalians, 1.00

01:08:10.860 who for 10 years of being welfare 1.00

01:08:13.080 are still stuck on welfare.

01:08:14.920 And it's a, you know, it's a different system

01:08:17.280 than, you know, that you don't realize,

01:08:19.760 I mean, seriously,

01:08:21.160 the most gullible people in America,

01:08:22.880 in Minnesota, like God bless them.

01:08:24.580 But then I remember I was doing comedy there in the 80s

01:08:27.880 And they go, like, I was getting gas with our car.

01:08:31.820 In fact, we didn't even rent a car.

01:08:33.400 This comedian's got a car he's going to drive.

01:08:34.940 And I'll pay for gas, whatever, you know.

01:08:36.900 And they said, oh, you can pay with a check if you want. 1.00

01:08:41.300 What are you guys, morons? 1.00

01:08:43.100 People just bounce a check. 1.00

01:08:44.340 That would never happen in California.

01:08:46.160 But in the 90s, they were still paying checks at gas stations.

01:08:49.740 And I went, like, these are very vulnerable, gullible people. 1.00

01:08:52.540 If any Somalian ever gets over here, they're going to rip this people blind. 1.00

01:08:57.400 But yeah, we have to be careful 1.00

01:08:58.900 of people who don't come in with,

01:09:01.900 well, that's what we're susceptible about

01:09:04.360 in a free society. 1.00

01:09:06.000 People coming in who are bad faith actors

01:09:08.980 who don't really want to come in

01:09:09.920 to be part of the society.

01:09:11.260 They want to come in and abuse the society

01:09:13.220 and take as much out as they can

01:09:15.100 or have no part to do with it.

01:09:17.060 Just kind of separate or even worse,

01:09:19.620 conquer your society.

01:09:20.720 That doesn't sound like people who are good faith.

01:09:23.740 And I think, I think people are waking up to that.

01:09:27.360 So I, I think with that in mind, the bad faith actors, we just need just to recognize them 0.91

01:09:32.940 because I do think there's a blind spot in the West. 0.63

01:09:35.320 I definitely think there's a blind spot with Keir Starmer.

01:09:37.460 I think for sure he's got a huge blind spot for this, you know.

01:09:41.760 And I think it's happening in the West, but there, it was interesting to see with Victor

01:09:45.880 Orban and hopefully by the time this comes out, he'll have his victory there.

01:09:51.400 I think it's a culture

01:09:54.720 each individual culture in Europe 0.98

01:09:56.680 is worth saving

01:09:58.360 and it's worth having a representation

01:10:00.260 and having a sovereignty

01:10:01.280 and that

01:10:03.780 I think is the most important issue now 0.97

01:10:06.360 So you are a white supremacist 0.98

01:10:08.140 I'm an absolute white supremacist 1.00

01:10:09.740 I'm a white supremacist in a system of white supremacy 0.97

01:10:12.900 and I look forward to benefiting from it 1.00

01:10:15.280 Filipino white supremacist 1.00

01:10:16.520 and keeping the non-Filipino Jews down 1.00

01:10:19.300 is loathing 0.96

01:10:19.820 Suppressing the others

01:10:21.980 Rob, always great to see you man

01:10:24.800 Thank you, I'm glad we got to catch up a little bit

01:10:26.920 There's still so much more to talk about

01:10:28.820 Next time, I'll come over there

01:10:29.960 If I don't get arrested

01:10:31.980 We'll get arrested 0.99

01:10:33.580 We'll get you bailed and we'll take you for a curry

01:10:35.920 What were some of the impressions

01:10:38.500 You got this time as opposed to your last visit

01:10:40.440 I mean, this is very superficial

01:10:44.780 But it's hard to get past

01:10:46.320 Before we came, we had 60 consecutive

01:10:48.380 days of rain in britain so it was nice to see the sun okay yeah i know this isn't interesting to

01:10:55.940 anybody but us but it's the only thing i can think about right now well what else has been there do

01:11:01.100 you know what i'd and we've touched on it but i just love it i'm like you talk to american and

01:11:05.980 they go so what are you doing man what's going on tell me and you're like oh well we're thinking 0.98

01:11:10.180 about doing this and they're like sure yeah instead of the uk was like no mate don't fucking 0.92

01:11:16.140 do that what's the point don't bother with that you know yeah just you know just stay in your lane 0.99

01:11:21.660 be miserable get on the antidepressants fucking kill yourself jobs are good and you're like 0.98

01:11:26.320 and it's nice coming here because people are like you say i want to do this and they go 1.00

01:11:30.820 sure well you guys are welcome we welcome you as uh political free speech refugees from your

01:11:37.940 country well one other thing as well is and i think it ties into this is like in britain uh you

01:11:42.880 don't know this but our studio is a little outside of london one of the studios that we use

01:11:47.580 like it's a hard thing to get people to drive half an hour yeah here people will we just had

01:11:54.240 someone on the show we're like where have you come from and we're in california well we should

01:11:57.400 have said actually we're the urban improv here in california uh we're filming in la where have

01:12:02.480 you come from florida you just flew all the way across the u.s to do our show in the uk we can't 0.98

01:12:07.060 get any fucker to drive half an hour basically. So it's that attitude and that cultural aspirational 0.99

01:12:13.700 go get it mentality that's just infectious. And that's what we love here, you know,

01:12:18.380 and that is something you guys have that's so precious. And I hope you hold onto it because

01:12:22.880 it is what made America what it is. America loves to build people up.

01:12:27.440 They also will tear you down, but it's a weird thing where the, you know, the French will say

01:12:32.000 that there's no second acts in American lives, 0.89

01:12:34.040 but I'm hopeful.

01:12:35.600 I think there are, and I'm living it.

01:12:38.240 So we'll see.

01:12:39.100 I'm excited about what the future holds.

01:12:41.580 I really, really am.

01:12:42.820 But I do think it's going to require some vigilance

01:12:46.000 and some people to be proud and say,

01:12:48.260 I'm proud of America.

01:12:49.360 This is an incredible accomplishment.

01:12:51.160 I mean, it really pissed me off when you go to,

01:12:53.160 like, a friend of mine called me,

01:12:54.660 you know, producer, Hollywood producer.

01:12:56.560 He calls me up and he said,

01:12:57.720 I got to tell you, I'm pissed off.

01:13:00.060 Can you talk to somebody in the Trump administration?

01:13:01.860 Everybody thinks I can just talk.

01:13:02.840 Oh, yeah, I'll get on the phone.

01:13:03.780 Can I talk to Trump?

01:13:04.700 Hello, is this the Trump administration?

01:13:06.020 Because you're conservative.

01:13:06.960 You're like, can you get Trump on the phone?

01:13:08.720 It's like, no, I can't.

01:13:09.760 But he said, I was just at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.

01:13:14.280 This guy, the Declaration of Independence is incredible.

01:13:17.460 And here's what they say.

01:13:19.000 The guide, he said, welcome to Thomas Jefferson's home, third president and slave owner.

01:13:29.340 I think that's the second thing he's saying?

01:13:31.160 That's the second thing he's saying?

01:13:32.740 He's like, I think he did more than just that.

01:13:35.000 So I do think there's like a,

01:13:36.780 we have to wrestle back our history.

01:13:39.400 And just, it's pretty darn good.

01:13:41.820 You know, I seem to remember Thomas Jefferson

01:13:43.140 doing a lot more than just being a slave owner.

01:13:45.260 Seem to remember him going to Paris and going to London

01:13:47.240 and then deciding, looking around going,

01:13:48.920 hmm, I don't like the way the streets go.

01:13:51.780 Let's not do that in the States.

01:13:54.000 You know?

01:13:54.300 He was an inventor as well.

01:13:55.680 Yeah.

01:13:56.080 Yeah, but he's one, we're on a grid.

01:13:58.420 when you drive back

01:13:59.680 you can thank Thomas Jefferson 0.96

01:14:01.140 because you're going straight

01:14:02.140 you're not making up

01:14:02.840 there's a little

01:14:03.340 I like the little

01:14:04.560 I do

01:14:05.560 I like the little windy roads

01:14:06.900 can I ask you a question

01:14:07.580 a serious question

01:14:08.160 I'll leave you there

01:14:08.620 how terrible do you feel

01:14:10.220 for the guys

01:14:10.700 who had to learn

01:14:11.560 the knowledge

01:14:12.540 and they don't have to anymore

01:14:14.040 and it's all

01:14:14.680 the guys

01:14:15.520 you're talking about

01:14:16.020 London cabbies

01:14:16.600 yeah yeah 0.98

01:14:17.020 the black cabbies 0.73

01:14:17.780 you see them driving

01:14:18.800 in the 90s

01:14:19.460 they were still there

01:14:20.100 driving around

01:14:20.820 with the big blue book

01:14:22.220 on a bicycle

01:14:23.260 learning the knowledge

01:14:24.420 of how to get around

01:14:25.600 in London

01:14:25.900 because it's impossible

01:14:26.640 to get around in London

01:14:27.700 now they don't have

01:14:28.240 to do that right yeah they still got to do that and you still yeah they still got to do that and

01:14:31.760 the thing is because london's not the grid system it's got these nooks and crannies so you still go

01:14:35.880 there yeah and it's great to chat with the black cabbies because you know you'll sit down they'll 0.98

01:14:39.520 be like mike it's not what it fucking used to be they're not actually black necessarily just for 0.97
