["Stranger Than Hope by The Prodigal Songstress plays"]
["Snoring"]
Mmm!
That's a wonderful sip.
You did good.
Good morning, everybody.
You know, as you can hear, I'm still sick, but I tested negative for COVID two times now.
Twice.
The wife, very little symptoms, positive.
What?
And I sleep with her.
Well, that's strange.
And other things.
But the point is, I don't, you know, before we move into anything, we have a, by the way,
an interview with Larry Elder today.
Ooh.
Which I will let you know is actually from the archive, and I don't know why we never
aired it.
It was never aired.
A few months ago, I think what just happened is we had something else, sometimes it was
maybe more topical, we had to pre-tape him because he was in Pacific Time, as I call
Yes.
And you will get to watch it and see how the exact same attacks are being used today and how he was the exact same person then.
When they're trying to say that now he's doing this for political theater, you'll watch it.
You'll be like, oh no, Larry Elder's the same guy.
Ah, nice.
But the point is with the COVID, well, let me say hello to everyone first.
Hello, Gerald A. Hi.
How are you?
Feeling better?
Are you?
I mean, no.
You said your wife might have the COVID.
Well, we're not sure.
Uh-huh.
So it was inconclusive, and they say to treat that as presumptive positive and go get a PCR test.
Oh, yeah, very nice.
And I'll get into treating it as a potential positive.
Quarter Black, you good?
Yo, what's up?
I'm good.
I'm getting better.
No Rona?
Not anymore, no.
No sickle cell?
No, none of that.
No sling blade microbes?
All washed out.
And Dave Landau, who, by the way, is going to be this Saturday in Beaverton, Michigan.
Ahoy.
How are you?
Good.
I've never been to Beaverton, but I would imagine that the audience looks something like this.
Oh no?
I thought you had a pen.
No.
It was supposed to be beavers.
It was supposed to be beavers.
It was going to be pictures of beavers.
This is a horrible start.
But here's the thing I will say.
Guys, a ton of beavers.
So many beavers.
We didn't get it on the screen.
Well, I sensed them.
They were adorable.
Well, I'm sure that by the time we were done photoshopping it, they wouldn't be so adorable.
No, that's true.
Be crazed beavers.
Come out to Beaverton.
And I have a few questions for you today.
We're going to be taking your chat after Larry Elder, but you think there are going to be some pipes bursting tonight in California?
Yeah.
Is a fortification happening?
I don't know.
You guys comment below.
Let me know before.
So do this again before you actually get the results.
Afterwards, your point is moot.
So I tested negative two times, okay?
And the lady who's doing the testing There's no term loosely.
She says, well, you know, you test a negative twice, and one was a rep, and one was more accurate.
I don't know what they are.
Anyway, she said, but because your wife has it, I would just treat it as a potential positive.
She said, so, you know, play it safe.
She said, self-quarantine.
Stay away from your kids for 10 days.
Don't go to work for two weeks.
And I go, ah, you're a liberal.
See, because you don't understand that these are life-altering changes.
Just don't be employable for two weeks.
Don't see your newborn children for 10 days.
We're all in this together.
No, we're not.
We are not.
I think it's good just to treat every disease that could exist instead of just something you might have.
It just makes common sense.
I treat polio when I have a cough.
I just go around in a wheelchair like, what's wrong?
It might be a sinus infection.
Could be polio.
Every time it rains and I get that little crick in my knee, I limp and I say, I'll be a huckleberry.
People say, what are you doing?
I say, I don't know.
TB could have been eradicated.
Maybe it wasn't.
Start shooting in the air.
So we're going to be talking about California.
We're going to be talking about some new COVID tests.
I should say COVID studies.
Studies, okay.
Which are very interesting.
And we're going to be talking about the gala of the poor, the Met Gala.
Right, yeah.
Tax the rich.
The gala of the... 30 G's a plate.
The common man's.
Yes, absolutely.
But hey, Stephen, it's for charity, though.
It's for charity.
So is Hamilton.
Hey, you know, can we take one of the most interesting historical figures in American history?
Make him gay and rap?
Sounds delightful.
What the kids want.
It'll sell out.
Um, okay, but before we get to that, leftist teachers on TikTok, and this has been something that, this is also, the reason that we show this to you guys is because people do have echo chambers.
Yeah.
And I think it's important that you see when people say, well, people have gone extreme right, people have gone extreme left, that you see the difference between, this is considered not only extreme right, but Ben Shapiro, this show, we're the Nazis, so this is as far extreme right as you get, and I want to show you What has been going viral in passes for moderate left on TikTok, where, you know, the chi-cums are spying on us.
Along with our Blackhawks from the Taliban.
We got Blackhawks from the Taliban and we destroyed a school with TikTok.
You're playing chess.
You're playing checkers.
You're so stupid.
It's in 3D.
Look, look!
The screen is slow!
More angle to see you!
So, leftist teachers on TikTok have a new theory.
The thing is, if I describe it, I'm going to be accused of racism.
Because it is!
It is racist.
But what they are presupposing is that teaching children to behave is racist.
But don't take my word for it.
I made a comment on one of Ms.
April's recent videos about PBIS, in which I stated that PBIS is white supremacy with a hug, and a lot of y'all wanted to know more about that, so here we go.
First of all, thank you to Jack Coppa, who reminded me that Dina Simmons was the first to coin this term, so thank you, Jack, so much.
So if PBIS concerns itself with positive behaviors, we have to ask ourselves, okay, well, what are those positive behaviors?
And it's things like making sure that you're following directions and making sure that you're sitting quietly and you are in your seat and all these things that come from white culture.
The idea of just sitting quiet and being told stuff and taking things in in a passive stance is not a thing that's in with many cultures.
So if we're positively enforcing these behaviors, we are by extension positively enforcing elements of white culture, which therefore keeps whiteness at the center, which is the definition of white supremacy.
You can't say that, first off, this same-sex-attracted David Ogg, I don't know the proper term, shouldn't ever say the word whiteness without accompanying it with this.
I don't think I've seen any.
This is just another way of saying that black people yell out at movies!
It really is.
Could've burned your jiffy pop, bitch!
And by the way, if whiteness is at the center, it is not supremacy.
Supremacy is on top, you moron, you teacher.
Everything else is below.
If it's just a part of everything else, it's not supremacy.
I took issue with that!
How about the next time the kid's on Rulie, you treat him like Big Mama and just beat the shit out of him?
Go get a Switch!
Kick your Switch out the tree!
You ever seen a kid reach for, like, a candy bar at a grocery store and you're like, oh man, this is gonna hurt.
But I'm gonna watch.
Here's the thing, though, as well.
I don't entirely disagree.
We've talked about this in the sense that young boys, it's not a race thing, and this is what happens, right?
This is how they try and conflate race and gender.
So I've talked about this in the past when I used to say, look, I don't think that same-sex marriage is the same as heterosexual.
Marriage.
Doesn't mean that I don't want kids to be in a household.
I'd rather them be in a household than in the system.
But I think the ideal is with a mother and a father.
And they would say, well, that's the same argument people used against interracial marriage.
I say, that's a complete red herring.
Why?
I don't believe that a white mother can provide something that a black mother couldn't.
I believe that a mother can provide something that a man can't.
I believe that men and women are intrinsically different.
And men and women, and boys and girls, learn differently.
That's true.
It's not Black and white.
Young boys don't typically learn sitting and taking notes.
That's why they score lower throughout all of their formative years, right?
Grade school, junior high, high school, and then blow girls out of the water in the SATs when they can study on their own time and using their own methods.
So, it's important to know.
Yeah, I think, why don't, let's find some common ground there.
Reform the way we educate young boys.
Yeah.
Or be racist.
You gonna let kids run roughshod over the school, though?
Like, sitting there and being quiet?
Okay, so they just get to run around with their hair on fire?
I've seen those videos.
Yeah.
Does that sound like learning to you?
I don't know.
Pretty interesting.
I saw the substitutes with, uh, what's Tom Berringer?
Yeah.
If I throw one of these kids out of the window, how many do we have left?
I saw the substitute two and three with Treat Williams.
Really?
God didn't say!
Joe, be polite!
Well it really is.
It's a different movie.
Yeah there's that uh what was it 187 where they're all doing Russian roulette at the end of the movie?
I have no idea.
Yes you do.
Let's move on to more white supremacy.
Dead poet society.
I have a criticism of this next person who happens to have uh more melanin in the skin as Nick Cannon refers to it.
And a wig.
Oh.
Ooh.
Is that true?
Cordobelic?
It's definitely a wig.
He married it.
Oh I have no idea.
100% that's a wig.
See I'm gonna do what that former gay TikTok Whiteness!
I don't know how to identify weaves.
Does Nick Cannon still have Bigfoot tattooed on his back?
I have no idea.
That is a big woman he married.
Sturdy girl, that Mariah Carey.
Not a woman.
Joy Reid was really mad talking about Nicki Minaj from the Met Gala.
Oh yeah.
Because Nicki Minaj, and by the way this is something that they don't really often talk about, the fact that you have black Americans who are actually probably the demographic that are the single most vaccine hesitant.
Yeah.
It's not Republicans, not conservatives, but black Americans, because they're like, well, you know, syphilis, all this stuff that the government kind of did.
We don't really trust you.
You've been telling us, right, to try and really sort of comb our entire community for votes.
The entire system is oppressive and racist.
So we don't really trust you now.
It's like, no, trust us when it comes to this vaccine that we put in your arm.
They don't.
However, they let the mask slip a little bit when Joy Reid Was furious yesterday talking about Nicki Minaj at the Met Gala because she didn't want to get the vaccine.
Here you go.
And people like Nicki Minaj, I have to say this.
You have a platform, sister, that is 22 million followers.
Okay?
I have 2 million followers.
You have 22 million followers on Twitter.
For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives?
My God, sister, you could do better than that.
You got that platform.
It's a blessing.
It's a blessing that you got that.
That people listen to you.
And they listen to you more than they listen to me.
Solution.
How about you both just shut the hell up?
Let's find some common ground.
I think I got to go with Nicki Minaj on this, though.
I think she has the right to use her platform for how she feels.
Yeah, well, she had a friend who she said, she said the balls were swollen.
It's 2021.
So you have to ask if the friend was male.
Yeah, I don't I don't agree that a friend got elephant balls.
Is it a male?
What's the matter with you?
You mean a person with balls?
A person.
A person.
A balling person.
Balling person.
Person with a penis, guys.
Person with a penis?
Y'all mean a man?
No.
No.
Y'all mean a human man?
No.
Nikki.
Not talking about frogs, asexual and shit.
This ain't Jurassic Park.
Of course it's a man.
He got balls.
Nikki.
The out-of-touch, the out-of-touch nature of the Democrats with the black community today is unbelievable.
If you were to poll the black community on LGBTQ A-A-I-P, you'd be like, WHAT?!
Right?
You poll them, they want more policing, 86% want as much policing or more, you poll them on government-mandated vaccines, you poll them on overall trust of government, you would think that it was the January 6th insurrectionists.
What is the poll that you're doing?
A, yes, B, no, C, WHAT?!
How do you spell that?
How many things are you going to add to that letters?
That's too many letters.
GQ, Pew, what?
Bowls and shit.
So this is something that happened on CNN, too.
We're going to get to the Met Gala, because I just think the Met Gala is perfect.
This morning, the CEO of the Texas Association of Business, Glenn Hammer, look, he was on CNN, and this is why this is important.
You know, we always try and make sure that you guys are aware of what's going on, again, in the opposite side's echo chamber.
CNN, and they're not MSNBC, they're supposed to be neutral.
This is a moment that we were watching.
You were watching this this morning, right?
Yeah, I was.
We were watching it live.
We said, you got to pull this clip where it's someone who walked out this host with her DNC talking points and in no way was prepared for the most basic Forward, statistically accurate response, and then tried to backpedal.
I don't know that you have a more perfect example of how, again, out of touch and out of think the left is.
Here you go.
Yeah, I just want to highlight one of your arguments.
You say the vaccine is the most effective way to prevent the transmission of COVID-19, of course, right?
It's also the way to get the Texas economy back on its feet.
I mean, if you just go back to the economic, how do you...
Glenn, my question is, oh, OK, my question is, how do you OK, but it can't me.
Let me ask my question.
You tell me what how did how does it help anyone if someone leaves a larger company, goes to a smaller company or just drops out of the labor force?
I mean, this is a half-baked proposal.
No one will see coming.
Half-baked.
Everyone knows that it was terrible process is going to be challenged.
in the courts and you know I don't think this was the this was a terrible process.
We want people to get vaccinated. The president should have brought people together and said he
did something unfortunately that continues to divide us. We'll see where this conversation goes.
No the conversation ended.
She didn't realize.
She goes, this is the way to get the Texas economy.
What are you talking about?
Oh, oh, oh, you're in New York.
Yeah, you don't understand.
Or maybe she's in DC.
I have no idea.
But no, it's not California.
It's not New York.
Don't you understand?
This is when people say, for example, if someone argues overpopulation, you should go drive across the country.
If they say the economy's been decimated, you say, oh, drive across the country.
They have no idea.
We talked about this yesterday with Ben Shapiro.
Look, you can look at this on a state-by-state basis.
States like Texas have done well.
States like California, states like New York have not.
She wasn't ready for that.
It hadn't even occurred to her.
She just didn't pull basic economic data.
She was like, what?
She tried to say, what's the way to optimize Texas's economic future?
I don't know.
You know what?
I'm going to answer your question with a question.
Should we do it like California?
Yeah.
How do you think that's going for you?
I thought we were going to stay successful, but what do you think we should do?
We're open to suggestions.
I feel like she's like, haven't you been watching us tell how scary this is and you guys are still open?
Have you considered a tent city?
Well, we got some in Austin.
Do you have a sanctuary?
Do you have overpasses in Texas?
Huh?
How many people can you fit under there?
Yeah, the cartel hangs people from because our economy's awesome.
Hey, by the way, look, we're going to move on to the Met Gal here.
Podcast, you can listen to the podcast in case any of this stuff gets in trouble on YouTube or on Apple, Android, Spotify.
And the best way to tune in, hit the notification bell, but it's a live show, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
Eastern.
Make it a part of your routine, live, without a net, like Chris O'Donnell in Batman and Robin.
What?
When his parents died.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And again, my question is, what do you think is going to happen with the California election?
So let's continue with this.
AOC.
I can't help myself.
Do you think that the Democrats feel the way about AOC, like that Republicans feel, conservatives feel about the QAnon shaman?
Or do you think they really think that she's rejuvenating their base?
No.
See, I disagree.
I think that the Democrats want her.
I think she's a useful idiot for them right now.
Sure.
As long as they get votes, eventually they're gonna cast her out, but if she gets too powerful, she will eat them.
Yeah, but the QAnon shaman to us is a useless idiot.
Oh, that's true, yeah.
She's funny.
I think they know, yeah, if she becomes the leader of Heaven's Gate, they're like, you sure we gotta cut it off?
Have we gone too far?
I think she can still stump for me, I don't know.
I was with you until, why can't I bring it on the spaceship with me?
What's this weird smell in the Kool-Aid?
So, yesterday she attended the Commons Man Gala, uh, the AOC Gala.
Basically.
Yeah, it is.
That's what we'll call it.
Yeah, the AOC Gala.
Wearing this truly inspiring dress.
My guy tax the rich.
Oh, she can read.
What a model, AOC.
I didn't know you model as well.
Damn.
I love how she's acting like Taylor Swift winning her 19th award.
I love how she's acting like everyone there isn't rich.
Isn't it funny, guys?
Not really.
Which, by the way, is a little different from her fellow squad member, Ilhan Omar, who took a different route and made an even bigger splash with her dress.
Smash the patriarchy.
And your brother.
Which seems almost like an admission.
On the nose there, Elon.
So to carry on with Dave's point, quick reminder here.
Met Gala tickets actually do go for about $30,000.
Yikes!
And I know you're saying, oh, well hold on a second, it's a fundraiser.
Sure, it goes to the Museum's Costume Institute.
I'm just glad that we can get that done.
And I say this as a man who owns a studio where we have an entire back room full of really weird costumes.
But they're cheap.
It's not lost on me.
There should be no endowment to the arts.
Let me just say that.
There should be no... Look, if you guys want to raise money for charity, sure.
But here's the thing.
They bitch about the church.
So Samaritan's Purse, for example, who they bitch about and complain he's a Christian fundamentalist, go into Liberia when Ebola has a 50% mortality rate.
The only private organization, I believe, the only non-government entity to go in and serve people, churches, the American church, the most charitable institution in the history of the world, not just the United States of America, Far more charitable than the government.
They create soup kitchens.
They help members of their church.
They reach out to the community.
These people spend $30,000 a ticket.
Although, let's be honest, a lot of them are comped.
It's the plebs who pay the $30,000 ticket to go to more hyperly gay TikTok-esque fashion.
It's expensive to look like that.
Yeah, but they dress homeless people in Peter Pan costumes.
That's true.
And if the gala's any indication, there'll be more outfits like these.
This is what we're talking about.
Oh, that's such a terrible... What is that in the middle?
What's on the left there?
He looks sad.
What the hell?
This was Kim Kardashian, actually.
That was Kim Kardashian?
That's the newest fashion in Kabul right now.
That looks like it was a mistake.
fancy job yeah that's the the newest fashion in Kabul right now yeah oh she
that was it that looks like it was a mistake like I said green morph suit
It's the Blue Man Group!
I wanted to have a trash can, but... Hey guys, it's Black Man Group.
Get it?
It's my dating history!
Oh boy.
You ain't black.
Back to AOC, though, and it's a good point.
This is a lady, this is a broad, if I may, and I may, who sells tax-the-rich sweatshirts for $58.
Wow.
58.
Back in 2020, she wore a $14,000 outfit for her Vogue photo shoot.
It doesn't matter.
You're trying to make people feel... What about the self-esteem issue?
You're trying to make people feel lesser than for not having a $14,000 outfit.
You think that it's harmful to people's self-esteem, you know, not having a BMI over 40 on a magazine?
What about putting a $14,000 dress?
On a magazine.
By the way, illegally parked her Tesla.
I don't know if there's anything more elitist than illegally parking your Tesla behind a Whole Foods that's only two blocks down.
No.
That's insane.
What a jerk.
I can't.
It'd be like the equivalent to the most diverse human being ever.
It's like that's a single black mother amputee from Detroit who's trans with rickets.
You're like, well, that checks all the boxes.
That's something I don't have here.
It's like parking your Bentley on a homeless man.
Will you watch this while I go in?
Do you need us to validate parking?
No!
Skid row!
I have to get fair trade coffee.
I'm sorry you're bleeding.
I have to get slave-free chocolate.
Excuse me while I run over Jamie Foxx playing a violin?
I don't know.
I wish I loved anything as much as AOC loves running over homeless men.
I don't think anybody does love anything that much.
And she still owes, by the way, $2,000 in taxes from 2020 for a failed publishing company.
Look, you can pay those taxes!
You suckle at the government, teet!
She owes taxes?
Yes!
I thought as American citizens, if we owed taxes, they came for us.
They came knocking on the doors.
The good thing is... I'll give her two grand.
She spray-painted a white dress at a $30,000 gala, where they will give it to other costumes, which they consider fashion.
But her abuela still doesn't have a roof.
But there was a GoFundMe for that!
I thought we took care of this issue.
It wasn't allowed to go.
I know, I'm just saying.
Yeah, it wasn't allowed to go because she was offended by it.
I thought she was shamed into at least paying for the roof and saying, no, no, Boyla, I'll take care of it.
Oh, no, no, no, she has no shame.
Didn't you see the video that we showed?
You must have fallen asleep.
She illegally parked her Tesla at a Whole Foods two blocks down.
Did you miss that part?
You heard that, right?
Oh, I didn't, yeah.
Well, she was going to go to Whole Foods later.
Right.
Oh, well, I mean, it would be... Here's the thing, what I'm saying is she perpetuates all of the negative stereotypes.
She does.
Whereas the ones on the right don't really exist, certainly not as far as someone in office.
It would be like if I started a house fire by resting my tiki torch because I had to go pick up my Klan's hood.
That would be the right wing extremist version of parking your Tesla illegally at a Whole Foods two blocks away.
And it wasn't even February!
It is acceptable in federal law.
It's cold!
And here's the way, too, by the way, another blatant display of hypocrisy at the Met Gala was, here's something, too, people don't understand, the elitists, only the workers had to wear masks!
Only the workers were wearing masks!
You have a bunch of celebrities out there in multi, I don't know, tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars, in outfits, not wearing masks.
Only the workers serving them wear masks, except for J. Lo and Ben Affleck, because They just had to out-gay the fellow TikToker.
I just think this is, look, you wonder why Republicans, you wonder why Donald Trump has picked up the Blue Dog Democrats?
It's because people, whether you understand this or not, people don't want to be sermonized to about taxing the rich and the wealthy from people who are at an event that looks, it looks like a glorified Hunger Games.
That's exactly, look, exactly, that's exactly what it is.
Wow, that's not even a stretch.
That's literally what it is.
Well, except it's weirder on the left.
It is!
We've officially passed the Hunger Games.
We're way past fashionable.
We're gonna start killing kids.
AOC did try to get out ahead of this though, Stephen.
She did say that, you know, I know people are gonna say I was at this event, but celebrities and local politicians get invited to these things all the time.
And they are killing kids.
They're just not out yet.
Right.
They're doing all of the above.
Just in the back room.
Gosh.
And don't you love, too, that the tax rate keeps changing?
Like Joe Biden, when it was Barack Obama, and every family, when he was VP, every family making over $300,000 a year, and now he's president, and anyone making over $400,000 a year.
Really?
What happens at $400,000?
Yeah, and anyone making over $400,000 a year.
Really?
Well, what happens to $400,000?
Well, that's my salary cap.
What a dick.
It's so transparent.
Just tell us what you want.
So tax the rich.
Okay, fine.
Take all their money.
Do it today.
We've already talked about this.
It won't pay for your programs, AOC.
Look, you guys come and tell me where you think the top marginal tax rate should start.
I just don't believe that we should create a system based on envy, People try and say, oh, greed, it's selfish.
Actually, I don't think that greed is a synonym for success.
I think that taking someone else's money that you haven't earned, ill-gotten gain, is envy.
I think that those two are interchangeable.
But greed can also be power, which she's clearly into that.
Yeah, that's very true.
We really are at a point here where they want to pit everyone against each other based on money and then hope that you don't understand that they are a part of this elite ruling class.
Yeah.
Well, Robert Reich is along that same ilk.
He always tweets out, like, I can't believe Jeff Bezos makes a hundred and something thousand dollars per minute.
And I'm like, I can.
You shut down the entire economy and basically we had Amazon and that was it.
Everybody uses Amazon and they love it.
Then you quit your job in the 90s when you see something coming.
Put all your money into something.
Build a company.
Create something.
He's allowed to make the money that he made because he's the one that took the risk to make that money.
I wouldn't be out there building penis rockets, but that's just me.
Also, I think they need to do it without subsidies.
I prefer a car.
Yeah, you might prefer a car.
No, I agree, but that's the whole... Let's put the difference.
Penis car.
That's the whole point, though.
People don't have a plan.
Ambiguously gay duo penis car.
Right.
Were we saying true?
I was about to say, these people don't have a plan.
They just want a slogan.
The fact that they talk about the top 1% of Americans, this is a self-defeating argument.
Let me explain to you what I mean.
They are talking about the rich here in America, because guess who's part of the top 1% anywhere else globally?
Is the average American.
Poor Americans.
So the fact that they are holding Americans to a higher standard of, well, the top 1%.
Oh, so anyone making over $33,000 a year?
No, no, we mean the top 1% of America.
Oh, the country that you hate, which is the only country that has afforded people the opportunity to be in the top 1% of the globe.
And then we're talking about the top 1% of America.
That's the top 0.001.
It's almost a COVID mortality rate.
Almost.
Yeah, 30 grand is the line, too.
It's something like $33,000.
Someone can bring that up in the control room.
I think it's if you're making over $33,000, you're in the top, I don't know if it's 10% or 1% globally.
But this country, that is, we have far too much wealth inequality.
We are lagging behind other countries.
You are using the standard that this country created exclusively.
And I know some people will point to some Scandinavian countries.
This is something we've also talked about.
Swedish Americans have a higher quality of living and make more money than Swedes in Sweden.
Same thing for Danish Americans.
They created what they have under free market economies and then migrated towards sort of a hybridized socialism.
But the point is, if someone says, tax the rich and they mean the rich in America, isn't that nice?
For globalist people, for people who want global government, the UN, right?
They want us to share the same currency.
For these people to somehow, well, no, hold on a second.
We're going to create the dividing lines by American standards.
Because, well, you know, significantly higher.
The same applies to mortality rates in hospitals.
The same applies to quality of care.
The same applies to technological innovation.
We are graded on a curve.
And America is, it's blown past everybody else, historically.
All right, now we can move on to the COVID, which is fun.
Yippee!
Ooh!
Are we talking about you, or?
I don't, I mean, I tested.
We get a COVID update on you?
Look, I might have it, but I told everyone here, I tested negative twice.
Yeah.
That's good enough for me.
I mean, I don't think you should be kissing Dave, but nonetheless, I think that's close enough.
Liberace tested negative twice, too.
I blame the puppets.
Freddie Mercury.
Mom, my wife has it, but also one of my relatives, I will say.
Her husband had it.
Yeah.
And she was looking for an exemption from the vaccine for something that I won't get into, but she actually has a medical condition.
My wife has GBS, and so anyway, you guys can sort of make your own inferences.
I don't want to give away too much information, but I heard her on the phone talking about the exemption with the other person who, you know, the other Karen on the other end of the line saying, no, you can't get an exemption.
And she said, look, look, look, my husband had it, okay, for a week and a half.
I slept in the same bed with him, and I screwed him!
and didn't get it. She didn't say screwed.
It's a good point though. Yeah. Yeah. Some, look, we don't know why some people have
more of a proclivity toward horrible symptoms than other people. We know if you're obese,
that's obviously a delineating factor. And if you're older, but outside of that, there are
some, it's rare, there are some younger, healthier people who could be blood type, we don't know.
There are a lot of doctors, like we don't know why some people have a reaction, others don't.
Tested negative twice, my wife has fewer symptoms, tested positive.
Isn't that with everything too?
I guess!
When you really think about it, I mean, some people get cancer, they beat it, some people, you know, don't.
If these are fake, if these are false negatives, and I'm actually positive, I would describe this as a moderate cold.
Okay.
My wife just had a fever and she was tired.
That would be great if you guys ended up with a very, very low kind of symptom thing, because then you have the antibodies and you're good to go.
Well, you know, both my parents had it recently.
They're better now, though, right?
They're totally fine.
Well, my dad was fine no matter what.
I was worried about my mom because she's had pneumonia before and she has asthma and bronchitis.
They're fine.
Totally fine.
Totally anecdotal, totally anecdotal.
Used a cocktail of Ivermectin, whatever else they had.
My dad was already improving, but then went and did the antibody treatment, the monoclonal antibody treatment, which was dismissed as quackery not that long ago.
Or then it was also dismissed as something that only the elitists Could use.
It's free in Texas.
That's insane.
My parents are dead.
Let's talk more about your healthy parents.
Your living parents.
Yeah, but like you said yesterday, that's probably not a bad thing, considering what's going on here in America.
No, no.
I'm glad they're gone.
I am so glad that there are very few World War II vets left.
Oh, yeah.
I can't imagine the ones that are.
Could you imagine the greatest generation putting up with this crap?
No.
What in holy hell?
You can just see that scene in Private Ryan.
Earned this!
Some guy in Folsom Street Fair.
Yeah.
No!
No!
I was wrong.
I meant like a longer lasting light bulb or something.
Oh, we developed LEDs!
You ruined Christmas!
I was like at the end of Saving Private Ryan where he's going to the cemetery and you can tell that his granddaughters are just bored.
They just don't realize.
He was going for realism.
They were on their early flip sidekicks.
Yeah, they're just like, that's just stupid.
Granddad fell again, somebody.
Oh my god, he's so dumb.
He fought for our freedom.
Why are we here?
We don't know the soldier.
Yeah, seriously.
War is like a million years away.
We're never going to have that again.
For crying out loud.
I'm a dude, by the way.
I'm a man.
I mean, I still got my period, but I'm a man.
Today.
I'm on TikTok.
I have a lot of followers.
Grandpa has none.
He doesn't have any followers.
He's so lame.
You lose.
My friend went to the Met Gala.
She had a dress that looked like a swan and sang like this.
She's super cool.
It's 30 grand a plate.
Pretty cool.
Yeah.
But I couldn't wish she couldn't eat because she's a pescatarian.
Sometimes I cut myself.
It's a different story.
It just makes me feel... How sharp is this gravestone?
By the way, I've never, just so we, before we move on to COVID, talk about death.
This is not, I've decided what I'm going, you know, you've asked me, like, what do I want to do when I die?
No, we have a plan.
No, but now I have a different plan.
No, that's a different plan.
No, that's to kill me.
Oh, okay.
That's to kill me.
Well, no, but it's if you're going to die anyway.
If I'm going to die anyway.
Let's discuss this in depth.
Yes.
But then I told my wife that I don't really, she was like, do you want to be cremated?
Do you want to?
Because in French Canada, they almost always do open casket.
My wife is, they've often been cremated.
I said, I don't care.
You'll leave me out for the trash on Tuesday.
It doesn't really make a difference to me.
But now I know exactly what I want to do because there's a cemetery that has like pre-Civil War gravestones around here.
You know what I'm talking about?
I was thinking it would be really cool, like, there's a mausoleum, you know, in there, and I said, I want the biggest mausoleum that we can get at the cemetery, and when people go in, I want someone to accurately, you know, accurate to scale, replicate my body, only a little bit decomposed, and make it like a haunted house.
Yeah!
So they want to pay respects and just... I like it.
That's a good idea, yeah.
Then they have to go through and, like, people jump out at them.
So even in the afterlife, I'll be busting people's balls.
Make sure the ass is to scale as well.
We'll have to have a counterweight.
So this is a new study.
And by the way, this is a new study that comes on the heels of two other studies.
And to be clear, this study involved thousands, thousands of cases that were reviewed.
Now, it's not definitive.
I just want to be clear.
But it does matter.
In other words, this may not be entirely definitive, that it doesn't tell you everything.
Then again, neither does CNN.
So a new preprint study published by The Atlantic, the indication was that 50% of COVID hospitalizations
may be mild or asymptomatic cases.
So they looked at 50,000 hospital admissions for COVID with the VA, to be clear.
Now I know what you're saying, because I'll get to that in a second.
The VA, there aren't as many women or children, though that's the next step.
They're gonna allow 14 year olds to, it's gonna be a camouflage propeller cap.
But this is something I've talked about.
I talked about with, remember, Ben Shapiro, I mean, years ago, really, at this point, at the start of the pandemic, a year and a half ago, I said, the number that matters is death per capita.
And I repeated it yesterday.
We've talked about this the entire way through.
Why?
Because you can't, well, you still can manipulate those numbers if it's death with COVID, but it's far less prone to manipulation than cases, because right now we don't even really, I mean, I just tested negative twice, but they said treat it like a positive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do they list that as a positive because my wife is positive in the household?
Yeah, they have to report it.
I have no idea.
How many tests does that count as?
When they talk about hospital admissions, we'll get here in a second, guess what?
If you're admitted to a hospital because you're getting tested at a hospital, let's say there's no place around you that has rapid testing, the only place is a hospital and you test positive for COVID, that, in many instances, is a hospitalization for COVID, right?
So this is important.
This doesn't give you the whole picture.
Deaths per capita Gives you a more clear picture provided we have the criteria that is clear as to what constitutes a death with COVID as opposed to from COVID.
For example, the guy who tried to blow his own head off with a shotgun shouldn't count, but he did!
The guy who got into a motorcycle wreck and happened to have COVID shouldn't count, but it did!
Still!
There's less foul play with the deaths per capita.
So they looked at 50,000 hospital admissions for COVID at the VA, and they found that 45% of unvaccinated patients had completely asymptomatic or very mild symptoms versus 57% of the vaccinated.
So either way, that's about half had no symptoms or very mild.
Now, this is not... and a very small percentage of those people actually ended up dying.
So we need to be clear about this.
That means that half of these hospital admissions, when you're hearing about it, Are just people going, do I have COVID?
Oh, okay.
All right, what do I do?
Go home, drink fluid?
All right.
Yeah, because I think they- That's half!
They only bring you in if you're sick, sick, right?
Like until you get a bed and a room and everything.
Well, you would think so, but no.
Not if 50% are asymptomatic or very mild cases.
In other words, at the VA, they were counting these as hospital admissions because someone was in the hospital who happened to have COVID.
Why would they admit you if you have no symptoms?
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
You're like, hey, I'm not feeling well.
Do I have COVID?
And then versus, I feel great.
Do I have COVID?
Right.
Yeah.
It doesn't make any sense.
Why are you there?
So, and this is also important.
Well, that's a good point.
Here's why I think some people go there right now.
They're afraid.
These are completely unrelated.
vaccine mandate in the United States, right? 100 employees or more. You have to force them to be
vaccinated or according to Joe Biden, according to Fauci, he's giving them an off lane. It's being
moderate. Test them every week. At a cost of... The second that was announced, find a test within
50 miles of your house. We can't.
Like a rapid response.
I was texting you yesterday.
Well, no home tests.
And not home.
And actually, the drive-thru tests as well, that they would have at a lot of pharmacies, not available here.
There was a new emergency care, not emergency room, urgent care clinic that had some.
And that's just because they were new and nobody knew about them yet.
Remember, I sent it to you.
Yeah, yeah.
Right down the block from there was an urgent care that's been around for a while, that gets a good amount of traffic.
No tests.
Completely unrelated.
But the reason why is, if your only chance at getting a test, go into a hospital.
Oh, you've been admitted.
By the way, my wife tried calling that place and they said they would only give you a test if you had symptoms.
Meaning like you were, you were sick-sick.
Like, if you were, you could demonstrate that you were sick.
She's like, I have some symptoms.
Like, no, but you look fine.
Really?
Yeah.
Hold on, this is stupid!
Anything is a symptom now.
It's like, alright, look, if you have a sore throat, you don't have a sore throat, you have congested nasal cavity, tired, headache, chills, fever, feel cold, feel hot, stomach distress, irritated bunghole, and, uh, is being a pussy on there?
I feel like a big pussy.
Do I have COVID?
Not saying that it's not a serious virus.
I'm just saying that we are getting a fuller picture of the numbers.
So by the way, people will say this doesn't include children.
This comes from two other studies that we wanted to cover on the show, but because of The rules on YouTube and everything.
We said, well, you know what?
It's not rigorous enough until we have more to add to it.
So there were two exclusively pediatric studies, to be clear.
So now we've got the VA, and it comes on the heels of two pediatric studies.
These were published in May.
Found that 40 to 45% of all pediatric hospital admissions were cases where COVID was incidental, meaning they were being admitted, and you can go to loudearthcracker.com, right?
We have the link in the description.
You can go read the sources.
That means that they were being admitted for something else like cancer or a psychiatric
episode, which by the way, these have increased because of quarantine, isolation, people aren't
going to school and they happen to test positive for COVID.
That's again, 40 to 45%.
Wow.
COVID was incidental.
They didn't even go because of COVID or have symptoms.
That's insane.
Everyone gets a COVID test if you're admitted right now in the hospital.
Are you saying locking kids up and making them wear masks and scaring them is somehow hurting them psychologically?
No.
I don't know.
We should ask Kim Kardashian in her Met Gala outfit.
I don't see a connection.
What are you supposed to be, Kim?
The American economy.
Also, the last guy I dated.
And the guy before him.
And before him.
You gotta think that Robert Kardashian's just looking up from hell going, I shouldn't have gotten O.J.
off.
Well, I guess karma is a bitch.
It's just kind of ironic.
I got out just in time.
You know, I thought it was sad when I started to get sick, but now I'm just glad.
You know?
She's married a guy who calls himself Yeezus.
Still don't even know what that means.
I've met him, and I only met him so that he could say bye.
My family's terrible.
Here, we'll go to this.
The California recall election today.
Oh yes, today!
Or, as it's known by the American Plumbers Association, ka-ching!
Pipe's going out.
Pipe's breaking.
Alright, there we go.
Sorry.
Mario?
Fortification.
I'm picking it up.
Little too highbrow.
I'm a little slow, I'm sorry.
Little too highbrow.
Let's go back to joking about Kardashians dating people of color.
Yeah, that's not obvious.
And I made it.
I don't find that humorous.
Neither do I. There's nothing funny about the Kardashians.
Nope.
Or interracial relationships.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Of course there's nothing wrong with it, that's why there's nothing funny about it.
I know, that's why I'm not laughing.
It's beautiful.
And brave.
Always.
I don't know how to get out of this one.
Because I actually don't.
You seem genuine.
How do I get out?
I don't care who they date.
No, of course not.
I just, you know, maybe they're crazy.
The young ones.
You know, actually, I got so much flack from the actual, this is where I found out that white supremacists were a
thing, actual neo-Nazis.
Yeah.
Back when they were known as what they were.
When I tweeted out maybe years ago, I said, you know, if my daughter brought home, and this is before I had children, I
said, if my daughter brought home a black man from church, I'd certainly be happier than if she brought home a white
man from the dive bar.
And they're like, oh my gosh, I can't believe this cuck.
And it's like, what?
What?
Hold on a second.
Oh, yeah, no, no, this is the falling down.
I'm nothing like you.
And then they realized that I wasn't Jewish.
A lot of neo-Nazis thought I was Jewish, so they started sending anti-Semitic things.
And when they realized that I wasn't Jewish, they started photoshopping swastikas on me to try and say that I hated Jews.
And then the professor picked that up.
And then it got picked up by professors, and they refused to retract it, and the schools never reprimanded professors because there's no accountability for the left.
And Twitter still let those posts up!
Photoshopped with fake quotes and swastikas with horribly racist quotes.
You should have explained to them, like, listen.
No?
Nothing?
Okay, there we go.
You should have just told them, look, if they were both in church, I would clearly have gone with the white guy.
I'm not an insane person.
You're gonna tell me nobody went to that?
Come on.
I want to see some of me in my grandkid.
Come on, of course it's a joke.
What, you get to have a tan all the time and I gotta deal with this porcelain skin?
This burning toilet skin?
It's pretty nice.
You gotta admit, any racial's the way to go, because you just get your tan all year.
Well, you gotta admit that, I will say, of and having just had two white babies, White babies aren't the cutest.
No, sadly no.
Like Asian babies.
Oh, they're the best.
Like Bill's little boy, half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond.
Adorable.
Yeah.
When I first saw Magnus, I went... He just had a little bit of a rough day!
I mean, come on!
He looked like Satan in the cracked desert in Passion of the Christ in the crowd.
I've never wanted, like, babies.
No, no.
It's like, do you want to hold my kid?
And I'm like, no, I don't want to.
I don't know.
I just don't want to.
I don't want to hurt it.
Never mind.
I don't.
I just want to hold my kid.
Can I drop it?
Then no.
Yeah.
So the California Recall is happening today for people who are watching.
You may be watching this tomorrow.
So I don't know this is happening in the morning.
It is 10 55 a.m.
Eastern.
And let's give some updates here.
We have to be really, really, really clear.
Very clear.
That, uh...
This is a hard show today.
It really is.
My mind's just all over.
Alright, let me just show the clip first.
So yesterday some voters, so you don't have to take my word for it, take a look, it's in the clip.
El Camino Real Charter High School.
Real.
Real.
It's spelled real.
It's El Camino, that should be the, you know, oh it's not just real.
You're such an This is America, Gerald.
The school is a car truck.
He's a little slow because he had a late night at the Met Gala!
It's El Real.
That was the name of the guy who served you crab cakes on the tin with a double mask.
That was Raul.
Gasping for breath.
Alright, it's El Camino Real Charter High School.
They were told, this is a report from not me, that there were issues with the ballots.
Must not watch this show.
showed up to vote this morning in the special california governor recall
election and we're told that computers show they had already cast
their ballots so i want what
staffers i was a little apologetic helpful but those voters we talked to
are extremely concerned suspicious and wanting answers
so wait a second told that they already voted
So it's going to be the most secure recall in election history?
Yeah.
Fortified!
Absolutely.
Safe and secure.
Just make sure that we're all on the same page.
Safe and secure.
Break that pipe.
Then get the suitcase.
Who knows what else?
Okay.
Mushrooms with feet.
On that same note, Ashley Babbitt allegedly received...
Allegedly.
Yeah.
Three ballots at her former address.
Huh.
That's weird.
One for her.
Strange.
The photo was tweeted by the Twitter account for Ashley.
That raises money, by the way, for Ashley and her family's legal fund.
For people who don't remember Ashley Babbitt as the lady who was shot in the Capitol.
The only person to die on January 6th during the insurrection.
Yeah.
Or as the Capitol Police refer to it, and the Congressional Democrats, mighty good shooting.
Justified, that's what they call it.
And just to be clear, I just want to be very very clear, there has never ever been any instances recorded of fraud in any election ever in the history of the United States of America.
It has never happened and so I assume that these reports that you've seen from multiple different news outlets and receipts Of course, should not be seen with your own eyes.
All sources available at ladderwithcutter.com.
And there is no proof that there has ever been.
Not even just elections.
The government is beyond reproach.
There's nothing corrupt.
You know, people say power corrupts.
You know what?
I think investigative reporting corrupts.
How about that?
That's what I say.
Why are you so busy investigating other people's business, caring about legitimacy?
What are you hiding?
Yeah.
Why are you so nosy?
Yeah!
Sunshine is poison.
It's not a disinfectant.
What skeleton ballots are in your closet?
The best things happen in the shadows.
Come on.
So, Justin- Hannity was elected not by the Mafia.
Yes.
And he was shot by Oswald.
And of course no bootlegging.
So outside of that point, separate issue, Janine Guerrero.
Am I saying that right there, Gerald?
Guerrero.
Janine Guerrero.
I don't care.
I don't think you have to gurgle.
Last name sounds like a pitcher.
Eddie's sister?
It wasn't a long-term plan, to be really clear.
course, Larry Elder is running against Gavin Newsom. Larry Elder is a Republican candidate.
We're going to have an interview from the archives here in just a few minutes. And it's
fascinating to go back and see what he was saying just before this. He was kind of called
on running for governor. It wasn't a long-term plan, to be really clear.
Jeanine Guerrero on CNN, of course, referred to the black candidate who was pelted with
eggs by a Gavin Newsom supporter in a gorilla costume.
You would think if you're looking, look, if this were on the back of a children's menu, let's say at IHOP And it would show you the gorilla costume throwing eggs at a black man, and then it would show you just a black man, and it would ask you to identify the differences, and one of them is which one's a white supremacist.
Well, CNN would fail the back of the IHOP menu because, well, here you go.
He has been able to reach the minority of voters in California who embrace his white supremacist Wait, so hold on a second.
And he's co-opted this line by my fellow columnist From from the headline, you know calling him the black face
of white supremacy but he refuses to engage with the actual substance of our
reporting, you know the idea that he his I his Views were shaped by a well-known white supremacist named
Jared Taylor who wait so hold on a second. She just said black face
of white supremacy So
She's a stupid person Yeah.
I just had an aneurysm.
Correct.
He is the black face of white supremacy.
Think about that.
What?
Think about what she just said.
He, of course, these persons, they've infected him and so he must be a white supremacist even though he's still black.
I thought that that was an oxymoron.
I feel that same way every time I go to Costco and I see a bag that says jumbo shrimp.
This is the most obviously terrible attack to throw at him because it's the most idiotic, right?
It's stupid.
Calling a black person a white supremacist simply because you don't like their policies.
It's worse than what we saw with Ben Carson calling him an Uncle Tom and all those different things that we saw with some of the representatives in Kentucky as well.
It's like, what are you saying?
Because it wasn't enough.
Look, this is the only play that the left has.
Of course!
People don't understand this, and we'll go to Larry Elder and Arkin, so you will see these attacks were being used at him just when he was a talk radio host, and a guy who was gaining an audience.
People were listening to him.
They say, Uncle Tom.
Right?
They think that'll work.
First off, they say, black people, you vote Democrat.
and they kind of go with that for a while, right?
Then black people say, hey, we think that you're taking us for granted a little
bit.
And they go, oh, anyone who's a black Republican, Uncle Tom.
And then when that doesn't work, they don't say, oh, you know what? Donald Trump got a record number of
black people, Latino people, a surprising number,
really caught us off guard outside of six major cities.
They don't say, hey, maybe they go, oh, Uncle Tom isn't a white supremacist.
And there's no one in their entourage to just go, um, are you talking to the guy next to Larry Elder?
It's just lazy, though, at this point.
It really is because they're like, white supremacist, white supremacist.
This guy's black.
I don't know, white supremacist.
I guess, also, that's the only thing we got.
I don't know.
Did you see the reporting though from the Los Angeles Times as well?
So when we covered that story about the eggs being thrown, it's like, oh, Larry Elder cut short his campaign event because of unrest.
And then the next one was something about the same thing in the headline, and it showed Larry Elder with his hand on a white woman's face as though he slapped her.
I will say, I'm a fan of Larry Elder, but hands off our white women!
He played the video and it was like they were giving each other a hug of welcome.
I'd be of sound mind to not run this archive interview with you, kind person of color, because you forget your role!
Don't be going around slapping white women!
Don't slap any women!
But especially white women.
Did you just look at a white woman, Krause?
Let's have a fake trial.
I bet you soldiers show at a crossroads between slapping white women.
So he should have slapped the gorilla mask right off.
Yes!
To reveal a white woman and then slap a white woman.
He should have done both.
Double slaps.
I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling stupid white bitches.
That's it.
That's how they play Duck, Duck, Goose.
White supremacist, white supremacist, white supremacist.
It's the same.
They used this against Larry Elder.
Unbelievable.
They used it against Ben Carson.
And by the way, if you're watching right now, smash that like button to show Larry Elder some of your support right now because we want him to obviously do well in California where, of course, elections And just, I mean, it's California.
Secure.
It's California.
It's the Golden State Standard.
It is.
Yes, it is.
We'll let you make your own inference.
You know, just avoid the piles of human shit.
Yes, the Golden State that smells of the golden shower.
Sir, you filled this ballot out with your own feces.
That's not going to scan.
This is a place where you don't have to disclose That you have AIDS when you have sex with a stranger.
It actually went up for a vote.
I thought like, oh, this is one of those absurd laws like they used to have in Georgia where you can't wear a hat that scares children on Sunday after two o'clock, but only every third Sunday.
Like absurd rules that still exist on the books.
No, this was relatively recent.
People ask the question like, hey, if I have an AIDS-infected load, should I have to let somebody know before I have sex with them?
They're like, no, but you need to wear a mask.
Yeah.
And you need to have a vaccine passport.
Yes.
Think about that for a second.
What a stupid word.
If George Michael were still alive, he would walk out of the porta potty after having banged strangers with reckless abandon, and it wouldn't be a problem unless he didn't have A neck gator.
That's true.
How big is his port-a-potty?
How many strangers?
He probably did have a turtleneck though.
He just rolled it up.
I'm just saying, you gotta have a turtleneck.
George Michael's banging people with port-a-potties.
Now we have Newsom's What's next?
That's my question, what's next?
If it doesn't... Will they think, and you can comment below, do you think that the left will think that the calling Larry Elder a white supremacist worked if Larry Elder doesn't win?
Do you think they'll be like, oh, nailed it!
They're high-fiving right now.
They're like, yes, that's so good, the black face of white supremacy.
I've seen a lot of people post about it.
I mean, people buy it.
That's the problem.
We're laughing at it because it's absurd, but there's plenty of people that are like, yeah, he is.
They're right.
I think they stole that, though.
I think I saw that on the Babylon Bee like a year ago.
Like, there's no way this will happen.
That's where they're pulling all their plans from.
Yeah, I can't believe that anybody would assume that that wouldn't have happened.
I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.
I don't know what we do.
I don't know what we do as a comedy show anymore.
I don't know what we do when the left is accusing Larry Elder of being the black... They didn't just say, well, he has deeply hidden self-loathing, you know, tendencies.
They said, the black face of white supremacy.
I'm not sure also.
Where do you go from there?
How about just framing it in a way that's not retarded?
I mean, if you're trying to subvert, we're really are in an Orwellian time where it's double think and they're trying to change language.
It's like, I thought white supremacy meant that you hate it, you thought white, that black people were inferior.
No, no, no, it doesn't mean that.
I thought white supremacy was, no, no, no, there are just as many black people who are white people who are white supremacists.
Really?
How many?
Just the one.
Well, according to the meetings I go to, it's just that we think we're a little better.
Oh.
Hmm.
You're not in the middle?
Not better.
Just more better.
Yeah, we're more equal.
Yes.
By the way, I thought this was already taken care of with Barack Obama and black supremacist Louis Veracon and sitting under his teaching for years.
Just because he said it to Jeremiah Wright.
Oh, Jeremiah Wright, who was influenced by Yes, also did all the anti-semitic... Sorry, I misnamed the black supremacists.
You misnamed the black supremacists.
Louis Farrakhan blames everything on the Jews.
And then Jeremiah Wright is just a charlatan who humps the podium on stage.
Is Louis still there or is it Louis Jr.
now?
I don't know exactly.
I forget.
When I was in Times Square, I used to always try to grab their newspaper, though, and they would not have it.
Really?
Not happy about that.
I'm like, oh yeah, I'll take that.
It's not for you.
What?
I can't read it about the news?
Not for you.
So now a big part of Newsom's strategy, by the way, has been appealing to the Latino vote.
That's been pivotal.
So this is, again, look at this.
All of it is racially charged from the left right now.
You have a black guy, Republican, who actually wants to improve the state.
By the way, even Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, these people who went down and said, hey, you got to vote for Gavin Newsom, Larry Elder made a great point.
He said, you know what they haven't said?
They haven't said that Gavin Newsom has done a good job in California.
No, they can't.
Joe Biden said, you know, Newsom, as far as I know, he was just following the signs.
Right?
That's what he said.
I was like, that's an endorsement?
That's what you're doing, dude.
That's the best he has.
And you suck.
I know your state's on fire, but that's okay.
They had a maskless dinner at the beginning of this where everything was actually named after Orwellian things.
And the only place where plates are more expensive than the Met Gala.
Yes.
Yeah.
I've eaten there once.
The French Laundry or whatever it was called.
Oh, good for you.
Everyone clap for Gerald.
He wants to know.
What kind of wine did you have, you big fruit?
Scotch and cigars afterwards.
Did you?
Did you really?
No we didn't.
Did you go with Newsom?
I did not.
Was it a cuckold?
With Newsom and the entire state of California.
So, he's been trying to appeal to the Latino vote.
He's probably worried because 33% of the Latino vote went to Donald Trump in 2020.
That shocked a lot of people, and I expect that to only get bigger as the left goes further left.
Again, because like I've said, with black Americans, if you actually look at the individual polling on issues with Latinos, they are not expected to be a Democrat voter base.
Give you an idea, this is how stupid and out of touch the left is.
They were saying that when Mexico made, they decriminalized abortion.
They're saying people from Texas who can't get an abortion, they're gonna have to go down and get it in Mexico!
That's not how this works.
They're simply considering maybe letting people out of prison who had abortions, and they're simply going to, okay, maybe look at someone you would consider far, far right or they would consider moderate policies.
You're not going to get someone from Southern California to go down in the second trimester in Mexico and have them serve an abortion right up to a gringo.
This is how out of touch they are.
Mexican people, Mexican-Americans, typically Catholic, very conservative, anti-abortion.
That's why it was monumental for the law to even move just an inch.
And you need to know what they actually did, because they're not moving the way that you think they're moving.
Plus, the Mexican abortion, very different.
It's just you stand behind a kicking donkey.
Tijuana is not known for them, okay?
I'm a doctor, just stand over here.
I'm a doctor and stand right next to the wall that's stucco.
Right here.
Basically.
Easy design choice.
So if you remember, by the way, after Trump's success, even Barack Obama said that Hispanic
evangelicals, he was the one who sort of acknowledged, at least the first one I know of Barack Obama
publicly to acknowledge that Hispanic evangelicals actually helped get such a high proportion
of Latino votes or sorry, Latinx votes.
By the way, hey, go to Mexico, call someone Latinx, see how long it takes before you get
your ass kicked by a gang of non-gang related Mexicans, but they will form one just for
you using the term Latinx.
But here's Barack Obama actually saying this.
People were surprised about a lot of Hispanic folks who voted for Trump.
But there's a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, you know, the fact that Trump says racist
things about Mexicans or puts detainees, you know, undocumented workers in cages.
He thinks that's less important than the fact that he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion.
So this is definitely an uphill battle, look, for Newsom.
And I believe we actually have some exclusive audio of him, robocalls, trying to obtain, in California, this is happening right now across California, the Latinx vote.
That's my regular as I go to the Taco Bell and order the Blanco Supremo.
Rico es no bueno. No es bueno. El negro es blanco supremo Can we just get another crack at it still some pallets
That's my regular as I go to the talk about order the blanco supreme block
If you say it that way it doesn't sound so bad. Yeah Blanco Supremo.
If you go and say, can you give me the white supremacist, they go, okay.
I say, I'm sorry, El Blanco Supremo!
I got you, I got you!
There's a woman that tweeted Crayola because it said negro because she's an idiot.
Oh, I know, it's hilarious.
There's multiple people that do that.
It also said noir.
They're so dumb, like, why would you write this on there?
It's like, do you really think Crayola was like, let's slide in the slur.
I don't know how Crayola, like, they replied to and they were like, uh, well, this is actually Spanish, so... Oh, you know that the guy at Crayola's just waiting.
Yeah.
Because he can't call him a moron.
Just wait until you see the red and yellow crayons.
Yeah, you're not gonna like them.
Oh, boy.
Racist Crayola.
I remember when I was a kid, I was in a carpool.
This is a true story.
I was in a carpool as a kid, and I was trying to talk about a black kid in our class.
I remember talking with this mother at the carpool, thinking, oh yeah, I'll use a different name.
Oh yeah, Andrew.
And I stopped.
I might have been eight or nine, and I thought, I can't say black.
I thought black is offensive, and so I said, The negro kid at school.
I thought that was because also keep in mind that we're half French, half English, right?
So the romance language is like we're talking about here with Crayola.
Yeah.
So I stopped myself and she turned back and said, don't you ever say that!
Black!
Black!
I just don't know what to say anymore.
You sound like you're having supper in 1950s Montgomery, Alabama.
I tell you back there, that negro boy, yeah, yeah, top off that men's jewelry parcel.
So, that negro boy back there.
Me and my friend will be sitting at the lunch counter.
He will be sitting wherever you put him.
He will be sitting wherever he pleases, so long as it is not near my a-ha placemat and, of course, my Crayolas.
Yes.
Do you have racist Crayolas for my...
Oh, they've changed that!
Noir!
This is a different person!
Yeah, well, that's noir, but again, we separate these, so nègre was the term for... Well, nègre is a term for black, but that was the term for black people, and noir was a color, so it was two different words.
So they put it both on there.
As opposed to, in the United States, black is the same word, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So, they went the other way, where they had a word for black people, they have a word for the black color, And then only relatively recently did they change.
The point is, it's all silly.
Look, if you're not racist, who cares?
That's it.
Enjoy your Crayolas.
Fortunately, Matt Damon's just come out and his daughter has told him that the n-word is something that he shouldn't probably use.
Really?
He didn't know!
That removes half his catalog of jokes!
The other half is short guy humor.
That's how he was trying to tell her that he wasn't going to vote for Newsom.
We have to get to Larry Elder here.
We don't have a bunch of time.
But before that, speaking of people of color, that's the term we're supposed to use now.
Black's a shade!
Anyway, Bill Cosby cancelled his comedy tour.
Dang it!
Suddenly he had a comedy tour that was going to happen.
I want to make sure I get a refund for this.
I know, I just spent $4 on tickets.
Well, yeah, so there was going to be a comedy tour due to the reversal of sexual assault, him being let loose.
So I believe we have a montage of that first.
This was an unwanted three year vacation that Mr. Cosby never asked for.
But Mr. Cosby's conviction being overturned is for the world and all Americans.
Do you hear that, world?
That he never asked for, like every one of his victims?
for all the people who have been in prison wrongly, regardless of race, color, or creed.
Because I met them in there. These people can't get lawyers.
And so I raped them too!
Because I knew they could have sued me, so I said, hey, you want to make some toiling right?
This is Bill Cotton.
He is such... He didn't just rape a few people.
He raped many.
That's a small thing.
And by the way, his people said that it was cancelled because they didn't want him to say something that could be used against him in his unresolved legal matters.
Turns out that some of the people that I raped when I was inside the slammer actually can get some lawyers to give them pro bono!
And I did a role that did that for all the people!
Everybody that did it in there, they were the king, you see.
And the good thing is, because I was in California, no idea if the joke is accurate, I do not know where I was detained!
But I did not have to disclose what I call the Magic Johnson disease!
So, actually though, this is everywhere in the news, surprising he's let out.
And then he has a tour, which was big.
Then he cancels the tour, and the reason for canceling the tour is very different.
So we actually have here to help us understand this, we're going to go on the ground to
the last remaining Bill Cosby apologist.
All right. Okay.
The last remaining Bill Cosby apologist we have on the ground.
Are you there?
Can you hear me, sir?
What?
Wait, what's up?
Oh, hey, what's up, Steven?
Hey, what's up, bud?
What are you doing?
I'm eating pudding?
Uh, well, I'm just reporting live on Bill Cosby, like you've asked.
Well, you're in, uh... What?
You're supposed to be on the ground, you're in... This is correspondent, you're in third chair.
Dave, what are you doing?
Uh, why are you wearing a Cosby sweater?
Uh, it's not, it's a cous-fandina-ker.
Okay, why are you wearing that?
Uh, well, it's a little chilly in here.
It's a Cosby sweater, just to be clear.
It's a style that Bill Cosby might wear, sure.
I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
You know, I don't care.
I'm bringing this style back now that Bill Cosby has been found innocent.
Well, hold on.
Okay, let's be clear about this.
Bill Cosby, he was not found innocent.
He was let out on a technicality.
You're just going to let a convicted rapist out of prison?
That's exactly what they did.
He sexually assaulted dozens of women.
Allegedly.
I want to make sure we have this right.
Gerald, are you following this?
You think that Bill Cosby is innocent?
Are any of us truly innocent?
Yes!
Of rape?
Yes!
Yeah, all of us here are innocent of... Yeah, no one here is... We're all innocent of rape, Dave.
Alright, okay, so maybe of rape.
Is anybody here guilty of raising a generation?
Hey, is anybody here guilty of being America's dad?
Anybody?
Anybody show hands?
I mean, that's a pretty good point.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a good point.
Thank you.
Bill Cosby's a terrible man.
This is my good luck football.
It's signed by OJ Simpson.
I don't really, I'm not very that, I'm not fond about what's happening here.
Okay, what's that Dave?
Huh? This?
Yeah, what is that?
This beauty?
Yeah.
This is my good luck football.
It's signed by...
OJ Simpson.
I think I know where this is going.
Nope, actually it was signed by Mark Furman, but he did use OJ's blood.
That doesn't even look like an autograph.
It wasn't, it was a racial slur, but it's smeared over time.
Easy on Mark Furman, he watches fervently.
All right, this has been our on-the-ground Bill Cosby, last remaining apologist correspondent.
All right, so before we have this, do we know when this was recorded?
Was it a few months ago?
Was it a year?
2015.
This was a while ago.
This was recorded in 2015?
2015, yeah.
That's a while ago.
And we never ran this?
We never ran it.
I was actually going through some of our archives and it was unlisted.
Like it never got released.
That's really sane.
Huh.
That was back in the old days.
I can't tell you why it didn't end up being released.
We've never actually done that with interviews.
Maybe we have now with other interviews that I didn't even know.
What sometimes does happen though is someone has to pre-tape an interview and then news breaks and we get a guest.
That's what I assumed it was.
It was something like that.
Just forget about it.
Maybe you didn't release it because it was wrongfully accused and in prison.
Yeah, well that could be it.
Or it could just be that something happened that was newsworthy.
This is the old Michigan studio?
Yeah.
Oh, okay, wow.
So this is back when it used to be in my den and we were going through the archives.
They found this and said, you know what, you should probably run this just because it's very rare that you get to see, this has never been aired before, that you get to see a glimpse into someone who This is how he was treating me back when he really had nothing to gain from my show at this point.
It was a very small show at the time.
And you can see that he is exactly the same person, and right now the attack, of course this is beyond him being the black face of white supremacy, is that he's trying to become another Trump, that he's just pandering for votes.
Well, you know what?
Let's go back into the archives here, watch this Larry Elder interview, and you tell me, and then of course The part that we can't show on YouTube is going to be Mug Club only, and we'll take your chat after you tell me if he's pandering for votes or if he's always been the same old Larry Elder.
So glad to have this next guest with me.
And I know I say that a lot, but this is true, because I was raised in a country where we didn't get AM radio, we didn't get any kind of political discourse.
And it's funny, he can tell me about it.
I used to watch his program.
I had no idea, no background on him, but I remember looking to my dad as a young teenager saying, I think that guy's a conservative, or at the very least, a reasonable human being.
LarryElder.com.
He has a book, Dear Father, Dear Son.
Larry Elder, thanks for being with us.
Thank you so much for having me.
I appreciate it.
No, I'm so glad to have you.
You know, it's funny, we have an eclectic mix of guests, right?
We don't typically just do the AM radio stuff that everyone else does.
We have weird people on.
But I don't get starstruck by people I have on who are just on cable news because we didn't have it.
But your show, was it a morning or a daytime show?
Well, I had a couple of TV shows.
One was called Moral Court and one was called The Larry Elder Show.
You're probably thinking about The Larry Elder Show.
That was on for a bit.
But I've done radio now for 20 years.
Yes, well I know, and I hate to talk about something I used to, but for me that was the only thing I had access to in Canada.
You're talking about essentially a government-monopolized media with the CBC and Radio Canada.
It's funny.
So I just remember watching as a kid.
I didn't know what a Republican was.
You and John Stossel.
And I sat there, and I said, I just like what these guys have to say.
Get this Barbara Walters off, because it came on after TGIF.
And I think you were a guest on Stossel, if I'm not mistaken.
I was.
And Stossel and I are both libertarians.
This is true, yeah.
And that's how I was introduced to you, because we used to have TGIF, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Boy Meets World, and then 2020 came on.
And John Stossel would come on with his sort of smug, give me a break, you know, his whole segment.
And that's where I saw you, and I just said, I have no idea why I was so drawn to you guys.
You know, I've known Stossel for a long time, and people often ask me, Stephen, how I became a libertarian.
It was kind of a long process, mostly me being exposed to economics.
But Stossel found some book, a magazine called The Reason Magazine, on a metro.
Because somebody had just left, and he picked it up and started reading it, and it was all libertarian, and that's what got him interested in libertarianism.
So I told him, if he had missed that bus, then he would still be a card-carrying Democrat, and apparently, he said, apparently so.
Well, you know, it's funny.
I actually subscribed to Reason Magazine through one of those guys who sold subscriptions.
You know, he had the old stick door-to-door.
He had been shot in the face eight times.
Right.
I remember I was so gullible.
I was young.
I was like, oh, what do you have that's political?
And I subscribed to Reason Magazine.
And I remember I saw him at a CVS.
Well, it wasn't a CVS.
It was a different pharmacy.
People don't understand the name.
So I'm saying CVS for reference.
I remember seeing him there and finding out that it was a complete sham.
And I was upset, but I did have my Reason subscription.
And I read that thing religiously for two years.
So it's funny.
So you say libertarian.
And I think that's really interesting this week because I feel like you and Stossel have been incredibly consistent.
Socially, you lean more liberal.
I don't want to misrepresent you.
So what is your point of view, then, on this Supreme Court, the decisions last week?
Because I would imagine for a libertarian, it's much more than the reductive reasoning of love versus hate.
It is, and in California we've had the issue of same-sex marriage on the ballot twice, and both times I voted in favor of it, and both times my fellow Californians voted against it.
And I'm okay with that because I thought that we had a country where we had the concept of federalism.
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution outlines the duties and obligations of the federal government.
The Ninth and Tenth Amendments say anything the federal government can't do are reserved to the people and to the states, and I think marriage and abortion are issues that should be decided on a state-by-state basis.
So while I don't I don't mind the idea that a state has accepted same-sex marriage.
In fact, I voted for it, as I said.
I really disliked the way it was done.
Ramming it down the throats of all 50 states when 13 or 14 of them didn't want it.
Same thing they did with abortion.
And they were winning the argument on the ground, as they were with abortion.
In 1973, when Roe v. Wade was handed down, abortion was available to 70% of the nation's population.
Similarly, same-sex marriage is legal in about 35, 36 states before this.
And in the other 14, many of them had something called civil unions.
So I don't see any reason why this had to be shoved down the throats of the rest of the country.
Well, I will ask you this as someone who is, I'm trying to think, black, African-American, gentleman of color, what should I say here to make sure you don't call the ACLU?
Well, I never use the term African-American.
I think it's a stupid, demeaning term that was essentially rammed down the throats of newspapers by Jesse Jackson.
I'm an American who happens to be black.
That's what I call myself.
So colored gentleman.
We'll go with that.
That's OK.
All right.
I never understood.
American of color.
What's funny is colored is racist.
People of color is now correct.
I can't keep track of the rules.
Everything changes.
When I was a kid, it was Negro, and then it was Afro-American, then all of a sudden African-American, and I guess that's where it is right now.
And if you notice, when newspapers use the term African-American, the next sentence they'll say black, and then they'll go back to African-American.
They've got to cover their bases.
It's worse than French-Canadian because, you know, it's noir is black.
It's a color.
Negre is negro.
So, and then they switch between French and English.
You have to be careful with that, because you can use some French words in English, but if you just say negre, people, wait, what?
What did you just say?
So you have to be careful, and again, it's funny that this political correctness, people don't understand what's politically correct here is actually offensive in another country, and it's tough to keep up.
But also, it's weird on another level.
I've seen police, for example, described an assailant as being, quote, an African-American.
How do you know he wasn't from Haiti?
How do you know he wasn't from Nigeria?
Right.
I've got a buddy who went up to Canada with a son, and his son said, Dad, there aren't very many black people here in Canada.
And he said, well, there are some.
So they go driving.
They go to a gas station.
And the son, who's 10 years old, says, Dad, there's an African-American.
Well, how do you know he's from America?
He's Canadian African-American, isn't he?
Right.
He's Haitian-Canadian.
Yeah, we have that.
We have a huge Haitian population, funnily enough, in Quebec, which is a bastion of multiculturalism, and we talked about these laws a lot.
They tried to purify the province, Pure Len, it's called, for pure French-European blood.
It's horrible.
It's incredibly racist.
And then they had a huge Haitian immigration, because, I mean, they speak French, and French Canadians are much more racist than Americans, so it's funny to see them flip out.
I'm out now.
It's funny that you say that and I'm glad to hear that we're not going to be stepping on any cultural landmines.
You said that you don't want to see this given to the courts because you think people should vote on it.
Obviously liberals and even some libertarians say you don't get to vote on human rights or civil rights and compare it to the plight of black Americans.
What do you say to that?
I don't think the comparison is well taken.
Four members of the Supreme Court agree with me that this should be handled on a state-by-state basis, and that sexual orientation is not the same thing as race.
Before 1969, it was illegal for blacks and whites to marry in some parts of this country, mostly in the South.
This has nothing to do with race.
It has everything to do with people's behavior and orientation.
And I can at least understand the argument that the traditional proponents of marriage argue, which is that a marriage is the possibility of having children, or having children, and we have to provide the kinds of role models that teach men how to be men and women how to be women.
Again, I don't buy that reasoning, but that is at least a straight-faced reasoning that a lot of people feel, and the courts ought to have respected.
And if you don't like living in that particular state, you can move to another state.
If your state is one of these states that does not support same-sex marriage, you can decide as a business person, you can decide as a tourist not to go to that state.
You can punish that state in that way, and maybe that state will then rethink its assumptions.
But to cram it down the throats of the American people by arguing it's the same thing as the civil rights of the 1950s as to blacks, to me it's unfair and not well taken.
And one of the nieces of MLK is named Evita King.
She's a pastor, and she very much resents the comparison.
Yeah, I can imagine.
I always talk about that.
You know, it's tough for me, because obviously I'm not black, but I say, if I were black, I'd... Again, it's something you're born... You're born black, and you're born, you know, people say, gay.
I've talked about that, and I don't want to open that box right now.
I think people don't choose their sexual desires, but everyone has choices over their sexual actions.
Just like I have a choice between my wife... Not saying, you know, you're watching The Love Boat, and you go, hmm, Skipper looks great!
I think I'm gonna go for him today!
Right.
What I am saying is everyone chooses to act on their sexual actions, so there is no choice in being black, despite what the left might say.
I've seen them say that you're not black enough, so I guess it is a choice on how you act.
People claim I made a choice to be white, but I don't see it.
Every morning I get up in the mirror and I go, ah!
It's like the old cartoon where you jump out of your skin and then hopefully you can just jump into a new one and go, I'm white now, I'm transracial.
Here's my point, actually, now we're off on the rabbit trail.
The transracial thing.
I've talked about this before.
I want you to tell me if you think I'm absolutely out of line here.
Um, the transgender movement, that's where I think there is a slippery slope.
The fundamental interchangeability of genders with the same-sex marriage, I think it applies.
You have to apply that reasoning to transgenderism, transsexualism, whatever you want to call it.
But I do think it's actually much more reasonable, I'm not saying either is reasonable, to change your race than your sex.
Because think about this for a second, just one second, come with me here.
Bruce Jenner had to go through severe hormone replacement therapy, a surgery where you essentially amputate your penis and testicles to become a woman.
It still very much looks like a man in a dress.
Anyone would be able to point it out.
Slapped on a spray tan and a sideshow bob, a fake perm, and fooled the NAACP for what?
A decade?
I mean, so wouldn't it seem as you're viewed by the public that would show you that it's obviously a much more physical issue?
It looks as if you can become somebody different on a racial level easier than you can become someone different on a gender level because Rachel Dolezal basically said she Felt black.
Yeah.
And so therefore she is black.
So you can get up in the morning and feel Amish and become Amish.
It's fantastic.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
You know what's interesting?
The NAACP gave her more support than they gave Clarence Thomas.
Clarence Thomas was the second nominee, black nominee for the Supreme Court, and the NAACP did not support him.
The black magazine called Ebony, Stephen, probably the most widely circulated black magazine in the country, comes out once a month.
I know!
Why do you feel that you think I don't know because I'm white?
I know about Ebony!
Wanted to inform your fans who might not be as knowledgeable as you, Stephen.
Anyway, every year they have something called the 100-plus most influential black Americans, and every year they omit Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, and Walter Williams, three prominent black people, because they feel that they aren't black.
And you ain't black.
That is to say, they have positions that are antithetical to the black community.
But Rachel Dolezal, good to go.
Explain that one to me, Stephen.
I don't think I can explain it to you.
I just wanted to make the joke about our sideshow Bob perm.
But you know, it's funny, the Clarence Thomas thing.
I was pretty young.
And when I went back and read up on that, so I was too young to fully understand it.
Right.
I was going like, okay.
To the best of my knowledge, it was a joke about, like, nether region hair and a coke can or something.
I'm going, like, this doesn't seem to be a national story!
And it just shows you that some things can get so hyped up in the moment, and when someone comes in with a fresh point of view and just goes, this is what everyone was up in arms about?
I think we're going to have that about nearly everything occurring these last few years.
I think you're right.
What happened in the case of Clarence Thomas is that one of the women, persons he worked with, her name was Anita Hill, said that he hit on her and said, there's a pubic hair on my coke, which was his boring, clumsy way of hitting on her.
And for that reason, Clarence Thomas was perceived to be not qualified to be on the Supreme Court.
Scotty, beam me up.
Meanwhile, Al Sharpton has a show on MSNBC, and Al Sharpton is a race-hustling person who became famous by lying about Toronto Brawley.
He's $5 million light in taxes, got involved in the Crown Heights affair, went to Ferguson and said that Darren Wilson should be arrested.
And then, of course, Darren Wilson was exonerated.
He's got a show on MSNBC.
Donald Trump is fired.
What world do I live in, Stephen?
Well, I don't know.
I'm not a fan of... I think Al Sharpton and Donald Trump should have a hair war.
So, it's changed.
It's a changing world out there, Leigh.
It's changed a little bit, yeah.
Al Sharpton.
Okay, I want to talk about that, because I was talking with my producer here.
Who's younger and he's more apolitical.
Gay Jared over here.
And he's talked about this.
Al Sharpton actually, when compared to my generation of race baiters, like DeRay and Sean King, the people who've made their entire living online at daily costs or being funded by Soros, Al Sharpton seems downright classy.
Have you noticed it becoming even more aggressive with people my age?
It's funny, I was just talking about that a moment ago on my show.
The millennials have been now accused of being almost as racist as non-millennials, which is fascinating.
Over on MSNBC, I heard a pundit just now say that because Dylan Roof apparently, because of his age, is I guess technically a millennial, and it supposedly pierces the myth that millennials are not racist.
This guy was a deviant.
He couldn't even get a following.
He has a racist manifesto, Stephen, where he complains he can't even get the Klan to join him.
He wanted to start a race.
The whole point is that this guy could not get a following.
He was angry.
He couldn't even get the Klan to follow him.
He kills nine people, and we're having a discussion about how much racism there is in America.
We didn't have that discussion about Charlie Manson back in 69.
It is ridiculous.
were exactly the same. He wanted to start a race war. We wrote him off as a
degenerate nut. He's got a swastika tattooed on his forehead. He's a nut.
And so is this roof guy. Why are we having this conversation about gun
control, about the Confederate flag? Ridiculous. It is ridiculous. I did get a
lot of flack though just for saying, hey, listen, absolutely people have the
right to run a Confederate flag, let your freak flag fly any way you want, and
Amazon and Walmart also have the right to not sell it if they choose not to.
That's their right.
It's not a First Amendment issue.
And I said, me, personally, I'm not going to be pro-Confederate flag.
And I got so much flack for that.
People saying, well, you know, it's about states' rights.
This is something, actually, I would like your input on, because maybe it's a blind spot for me.
What I said, again, as an ignorant white guy, I said, well, states' rights don't supersede human rights.
And as far as I'm concerned, slavery is a human rights issue.
The federal government had to abolish slavery.
Am I off on that?
No, of course not.
And if I were in the legislature in South Carolina, as I've said repeatedly, I would vote against the flag as well.
But I would not assume that everybody who voted against me was a bigot.
It's interesting, we say that not every Muslim is a terrorist, but apparently everybody who's a proponent of the Confederate flag is a bigot.
Not fair!
That's true.
That's not fair.
It's not fair, but I do think it's tough.
When I argue and I say, hey, I'm a conservative, you know, Republican, the party of Lincoln, the party that freed the slaves, and someone's going, oh, no, the Confederacy!
I'm like, damn it.
Right.
Well, my mom is from Huntsville, Alabama.
My dad is from Georgia.
And there are even some black people who think of the Confederate flag as a symbol of history and a symbol of Southern pride, and there are a lot of white people who feel that way, in good faith.
So again, even though I would not vote for the flag, there are so many people that resent it, so many people that feel it's a symbol of racism, and so many businesses that would not relocate to my state because of the flag.
I would vote against it for all sorts of reasons, but I would not assume that my lawmaker across the aisle who votes differently is doing so because of bigotry.
That's a good point.
That sounds incredibly sensible.
You know the art list.
I don't know what you're doing.
I don't know what you're doing.
I get lucky every now and then.
Yeah, every now and then.
I was going to say.
Every now and then.
They were wrong about you on Spin City.
Did you make a cameo on Spin City?
I did make a cameo on Spin City.
I did one also on the D.L.
Hughley Show.
Yeah.
On a show called American Dreams.
I am an actor.
This is true.
You are an actor.
Did they treat you okay?
Did you come on and they treated you like a piece of crap?
I had a cameo appearance on 24.
Remember 24?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And one of my buddies produces it, so he got me a little cameo thing.
And when I was there, the production assistant says, so-and-so's friend is here to do his part.
I said, I'm not so-and-so's friend, I am an actor.
And she went, so-and-so's friend, the actor, is here.
Well, if anyone does any research and finds out who so-and-so is, he'll never produce in Hollywood again, so thanks for that, Larry.
Do they treat you well, though, in Spin City?
Again, I was a youngster, so that's how I was introduced to you.
They really did.
They knew that I was conservative.
They knew that I probably had views that would make the ears explode of everybody else on the set, but they were very polite to me.
They also knew I was there only for a few minutes, and I'd be getting the hell out, so they probably were able to be polite for a few minutes.
Right.
Yeah, I remember thinking it was a very funny storyline, and I thought you were a good sport at going in and doing it.
You know, I've seen Rush Limbaugh do that, and I remember thinking it was a really critical error for someone like Mitt Romney to say no to SNL.
I'd like to see more conservatives doing what you're doing, at least being open to...
Listen, you reach across.
It maybe helps because you're libertarian and so right away they go, I don't know what that means.
Can we book him?
We're going to bring you back after this break.
