00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: but I know this man as a politician, a person

8
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: who was running for the Democratic establishment. Now the guy

9
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: we know him as Jail Covin friend of the show

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: and now wants to be your congress person if you

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: live in a certain district of New Jersey.

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: What's going on? Man?

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: A lot is going on a lot. It's this is

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: kind of a perfect Thanks for having me on this

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: is This is kind of the perfect fight for somebody

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: like me. Uh. It takes perseverance, It takes wanting to

17
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: fight the system, It takes caring about people, and it

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: takes expecting to take a big.

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: L I can see it.

20
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: Like, listen, I feel I was thinking today, like what

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: if comedy has been you know, just your to set

22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: up for the training ground, you know, much in the

23
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: way that that Daniels didn't understand wax On wax Off

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: like he was.

25
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Just like this some bullshit.

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: But then when it was time to hop into the

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: ring against Johnny, all of a sudden, wax On wax

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Off made a lot of sense. I feel like you

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: having to get five hundred signatures is the ultimate bringer show,

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: the ultimate barking. You were basically barking on the side

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: of the road, like, hey, uh, y'all, y'all like y'all

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: like politics, y'all, y'all want to come to a politician show.

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld not gonna be there, but I'll be there.

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Sign this.

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was this experience. It's a baptism by fire.

36
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: And I think New Jersey politics has like a particular

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: reputation because you know, in other parts of the country

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: it'll be like he's a fisherman who just said he

39
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: was tired of the establishment, and now he's polling at

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: thirty nine percent. And with us, this is like basically

41
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: a you know, a suburb of New York, this district,

42
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 3: and so it's a big media market. It's a lot

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: of heavy hitters, a lot of experienced people in different fields,

44
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: whether it's local politics, national politics, or activism. And you know,

45
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: my argument in a broad sense for this is you know,

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: the main leaders in this candidacy are a sort of

47
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: local machine politician, you know, who's bided his time and

48
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: has been endorsed by a lot of the power people,

49
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: and maybe isn't somebody that will inspire or or help

50
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: help because I think there's two things you have to

51
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 3: be concerned. Of course, with local politics, you're writing for Congress.

52
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: And if Congress work the way it's supposed to, you know,

53
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 3: the people are supposed to be in charge. That's the

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: branch of government where you're supposed to be most responsive

55
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: to your district. That's why you can have a Marjorie

56
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: Taylor Green for all all the problems that causes us.

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: Each community gets their say. So it's very important that

58
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: that the congress person be first and foremost focused on

59
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: their district. But what we have now is a Congress,

60
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: especially in Republican hands, that has kind of given up

61
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: all of their power. So it's what use is it

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: having a congress person who's responsive to you if the

63
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: whole body isn't even doing what the founders sort of

64
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: intended at the most base level. So I think there's

65
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: a component of yes, must be responsive to the to

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: the locals, and you know my answer to that is, yes,

67
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: I may not be a twenty year congress person, but

68
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: I don't view this as like my natural stepping stone

69
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: or my birthright. So you tell me what you want,

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: and I have my red lines, I have my conscience,

71
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: I have my own plans and ideas. But first and foremost,

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: I'm going there as your messenger, not as I'm not

73
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: running for president. Like you know, you have some people

74
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: who it's like I'm going to do this, this, that,

75
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: and it's like, you tell me what you want, and

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I believe in and who I am,

77
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 3: and if these things mesh, then we might have a

78
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 3: good arrangement. Right, But there is a component now of

79
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: every you know, they also to say all politics is local.

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: We're at a point now where like also all politics

81
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: is national? Yes, And is there somebody in this race

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: who cannot just be a hey I got propped up

83
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: by the local system, or hey, I'm a fighter because

84
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: I'm part of the Bernie the Bernie movement, and I'm

85
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: just as concerned with fighting with Democrats as I am

86
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: fighting the opposition, because I feel like at this point

87
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: in time, I mean, this is I mean, I made

88
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: this analogy with you before it's the end of Game

89
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: of Thrones. It's like, are you serce, are you still

90
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: going to be fighting for your own thing? Are you

91
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: just going to be like this is too big, We'll

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: fight our intra party battles later. We have to find

93
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: a unified voice. And as the person with the biggest

94
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: social media following, that's the one thing I can hang

95
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: my hat on in the race. That's not nothing because

96
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: I'm not arguing that I'm going to be telling jokes.

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: I'm arguing that my usage of media and communications is

98
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: a value and an asset in politics today. You know me,

99
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: in a perfect world, this shit wouldn't matter, but it does.

100
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: You run for office in the country you have, not

101
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: the country you think you wish it might have been

102
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: in a perfect world. And so that's kind of my

103
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: broad case. I have issues that I obviously care about,

104
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: but the broad case for me is.

105
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: That, yeah, I think also, like we watched this happen

106
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: with I'd Say, Mom, Donnie AOC, Margie Taylor Green, the

107
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: online presence kind of trickles down into the local presence, right,

108
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: Like it's like, oh, I sell this person on my

109
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: TikTok oh I saw this. I saw a clip of

110
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: their and I'm you know, and I'm the reason I'm

111
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: bringing up Martie Taylor Green too, is like it's kind

112
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: of a political with that, Like fame and celebrity and

113
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: following and social media charisma and all that stuff is

114
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: kind of a political where it's just like, Oh, that's

115
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: a person that I know, and there's something in the

116
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: human psyche that's just happy to have somebody that's a

117
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: celebrity in a way representing them. Even if the message

118
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: is the exact same as the next candidate, it's like, well, yeah,

119
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: but this guy's going to get that word out there

120
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: because look at what he's been able to do through

121
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: social media. Now, when it comes to like getting the signatures,

122
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: though there's no online cheat code for that.

123
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: You got to go out and get that.

124
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: What was that experience like And how long did you

125
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: have and how many signatures did you get to get

126
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: on the ballot?

127
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: We had? We had ten days. It was over Thanksgiving week,

128
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: so it included you know, days like Thanksgiving. I got

129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: exactly zero signatures, as you might imagine, so I really

130
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: had nine days. We ended up getting six hundred and

131
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: nineteen signatures. Which was the lowest in the field. But

132
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: I can say firsthand I witnessed people cheating and there

133
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: was one experience where they didn't know yet. I think

134
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: that I was that they were showing up to a

135
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: show I was doing, Like, what are the odds a

136
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: comedian on this show will be running for this office?

137
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: Pretty low?

138
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty low?

139
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: And you know they were getting I witnessed multiple candidates

140
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: skirting the rules, and to me, I know, people will

141
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: sometimes think, you know, the comedian, who's taking him seriously.

142
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm also been a lawyer. I'm also a highly ethical person,

143
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: right and I'm not if I'm I did comedy the

144
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: right way, and you could argue I've had some wins,

145
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: but overall we had a losing record. I think in comedy,

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: you didn't tak no, you did not I did not cheat,

147
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: I did not set.

148
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: All your pars. You didn't do a major trade.

149
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: It was it was an ethical tank. Like how the

150
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: Horness get injured every year?

151
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: Yes, you like, we're injured, so I guess we're gonna

152
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 5: take these AELs.

153
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: I am. I am the the LaMelo Canipple. But I

154
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: I thought to myself, I was like, I'm I'm getting

155
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: into this because I think I have something to offer

156
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: and I don't do like I would. I would rather

157
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: lose get zero votes than than or not qualify then

158
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: then take a shortcut, like how do you start a

159
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: political career on like a dirty note? It would be

160
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: would be my thing. So the first people I went

161
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 3: out with and and to be honest, I I got

162
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: like half of the city. Now I got like thirty

163
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: five percent of the signatures. Friends and some fans just

164
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: took petitions, like one one guy, Billy, was a teacher

165
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: at a local school. He's not even in the but

166
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: he got like seventeen teachers who live in the district

167
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: to sign it.

168
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: Wow.

169
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: A friend of mine from college and law school got

170
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 3: like seventy six signatures in his town.

171
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: Wow.

172
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 3: Because these are people who kind of know me, believe

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: in me, want to see me in this race. But

174
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 3: also I think got a little motivated by how tough

175
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: a barrier they made it for people to enter. I

176
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: felt like it was a little like five hundred signatures

177
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 3: was tough. Over that week was especially tough. And as

178
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: somebody who I'm joking with, one of the lines I

179
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 3: sort of joke with is a lot of all the

180
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: candidates want to say we're grassroots, we're grassroots. It's like,

181
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: and I learned that lesson from comedy. Everybody would say

182
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: I did it myself, This is a DIY special, this

183
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: is all me. And it's like, well, but you do

184
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: have an agent, and you do have like a national

185
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: show with somebody that you do, and you do have

186
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: a manager, and like you got to a place where

187
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: you could then do it yourself, but you're not really

188
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: doing it yourself. So I said, my campaign is I

189
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 3: guess dirt base. If these are grassroots, I'm I'm soil.

190
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: My campaign is soil.

191
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: Alexots yes.

192
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: To Covan, but yeah, it's it's betting. The Stagings was

193
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: the first people we went out with, and Laura was

194
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: out with me several times and and I joked on

195
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: Rain on your parade, I said, it takes a real

196
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: scumbag to be a comedian or a politician, right, because

197
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: you end up bringing these like this work and this

198
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: emotional burden into the relationship when you're doing something so

199
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: personal and so tough, and you know, I I recognize

200
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 3: that for any flaws I have, I am deeply touched

201
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: by anybody, including my girlfriend who you know, has like

202
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: a moral obligation to support me. I guess, like anybody

203
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: who who is out there. It is very touching and

204
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 3: at my level, oddly enough, it's like my comedy. You

205
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: you have more of a connection because you don't have

206
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 3: some army of like paid professionals and volunteers and staff

207
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: who are like all thinking you're the horse that's gonna

208
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: get They want to give me a shot.

209
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: Right.

210
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: They're not doing this because they think I'll win. They

211
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: hope i'll win, they hope I can pull off a miracle.

212
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: But they're doing this just to give me a shot.

213
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 3: And that's very touching and and and profound in a way.

214
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: And so the first people we go up to Laura

215
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: and I the night the day the petitions were available, legally,

216
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 3: I should say, I.

217
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 2: Guess, yeah.

218
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: We go to this theater in Montclair. There was a concert.

219
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: It was like a laser light show, like Grateful Dead

220
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: type concert. So she was like, it's probably going to

221
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: be liberals, Like, it'll probably be like liberal people who

222
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: go to this concert, right, I go, Okay, let's try.

223
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: Now I get there. It's all white. That doesn't mean

224
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: it's not liberals. It's a it's a you know, the

225
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: district is majority white, majority Democratic, but I just had

226
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: a feeling, you know, It's like, I feel like you

227
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: can judge a Maga book by a Maga cover.

228
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: Right right.

229
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: So I walk up to these three people and I say, hey, uh,

230
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: just just curious. So you guys happen to be registered

231
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: Democrats in the district, and the question I got from

232
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: one of them was liberal or conservative? And I was like, okay, well,

233
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: I know already where this is going because I just

234
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: said Democratic. So I said, well, I'm running for the

235
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: Democratic primary. And the second guy in the group of

236
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: three said, yeah, I don't vote for baby killers. And

237
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: I said, well that's okay, because I haven't killed any babies.

238
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: I just said, all.

239
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: Right, he said, I said, I don't vote for baby killers.

240
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: I vote for pedophiles.

241
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: Okay. It's a big difference, and Megan Kelly know the difference.

242
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: Between a nine and a fifteen year old, but yes,

243
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: that was it was like, and I thought to myself,

244
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: I was like, sir, I don't think you've ever done

245
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: anything pro life in your life, Like you don't say

246
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: I didn't say this. This is the lesson I learned

247
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: when you have a clipboard. It's like you're wearing a

248
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: sign that says I'm a bitch.

249
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah kick me. You can.

250
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: You can talk to me like you wouldn't talk to

251
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 3: another person or a guy who looks like a retired

252
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 3: WWF wrestler. Yeah, you can talk to because and that's

253
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: a that's an interesting lesson where it's like, oh, I'm

254
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: trying to do something positive, right, so feel free to

255
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: insult me.

256
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: And and you're how tall again?

257
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: Six seven two ninety though I've lost like fifteen pounds

258
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: in two weeks because I'm not eating.

259
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't gonna talk about your way. You know

260
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: that isn't either here nor there. But I just want

261
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: to point out your six seven right. And I'm sure

262
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: he was like, hey, I don't both of no, right,

263
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: It's like, uh, that's only because of the power to clipboard.

264
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: It's almost like being online on social media tonight.

265
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 6: Yeah.

266
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: It's kryptonite for me, right, it does the reverse for them.

267
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: It makes them supermans.

268
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, actually, now that you need something.

269
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: You know, And I joked on I said that like

270
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: when I approach people, I start to feel like Ben

271
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: Stiller and Happy Gilmour, like hey, mayor are you a

272
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: Democratic voter?

273
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 4: Yeah?

274
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: Is that my voice?

275
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: Going to do some food? I have a moment of

276
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 3: your time. That's why I say something rude. It's like,

277
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 3: how about I give you a cup of shut the

278
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: hell up to you?

279
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, now your fingers are gonna be hurting alone

280
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: with your face right.

281
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: But it's but you know, most what I what I've said,

282
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: and I mean it is that for every eight people

283
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: who react either rudely or awkwardly, like there's a lot

284
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: of like awkward like I said something very strange to people.

285
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: You know, it's that's alarming in and of itself, but

286
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: you'd get a good conversation or somebody who'd give you

287
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: the time of day, and that recharges you and you

288
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: feel like, hey, I you know sometimes people wouldn't even

289
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: sign up. And I said on Karen Hunter's show, you

290
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: know she she came out to my Starbucks for an

291
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: hour just to hang out and to try and get

292
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: a few people to show up. And one or two

293
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: people came up, came and could sign, and then they

294
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: were like half a dozen people who showed up who

295
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: couldn't sign but were trying. And you just said even

296
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: that it felt good. That effort and that reach out

297
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: was worth signatures to me because it gave me a

298
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: little bit of extra emotional boost because this is it

299
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: was a very and I will say this, the comedy

300
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: experience prepped me for this, because it's very lonely doing this,

301
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: you know, maybe not for some of the other candidates.

302
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 3: For me, it felt very lonely and very cold because

303
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: You're standing outside all day in cold weather and I'm

304
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: not in like a parka because i want people to

305
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: see me and not look like a snowman when they

306
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 3: meet me, and you know, so it's it was. It

307
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: was physically intense and and a little emotionally draining, but

308
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: we got there and I just felt complete gratitude. I

309
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: didn't feel like, yeah, I did it. I really felt

310
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: like we did this. You guys helped me so much

311
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: and were like believed in me and just wanted me

312
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: to have an opportunity, and that that was that was.

313
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: It seemed like you kind of did it the way

314
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: that you know, the story of politics is told. You know, oh, yeah,

315
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: you just one man wants to change his town and

316
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: you get involved and you get you go out and

317
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: you meet people and yeah, much like comedy. When you

318
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: get involved, you see like, wait, no, motherfuckers get signatures beforehand.

319
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: They got a whole team. Uh you know, they got

320
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: they got these ties of people, phone banking. What would

321
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: it take for you to get a team of people? Like,

322
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: is that a thing that you're aspiring to have or

323
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: you're going to try to go you know, grassroots solo

324
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: all the way we're got.

325
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I have I have if if if my

326
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: team includes my website guy of almost twenty years, okay,

327
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: who built a website in about three the website I have,

328
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: which is really nice. Uh he built it in about

329
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: three days of the non stop work. Damn. I have

330
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: a campaign manager and I have two friends in d

331
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: C who are like heavily advising me. That's it. That's

332
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: that's the team. It's it's literally, you know, an a team.

333
00:16:59,440 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: Now.

334
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: Is that something?

335
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: Is that something you want?

336
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 4: Like that?

337
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: Like that's just keeping lean and mean? Are is this

338
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: something where you look around these other candidates like, okay,

339
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: how do I get the apparatus you have so that

340
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: I can you know, not have to do so much

341
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: by myself?

342
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: Right? I think I think the key and here's you know,

343
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: the first ask of the black guy who tips fan,

344
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: I think away brother raising money because this is such

345
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: a shortened experience, like it's we have. We have two

346
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: months till the primary. Okay, so raising money allows your

347
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: hire people, allows you to.

348
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: Look man having the tip shape.

349
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: Go ahead, brother, raise that money.

350
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 5: Ask that plate till the brother jail pass around.

351
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: It is a like the money sends a message. And

352
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: and there are people I won't be able to compete

353
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: with in this race. There are people who have a mass,

354
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: like you know, they came into this race with like

355
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: four hundred thousand dollars ready to go right. But the

356
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: more money I get just to just so it appears

357
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 3: viable and will allow us to make the ad I

358
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: want to make, get like a mailer or two to

359
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: to targeted homes, because that's that's an expensive, relatively expensive operation.

360
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: Every donation counts Like if if every one of my fans,

361
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 3: and this will make you laugh, because we already once

362
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: I say every one of my fans to do anything.

363
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: If I said every one of my fans, if they

364
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 3: could just ignore my work, you'd be like, I think

365
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 3: they can do it.

366
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 4: I think they can.

367
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: We got we got this, We got even we have

368
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: been practicing.

369
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 4: We have been waiting for this moment.

370
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: But if I said every one of my fans, every

371
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: one of your fans that could, that is able because

372
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 3: I know the trust me. It's but everyone who could

373
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: gave ten bucks. Obviously if you can give it more more,

374
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: but every you know, then we'd have a big chunk

375
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 3: of change for this Like initial this is it's like

376
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 3: a startup, and everybody says, like I just took a

377
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: million dollar loan from my parents and created this billion

378
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: dollar company. Now that doesn't mean you didn't do work,

379
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 3: has an idea, et cetera. But when you tell somebody

380
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: who is locked out of that initial burst, it doesn't

381
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 3: matter what your idea is. In the cases, and this

382
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: is an example of like, if I can get to

383
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: X dollars just for this, like next be pre Christmas,

384
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: pre Christmas, get to a certain amount where I can

385
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: make an ad, get a mail or out, that may

386
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 3: be enough to shift and get me in the conversation.

387
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: Because right now I'm in the conversation as a novelty,

388
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: not as you know. I know the few events I've

389
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 3: been to so far, people come up to me after

390
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: and they say, if you don't win this which I

391
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: know it's you know, we both know is not likely

392
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: at this point because you're a dark horse, underdog candidate.

393
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: We want you to stay involved because we see that

394
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 3: you are somebody with passion, with with with communication skills,

395
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: with a desire to strengthen the Democratic Party in a

396
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 3: way that these other candidates don't represent. You know, everybody

397
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: always wants John Stewart, Stephen Colbert to get involved. They're

398
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: not getting involved, right and all these other peop people

399
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 3: who talk on politics, they're not leaving their their ten

400
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: million dollar patreons exactly actually do something. I'm in a

401
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 3: sort of weirdly sweet spot where it's like I've built

402
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: up enough of a name, but I actually care more

403
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: about this than I do about the jokes that mock

404
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: Trump after the fact, right, I care more about trying

405
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 3: to do something at this point preemptive and helpful and

406
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 3: so money and like signing up for you know, at

407
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 3: my website just for updates and being able to share

408
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: the website if you know people in Jersey say, you

409
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: might want to check this guy out, but right now

410
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: adding you know, getting people to sign up for the

411
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: website just for updates and to build a list and

412
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: then any donation, like if anybody was a Patreon subscriber,

413
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 3: anybody ever tipped a YouTube video, anybody ever bought a

414
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: ticket to see me. Pretend like I'm coming to your

415
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: town and the tickets are twenty bucks, right, and you're

416
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,720

417
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: You're you're Karen fans who are fans of mine. You're

418
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: not my fans, right, you are the good fans who

419
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: have them and love me as by my relationships them.

00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: This is not a gimmick, This is not this is

422
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: I really believe that what I can bring to the

423
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: table can help and I want to be in it.

424
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: It's it's it's.

425
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: To give money.

426
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: Yes, oh yeah, good, good good. My my manager would

427

Speaker 3: be very mad. I haven't already said that donate donate

428
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,080

00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: donate to j L dot com and uh, volunteers. I

430
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,440

Speaker 3: or help if you could keep me on a list

435
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 3: for when you know there's a call to action. My

436
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: campaign manager will collect those those signatures not signatures, those

437
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: those emails and sort of, you know, put them together

438
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: for for when there's a call to action.

439
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 4: Ay j L.

440
00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: What is yes?

441
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 5: What is it between what you thought you was getting

442
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: into in the reality of it? Because you know it

443
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 5: once you started, you know, you have all these ideas

444
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 5: and all that stuff, and then you get into it

445
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 5: and you realize it's something completely different. Like what was

446
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 5: the two biggest difference between what you thought in the

447
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 5: reality of it?

448
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 3: It's the feeling. I think it's like they tell you,

449
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: I wasn't let astray, Like man, when you get in,

450
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: it's gonna be like, like awesome, and it's got no

451
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 3: people are like it's a grind, and when you get

452
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 3: those signatures, it will become more of a grind. But

453
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: there is being told about it and there's experiencing.

454
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 4: Right, and.

455
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: It's it's I think for me, the difficulty is there's

456
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: only so many days before February fifth, and do you

457
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 3: reach enough people both changing people's minds Because a lot

458
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 3: of these candidates come with locked in bases already. They

459
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: come from a political community, they come from like a

460
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 3: lot of the candidates have their own packs, their own

461
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: like Bernie Sanders endorsed a woman who worked for him.

462
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: That's a big right get when you're running in that

463
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: kind of outsider TM lane if I can, if I

464
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 3: can quote Rod in terms of using the TM and

465
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 3: then there's a lot of deeply inside candidates and with

466
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 3: this amount of time, our strategy has to be a

467
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: hybrid of who can we convince that is leaning not

468
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: as locked in, but is leaning somewhere, but that you

469
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: need to send someone different in twenty twenty five to

470
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 3: fight for you. You need somebody with it, with a little

471
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: bit of a different skill set, a little bit different energy.

472
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: Because if you want me to come with a presidential platform,

473
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: you know that's all. That's all great, and that's good,

474
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: but you need a heat seeking missile. You need somebody

475
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: who can broaden the party but also be a forceful

476
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 3: voice for what you want, right And.

477
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: So I think also, I think that energy is out

478
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: there now. I think when you look at I forgure

479
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: get the ladies' names, but those two blonde women who

480
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: are podcasters who like cussed.

481
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: Out rome of my Emmanuel.

482
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: There's a type of energy that I don't think is

483
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: being served by the Democratic Party, that I don't think

484
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: is being served even by these outsider voices that are

485
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: like both parties are bad, and there's this voice of like, no,

486
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,239
Speaker 1: I'm proud of the accomplishments and the aims and the

487
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: goals of the Democratic Party. I'm not running from this.

488
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of this. I don't think it's wrong

489
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: to want the things that I want, and I'm forcefully

490
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: saying these are the right things, as opposed to what

491
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: I believe is a constant apology from the Democratic Party

492
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: that in large and I think it leads to, honestly,

493
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: instead of a rallying cry, it leads to like more like,

494
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: let's just be critical.

495
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: What they're really inviting is critiques.

496
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: What they want to hear is feedback for what they're

497
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: doing wrong, as opposed to like what I think rallies

498
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: people is a strong Sometimes it's a strong like no, no,

499
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: this is the right thing to do.

500
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: We should just get behind this.

501
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't mean you can't improve or whatever, but like, uh,

502
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: instead of being like you didn't get every student loan. Uh,

503
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: and then you turn and go, well, yeah, we're gonna

504
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: try to get every student. We're sorry about that, instead

505
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: of being like, no, we got the majority of student loans,

506
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: like people were paying bills and then they don't you know,

507
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: housing where you.

508
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 3: Could say if you said with student loans, just to

509
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: leave that. It's like, well, Biden tried, he came, he tried,

510
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 3: and the Supreme Court that wouldn't have been like this

511
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 3: if Hillary Clinton was president, right shut it down. Yes,

512
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 3: so and nobody. It's almost like one of those things

513
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: where democrats, as we've discussed, have to do this thing

514
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: like what but you don't don't lecture the voters, teach

515
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: them about democracy, but cowtow to their every whim and don't.

516
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 3: And to me, it's you know, at this point, like

517
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: my argument and I made this on your show maybe

518
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: maybe the last time I was on is democrats, and

519
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: I've said this. Somebody at the at a town hall

520
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 3: said to me, I've never heard it put that way.

521
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: That was very good where I said, we need democrats

522
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 3: who are going to engage people, but can also begin

523
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: a long march towards not undoing what Trump did. And

524
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: we have to take a page out of the Republican playbook,

525
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 3: which is we want Tom Brady throwing an eighty yard

526
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 3: touchdown pass to Randy moss Yay, what we did it,

527
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: Medicare for all. We did it. We got the We

528
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: got the big, unbelievable, tremendous victory that we all think

529
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: is right, and we got it. I look at it,

530
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: and I say, I've broken down certain things where I say, like,

531
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: elder care is an area of deep importance to me

532
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: and to like a lot of my friends as their

533
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: parents are getting older. I've seen it with my own parents.

534
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: I say, what if we took that Bernie energy and

535
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 3: either put it into a public option instead of medicare.

536
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: Let's let's mobilize for the public option, or let's mobilize

537
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 3: for a Japanese style in insurance system for our elders

538
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 3: that is comprehensive so that there they they age with

539
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: dignity and their kids don't go emotionally or financially bankrupt

540
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: right with the stress. What if we took that energy

541
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: and said, you know what, let's fight like hell to

542
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: pick up eight yards on this play right, and then

543
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: celebrate the shit out of that pick up the way

544
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: the Republicans every time some trans kid gets banned from

545
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: a little league baseball game. It's on Fox News and

546
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 3: they're going, look at what we're fighting for. Yes, we

547
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: treat everything but the biggest victories as a piece of shit.

548
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 5: Right jail, And it's memoralizing it, and it makes people

549
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 5: feel like what's the point, And it's like you can't

550
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 5: complain about everything. It's like, you know, when you watch

551
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 5: any sports, particularly football, you have four times to make

552
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 5: ten yards. You don't get all ten yards you first

553
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 5: tried most of the time.

554
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: It's very ironic Karen saying this because the way Karen

555
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: watches sports, which we watch a lot of sports together.

556
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: Is that every no it's not that, it's when we go.

557
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: To the basketball game we watch football, every play should

558
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: be a positive play, as if the other team is

559
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 1: not even out there, as if like why didn't we

560
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: score the basket every time? You know, And I rationally

561
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: try to tell her like, hey, you know, the other

562
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: team is good too, and they are attempting to stop

563
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: us from doing things, and sometimes players fuck up like

564
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: it happens, like she says famously, free throws are free points.

565
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: They are, She's correct, and that they should be.

566
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: But she also says as a person that's never run

567
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: forty minutes in a row and then tried to shoot

568
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: a free throw.

569
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 4: I have not.

570
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: So when we are watching sports, she becomes the Democratic nasay,

571
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: she is the person that's.

572
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: Like, why didn't body get the Green New Deal? Immediately?

573
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 4: Different? But in politics rooting for Biden, I'm not and

574
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 4: give up.

575
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: But those people also think that too, and they didn't.

576
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: They give up and go home, and they'd be like,

577
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm never watching this team again.

578
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying back next week, I'm saying.

579
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 3: Biden gave us. Biden gave us big victories, and then

580
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: we didn't celebrate them. We trashed him, We trashed his administration.

581
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 3: And then Trump is undoing the things that we never

582
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: even highlighted to begin with.

583
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, every day you're finding a new error program

584
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: that is just gone.

585
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: But one of the things I was gonna say.

586
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Though, is have you thought about, like, what are the

587
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: rules around money in this campaign?

588
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 5: Like?

589
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: What?

590
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: Because I know the rules very different districts and stuff,

591
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: So what are the rules to money? Is there limit

592
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: on who, how many people can donate, how much a

593
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: person can donate?

594
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: Like how does that work?

595
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, it's I think it's I want

596
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 3: to say the max is like five thousand. I was like, uh,

597
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: I think, and of course that's you know, yeah, I'm

598
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: asking for small donations from lots of people or versus

599
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: big donations from a few.

600
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 4: But if you could get.

601
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: Americans, are you gonna turn it down? Are you gonna

602
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: be like, I'm sorry, that's too big a donation.

603
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, because I'm not taking any like

604
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: organized pack money. So it's like yeah, And I joked

605
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: on another show, uh the other day, I said, and

606
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 3: if you are you have to be American to donate,

607
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: that's it. You could even live in a foreign country.

608
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: If you're American, you can donate. If you are not American,

609
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: you can't donate. And I said, and I guess now

610
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 3: that Trump is like pardoning narco terrorists. I guess if

611
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 3: you're a horrible criminal, but you're American, you can donate

612
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: to my campaign. And I'm just I'm just trying to

613
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: be like, played by the rules as I see them.

614
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, I think, uh is it Henry Kuehler

615
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: is how he says his name. The I think he

616
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: may have fucked it up for everybody because he got

617
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: pardoned by Trump and then announced that he's gonna run

618
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: for office again, but as a Democrat still, and then

619
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: Trump got mad. It was like that's it. No more

620
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: missed the nice guy. And I'm like, well fuck, maybe

621
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: that was how jail could get in. Was he could,

622
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, finesse the system and then run.

623
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no Trump. I'm actually we're still on

624
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 4: the same side. I'm just going in as a d right.

625
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: It is. It is funny though that when you look

626
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 3: at Trump, it's like his only bipartisan issue is corruption.

627
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: Right.

628
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 3: He's like, I will I don't see party lines when

629
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: I see somebody abusing our system for self gain.

630
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 4: Right, He's like, listen, what side you on? I don't care.

631
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're black, white, purple, if you

632
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: a corrupt, or you a pedophile, I got you.

633
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: Okay, that's covered. We need to come together as America.

634
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: The criminals. What about what.

635
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: About like some unorthodox like type of people to get

636
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: money from? You know, have you looked around. I mean

637
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: you're in New Jersey. I've seen sopranos.

638
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: You thought about any of those bars? You know, see

639
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: see what you can do.

640
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: Maybe you can make the change the laws for strip

641
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: clubs up there or something.

642
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: For him, maybe bought a being for j L.

643
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: Woke up this one.

644
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 3: It's this is all all all kidding aside, and I

645
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: like to I like to keep things light. But it's

646
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: like the raising money part is the part, Like it's

647
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: the one thing I'm comfortable talking to strangers. I'm comfortable

648
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: talking to people of the other side. I'm talking, I'm

649
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: comfortable arguing or debating with people, but asking for money

650
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: it's still it's like an it's like an uncomfortable thing

651
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: for me.

652
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: Well, that's what you really struggled in your comedy career too,

653
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: like that, like this this is a through line for

654
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: life for you.

655
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: Because I just I just want people. I want people

656
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 3: to I want people to donate. But it's it's it

657
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 3: is one of those and they they'll they'll laugh and say,

658
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: well you better get comfortable doing it. Yeah, And and

659
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 3: it is one of those things where you say, on

660
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: a personal level, you're like, I wish elections weren't weren't

661
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: like this this money grab telethon, but they are, and

662
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: you just I just hope that I can people can

663
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,959
Speaker 3: sort of see what I'm selling.

664
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: Well, what sucks is that we need the people who

665
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: are the most comfortable being like money, money, money about

666
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: the ship are obviously the people that we are the

667
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: most worried about when it kills.

668
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you don't like fundraising you just do

669
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: the job, then you can't do the job, yes, Zach bo,

670
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 3: you might not be the type of person we want doing.

671
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: The job exactly.

672
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: So like I wish, we do need to find a

673
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: hybrid that can turn it on and be like, hey man,

674
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to the money part, I have to

675
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: be comfortable with that because I can't serve you.

676
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: In a in not a capectity.

677
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: I think Mom Donnie was a great example to a

678
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: lot of people because the fervor behind him was you know,

679
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: the money, boom boom boom, and then he's making as

680
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: like he's putting out videos like that's we got the money,

681
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: like we made, we made the money, made our goals.

682
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: This is enough money to run for mayor if you

683
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: want to help, now get feet on the street, volunteer

684
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: like this is a different removing the campaign. And I

685
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: thought that was really endearing too, because a lot of

686
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: people I believe who are who understand money is a

687
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: demand of the job, like you can't be a politician

688
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: in America and went office with no money. But it's

689
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: refreshing to have a politician be like, oh no, I

690
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: was it. You know, we're not gonna keep sending you

691
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: text messages like you know, you know Senator Shoeing needs

692
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: your help, or you know they kidnapped NESI Putlosa's baby.

693
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: You got ten dollars, we can get out.

694
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 4: It has slowed down a little bit, but they still

695
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 4: come in.

696
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: It's a little scary. So what about crypto?

697
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: Have you thought about maybe crypto some bribes, I don't know,

698
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: maybe some sort of like you know, shady like, oh,

699
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: you're buying a watch, the watch costs a million dollars.

700
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 4: People.

701
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 3: I've had a few. I mean, I've had a few

702
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 3: foreign people. Not to quote Stringer Bell from the wire,

703
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 3: but I've had a few people basically just write to

704
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 3: me on social media like, is there any way a

705
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 3: foreign fan can circumvent and donate jumbo what? I was like,

706
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 3: first of all, no, what, and why, like A no,

707
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 3: that's just no, right, and also this is public, right. Yeah,

708
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: I've had people send I've had a couple of people

709
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 3: send me private messages and they were kind of joking.

710
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: They're like, what if somebody like bought a bunch of

711
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 3: cameos from you and left you generous tips? And I said,

712
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 3: I said, don't even joke about it, Like I'm getting

713
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: cameo orders still, but I don't want to see anything

714
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 3: out of the ordinary, right, Yeah, I just once again,

715
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 3: it's like I'm gonna lose fairly like on my terms,

716
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 3: like I'm not and I don't you know, if if

717
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 3: I don't want to say, like if I were like

718
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: some twenty year politicians and this was like the last

719
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: stop of my career, I still wouldn't do it. But

720
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 3: at least then I'd be like, well, I know why

721
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: that dude was corrupt. He was like, this is all

722
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 3: I got me. It is my first race.

723
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: It's also it's also interesting too because like the Elon

724
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: Musk runs Twitter, I feel like at any point the

725
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: d m s could be exposed for all of us.

726
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 6: Like I feel like, turned out the jail was very corrupt,

727
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 6: putting him. We're going to release the jail files today.

728
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 6: What he was doing, Like basically his might be the

729
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 6: most corrupt politician. And this has nothing this this has

730
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 6: nothing to do with the fact that he was doing

731
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 6: a very nasty impression of me, you know, about corruption

732
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 6: and getting it.

733
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: Did you see the video of him on Rogan trying

734
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: to tell us that Rock is a good idea for

735
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is to have Rock roast your family.

736
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: I did not see that.

737
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 2: Dude.

738
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: He's like, it's the funniest thing ever. It's I'm gonna

739
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: pull it up. But it was so It was so

740
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: interesting because there's a thing that is missing in a

741
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 1: person like Elon Musk what he wants to be liked,

742
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: and he really wants to be funny.

743
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 4: Yes, Like I don't know, he's not. He's terrible at both.

744
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 4: People don't like you and you're not funny.

745
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why he wants that exactly.

746
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: What I do feel like you would represent a a

747
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: certain type of threat to his ego if you're like,

748
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: if you're on his radar, I feel like you being

749
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: funny doing the impression of him. Uh, when it's clearly

750
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: something he wants to be Uh.

751
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 3: You know, money can't buy It can buy you people

752
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: who will laugh at you, but it can't buy you humor.

753
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 4: It really agree, either you're funny or you're not right.

754
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say this. I just have to say

755
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 3: without revealing anything. You know, in my legal career, I've

756
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: seen you know, correspondence among millionaires and billionaires, and man,

757
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 3: do billionaires get treated differently? Like you can see it

758
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 3: in you can see it in correspondence where it's just

759
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 3: like fawning over the most insignificant thing, like, my god,

760
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 3: it was an incredible honor. You're such great conversation. Everything is,

761
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 3: and it's I would hate to It's like when Seinfeld

762
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 3: did his documentary many like twenty three years ago or something,

763
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: and he would just get up on stage that is

764
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: like the height of his powers. Just after Seinfeld and

765
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 3: he would get up on stage and they just be

766
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 3: laughing at everything he said. And you could tell it

767
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 3: irked him because it was like, yeah, but I got

768
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 3: I gotta learn if this is good, right, I gotta

769
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 3: know if this is good. So he cared about the

770
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 3: objective truth of his jokes being funny or not. And

771
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of these billionaires they drink that.

772
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 3: I would hate that. I would be like, do you

773
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 3: think I'm funny? Right? Like like like watch this.

774
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this clip up real quick, the well,

775
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 1: look at this, this is crazy?

776
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: Uh, how bad.

777
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 7: This is let's try unhinged.

778
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 2: Oh this is an n hingebone.

779
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 5: Okay, heyah, oh my god, Elon Fresh, hell, are you

780
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 5: stirring up today?

781
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 7: I'm here, I'm here in Joe Rogan's studio, and we're

782
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 7: having a conversation about how crazy the news is.

783
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: Pull her up to the microphone.

784
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 7: Okay, and we're pulling you up to the microphone. People

785
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 7: can hear you?

786
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 3: Hilarious?

787
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: Oh fantastic?

788
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 3: Now I can yell into the void about how the

789
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 3: news is a total dumpster fire. It is.

790
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 4: Like, oh, that's bad, that's real. Bad.

791
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 3: Is probably worth like a hundred million, right, it's still

792
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: more is Rogan to Musk in terms of finances, and

793
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: so there's still that Oh man, now he might you

794
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: could say he's being a gracious host, but he likes

795
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 3: Elon like they're boys, and it's just like.

796
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 2: But also, Joe Rogan is missing.

797
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan is a guy who called like Mark Marin

798
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: a hack and people calling people calling professional comedians unfunny

799
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: because they don't agree with like going to Saudi Arabia

800
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: or something. Right, this guy is not Elon Musk is

801
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: not cracking Joe Rogan. But Joe Rogan is letting himself

802
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 1: appear to be cracked up. And one of the things

803
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: I thought was funny in a different clip is Elon

804
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: Musk is like, well, you know, it's uh, it's so funny,

805
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 1: it's so a hinged.

806
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: Crock is so good.

807
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: And then Joe Rogan keeps saying, like five times in

808
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: a row like yeah, and it just keeps getting better

809
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: and it's just good. And that's the thing. I keep thinking,

810
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna keep getting better. And I was like, you

811
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: know what that is code for? He's really saying it

812
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: sucks right now.

813
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 4: It's not good.

814
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: What you're really saying is it's not good now. But

815
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: it's just the promise of AI is that it will

816
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: be good one day. And that's what's really fascinating is

817
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: that it won't suck eventually. For you to waste three

818
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: minutes on my show doing this hacky bullshit that's not funny,

819
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: and me having to pretend that it is gonna fucking

820
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: sell out.

821
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 4: He was looking like, I wouldn't even let you be

822
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 4: my opening act. What is this?

823
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be like like debates and stuff in

824
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: this race that you're in, or is it just kind

825
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: of like you.

826
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: Run your race and then boom, it's time to vote.

827
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 3: It depends I think what probably the front runners are

828
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 3: hoping for, you know, the top three are probably hoping

829
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 3: people drop out people, you know, and then there's a

830
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 3: big question of okay, if we are if eight of

831
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 3: us or six of us or ten of us make

832
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: it you know past Christmas? Is there a debate scheduled?

833
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 3: And then you know, they can, I assume set the

834
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: rules for how to qualify, which is why donations, so

835
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 3: that you hit certain thresholds of money raised or number

836
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 3: of donors, and then using that money as fast as

837
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 3: possible to do Like I have this ad that I

838
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 3: wrote that'll be like a YouTube video, but you know,

839
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: we've used that the production of it would not be

840
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: too costly, but then the money would go towards like

841
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 3: get everybody in Jersey to see this video, send it

842
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 3: to the media, like let it, let it go viral

843
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: as we sort of poke holes at like the three

844
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 3: front runners and make the case for a normal, proud,

845
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 3: progressive democrat, progressive but not annoying, right, you know, like

846
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 3: kind of kind of kind of lane and then you know,

847
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 3: so so and then that gets you on the radar

848
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: of maybe undecided or people who are low propensity voters.

849
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 3: Maybe they go I kind of like the comedian guy,

850
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: like if you so, it's it's that's what we're I

851
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 3: want to say, afraid of. But that's what we're trying

852
00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 3: to fight early is like donations, name wreck ignition, so

853
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 3: that if they pull something like January second, say the

854
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 3: day the one debate will be January tenth, and if

855
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 3: you haven't reached x dollars or x donors or x

856
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: percent in the poll, you are you're excluded. And then

857
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: you can basically probably bury your candidacy if you're not

858
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 3: at that point in the conversation. So that's why this

859
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 3: this kind of urgency now to sort of be prepared,

860
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 3: and like I said, when I meet people, when they

861
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 3: see me, they can see, you know, one of these

862
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 3: is not like the other. You know, and my credentials

863
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 3: as a lawyer, as a as a democrat or are

864
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 3: sort of solid. It's the comedian thing that maybe makes

865
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 3: me memorable. And then you sort of try to meet

866
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 3: as many people and let them know, like the comedy

867
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 3: stuff is a plus factor. It's not why you vote

868
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 3: for me alone, but those skills are why you should

869
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 3: consider me.

870
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: Is it hard to hold back from because I see

871
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: how you treat the fans that try to punch up

872
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: your jokes or punch down as we refer to. But

873
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: when you're running as a candidate, as a politician, I

874
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: feel like the punch ups are kind of the kind

875
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: of part of it, right, the idea like, oh this policy?

876
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 2: Have you thought about this thing?

877
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: Are you able to control the evil inside that would

878
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: that would just you know, seize on a person and

879
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: strangle the life out of them comedically?

880
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: Are you able to keep that in check?

881
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: And well, here's and yes, yes I am. And here's

882
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 3: why I consider myself a comedy expert. I'm not an

883
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 3: expert on your town, like, uh, when I come to

884
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: your town, and and the people who show up to

885
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 3: these events are sort of high interest voters. They skew older,

886
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 3: they care, they that many of them seem to know

887
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 3: their stuff or at least know their concerns. So it

888
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: would it would be wrong of me to sort of

889
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 3: be like, well, no, no, no, you can't. Like it's

890
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 3: more like, no, I'm here to listen to you. I'm

891
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: here to make a case for myself, but listen to

892
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: you and I know this sounds like I'm doing petitician speak,

893
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 3: but this is the truth. This is what government is

894
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 3: supposed to be. You look at me as a person,

895
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: you look at my qualifications, if you think I am

896
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 3: worth considering. Now it's time for you to give me

897
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 3: your ideas, your concerns, and we have a conversation. I

898
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 3: take them in and we see what we can do.

899
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 3: You know, on the man on the street stuff the signatures,

900
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 3: that was more more alarming because you ran into a

901
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 3: lot more people, even in affluent areas where you respect,

902
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 3: like on average, i'll see more educated people, I'll see

903
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 3: more in tune and people. Many people were really really

904
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 3: tuned out. And it's not my place to tell them

905
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 3: how to live their lives. I get it some people

906
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 3: tune out because it's too stressful, But you can tell

907
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 3: kind of a tuned out because I'm tired of it

908
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 3: and tuned out because I never paid attention, right and yeah,

909
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 3: and so that was a little more frustrating, But that's

910
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 3: not the time to be picking fights and arguing when

911
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 3: you're trying to gather signatures. But now I think a

912
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 3: lot of the people I see are our concerned citizens

913
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 3: who in some cases will know more. They know more

914
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: about their concerns than I do. Of course, you know,

915
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 3: so I can't just go, uh no, you're wrong to

916
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 3: be worried about.

917
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: That, right, Yeah, I do wonder what I having it because,

918
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: like Karen Hunter when I was on the show, sometimes.

919
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 3: Somebody tells me how to write a joke, they'll catch these.

920
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: Verbal Have you thought about changing this line in your commercial?

921
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 1: I think it's funny because, like Karen Hunter, like will

922
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: suggest or pride to be like, maybe you know, we

923
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: need good people around, profice you should run, And I'm like,

924
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to. And I really do think I

925
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: don't want to live a life where I can't be like, well,

926
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: that's stupid, you know.

927
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 2: Like the other day on Twitter.

928
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: They show this older this clip of like man Trump

929
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: has really lost a lot of ground with young voters.

930
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: He had this percentage of support in February and now

931
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: it's down this small percentage in December, and I was like, yeah, well,

932
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: young people were acting stupid, Like to me, that's an

933
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: objective fact, Like if these are the things that you

934
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: want and then you voted for, you thought this man

935
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: would this man would bring about the progressive ideals. That

936
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: you want because you saw enough tiktoks or whatever. The

937
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: fucking reason is not my business, but I like the ability.

938
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: To say that.

939
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't think a politician should or would say something

940
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: like that, because it's probably not productive to talk about

941
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: a large swath of the potential voting.

942
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 2: Base as stupid everybody, you know.

943
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: But I find myself in those other moments that I

944
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: actually like certain politicians. Right it's when Obama says people

945
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: cleaning the guns and bibles.

946
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: I went, yes, that is what is happening right now.

947
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: No one wants to talk about it. Hillary Clinton, some

948
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: of this guy's voters are deplorable.

949
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: That is correct.

950
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: I'm watching them be deplorable and do deplorable things. So

951
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: how do you navigate that line of like, man, because

952
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: you know, we're friends, we talk. It's weird. Politics is

953
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: so weird because there's these there's these like these invisible

954
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: lines that like in real life, if you weren't running

955
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: for office, or you weren't trying to be a politician

956
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: to get a vote, it's like, oh, that's the reasonable

957
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: thing to do.

958
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 2: It's frustrating, and I see why you said that.

959
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: But as a politician, it's like you can never really

960
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: show that level of frustration what you are on with

961
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: with the people you hope to court as voters.

962
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 4: That's true.

963
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 5: And I think for me, I'm sorry, I think for me,

964
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 5: what's frustrating about it on the outside looking in?

965
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 4: And and I know, uh, jail's on the lawd level.

966
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 5: When you look at Trump, Trump goes, I don't give

967
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 5: fuck about your normals right like like like he says

968
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 5: the ship out loud. If I don't like you, I'm

969
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 5: putting you on the list, like he verbally says these things,

970
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 5: and there's no outraged, there's no backlash like like for

971
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 5: for most normal politicians like about to say they have

972
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 5: to most of.

973
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 2: The he's written.

974
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: He's written the prominence based on doing the opposite of

975
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: everybody else.

976
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, so with everybody else.

977
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 5: They have all these rules and regulations and you can't

978
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 5: be emotional, you can't do this, you can't piss these

979
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 5: people off. Whatever, and Trumps like, fuck it, I'm gonna

980
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 5: say it was on my chest.

981
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Well, I think I am trying to be

982
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 3: myself and knowing that my strength. You know, if I'm

983
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 3: trying to be one of twelve candidate who sounds the

984
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 3: same and within the bounds of normal politics. What I

985
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 3: told people at a town hall, Wow, time is blurring.

986
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 3: What's today, Sunday, Sunday, Thursday. I believe it was Thursday,

987
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 3: might have been Wednesday, might have been Friday. It wasn't

988
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 3: Friday anyway. I told them, if you've been with Trump

989
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 3: for ten years, we've been doing this this dance as Democrats,

990
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 3: where the centrist Democrats say, you know, we need to

991
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 3: we need to find a middle ground. Most people want

992
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 3: a middle ground, right. And what I say to that

993
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 3: is and once again with Joe Manchin as a good example,

994
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 3: even though he's no longer in Congress, Joe Mansion is

995
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 3: a perfect example where I say, if Joe Manchin is

996
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: the difference between Democrats controlling the Senate or not, please

997
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 3: give me Joe Manchin right, agreed, if we can get

998
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,959
Speaker 3: fifty six Democrats get rid of the filibuster, we can say,

999
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 3: Joe Manchin, you can come on board. You can be

1000
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: the sort of like moderate Republican that you kind of

1001
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 3: want to be right, but you can have to control

1002
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 3: different right. And we have to know the difference between

1003
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 3: if Joe Manchin is vote fifty and the other choice

1004
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 3: is a Republican, Please give me Joe Manchin for fifty

1005
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 3: so we can control the power in the Senate. That

1006
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 3: is a value, a huge value in and of itself,

1007
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 3: because you see what they do when they have power.

1008
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 3: They stifle, They don't want government to operate. But as

1009
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 3: far as speaking truth in a plain spoken way, you know,

1010
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 3: I say what I really believe. Now, obviously I may

1011
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 3: phrase it differently in comedy, but I say, if you're

1012
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 3: a Maga voter in twenty two twenty five, I don't

1013
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 3: consider you part of the middle ground that I need

1014
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 3: to seek. I consider to you on the fringe that

1015
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 3: if this were a European country, you would be that

1016
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 3: thirty percent marine La penn party in France that we

1017
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 3: get scared when you approach thirty five percent of the vote,

1018
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: where we say, everybody, let's get together. We have to

1019
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 3: stop this, this anti diversity, anti democracy party. And we

1020
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 3: aren't a normal functioning democracy anymore, unfortunately. And what I

1021
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 3: think and my message to the party, you know, as

1022
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 3: a as a rep for this county, but like I said,

1023
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 3: for this district, but like I said, also in the

1024
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 3: sense of all politics is local, but all politics is

1025
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 3: now national. Also we need somebody or some people. And

1026
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 3: I'm arguing not that I am the savior, but that

1027
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 3: I can be a voice that does this. We need

1028
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 3: people who can say, Okay, Bernie, love the passion, love

1029
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 3: the goals. Not the biggest fan of the all or

1030
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 3: nothing politics, Chuck Schumer, love the experience, Love that you're

1031
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 3: on the side with the good guys. Don't always love

1032
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 3: the half measures. Hey, everybody who's a Democrat, you know

1033
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 3: what we should be doing. Let's find the middle ground

1034
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 3: between kind of left and very left. Then we all

1035
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 3: get on board because if we do that, we make progress.

1036
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 3: And some people may be disillusioned. But you know what, Bernie,

1037
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 3: if you actually put your back into telling your supporters

1038
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 3: this is progress, Yes is progress, they will go, Okay, Bernie,

1039
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 3: we trust you, we value you, We know where you

1040
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 3: want to get, and we know this is a step

1041
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 3: in that direction. But if it's ola gawks and Medicare

1042
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 3: for all and that's all you keep saying, the rallies

1043
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 3: will be big, the energy will be big, the legislation

1044
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 3: will be small. And I think we need to say

1045
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 3: and we need voices. And if I can be the

1046
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 3: regular voice, the guy who talks like regular people who

1047
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 3: people can listen to. Because I've shown it, I've grown

1048
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 3: a big fan base across the political spectrum, at least

1049
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 3: the center right to far left have all consumed what

1050
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 3: I do. We need to say, we need to come

1051
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 3: together as a family, as a party, and then come

1052
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 3: up with a message that we all just say, fuck it,

1053
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 3: that's our message, that's our team. And then maybe those

1054
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 3: seventy million people who don't vote not the maggot. If

1055
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 3: you're a ten year Trump guy, what am I? My breath,

1056
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 3: my time, my energy cannot be used for you right now.

1057
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 3: If we can get eight million of those seventy million,

1058
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 3: we win, We win, and we crush because fifty two

1059
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 3: percent of sixty percent of the races is a lot. Yeah. Absolutely,

1060
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 3: And that's my broad political approach is like, we need

1061
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 3: people who aren't going to be consumed with I want

1062
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 3: to even if you got to do it with tough love.

1063
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 3: How do we bring the Democratic Party into cohesion the

1064
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 3: way the Republican Party brings everybody to fucking heal? Now?

1065
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: What about local are you being? Are you like when

1066
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: people come up to you, are they more excited by

1067
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: that like broader national message or are they you know

1068
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 1: are they just like, listen the fountain in the park

1069
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: on Seventh Street. It ain't been working right, and I

1070
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: just I'd be walking my dog and it's not getting

1071
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: taken care of jail, Like what what? What are they

1072
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: turned on by?

1073
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:46,240
Speaker 3: I think still when I was getting signatures, some people

1074
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 3: ask questions about issues, whether it was Israel or things

1075
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 3: like that. Okay, I you know, I gave my honest take.

1076
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 3: But a lot of people wanted just a fighter. They

1077
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 3: were like, I'm tired of the book. Like you're a democrat,

1078
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 3: let's go. We need tough democrats. I like the fact

1079
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 3: that you're a comedian. I like, we need something we

1080
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 3: need we need people.

1081
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: Who will have you thought about rolling up on your

1082
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: opponents in the race, like Rocky yes Lang.

1083
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, that's it, Yes, yes I have Hey, Hey,

00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 3: why don't you give me a shot to bake me

1085
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 3: blubber lang as a debate?

1086
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 4: Me bro.

1087
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 2: Showing up at colleges.

1088
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: Uh, just to have a debate like it was Charlie

1089
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 1: Kirk or something.

1090
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 3: Uh. But but what I have seen in the in

1091
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 3: the meetings that I've been to so far is that

1092
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 3: I think especially the higher knowledge voters that show up.

1093
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 3: They know that it's a They know that you are

1094
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 3: running for national office. So of course there's how will

1095
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 3: you get more money to our district? How will you

1096
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 3: do these things? And there are local issues that I

1097
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 3: am like briefed on, you know, and I go, so

1098
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 3: come from the like I'm a renter, Like I could

1099
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 3: represent the renters. I think everybody else seems.

1100
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 2: To the rent is too damn huh.

1101
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: Yes, it is okay that dude walks, so mom, Donnie

1102
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: could run dude.

1103
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 3: Right, But it's but there is like I think, it's

1104
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 3: how can you affect national issues to help locally? So

1105
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 3: I think the people at least that I'm seeing understand

1106
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 3: that it's not a you know, they understand the difference

1107
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 3: between what local politicians do and what what national politicians do.

1108
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 3: But national politicians can you know. It's the money. It's

1109
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 3: how much money can you get for our district? Is

1110
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 3: like the blunt sort of local aspect of it. The

1111
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 3: other stuff is the kind of national The party is

1112
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 3: a little weaker, and I want to make the case

1113
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 3: that we can send somebody who can who can who

1114
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 3: can do both, who can do both.

1115

00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,560

1122
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I went out, I met the grateful dead conservatives

1123
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: and I need some help. Okay, I need to look

1124

00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 3: happen to be in the district, you know, those count

1137
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 3: extra because then that's that's your local that's not just

1138
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 3: how much money, but that's like showing showing local support

1139
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 3: as well. So this is going to be a two

1140
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 3: month sprint. It's going to be exhausting. But I just

1141
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 3: if I can just get in the conversation beyond hey,

1142
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 3: you're the comedian guy who's running. I really think I can.

1143
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 3: I can do some things like I don't. I wouldn't

1144
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 3: be asking people. I've always been conservative in my asks

1145
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 3: because I want to give people what they what they're

1146
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 3: paying for. And so I'm asking a little bit on

1147
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 3: faith to say, get me in the conversation. And I can,

1148
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 3: really I can shake things up because I'm a one

1149
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 3: of one in this in this contest, and and uh,

1150
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,479
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's I think it's worth it's worth,

1151
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 3: it's worth a shot. So I hope people will will

1152
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 3: take a chance.

1153
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,880

00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: I need these podcasts regulations to kick in.

1158
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 2: Okay, we got too many people with MIC's out here.

1160
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 3: no tax on black guy.

1161
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go.

1162
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm moving districts tonight and and like comedy wise, are

1163
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: there still stand up dates for people to come see you?

1164
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 2: As you know?

1165
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 3: And that's the thing I need to tell you. I

1166
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 3: I haven't. I emailed he was on vacation, but I

1167
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 3: emailed Charlotte that I said, thank you for giving me

1168
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 3: the spot. I just have to I can't do it.

1169
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, how can you do both?

1170
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 3: And I wanted to. And I'm paying several deposits in

1171
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 3: Toronto because of my late cancel for that with those.

1172
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 4: It's it.

1173
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 3: But it's just there's just no way, like if I

1174
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 3: if people are donating to me, people are taking time

1175
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 3: to donate, Like.

1176
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: Any you looking up and you went Toronto doing stand up?

1177
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 2: They might fill away? Yeah, I see Trump.

1178
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 3: I love Toronto. I feel like I should be somewhere

1179
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 3: else straight and I love donuts in Canada. Thank you,

1180
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 3: thank you. Yeah. I just think it's uh, those are

1181
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 3: golden opportunities. Those are I need to start planning events

1182
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 3: and meeting guys and shaking hands and calling donors. And

1183
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 3: if people have already you know, given, I've already made

1184
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 3: some some nice amount for a nobody who hasn't made

1185
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 3: the hard ask of right and that's and if you

1186
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 3: the money is an act of faith, and I assume

1187
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 3: reward that.

1188
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: I assume you have to plan as if, hey, I'm

1189
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: in this thing to win it until like until you're

1190
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: not basically like right, like, so you can't be like,

1191
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe by the end of December, I

1192
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: can be doing gigss Like.

1193
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 2: No, I have.

1194
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: To plan as if this thing is going to keep

1195
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: progressing and now I'm gonna have to be in this fight.

1196
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: So I think that's a tremendous sacrifice to make. I

1197
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: know you would say, no, it's not. It's just my

1198
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: comedy career and it was never that great. But I

1199
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: disagree because I feel like when it's it's like when

1200
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: you got something is and you got to give it

1201
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: up and you used to have an abundance. That's that

1202
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: means something as opposed to like if you were just like,

1203
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: I'll just get those gigs back and we know how

1204
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: how places hold grudges.

1205
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeahline MSG next year.

1206
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, we know we got there.

1207
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: There's there's comedy clubs that that didn't want to call

1208
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: you back. I think that one club only called you

1209
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: back because they heard you were running.

1210
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 2: They was like, we gotta get this guy off the ballot.

1211
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 1: We were he said some Manta trump ship one time,

1212
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: and we got to make sure he's not a voice.
