Transcript
00:00:03.260
I guess the left went so far left, they left the American people behind.
00:00:07.420
It's so funny that they accused Trump of being racist.
00:00:10.040
The people that helped him win were black men and Hispanics.
00:00:14.420
Yeah, but they've got internalized whiteness, so that's what it is.
0.89
00:00:25.820
He's not brain impaired until we say he's brain impaired.
00:00:33.220
He's the most powerful political figure in over a century in America.
00:00:37.180
And that's done because the Democrats gave him that gift.
00:00:49.000
It is a joyous time in my nation and for the world.
00:00:54.660
Yeah, but the Trump victory was just a phenomenal achievement.
00:01:00.000
An incredible, the greatest comeback in political, American political history.
00:01:06.660
Most importantly, it's a stunning rebuke for this authoritarian, narcissistic crap that America's been having to deal with for the last few years.
0.95
00:01:19.400
And so you'll have to excuse me if I am extremely enjoying this moment in time.
0.97
00:01:31.720
And you switched parties about 10 years ago, right?
00:01:36.220
I mean, if you're not a liberal in your 20s, you know what they say, you're heartless.
1.00
00:01:40.060
But if you're still a liberal in your 50s, you're an idiot.
1.00
00:01:46.640
I realized that the Democratic Party goes out of its way to try to help people when they have no power to do anything.
00:01:56.560
But there's this feeling that they are supporting you somehow.
00:01:59.260
And I think that's what happens, you know, to people who still support the party.
00:02:08.580
You know, like it's so it is wonderful to see, to enjoy.
00:02:13.040
For me, having lived here and been through this kind of elitist, you know, crying and complaining and Oprah Winfrey saying we're going to have the democracies over if we don't elect Kamala, who wasn't democratically chosen to be the Democratic Party nominee for president.
00:02:33.880
You know, and Robert De Niro saying, you know, threatening him.
00:02:36.660
And it's just it's nice to know that none of that worked.
00:02:42.200
And these people are so rich and they have so much money and power that they can avoid the very real life consequences of Democratic policies of the last few years with open borders, which were simply open to just moving people, you know, in the middle of the night.
00:03:05.020
You know, no one's doing anything good in the middle of the night.
00:03:12.200
Gone in the middle, you know, but I take your point.
00:03:15.640
And it was like, we're just going to have like California.
00:03:17.820
We're going to have a super majority of Democrats and there will be a choice which Democrat you want.
00:03:23.780
I mean, you're going to have a choice in this one or this one.
00:03:27.620
But so it was really becoming close to being the Republican Party, which I, you know, I found appalling, you know, in my youth.
00:03:36.660
But where the Democrat, the Republican Party would be a forever minority party.
00:03:43.240
And truthfully, the Republicans in Congress, they love to, you know, as long as they 93% re-election rate, they're happy to even lose.
00:03:52.260
So this was an astounding achievement because I think we were the, I guess the left went so far left.
00:04:00.040
And so their policies, which they wouldn't even mention, I mean, Kamala Harris, who was the, she says she's the, you know, the law and order district attorney for California.
00:04:12.660
She wouldn't back a bill that's 36, which passed very, you know, with the tremendous numbers here in California, which is basically to just, if you steal something, shoplift, they have to prosecute you.
00:04:25.460
I mean, it doesn't seem that complicated, but this week, you know, the day before the election, she just said, I'm not going to comment on that.
00:04:31.640
So we didn't, you know, say, how do you, how are you against that?
00:04:35.460
So you really have, you know, like one remaining Walgreens in San Francisco.
00:04:40.300
And anytime you try to buy anything in a store, it's like, excuse me, can I get somebody to unlock the bananas so that I can get, you know, you can't live your life that way.
00:04:48.200
So I don't even know how Democrats can, you know, there's this woman practically in tears on the plane that I flew here.
0.99
00:04:55.560
And I was just trying to console her because I think it's going to have to be the Republicans that put on the big boy pants here.
00:05:03.560
And they're going to have to be the reconciliation party and the party that reaches out to the other side and the party that doesn't do the lawfare and vindictiveness.
00:05:12.760
I think that's going to have to be, I met with, you know, I went to Washington, D.C., met with the congressman to start talking.
00:05:20.200
And they have legislation now to make sure that if any lawfare on the state level for any, whether it's a senator, any federally elected official, including past or present vice presidents or presidents.
00:05:35.600
And if it's at the state level, which could be corrupted, as we saw what happened in New York City with Donald Trump, it's automatically jumped up to the federal.
00:05:43.980
So you can still bring charges against somebody, but at least it's taken out of the, you know, the political realm as much as possible.
00:05:51.740
And that's what we're going to have to do, things like that, to move things peacefully forward in this country.
00:05:57.800
You said that, you know, the Churchill quote, I think it's Churchill about the liberal when you're young and et cetera.
00:06:05.300
Because one of the things that strikes me is, I don't know how much you've changed, you tell me, but I think the Democrats have changed dramatically.
00:06:14.000
So when you were still voting for them, they were pro-border security and all of these other issues.
00:06:21.260
They were, many of them, to the right of where Donald Trump is now.
00:06:25.040
So is it that you got old and conservative, or is it that they, like you said, they went so far to the left, they left the country behind?
00:06:32.020
And also, there was just, in California, you have, there is not one aspect of your life that this administration, and I understand the Democrats have been in charge for 12 of the last 16 years.
00:06:44.360
So there literally was nothing, no part of your life, whether it's your kid's school, where they literally, you know, Gavin Newsom passed a law that if your kid was claimed or was, you know, this, there's a lot of the social contagion of gender dysphoria.
00:07:02.020
Which is a very delicate time for any youth at a time, and there's also a percentage of kids that are on the spectrum who could be, fall prey to this gender dysphoria, and it's a contagion, or gender contagion in society.
00:07:17.200
And so they passed a law that if you can't tell the parents, so, you know, I didn't sign up to co-parent with the state of California.
00:07:25.360
You know, I mean, it's my kid, my wife's kid, we're going to do it, so we got the hell out of here.
00:07:28.580
You know, as I say in my act, you know, it's a very Rodney Dangerfield-style joke.
00:07:32.560
I said, hey, it's dangerous taking your kids to public school in California, you know, in the morning you drop off a girl, in the afternoon you pick up a boy.
00:07:43.740
I do feel it's, so they did, and there was even legislation here, it was a joke of mine that went, I thought about it for a year, the joke.
00:07:53.300
And it just, it kind of crystallized finally as I was driving my car, because sometimes you can take something and try to complicate it, but the more simple you can get the joke.
00:08:01.920
But it was about slave reparations, because it passed committee, they don't know how to do it, but it passed committee, they don't know what they're going to do, and Gavin Newsom did agree to sign the bill for slave reparations.
00:08:12.300
And it's like, so the state of California wants to pay money, pay people who were never slaves, to be paid for by people who never owned slaves, in a state that never had slaves.
0.96
00:08:27.120
And I said, that's like paying child support for a child you never had, to a woman you never fucked.
0.83
00:08:34.860
And it just, you know, it just kind of very, it just gets to the point, people kind of get it.
0.96
00:08:39.880
And so, but I think so, the Democrats have been able to, I think the best comedy now is more conservative based, because you have to go against the power base.
00:08:48.360
The power base has been this illiberal liberalism, that I just don't feel like it speaks to the average person.
00:08:55.280
The first time I came to this city was in 2002, and it was completely different.
00:09:00.580
When was a moment for you where you started to notice things going awry?
00:09:04.980
Well, it was having to do with medical freedom of parents, and the kind of the tightening the noose for the pharma industry.
00:09:14.660
Big pharma is a real problem in the United States.
00:09:19.940
The power of big pharma, like I tell this to people in California, well everywhere.
00:09:26.520
I say, like, you take the Mexican drug cartels, and they make maybe $10 billion, roughly, maybe on a good year, 15, 20, and that goes a long way in pesos.
00:09:36.220
However, you take a look at the pharma industry, just for the vaccine industry, it's $350 billion.
00:09:44.360
And then they want to get it up to $750 billion by the end of the decade.
00:09:47.840
And that's just this particular group of drugs, and they make it mandatory for you.
00:09:54.840
And what they did in COVID was there's no liability.
00:09:58.880
As a matter of fact, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson and what is the other one?
00:10:11.380
They would not go into a country unless they were given blanket immunity from liability for the harm of these drugs.
00:10:21.820
And they didn't want to release the information because if the state's paying for it, this is American's property.
00:10:28.120
So that's why we have the freedom of information.
00:10:33.060
And what they tried to do was the FDA, and that's why we have a captured agency by industry, the revolving door between industry and agency.
00:10:45.660
You could be at the head of the Merck division for vaccines, and then the next thing you know, you could be at the FDA, and then you could leave and then go.
00:10:53.760
So there's – and the FDA is funded primarily by the drug industry.
00:10:59.780
So if you have a new drug, you have to spend what's $50,000 for just the application.
00:11:04.180
And the application for drug fees is what funds it.
00:11:09.120
You want to do your own studies to find out if it's safety.
00:11:11.360
So it's basically letting the fox in the hen house.
00:11:19.000
And that's what Robert Kennedy and I have talked about for years is to have a firewall so that you can do what's best to protect the people.
00:11:26.160
I mean, these agencies have to be for the protection of people and to benefit the United States citizens and their children.
00:11:34.720
So I saw the encroachment where pharma would actually write the new rules for the medical boards.
00:11:41.880
And the medical boards – because the big pharma pays – if you look at the biggest contributors for all political – for all political parties and for political candidates, whether it's at the state level or federal, you'd be shocked that the majority of it is coming from pharma.
00:12:06.200
We spend five times more for our drugs here than they do in Europe, and we're not getting the same results.
00:12:10.420
So I think one of the things that Kennedy's talked about, Robert Kennedy's talked about, is there's only two countries that allow straight-to-consumer advertising of drugs.
00:12:20.480
And it's like – and it is – it's just us and New Zealand.
00:12:24.240
Well, you know, well, New Zealand, you can understand why they would do it down there.
00:12:29.380
They're so far away from people, and they're very nervous and cold and so close to Antarctica.
00:12:37.100
But we – so that's going to be a big deal because 75% of all advertising, when they say Pfizer – the news, Anderson Cooper brought to you by Pfizer, that's because Pfizer is paying Anderson Cooper $20 million.
00:12:57.440
So they have to – those tentacles have to be taken off one by one and so that we can have a chance to kind of undo the damage that the pharma has done.
00:13:09.020
So that's what got me involved originally in it.
00:13:11.020
And it's – you know, the party in power in California, you know, they want to control what kind of car you drive.
00:13:19.700
It didn't pass, but it was proposed to limit your car to go only 80 miles an hour.
00:13:27.740
And we say, hey, look, I don't want to drive more than 80 miles an hour in a school zone.
00:13:30.520
But, however, on the highway, if I'm going to go up to San Francisco, I want to go more than 80.
00:13:35.360
But the fact that the Democrats want to control every aspect of your life and the fact that they, you know, they want to hide things from your kids, hide things from parents between the kids and their teachers, I think is unethical.
00:13:50.320
And I think even – so the American public rejected it.
00:13:56.540
There's a narcissistic – narcissistic failed male athletes should not find refuge because they can't beat other guys.
00:14:04.920
I mean, hey, I would have loved to have done it.
00:14:10.120
You know, Rob, what you're sort of talking about here is you're saying in many ways that California was descending into authoritarianism, really.
00:14:21.340
Well, if you go too far left and you go too far right, you end up with what you really end up with.
00:14:25.260
They're back-to-back and it's totalitarianism, whether it's from the left or from the right.
00:14:32.240
And the interesting thing about the United States was the division of powers.
00:14:38.960
I mean, we really – and that's why, you know, for all the people screaming that Trump is going to become a dictator, he wasn't the first time.
00:14:50.260
He certainly made some phone calls to prevent leaving.
00:14:54.060
So you have the three-legged milk stools, what I call it, with the executive, judicial, and the legislative.
00:15:02.880
Now, the problems happened, though, is after 9-11 and the attack on America, you had the Twin Towers falling down and the 2,000-odd people dying.
00:15:13.300
We had a thing called the Patriot Act, which subverted the authority that would – and basically not subverted, but it was happily given from the legislative to the executive.
00:15:24.680
So they basically abdicated their lawmaking powers to the executive so that the executive, the president, could have a clear hand and since has been, you know, ruling like an emperor.
00:15:37.320
And that happened – and it's been – both parties don't want to give that power up.
00:15:40.860
And it was just approved again under the Democrats.
00:15:43.200
And I don't think the Republicans are going to give it up either.
00:15:47.420
Because the idea of a law – I mean, if there's an emergency that the president needs to do something, that's fine.
00:15:52.960
But I think you've got to go back – I go back to sports.
00:15:55.700
I think just like, you know, in football, if there's a play, you want to have a flag on the play, you want to check the replay.
00:16:03.500
Well, I think the president should get two executive orders a year.
00:16:08.260
And you've got to – you know, and it still should have to pass some sort of legislative review.
00:16:13.040
And otherwise, like what happened with Biden is he – 125 – in his first week, 125 executive orders.
00:16:22.360
And there really isn't the checks and balances.
00:16:26.540
They have to go back, again, undo the Patriot Act, which also spies on Americans.
00:16:32.200
And we have to, you know, stop these forever wars.
00:16:36.320
And so, you know, I was excited about the potential to have Trump reelected to get out of this.
00:16:43.580
I mean, the Democratic Party moved towards these warfare.
00:16:47.280
They became – it's really interesting that the people who supported Kamala Harris and Tim Walls was Dick Cheney, who the Democrats 20 years ago called a war – correctly called a war criminal.
00:16:59.460
And, you know, his warmongering little daughter and they – you know, and also Vladimir Putin also was a Kamala supporter.
00:17:09.620
I don't think they really publicized that too well.
00:17:12.240
But – so I think we have to move away from that.
00:17:15.880
We have to get away from that and stop spending our – you know, because when you keep spending money – and it's like the people, the movie stars and the people who supported Kamala Harris,
00:17:26.180
they don't know what it's like to be an average American, like me.
00:17:32.060
You know, I had to take – I didn't fly private here.
00:17:38.860
But I had – it was like eight rich people instead of just one rich person.
00:17:44.780
But the average person in America has less than $1,000 in the bank.
00:17:49.820
So when you raise – when you just print a bunch of money or you give $100 billion to Ukraine, you are – and you're printing that money, you're causing this inflation.
00:18:00.540
And inflation went up 26% in the last four years.
00:18:04.680
And that – I mean, people had to choose between groceries or buying gas for their car.
00:18:10.000
And it's just put a real burden on the backs of hardworking Americans who were just struggling to get by.
00:18:17.380
So we have – there are people – that's why it was such an across-the-board.
00:18:21.440
That's why you had – it was so funny that they accused Trump of being racist and sexist when the people that helped him win were black men and Hispanics.
00:18:31.060
Yeah, but they've got internalized whiteness.
0.63
00:18:37.520
Yeah, they're the black face of white supremacy.
0.99
00:18:44.100
Because if you put that in your script or in a movie, they go, no, no one's going to buy that.
00:18:49.780
Even black people can be white supremacists and be the only thing you want in this country.
1.00
00:18:54.740
It's like – so it really – it comes down to you have free choice as long as you agree with us.
00:19:07.460
And if you don't – and if you're in that and you no longer – if you're Thomas Sowell and you're an African-American and you think differently and you find yourself in conflict with these liberals who aren't so liberal, you're a race traitor.
0.90
00:19:22.140
You're not just someone who thinks differently.
00:19:24.160
So I'm hopeful that the Democratic Party will see the error of their ways and regroup.
00:19:32.360
Well, I hope they keep losing, to be honest with you.
00:19:35.840
But, you know, the power – now the power shifts.
00:19:38.760
So now my comedy is going to have to shift also to what the Republicans do.
00:19:42.020
It has to be whoever the power base is, there's going to be an abuse.
00:19:48.120
So, I mean, I do hope – we only get two parties.
00:19:50.760
We tried with Robert Kennedy to have a third party.
00:19:53.100
But you can say what you want about the, you know, the arrests and the indictments on President Trump,
00:19:58.860
which will all be thrown out this week or the first week that he's in office.
00:20:06.160
But they did – so seven against Trump, ten against Kennedy.
00:20:10.460
So, you know, the Democrats don't – nobody wants a third party.
00:20:15.460
So what the media does – and the media also needs a spanking from this.
0.63
00:20:19.880
And they need to come back to a place where they represent the American people.
00:20:24.400
And, you know, the slandering – the Atlantic is a shit magazine.
0.99
00:20:30.120
The New York Times, the Washington Post, no one wants to read that.
0.99
00:20:33.660
Outside that small little circle of a several block area of New York City
00:20:37.920
and a little bit places in Bel Air and the gated communities in Los Angeles.
0.98
00:20:44.020
Nobody gives a shit about the New York Times.
0.99
00:20:46.780
It is no longer – I would never pay a penny.
0.95
00:20:50.020
When they ask, would you like a dollar a month?
00:20:52.760
You couldn't pay me a dollar a month to read that shit because it is no longer an objective news organization.
0.99
00:20:59.500
Well, here's the interesting thing, though, because Jeff Bezos has – it came out and actually said
0.98
00:21:04.760
what the Washington Post is doing isn't actually – you know, is no longer working.
00:21:13.420
They need to – they need to catch up with current times.
00:21:16.780
And you're thinking – whatever you think about him, you can't deny the guy's a smart businessman.
00:21:21.120
He is, he is, but it's a little late to the party, isn't it, though?
00:21:26.560
So I would say that if it was still, you know, a hegemony of illiberal liberal media giants, they would continue it.
00:21:34.020
I mean, he wouldn't – but they are privy to information that I'm privy to as anybody who wants to get inside information on the inside tracks.
00:21:42.940
And it wasn't that hard to get inside information on what was going to happen in this election.
00:21:50.080
And as soon as he apologized, Jeff Bezos – and the same thing with the New York Times.
00:21:54.440
If you're going to be a newspaper, if you're going to attempt to present something that is objective in nature – and sure, it's going to always lean left.
0.98
00:22:03.640
But it was a grievance newspaper at a certain point trying to make people feel like shit.
0.98
00:22:10.700
And that's the thing that pissed off Americans was not only did they – they thumbed their nose and they had disdain for us.
1.00
00:22:22.160
They – you know, it was deplorable garbage.
0.98
00:22:24.460
And then Mark Cuban last week – I mean, talk about own goals the Democrats kicked here.
1.00
00:22:28.700
Mark Cuban calling Trump's women unintelligent and not strong.
00:22:36.220
I mean, whenever that happened, it was like, yeah, that's another million votes.
00:22:43.480
And then, you know, the great gift, the best gaffe of the entire election was Joe Biden saying he's – why are they letting him on TV?
00:22:54.620
They could just – it could have been a phone call.
0.98
00:22:56.200
They could have been – you know, he said, hey, the only garbage I see are his supporters.
0.98
00:23:02.060
And it was so beautiful how the White House tried to cover that, wasn't it?
0.98
00:23:11.720
He didn't mean like the supporters are garbage.
1.00
00:23:13.420
He meant the garbage that's coming from specific supporters.
1.00
00:23:22.400
He was just calling us white supremacists, uba, maga, mooga, ultra, maga.
0.99
00:23:28.720
These are Americans who just want to get by and get the government out of their life.
00:23:32.280
I mean, you really have something that I didn't think was possible was we have another Reagan,
00:23:43.540
He's the most powerful, he's the most powerful political figure in over a century in America.
00:23:50.680
And that's done because the Democrats gave him that gift.
00:23:54.060
Do you think that he is going to be able to enact everything that he's promised or even 50 percent?
00:24:04.000
No, but I do think he'll be able to get some of it in.
00:24:07.040
First thing he's going to have to do is fulfill his promise about energy and immigration.
00:24:12.620
And I think the immigration is impossible.
1.00
00:24:21.640
I mean, no one's going to argue about kicking out criminals and murderers.
00:24:26.100
I mean, that was the thing that, like, is laughable.
0.99
00:24:29.340
That ICE, which is this organization that the Biden-Harris administration just shit on,
0.96
00:24:34.400
basically the immigration and enforcement.
0.74
00:24:37.880
I mean, these are the people that are doing the hard work of the,
00:24:40.400
and then having to deal with the real life, you know, problems from this liberal party
00:24:48.900
that they're allowing this open borders and all the mess that's happening.
00:24:54.040
So ICE at the very, a month ago in the election, a little bit more than a month, in September,
00:25:01.180
they released information about all the murderers and all the criminals that came in.
00:25:09.660
This is, now you're going to have to deal with this.
1.00
00:25:14.720
I knew it was just a matter of, of just not doing our own, own goals.
00:25:20.700
And, and, and there's, you know, what the policies are good under Trump.
00:25:29.800
Well, the point you were going to make, I think, about immigration,
00:25:32.120
and I think it's a really interesting conversation, is deporting the criminals.
00:25:45.880
However, if you're going to get into families and breaking up families, if you're going to,
00:25:51.900
And first of all, I would just say, I would give Trump an out.
00:25:56.560
And truthfully, we need immigration in this country.
00:26:00.140
It's just nice to know who they are and are they coming in as soon as, you know,
00:26:05.160
and have an idea of where they came from and what their plans are.
00:26:07.720
Well, if someone's coming to your house for dinner, you kind of want to make sure that
00:26:13.160
But I think your point is, the immigration conversation gets difficult and painful
00:26:19.200
because I don't think, even speaking to people who are on the right, who are part of
00:26:23.340
the Trump movement, I don't think there's much appetite.
0.99
00:26:26.420
You're going to get some idiot on Twitter saying, you know, get them all out and whatever.
0.99
00:26:30.660
But most people don't want to see families where you've got American children and grandmys
1.00
00:26:36.100
living who came here illegally, like all of them deported.
0.98
00:26:43.960
Whatever small impact I have in this administration, which is zero.
00:26:48.960
But no, I'd be against that because I also think that there's an out for Trump.
00:26:56.460
These people are going to work and we're just going to stop the flow and the criminals
00:27:02.880
I think they have to have a road to, I mean, they have to have a road to some sort of legal
00:27:13.820
And I think the idea of America is, must be, give us your poor, give us your weak, give
00:27:25.660
And we'll make grateful citizens of them because of the opportunities that this, I mean, my wife's
00:27:31.760
Mexican and she, um, the Mexican people who come here are the hardest working.
0.86
00:27:37.960
I mean, you can, if you stop the Mexican workers here, this country will shut down.
1.00
00:27:45.500
And these are jobs that, you know, to be, uh, quite frank that, that, that not all of
00:27:52.100
them, but there's a lot of jobs that people, uh, natural born American citizens don't want.
00:27:57.660
Uh, and we need workers and we need people to come in.
00:28:01.320
I'd like to know who's coming in from China, you know, military age people coming in from
00:28:05.540
North Africa and Syria, China, that has to stop.
0.87
00:28:09.960
But we cannot as a country, um, but as a country, we cannot, um, afford to, um, and all, you know,
00:28:22.160
I would say money first, that's an out for the Trump, we can't afford these people.
00:28:29.440
Uh, but, but also I just think, uh, it would be heartless.
00:28:32.200
And I don't think we're, we're not going to be knocking down doors.
00:28:34.940
And that was the thing about the Democrats that were really, was terrible, was that the
00:28:38.640
Democrats were knocking down doors and arresting people.
00:28:45.800
And the whole idea that that was going to win, they were going to win the election on
00:28:48.900
that and abortion was, was roundly rejected by the American people.
00:29:05.860
You know, when they asked the FBI, the head of the FBI, uh, at this, at the congressional
00:29:13.420
So the Senate didn't give a fuck what happened that day, you know, uh, to really get to the
0.97
00:29:18.960
When they asked the head of the FBI, I'm blanking on his name.
00:29:22.640
Uh, they said, were there any FBI agents that were disguised as Trump supporters that
00:29:33.100
And he said, I'm not, I will not, I can't answer that question.
00:29:39.120
And so that's the kind of thing that has to, that was egregious.
00:29:45.540
Like there was this incredible case that the FBI did, which was absolutely stunning where
00:29:51.480
they, they set up and, and, um, they've got these, these people who are down and out
00:29:59.380
in Michigan, poor guys and set them up to, Hey, wouldn't it be a great idea?
00:30:04.040
And they pretended to be these other militia men.
00:30:08.440
Why don't you kidnap the governor, governor Whitmer of Michigan?
00:30:14.260
It was all a complete setup from the government.
00:30:23.280
But there was a point where the Democrats wanted to show these, you know, like the, that
0.98
00:30:28.000
they said for years, the most dangerous thing in America, these terrorists, these white supremacists.
00:30:33.040
It's like, you know, and Obama's lie, continuing to lie about there's good people on both sides.
00:30:41.960
And yet these assholes are still, still saying the same crap.
1.00
00:30:45.700
So luckily I think we're in a better place.
1.00
00:30:59.200
I don't think he's going to do anything too crazy.
00:31:01.200
I don't think he wants to mess with the markets.
00:31:03.100
Well, one of the things that is very reassuring to me about this situation now is that he's
00:31:12.160
got not only the mandate from the Electoral College, but the popular vote.
00:31:19.580
As we're recording this, we don't know what the situation with the House is.
00:31:23.420
He'll have, by the time this airs, he will have the House.
00:31:31.420
And on top of that, this was the election when the media dominance of the conversation
00:31:39.500
So he doesn't have to give a shit anymore.
0.98
00:31:42.060
He's not running for re-election, number one.
0.99
00:31:43.920
But more than that, he doesn't have to give a shit what the New York Times think.
0.98
00:31:54.580
And I tell people, I said, you're not going to have Donald Trump.
00:31:56.740
Don't worry about Donald Trump coming over to your house for tea.
00:32:00.200
He's not going to come over for crumpets or whatever you Englishman eat.
00:32:03.680
He's not going to come for your bar mitzvah, your kid's bar mitzvah.
00:32:10.920
You know when everything, the pipes are breaking and everything?
00:32:21.460
And I said, you know, he didn't have good people around him the first time.
00:32:35.220
He admits that John Bolton is this horrible war hawk, that it will have nothing to do with
00:32:42.600
I'm worried about that because I think he's another guy who is just a war hawk.
00:32:47.300
We need to get people that are not going to be that gung-ho about it.
00:32:51.180
So, I mean, I think it's a good thing he still wants to be liked by the New York Times.
00:32:57.560
But he's not going to have to worry about re-election.
00:32:59.860
So, I think he's going to worry about his legacy.
00:33:08.740
And he has a chance to deliver the things that they asked for.
00:33:11.700
And if he just did that and he didn't worry about the headlines and he didn't worry about
00:33:16.000
the name calling, you know, and didn't feel that he had to destroy everyone who comes
00:33:20.840
after him, he could just do the things that he promised to do.
00:33:24.840
And if he did that, I suspect he would change the course of history.
00:33:28.780
He really would, because not only would he show Americans that this was possible and he
00:33:34.680
would hand over the presidency to whoever his success is going to be, because if he delivers
00:33:39.080
on his policies, why would anyone vote for anyone else, right?
00:33:42.640
And then also, Rob, and this is, you know, for us is important, he could show the entire
00:33:47.820
You don't have to continue going down this path.
00:33:50.600
Well, it is a reckless path of this idea of the global elites and a one world government.
00:33:57.520
And we have to maintain, if we continue going down this path, it's, as Douglas Murray says,
00:34:03.320
it's the Western civilization committing suicide.
00:34:05.840
I mean, when you have now the majority of people in Brussels, Belgium, that are no longer
00:34:11.780
Belgique, but they're foreign born, you really are.
0.99
00:34:15.820
This whole replacement theory is another conspiracy theory that six months later, two years later,
00:34:23.400
Hang on a sec, Rob, but when we say the replacement theory, what are we actually talking about?
0.70
00:34:27.240
Because there's an aspect of it, which is like, Jews want to replace white people with Muslims
1.00
00:34:44.880
Well, you have to be careful with any grandiose statements.
00:34:49.220
And I would just say, also, the thing that's unique about this incredible system, I mean,
00:34:56.200
I mean, when our founding fathers, when they said we...
00:34:58.500
They didn't say, but we joined together to make a perfect system.
00:35:04.800
With the checks and balances, if you read the Federalist Papers, you know, what Madison
00:35:08.780
really wanted to do was to create a system that was hard to subvert into tyranny.
00:35:26.320
The biggest worry that I had was the Biden administration wanting to give over sovereignty,
00:35:29.640
whether it's to the World Health Organization, which Trump, towards the end of his first
00:35:35.820
Because he saw what was being run by China and also run by Bill Gates.
00:35:47.820
And we can't have our sovereignty or any nation's sovereignty.
00:35:52.520
We want to keep the individual cultures and what they've developed over hundreds of thousands
00:36:00.480
You know, we want to keep the Swedes Swedes.
1.00
00:36:03.100
What's happening is if you're having people come into your society with a spoken plan to
00:36:12.720
subvert your society, you can't bring people into your country who hate you.
00:36:16.420
You can't bring people into your country that want to destroy your country and that will
1.00
00:36:21.720
And I will say that the United States seems to be unique in the sense that there's just...
00:36:26.320
I don't know if it's just because there's just so much potential to make money and improve
00:36:30.640
your lives that it subverts people's religious fervor.
00:36:35.500
And you have a chance here to really become successful.
00:36:40.360
And that's why communism never really took a foothold here.
00:36:46.120
With the Democrats, we're moving more towards this Marxist in the name of woke, which if you...
00:36:51.320
All these Trojan horse terms that Andrew Doyle speaks about.
00:36:56.300
These are, you know, social justice, as Thomas Sowell says.
00:37:03.380
These are people that are angry and that want to, you know, revenge on everybody else.
00:37:07.020
So these Trojan horse terms, but were adopted by the Democrats and never wanting to power
00:37:15.360
And it seemed like they were just punishing the average person.
00:37:18.120
So I think it was important that there was a pushback against that and a real rejection.
00:37:23.420
And I hope we can go back to where these countries will reclaim their sovereignty and hopefully
00:37:31.260
People in the United States get subverted to the system and they become...
00:37:41.020
While capitalism also leaves people behind, it does afford, one, to improve your life and
00:37:55.420
The Marxist revolution was never going to happen.
00:38:02.240
1949, but then the Cultural Revolution in 1966.
00:38:05.080
And that was specifically to get rid of the four olds, he called it, which was habits, tradition,
1.00
00:38:20.520
It's tradition, religion, rituals, and religion for sure.
00:38:31.080
So what the Marxists had to do was to sneak in through education and subvert the society
00:38:39.940
Through the university and then going up into K through 12.
00:38:45.680
I think the plan is to cause so much grievance and so much chaos that people, and I think
00:38:51.380
the Democrats are part of this too, were trying to cause so much chaos that they'd be willing
00:38:55.360
to give up their liberties for just some sense of calm.
00:38:58.460
So that's why when you have girls' sports and boys' and girls' locker rooms, and then
00:39:03.740
you have people, the boys and the trans issue, and then you have openers.
00:39:09.940
You just have this crazy chaos where people say, enough, what do we got to do?
00:39:14.140
What liberties do I have to give up so I can have some sense of calm?
00:39:17.240
And you know, it's very interesting that you talk about the grievance industry, resentment,
00:39:24.160
because I've started to see this creep into comedy, and you must have seen this because
00:39:28.320
you were doing what, Saturday Night Live in 1990 when it was a completely different world.
00:39:34.280
How do you see Hollywood then and Hollywood now?
00:39:38.140
Well, I think that there, when people would watch something and complain about it on Saturday
00:39:43.440
Night Live, like we did a sketch about Bill Clinton, where Julia Sweeney, one of the, played
00:39:48.800
Chelsea Clinton as a 13, she was 13 at the time, Chelsea Clinton.
0.63
00:39:53.340
And we put braces on her, like, you know, like that.
00:39:56.420
And people were furious, like, leave the kids alone!
00:39:59.560
You know, this is before the Democrats would, you know, say mean things about Barron Trump,
00:40:07.920
And, but at the same time, you'd have to go over to people who are in power.
00:40:11.680
So, but there were people, you know, have you ever written to a TV show and said,
00:40:18.460
However, on Twitter, it's just this, and then send.
0.84
00:40:21.760
And so, the idea of, which is, you know, social media is relatively new.
00:40:29.060
So, the idea for companies and advertisers are just, you know, particularly, they're not
00:40:37.700
And so, if they get, like, you know, 15 or 20 or 30 of these things, they can think it's
00:40:41.620
Or if they get 300, they just think it's 3,000 complaints.
00:40:44.580
And all of a sudden, they worry about their brand.
00:40:50.840
So, that's why when, when the most wonderful thing that's happened, and I think one of
00:40:57.220
the reasons why Trump was so successful, is because the last bastion in tech companies
00:41:05.320
So, when Elon bought Twitter for $44 billion, interestingly, the Democrats or the liberals
00:41:12.440
knew that he was going to, you know, light them up.
00:41:15.760
They saw all the signs and they didn't want him to have the power.
00:41:20.660
They still took the, because they're whores.
1.00
00:41:23.000
At the end of the day, the Democrat whores took every fucking penny of that $44 billion.
1.00
00:41:28.620
And they were very happy to take it and go, you know.
1.00
00:41:31.000
And they thought, well, go ahead, destroy Western civilization.
00:41:33.840
I'll build a big fence and I'll be fine in here next to Oprah.
00:41:37.280
And, you know, and George Clooney, we'll have our, we'll be okay.
00:41:41.640
Uh, so luckily, that free speech, um, was, was where people like myself could actually
00:41:50.460
And, uh, and that free speech is, is, is really unfettered free speech.
00:41:57.140
And it, it's been amazing because I, I've gone to universities with Charlie Kirk and
00:42:01.700
I've gone, um, and spoken to people because they stopped teaching, um, that they stopped
00:42:08.760
teaching, uh, civics in school, how our government run.
00:42:13.380
They don't want, the government doesn't want you to know how Americans, how their government
00:42:17.340
And so they don't really talk about free speech, but you know, free speech isn't just
00:42:24.700
It's the stuff, the socially acceptable stuff doesn't need protection.
00:42:27.600
It's the lies, you know, it's the, it's the stuff that's offensive.
00:42:33.340
And then let the people decide what's the truth and what's not the truth.
00:42:36.460
But I, and I quite agree, but let's go back to the Hollywood point because as somebody
00:42:41.720
who's a huge fan of comedy and grew up with comedy movies.
00:42:51.080
Um, well, because the fear of the comedy now and the fear of being, uh, ex, you know,
00:42:59.080
Peter Boghossian talks about this with the left and there really is a religious architecture
00:43:03.140
in their thinking, whether they're religious or not.
00:43:07.280
When you challenge somebody's belief system, they get really angry.
00:43:10.440
It's a fundamentalist Christian, fundamentalist Islamic, or a fundamentalist Democrat.
00:43:17.160
And, uh, so, um, you know, it was very interesting because during the, you know,
00:43:21.340
during the, uh, scandemic, as I call it, which was, um, and I'm, hold on a second.
00:43:28.700
It is one of the most deadly pandemics in human history.
00:43:33.280
Well, first of all, it, it, the death rate of that, we have to look at the numbers for
00:43:40.120
Do you know what the death rate was in the United States?
00:43:49.540
There's, they said nobody died of the flu that year.
00:43:53.580
And they said, well, how come they died of COVID?
00:43:56.000
So at a certain point, we have to look at the evidence.
00:43:58.340
We have to make our decisions that are evidence-based.
00:44:00.960
So when I say it was a scam, it was a scam because Trump was lied to.
00:44:12.680
These are the people in the health agency, health agencies.
00:44:15.720
They said, if you don't do this, you're not going to get reelected.
00:44:18.000
Four million people, Americans are going to die and you're not, you're going to be blamed
00:44:31.400
The scam was, uh, that's been confirmed that, you know, the, the, the six feet distance was
00:44:37.020
Oh, lots of things we were told were bullshit.
0.99
00:44:39.740
And that the vaccine was going to be effective.
0.99
00:44:43.620
They would say it was going to be effective for, uh, preventing illness and you can't
00:44:49.420
And once you get it, you can't, then you're going to save grandma.
00:44:51.560
And then, and locking down schools was, was, was more detrimental to people.
00:44:58.360
Because again, this is like one of those terms, like the great replacement.
00:45:01.960
There is people who mean that there's a lot of immigration and now many cities in Western
00:45:06.940
Europe are not European anymore, demographically.
00:45:09.860
And there's other people who have another layer on top of it.
00:45:13.420
But I would just say, see this, like the people who died, um, the people who are most susceptible
00:45:17.960
are like the people most susceptible to any flus.
00:45:20.360
And these are people that, in the United States, the people who died, 80% were, were, were obese,
00:45:35.280
And, and it was, you know, it was something that was manipulated.
00:45:38.020
I had a friend of mine at the NIH, uh, the National Institutes of Health, and I talked
00:45:45.600
And, um, he said to me, and it's in my book, you can do it, which is, you can do it, and
00:45:58.460
He said to me that, um, I said, what is going on?
00:46:01.720
Because he was hired by the government to go to the NIH.
00:46:05.580
I won't use his name, but he said, um, receptor 26 looks a little sticky.
00:46:15.800
And he said, it's, seems to be man-made, manipulated.
00:46:22.280
And so what happened was it was able to, this thing was, they basically, these sick bastards
0.99
00:46:27.780
wanted to, they were shut down from this gain of research study here in the United States.
0.98
00:46:32.960
And they said, well, and they kept doing it anyway in, uh, in the Ukraine, incidentally.
00:46:37.400
And they also kept doing it in Wuhan and was paid by Fauci after Obama had shut it down
00:46:45.580
And then something, you know, it, it, it got out just like they were transporting, the
00:46:50.440
CDC was transporting anthrax and some other, and, and, uh, smallpox in these little containers
0.99
00:46:56.620
And that was luckily that it didn't cause a big, gigantic epidemic.
0.99
00:46:59.800
But the, the, the, the, the idea is that we can't, um, we have to be evidence-based on
00:47:08.380
I just, the reason I'm, I picked up on it is I just want to clarify because a lot of
00:47:13.360
people who hear the term scandemic, what they think is you're saying nobody died, there
00:47:20.380
Well, the people that, no, no, the people that died, the people most susceptible was interesting
00:47:26.560
So in Italy, you had, in, in the beginning of it, you had people getting very, very sick
00:47:30.220
with a particular type, with their blood type, that was in Italy.
00:47:36.440
However, the shutdowns ended up being more harmful in the end.
00:47:47.760
So what happened, but that was funded by, by, by China.
00:47:50.060
And China would like to, uh, wouldn't like nothing more than to shut down this Western style,
0.82
00:47:55.620
um, idea of freedom and the exercise of it by our citizenry, because they don't want
00:48:02.500
China to, uh, they don't want their Chinese citizens knowing that there's a freer world
00:48:07.560
And so we have to have, um, you know, we have to have the truth and we have to have, and
00:48:15.120
That's why I'm very excited about Robert Kennedy, um, joining this administration.
00:48:18.900
I mean, is he going to agree with everything from Trump?
00:48:20.560
Is Trump going to try to do some stuff that's, that's probably out of bounds?
00:48:29.960
I do think that, um, as a guy who got shot in the face, I would think he, there is some
00:48:47.560
I've been a, uh, Robert Kennedy is a dear, dear friend and a lovely human being.
00:48:53.560
And I, I, I just don't think that, um, and I really like Vance.
00:49:00.080
And, uh, and I think they're, they're going to want to do good things.
00:49:02.640
And I think they're also, the American people are expecting good things.
00:49:07.840
I think it's been such a tough time for the American people.
00:49:11.620
And it's been, it's been a time where, I mean, I really felt the stress and the strain
00:49:15.280
of people because I'm traveling, you know, not, not on private planes.
00:49:19.960
I'm traveling and I'm talking to people out there and I'm going to places and I stay after.
00:49:24.360
And sometimes I took questions in Florida, um, after a show.
00:49:29.680
And everyone is so stressed out and they're tense.
00:49:31.880
So that's what the beautiful thing about this mandate of a victory.
00:49:35.000
And the fact that he, the reason why there's no fires and there's no protests and they're
00:49:40.420
not burning Seattle, one, the cops shut it down pretty quickly and a small little riot
00:49:46.360
there, uh, yesterday, but, or I'm sorry, a few days ago, but also it's a mandate.
00:49:56.300
And what happened after when Reagan was elected two terms and then it was Bush, it was three
00:50:01.700
terms and that's, what's going to have to happen so that the, the, the Democrats can lose their
00:50:05.660
And then you end up with a moderate, like Bill Clinton, uh, you know, I'm a pro death penalty
00:50:11.360
Bill Clinton, you know, what the meaning of the word is, is.
00:50:15.820
And I, but I do think that was a centrist party and that was the only way they could gain
00:50:19.520
And the only reason they gained power is because there were three parties at that time and
00:50:22.560
Ross Perot took away enough from the Republicans that Clinton got in, which ended up being,
00:50:27.200
you know, I don't think a bad thing for the country.
00:50:30.600
Well, I think it, um, some good and some bad, uh, NAFTA was not, it ended up taking
00:50:38.180
Um, I think that you have to, you have to run the course between affordable products,
00:50:42.280
but also who's going to buy those things if no one's making any money.
00:50:46.220
So what happened in the late 1970s was, you know, inflation that kept going up, the job
00:50:52.700
money did no longer, that did no longer keep up with inflation.
00:50:55.720
So what happened was the, uh, the average worker to keep up with buying homes and buying
00:51:01.100
cars and buying TVs or back then video players or Sony beta machines, they had to borrow money
00:51:09.860
But when that collapsed, you had a whole group of people that were just lost.
00:51:17.540
That was, uh, something that, um, I'm, I think could be prevented again.
00:51:24.740
And I think the economy, what we saw this week, the first week of, um, president Trump's, uh,
00:51:30.940
his president elect, you're seeing the stock market responding very favorably, which is
00:51:35.780
The dollar just went up tremendously against everywhere.
00:51:38.320
So I think it's, uh, it's a boost of confidence and it's going to be a boost of confidence around
00:51:42.980
And coming just with, since we started talking about Hollywood, one of the things you obviously
00:51:48.020
experienced is that your opinions weren't popular.
00:51:54.860
Do you think, uh, this is going to sound like an incredibly naive question, but do you think,
00:51:59.440
do you think these people are now going to look at it and kind of go, oh, maybe I was
0.99
00:52:19.820
Um, because in some small way of small group of us and along with, uh, you know, Elon Musk,
00:52:28.780
God bless him, you know, Robert Kennedy, it was enough to turn the selection.
00:52:32.900
I'm not saying I had, I had very little to do with it, but in some ways that speaking
00:52:37.220
up and supporting Robert Kennedy and then supporting him very, uh, I mean, that's how
00:52:41.460
I knew his third party candidacy was in trouble when I was, you know, his, his most famous
00:52:47.100
Oh man, it's not going to go well for you, Robert.
00:52:49.440
Uh, but I do think, yeah, they, they don't want, um, they want the perception as these
00:52:55.580
are, we're doing this for everybody, but they're not.
00:52:57.840
They're, they're absolutely completely out of touch with the average American, what they
00:53:03.620
Oprah Winfrey, when she's going and talking about nobody cared what she said because they
00:53:07.620
know that her life is like, what gave her the opportunity to become a billionaire was
00:53:12.880
And here she is shitting on people trying to make the best out of it.
0.99
00:53:17.040
And I would say that that's amazing thing about the United States.
1.00
00:53:19.600
The difference between England and my experience is that like people root for you to be fucking
0.99
00:53:29.300
I mean, we got like, fuck yeah, Oprah, you're a billionaire.
0.98
00:53:31.800
God, now, now, but I'm telling you, it was getting to a point where people are getting
0.99
00:53:35.500
pissed off and they, they had, they showed it at the polls.
00:53:40.000
You have everything, these policies that you're, you're allowing at the border and these people
00:53:43.740
coming in, it is not affecting you and your gated mansion with all your security, but
00:53:51.360
It is affecting the, the movie stars, um, who don't have tens of millions of dollars.
00:54:00.440
I mean, I have like my gated community only have, I only have one guard in my gate.
00:54:04.140
I have nobody in front of my, it's my gated, my five cars.
00:54:08.620
I mean, somebody could easily come in if it's a Venezuelan gang.
00:54:11.740
And by the way, these Venezuelan gangs, I, I, I was writing jokes for Trump with some
1.00
00:54:26.980
You know, I don't know why we didn't call you instead.
00:54:29.900
Uh, there's 300,000 Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania.
00:54:38.200
But, um, no, but one of the jokes I said, like, we have these Venezuelan gangs coming
1.00
00:54:42.000
over here, taking away victims from American gangs.
00:54:45.180
We need to support American jobs, American gangs.
1.00
00:54:48.860
And, um, you know, um, but I, I don't, you would, it would require a delivery for him to
00:54:57.360
When he says I'm going to be dictator, well, maybe on day one, I'll be, you know, that was
0.98
00:55:00.540
a joke that wasn't saying he's going to fucking turn into, you know, Stalin on us.
0.97
00:55:06.020
So, but, but yeah, Hollywood hates me and that's okay.
0.97
00:55:10.120
And I hope that I get into a position with my new movie and a media company that I'll
00:55:16.980
I hold no grudges against anybody in Hollywood.
00:55:19.440
I would happily, even though I've, you know, I went public against all the late night guys,
00:55:24.360
I said, you know, during the, during the pandemic, I'll call it pandemic.
00:55:31.140
I just think it's worth clarifying these things so people know exactly what you mean.
00:55:35.080
So they then don't go, oh, he doesn't believe COVID happened or whatever.
00:55:39.980
I think that's, I think you're right to bring that up.
00:55:41.720
And I, you know, I talked about this in my act where I said like, you know, cause it was
00:55:44.880
very scary cause they tried to do this before to close society down before with, um, what
00:55:52.340
Uh, the, the, the pandemic of the, the 2000 and it was like the swine flu, right?
00:55:59.140
And the first thing they got to shut down, but like 50 people died from the vaccine and
00:56:03.860
Whereas they didn't really necessarily care or check to what happened this time.
00:56:07.800
You know, and everybody, they didn't fall for it then because they didn't have the
00:56:11.380
They didn't have the information and you can scare the shit out of people enough with
0.73
00:56:14.800
Remember those signs that we had signs all over the freeway said, you know, mask up America,
1.00
00:56:19.420
take the fucking shot, you know, save grandma.
0.99
00:56:22.120
And the phones were scary every 30 seconds.
1.00
00:56:24.140
It's like, Oh no, this guy's parachute didn't open and he died of COVID.
00:56:28.460
So, so you kind of show the exaggeration and, um, and I, I just want, um, you know, I want
00:56:37.320
people to come from a place of, of evidence-based next time and let's, let's make decisions.
00:56:42.620
And I would just say in general, we have to stop this.
00:56:46.540
I mean, I am an opponent now of, of vaccinology because, and I talk about it in my book, you
00:56:51.580
can do it, uh, available now on Hashtag Press, that the theory, there was a lot of bad ideas
00:56:59.160
You know, there's thalidomide that ended up, there was going to be for a woman, you know,
1.00
00:57:03.200
for, so she wouldn't have, um, morning sickness.
00:57:06.120
And then all of a sudden it, you know, made flippers out of arms for these, these poor
00:57:12.360
And so, you know, they didn't put in the measles vaccine and you can look this up too
00:57:16.080
until there was no more deaths from measles in the United States.
00:57:18.840
Cause what happened was the vax, the theory of vaccinology, this won't be, you won't be
00:57:24.680
able to put this on YouTube now, but the theory of vaccinology, what happened is it piggybacked
00:57:31.560
And if you look at the CDC, they'll say the biggest contribution to end disease was toilets,
00:57:41.840
But the, so the success of that, the theory of vaccinology piggybacked onto that into the
00:57:49.340
And so that, that was a, um, and like measles, I said, the deaths of measles disappeared.
00:57:53.060
So you had, you have, there's a wonderful guy, Roman Bistrianic, who wrote called Dissolving
00:57:58.900
And if anyone's interested in this, I recommend them getting that book because I don't think
00:58:03.100
we should, and as we're moving forward now with Robert Kennedy is going to be, um, overseeing
00:58:08.320
hopefully the NIH or at least overseeing the different, um, departments here.
00:58:12.700
And hopefully it'll, it'll spread to the UK as well.
00:58:15.500
We need to come to health from a position of health, not inducing disease to gain health,
00:58:22.600
And I think we need to do that because now we have children in America.
00:58:25.960
And what, what really got to me was, and why I got involved in medical freedom and why
00:58:30.380
I got excommunicated from Hollywood originally, because Hollywood doesn't want anybody to,
00:58:40.540
The producers, the directors, they, they don't want any reasons for it to not get hired.
00:58:43.460
And you could, if you're a liberal, like, you know, Mehdi Hassan, well, you can say that,
0.96
00:58:48.400
you know, homosexuals are pedophiles and what you're liberal.
1.00
00:58:51.400
But if you're really, if you're not, and if they can get you, you're out and you're out
00:58:56.560
And all these executives, they don't want to be involved with anything that's controversial
00:59:03.580
I want to challenge my audience and make them laugh at stuff they're not hearing everywhere
00:59:07.320
Um, the executives and the people at the, you know, streaming services are making decisions.
00:59:13.300
They don't decide what's the best movie or TV show we can do.
00:59:16.180
It's what can delay my inevitable firing the longest.
00:59:25.980
You know, that's the cute thing about Hollywood.
00:59:27.700
And why, like, I was lucky because I never got super rich.
00:59:31.200
I mean, I, I did, I did fine, but I never got like super uber wealthy.
00:59:35.640
And so I needed to work, which ended up being really good for me.
00:59:38.940
Um, but also once they, the thing about Hollywood, which is very, uh, subverse, you know, it subverts
00:59:47.180
They're not going to ask for all of your soul at one take, you know, they're going to ask
00:59:54.620
They go, you know what, you know, just a little bit, you know, that's why, like, interesting
00:59:58.220
thing with Jerry Seinfeld, they offered him a hundred million when that was a hundred
01:00:05.880
And the thing is about Seinfeld was really interesting because they only did one pilot
01:00:09.980
It was like, there's never been a pickup of just three.
01:00:12.940
So they got four years to figure out their fucking show.
0.99
01:00:16.900
Then they, they had three years to figure it out.
01:00:20.040
A smart guy, like he's a genius, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, they'd figured it out.
01:00:23.680
So, but it got four years to do it, but they offered him a hundred million.
01:00:27.460
And I think that's, that is very few people can do that.
01:00:30.640
Of course, he already had millions, a hundred millions already.
01:00:36.100
Jackie Gleason was one of the greatest, um, a guy who invented our sitcoms over here.
01:00:40.960
He, um, they said, you can make this funny, Jackie.
01:00:49.600
They gave him these horrible scripts in the sixties.
01:00:52.560
Like you'll be a blue matador, you know, you'll make it funny.
1.00
01:00:57.620
And then he would go and he was just fucking awful movies.
0.96
01:00:59.500
You know, they, they were all stoned on, I love you, Alice B.
0.98
01:01:02.500
Toklas, you know, it's an unwatchable movie, but he, you know, he's great.
01:01:10.340
So Jackie Gleason did this show and it was a piece of shit.
0.99
01:01:13.380
And every, it was just, it got horrible, uh, reviews when people reviewed things at that
0.98
01:01:18.480
time and he apologized the next week, said, I'm sorry.
01:01:23.460
I would find you a star who will apologize for something.
1.00
01:01:32.760
It was good jokes, but like, yeah, it didn't come out that great.
01:01:44.140
Do you think they became corrupted by, I think that they had to go along with what the liberals
01:01:49.720
I don't think you could, they weren't allowed to go against the government policy.
01:01:52.800
You couldn't go against what the, the, the Democrats were absolutely closed.
01:02:02.440
One of the jokes I had was, you know, if Biden was a dog, he'd put him down.
0.99
01:02:05.280
People were like, they would get up and fucking walk out.
0.99
01:02:15.140
So that, I mean, so, but they really would get angry.
01:02:17.600
I mean, I had people, and I didn't realize how like liberal Omaha was, but I remember
01:02:20.600
like 30 people get like, whoa, these people are pissed.
01:02:23.780
And if you went against what the, the government narrative at the time and liberals, you know,
01:02:32.780
So my, but, and at the same time you had, I mean, they were awful.
01:02:36.520
I mean, Jimmy Kimmel said the most horrible thing.
01:02:43.060
Like if you are, hey, if you have a heart problem, you're vaccinated, come right in this,
01:02:50.220
In other words, die in the hallway because you're choosing not to get an experimental
01:02:55.860
gene therapy that was developed at warped speed.
01:03:02.020
And you don't want to take, so that you die in the hallway.
01:03:04.560
I thought that was a low, the low watermark for comedy in the 21st century.
01:03:13.440
And actually, you know, Francis and I both were very critical of what.
01:03:19.080
Well, I just mean that there's a kind of clustering of opinion.
01:03:22.080
Like you, you made the point that you, there is no uniqueness to anything.
01:03:27.340
I mean, until Jon Stewart sat next to Stephen Colbert and said, you know, the Wuhan virus
01:03:38.320
We got kicked off Facebook because of saying that.
01:03:41.280
We were all excommunicated from the church of liberalism.
01:03:51.580
But I guess, I'm just, Jon Stewart to me is a very good example on this Tony Hinchcliffe
01:04:06.400
I mean, there's something that happened with Trump and happened with liberalism.
01:04:10.380
And for people who are, I mean, when they say Trump derangement syndrome, I always thought
01:04:17.080
And I really think, like, I was in an elevator with Alec Baldwin, Donald Trump, Melania, and
01:04:24.440
And then my wife were all laughing in the elevator 10 years ago at Saturday Night Live's 40th anniversary.
01:04:29.560
And then, you know, they were all loving him.
0.99
01:04:31.900
Oprah loved him and everyone, until he ran for president and they fucking hated him.
0.99
01:04:37.380
He became, so it was just, it was a thing that spun out.
01:04:41.540
