you've probably had that moment where you think,
00:00:08.240
what happens to them if I'm not around tomorrow?
00:00:30.920
with some policies starting as low as $30 a month.

00:00:53.700
I've been making arguments in public for long enough
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.
00:01:47.640
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.
00:02:05.580
That's the most important meal of the day.
0.99
00:02:12.800
Well, I mean, I'm a 90s liberal, which makes me a right-wing fascist now, right?
00:02:17.720
God forbid we stick to those free speech and women's rights and things like that.
1.00
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.
00:02:38.140
California either has a huge homeless problem or a gigantic camping success story.
00:02:54.000
Last time we had you on the show, it was right after the election.
00:02:58.360
Pretty much the biggest episode we've ever done.
00:03:05.660
It's been 12 months and like so much has happened.
00:03:10.000
No, it seems like the Chinese, it's not a proverb, but it's basically.
0.99
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
00:03:43.100
I mean, the fact just because the Republicans are in power that they can actually do all the stuff they want to do.
00:04:02.920
Is basically you impersonating his English accent
00:04:11.900
No, I told you yesterday, we're coming at 1.30
1.00
00:04:16.740
No, but I said I sent you a message, which means it's going to happen automatically.
0.99
00:04:24.640
Well, you kept the rule of law and property rights.
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
00:04:58.240
So you guys were still rationing, like, into the 50s.
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.
00:15:04.840
It's not just the ability for you to speak freely and somebody to stop that.
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.
00:15:19.140
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.
00:15:33.320
They would give it to this liberal organization
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
00:17:44.200
that are gonna protest, they're gonna say no, no, no.
00:17:48.840
You never hear this, a Catholic guy jumped on a train
0.98
00:17:54.000
You never hear like, a Tibetan monk hijacked an airplane
0.96
00:18:00.740
You know, you don't hear a Chinese woman drove a van
1.00
00:18:33.320
It works fine until you actually need to move in it, or it rains, or you reach for a pocket
00:18:41.380

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
00:19:02.900
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.
00:19:14.880
Matthew Hobbs says he has never been able to find such comfortable, durable,
00:19:21.820
CJR wrote, they fit right the minute I tried them on.
00:19:25.400

all you need to become a star in LA is 20 minutes
00:20:37.340
but by the time I was 24, all I had was 20 minutes
00:20:40.780
at that time, and the only other guys who had 20 minutes
00:20:52.420
but he was great, all those guys would be helpful
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.
00:21:32.640
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,
00:21:41.580
He would say a little joke like, magic is just to make you feel stupid.
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?
00:22:01.520
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
00:23:46.300
It was during COVID, too, because COVID was really cool
00:23:54.520
Different states, you know, that way the states would have different rules.
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.
00:24:08.880
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.
00:24:22.320
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?
00:24:51.080
if that's not authoritarian and calling them terrorists,
00:25:00.920
was it woke people up here in America to it,
0.98
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.
00:25:12.280
It's according to Robert Malone, who invented the or co-invented the 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
00:25:31.280
And he what it did was it gave an off ramp like, hey, we got something we can open up
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
00:28:01.180
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
00:28:50.160
I mean, Bill Hicks used to go to the Deep South
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
00:29:22.460
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.
00:29:34.180
I think he said, blessed are the cheese makers.
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.
00:30:00.620
The cultural fear of that, you can't even say it without thinking, oh, yeah, you could
00:30:05.360
Well, Jimmy Carr has a great joke about this, which is, you know, a lot of Christians complain
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
00:30:21.120
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
00:30:31.500
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
00:30:49.260
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.
00:31:01.860
Every guy, by the time they're a teenager, you know, you meet another guy at some point.
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
00:31:52.340
that's the difference between men and women.
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.
00:32:22.520
And they just put Kamala in to save the democracy.
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
00:32:39.140
The point about Bill Hicks is interesting, though,
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
00:32:54.980
So there was a, yeah, I think it was a stricter time.
00:33:04.560
but I don't think it's the same kind of jeopardy
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.
00:33:44.900
but once they've tried to cancel you so many times
00:33:48.020
what can they do to me at this point, 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.
00:35:27.620
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.
00:35:43.900
I'm just saying just not for the important things.
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
00:38:12.240
I mean, I hope it doesn't come off like it's angry,
00:38:24.280
It's April, which means the days are getting longer,
00:38:28.620
and I am still the person who gets to two in the afternoon
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
00:40:28.760
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
00:40:59.460
I got to meet him once when he was doing Donahue.
00:41:11.940
And they said, you know, Richard Pryor's in the building.
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
00:43:30.540
My favorite thing is a good laugh in the audience.
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
00:47:40.980
I come up and tonight it's really fun because I go, hey, it's so beautiful in California.
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
00:48:07.280
And I just go, Francis, do you give a shit about what's happening?
0.99
00:48:15.440
But that said, you know, every time we've been coming here for years now,
00:48:27.520
People who stay here go, it's so fucking beautiful.
0.89
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.
00:49:00.080
But the grievance tax, the billionaire tax, the wealth tax, or the what about me tax?
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
00:49:23.380
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
00:51:39.620
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
00:52:01.820
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
00:52:18.900
The other teachers, like the science guy, the gym coach,
00:52:24.740
Yeah, that'll be the clip from this episode.
1.00
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
00:56:19.560
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.
00:58:20.700
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.
00:58:29.720
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.
01:01:15.500
So we'd like to maintain that and keep the young people, because this is their country.
01:01:25.580
So we want to preserve it and do the best we can to pass it on.
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,
01:01:50.500
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
01:06:50.160
The opportunity is thanks. Thank God for the internet.
01:06:55.560
You can. That's why I think it was so frustrating
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.
01:07:36.780
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
01:07:49.960
We don't all speak English, but we're going to be the flag.
01:07:55.040
And they came and they gave to the culture, and the culture took from them, and it was
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,
01:08:24.580
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.
01:08:36.900
And they said, oh, you can pay with a check if you want.
1.00
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
01:09:20.720
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.
01:10:09.740
I'm a white supremacist in a system of white supremacy
0.97
01:10:24.800
Thank you, I'm glad we got to catch up a little bit
01:10:33.580
We'll get you bailed and we'll take you for a curry
01:10:38.500
You got this time as opposed to your last visit
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
01:12:42.820
But I do think it's going to require some vigilance
01:12:51.160
I mean, it really pissed me off when you go to,
01:13:00.060
Can you talk to somebody in the Trump administration?
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.
01:13:19.000
The guide, he said, welcome to Thomas Jefferson's home, third president and slave owner.
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
01:14:28.240
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
