| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
And you know, I get it.
I wouldn't want to look at that either, which is exactly why they're making changes.
Funny if you were a little quicker there.
I mean, the timing does help.
Ah, come on.
He looks like, you know, he got over it.
Nice ice cream.
Ice cream fixes a lot of things.
Maybe not everyone.
You know, just depends.
You had some things to say there.
He absolutely did.
Listen, slavery was okay.
You had to go.
I don't agree with it.
You heard him.
I don't agree with it.
You had to go with mint chocolate chips.
Yeah, exactly.
Come on.
Can you do something I favorite?
This argument, President Trump is making a very reasonable argument because here's how I know.
Here's how I know.
Nobody was shocked at what they saw.
Nobody's shocked by that picture.
Nobody's shocked by the stats that she was showing or ships with people or jumping overboard because of the iron in the soul.
Nobody's shocked by that because we know it.
We hate that it happened.
Right.
But we're over it.
Taught.
What he's saying is, hey, can we teach that while also teaching that white people fought a bloody war that nearly killed our country to make sure it didn't happen anymore?
Can we also teach that we have fought for 160 plus years to make the very best of this situation that we possibly could?
And it has cost people's lives.
It has cost people's comfort.
It's cost everything that they can lay on the line post-Emancipation Proclamation to make sure that this country achieved the purpose for which it was founded.
Can we just admit that?
And by the way, if that's not enough, it's been over 160 years, black people, get over it and move on.
Okay, I feel better.
Yeah, well.
I can't believe I'm the most tang person here on this subject.
They wanted to come back.
That actually feels out of place.
It just pisses me off.
But nobody likes any of this.
You said it.
Nobody likes the fact that this country had slavery.
How do you look at just one piece of the story?
And don't speak for me, man.
And it's like, hey, hey, they crucified this guy in Jerusalem somewhere.
And then stopping the story.
It's like, yes, of course they did.
But there's a whole lot more that happened.
You got to tell the rest of the story.
Yeah.
No, you absolutely.
And this idea that America was built by blacks.
Now, this is the only show where you will hear someone condemn slavery, make the case as to why slavery was ended based on Christian grounds.
Yes.
While also making a joke about how black people can't swim and a slave exhibit.
It's true.
Also one of my favorite memes of all time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If Africans built America, then why does Africa look like Africa?
That's very...
My grandfather laid railroad track.
Right.
Okay.
He cut his fingers off while building the factory that he worked in for the rest of his life, a shoe factory.
He fell from staging, collapsed, broke his back.
Building the building that he worked in for the rest of his life.
Not his finger, but yeah, no, blacks built it.
Do you know how long it took to build the Empire State Building?
Yeah.
About a year.
About a year.
Yeah.
I want to say it was 10.
It's either 10 months or.
It's either 10 or 11 months or 13 months.
He's either one month over or one month under a year, the bulk of it.
Imagine we'd still be trying to get the permits under news.
Yeah.
Think of how long it took to do anything at the World Trade Center.
One year, 45 days.
One year, 45 days.
That's a lot of Italians and Irish.
Not saying that we should have those pictures anymore where people are walking around up there without any harnesses or anything eating lunch.
I'm just saying we built stuff pretty fast.
A lot of people got Final Destination to buy steel lunchboxes.
They did.
Yeah.
And building the tunnels.
Yeah, I mean, just stuff like that.
When you see the guy, you're like, they don't have a safety harness.
Paris, bah, yeah.
Yeah, that's like that guy.
You don't like the guy you're like, I always think that's a little rascals when I see this.
Oh, he's a Yankees fan?
Not anymore.
Just a dog with a bullseye walks out.
We got a job opening up here.
My gosh.
It's just a different breed of people.
No, it was only black people.
Who wants my Twinkies?
Just me.
Well, it's the era of the Irish.
You throw a potato, and that's how you take care of them.
By the way, I've been looking up on why they discriminated against the Irish when they were coming here.
I get it.
I really do.
Yeah, they were seen as lower-class people who weren't educated, who were, and actually, Thomas Solo is.
Is it because they were lower-class people that weren't educated?
Well, it's because they were fleeing their gut.
What?
Yes.
They were.
From Ireland.
I said they saw them as that, and I was like, is it because they were?
They were that.
Yes, that's because they were that.
And it was largely the sort of, you know, a high percentage of criminals and people who were less than capable coming from Ireland and brought their problems with them.
Well, apparently you didn't see the movie Cocktail.
That's true.
That was.
I don't know.
That was a terrible one.
Although, was that TGI Fridays?
Yeah, that was the takeoff.
They were in a chain that was going to be like that.
Right.
That's what it was.
You never saw Cocktail?
I saw a cocktail.
TGI Fridays is nowhere near that, but okay.
No, it's not, but I think it was like an actual.
Somebody can tell me it was a franchise.
Yeah, that's what the movie was based on.
Was it actually TGI Fridays?
No, it's called Baker Street Irregulars, located in New York City.
It's the same bar that was originally a TGI Fridays.
Oh, that has absolutely nothing to do with what you guys were saying.
But okay, I get it now.
Well, it does, you dummy.
The fucking movie.
It was based on the body.
It was a chain.
Fuck the guy who started a chain of fucking bars.
Doesn't have any respect.
It's not TGI Fridays that serves.
There's a fucking bar at TGI Fridays, you numb nuts.
I was there before.
They have stuffed baked potato fucking skin stuff.
Stop crews there too.
Is he selling two sisters?
You know what else?
You know what else?
I don't think you respect.
I don't think you respect the trade, the craft of mixologists.
I don't.
You're right.
Everything is given a term now.
I'm a barista.
You hit a button on a super automatic machine shooter.
You're a barista.
I'm a mixologist.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
What was it?
I had one.
I'm putting that soda gun in your mouth and blowing you.
Volume.
It used to be a thing.
That's funny is now they call themselves mixologists, but back in the day, bartenders used to actually have to know drinks.
You know, you had the five cut, you had a Manhattan, you had an old-fashioned, you had a sidecar, you had a daiquiri was one of them.
And I can't remember what it was.
Was it Gimlet?
The Gimlet?
Maybe no, it was Martini.
You're right.
Those are the five classic cocktails.
No, no, no, no, don't quote me on that.
But look, I'll give you, like, some of those guys today, they know how to make some really, really great drinks.
But most of the people that are mixologists are making sweet drinks for ladies.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes, most of them.
This one's really cool, and it has pink and woo!
Yeah, and apple martinis.
I mean, great.
Wow, you really nailed that Jolly Rancher by pouring in Jolly Rancher syrup.
This is like, it's a minefield wherever I go.
Well, it's going to be a minefield.
It's fuzzy nasal.
Nasal?
I mean, nabel.
Fuzzy nasal.
There was a great comic in Montreal who had a bit about that.
Who was it?
A guy named McDonald.
I think Scott Falcon Pritch.
I could be wrong.
I don't want to.
But he had a bit.
I don't even know if it was televised.
And he said, you know, people will go in and they'll say, I want a sex on the beach.
Or, you know, they'll say, hey, would you like a blowjob shot?
He goes, they're all very sexual.
But that's not really the nature of the kind of sex these people will be involved in.
Or I go, I say, yes, I'd like to order a whack off alone in the dark.
Please.
He's a really odd-looking guy.
He sells it.
Just a beer to go.
Now, it's crazy.
We used to do that in this country.
You could drive through Lynch.
What do they do in Florida?
They still got them.
They still got them?
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Good.
Barnes.
I have no problem with it.
I think that the open alcohol container law is silly.
I think you shouldn't drive drunk.
I don't think there's any difference between having a beer at dinner or having a beer driving down PCH if you are not inebriated.
It was created so that moms demand action or whatever, moms against drunk driving could catch more people.
All right.
Man, it worked.
Yeah, it did work.
This one's for Nick.
I just threw this in because I thought it'd be funny.
So slavery can be funny.
It's wrong.
But.
But it's good for a laugh sometimes.
So this is to give you an idea as to how slavery is still going on.
A 19-year-old, and of course it's not funny that he was enslaved.
The way that it happened is kind of funny.
19-year-old Chinese man was sold into slavery by his 17-year-old girlfriend.
Wow.
It was honeypot slavery.
Gotcha, bitch.
So they met at a billiard hall.
The girl, Zhu, persuaded this boy, Huang, to come work at a family business in Myanmar.
The Jews control the billiard halls.
Oh, yeah, the Zhu's are on the media.
Zulus.
I mean, the Jews.
And control the world.
Then she actually traveled with him to Bangkok.
Huang, Bangkok.
What the fuck?
So they went through this whole thing: honeypot.
Like, yeah, yeah, boyfriend, girlfriend.
Right.
And she was being paid to lure him.
Then at Myanmar.
Says Zhu falsely claimed she needed to pick someone up and just left the guy.
And then they took him.
Goodbye.
And they basically locked him into a telecom fraud compound in Myanmar.
Were they just work you to death?
They just work you to make fraudulent phone scam calls.
Yes.
I did get out of college.
At least you did it, but you did it willingly.
You did.
Yeah.
You weren't enslaved by a Zhu.
I was trying to sell rare coins over the phone.
I had to wear a suit and everything.
It was like going to Wall Street.
Really?
Yes.
And when I went back to college, a week before I went back, I see my boss being led out of the skyscraper in Boston in handcuffs by the federal.
Yes.
Well, that was a nicer experience than Zeus.
I'm on the phone trying to sell a double eagle.
$50,000.
I don't even know what an IRA is at that point.
Oh, my God.
It was the best job ever.
I never sold anything.
It's like boring boiler room.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
No, it's very official and nobody making any money.
Then Diesel coming, did you sell the coins?
Just like Wall Street, though.
Remember when they committed Fed's arrest charge?
Oh, yeah.
That's just what went down.
By the way, the reason it's the guy was freed.
Huang was finally returned to China.
There was a $50,000 ransom that was paid.
But again, this doesn't always end this way.
50 million plus slaves on earth.
And they're getting very clever about it.
Now, I think this is too much effort.
I think if you're going to cross that line morally, which you should not, slavery is bad.
Right.
You don't need to honeypot them.
You just knock him over the head and put them in a van.
Yeah, this is like the worst catfish ever.
And she got paid $13,900.
Like, that's a lot of money to get paid to, you know.
Yeah.
How many people can you suck her into going to Myanmar with you?
And half that went up her nose.
I dated this bitch.
That's how you ended up selling coins.
She's like, oh, go to Myanmar.
She's like, I'm not interested.
It's okay.
She's just like, oh, no, no, no.
Didn't they change Myanmar to a different coin?
You come here, you sell a coin.
Oh, I hear my mama calling me.
I have to go.
Double regal.
Bye-bye.
Your feet are clasped with a cuff.
Clank.
I brought my own irons.
Sell more coin.
Be like Bill Devane.
Wasn't he the one selling all the gold?
Oh, yeah.
I'm Bill Devane.
You're like, what?
I need to buy gold from the water.
He's got like Jews' teeth from the 40s in his kitchen drawer.
This guy.
I think he died.
No, Devane still alive.
Is Devane still alive?
Okay.
It was a block.
Bill Devaney and who's the other guy?
It's Bill Devaney, and there's always one other guy.
Two guys who are always selling stuff on TV.
Like, why are you here?
Tom William Devane.
Yes, we know.
Yes, yes, we all know.
And buy gold.
Okay.
All right.
Fine.
And then you have Tom Selick.
G. Gordon Liddy.
Yeah, I was kidding.
G. Gordon Liddy ate a rat.
He died.
Yeah, he did.
He did eat a rat.
He did eat up.
He ate it.
He was scared.
He was scared of rats.
Well, I read about him.
Yep.
I liked him.
He was scared of rats.
And to get over his fear, there was one in his cell.
He killed it and he ate it.
Yeah.
And he would put.
Well, also, that was to establish a pecking order in prison.
That's that man crazy.
He ate a rat.
Apparently, I had a real fear of pussy.
Well, you would fit right in in prison.
Be like, yeah, me too, man.
What's that, noodles?
I was going to say, research chimed in and wanted to let us know that the audience is very sympathetic to Mr. Huang's plight.
I don't understand the whole.
Yeah, it's like, think about that for a second.
When people talk about how oppressed women are, it's like, they're able to enslave men still.
Why can't I find one of them?
So bad.
I don't know if I believe this story.
So he's in prison.
No, I made it up, Father.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
It's true.
It's not like you can check my work or anything.
I'm not saying that it's not true.
I'm just saying he goes to prison.
He's afraid of rats.
And so therefore, to get over his fear, he eats a rat.
That's like me going to prison and not wanting to be gay and blowing a guy to make sure that I don't become gay.
That's what I'm saying.
That's kind of hard to believe.
See, to make sense.
You do that in the men's room here.
Yeah.
You need a prison.
I feel like he's telling on himself.
And how he became CEO.
That makes sense.
Like, I'm afraid of rats, therefore, I'm going...
No, that's not how he became CEO.
He became CEO in spite of that.
Okay, he cooked it first.
I guess that's different.
Good to have a talk.
Oh, yeah, no, he didn't eat it raw.
Who eats raw rats?
No, no, no.
He cooked it.
He cooked it.
We didn't make it sound like he had a dish.
Well, excuse me.
Well, I'll put his cookbook on the table for you after the show.
By the way, it goes very, very nicely with a 98 toilet line.
It does.
I had also buco in a toilet.
It's amazing what these mothers can do with a Bunsen burner.
The Stewart recipe.
That was one of my bits.
She got arrested.
It's a good thing.
Yeah, it's a good thing.
How could that taste bad?
I don't know, barefoot contest.
I think she was done dirty when you look at it now.
You're like, she did what so many people did, Martha Stewart.
Yeah.
And we didn't know any better at that point.
She used the N-word.
Did she?
I think she didn't do it.
No, no, no.
That was Paula Dean.
Oh, Dean.
You're confusing your dumb horse.
All right, but you know what?
You know what?
He said.
You said it was, what's her name?
The black girl from MSNBC that got fired.
Joy.
You said it was Joy Reed.
It was actually Sears that was in that circle group.
And I didn't admonish you.
Oh, wait, hold on a second.
No, wait.
It was actually Seals.
Seals.
It wasn't a male-in catalog, so admonished Gerald first.
Yeah, I think that was really petty of you.
Yeah, he's the seals that keep coming up.
It doesn't matter.
You just know that Gerald's wrong.
That's all that matters.
Well, I keep healing.
I think Seal the black guy with bad skin.
Yeah.
So did I. Every time we brought her name up, I thought of Seal.
I'm not getting it.
He got it from Lupus, which I thought lupus was usually a female thing.
Oh, God, no.
You know who had Lupus, the guy that ran the comic strip in New York City.
And he didn't pass me the first time.
Like, I hope your other finger falls off.
Yeah, I know.
I remember.
I remember you used that at a roast.
He died three months later.
Yes.
Yeah.
Because he was a dick.
They went booking.
They said, we already have an angry Italian.
Yes.
Exactly right.
And he was losing his fingers.
They were like, amputate him three at a time.
And then we're doing a roast.
I didn't know he was in the room.
And his girlfriend was on the dais.
It wasn't very funny.
Vanessa Holland.
I said, Vanessa the last time, you know, something about it.
You said, no, no, no.
He's a good man.
All three-fifths of him.
No, I said something about it.
I don't know.
He left to his ring fingers in her snatch.
Yeah.
I don't know.
But he was in there.
And I, and I actually, I knew he was dying at the time, so I didn't apologize.
I think Patrice knew he was in the crowd because I remember that.
And Patrice's like, oh my God.
I don't think he was there, Patrice.
No, he was there.
He was?
Yeah, he was.
It was the Jim Norton roast at the meanest shit I ever said in front of somebody.
Yeah, I know, but I'm glad you did.
And that's saying something.
Yeah, me too.
It was pretty funny.
I actually wrote him a letter.
Handwritten.
I don't think he ever got it.
Yeah.
Well, he got it.
Couldn't open it.
Two thumbs.
It was the weirdest thing.
It's like the New York Times bestseller.
The comic strip live was like, you're like, what's the rhyme or reason to the booking there?
And I guess in your case, he said, we already have an angry Italian.
Yeah.
And it was Rich Francesi, who's not angry.
He's just a big Italian guy you'd think is angry.
Right.
It was a very Rich Frances, a very smart, funny comic because he looked like a bouncer.
Right.
Nobody would give him the time of day.
Yeah.
He turned out to be a little nuts.
Did he?
After, you know, after being shut down for three decades.
Yeah, exactly.
Where's on you?
Yeah, I guess we don't need to run the Myanmar clip because I think we've really drove this point home.
I guess.
We've mined this as much as voluntarily.
We weren't enslaved.
It's pretty.
Go look it up.
Yeah.
It's a pretty, pretty.
It's a big problem in Myanmar.
It's still like slavery is still a thing.
That's the thing.
I just want you to know slavery is still a thing.
And anyone in the United States who demands that we send AIDS for aid to Africa without simultaneously demanding that we send in the most violent fighting force in existence to end slavery across that continent should really shut up because they're being disingenuous.
Can we pull that back up?
Look at the chart in the bottom left.
India.
Holy, they're number one in something.
First, it was poop in the streets, and now this.
Yeah, I was going to say it's not the only thing.
Yeah.
They just call them indentured servants.
Diarrhea.
Yeah, but they're like, I mean, we thought, okay, like China, yeah, that's bad.
They're going to tie you to a loom until you, you know, whatever.
And India is like, hold my beer.
Yeah.
Like, hold my, get peace.
Yes.
You know, like, just think about that for a second.
Think about that for a second because people did eat prey love.
I love India.
It's very spiritual.
Can you get the slave growth?
Yeah.
Hey, you know what?
If you're going to look to find spirituality of all the world religions, how about you don't start with the one that still permits slavery, dummy?
They're lower class people, Stephen, so I guess it's okay.
India looks like the grossest place on the planet.
It is.
It's just look that like apartment stuck on top of a top.
There's always fucking phone wires hanging in the street.
I know.
I know.
It's fun to watch people getting roasted, though, like stuff on them and shit.
Oh, you mean literally?
Yeah, literally.
It's like, was it two people per hour diet of trains?
Or is it two people per minute?
Yes, the natural predator of Indians.
The natural predator.
It's the funniest thing I've heard.
Of the spoonchobi.
What do you say that the other day?
It's like the natural predator.
They don't understand it.
They think it's like this mythical beast that's nocturnal or something.
It's like, just don't stand in front of it.
There are literally tracks to tell you what they're doing.
It'll go through them like a wind.
Yeah.
You can go anywhere else except here.
This.
And it's like three feet wide.
Just point that.
I know.
I know.
All right.
It's chat Thursday.
Let's go.
Chat.
All right.
Noodles, hit us.
All right.
First chat from Renpedi.
Question for Nick.
Toe-to-toe with Jasmine Crockett.
What words of advice would you have for her as she loses her congressional seat?
Hope she loses her congressional lips.
Advice for her.
I think you mean advice for someone going against her?
I think they're just saying, like, what would you say to her?
What would I say to her?
I'd say, I'd say, should I leave the money on the dresser this time?
Fucking hoe.
And you'd probably win.
You'd probably win.
That was our campaign slogan.
Leave the money on the dresser.
Yes, yes.
And by the way, she lifted it from Kamala, so that's the thing.
It's just not even original.
We went from the minds of John Adams and Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson to Jasmine Crockett.
I know.
Just think about that.
You can't convince me somebody voted her in.
You can't.
Well, also, that's the thing.
I think she's going to be redistricted out because she should not be representing sweaters, okay, at Urban Outfitters.
Stupid bitch.
Sell those?
Anyways, I hate her guts.
I pray Sickle Cell makes a comeback.
All right.
I don't think it ever went away.
I don't think it ever went away.
I'm not going to credit it.
I've been juggling it with the AIDS for.
Well, that's okay.
You still can't kill.
Jasmine, I kid.
You seem like quite a lady.
You find a lump in your armpits.
All right.
There you go.
And he would win.
Next chat.
Next chat from Mr. Never Miss.
Christopher Crew.
We're all seeing what's happening with Maduro in Venezuela, but what are your thoughts?
Looks like Trump is planning something, but I'm not sure what.
Thanks.
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure.
Did they designate the Venezuelan government an international drug cartel?
So they're treating them as a...
Well, they put a bounty on Maduro, right?
A criminal entity.
$1 million.
I'm trying to remember the official classification, but we all know that this is true.
Just ramping up.
And of course, look, that's the byproduct of socialism.
That's the byproduct of communism, right?
He's a descendant, basically.
He's the next guy after Chavez, who Sean Penn said was a wonderful man, and he was proud to call him his friend.
At a certain point, you need to make money somehow.
And when you've plunged your entire population into poverty, it's like, oh, yeah, you know, we'll just do the drug thing.
So, yeah, I think there is something to that because not only is there something to it, it's important to delegitimize these cultures that the left have said are all equal, right?
Bernie Sanders said, Venezuela has red lines.
It's a good thing.
All these people went out and supported Chavez, supported Maduro.
Also, Castro.
I'm never going to let the left forget that, where they're like, no, no, no, not this kind of communism.
You were there protesting against the protesters in Cuba, who, by the way, were being executed and jailed because they wanted freedom in support of Castro.
And now people like Fonda and Bob Dylan's first lay have the gall to say that we're fascists.
So, yeah, I think drawing awareness to the fact that these are not legitimate governments on par with the United States, and they should be treated as the illegitimate entity that they are.
I don't know what the plans are, though, at this point, but I would imagine it's something special.
Next chat.
All right, next chat from Shells.
What's your opinion about Hillary Clinton's praise for Trump's NATO policy and her comments nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize in regards to Ukraine?
What's her scheme?
No, no, no.
We covered that on the show.
She was being facetious.
She presented a no-win situation, right?
Someone can bring it up where she said, if Donald Trump gets this deal done, I think it was without any concessions from Ukraine, any land concessions, I will nominate him, which, of course, is not going to happen to a people who've largely lost territory in a war.
And I think she may have, in a separate clip, said something like, it's good that NATO is spending or something like that, if that's okay.
And why do we care about what she says about anything anymore?
Good point.
Yeah, good point.
That fat pic.
Sorry.
Yeah, no, no, no.
They're both applicable.
I would say, yeah, so I don't know about the second post.
I know the first post was, yeah, if he does it without conceding any.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Hey, weren't you in some kind of official position at some point?
Crimea?
Weren't you in politics until he slapped your ass?
Crimea?
What did you do?
What did you do?
During that whole time, did anyone else in NATO pay their fair share?
Oh, sorry.
We can't ask you.
You're just a girl-ish.
Let's grab a next-class.
She looks not sleeping with Bill Clinton.
Make some cookies.
Oh, did you bring up the tweet?
Yeah, well, research sent in two things.
First off, this is her comments on the NATO thing.
Actually, encouraged a NATO commitment by individual member states to increase their defense spending.
It's something that prior administration has certainly sought.
His name is not there.
Yeah.
And I think it's great that we're seeing these commitments.
They now have to follow through on that.
You can't just leave it at that, Jess, to throw that part in it.
No, no, no.
I actually think that's valuable.
Oh, so you sought it.
Well, why didn't you get it?
Yeah.
Why can't you say, like, he's going to get it?
He's going to backhand.
No, no, why didn't they?
It's good that they're bombing this.
I'm sorry.
Did they just wake up one morning and decide to do it?
Or did Donald Trump press them to do it like you could have in the position you were in, like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, name anybody else you want, could have done and didn't.
Also, by the way, when the left says we're not respected, what they mean is Donald Trump isn't as nice as we were.
Well, let's see where that got you.
The Obama administration was nice, and we foot the bill for the entire free world in defense spending.
Many of these people weren't even meeting a quarter of their requirements.
And Donald Trump, who you say is not respectable, got it done.
So how do you think about it?
I think Obama was trying to undermine Donald Trump coming at the just go away, please.
But it's one of those things, respect.
And they always throw in all these buzzwords so that they can negate their own.
They'll go, you know, for example, I think Michelle Obama was talking about a business owner, you need to show up and be compassionate and go through all this stuff and empathetic and then saying, and truthful.
Well, hold on a second.
Your definition of compassion, it necessitates that many business owners can't be truthful because sometimes the truth, of course, is not very nice.
It's not seen as compassionate.
So what's the priority?
So they do this so that they can just frame it however they want.
That's the problem with situational ethics.
That's the problem with moral ambiguity.
That's the problem, moral equivalency that they, it's the world they live in.
She just said, we sought it, so I'm glad we're getting it.
Well, okay, why did you seek, if you did seek it, and I don't know that I believe that, why didn't you get it?
Why was Donald Trump so hell-bent on fighting on behalf of the American people, the American taxpayer, that he got it?
What's the difference?
Yeah.
He's just some celebrity president with no experience.
Didn't you live your whole life in politics, right?
Wasn't your husband president?
And then you got like a time share in New York so that you could run as a senator there at some point in time.
Why you, with all your experience, could you not get these other nations in NATO to spend their fair share?
Maybe experience isn't all that valuable as it comes to fighting for the American people.
And maybe respect, meaning nice, isn't all that valuable in comparison to commanding it through actions?
This is my opinion, Mr. Old Fashion.
Discriminate.
Okay.
Well, here's the tweet real quick.
If Donald Trump negotiates an end to Putin's war on Ukraine without Ukraine having to cede territory, sorry, it's really small.
I'll nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize myself.
Really small monitor for me to see that.
Yeah, okay, great.
Yeah.
Right.
Hey, hey, it's a woman being manipulative.
First on me.
Next chat.
All right.
Next chat from Zilal.
If India cozies up with China over the tariff situation, should we use the cancellation of all H-1B visas from India as the next step of escalation?
I think we should do it now.
I think we should do it now.
Goodbye.
Yeah.
I think at the first sign of foul play, I guess you have to speak their language.
You're out.
Bye-bye.
That's it.
Thank you.
Don't come again.
Don't need him.
Don't need him because we don't need the United States to look like India.
There's nothing I see from that country that I would want for this country.
It's that simple.
Next chat.
All right.
Next chat from CWK 003.
Nick, are you seeing more comedy clubs booking more right-leaning comics?
I don't follow it anymore.
I'm more into dance and jazz.
Yes.
No, I see when I'm on X or whatever the Chinese one is, TikTok.
I see these comics coming up that are doing.
Yeah.
They're, you know.
You know, they're doing what I was doing.
Yeah.
And I'm glad to see it or whatever, but it's much safer to do it now.
Of course.
There's a guy, Ben Benankis or something, kind of a southern kid.
He was coming to the place I was at in Florida last week.
Side splitters.
Somebody mentioned him, a guy that works here, and then I saw him online, and he's, you know, he's laying it out there pretty good.
Good.
And as far as them booking more, it all depends again on who's running the club.
What happened was all that PC crap for these years all of a sudden got to the point where now the managers are of that age and they grew up believing in that stuff.
Yeah.
And they would throw somebody out if an audience member got mad at me, you know, I wouldn't come back.
One, you know.
Yeah.
So I think they're probably more lenient there.
But again, this country has its pockets.
I still wouldn't go near DC or yeah.
But yeah, I got to believe now that the coast is clear, there are more guys trying to do that stuff.
And, you know, we need to fight for that territory that's been gained because I think there are a lot of fair weather people now who just sort of see where the puck is going.
And I don't, you can sort of listen to them for a bit and know that they don't necessarily know what they believe.
It's not deeply rooted.
But it's like, oh, okay, now this is acceptable.
Yeah.
What were you saying when it could have cost you something?
Yeah.
That's what I want to know.
Now it's like, oh, I think Rogan would like this.
I'll go this path.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I remember the first time I appeared on Rogan where he asked me about the, you know, made-up imagination fable of Jesus, and that's changed quite a bit.
And I remember when he endorsed Bernie Sanders.
I remember watching him when he was on a webcam.
And it was just, you know, it was everyone was liberal and Republicans were dumb.
And so, you know, like it's, I'm glad to see it changing, but I also see a lot of people they're going to, they're going to wiffle waffle back.
Yeah.
I mean, I went on there in the middle of the Russia Gate, Russia Gate steel dossier stuff.
I know.
And he tried to call you to task and he knew nothing.
And he, no, but he admitted.
He goes, I don't know what you're talking about with it with this steel dossier.
He said he'd never heard of it.
You know, so that's why I'm talking about it.
But then he told you that you were a conspiracy theorist and he brought up the Washington Post or something.
Well, he kept having, well, I was just defending Trump.
They kept saying he's the biggest liar ever to sit in the way.
Then he tells his producer to bring up these headlines and they're coming from NBC News, the Washington Post.
And I go, consider the sewers.
And even that was lost on him at that point.
At that point.
But not now, you know, now people are looking at him like, hey, good.
I say it all the time.
You know, he hasn't had me back.
I don't even know that that's the reason.
I don't think it is.
Somebody told me, you might have told me, somebody said, nothing, his manager is a buffer.
Yeah.
And his manager's real liberal.
And I know the producer probably didn't like me, whatever his name is.
Jamie.
Yeah, Jamie.
So I don't think it's Joe.
And I don't bring it up anymore because I still like Joe because we need all the testosterone we can get.
I'm glad he came around.
And I'm glad he's got such a huge bully puppet.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So here's the thing about it.
It's all good.
I just disappoint.
I like him personally.
I like it, but I'll say this.
I would like someone like that who goes, oh, yeah, Donald Trump-Russia collusion, right?
To go now, because now he's obviously been very clear.
He knows what's happened.
He knows that it was a hoax.
I'd like someone like that who came to it late to go, hey, and by the way, there are many who've come before me.
Nick DiPaula was right about this all along.
I would like to see those people who are new to it, and I get it.
Some people mature later in their political views to point people to those who were making that case and fighting that fight a long time ago.
Like, yeah, you know, hey, these arguments that now that I make about Jesus.
And I think he's that type of guy.
That's why I really don't believe it's him.
No.
He's not the type of guy to hold a grudge.
I don't know, you know?
So I don't know if he is or not, but I would like to see you back on there.
And I would like to see, you know, you discuss that because he obviously agrees with you now.
Sure.
But at that point, I don't know if Jamie does.
I worry.
The same kind of problem that we have with people that kind of come around to it lately.
I'd like for, especially in like the immigration stuff, with some of the stuff that he has said recently.
He's like, we didn't vote for that.
What the heck is this going on?
I'm like, yeah, we actually did, Joe.
It's just that you didn't know.
You weren't on our team then.
You're new to the game.
Sorry, buddy.
But we've actually wanted to have good immigration control and getting people out of this.
And that's what it looks like.
I get worried about these guys because the minute things get difficult, they go back to what they know.
And it's like, oh, we didn't vote.
Yes, we did.
Okay, so I'm not going to look to you as a moral leader right now or a leader of the conservative party.
When he says we didn't vote, but he's believing what he's reading as far as we're kidnapping people off the street like stuff.
I know, because he doesn't have the depth in it to understand that's probably not true.
Let me go one layer deeper.
Let me ask Tom Holman to come on this show and explain what's going on.
He'd come.
I mean, it's freaking Joe Rogan.
I mean, of course, he would probably.
That's all it takes.
And it's less about less about Joe, but kind of the people in his orbit who never talked about this.
And then they fall out of Texas and now they're like, you know, Austin sucks.
It's like, so you moved from a shitty liberal city in California to the only shitty liberal city in Texas that's slightly smaller and you hate it.
And so many of them will go back and it'll.
And my manager reached out to the club, you know?
Yeah.
To the mothership.
Yeah.
And the guy goes, no, he'll never play here.
And that's when I bought him.
Yeah.
So, and now, even if they said, yeah, come on, Dom, I would never.
Well, it makes no sense.
I've talked about, I remember doing the Carlos Mencia thing.
He cited two people who inspired him to go home and write when he was attacking Carlos Mencia for being a thief, rightfully so.
He said, Dave Chappelle and Nick DiPaolo.
So we know that he respects you.
We know that he venerates you.
I don't know why you wouldn't be allowed at that club.
I'd like to see him step in, right?
For the guy who inspired him to write and become a better comic.
We'd go watch, and Stephen might heckle you.
He'd do better than that.
No, I would not.
I would not.
Mr. Heckle over there.
I'm bringing the wife and kids.
We're going to heckle you.
Yellow.
Don't worry.
Go ahead.
I wouldn't worry about it.
He'll be like, hey, nice shirt.
That kind of thing.
Yeah, it's not going to be very effective.
And I'll come back with something clever.
It is nice.
Yeah, exactly.
Man, where are you from?
You're from Mesquite?
That's full of gays.
Go, hey, aren't you Gerald?
What's Steven's cock taste like?
Just have this ready.
There you go.
It'll be a multimedia experience.
When did you do that, Joe?
Today?
Where are you?
That's not an old man.
He can't see you.
Lay off Neozenpic.
You're right.
I'm blind in this.
It was when that girl was acting like she didn't want people to look at her and she was dressed in a skippy outfit.
And I'm like, she's shaking her butt.
It's like, you just look at me.
If you don't want people to look at you in the gym, going back to that, it's like, I don't know if you know this, but throughout all of at least modern American history, women had pants they wore to the gym that didn't actually have a seam that stencils an ass on your ass.
And like you could even just wear normal like leggings or sweatpants if you didn't want people to look at you.
You could wear what everyone always wore.
And by the way, it was still easy to tell that people were attractive.
They literally have a seam up the ass.
An ass is painted on their ass.
And I go, I don't want you to look at me and say, well, then why did you outline your ass with different shading from the rest of the pants?
Right.
It's also boxing in the box.
I read yesterday online a whole article about Gen Z girl that's going away.
Yeah.
They're wearing baggy stuff now.
They are.
Yeah.
The mom jeans have come back for us.
Yeah.
No, I mean ironically ugly.
I'm not even talking.
This girl was in her house.
She had time to set up a camera, think through what she was going to say.
Oh, yeah, the English.
And then I'm like, hold on, I just got so offended because somebody said I was gorgeous.
I'm going to go out.
Like, it's obvious what she's doing.
She's trying to get it.
She's desperate for that kind of attention.
Well, that's what they.
This guy never even did.
It never even did.
And being like me coming on the show in a cocksock being like, why are you looking?
I wear this for me.
Makes me feel sexy.
Every girl on the internet that's over a seven, they go on there with this tit show, whatever, but they're always doing something that's very, you know, showing you how to put contact paper on your shelves.
Right.
And she's in a bikini.
Crap down.
You know?
Al Borland with tits.
Yes.
She's drywalling in a, you know, in a one-piece.
Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
I still whack.
They'll get it.
I mean, a lady with a nice circular saw.
I'm in.
Hey, a jackhammer.
She's throwing her.
She's sealing her driveway in her fanthies.
Not my problems.
Don't look.
She doesn't want your attention.
She does it for herself.
It makes her feel sick.
I can read her lips.
Yeah, next chat.
Next chat from DJ Deepford.
Question for the crew: I'm a Christian and I have a few Muslim friends.
How would I handle their religion laws and calls to exterminate Christians?
Don't go.
Get new friends.
Just kidding.
Don't go.
Don't go where those laws exist.
And here's the thing: you have Muslim friends, but I'm willing to bet you have Muslim friends largely here in the Western world.
Right?
And that can't, of course, that can take place here in the Western world.
It doesn't really happen to the same degree in most of the Middle Eastern and the Arabic world.
There are exceptions, but it usually is more secular Muslims are able to be friends with secular or devout Christians.
Practicing devout Christians and practicing devout Muslims are kind of precluded from having that kind of a relationship because at some point in time, if you're a practicing devout Christian and you don't convert, it's very clear what needs to be done with you.
They may ignore it, and that's great.
And I hope they do.
But lucky.
But 158 million Muslims on earth right now believe that violence is justified against people, against apostasy or speaking out against the Prophet.
And half of them are in the NFL.
Yes, exactly.
I agree.
I find it ironic that the religion likes to behead people.
They spend five times a day bowing.
Yes.
Yes, exactly.
It's like a layup.
They're going to go for them with a machete.
It's a layup for them, and it's a real thing of power.
Their insults involve a lot of rape.
It's true.
They really go straight to rape when they insult.
They just have no idea how much we love guns.
Yeah, yeah, a lot.
Well, I think they do.
That's why we're relatively safe here.
It's why the Japanese are like, no, no, no, don't do a random blood of grass.
Throw a bomb and then run away.
They always come out of breath that you.
Yeah, they do.
They do.
Next chat.
Our next chat from Amanda Nanice One.
Hi, Amanda.
Question for the crew.
Do you think these people in media like Abby actually believe what they are saying, or are they so deep in the corruption they have no choice but to?
That's a big every, that's a big thing.
I ask it a lot.
Do they really believe this?
Here's what I will say: they believe, having spent a lot of time with these people, they believe in the cause.
They believe in sort of the root ideology that, yes, this is what's best for society is progressivism, is liberalism, right?
Is tolerance, is diversity.
They believe that, and so the ends justify the means, where they are clearly making the conscious decision to selectively edit history.
They're choosing their end point and their outpoint to make the strongest case, regardless of how accurate it is, in the name of the overall goal and ideology.
So do I think that she believes, if you were to pin her down, I think that she believes that some form of socialism or another, she might call it by another name, is what we ultimately should have in this country.
And getting there means deconstructing all of the institutions that have precisely conserved us, preserved us against that.
So do I think it was a conscious decision to ignore the history of the world and slaves on earth today?
Yeah, she also could be ignorant of that.
She seems quite dumb.
But even if she knew about it, she wouldn't include it anyway because, hey, let's look to the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow is we want everyone to buy into progressivism.
So it's a little a column A, a little of column V. The pot of gold is the $4 million she makes a year from CNN spewing that shit.
Does she make $4 million?
Nah, I'm just throwing that out there.
That's probably something she has.
Like Scott Jennings is on that panel when she does her show at night.
Yeah.
So she has an opportunity to hear an opposing voice, but typically she shuts him down when he's trying to make a good point.
Yep.
I'm not kidding.
She'll say, well, Scott, hold on, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott.
And it's like, no, shut up, listen, learn something.
Maybe you won't be such a racist person.
And how about have it not been seven-on-one?
Helps the conservatives.
No, I know.
Yeah.
It's actually more, it's more interesting.
It's so boring for me right now when I turn it off.
I can't watch it.
No.
For us, we have enough disagreement on stuff.
We may disagree on exactly how to solve a problem.
We're pointing out cultural problems, but when I'm turning on something to try to find out what's going on in an issue, I never turn on just people saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, in a circle, right?
It's not.
I want to hear if something's a contentious issue, I want to hear both sides make a good argument.
Where do you go for the best argument?
It depends.
I mean, we try to present it in such a way from their side, so we're trying to present their very best argument and our very best rebuttal.
So that's how we accomplish that.
But a lot of other shows don't even try that.
And obviously, are you talking TV shows or internet shows or both?
I always go online.
TV has nothing to do with it.
That's what I mean.
I was going to say what I have is I have tabs of conservative and then liberal, and I look at them equally.
I go, okay, let me go check out Reddit Politics.
Let me check out Reddit Conservative.
I go, let me go check out CNN.
Let me check out Fox News.
Let me check out The Hill.
Let me check out.
And that's, and I kind of have my own personalized system for that.
And then I also check social to see trends.
But I always try and see exactly how both sides are presenting the story.
And that gives you a pretty good idea as to the spin.
Yeah.
So that's kind of our process.
And then we usually bring to you as often as we can the left sources because I think it's very valuable for you to know what they're saying and for you to not be in an echo chamber.
Yeah.
So like right now I'm looking at Orthodoxy.
I'm looking at Catholicism because I want to understand the early church better.
And I'm looking for the very best Orthodox case and the very best person to make the Catholic case.
Did you grab that bridge troll from Tucker?
No.
No, I don't typically agree with a lot of what they're saying, but I want the very best case made.
And so the same thing for Protestants.
I want the very best Protestant apologist out there because I want to understand the argument.
Well, you need to go to the fiction section.
Oh, geez.
How are you going to do that, Nick?
Well, see, that's a good example.
Disagreement here.
You know, he knows he's going to burn in hell, but we still love him.
I don't, first of all, I'm kidding.
I don't know where I don't pretend to know.
No, I know.
I don't want to say agnostic, but because everybody does.
But yeah, I don't pretend to know.
I would love to know.
And I envy the Geralds of the world that are dumb enough to believe that shit.
Now, listen, but you don't have to envy Nick.
You too.
That's a joke, Gerald.
First of all, I'm pointing.
But you can't turn it off.
I said you too could be dumb enough to believe that.
True.
I don't.
I admire.
Honest to God.
I admire religious people.
I really do.
And like I said, I don't pretend to know the answer to it.
I just, I just, I'm a little cynical.
I need to touch, smell, taste.
I got to have coffee with a guy.
Yeah, but enough about the green room.
Oh, my God.
I will.
Stephen, for the love of me.
But I'll say this.
You know, right?
You know, obviously, Gerald, myself, you know where we line up as far as faith.
Yeah.
We don't proselytize.
No, you don't.
We do.
We try and be inclusive.
And hey, if you have, because we try and at least, you know, live a life that's consistent.
And of course, we're imperfect, but the worst thing people can do is just beat someone over the head with it.
I made a little doll of Nick and I put pins in it.
Yeah, I know.
It doesn't seem to work.
Well, more effective than you'd think.
That's where he's like, ah, I woke up.
My ass was killing me.
I had no idea.
It was the pins.
Josh actually found the doll and took it from me.
No, I admire people.
Honest to God.
And when I lived in Beverly Hills, my neighbors are ascetic and best neighbors ever.
Really?
No loud music, no hip-hop, no guns.
Yeah.
Well, they also don't have to.
A lot of silly hats, long coats.
Tunneled out of your house, though.
All right.
Let's grab one more quick chat and then a final chat.
Quick chat.
Quick chat.
Hannah C.I., question for Stephen.
Why do you think so many white people feel so emboldened to speak for blacks?
Because here's the thing: they know that there aren't enough black people to affect change.
That's why white people died to freed slaves because they knew if there was an uprising of every single black person, it wouldn't change.
It was a crisis of conscience, and we solved it with one of the bloodiest wars in modern history.
The problem is the left is using their pulpit to effectively put them back in chains, right?
Who said that most famously?
Who wants them on the public dole?
Who wants them to be perpetual victims and they think they're helping?
It's just, you know what it is?
It's the equivalent to a parent who lets their kid have whatever they want and they raise a spoiled brat, right?
And they think they're doing, well, no, no, no, I want to make sure.
Wait, by the way, that trend is changing now.
The parenting, the South parenting, you see all these videos now where mom's like, look, my kid doesn't listen until I yell or until I spank.
And they still love their kids.
That's the left.
It's that parent, right?
Because they think that's what's compassionate.
And those on the right are the parent who loves their child enough.
I'm not saying that black people are children.
It's called an analogy.
Shut up.
They love their children enough to teach them what's right and wrong and say, look, and if it's a really good parent, you go, look, this is what I have to do because it's right and wrong.
That's what it is.
They just, they feel like they have to do something, but they have no moral grounding.
And that's why it's never the same thing in any given decade.
That's why you're like, how is it that there are a party switch?
No, that's a myth.
It didn't happen.
No, the Democrats are the party of slavery.
The Democrats are also the party of Jim Crow.
Then the Democrats are also the party of hippies.
And they're also the party of affirmative action.
And they're also the party of, that's right, black-only spaces.
And they're also the party of Black Lives Matter.
No moral compass.
There can't be consistency because progress for the sake of progress is evil.
It is evil.
What does the devil do?
The devil misleads you.
The devil and he tells you it's for the best.
He tells you it's for your own good, right?
Because it feels good.
And so then you're led here and then all of a sudden you can't find your way back because, you know, there's no trail of breadcrumbs and you end up tossing that bitch in the oven, which was a tough story to take as a kid.
It really, really was.
By the way, if anybody ever comes up to me and says, white people are responsible for slavery, you've got two choices.
One is to say thank you, or two is to put some chains on, because I'm not going to be the guy that you just continue to berate and belittle.
That's where I love it.
Listen, I was either a part of the white guys that set you free and that's where the thank you comes in, or I'm the worst white guy you've ever met and a slaveholder.
I'm not going to be somewhere in the middle for you to go, but white slavery for 50, 60, 100 more years.
We have to stop this.
Yeah.
No, it's absolutely right.
That's a very good point.
Yeah.
How about a thank, please?
Thank you.
These are the motherfucking words.
I want to hear when you come in my motherfucking club.
Text chat.
All right.
Final chat.
All right, Cuba.
Final chat from Dame O'Knight or Damien Knight or something, whatever.
Question for Crowder.
What are your thoughts on the viewpoint that blacks are better off because slavery happens, since otherwise they'd still be in Africa?
Here's the thing.
I understand that that's a hot take.
And I understand that people say it like, and it's not lost on me that I just said, well, I guess white supremacy freed the slaves.
But hopefully I was very clear in saying I'm using her premise that the benefactors, those who benefited from white supremacy, you know, were the ones, so they're still guilty of it.
But someone saying they're better off that they were enslaved.
Again, they're picking an end point and an outpoint.
Whenever someone says selectively edited, everything is selectively edited.
Every video you ever see is selectively edited because someone decides start and stop.
Without any cuts in the middle, there still is an edit.
And that is a really valuable tool that people can use to remove context.
So if you selectively edit and go, wait a second, okay, they're here in Africa and they're slaves and they're brought to America, you go, well, yeah, they're better off because America is better than Africa.
Sure, let's expand it.
Would have been better if they were never enslaved by their black brethren.
And they're better off because they were freed in the United States.
Do I think that slaves in the new world were better off than slaves in the old world?
Well, yeah, because I think that anyone is better off than being in the old world because that old world still exists today and it's hell on earth.
But I think that someone making that argument is doing it a little bit for clicks and controversy.
I understand the case that can be made, but that's not actually the option before us.
And I think, by the way, it's a weaker argument than saying, hey, let's expand it.
Blacks were enslaving blacks.
They sold them to whites in North America, a very small percentage.
And that was the catalyst for the remaining blacks, exclusively, funny enough, in the white world to be freed.
So blacks in the United States eventually were much better off than blacks in Africa today.
That's what I think the strongest case is.
But it's tough to put that in 140 characters or less and get some clicks.
So just, you know, if people, and here's the thing, people can say something because they want to raise some eyebrows.
And I get it.
It's a tool, right?
It's a flashpoint.
But if that's all they do, this is one thing we talk about that's very different.
A lot of the people you look at, like we're in the content business.
I'll just tell you, I want to give credit to the entire team here.
You know, having to go find a taser in a World War II outfit in an AR-15 and Photoshop and cut a commercial with a fake, like there's a lot of work that goes into this, not to mention the bibliography you get every single show.
And a lot of people take part in that because everyone here is very, they're very clear as to what they do.
They're in the content business.
People may not like it.
This is the content business.
There are a lot of people who are in the click business.
You know the kind of people I'm talking about who show up once a week, maybe have an interview with someone controversial and no qualifications who will spew a bunch of crazy shits that people go, they said what, and click.
And it starts and stops there until they decide that they want to drag their lazy ass back into work maybe a week later, hold their hand out, their cup out for money and do the same thing again.
Where some of these people, and it's very short-lived, I've seen the rise and fall of many people.
It's a click and a click and a click.
And that becomes kind of like progress for the sake of progress.
A click for the sake of a click means what?
It's great if you can get a lot of people to tune into something that is valuable and that matters.
That's how we approach it.
But there are some people out there who go, ah, blacks are better off because of slavery.
Ah, five million engagements.
Great.
What'd you do with it?
Did anyone learn the history at all or gain any insight as to slavery, the African slave trade, the number of slaves that were sold versus the ones who were kidnapped, how many slaves are on earth today, or the virtues that are singularly unique to the United States of America?
If the answer is no to all of that, and if the answer is no to all that on any given topic in any given week beyond that click, beyond that controversy, that's not someone who's trying to serve you.
That's someone who is using you.
The commodity for us is content.
We live, breathe, eat, sleep, die by content.
Either we provide you with something that is of value, or we don't eat and the lights get turned off.
And there's a direct relationship because we're supported actually by viewers like you.
And I can't tell you how grateful I am for it, right?
The commodity is the content that you hopefully deem valuable, that we hopefully do enough to earn your viewership, your listenership, your trust.
In the case of someone who's exclusively in the click business, where it's just a controversy and a controversy and a controversy and nothing added, you are the commodity being traded.
You're not being served.
You're the one being traded.
Keep that in mind and just have a skeptical eye because I think you're going to see a whole lot more of it.
And it's going to be a whole lot tougher to differentiate between people who are acting in good faith and people who treat you like a commodity.
You gave them a click.
That means you gave them a couple of cents.
Thanks.
They don't need to tell you the truth.
We're going to do our best.
And if you don't believe me, every day, go check those references.
Not that you should believe CNN or Washington Post, but you know, it's the totality, right?
We'll see you tomorrow.
That's a totality.
