Mainstream Media Is Dead: Ted Baxter Journalism Runs America Now

Mainstream Media Is Dead: Ted Baxter Journalism Runs America Now

| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
It is beyond beyond my ability to start off today's subject with a thought that is cogent that does not seem to be out of the realm of orderly.
I have about 90 things to say today to you.
I've been working at this at a level today that is just spoke with Mrs. L, who will be reporting to you tomorrow about what she found out in Washington today.
I am a gog.
And all of the issues that we are dealing with.
And the thing that keeps going through my mind is this time he's over her for good.
I'm sorry, it's George Jones.
The mainstream media are so bad, so bereft, so devoid, so absent in terms of their duty to be barely passable in terms of trying to convey to you the truth of what we need to know.
Words cannot put into word into uh into effect how bad things are.
I cannot it they are so horrid.
Mainstream media is so bad.
And I don't even know where to start.
I don't even know how it got to this point.
And the people who are number one in the ratings are not necessarily better.
They're just more popular.
And I don't even know what better is.
What is it that we want or you want from a from a uh from a news organization?
Because you gotta understand something.
This there's one thing which is critical.
Nobody but nobody but nobody but nobody but nobody but nobody but nobody wants to be in the position where they are excuse me, ever asked to explain something, they react to everything in a minute's time.
The beautiful thing about doing my my show, my overnight show is the fact that I have time to explain things.
I mean, it's the most wonderful thing in the world.
I I can explain things, and you need time to explain things to people, the history and what's really going on in the world today, and that's what's so important.
And I'm gonna go through this.
I'm gonna go through that very carefully, and I want you to understand that you do not need the media to learn.
You do not need the media to learn.
One more time, my friends, and Albuquerque.
You need not the media to learn to understand.
You don't need them.
Everything that you need to know is available right here.
It's in the form of some kind of a logical or or or lore, uh, uh I say metadata.
So my friends, I say to you, thank you.
I say welcome to you, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Enjoying today, enjoy, enjoy today's Eve.
Enjoy this chance for us to get together again and to be with each other again because we are.
We look forward to meeting into a mass and saying hello, seeing who's here and who's not.
But let me also tell you something right now, which is something which is so critical.
You know, it never ceases to amaze me whenever I talk to people about this.
I'm saying uh Donald O'Donnell, um uh Alex Jones recently, Alex Jones recently spoke about something very, very critical.
He said he believes there will be contrived, forced, organized, and dare I say, pushed, racial problem strife, uh riots, and the like.
And he said it might be it might be for no other reasons than the obvious to get people going, to to cause calamity, destabilization, instability, whatever you want to call it.
And he's so incredibly right, so incredibly right.
Now, what we need to know also, and you need to know is a couple of things which are important.
Everything that we thought was impossible years ago, everything that we say, like, well, whatever is possible now.
If I said you civil war, if I mentioned false flags, strikes, supplying chain collapses, uh domestic terrorism, lockdowns, freakouts, blackouts, EMP, riots, just shall I go on?
It's not tomorrow's nightmare.
It's today's reality.
And the systems and the organizations that we trusted and that we thought were always gonna be there are crumbling by design all the time.
And one week without food, and you will learn fast.
You will learn fast.
Cash cards, Bitcoin, even gold itself, won't feed your family.

You know, we were talking so much about Jimmy Kimball.
Jimmy Kimble, Jimmy Kim, oh my god, Jimmy Gimble, Jimmy Campbell, Jimmy Kimbo, the president.
Oh, what are news?
The president is what he's doing, by the way, is just boorish.
He's basically B. He is, he is so ballsy.
He can't mean half of what he's saying.
He can't mean half.
Gene Crane, ladies and gentlemen, says, Hold it.
Gene says, I know this is off topic, but do you know if Tyler Robinson had a job?
Just wondering who or who was paying his bills?
Thank you.
Don't know.
I think he was.
I think he was trying to do something in the electric field or something.
I don't know.
I don't know.
That story, by the way, gee, stinks.
Gene, could you tell me right now?
And by the way, don't ever say the off topic.
There's no such thing as off topic.
What's the number one piece of evidence linking him to his guilt?
Go ahead.
What's the number one piece of evidence linking him to guilt?
When he pleads guilty.
Remember, corpus delicti.
Corpus delicti.
Corpus.
Delicta.
In order, and the summer is the body of the crime.
In order for you to introduce a confession, there has to be in essence a body of a crime.
Now, that requirement has certainly been met.
It's been met.
There's no doubt about that whatsoever.
But the question that I have, and what's really critical to know is, what is it that he will be pleading guilty to The best piece of evidence shows what exactly.
What does the what does the evidence show?
What does the evidence show?
What does the most what does the main evidence show regarding his guilt?
Tell me, what is it?
What is it?
He's pleading guilty because of what?
Because of what?
If I walked in and I said, okay, um, somebody went and they took my gun, my rifle.
They they found it.
They found it.
They somebody broke in, took my weapon, took it, took it, and went out and went out into the street and whatever, and just took it and put it, let's say, in a place where there was a whatever one.
What's the connection?
What's my connection?
Anybody know?
What are they telling you?
Is it what are they telling you?
What are they telling you?
Have they said we have linked ballistics?
No.
Why wouldn't they tell you that?
I don't know.
Why wouldn't they tell you?
I don't know why they wouldn't tell you.
Why don't you think I don't know why they wouldn't tell you?
I don't know why.
I don't understand it.
I will never understand.
I will never grasp.
I will never understand.
I will never in any way put.
I'll never be able to fathom why they do this.
Kelly McKinnon, ladies and gentlemen.
Kelly, you are a delight.
You were a doll.
Thank you.
Thank you for your for your for your for your love.
I appreciate that immensely.
What is it?
Do you think maybe somebody look?
I know these.
Look, I know these cable news shows.
Is it is it on American to say, where's the evidence of this?
Don't ask that.
Charlie Kirk was a good guy.
I know.
Where is the evidence of this?
Where is it?
I'm still trying to figure out where why Cash Bazell said Valhalla.
And by the way, there's some kind of a connection between the computer that was found on his desk and it was open to some some lap, some eyelet.
There's always somebody making connection.
Have you seen the rules of 33, the Masonic 33?
KKK, 1111.
11 times 3 is 33.
I mean, there's all this 33 stuff.
33.
There were 33.
Uh it was 33 days before Charlie's birthday and all this stuff.
Where is the evidence?
Where is the evidence?
Where?
Where?
Where is it?
Somebody wants to, Anthony McKenna wants to free Tyler Robinson.
Why is that, Anthony?
Tell us.
Love to have you explain this to us.
Do you think they have the wrong person?
Do you what in particular?
And you did you see that?
Who is it?
Did he miss Gene Crane's super chat?
I did not.
It's the first one I read.
He just read.
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
I just read it.
I just read it.
Liz, what's the matter with you?
I read the first.
They said, do you did is he out of work?
I said anybody now.
I said, what's the matter?
You okay there, Lizzie?
Lizzie, what are you doing?
Are you hitting the sauce?
Are you hitting the cookie sherry this early?
What are you doing?
So who wants him?
Who wants him?
Oh, I Rick.
Stop it.
Rick.
Don't say the obvious.
Please.
Don't don't please.
Don't stand up like in a cartoon and say, this isn't real.
This isn't real.
The roadrunner didn't really jump.
Please, we know this.
I want to know.
Somebody, if somebody honest to God, seriously, understands.
What is going on?
Does anybody really want to free?
Anybody here want to free uh Luigi Manjoni?
Anybody want to do that?
Please.
anybody?
Anybody?
Okay.
What are they going after Liz?
What does this mean?
Vecrinhart.
Dang.
Going after Liz now.
Who is who is who is Liz?
What does this mean?
I I should I should always stop.
I tell myself, don't read these comments.
Don't read the comments.
Why?
It kills the show.
It throws off anybody listening who is, let's say, driving in a car, and they're saying, who is he talking to?
Who is he talking to?
Who are these people?
And I do it.
I do it because I feel like, well, that's the beautiful part.
I don't know.
And then I see this.
What does this mean?
So I've got to stop doing it.
My question to you was simply this, my friend.
There's no evidence that we have heard that connects Tyler with the rifle, other than the fact, I mean, he he owns it.
It's his rifle.
He claims it.
But as far as being the murder weapon, anybody.
Have you seen any of the uh alternative theories as to shooters?
That's very interesting.
Did you ever hear anybody say that the particular way that they were talking in the language that this fellow used was not in any way uh similar to that of a person of his age?
I think he used the word vehicle or something.
I mean it's almost like they want you to uh Um anyway, you you have to ask yourself, what is it that we want?
I want somebody to say, by the way, if I stand up and say, hey, listen, uh, you know, there's evidence missing, nobody really cares.
Let's talk about Jimmy Kimmel.
And Jimmy Kimmel, everybody loves to talk about Jimmy Kimmel.
Jimmy Kimmel is not a story.
Jimmy Kimmel is a story.
Jimmy Kimmel, we love to hate.
Jimmy Kimmel, we love to hate.
We feel good about Jimmy Kimmel because we hate Jimmy Kimmel.
We hate his politics, we hate what he said, we hate the nastiness he said about us, he calls us crazy, calls our president crazy, calls everybody crazy.
It makes us absolutely crazy.
And the thing is is that these are folks, these are these are things that people really don't want to talk about because of the fact that he's just he's just so miserable.
And the fact that he was seen driving around, driving around upset, driving around this car, driving around looking mean, looking miffed, looking upset, looking, looking upset, looking looking angry, and we like to see it because we like to see our enemies suffer.
We like to see them.
Who would you love to see if we could say, okay, I'll tell you what, I make a deal with you.
I'm gonna give Jimmy back his job, but I will find somebody even more appropriate.
Whose job would you love to see completely?
Who would you love to see gone?
Who?
Who above, over and above, over and above Jimmy Kimmel.
Who is the number one person that I could push a button and you would never see again?
Who was it?
Who?
Who?
Who is it?
The view?
Okay, we're getting close.
The entire view?
No, Joy Behar.
Joy Behar.
Joy Behart.
You write the view now because you've got these other ones who are who are I who are terrible.
That's it.
Next, do not say that somebody is not funny.
Do not say that somebody is not funny.
They're not funny to you.
I would never go and say somebody is not funny.
Somebody's not interesting, somebody's not in, somebody is not talented, somebody can't sing, somebody can't.
Those songs, you can't, you can't do that.
You can't do that.
You cannot do that.
I don't understand comedy.
Comedy is what you like.
Comedy is like the people that you marry.
Comedy is the people you fall in love with.
Comedy, comedy is this, it's personal to you.
You can't say who was funny and who was not.
Jimmy Kimmel at one time was hooked up with that Sarah Silverman, who has a Freudian anal and schatological fetish.
Oh, she really, really, really, if you listen to her, she is so something.
I mean, it's almost very dark.
It's almost uh uh, well, that's a bit much.
So I don't know who's funny.
Some things I don't understand.
I know people like, for example, I know that Joe Rogan loves to think of himself and loves to hear and talk about comics and how comics are the greatest group of people who I had I am so I was so burned out.
I never met comics in the world.
Let me tell you what happened.
Years ago, I had an opportunity to work with a bunch of comics.
It was a kind of a comedy thing, make another story short, and they were they were a part of a group of folks who were a part of a this angry mean uh I I don't know what it is, but everything that I grew up with, I didn't hear it.
Okay, fine.
Maybe I don't know what's going on.
Maybe maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm just dumb.
Maybe I'm just dumb.
Maybe I'm just dumb.
I don't know these things.
Maybe, maybe that's it.
Maybe I just don't know what funny is.
So I found these.
None of them were funny.
In fact, the people that I work with, had you met them in a in a I don't know, party, you say, guess what you do?
The last thing you would ever think would be funny.
Uh uh comedy.
Well, cut to the chase.
Years later, I reconnected with one of these folks after after the fact.
Considered one of the most one of the brightest, but had an anger and had a deep-seated.
Anyway, today, this person is so angry with the world, that he tried to get some new comedy gigs, and everywhere he ran into, he was net met with the single lesbian cat lady, angry man hater.
And I'm paraphrasing.
He couldn't believe it.
I said, You sound like uh you sound like people think I am.
Something happened.
And by the way, I don't want to ask why.
I want to say this is what happened.
Certain things happen in our world, certain things happen.
Lady, you ladies, you've seen this in clothing, you've seen this in fashion.
Men, you could say they're not wearing hats anymore.
They don't wear a suit anymore.
They don't wear.
Remember when people would go to a baseball game wearing a suit.
The suit, the suit, the suit and tie.
It was more comfortable, it was tailored better in the old days, and people wore it all the time with a hat.
And it was just the way it is.
Now, one day that stopped.
I don't know when, maybe four's 50s.
Certainly, I think after the Korean War, everything changed.
Certain things change.
And it's not right or wrong or whatever, they just certain things change.
And comedy was one of those things that just changed, or whatever it is.
I don't know.
And I don't really care.
I think it's more diverse.
Uh, remember, in the old days, there was a fellow by the name of Bob Newhart.
And Bob Newhart broke the record for at that time, and maybe by proportion, the greatest, the biggest, the biggest, the greatest, the most critically the uh button-down mind was the biggest comedy album.
They said, you're not gonna put a comedy album out because first of all, you you have nobody's gonna listen to it again, and they did.
Bill Cosby, Bill Cosby.
Bill Cosby was on joy uh uh uh the best is Bill Maher, Bill Maher fancies himself a comedian.
He people write for him.
Sometimes he'll tell a joke, he'll say it, and it sounds like he's saying it as for the first time when he's reading it on the prompter.
So they were talking about Bill Cosby, and I forget who it was exactly, but Bill Cosby, he was talking to somebody, some star, and I saw this on one of these short rotations.
Bill Maher is a well, I don't know what he is.
His personal life, you don't want to hear about it.
I can't say it on YouTube, but what I hear, and everybody knows, ooh, ooh, anyway.
Bill Cosby was a genius.
Bill Cosby was an absolute genius.
Bill Cosby, nobody, he told stories.
He was a natural, natural comedian, natural.
He was a storyteller, and storytelling is so difficult.
You know who's a great storyteller?
Dave Chappelle.
Um Louis C.K. is a great storyteller.
Let me ask you this question.
Why do you not think there are not more female comics?
Class, what do you think?
What do you think?
What do you think?
Why do you think?
Why do you think Today.
There are more male comics, which is what Kimmy Kimball is.
Why do you think that is?
Lavelle Crawford.
I think I've seen him.
Very funny.
He is so uh that's the black gentleman, right?
Very heavy set.
He would be arrested if a black man he made a joke about uh Trump, which I can't even replay.
Yep.
Bill Cosby, why is their heir?
To Russell, my brother, whom I slept with.
Roseanne is my favorite.
Talk to Roseanne's son today.
Um I was gonna book, I'm gonna book uh Roseanne for my uh doing the radio show, but Roseanne uh we're gonna do it yesterday, but she's she's uh uh we have to re-redo this.
Uh Mrs. L and I drove to uh Ben no no Jim Thorpe Ben Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania to see her we're we were at an event.
This place was so packed, they love her.
Roseanne did something which is but let me go back to you.
Why do you think there are few Roseanne is a little different?
What is the story?
One.
One.
I'm serious.
Answer this question.
Why do you think there are not more women comics?
Why?
Rita Rudnum was funny, okay?
Joan Rivers.
We can mention some fun coming.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, fine, fine, fine.
Okay, Toady Fields.
Uh Mom's Mabel.
Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine.
That's great.
We're not asking the question is not, can you think of anybody that you liked in the 80s?
No.
Question is why are there not more?
And are men funnier than women?
Is this something?
Yes or no?
Answer that question.
Focus on that question.
Why?
Why?
They only gave Samantha B a show because Orange Man bad.
Samantha B was a very good tactician.
She was actually very, very funny.
If she got off the subject, see, you can be funny.
You can be funny, but if the subject matter you you won't find it funny, but other people are rolling, rolling on the floor.
Okay, so what is it?
Again, somebody says Phyllis Diller.
The question is not, can you think of people who were funny?
That's not the question.
Why do you think men are funnier?
We're wired differently.
Is that true?
Veck Rinhart said something smart just now.
Are men wired funny?
What is it about?
Here we go.
Signar, she's gonna mention names.
K Ballard, Kay Ballard, K Ballard was more of a musical actor, she wasn't really a comedian.
Signor, Signor Stronzo, he's just gonna mention names.
He's gonna mention names.
Okay, that's what we're why do you think that is?
Women want to be adored, not laughed at.
No.
No.
Women laughed at you're not laughing at them and mocking derision.
You're laughing at them because of a talent.
You're laughing at somebody because they're funny because they're smart.
Women do want to do that.
Why?
Women are funny because only talk about female stuff.
Did you see this right now?
Did you see this right now?
More Mara Mayer says women aren't funny because they only talk about female stuff.
Believe it or not.
Most women uh probably don't want to travel and have children.
They probably don't want to have travel and have children.
You meant they don't want to travel and they want to have children.
That could be very that's gonna be true.
It's part of it.
Women are too sensitive.
No, no, no, no.
That's not it.
I think women from where they are.
A woman has to be one of the guys to make it, but only the men are funnier.
Okay.
Let me ask you something, dear friends.
Do you know oh George Carlin?
Somebody's gonna just mention a name.
Okay, fine.
Again, Jackie Leonard.
Okay, fine.
Let's go further.
Why do you think that is?
Ladies, ladies.
Have you or your friends, your female friends, ever told a joke?
Stop right there.
Have you told the joke?
Do you tell jokes?
No.
Do you tell?
Oop.
I'm stuck here.
Let me get rid of that.
Do you tell jokes?
Do you tell jokes?
Anybody?
Anybody?
Okay, somebody says he loves women.
That's great.
Glad to clear that up.
Do women tell jokes to each other?
Do women laugh?
I'm serious.
I'm not trying to be corny.
Not laughing at somebody, but laughing about a joke.
Two guys walk into a bar.
There's a parrot on his arm.
Anybody?
Do women do?
Do women do women tell jokes?
No, they do not.
This is the toughest group in the world.
This is group.
Maybe, by the way, if this was this crew, and by the way, if you're listening elsewhere, I'm I'm responding to our live crowd here.
Do they do it?
No.
Women do not tell jokes.
The idea of being funny, standing up, it is a masculine, a very aggressive thing.
That's why a lot of the women comics, a lot of them, not all, a lot of them, are lesbian.
We used to call them lesbian.
And I knew a person.
I used to do this stand-up routine and found it.
Kind of interesting, but somebody who happened to be gay, a gay woman, said to me when they the issue was, they said, Do you think do people oh they said do you do people know that Ellen was gay or Roseanne?
No, Rosanne.
Roseanne's not gay.
Um, that uh uh Rosie O'Donnell is gay.
Do they know this?
And they said, no, they don't, because people in the Midwest don't really know this yet.
They're not really familiar with it.
Okay, why do they think they don't know?
But the people who tend to be comics to stand up, it's in a very it's a very aggressive thing.
There's a lot about Roseanne that's tough, she's aggressive.
To stand, I would say to be an actor, an actress, but in particular, to sit there and make people laugh.
It's kind of look at me and pay attention.
You have to command it.
It's a very aggressive thing.
It's almost violent in some respects.
You see what I'm saying?
Women are not funny.
They're they're they're they may laugh at things, they may have a sense of humor, but for the most part, you don't see as many as men do.
And there's also something too.
I hate when you go to a comedy club, and everybody who does comedy has to have this picture like this.
They have to be like, they have to make this over acting reactive.
And by the way, there's some great comic, great stuff from people you never heard of, but they're very, it's very, very good.
Somebody mentioned something the other day.
When I see a woman comic, and I saw that, I used to first thing I know I don't want to see a couple of things.
So no, I I don't want to hear a woman who comes out and talking about, you know, my period, you know, these kids, my husband's, oh no.
I don't want to hear about jokes.
Or I loved Robert Klein, loved him, and then he got very angry, and then he got into this thing where he was very not only left but militant left, were annoyingly left, and that eliminates half of the argument or half of the audience.
But then he also start talking about being old.
I'm so old.
Look at this.
Someone's losing his hair, he got a colonoscopy, and I'm old, and I can't, I can't cross the street anymore, and I'm old.
The age thing really affected him.
And I did, I wasn't connecting to it anymore.
I don't want to hear about old jokes.
Now, there have you seen this old man?
He's a he's a stand-up.
He looks like in his 80s, you've got to sit down.
Absolutely one of the funniest people ever.
And he does jokes about being old, but for some reason it works.
I don't know his name.
You might have seen him.
There was a fellow named.
There's so many good ones everybody like cut up chatters as Lionel.
Remember, I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore from Network?
Yes, that was Howard Beale.
That was a great uh uh Finch.
wasn't it Finch, the actor who died before he won, he won the the uh the Oscar for that.
It was the most important, most critical.
By the way, he's one of the three people, the three people that are my heroes, the people that make the most of me is um is him, of course.
Uh what is his name?
Is it Finch?
Uh what was his name?
Howard Beale, actor, network, and his name is very good.
Network was so good.
There was a Patty Chaevsky.
If you read Patty Chaevsky, you will understand how it all works.
Patty Chaevsky is the greatest, one of the greatest writers ever.
Patty Chaevsky was absolutely Peter Finch, I believe.
The piece he wrote for Ned Beatty when he says, You have tampered with the forces of evil, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it.
He uses the word, one of my favorite words, immain for for large, very rare.
Most but you was brilliant.
Did you read his word?
Did you read, see, The Hospital?
Oh my god.
George C. Scott, absolutely the greatest right, and you had to remember the lines exactly.
Uh Ned Beatty was so good he memorized an entire piece on an uh on a flight.
Incredible.
I mean, it was incredible.
You have Petrodollars, oh my god.
Peter Finch, but let's go back.
The notion of standing up and being funny.
I'm not asking you the idea of.
But Joe Rogan, whom I respect, I've seen his stand-up, whatever.
I and other people may like it.
I don't know.
I don't, it's one of those things where I I've never laughed.
Robert Klein, I thought was the only person who ever made me laugh.
I mean, really, I saw him in concert, open form, child of the 50s.
He was brilliant.
Okay, fine.
That's it.
It's done.
I'm not going to argue about why.
He was so well, he was so well trained.
He was an actor.
He went to Yale Drama School and he was on Broadway.
And it's a performance thing.
When you see Pete Davidson, a lot of these jokes are written, so you go on and deliver them.
And I don't want to bemoan the point.
But what I'm trying to tell you is very simply this.
There's something that happens, something that changes, something that these people have to have to reckon with.
And that's the idea that people do not necessarily like things that are.
By the way, Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wigg, they're actresses, not comedians.
Remember the difference.
Remember the difference.
Roseanne was both.
She's an actor, great actress, and but Kristen or Kirsten, whatever Wig is an actress.
She might be a good writer, but she's an actress.
She's a character performer.
She's sketch comic, that kind of thing.
But to stand up there and do this, do you ever wonder why?
Kind of thing.
Joy Behar was a comedian.
And I think, by the way, that anger and that hostility.
See, I've always thought that I'm very, very strong in my political beliefs, but I don't think it overwhelms me.
I was listening today and I was making the argument that I think that Kamala Harris was correct when she said she would have picked Pete Booty giggity giggity.
And I think she's 100% correct over Camp on Timmy.
100%.
They're both bad, but Timmy was the worst.
She had happened to her, what John McCain happened when they gave her Sarah Palin.
So anyway, you're seeing something right now.
It goes to show you this anger.
These are very angry people.
And it permeates their music.
It permeates their everything, their relationships, their business, their parenting, their outlook on life, their angry.
Trump was the potentiator who opened this anger up in layers nobody ever thought before.
I mean, seriously, it it did, it did something I never thought even possible.
Cut up says Ellen is a complete fraud.
Yes, for many, many reasons.
She's a complete fraud.
A lot of people are fraud.
Uh the biggest fraud, maybe of them all, and she's not a comedian, is Madonna.
But Donna is really.
I mean evil.
Uh just really from another another planet.
Uh say what you thought about Whoopi Goldberg.
Whoopi Goldberg is very talented.
Sister Act and Stan, her stand-up comedy, one woman.
She is re I mean, she's really talented.
She can do a lot of different things.
Very, very good.
Excellent.
The whole thing's also which I find impersonators.
I don't impressionist, I don't find for the most part.
There was a guy right now who can do Randy Macho Man Savage.
Better, I don't forget his name.
But he can do this imitation better than anyone else.
There's a fellow named Sasso, big big comedian.
He was a mad TV.
He is such a Trump hater that I can't get past that.
Johnny Carson said he never would let anybody know what his particular politics was or were.
He never did that because he realized why are you gonna lose half of your audience?
So anyway, so that's where we are right now, my friends.
That's where we are, and it's one of the things too, and again, it's not to find out who's funny, who's not funny.
We can argue this all day long.
You may there was a time in this country when we found Milton Burl to be one of the funniest people, and I do not understand it.
No, the guy who does the great Tony Soprano, no, not Will Sasso.
There's a guy named Max.
He might be dead.
His name is Max.
You can see him online.
Does the best Tony Soprano ever?
I mean, getting little nuances.
Remember how nobody could get past the Trump imitation for a while.
Alec Baldwin, who does Tony Bennett and does oh great, great, great.
He's he does uh Albert, you know.
Alec Baldwin's very talented, very funny, but but consumed by anger.
How about that?
That nutty wife of his who's gonna lose dancing with the stars, hilarious, who ain't hilarious.
Anyway, he was doing this kind this imitation of Trump, and then this young guy on SNL, something Austin to three name deal, kind of skinny, did the best, the best, and everybody copied him.
He had to find out what Trump did, and people ended up copying him.
I can't do Trump.
You know, he does the breathing and the he was great.
There's a young man now, Friedman or something, who's really a good actor, very, very good, very, very funny, has great stuff.
But the first guy to do Trump, I believe, was on SNL, skinny guy who he looks like Will Lee, the bass player, I think.
Anybody's now, and then everybody from then on.
It's like when somebody said on keep holster for Boris Carloff, whenever people wanted to do imitate Nixon, they imitated David Fry.
David Fry was my fellow American.
He did that, and people remember him.
Okay.
So Trump now is everybody does this, you know.
So anyway, my friends, I thank you.
I thank you.
I thank you for listening.
I thank you for being a part of this.
