But I was telling you 43 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: we went to the tennis to SUSA for a two 44 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: thousand mules last night and I overserved myself. So my 45 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: apologies to you and the audience. I'm it's self inflicted. 46 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: But I have a little on the struggle bus. Today. 47 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: We get through this thing at mar Lago, which is 48 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: in West Palm here in Florida, and you know, we're 49 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: at the beginning of May in Florida. This is my 50 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: first spring and into summer here in Florida, and I'm 51 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: told it's going to get very hot and very humid. 52 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: So I got there and I just assumed this thing 53 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: was going to be a c indoors, you know, nice 54 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: and chili and all these fancy people in their tuxedos. 55 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: And we get out there and it's blair ring hot. 56 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: It's outdoors. The bars are like baked in the sun. 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: Everyone is dripping. And Lisa, were you there for the 58 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: guy who fell in the pool? Did you see that? 59 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: So I didn't see it, but I saw the aftermath, 60 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: and I I'm just glad it wasn't me. But because 61 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: there's nothing worse than like being wet and you're you know, 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: like it's just a terrible feeling. So I feel bad 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: for that guy. I've got I've got sympathy for him. 64 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: But but fortunately I was you know, I stayed away 65 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: from the pool area, so I was good. I can 66 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: I can confirm to the audience it was not you. 67 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: It was a rather portly fella. And but he came out. 68 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: He had a big smile on his face. Everyone gave 69 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: him a round of applause, and it's all good. But 70 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: we've been fortunate because I've gotten to know you more 71 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: since now we're both Floridians. And what's hilarious is you 72 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: as a good friend. We were trying to set me 73 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: up with someone, which is a sign of a good 74 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: friend because you want to you want to take care 75 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: of me. You don't want me to be old and 76 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: alone and have like thirty cats at some point. So 77 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: it's like it's a sign of friendship, you know. But 78 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: hilarious is you're like telling about this guy and then 79 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, I did it didn't work out? 80 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: That's very kind of you. Well, so so you know, look, 81 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: you're you're awesome. I just think you're great. You're obviously 82 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: gonna find a great guy with the time is right. 83 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: But you know, a few months ago you said that 84 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: you were single, and you're kind of you know, you're looking. 85 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: So I happened to be out one night with my 86 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: friend Douglas Murray, who you may know. He's a great 87 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: British conservative author, and he introduced me to this other 88 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: guy and we're out having drinks and the guy's he's 89 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: very handsome, he's a he's a model, and he seems 90 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: to get it politically. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, 91 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: this guy is pretty bright, he's on the ball. Young 92 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: guy seems about Lisa's age. I think they'd really hit 93 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: it off. So I text you before I even say anything. Oh, 94 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: I asked the guy if he single. He says he's single. 95 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: And then I text you. I said, Lisa, send me 96 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: the hottest shot that you got right now, and I 97 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: think this is the one. And you sent me. You know, 98 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: you're off. You're on a balcony somewhere and the wind 99 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: is blowing in the air is blowing. You look rather stunning. 100 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: And I show it to the guy. I said, I 101 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: think I got the girl for you. I show him 102 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: the picture and he's like, you're not going to believe 103 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: that I dated her. I know, but it was so 104 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: continued to try. But you know what I said to myself, 105 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: I said that Dave Ruben, he's a friend, and so 106 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: I appreciate. I was looking out, I was looking up. 107 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: But you're gonna You're gonna find a great guy. You know, 108 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: it's just obvious, you know, I know, it's it's a 109 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: little harder. I mean, that really is true. You know, girls, generally, 110 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: I've found UM girls usually in there sort of let's say, 111 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: mid twenties into their thirties and even beyond that better 112 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: single usually have their stuff together way more than the 113 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: guys do. We definitely are in this weird thing in 114 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: America right now where guys are in like a more 115 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: of a slow maturation process. I think that might be 116 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: changing a little bit, and it probably definitely is changing 117 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: when it comes to more of like a conservative set 118 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: of guys. UM. But I know a lot of great 119 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: girls that are having trouble just finding guys who kind 120 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: of have their stuff together, who maybe do a little 121 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: bit of the Jordan's Peterson stand up straight with your 122 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: shoulders back and you know, get yourself into the world 123 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: in a sensible way. So I know a lot of 124 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: cool girls and that, and then that that makes it 125 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: obviously tougher because the pool then becomes a little bit 126 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: thinner if you're in the market for a dude. Well, 127 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: I feel like it's harder when you get older because 128 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: you're looking for different things in life, right, Like it's 129 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: not you're not just looking to like go on dates 130 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: and have fun whatever, like You're you're looking for, Okay, 131 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: is this Could this person be a husband? Could this 132 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: person be a father? You know, like you just don't 133 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: have as much time to like waste with someone, so 134 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: you just become like a little more judicious in the process. 135 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: But that's probably because I didn't do those things earlier, 136 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: is probably what I'm saying. Seven. So I wish I 137 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: wish I had gone to that, you know, conclusion. But 138 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's all good in life. I appreciate that. 139 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: And we've we've been fortunate because we live in the 140 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: state of Florida. I mean, how much do you love 141 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: being a Floridian? I freaking all love it. I mean, 142 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: like beyond love it. I know how much you love it. 143 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: I know how much everyone here that now has trans planted, 144 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: and I know an awful lot of refugees how much 145 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: they love it. But I don't know that there's anyone 146 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: that has loved every minute of living in Florida more 147 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: than me. I got here about now, it's about five 148 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: months ago or so, and I wake up every morning 149 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: and the sun is shining, and the frogs are croaking, 150 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: and the lizards are climbing around, and my dog's going 151 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: crazy to these, hunting all of them. And you know, 152 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: the spirit of freedom here, I mean the smiling faces 153 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: after living in Los Angeles, especially for the last two 154 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: years of COVID, where you never saw people everyone, and 155 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: when you rarely did, they were just so depressed and 156 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: anti social and there was such a depression in terms 157 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: of the economic activity, and everything was closed and dirty 158 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: and homelessness and all of the broken windows, all the stuff. 159 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: And you come here and you and I both live 160 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: in the Miami area and it's clean and it's nice 161 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: and even like just the trees and the leaves, everything 162 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: feels so good. And then the fact that you know, 163 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: for for people like you and me, Lesa like to live, 164 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: to do what we do for a living, where we 165 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: talk about politics and you know, to live in a 166 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: place that is in line with our politics. I really forgot, 167 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: having lived lived in California, how when you live in 168 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: a place that's so disconnected from how you actually believe 169 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: and want to live, it does great on you over time. 170 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: And I was at a one eighty opposite with basically 171 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: everyone at a public level in California, whether it was 172 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: my mayor Eric Arsetti or the crazy psycho governor Gavin Newsom. 173 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: And I did everything I could to get the guy recalled, 174 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: and then I campaigned with Larry Elder. It obviously didn't work, 175 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: and then that was the last straw. I got audited 176 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: by the state three days later, and I said, that's it. 177 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm out of here. And it was the best decision 178 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: I ever made. Well, and then that was I mean, 179 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: that was kind of crazy for them to But we're 180 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: saying this all the time though, I mean, like the 181 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: government just politically going after uh, you know, people who 182 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: don't subscribe to their leftist bus and it's it's but 183 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: it's only it seemingly only goes one way. You know, 184 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: these people are, They're exactly what they all purported Trump 185 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: to be. They all thought Trump was going to use 186 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: the levers of the state to punish his opponents and 187 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: people down and blah blah blah. And meanwhile it's like, 188 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: you know what, it was actually the I R S 189 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: under Obama Lowis Learner that was hunting down the Tea 190 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: Party groups because they didn't like what they were doing. 191 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: In this case, it was me campaigning obviously to get 192 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom recalled with Larry Elder, who was a great, 193 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: great man. And then I get audited. So this is 194 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: what they do. And that's just like, that's just one 195 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: oh one for what the left is up to these days. 196 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: They accuse you of doing exactly what they're doing, but 197 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: it's so much more overt now. I mean, they quite 198 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: literally have a ministry of truth and you know, just 199 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: but the wheel, the wielding of the guard. I just 200 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of times before there was at 201 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: least some effort to conceal like this totalitarianism, communism, authoritary 202 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: and now they're just overt with it. They don't even 203 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: care anymore. There's no attempt to hide like the abuse 204 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: of power and their their hatred for us. Isn't there 205 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: something kind of refreshing about that? O Like it really 206 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: is out in the open right now. There's you know, 207 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: I do it on my show all the time. It's like, man, 208 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: I wish I could count the remaining good liberals, the 209 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: remaining sort of somewhat sane moderate Democrats, and you know, 210 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: I can usually do it all on one hand because 211 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: you've got Tulsi who's completely on the outs from her 212 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: own party because she is a moderate. And then you know, 213 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: maybe you've got half a bill Mare depending on what 214 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: day it is, and you know, okay, there's sort of 215 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: Barry Wise every now and again. But the point is 216 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: there are no moderates left. They've let the inmates run 217 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: the asylum. But I think in some ways it's making 218 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: our job easier because you know, whether you're a libertarian 219 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: or conservative or you're just an ex liberal or something 220 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: like that, it's like, man, we're happier. I think we 221 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: have a better sense of really what reality is and 222 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: what the world is. And that's been an interesting thing 223 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: for me. You know, we have a we have a 224 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: fun crew here of you know, like internet personalities that 225 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: we've gone to dinners with and hung out with and stuff, 226 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: and it's like these people are happy, and it doesn't 227 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: we have some political difference is but nobody cares. It's 228 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: just it's just irrelevant to to us all trying to 229 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: live happy lives and do good work and you know, 230 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: make Florida the best part and that it can be well. 231 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: I think Tucker recently said that the left is now 232 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: the party of weak men and unhappy women, which I 233 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: think pretty much. But they really do just seem miserable. 234 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: And you know, you used to be a progressive. You 235 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: obviously aren't miserable, You're amazing, But what was that turning 236 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: point for you when you're just like, you know what, 237 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: this just doesn't drive with me anywhere. I don't subscribe 238 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: to this, Like what what was it for you? That's 239 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: sort of just kind of set that that light bulb 240 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: off in your head. I mean, there were a lot 241 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: of things it was sort of it was I think 242 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: what happens to a lot of people. It's similar to 243 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: what happened to me, which is there's a bunch of 244 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: slow motion things and then suddenly something that completely tips 245 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: you over and you're like, holy cow, that really just happened. 246 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: That's why that's why they call it the red pill, 247 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: because you have like these hints that something is up. Uh, 248 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: sort of like Neo had before the moment, and then 249 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: you take the red them then you go, wow, I 250 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: really was seeing things backwards. Uh. There's a few moments 251 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: for me. Most famously was this moment where I was 252 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: still on the left and I had Larry Elder on. 253 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: This is now seven years ago or so, and we 254 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: we were talking about systemic racism and he just beat 255 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: me senseless with facts and I wasn't armed to fight 256 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: back because I was a lefty and what lefties do 257 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: is you just say something and you think because you 258 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: say it, it's true. So you say systemic racism, and 259 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: then you think, oh, I said it, so it must 260 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: be true. Everyone says it's systemic racism, it's systemically racist. 261 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: And he really went after me with stacks and statistics 262 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: and figures, and instead of doing what the knee jerk 263 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: lefty thing is, which is yelling at him and calling 264 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: him a racist whatever, I just kind of listened and 265 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: this all happened live on camera, and from that moment 266 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: I started just being willing to talk to some of 267 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: the people that I thought were my opponents. So you know, 268 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: soon after that, I had the scary Glenn back on, 269 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: and I had the scary Dennis Praeger and the very 270 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: very scary five ft seven Ben Shapiro. And what I 271 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: realized was, well, I had some political different disagreements with them, 272 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: but they were nice people, and I actually thought that 273 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: they were quite thoughtful and um and in many ways 274 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: generous of spirit. Now that I've become friends with all 275 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: of them, I find them to be great people. So 276 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: you just need one moment that kind of tips you over. 277 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: And I think the challenge for us always is getting 278 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: people to that moment, you know, if you can just 279 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: leave them long enough and then they have to just 280 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: kind of get that last moment themselves well. And there's 281 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: people like that that are on the cost, Like you 282 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: look at people like Baumert. I know you've talked about 283 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: this on your show. You know, you've got people like 284 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: bou Mar who you know makes a lot of sense 285 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the time, but he just can't seem 286 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: to completely come around. You know, It's like, why why 287 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: do you think he can't completely what? What's blocking? Is 288 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: it just you know, for publicity, worried about losing street 289 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: credit or why can't some of these people just fully 290 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: like they're they're at the cost, right? I think they're 291 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: right there, but they just can't get there complete. He's 292 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: kind of the most interesting case. And that's why I 293 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: talk about him so much, because, you know, he's been 294 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: the standard bearer for liberalism in America for thirty years 295 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: at least, it's actually more than thirty years, and now 296 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: at this point between politically and correct and real time 297 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: and doing stand up. Before that, he was the sort 298 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: of most outspoken political comedian. We had George Carlin before him, 299 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: but in terms of like cultural irrelevance, and obviously George 300 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: Carlin passed away ten years ago or whatever. Um, Bill 301 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: mart you know what he seems to do now is 302 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: he gets everything two years too late. So, you know, 303 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: in the last couple of months, he's suddenly speaking out 304 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: against the gender stuff, but we've all been talking about 305 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: it for a couple of years. He's talking out against 306 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: critical race theory in schools, but we've all been talking 307 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: about it for a couple of years. In the last 308 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: few weeks he started talking out against blockdowns and masks. Again, 309 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: we've all been talking about it for two years. Um. 310 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: You know, he's been consistently good on free speech, so 311 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: i'll give him that one. Um, But at the same time. 312 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: You know, this is a guy who said in the 313 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: middle of the Trump presidency that he wanted or session 314 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: because it would take out Trump. And it's like, well, 315 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: you ended up supporting by it, and then congratulations, we 316 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: basically have a recession. I think for Bill Maher and 317 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: for a lot of the liberals, there's two. I think 318 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: there's three things, really, but I think there's two that 319 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: become almost intractable and that's why they don't get to 320 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: the end. I think the first one is often they 321 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: don't think through the issues, so they so one issue 322 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: that keeps getting them is the welfare state. They think 323 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: that they're good just because they think taxes should go 324 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: to help poor people. I would say in that one, 325 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: all they have to do is read the Thomas Soul 326 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: book or just basically any libertarian economics economists to understand 327 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: why that doesn't work. So I think I think we 328 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: can probably move them past that, and I do see 329 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: some movement there. The two that I think of the 330 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: real issue, and one is very unique to build one 331 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: is the one is the issue that's hot right now, 332 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: which is abortion. Um, they've really the less has really 333 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: fetishized abortion in such a twisted way. And I say 334 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: this as someone that's begrudgingly pro choice at least for 335 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: a few weeks. Um they're they're so obsessed with abortion 336 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: and they think that there were publicans just want to 337 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: control women or something like that. That that's one, that's 338 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: the big one. And then for Bill, I think there's 339 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: another one, which is that he's gone so in the 340 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: atheist thing for so long and so mocked religion and 341 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: believers were so long. I think it would be a 342 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: real weird moment for a guy like him to fully 343 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: admit that actually the people that are defending all of 344 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: the things that he has fought for, who are defending 345 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: all his liberal beliefs about free speech and rationality and 346 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: all that, well, guess what it turned out to be 347 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: those crazy religious people. So I think he's got a 348 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: big comment that And then I would throw in one 349 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: more with him, which is that he's he's a product 350 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: of Hollywood and he wants to go he likes Hollywood parties. 351 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: He throws a lot of Hollywood parties. I've seen him 352 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: at Hollywood parties like he likes that thing. And if 353 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: you want to stay in that thing. And the guy's single, 354 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: he's a lifelong bachelor and never had kids. You know, 355 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: it's like, if he wants that thing, if that thing 356 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: is his life, well they're not going to tolerate the 357 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: other part of that. Trust me, I know, I mean, 358 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, I'm on me out for that thing, and 359 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: it's it's fine with me. Quick commercial break back with 360 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: my friend Dave Reuben. On the other side, when you 361 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: had mentioned, you know, Bill Maher wanting a recession to 362 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: try to get rid of Trump. But this, that's sort 363 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: of that's sort of the embodiment of the left right, 364 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: like they always subscribe to this notion that the ends 365 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: always justify the means. And we just saw, you know, 366 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: you also talked about abortion. We just saw, you know, 367 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: someone leaked the reverse Wade draft opinion, obviously with intention 368 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: to try to put pressure on the justices, to put pressure, 369 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: just like they did with Kavanaugh when you had senators 370 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: needing security because their lives were at risk. Why why 371 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: is that so specific to the left, where they're they're 372 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: just so unafraid to push for violence or or to 373 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,239 Speaker 1: blow up norms, blow up institutions to try to get 374 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: their way. Why why do why do you think that's 375 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: more specific to them or why do they do that. 376 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: I actually think it's a very very clear and honest 377 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: reason for it that if you if you ask people 378 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: on the right, what are they believed, what is the 379 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: purpose of America? Like, what's what's actually going on here? 380 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: Most people on the right, and I'm talking about people 381 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: who really understand the issues, they believe in individual rights, 382 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: Like that's like the fundamental building block of what the 383 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: West is, It's fundamental building block of our founding documents 384 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: that you, as a free person in a free society, 385 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: you're the root of the thing. It starts with you. 386 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: And then that you should have very little government control 387 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: over what you do beyond that. And unfortunately both parties 388 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: Republicans are just as guilty as Democrats have have etched 389 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: away at that over the years. But broadly speaking, people 390 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: on the right believe in the individual. They believe that 391 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: you are unique and you have value. What has happened 392 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: with the left, unfortunately, and this is a product of 393 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: the last twenty or thirty years, because this is not 394 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: a product of say the sixties. Less h is that 395 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 1: collectivism has taken over. So once you once you are 396 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: obsessed with collectivism and that your your skin color and 397 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: your gender into sexuality and all that stuff that that 398 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: is the the main important thing about you. Well, then 399 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: you're just a cog in the system. And if you're 400 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: just a cognist system, everyone else is just a cognist system. 401 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: And then the system is more important than us. And 402 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: then if you throw what really has been the gasoline 403 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: on the fire, you know, all of this really horrific 404 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: stuff like the sixteen nineteen project and this this idea 405 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: that America is founded on racism, and that's really the 406 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: driving factor of everything. These people don't believe in our institutions. 407 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: They don't believe this experiment is good. And it's such 408 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: a shame because not only is this the greatest, this 409 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: is the greatest human experiment that has ever been done, 410 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: and it's done it for two d fifty years. That 411 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: we may be getting close to the end. Maybe we are, 412 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: maybe we really are. UM. But you know the thing is, 413 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: I think in their hearts and hearts they know it's 414 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: not true. Uh, they don't leave, right, Nobody leaves America. 415 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: Everybody always wants to come stay in America. People still 416 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: want to come to America. UM. And the race hucksters, 417 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: you know, all of the e Bram Candy's and the 418 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: Jamal Hills of the s and all of these people. 419 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: They've made millions and millions of dollars living in a 420 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,239 Speaker 1: suppressed state, telling you all how oppressed they are, and 421 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: they seem to be doing quite okay at the same time. Well, 422 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: and and you're talking about you know, democrats obviously want 423 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: to you know, trying to burn our country to the ground. 424 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: Which sets me up perfectly to talk about your new book, 425 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: which is called Don't Burn this Country Surviving and Thriving, 426 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: And yeah, it's perfect. E's ev up perfectly, my friend, 427 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, Surviving and Thriving and or woke just to 428 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: obviously and woke dystopia. Obviously they haven't gotten the message 429 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: because they're still trying to, you know, burn our country 430 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: to the ground. But talk a little bit about your book, 431 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: why you wanted to write it, you know what message 432 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: you were really trying to convey, uh in the book? 433 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: To talk about it a little bit for for the audience. Yeah, 434 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: the man driver of the book is we've all been 435 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: complaining about this stuff for a long time, and we've 436 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: all been trying to expose it, and we can make 437 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: fun of it and we can mock it, and we 438 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: can show them their hypocrisy. We can do all of 439 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: those things, and those things are worthy of doing, and 440 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: these people need to be exposed and all of that 441 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,479 Speaker 1: m but at some point that's not enough. At some 442 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: point it's like you need to take a proactive message 443 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: and say, well, okay, so now what is it that 444 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: I want to do. I don't want to wake up 445 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: every day and just have to react to a bunch 446 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: of crazy people. What is it that I can do 447 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: that will empower my life? And that really is what 448 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: this book is about. And I think the the main 449 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: point of the book is, Look, you have to acknowledge 450 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: these people have done an incredible amount of destruction. You 451 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,239 Speaker 1: don't have to like what they've done, but you do 452 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: have to kind of tip your cap to them and go, boy, 453 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: you guys really did it. It's it's evil what you did, 454 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: but you really did do it. So you can't just 455 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: sit around and go, oh, they're just inept, you know, 456 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,239 Speaker 1: morons and buffoons, because if they are, then what does 457 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: that say about us? Because they did it on our watch? Right, 458 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: So if you accept that they've done some really bad stuff, well, 459 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: what can you do to better your life. And I 460 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 1: think there's actually a lot of things you can do. 461 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: One of them, uh, we said, it's something that you 462 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: and I both did, which is pick up and move 463 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: to a better place. We still have fifty states in 464 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: the United States, and they are very different, just like 465 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: Founders intended, and we now live in a place that 466 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: is much more in line with our views. And that's 467 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: one thing you can do. You can also not send 468 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: your kids to college, as I say, to get a 469 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: degree in eighteenth century lesbian poetry and a hundred thousand 470 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: dollars into debt. Wait, that's not successful. That's not going 471 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: to set you a set up. But it's not going 472 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: to set you up for a success. We say, you 473 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: are literally the only person I know who majored in 474 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: a eighteen center lesbian poetry who has a job right now. 475 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: So I'm just saying master's. Actually, Dave, it was a 476 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: master's from Harvard Um. But but you know, you you 477 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: send your kids to school, you get them a hundred 478 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: or a hundred fifty thou dollars or believe it, and 479 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: they're not somethingle three hundred thousand dollars in debt. You know, 480 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: to go to go to Syracuse Syracuse University, which is 481 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: obviously a private school, but that was the number one 482 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: communication school. That's where I wanted to go when I 483 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: was when I was a kid, because I wanted to 484 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: be in broadcasting at some level. I wanted to be 485 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: on ESPN or something, and that was where a lot 486 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: of podcast this went there, and I think Marv Albert 487 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: went there, a lot of those guys. UH. Syracuse University 488 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: right now seventy thousand dollars a year. That means you 489 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: would walk out of out of Syracuse after four years 490 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: roughly two hundred eighty thousand dollars in debt, and now 491 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: you might have learned something about broadcasting. But you know what, 492 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: I didn't go to Syracuse. I ended up going to 493 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: State University of New York at Binghamton, which is a 494 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: perfectly fine New York State school. Unfortunately, like everything else, 495 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: it's gone pretty woke over the last couple of years. 496 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: But you know what, then I got on YouTube and 497 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: I became a broadcaster myself. So the point is, there 498 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: are there are tools that you have access to. UH, 499 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: if you want to learn about psychology, you don't have 500 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: to go a hundred thousand dollars into debt to do it. 501 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: You know what you can do. You can watch Jordan 502 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 1: Peterson lectures online. You can watch incredible UH lectures and 503 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: talks about economics by Thomas Soul. There are so many 504 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: things that you can do to give the power back 505 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: to yourself instead of just being part of a system 506 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: that in many ways it's just designed to punish and 507 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: abuse you. Well, and what's interesting is you know you've 508 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: actually followed through on a lot of these things. I mean, 509 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: you are part of independent media, right like you You 510 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: started your show The Reuben Report, you built Locals, which 511 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: merged with Rumble have been incredibly successful that, So talk 512 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: about you know what you were saying when you started 513 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: that and why you did it. I mean, first I 514 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: went into you know, I had been on a series 515 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: of networks. I started my show on the Young Church 516 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: Network when I was a leftie, and then I moved 517 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: over to or A TV, which was one of the 518 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: At one point there was a bunch of these digital 519 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: independent networks um that were fledgling, and most of them 520 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: all if not all of them, have somewhat crumbled. So 521 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: I was on a couple of different networks and I 522 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: never felt right to me. I felt wet, boy. I'm 523 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: working real hard, and the people that I hire and 524 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: my small team, we worked very hard. We're doing good work, 525 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: we're getting more views, we're being more successful. But the 526 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: machinery doesn't feel right about this. It doesn't feel good 527 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: that we don't own any of this, we don't make 528 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: all the final disc Asians. I just felt the I 529 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: felt the energy going towards independence. So over the years, 530 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: I made a series of moves of leaving these networks 531 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: to become independent, and then really the big thing that 532 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: I did was ultimately create locals. I just thought, well, hey, 533 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm on YouTube, on Patreon, I'm on Facebook, 534 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: all the same things that everyone else is on. But 535 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: I don't own any of this stuff. You know, you 536 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: know this when you're on YouTube. So I have about 537 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: two million subscribers on YouTube. I don't have any of 538 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: their email addresses, and depending on the algorithm I can, 539 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: my people will either see my videos or not. It's 540 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: irrelevant whether they subscribe, it's just whatever the algorithm chokes out. 541 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: So I started realizing that there were such a series 542 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: of problems. What would be some of the things that 543 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: I would want? Well, I would want direct access to 544 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: my audience. I would want to own the video and 545 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: audio and make sure I have their contact information. I 546 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: would want, you know, a really cool app, and I'd 547 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: be able to live stream from my phone and get 548 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: push notifications out so if I got kicked off Twitter, 549 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: I'd be able to communicate with people. And that did 550 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: happen to me last summer um and that's what we 551 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: built and the locals men. By building something that was 552 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: good for me, it turned out to be good for 553 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: an awful lot of other creators, which I'm really proud of. 554 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: And then about seven or eight months ago, we we 555 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: merged with Rumble, which is really the main YouTube competitor 556 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: and the main Amazon AWS. That's Amazon Web Services. That's 557 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: like the sort of the ubiquitous under the belly of 558 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: the Internet. That's what drives the Internet. It's the infrastructure 559 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: of the Internet. Rumble's building a really robust cloud system 560 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: to complete with that, and we're just building it. And 561 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: I believe that if you build it, they will come. 562 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: And that's so bar The proof has been in the pudding. No, 563 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: you've absolutely crushed and I've been to your house, so 564 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: I know you're you're killing it's okay, it's okay. I'm 565 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: proud of you. Your you know, your your your crushing 566 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: life and it's it's well deserved. So I wanted to 567 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: ask you, So you went on tour with Jordan Peterson? 568 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: What was that like? I mean, talk about that. It 569 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: was incredible. You know, it was a year and a 570 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: half of my life. We did about a hundred twenty 571 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: stops in twenty countries or so. And you know, Jordan's 572 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: is you know, I believe he's the most important influential 573 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: public thinker that is living on earth today. Um, And 574 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, it was magical to be part of because 575 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't like going on tour with a politician or 576 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: someone that just talks politics or just talks current events. 577 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he was talking about the most important existential things, 578 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: about getting your life in order and healing old wounds 579 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: and making mends with family members and getting off drugs 580 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: and whatever addictions you have in all these things, and 581 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: the people that were showing up to these theaters, and 582 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: these were massive theaters. I mean we were doing four 583 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: to eight, sometimes more eight thousand theaters. Jam packs sold 584 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: out every night. And the type of people that were 585 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: coming there, these were people who had done the work 586 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: or or were in the in the course of doing 587 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: the work, so they were they looked better. You could 588 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: tell they were taking care of themselves, maybe for the 589 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: first times in their time in their life. They were 590 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: people that had just got jobs, or had just had kids, 591 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: or whatever it might be, that they had started to 592 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: set a little order instead of the chaos that Jordan 593 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: talks about, and to bounce around the world with this 594 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: guy and go wherever we went and see the way 595 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: that he had affected people. It affected me. I mean 596 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: it got into me. I started becoming a better person. 597 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: I started doing the things in my life that we're 598 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: still a little a little chaotic and a little out 599 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: of order. It doesn't mean that I'm perfect, obviously I'm not, 600 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: but I I live with that thing in me now 601 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: and um and I just saw it happened. So it 602 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: was It was really interesting because it's you know, you 603 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: can tour with the band, and you can tour with 604 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: a comedian. You know, you can tour with you know, 605 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: an author, but this really was like touring in some ways. 606 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: It sounds a little corny, but in somebody who was 607 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: like touring with a modern Jesus This was like a 608 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: guy who really was just out there trying to say 609 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: to people, get get your ship in order, and if 610 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: you do that, like who knows what can happen in 611 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: your life? And then and then I saw all the 612 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: transformations happening in front of me every night, and it 613 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: was it was truly incredible. I think back on it 614 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: seems like a dream. It's like, Wow, did I do that? 615 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: It was pretty awesome. It sounds like such an obviously 616 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: an impactful experience in your life. I wish you know. 617 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: I have such a fear of public speaking. I get 618 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: like massive anxiety about it, which is so weird because 619 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: obviously I work in tele I know, right, but like TV, 620 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: it's so intimate you know everyone and like you don't 621 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: see all the people watching. So it's not as I'll 622 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: get nervous if I guest host or things like I 623 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: don't do as frequently. But for whatever reason, just saying 624 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: all the people in the I get like massive anxiety, 625 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: Like I'll have anxiety like for days building up to it. 626 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: It's like the weirdest thing. I wish I didn't because 627 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, I envy people like you who can go 628 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: out there and just like crush it in front of 629 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: an audience. But it just gives me like a funny 630 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: you say that because I well, first off, I would 631 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: have never thought that about you, and I'd be happy 632 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: to like bring you on stage with me to some 633 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,959 Speaker 1: stand up stuff or some other stuff that I do. 634 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: Probably my path. We can bring diapers, it's all good. 635 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: Or if you do pee in your pants will get 636 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: a good laugh, so that can work too. But you know, 637 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: there's there's different techniques that people use. Because actually one 638 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: of the questions that Jordan would get a lot is 639 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: how do you get over nervousness in front of you know, 640 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: speaking in front of lots of people, And he and 641 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: I had a very different approach on that. He would 642 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: often say that one thing that you can do if 643 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: you're speaking in front of a lot of people is 644 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: if you find one or two people in the crowd 645 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: that you really can look at and focus on them, 646 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: and then you'll feel like you're just talking to you know, 647 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: one or two or three people, and then hopefully your 648 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: nerve levels will go down. I actually find the reverse 649 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: for me. I find if I'm on stage, I can 650 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: if I just look out into the sea, then it's 651 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: almost as if you're talking to nobody, you're you're you 652 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: can feel the energy of the room, and especially if 653 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: you're getting laughs, you can work with that. But it 654 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be this hyper intimate thing. It can 655 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: actually just be oh, I'm the person, I have the microphone, 656 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: there's people here. But if you're just looking out into 657 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: the sea a bit, it's actually not that intimate, and 658 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: I find that very disarming. So it's one of those 659 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: things where it just depends how you're wired and how 660 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: you want to do it. Although I feel like if 661 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: you're only staring at like one person the whole time, 662 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: they might be like, oh, Lisa's into me, you know, 663 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: and then like maybe you are, but maybe you're not 664 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: so sense that could also take some odd turns. It 665 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: could you know, it could go to take a quick 666 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: break for a little bit, and then we're back with 667 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: Dave Reuben. And so you're on tour right now with 668 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: the with the Don't Burn This Country tour. You've had 669 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: some incredible guests that have joined you, people like Governor 670 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: de Santis I think is coming up, Don Jr. Has 671 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: Don Junior? Happened? That's happened right? That was in last 672 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: week it was awesome. Now very cool and so talk 673 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: about like I assume that's just been so much fun 674 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: to be on this tour, you know, talk about sort 675 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: of your experiences, how it's going, where people can sign up, 676 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: and what other guests are are up ahead. Yeah, well, 677 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: first off, it's just been great to be out there 678 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: with people again. I mean everyone forgot it would like 679 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: to sit in the room and laugh, so, you know, 680 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: to just go out there and mess around with the 681 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: crowd and do some politically politically incorrect stuff and make 682 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: fun of the woke and all of that. It's like 683 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: people are having a freaking lass. So I tried to 684 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: give a different you know, roughly different talk for about 685 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: forty minutes each night, I have a different person open 686 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: for me and then do the Q and A. So 687 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: in West Palm I had Don Jr. So he came on. 688 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: He did about five or ten up top. I do 689 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: my thing, then we do a Q and A together again. 690 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: I had Megan Kelly joined me. An upcoming in uh 691 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: in Brea, California, I think on May eleventh, I've got 692 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: Dennis Praeger. The next night Oxnard, I've got Larry Elder, 693 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: who we talked about earlier and just a whole bunch 694 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: of different people. So it has a different vibe every night, 695 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: which is also fun because you know, some of the 696 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: guests hosts are a little funnier, some of them are 697 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: a little more serious, some of them are more personal, 698 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: some of them are more political. And it's really just 699 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: changed the vibe. And uh, you know there and see people. 700 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: It's like we all forgot something. Man. You know, we 701 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: used to go out and see people. I know people 702 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: have been doing it here in Florida. Uh, you know, 703 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,959 Speaker 1: pretty relenting le since all this began. But that's been 704 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: really great and if people want to join, there's actually 705 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: not many tickets left, but the big one is June 706 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: second at the Plaza Live in Orlando with Governor DeSantis. 707 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: Uh and that you can get tickets at Dave Reuben 708 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: dot com slash events. Well, and you talk about how 709 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: good it is just to have you know, everyone together, 710 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: and like, don't you think that's why everyone got so 711 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: mussed up during I mean not us, because you know, 712 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: we made the wise decision to come down to Florida 713 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: and liveral life and not hiding her basements, you know, 714 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: out of fear from a virus that wasn't going to 715 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: kill us. But you know, isn't why everyone got so 716 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: mussed up? Like we're wired as humans to have that 717 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: interpersonal connection to be around other people. And you know, 718 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: you had some people who you know, basically hit in 719 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: their basement, and I think that's why we've got so 720 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: many crazy people now. Personally, Oh, I think that completely 721 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: is it. Humans need to be around other humans. We're 722 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: social creature. And you took a bunch of social creatures 723 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: and you told them to socially distant and then you 724 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: basically said, hey, only talk to people on zoom and 725 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: face time and just stay in your house and most 726 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: likely you're going to drink more and you're probably gonna 727 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: watch more porn or play video games all day or 728 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: whatever it is that you do. And obviously, two years 729 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: after all of that, it has had incredibly awful effects. 730 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: I actually don't think we've even begun to see the 731 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: effects that this has had really on young people. I mean, 732 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,959 Speaker 1: we know about the rates of alcoholism, we know about 733 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: the rates of depression, but in terms of prescription drugs 734 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: and illicit drugs and just all the stuff, Um, I 735 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be far worse effects coming over the 736 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: next decade or so. And it's such a damn shame 737 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: because we did not have to do this, and and 738 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: I can't even say, even though you know, I grant 739 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: everybody a leash for that first month, you know, when 740 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: that when it all began in a lockdown there everything, 741 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: we didn't know what the hell was going on. It 742 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: was the first time something like this had happened. They 743 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: really scared all of us. And I think every abody 744 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: has about a month, you know, there were two weeks 745 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: to flatten the curve. They extended that and for a 746 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: month it was like, Okay, something weird is going on here, 747 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: let's let's behave or something. After that, I pretty quickly, 748 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: even though I was in crazy l a, I was like, no, no, no, no, 749 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: no no. This thing is is out of control. They're 750 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: not going to stop. This is not human nature. Too 751 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: many people are enjoying it, too many people are profiting 752 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: off it. There's such a fetishization of COVID and lockdowns. 753 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: And and then of course it unmasked something about people 754 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: that people really want to control other people. People want 755 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 1: to you know, the people who say it's my body, 756 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: my choice. Suddenly wanted to inject other people with things, 757 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: and uh, and I just hope that those of us 758 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: that care about freedom, I hope we never forget what happened. 759 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: We really have to make sure that we never forget 760 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: what they did to us, because otherwise we'll just do 761 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: it again. And I suspect most likely a lot of 762 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,919 Speaker 1: people will and they'll welcome it well. And I really 763 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: don't like being told what to do, so it was 764 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: a rough period for me. Tell me what to do 765 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: or to put on a freaking mask, like I'm gonna 766 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: lose it. But you know, one thing I didn't really 767 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: when I was looking into like some of the questions 768 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to, you know, some of the things I 769 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: want to talk to you about. I didn't realize you 770 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: started your career as a stand up comedian, Lisa. I 771 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: was funny a long time ago. You are funny, but 772 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know that. Like that's so interesting. 773 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: But what we're saying now is like comedians are under 774 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: attack for speech, and if comedians can't be funny and 775 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: test the boundaries of you know, some of these litmus 776 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: tests for society and just sort of test the boundaries, 777 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: then we're not a free society. We're seeing someone like 778 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle really get attacked because he's made jokes about 779 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: the trans community, which are honestly hilarious, like everyone should 780 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: go watch The Closer on Netflix. And my favorite joke 781 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: from him as he said, someone told them they are 782 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: after you about the trans community, and he said many 783 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: days or singular day, but he was attacked Dave, and 784 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: it's you know, why, why why are comedians under attack? 785 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: And what does that say about society right now where 786 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: we are on the issue of speech. Well, look, it's 787 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: so consistent with everything that's going on here right I mean, 788 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: these are the people that are telling you words are violence. 789 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: If you miss gender someone, that's violence. And then they 790 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: also tell you that violence is not violence. If you 791 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: burn down a target in the name of social justice, 792 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: that's not a violent act. But if you call he 793 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: is she or she and he, then it's violence. I mean, 794 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: they they really flipped the meaning of everything. Um. You know, 795 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: it's funny when I when I tour now because I 796 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: did stand up for twelve years in New York and 797 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: I had all the I had the struggles and successes 798 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: of it, and I worked the road and I worked 799 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: sometimes six nights a week, two shows a night, and 800 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: I stood out on the street corners handing out tickets 801 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: in you know, negative twenty in New York City, in 802 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: the middle of blizzards, all of that stuff. And now 803 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: when I when I do these shows, one of the 804 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 1: best things that people say to me after they go Dave, 805 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: I had no idea you were so funny, because you know, 806 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: on my daily show, I try to be funny, but 807 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm not really doing a scripted stand up show. When 808 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: I go out and I do my tour show, now 809 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: is like I'm telling stories and I'm talking about Paul Picks, 810 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: and I'm kind of looking at what happened on Twitter 811 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: five minutes before I went on stage. But now I 812 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: have all the tools of a comedian. I know how 813 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: to play with the crowd. I know how to mess 814 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: with them and get them going and all that stuff. 815 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,919 Speaker 1: So we need comedians, right, I mean, I think that 816 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 1: I can tell you that after just the first leg 817 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: of the tour, people are walking out of that thing 818 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: and there's an exhale. There's like, oh, we're allowed to laugh. 819 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: We forgot about that. But if you're going to comedy 820 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: clubs looking to be offended and then think you're allowed 821 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: to jump on stage and mal Dave Chappelle like the 822 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: idiot did uh? You probably have to have your head 823 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 1: examined well. And also like as a conservative and also 824 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: as a Trump supporter, I mean like I would go 825 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: to like the comedy Seller in New York and basically 826 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: every joke was directed towards me. So it's like whatever, 827 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, I mean most of the time. I mean 828 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: that stuff can be funny. It's funnier though when people 829 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: open it up and just attack everyone and you know, 830 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: and just but obviously now like all these people like 831 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon or whatever, they only go after the right, 832 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: which is sort of boring. I mean they've sort of 833 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: just become, you know, tiresome and lame. It's like society 834 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: sort of has as well. Like people just don't seem 835 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: to have I mean, we have fun, but like the 836 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: left doesn't seem to have fun. No, they don't have fun, 837 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: and they wrecked comedy. I mean, who turns on? I mean, 838 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: first off, I honestly don't know anyone that watches any 839 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: of these late night shows anymore. I mean, Gut felt 840 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: funny because he's the counter I mean he's yeah, he's 841 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: he's crushing them in the ratings. Which I was on 842 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,479 Speaker 1: his first show, and he went to the nightly show. 843 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: I was on the premier episode and I said, gut Felt, 844 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 1: within three months, you're gonna be number one, I guarantee you. 845 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: And I think it only took him about a month 846 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: and a half because he's doing something different. It's it's 847 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: less scripted. It's obviously politically different, but it's a little loose, 848 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: it's a little dirtier, and people enjoy it. They see 849 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: him having fun. You see these Balon and uh Colbert 850 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: and these cor bit or whatever his name is. These 851 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: guys there, they're first up, they're miserable. They're giving me 852 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: the same thing every night, and they're they're all they 853 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: do is suck up to the machine. They just suck 854 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: up to the machine. Oh it's so edgy what you do, 855 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: Republicans or ray sist. Congratulations, that's so brilliant. And you've 856 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,479 Speaker 1: alienated half of the country on each and every joke. 857 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: But look at their ratings are showing it, and people 858 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: aren't watching, and people are watching other things, you know, 859 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: and in the old days, you know, I'm old enough 860 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: to remember Johnny Carson Tonight Show, and Johnny Carson was 861 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: so cool. I was only when he retired. I was 862 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 1: only about twelve or so, and I just remember watching 863 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: him and thinking, man, this guy is so cool. He's 864 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: so funny. He was like all he cared about was 865 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: being funny. You didn't know necessarily what he thought, and 866 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: if you did, it was okay. Versus these guys, they 867 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: just want to beat you over the head with their 868 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: politics and it's just so boring. It's so boring, and 869 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: it's like there's only so many times you can call 870 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: someone a racist, and like sex, it's like it's like 871 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: no one even cares anymore. It doesn't land because it's 872 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: so overused and so tiresome and so boring. But you aren't, 873 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: and you're fun and that is why we're friends. And 874 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 1: I'm so glad we become friends. Are an awesome guy. 875 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: Everyone should go to go out and get Don't Burn 876 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: This Country.
