Starting point is 00:00:00 So, money is a thing, but it's not everything. I think you really look at the importance of what are you doing with your time. The conversations that we've had with our financial advisor is very much building what that framework looks like that helps support those important things. The place is where you're investing your time and your resources, your family clearly, and those closest to you. Edward Jones. We do money differently. Visit EdwardJones.ca slash different.
Starting point is 00:00:30 I actually think that Trump out of office. For good reason. Well, was a good thing for your show, because it allowed you to do it. It's not about my show, Candace. No! No, no, no, no. I don't believe in that.
Starting point is 00:00:41 I don't believe in chip. I think we've established tonight. We've all got our own. We've all got our own things. We've all got our own things. Hello. Who is hiding in my house? This is awesome.
Starting point is 00:00:58 This is actually a really sick man cave. How are you? My husband has one. It's not a man cave because I'm not a husband. It's a man cave. I'm not a husband. It's a man cave. It's not. It's a man club.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Yeah, but men need caves even if they don't have wives. Nope. I think they do. This is a night club. You don't hear it. Oh, I see you're with child. I've been with child for three years. I've been pregnant for three years.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I've had a baby in 2021. I was just like my permanent state now, I'm basically an elephant. You do know that science knows what causes this now. Do they know? I actually have been trying to figure it out for a lot of three years because it feels like it's a medical condition. So you're like having Irish twin? Literally I have a two year old, a one year old,
Starting point is 00:01:32 and this one's due in November. I've been pregnant for three years. So I think it's gonna be weird, I'm not pregnant anymore. I'm gonna be like, I don't know what to do with myself. What's that like when you're always pregnant? Honestly, it's gonna be rough. It's not, I feel like everyone has this
Starting point is 00:01:47 like cultural understanding of pregnancy and I think a lot of them will play it up. Cultural, I know I feel like there's this alien annoying on you from the inside. Yeah, but it's like, it's not that big of a deal. I gotta be honest with you, it's like, for some women, obviously you can look at them and you can tell which ones are having
Starting point is 00:02:03 what looks like an allergic reaction, right? And they have a rough go with it, but some people just do pregnancy pretty easily. And I'm one of those people that just kind of like it doesn't really change anything. So you're just going to keep going? No, I wanted to do it all back to back because I didn't want to be, I don't know what parents do, but like we had a kid and we waited five years for next one. I'm like who wants to like restart and take out all the bottles? And I just was like, if I'm getting pregnant, I'm just gonna have all of my kids back to back. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:32 And then one, poop, poop, poop, poop, poop. Yeah, I think it's genius. So you do believe in birth control. You're not doing that. I actually don't believe in birth control. No, you're just doing it the Catholic way, just like whatever happens. My husband's so Catholic, like beyond,
Starting point is 00:02:43 he's the Catholic. You could have 12 kids. I know, it's dangerous's so Catholic, like beyond, he's the Catholic. You can have 12 kids. I know, it's dangerous. It's course, it is. It's completely dangerous. And stupid. I'm on your side.
Starting point is 00:02:51 What are you gonna do? Should trek them and take birth control? Yeah, I don't know, Catholics, they have a lot of kids. This is just, yes. I didn't choose this life. That was just a thing when I was a kid. Really? Where did you grow up?
Starting point is 00:03:05 New Jersey. OK, yeah, you definitely saw some 14 kids. Catholic. Yeah. For sure. For sure. But they were happy. But you don't want that to be you.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I do kind of. I kind of want to school them. Yeah. Yeah, my colleague Matt, well, she's got six kids. I feel I'm naturally competitive. Oh my god. Yeah, I know it's just bad. Well, it's bad. I feel I'm naturally competitive. Oh my God. Yeah, I know it's just bad. Well, it's bad.
Starting point is 00:03:28 I'm very, very competitive. So I feel like now I might just have six kids, just seven, just to beat them. It's really bad. Definitely bad for the planet. I know. Let's not get into that. Right. Kids are bad for the planet.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Well, everything. They're pretty eco-friendly, actually. Adults are bad for the planet. Well, they're not eco-friendly in the sense that they're going to have kids. And you know, you're just making more people who are using resources, you know, people who argue about planet. And, you know, Elon Musk, I don't understand his whole thing
Starting point is 00:04:01 about like, we should have more people, like, there's should have more people say there's room. Of course there's room. It's not about room. It's about resources. We don't have the resources. We have the room. We just don't have, I read yesterday the day where the, what did they call the groundwater? We've already like sucked out all the groundwater that we can possibly use.
Starting point is 00:04:21 They're not, there's just not enough rain falling for like all your kids. It's all about you, Kansas. Thank you. It's interesting because I've just kind of run this whole book debunking all of that, which I feel like in two years, you're gonna have a totally different perspective on all of that.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Because I've seen your growth and where you were a few years ago to where you are now. And you know, Elon Musk, I think, is probably pretty educated about the planet. Resources, do you think? No. No. Not necessarily, not either of you, if you think
Starting point is 00:04:56 that we can somehow keep putting people on the planet, which has a finite amount of resources. Oh, look, there's my zucchini that I gave to, I was looking for that, look at that thing. Did you grow that? I did and I gave it to Vivek when he was here a couple of weeks ago. He didn't take it. He didn't take it. Unless he took it and they put another one just like it in there, but I don't think that, let me see that, can't be that. You actually grow this. Yes. You actually really big zucchini. I told him, I said you were probably at the Iowa State Fair.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Yeah. And this is probably the kind of thing that you would have. I grow vegetables, and I just want to tell you that maybe he doesn't grow them. That's a very respectable zucchini. Would you like it? I actually would. I actually love zucchini. Maybe a reminder, not to get pregnant.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Right. We're not going to leave it there. It's going to wind up staying there again. No, I won't leave it. I actually love bikini. Yeah, it's fantastic. Yeah, this is my favorite. I actually do cucumbers this year.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And I got some pretty big cucumbers, but they're wretched to grow. Cut, you know, just kind of grow out. It's almost ashamed to have to cut into that, but you do. Yeah, you do. But don't you not believe like in the moon landing, so I'm supposed to believe you about climate? I think it's so funny how people take, well, first off, I know what I'm talking about with the climate stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:08 So I'm just gonna go ahead and promote what we do. Well, you're not the only one. Yeah, well, I mean, I think you should probably realize that there is in the same way that there are narratives. I think you're now more awake to the climate hoax is one that funds trillions of dollars. And we are not running out of space. You could fit the entire world if you stacked it
Starting point is 00:06:26 like New York City in Dallas. So, I just said it's not about... But the point is that hurricanes are down. The whole idea that every time it rains, it's because something bad is happening. It's like, it's okay. What I will agree with you on is this. The environmentalists do often lie
Starting point is 00:06:46 because they have this idea, this issue is so important, and by the way, it is so important, that it's okay if we shade the truth to get people on our side, and I don't agree with that. I'm always mad. It lied every time.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Well, not every time. What was your climate disaster growing up? Mine was global warming, they don't even say it anymore. They don't say global warming. No, they don't, no, they say climate change. They went from global cooling. Maybe not a year, but what in the world they do? No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:07:11 They went from global cooling to global warming. They never were in global, no one was ever talking, it was one, that's such a stupid talking point that you keep repeating it to zombie life. It was one article in one magazine in one day, one week in Newsweek or something. Nobody was talking about global cooling. Yes, we understand that the planet is always changing. That's a different story. There was a whole climate alarm alarmism via the IPCA for global cooling. No, they were. There was. But do you believe people ended on the moon?
Starting point is 00:07:43 Well, let's just back up. Because if you don't, you're gonna think that's set. No, no, no, no. You are taking. You are really set to standard for this discussion. You are taking something that was a Twitter. You can't answer it. Joe, I'm gonna answer your question,
Starting point is 00:07:54 but I'm just trying, so I think you should add context because what you're doing now is you're jumping away from an actual meaningful discussion about climate change and the hoax that's surrounding it and making people fearful to have children. And you're like, well, didn't you once tweet? When I said, literally, I said in the tweet,
Starting point is 00:08:11 it let's have some fun today. What is one conspiracy theory that almost got you and that you think could possibly be real? And I said, the one that always gets me every time is the moon landing. How can we haven't gone back? So you're taking this one tweet where people then shared the things that they think
Starting point is 00:08:28 that were not really serious or political on this long thread to now apply to a conversation about climate change. But just to be clear, people did land on the moon. I don't know. Okay, there we go. I don't know. I do know.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I just want to know why we didn't go back. We did go back. What did we go back? What, you know? To the moon? We people on the moon? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:50 That was a big question. I'm asking you a question. That was a big question. That was a big question. When did we go back to people walking on the moon? We first landed on the moon. 69, okay. July 20th, 1960, now.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Yeah. We went back like 10 more times. Who went back? Who walked on the moon? America, you know? No, but like what were the astronauts' names? Educate me, why? What the fuck were members what the astronauts names were
Starting point is 00:09:06 It's a big it's pretty big deal to walk on the moon the first guy and then after that. Yes, let's walk down it I don't remember the name it like another dozen. Yeah Are you we okay a lot of other dozen humans walk on the moon? Yes, Americans, all Americans. Okay, we don't remember that. We kept going back. Apollo 13 was the one they made the movie about. That was the one they aborted, but that was after we had landed. Apollo 11, I think, was the one.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I'm not talking about space missions. I'm talking about actual people walking in. Yes, landing on the moon and walking on it. First of all, it is an impressive scientific feat. It's not out of the realm of like, how could that possibly happen? It's only 250,000 miles away. They had figured out enough to be able to do it,
Starting point is 00:09:52 even with these shitty computers that they had in 1969. Yes, it's risky, and we did lose people doing it. But we did do it. I mean, plainly, I mean, the idea that you could think that this was some sort of hoax, I'm sorry, but it colors everything else. I'm just saying that, like, I'm just not, I feel like you're trying to find this one. I've never talked this on my show.
Starting point is 00:10:16 You're literally talking about one funny tweet. It's relevant. It's really not that relevant. It's relevant that you won't say. I know, absolutely people walked on the moon. It's relevant. I feel that you are finding an angle here to try to talk about something that I've never talked about
Starting point is 00:10:33 on my podcast. I've never talked people on a debate. So you never talked about it. I never talked about it. You probably had a producer dig up what you thought were the most absurd tweets. Well, there's no way you, it's out like you're saying it's out there. There's no way you're saying it out. It's like articles about this.
Starting point is 00:10:48 It's so obscure. It's like literally, I mean, it said, like, let's have some fun. What are some of the things that, what are some conspiracy theories that you read that you have questions about? And I was like, the moon landing. First of all, I promise you, there is no production on this show.
Starting point is 00:11:04 No, it's a pretty niche thing of all the things I talk about that I known for. Like there was even an article written about this about me. I wasn't planning to talk about it. Yeah, so it's like, how did you get here? Because you saw it on Twitter? I got here, somehow I knew it. But how?
Starting point is 00:11:19 Because it's out there. But it's not as I read it. It's not like in my Wikipedia. Like it's like, it's so obscure. It's so niche that I'm just like curious. I don't think that's the case because I think I read it in It's not like I'm in my Wikipedia. It's like it's so obscure. It's so niche that I'm just curious. I don't think that's the case because I think I read it in the vanity fair article about you. No.
Starting point is 00:11:30 No. That's what I mean. It's not even relevant for like it's I've never, ever had a single person sit down and ask me this question. Well, then I've done America a service because we find the baseline of your thinking. I'm sorry, but that is relevant that you don't think men landed on the moon. It's almost everything.
Starting point is 00:11:47 No, I just said, I would, like, first off, what I specifically said was, I want to know why, and I think even Elon Musk said this in his time piece. Ask him about it. Yeah, I think he did address it in his time piece. I think he probably believes it has. But I'm just not interested in this topic, like at all.
Starting point is 00:12:04 So it's just like, you just came in so fiery about something that think he probably believes it. But I'm just not interested in this topic at all. So it's just like you just came in so fiery about something that I am not known for. That was like an obscure tweet of like, it started with Let's Have Some Fun. And it was in a joking manner. And suddenly you're like, how could you not believe the moon landing? And I'm like, the energy is like a little.
Starting point is 00:12:22 My apologies, and I don't want this to be adversary. Oh, it was just surprising. We have done on to global warming. I would not believe. So I'm okay to have this topic. But I I connected it to that because it was like, okay, but I'm in the public sphere talking about that. I've had experts on my show talking about a Gregory White and soon talked about his book about the climate change hoax. I care deeply about that because of the implications and how the climate change hoax and the trillion to dollars that are basically disappearing
Starting point is 00:12:47 for things like Paris or Corgolini. Like I'm very much on record, and I'm sincere. Not to be the dead horse, but if you think the moon landing is a hoax, it colors my view of what you think of the global warming being a hoax. So let's do that. But I never said the moon landing is a hoax. I said, name one conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 00:13:07 No, I asked you point blank. Oh, it's got you. I said, I don't know anything about it. I don't know anything about it. I can't even debate it. You're sitting at the time when you have 12 men have gone on the moon since I don't know anything about it. And so I keep a very, I think that there's one thing
Starting point is 00:13:19 that people will say about me is I don't come into conversations about things that I don't know. So I'm not going to sit here and pretend to be an expert on the moon landing. But on things that I actually know, I'm willing to, because I don't care. Would you read about it? I literally don't, it's to me. Would you read about it? It's utterly incongent to Quancho for the work that I do.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Yeah, I would. That's why I said, fun thread. Tell me this, like we were like, tell me what's one conspiracy theory that you believe that we can look into. I mean, we really should pull the tweet because it's weird that you're making this so severe as if I was like on a talk show debating the moon landing. And so what I'm saying is I've never cared about this topic. Because it's a undebatable topic that you like,
Starting point is 00:13:55 if you want to, I did, it's fake. You're making it debatable. I don't think anyone watching this will think that I made this topic debatable. I think you've made this debate. I told you what I sent to Funny Tweet, and it's a pretty obscure tweet that's never been. How's life in Nashville?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Ever discussed before today. How's life in Nashville? Nashville's real, right? Nashville is a real place, and I love Nashville. It's really great. Yeah, it's interesting. I was just in Austin, Texas. And I feel like Austin and Nashville
Starting point is 00:14:22 are the two places where the liberal diaspora, shall we call it, liberals who want to get away. And I certainly understand why I live here in California. It is a ridiculous state that drives you insane. I totally get it. I'm too dug in here to make a change and where else would I find Club random. But I get it. I feel like those are the two places they go. They go to Austin and they go to Nashville. Because you're not really out in the sticks. I mean Austin's a pretty liberal town and any city is blue, right?
Starting point is 00:15:01 Okay. So you're out of like the fire, but you didn't go to the frying pan. Is that about right? Yeah, that's pretty much it. I mean, for us, we were also between Texas and Tennessee, for sure. We were probably between Chattanooga and Dallas, and we decided on Nashville because I think a lot more opportunities were happening. If there was a lot of LA people coming starting studios, Daily wiremoods, they're studio from LA to Nashville.
Starting point is 00:15:27 So it felt like the right place. And I think at that time, I was having kids. So you sort of naturally crave the suburbs when you have kids, obviously, like the whole New York. By the way, if I was a parent, well, first of all, it would be, there'd be a unholy hell if I was a parent because probably we're going to be on the same page on this shit. Some of this stuff that goes on in the schools is just so Craig-Cray and I would not be able to
Starting point is 00:15:51 keep my mouth shut about it. So I'm sure a state like Tennessee does not have laws that some of the blue states do where like you, the parents are not allowed to be notified by the school. They're actually prohibited. If the kid changes their gender, like they say that would be outing the student to a parent, outing is a word we even use in connection with a parent. Shouldn't everything be out to the parent?
Starting point is 00:16:21 I'm sure I'm singing from your hymnal nail. Am I allowed to have a opinion on this or? on this? I'm just trying to make up for my soul paw with the moon. I just don't care. I'm just being honest, I don't care about that at all. I literally don't think about it. I wouldn't have ever picked a debate with somebody about something that I just don't care about, but this I care deeply about. And this is what I do a lot of work in the space of talking to parents and understanding how we've become so removed from our own children systematically. And you're right that places like LA and New York have become these major hubs where the state has gone too far.
Starting point is 00:16:56 And I do a lot of work on other stuff too that you would think is weird and vaccine stuff for parents and kind of giving them a guy. I know, I'm with you there. OK, I wasn't sure about that. And, you know, I do, I produce an entire separate series talking about vaccines and sort of the increase.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Well, I don't think there are. I was a kid. I don't think vaccines are a hoax or anything, right? I just... Not a hoax, but, you know, do your kids need from 1982? No, they don't. Six to 75, you know. I mean, my view just to be clear,
Starting point is 00:17:23 vaccines are a tool in the medical kit, just like antibiotic. And just like antibiotics, I wouldn't want to be told everyone's taking them. So you have to do. Right. Yeah, one side fits all. If I decide I need one for a certain pathogen
Starting point is 00:17:38 and I'm at a place in my life where I think that playing the odds, which is what medicine always is, that would be the smart thing. Okay. But forcing it and then children who never needed it for this, the least likely. And they're so sick. The kids have never been sicker. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Never be sicker. Right. Never be sicker. I start my series by asking, these kids have never been more backs with the most of backs country in the entire world. You know, we have these high infant mortality rates one way against third world countries. And you're being told that this is because we're super healthy, you got kids 75 vaccines,
Starting point is 00:18:08 when I was a kid, it was 12, you know. And there's been an explosion, people don't even know anything about the diseases, it's just these constant fear campaigns. And then on top of that, in states like LA, you can't opt out, you know. So these are things that parents have to think about. Now, where you're literally raising your kids,
Starting point is 00:18:24 could you go to prison for saying that I don't want my child's referred to as a different gender behind my back? Yes. Depending on where you live, they are trying to criminalize you being a parent. And then you add that to the medical complex. And maybe you say, you know, I'm not afraid of my kid gets chicken pox. I got chicken pox, which you can pox parties. You can't do that in LA.
Starting point is 00:18:43 You can't do that in LA. And if you're a doctor and you'd say, oh, this parent didn't want their child to get the chicken pox vaccine I got chicken pox, which is chicken pox parties, can't do that in LA. You can't do it in LA. And if you're a doctor and you say, oh, this parent didn't want their child to get the chicken pox vaccine, your gay life's taken away in a place like LA. I don't think parents realize why that's so scary. Not necessarily, we can argue all day. You can call me aunt, tie back.
Starting point is 00:18:56 So I'm back and call you pro-backs. But as parents, we should be able to make decisions for our children. I don't fear the chicken pox. That's all I was to, I mean, yes, I would really not go over well in today's world if I was a parent. I would just be in fights and it would just be ugly.
Starting point is 00:19:14 And then my kids, my hat is off to anyone who is a parent today because I honestly feel it has never been harder to be a parent because you're not allowed to boss them around. What's the fucking point of having kids if they can't boss them around? And although also, how could you possibly control a fairer little monster like that
Starting point is 00:19:33 if you couldn't boss them around? I know. It's insane that they treat them like they're just short people. Like, yeah, adults. And that's weird too. I was actually talking with somebody that was here before you came in here about sort of the LA spell
Starting point is 00:19:46 because it is there's something weird about parents in this particular bubble, this particular part of LA where they think that the children are adults. I don't understand. You know, we don't want to tell our child to know. I met a parent that said that. We don't believe in telling our child no. And I just said, okay, he rapes someone, 13.
Starting point is 00:20:04 And he says, my mom never taught me the word no. There were no boundaries. Who's fault is that going to be? I mean, it's... This country reminds me of like a medieval European country where a five-year-old ascends to the throne and inherits it. And so all the courtiers have to pretend that whatever brain fart, whatever
Starting point is 00:20:26 brain fart comes out of the mouth of this five-year-old toddler, yes, is something that we have to take seriously and treat as valid and debatable. That's what this country is. That is very accurate. That was a very incredible analogy. Pockets on the country though, I would say. Pockets, particularly here. You don't see that stuff in Tennessee. Like, is it a huge pool? Well, that's the pool. Yes, ma'am, no sir.
Starting point is 00:20:52 You know what I mean? And they don't play around with that stuff. And that's what I love about this. And that's why I completely understand why people move to places like Austin and Nashville. And this is what they attacked me for. So, vigorously when I did my editorial about trends,
Starting point is 00:21:07 which I feel like, again, a great demarcation between what liberal is, old school liberal and woke, liberal believes trends is a course of real thing, and they should be protected and respected. Woke is like, well they can like tie their shoe We tell them they very likely might be in the wrong body. I ran your segment on my podcast actually because it was really it Yeah, and on real time you did the segment talking about okay, this is a real thing Why is it regional geography? Why is it regional really important? That's what I was saying. Yeah, why is it so regional?
Starting point is 00:21:44 What is it the water you're in California? I might be. I've been to dinner parties more than one. Where there's 12 people and they're all talking about their trans kids. They're all three. It's almost like that's the norm. Yeah. And that can't really be the norm. I mean, I get it that things happen in nature. You know, mix up at the factory, whatever you want to call it, nature, you know, I know the religious people like to call it, you know, what do they say, intelligent design. It's not that intelligent in a lot of ways. I mean, in a lot of ways it is, but there's a lot of stuff about the human body and the way we're built and the way we, you know, like, flam, I feel like it's a very often unnecessary and only makes things worse.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I wish I could talk to my own body and say, we don't need this flam. You know, I know you're trying to help, but, you know, you're not really helping because I don't think it's stop, I think it's giving a place for the bacteria to nestle it. Right. Well, it actually is funny because it's not going to be much of a piece. It's like, what's up with a bunch of flutters? It's really, really, this... I don't know what clutch is it.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I can't figure out what makes it... But there must be something objectively good about flim. And now I'm interested, and this is the kind of random things that I'll research on the internet. Like, what actually is purpose of flim? But there was a real housewife, and I cannot and I will not name her because I got in trouble on YouTube for talking about it, even though she talked about it first and came out and said she's got like two, she's got four kids,
Starting point is 00:23:12 dads, a doctor, brilliant doctor, but Beverly Hills, so, you know. Here we go. There you go. How brilliant can you really be? And especially now that doctors don't have a different team of sexes, and they've got like two non-binary children,
Starting point is 00:23:23 one gay child and one trans child. Is it just a two and they've got like two non-binary children, one gay child and one trans child. Wait, is it just a... Say that slower? Two non-binary children? Non-binary meaning... They are not bound to any sex. How old are they? Uh, these, all of these children are like 12, maybe 15 and under.
Starting point is 00:23:38 So non-binary, would that be the same as bisexual? Uh, I'm not sure, and I don't want to get us into trouble because these definitions change and they're fluid. And the second you don't get the update to your phone. The children have fluid too. Yes. And also a trans child and like a gay child. And I'm like, this is a disco impossibility, obviously. And they kind of come out and said, obviously,
Starting point is 00:24:00 because this is disco impossibly. Something's going on in your house. And I'm going to guess it's a lack of parenting, right? Because these are just things. I didn't graduate high school, the single Fing non-billionaire child. So this is made up, right? And you're telling me all of your children have this thing that didn't exist when I was in high school in 2007,
Starting point is 00:24:16 but now all of your children are suffering from this thing. And that's kind of, I think, the litmus test for me is like, okay, if this is a real thing, why did this just not exist at all when I was in school? And it's not like they're playing catch up, but it's not like now suddenly kids are going back from my high school class and saying, I'm trans. They're not. We had gay kids, a couple of lesbian kids, you know, and everyone else was, you know, that

Starting point is 00:29:02 We say some things they like and some things they don't. Yeah, that's a lot of it. But when things they don't. Yeah, I love it. But when we're not agreement about something, I think people feel the same about me in this way. Like when they do agree, it's like, that person really, I mean, rubs my clit on that, the way they do that. They really, I just love you so much
Starting point is 00:29:19 when you go off on something that deserves to be gone off on. Yeah. And I feel like people feel that a way. They do. Like when I go off on something that deserves to be gone off on. Yeah. And I feel like people feel that at one point. They do. Like when I go off on something and it deserves that ass kicking and you do it, I mean, you're funny. You have a, I saw you make doing the M&M thing where you were like, you were making fun of all this move.
Starting point is 00:29:38 I just don't know what happened. I know, but it was really funny. I mean, the way you just like, and I like Eminem, but you made him look ridiculous. You did. You did. He's now just, you met Vivek Ramaswamy. It's like, you're picking on Vivek Ramaswamy.
Starting point is 00:29:55 He is? That's what I was mimicking him because... He was so much Trump-knooking the world. Yeah, that was, yeah, I was going back and just showing how, you know, the fall of Eminem, but the segment that I was doing was just about like he keeps doing this We get it you don't like a public agent like in turn is but But they did was so harmless. I mean he was in front of like six kids wrapping some M&M lyrics and M&M Moira up against him, but I did advise the bake when he was here to stop wrapping. Yes
Starting point is 00:30:20 It's that is not written. No really right. It's just not a good look It's, that is not, no, really, right? It's just not a good look. It's, you know, Vague, he reminds me so much of that character from Mean Girls. He's a, he's a true academic, high achieving, nice guy. Which girl in, what do you ever see Mean Girls? Of course. Mathletes.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Mathlet, okay, right. Mm-hmm, and then there's the Indian guy who wraps on stage and he's like, suck, suck, suck, suck, and I'm seeing things. Ain't got nothing on me. But he's cooler than that. He's cool, no, the guy is cool. But he's a high achieving athlete
Starting point is 00:30:47 who also likes hip-hop. He's into different things. And I loved having a vague idea. I thought he was super inspirational. I like that he has been staying above the fray because I'm super fatigued with politics right now. Well, he's a lot more on your page with some of these issues like global warming
Starting point is 00:31:01 than I am. Yeah. I find him, as I said to him, I find you very disarming and also alarming. Yeah. But that's me. And I think some of it is performative. I, you know, he will not admit that he wants to be the vice president, but of course Trump is going to be the nominee.
Starting point is 00:31:21 So there's, there are only running for vice President at this point. Would you not agree? No, no, no, no. Obviously, Ron DeSantis is not running to be Trump's Vice President. Right? Absolutely not. Nikki Haley is not running. You're 44. Why wouldn't he take that? Of course. Oh, no, he won't. No, he won't. They hate each other. They hate each other. You say Haley's not running to be Vice President. Do you think that Lyndon Johnson and John F. Kennedy didn't hate each other? You think hating someone is disqualifies you to serve and you're with them as vice president? It's practically a qualification.
Starting point is 00:31:51 I could see Tim Scott doing the VP thing, but I think they're all after something else. Because you can also run to get your name out because you want to run again in four years. You're just kind of testing the water of a vakes young enough that the VP office doesn't seem for me to be as cool. But if I could go back just to the VP thing, only because like I've watched a little more history because you're so young.
Starting point is 00:32:12 So young. I wasn't even alive in the moon landing. So the what? What happened? I doubt it. Child. But like, usually I'm telling you, the vice president and the president hate each other because they just ran against each other. And the guy picks as the vice president very often the person who
Starting point is 00:32:35 is the kind of the runner-up who wants to bring in that coalition and also the guy who like sort of fits the thing that he doesn't do George Bush pick Dan Quail, because I'm old and experienced and this little boy, you know, they used to have a month starting that life as a like a child. Yeah, I get what you're saying. So I don't think they all, you don't think Nikki Haley. No, I think she's going for like,
Starting point is 00:33:02 she's running to secure wealth because she started her career to do what? Well, she was like a million dollars in the debt, right? And now she's got money pouring into her coffers. I think they have, they all have incentives and I'm not saying any of them are pure, but I think they're different incentives. I think Nikki is motivated by money and I think that she like the Vasex on stage is actually looking for a deal with like, Raythean there's something. There's just how much they all want to know. I noticed they, many of them purposely, I'm sure they know better, mispronounced Vivek's name. They did. Just to get the idea, this person, foreigner, funny name, Vivek, is it Vivek? What is your, but when Nikki Haley did it,
Starting point is 00:33:45 fellow Indian American, I was like, oh, Nikki, not you too. I know. You don't know how to say his name. I know. I don't think so. Yeah, I don't know. How did you think she did?
Starting point is 00:33:59 As good as she could, as good as you can do in that format, I thought she, look, it's gonna be Trump, and whoever he wants, like Pence obviously isn't wanting to be vice president, right? Right. See, they all have different reasons they're running. No, he might be deluded enough to think that Jesus will decide it should be him,
Starting point is 00:34:21 and that's really what he thinks makes the difference in the world is what Jesus decides. I mean, I remember having a discussion with the old dorm room bullshit session with my sophomore roommate and we talked about, I forget what the issue was for like two hours and finally he just said, well, because I think Jesus Christ will come down and blah, blah, blah, blah, and I was like, why did I waste two hours? If that's what you really think about how this issue is going to get resolved, Jesus Christ is going to come down and do this in ABC. And I think that's Mike Pence. You think Mike's Pence is running because he thinks Christ ordained him? I think he's running because he thinks it's in God's hands and he's a very good friend
Starting point is 00:35:02 of God. And like, it doesn't look good right now, but Jesus can perform miracles because we know that because of bread and loaves and stuff walking on. I take it here and devout atheists. Devout. Okay, I got you. I think probably Pence is running
Starting point is 00:35:22 because he doesn't know what to do next. He ran a state, became the vice president. What's the next natural progression? It's something that can be president. And also because he wants to separate his brand from Trump, which I think he feels like I got murky, and there's some genuine bad blood there. So I don't, I actually- Oh, there's definitely some bad blood there.
Starting point is 00:35:43 I don't think any of them are running to be Trump's VP because they all trashed him on the stage. But Vaca's the only one that Trump would consider. Trashdom. Trump. They kissed his ass. Trump? Yeah, the only one that trashed him is Chris Christie.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Chris Christie trashed him. DeSandis said nothing to be fair. DeSandis, like, didn't say anything the whole night. They all raised their hand when they said, DeSandis did the, well, okay, but they raised their hand except for Christie when they said, if you- The sandisted the... Well, okay, but they raised their hand, except for Christie when they said, would you support him as the nominee?
Starting point is 00:36:09 I mean, that's pretty amazing for a guy who's, you know, probably going to be convicted for what he should be convicted for, and I'm sure we agree on this, can't it? Definitely sure we agree on this. About, you know, trying to overthrow the government of the United States. You're just not like,
Starting point is 00:36:26 you're not a weak enough person to really, I don't buy this. This I think you, I think you dance this way because you think you have to play Kate. Okay, first of all, I'm just, no chance, no chance. Just to educate. No chance, no chance.
Starting point is 00:36:37 No chance, no chance. Just to educate. Almost lost America on January 6th. I just don't buy that you're that sauce. Yeah, I do. And just to educate you a little on this, I was saying this for five years when everyone was laughing at me
Starting point is 00:36:47 for saying this, that Trump would never conceive the election and he would never go away. I was all alone on a raft. But I mean, you saw BLM riots, right? Yeah. The summer leaving up to this, right? Where like I lived in DC at this time, where you couldn't go outside, cars were flipped,
Starting point is 00:37:01 things were burned, people were boarding up their windows. But you thought the end of democracy, you can say this meaningfully happens when people above the age of like 65 stormed the cap, like you thought that was the worst thing you've ever seen in American politics. Well, I mean, what was the worst thing? That was a small part of a bigger picture. The worst thing was that finally we had a president after all this history that we've had, nobody ever did this, not Al Gore and not Nixon, who probably didn't actually lose their elections, they allowed this peaceful transfer of power to happen. We finally had a guy who decided, of course, because he's insane, decided that, no matter what happens, I won this election.
Starting point is 00:37:43 There's only two things that could possibly happen. I win the election, or if I don't win the election, there must have been some cheating. It was looked at by his own people around him, including the Homeland Security Department, including the Director of National Intelligence, including every court, federal and state, including his own lawyers, his daughter, Bill Barr, everybody told him, you lost this election. They looked at this over and over again, even the Republican vote counters,
Starting point is 00:38:15 like the one he called who said, find me 11,000 more votes, even those people told him. So plainly, he did not accept losing the election and then he tried to put in a bun. This is why he's unfrived. But I'm just asking you to believe that that day, as the media person, I'm talking about media hoaxes.
Starting point is 00:38:31 I guess I just, I give him my answer. It's not just that day, although that was part of the scheme. I mean, it's not like coincidence that they showed up on the very day that they were certifying the vote at the very place they were doing it to stop that from happening. And did you have any questions about why the FBI hasn't been able to find, since we started with media hoaxes, do you think it's strange that they haven't been able to find
Starting point is 00:38:53 who dropped off the pipe bombs the night before? Because I think that's the strangest piece. What's pipe bombs? Oh, this is some red, hairy bullshit. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:39:03 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,. You know, remember, the night before in January 5th, there were pipe bombs that were set outside of the RNC and the DNC headquarters, right? This was a part of the whole thing. Bombs were about to go off, but they were able to, you know, get the bombs out. This is why, you know, AOC said to should have fly for like all this stuff. So I'm asking you, do you have more pressing questions about why they have not been able to find a person that dropped off those pipes?
Starting point is 00:39:24 I will have to look into that the way you'll have to look into the moon saying. Fair, okay. Because I think that's a very big piece for a lot of people of just understanding what actually happened on that day. As I said before, I don't trust the media on anything because they never give you the full story. So, I will allow that there could be this element to the story that is part of the story. I don't think it will probably change my mind that Donald Trump would not concede an election,
Starting point is 00:39:50 kept saying it was a fake and that he had all these reasons to believe that people had voted, like 10,000, he said to the Refs and Berger on the call, I actually corrected him and said, you know, you claim that there was 10,000 dead people who voted in Georgia. We looked and we looked and we looked. It was two. That sums it all up. There was actually two.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Now, he's not on trial for lying. You're apparently about to allowed to lie to the American people about elections, even though nobody ever really did that before. But okay, he's not trial for breaking specific laws. Forgery. I mean, forgery. Forstacey Abrams.
Starting point is 00:40:30 He forged. He forged election and said that it was. Well, that's, that's, let's just be, let's be. Yes, that, but okay, you're right. I can see. Okay, Hillary Clinton took a very long time. I actually don't think she's still. Hillary Clinton was there before the night was over in her purple suit
Starting point is 00:40:45 conceiting the election she slept in you're wrong. No, I'm not wrong. John Podesta came to the podium and said was before dawn of the next day. Okay, my point is that saying that there was that there were no, I didn't lose my point. My point is that you're saying that Hillary you were Hillary conceited as soon as it was obvious that she lost the more the thing that I'm trying to get you to to say though we know that you hate Trump that. The more the thing that I'm trying to get you to say though, we know that you hate Trump. That has been abundantly obvious. Yes, we do.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I actually think that Trump out of office. For good reason. Well, was a good thing for your show because it allowed you to. It's not about my show, Candace. No. It's insulting. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I'm saying because people that were watching your show that you didn't know I finished it. You can't be told to my son said it didn't finish it. No, but you keep applying it. I was gonna say that people that did not watch your show because there was so much dedication to talking about Trump I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not I can see it and I believe you believe everything you said. Give me the same courtesy. I said I believe in hate-shop. Well, you're saying I'm doing things for ratings
Starting point is 00:41:48 or to bring in a different audience. I never do any- I actually believe that literally amongst my audience is more conservative, started watching you post Trump. Yes. Myself included. That's a bad number. I'm sorry I said you got a bigger audience now.
Starting point is 00:42:01 But, oh my gosh, you're going to be quite selfish. No, no, no, no, no. You were scrived a reason to it that's not true. I do have a bigger audience now. Oh my gosh, you're gonna think by yourself. You were described a reason to it, that's not true. I do have a bigger conservative audience and a less woke audience, probably more people who are common-sense centers, good, fine. I didn't do it for that reason. I never said you did it for that reason.
Starting point is 00:42:18 I said it, I did not imply that. Okay, fine. I genuinely meant what I said. Okay, yeah. I think I think that from that out of office, you started focusing on different topics other than Trump. I was able to see that like, Well, he wasn't president anymore. Of course.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I'm not faulting you. I'm just making a comment that you're, I think that your audience base has gotten a lot bigger since Trump left office. Some people might even take it as a compliment. Different. Crazy. But some people might take this as a compliment. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Well, that part, yeah. Yeah, because you're talking about like, we just just talked about, like, you know, trans kids and bring up geography and things. And I think that while Trump was in office, and this is not just your show that it was even my show, I think it everything was about Trump. Everything was about Trump. I agree. Right. And it wasn't that it's never been that way for any other president.
Starting point is 00:43:00 And everything was about Obama. Is other presidents weren't, and not like that. We have definitely, I believe that there, and we can disagree on this, I think that from the second he announced that he was coming down, there was a media obsession with taking him down, like I have never seen it. Actually woke me up. I was on the liberal side and it turned me into a conservative. It was vicious, it was nasty, it was all he didn't think that he wasn't. There was, but that's it.
Starting point is 00:43:23 But that was, but that was, that Trump was like a didn't think that it wasn't. There was, but that's it. You didn't participate in that, but that Trump was like about racist. That was trying to format the clans. It was a little bit dramatic, you know. But that happens with every president and everybody who gets that high up in the tree. You know, when I don't know how far back it goes, probably to George Washington, when a person is the one who's going to be in power, the people who want to prevent that, who think opposite of how he thinks or she thinks, yes, that's what they do. They tried to destroy Obama.
Starting point is 00:43:49 They didn't try to destroy Obama. Not in the way that they come on, Trump. You had the least of blue period. Oh, please. We were at 85 million women that came out of the woodwork with allegations. Where were you guys? He's been in the public sphere for the last 30 years. He's had shows.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Where were you guys through allegations of what he announced were in the present wearing president. I mean was so obviously a ratchet job and these things match because it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. One of them is right from the horses mouth saying I grabbed pussy. He didn't say I grab pussy. He said he said he's he was talking about groupies. He said they will literally let you do anything including grab him by the he wasn't on my groupies. Yeah, he was. He never said that word. He said, when you're a star. Yes. That's quite a leap to say we're just talking about groupies.
Starting point is 00:44:30 And by the way, he didn't say, I grabbed this woman by the pee word. And I think that that's a part of when I say, and we had this video hoaxes, just be honest. He said, you can grab him by the pussy. He said, you can grab him by the pussy. Yeah. And you can do anything.
Starting point is 00:44:44 You can grab him by the pussy. Yeah, these girls can do anything. You can grab them by the pussy. Yeah, these girls, and they see a star. That's literally, by the way, just to be clear. That's a fact. Just to be clear, you shouldn't do that, right? But you shouldn't. Yes, but let's just be honest about what he said. This is locker room talk.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Men talking about, you know, I hang out a lot of athletes about women that throw themselves on them since it's because of who they are, and they'll let you join to do them. But we do live in this, this, you know, just a pretty economy of women who will quite literally let men, especially now with the birth of only fans and TikTok and the rise coming to star. And if you are a star, they will let you do whatever they want.
Starting point is 00:45:13 And then the media became, and he said, I personally wanted a graduate woman by the P word. It's lucky when I'm talking. Is it crass? Yes. Do women also speak crass? Women aren't looking. Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I'm very much, you know, I'm not saying this is great speech and I would love to hear if my husband was saying this about you know but I'm just trying to be rational and not be like need to crazy and acknowledge that both men and women have locker room talk. I'm an important question where can I find these women. I'm sure you had your fair share. Bill in Los Angeles where everyone's trying to be a star or be in the industry or sleep with a star of women that have thrown themselves
Starting point is 00:45:51 on you. I live strictly for America and what I can do. And Jesus Christ, right? Well, not Jesus Christ, but I live strictly to educate, to entertain America. That's where all my energy goes. I wish I had time for some of these diversions. You know exactly that what he was saying. And that was something I also hated too, because I'm like,
Starting point is 00:46:12 I'm very against the Me Too movement. I'm very against all of this like rabid feminism. I don't like the idea of, well, I actually think it does really bad for relations between men and women to pretend like some things are not abundantly true, that we don't have a culture of groupies and hos and thought and music videos. And we do.
Starting point is 00:46:31 And it's fine. And not every woman is like this. And I wouldn't love to hear my husband say it, but I also would be like, our girls, I would like you to do any of them. Right, it's funny that we can admit about men that they're dogs because most of them are. But we can't admit that girls are sluts.
Starting point is 00:46:46 But we can't. That feels not fair. Well, I feel fewer women are sluts than males are dogs. And I just learned that you were not only fans, which is lovely. Would that I'm one? That you're clearly not only fans. Or they're literally selling their bodies
Starting point is 00:47:01 for a certain product. No, oh god, no. Yeah, now there's AI only fans. So they're not even real people. And men are getting all their money to it. And it's getting pretty crazy. I mean, I know that we're always concentrating in this country on how we can help women
Starting point is 00:47:14 and we certainly should. But the truth is the people who are lost, I mean, they're both lost, everyone's lost. But the people who are really lost and don't have their shit together are men. I mean, women are killing it in college. They're doing better, you know, in the workplace. Lower suicide rates.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yes, they're more to get. Yes, they're more to get. And I think this is a perfectly emblematic of why men are just lost. I mean, if you can't even be a sleazebag, right? You know, you can't even fucking... I mean, you're... You know, we've given up on like, I'm gonna help the relationship, or even the kind of life I've lived where, like,
Starting point is 00:47:51 I've had healthy relationships, but never got married, okay? I'm not a crazy person, and I'm not an unfeeling person, and everything is very real. We've given up on all that, and now we're just like, to degrees of how you're going to like be a John and you pick, I don't even actually get laid. That's sad. It is that.
Starting point is 00:48:15 So many love men are struggling. They really are struggling. And I think it's, it's, I, where did this come from? What's your theory? I think, I think pornography is, yes yes is really harming men and it's everywhere and it's so available without your fingertips. Could not agree more. And when they're introduced to young it completely establishes their brain pathways in a way that ruins them for life. You know what I mean? It's you it's
Starting point is 00:48:36 it's not you shouldn't be introduced to that sort of I don't even want to call it pornography because it's something else now. I didn't like see porn on my computer until really maybe five years ago because I was kind of afraid. I heard about cookies and like I'm actually knowing what I'm looking at. Right. And then the first time I saw porn I was hooked. But like magazines was like always the way it was.
Starting point is 00:48:58 And I saw them. There was a big controversy in the 70s when Hugh Haffner had to decide whether he wanted to show pubic hair. They had no pubic hair. You did not see, and this is when they had pubic hair. Yeah, exactly. You know, he had to decide between that and the American car company's accounts, which
Starting point is 00:49:16 was big, because advertising was a big part of where you made your money in magazines. And Ford and General Motors were not going to advertise in a place that showed pubic hair. Right. And then I'm sure they did, probably in the ad. Probably. Okay, so then I remember Penthouse comes along. I mean, it was basically stills from porn movies. What decade?
Starting point is 00:49:38 This is probably around 2000. I think maybe the 90s, you could see that. I mean, yeah, I think in the 90s, you could see that. I mean, yeah, I think in the 90s, absolutely. There were lots of magazines, gents and sherry. We, not that I knew all of them, shaved Asian. Okay, I knew all of them. But I remember you passing the magazine stands in New York when I lived in the, and there was 90s, and there was like dozens of these kind of magazines
Starting point is 00:50:02 for very specific kinks. So it was moving toward that direction. And then we come to where every kid has a little computer in their hands. And there's no more plots. I mean, I remember the old porn movie, where it was like a Broadway play, except instead of breaking into song, they'd break into fuck every 15 minutes. But you'd have to kind of wave through the pizza delivery guy and, you know, okay, then finally they get to it.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Now it's just right to it and it is, you're so right. I'm telling you, as someone who's seen the whole arc of it, it's rapy in a way it never was. It's ugly. It's just ugly. It doesn't turn me on. Yeah, it's deviant. It's just...
Starting point is 00:50:43 And this is people are... Shocking. ...how it's impacting people and And this is people are, it's about how it's impacting people and their productive relationships and how they think sex is supposed to be had or attained. So we've come a very long way. And now we're talking about the introduction of pornography as a topic in the school system, which is now a thing, right?
Starting point is 00:50:58 Like normalizing pornography. I learned actively in school that you should watch porn, it's super healthy. Well now this is maybe right before porn became as deranged as it is today. And you're thinking that they're now learning that it's healthy to watch porn. And then when they're exposed to porn,
Starting point is 00:51:12 they're watching something that just cannot be good for their neuro pathways. Like they cannot be good for their brains to think of this as a normal sexual relationship. And for men obviously women are different biologically. We don't have the same instincts that men have when it comes to sex. And I think, are we allowed to say that? Men are women are different biologically. We don't have the same instincts that men have when it comes to sex. And I think, are we allowed to say that?
Starting point is 00:51:27 Are we men and women are different biologically? No. No, I did not mean that. We are the same. We are exactly the same. But you're running them weak. We're so different. Yeah, it's rendering men very weak.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Self-control, impulse, everything. And it's incredible when I talk about porn on my podcast, how many members spawn and say, I've been struggling with addiction for years. I want help. Men don't talk about this anymore. We're all struggling with this. It's porn is everywhere.
Starting point is 00:51:51 I open my Instagram. I've been struggling with that addiction and I don't want help. Because it's fantastic. Well, you can lead the charge. Well, it's not unhealthy to have a fantasy life with your porn girlfriends or your people in the magazines all those years.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I mean, it's release's tension. You don't always have a girlfriend. Yeah, I would push back on that. I think that porn is really unhealthy for men and I think- Any jewelry, any porn? I think, and I have noticed this by the way in speaking to like Dennis Prager
Starting point is 00:52:23 because he grew up in the magazines that the understanding of what it is now... He loves that. ...is now... Well, it's just very different. You know what I find to be the sickest perversion of all, and married people admit to it. They admit that it's so boring to have sex,
Starting point is 00:52:36 that they freely think of other people when they're having sex. I find that to be the worst perversion of all. You're basically masturbating inside another human being who you supposedly love more than anybody else. While you're thinking about the checkout girl at the croaker. That was sort of black mirror.
Starting point is 00:52:55 You're like, an episode of black mirror was talking about this like in the potential for tech to meet that moment where people could be wearing goggles and also having, right, and that could happen. That could be what you're looking at. But essentially you are wearing goggles, but having, and that could happen. That could be what we have. But essentially you are wearing goggles, but it's inside your head.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Yeah. I just don't get that thing of like, yeah, that's cool. You know, we have sex and, you know, just thinking about anybody, anybody but her or him. Why did you get married? That's very exquisite. That's why. I mean, that's from the main reason.
Starting point is 00:53:23 I cannot accept a life without hot sex. Do you ever get close? Yes. Yeah, how many times? Twice. Twice. And then cold feet on your part. No, three times.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Three times. Yes, I would say. You got close. Yeah, I got close. I mean, I was engaged when I was 29. Okay. You know, but I kind of knew even as we were engaged and buying the ring and all that stuff, I just, there was a voice in my back on my head always saying, really, you're just going to fuck this one person forever.
Starting point is 00:53:58 So it was about the sex. Yeah, it told you. Yeah, I saw it. So I think that that does show that pornography and sex is something that is not a good thing. You're maybe right. You may be right. You've been to you from unlocking this thing. And you're right.
Starting point is 00:54:13 That's what you could be right. You could be right. You could pull other side of your life. That's so beautiful. Wonderful that you never get to. And so I think, and then now you times that by just. Yeah. Pouring everywhere.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Pouring when you were just literally walking down the street and you see an ad and you're like, oh, I don't know why she has to be naked to sell me this purse, but apparently she has to be naked. I mean, it's also the case that, you know, not take the sex out of the equation. I mean, is anyone really that interesting that you're the only person you want to spend this much time with? I mean, you know, any name said the...
Starting point is 00:54:42 Many people, and I said outside of marriage too. I mean, I wish every day, actually, say, is my grandpa's death anniversary that he's one person I could speak to every day. I would get rid of six friends to only speak to my grandfather as my friend. Yeah, there are people that are that interesting. He raised you? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. And to be able to have those conversations with him, like, there are people that are just that interesting.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Why are you writing your parents' ratio? Well, we lived in my grandparents' house. About my grandfather was the patriarch of the home without questions. And he was at the breakfast, he made us breakfast, and read the Bible to us, and really instilled the values, even though I did go a very liberal route to conservatism. I thought I was a liberal.
Starting point is 00:55:23 I kind of went back to the church. What was his politics? He didn't have any. He didn I thought I was a liberal. I kind of went back to what was his politics? He didn't have any. He didn't. He didn't. He was a conservative, but he was not politically inclined. Conservative in terms of met my grandma. He was seven. So like, what did you think of John F. Kennedy? He was probably a young man. See, I wish he was still alive. I wish I was alive so I could talk about the moon. Now that we're talking about it. Yeah, but there are so many people. And especially now, as people lack so much depth and so much character, and it's even fine.
Starting point is 00:55:51 For me, it's difficult to even find interesting friends. So I get what you're talking about. Do I want to talk to this person forever? No. But my grandfather, people that lived. What would your grandfather have said about the people who say, like racism has never been worse? Yeah, it's funny you say that because I was kind of the first politically inclined person in my
Starting point is 00:56:10 show, in my family, and it was interesting to kind of see how everyone reacted to it. And my grandfather, I cared very deeply about what my grandfather thought about me, very deeply. I care very deeply about what grandpa, things about me. And he called me up one day, and I happened to have been invited to speak about the rise of white supremacy in front of Congress, and I've ever seen that clip of me. My granddad was sitting behind me. And when I did my opening statement,
Starting point is 00:56:38 I said that part of the reason that I am so compelled to dispel this narrative is because my grandfather grew up with real racism. My grandfather had the real clansmen shooting inside of his home in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He was a boy and how insulting for me to harness what he lived through, I haven't lived through a day of that in my life.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Right. Because I want clicks and views and for people to feel bad for me. That should make people sick when they do that, when they pretend. And that's all I'm ever asking. And my granddad, what's so crazy about it, I read about this in my book and why I'm the way I am today is that when my grandfather would go into these stories about the Klansmen
Starting point is 00:57:13 who hated his dad, and I think it was because his dad was, you know, the kind of person that might whistle at a white girl, you know what I mean. But anyways, when they hated his father, he would go back in the story and he'd say, we'd run in the back of the house, me and the kids, my grandpa was one of twelve and we'd run on the bed. One of twelve. Yeah, and then you're carrying on the tradition. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:57:36 My granddad would say, and then my daddy would grab the shotgun and speak back at them, and shoot back at them boys. Like so powerful. Not this light, you know. Yes. Oh my god, I looked at so powerful, not this life. Yes. Oh my God, I looked at these colleges, not except, it's like we're just black people, I've got weak, and it's saddens me because we were funny. You know, like the concept for me of comedians,
Starting point is 00:57:58 black people being able to turn pain into humor, funnier than everybody else, like always from this position of strength, and I had so much pride in that growing up. I had pride in my grandfather, pride in black America, and to see it all suddenly dissipate for me with the rise of the BLM narrative, this idea that no matter what,
Starting point is 00:58:16 no matter what, no matter Bill Mars thinking, he just sees me as like, that's a horrible toxic. No, no, I want to be able to make fun of you for your race. I want you to make fun of me. I want you to be able to talk stereotypes because they're real and they're funny. And I've seen you take people apart, like about black dorms.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Yeah. Black only dorms. I saw you with the guy, I forget who it was. But I mean, when you chop someone up, you do it like nobody's business. And again, when I'm agreeing with you, it's just such a pleasure to watch that. And that's all I'm ever asking with,
Starting point is 00:58:50 when I've been, you know, you're a blood, there are lots of idiot commentators, like Bill Maureen's a racist. I just want the truth, just don't lie to me. But don't you miss being able to make fun of each other and like a feel good way, watch the old stand-up comedians They would walk in they be on stage and they would just literally you could not survive you were Chinese You're getting a joke you're black. You're getting a joke about your and everyone is being offended and everyone's laughing and when they walk out
Starting point is 00:59:16 They're closer closer because you need to have you need to have a take it. You do now when you're when you're walking on eggshell Yeah, I can't make a joke because if it's taken the wrong way. I've got an issue in apology, but take it. And that way we don't get close. Yeah, we never get closer, we never get closer. And I'm still terrible. It's terrible. My friendships, I make one of my friends for,
Starting point is 00:59:37 I'm like, oh, well, it's because you're black or that because you're Spanish, oh, you're Jewish. And that is why we are so close because we are able to. That is actually how possible. And it's not to say That is actually how people are. And it's not to say that racism still doesn't exist. Never does it exist. There's always going to be stupid people.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Like there will all be criminals. Yes, exactly. People are dumb. We get that, you know. Right. Exactly. You're going to find these people. You're going to find these people.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Is it in a country that's now 39% non-white and where most of the white people are not bigots anymore? They might not be as enlightened as you and your fucking chat room. Have you ever met a real racist? I guess that's what you're supposed to laugh about. No, I'm so serious. Because you don't, everyone gets accused of racism,
Starting point is 01:00:14 but have you ever met like a real, like the, what always gets missed here is, if you ever met a real racist, you wouldn't take a racist seriously because they're so stupid. Like, it's like, you can't, I mean, it's like brain never develops, like, for example, the docu-series I'm doing right now. Right. Tell me about it.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Um, convicting a murderer, which is a 10-part docu-series that we're working on right now. We've got the prison calls of this person that the media turned into a hero, Stephen Avery, Netflix did this whole bit, make you think he was innocent. And we went back and got the prison calls between Stephen Avery, Netflix did this whole bit, Mickey Fink, he was innocent. And we went back and got the prison calls between Stephen Avery and his family. They should be listening to it, right? They're dropping the N word over and over. These people can barely put together a sentence, right?
Starting point is 01:00:55 The idea that I would be offended by this prison call would actually lower my standards. You got them saying, for me to be offended by this person who literally, they don't comprehend things. They're so stupid. They've lived in this trailer park forever. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:01:11 But I'm like, am I supposed to be offended or shocked that this person is dropping the N word over? And there's no black person that's gonna watch this year and be like, well, there it is. Like nobody's fearful of this racism. And by the way, I ended up killing a white girl, you know, because this is, that's why I think people also miss it, that you're actually giving too much power.
Starting point is 01:01:29 And that's why I love that my grandfather did. You give too much power to it. Right. And this is, to me, and we're not up to get into a big screaming match about it, but to me, there is a, Donald, if you ask me if Donald Trump's a racist, I would say, like just with any crime, there are greatations of it.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Is he the worst kind? Absolutely not. It's a very kind of passive of his generation. Let me give you a little story about like when I was working at the Bergen Community College, my summer job, I was going to Ivy League school and stupidly making like $20 a day working basically as an outdoor janitor at the local community college. So I had this boss. He was like, this is like a summer program.
Starting point is 01:02:15 They hired a few college kids to give him a little money. So he was always smoking a non-filter cigarette. And one time we were on the truck going somewhere to clean some shit up and he saw a bunch of little black kids and he says, yeah they're cute now but they grew up to be the word I can't say. To me that and I remember thinking I was 19 years old, wow, you asked whole races. To me that is a race. It's a race, it's a totally racist thing. So that guy does exist in the world.
Starting point is 01:02:47 That was 1974. He exists less. 100%. Because he died. Yeah, he's okay. That's the point. Not all of them. Yeah, when you hear Stephen Avery's parents, they're dead now.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Right. But it's like, yeah, I would suspect that where they grew up. So, I mean, we have polling on this. Like, the amount of white people in 1974 who thought that they would like to live in a diverse community was like 90 points different than it is now. Yeah. Like most Americans want to live in a diverse community. That's a huge sea change.
Starting point is 01:03:25 These are facts. Yeah, I actually have a question for you because I'm kind of missed by this and I cover a lot on my show. The self-hating white person is like observing this as a black person, right? This is something black people could never get behind, right? You're not gonna get black people to like just lash themselves
Starting point is 01:03:40 in public and you know what I mean? They're gonna be like, we look at this and we're a little, like you guys are a little weird. At least we're like saying we're amazing and you guys are awful. And if I can't help put my collar on, I'll shine. So, congratulations. I've done two editorials on this because it's such great fodder for comedy. Sorry for being white.
Starting point is 01:04:03 You could never say a black person said, I'm sorry for being white. You could never see a black person say, I'm sorry for being black. I just don't think that's a thing. I did one. I wish I could remember the exact words because I wrote it. It was this party was so funny about if it's that bad, let's have a honky tax. Let's tax Caucasianness. Right? If it's that toxic, we have to put a tax on it. And it was like, wrote a whole thing, man, it's indexed to the blah, blah, blah. It's weird. It's weird.
Starting point is 01:04:30 It's weird. It's weird. It makes me uncomfortable. I don't want to watch people hurt themselves. And also, it puts an imposition on black people. They're asking black people to forgive them or to signal that I know you're an ally. I know you wanted to go. I'm like, oh my God, please. Hey, everyone talks to ally. Yeah, I know you wanted to go. Oh my God. I hate it. Everyone talks me. Yeah, I'm like, every time they do it,
Starting point is 01:04:49 it makes me, it makes my skin crawl. It's crazy. Because I know you don't mean this course, not. And I don't know why it makes me feel like you're like watching. Black Panther was very meaningful to me. And I wanted you to know that's your experience. And I take myself, you know, for being born this way. And I see this stuff.
Starting point is 01:05:07 And I'm like, how do you, how did you get so brainwashed to sit, to apologize for something that was completely out of your control? I thought, I could never apologize. I have the same feelings about Black Panther as I do about every superhero movie. What do you think? Stupid. I mean, it's just not Mike. I have a movie.
Starting point is 01:05:24 But I mean, I feel the same about... You're not a lot, yeah. Spider-Man, you know? But, no, but, you know, that cringy, like I have to get you to forgive me for my toxicness that like, I didn't do it. I like it. The white privilege post made me super uncomfortable.
Starting point is 01:05:43 And just, I'm like, I don't understand how media has conditioned you to hate yourself, because I could never be conditioned to hate myself. I just can never imagine apologizing for being black. Why should you? Or white? Bunker. Yeah, it's weird.
Starting point is 01:05:56 I mean, white liberals don't understand about black folks. They don't understand that it's funny. We were going to call my show Keeping It Real, but of course that would have not aged well, but at the time, and I remember the network was like, two black. Two black, two black. Two black, that name.
Starting point is 01:06:13 But what they don't understand is that, that's what, in my experience, I'll just see it this way, in my experience, what black folks love is not, I'm your ally. They love keeping it real. Yeah, keeping it real. I love it. I love it.
Starting point is 01:06:27 Absolutely. I love it. Like my entire, like my aunt, all of them, they absolutely love you. And they always say that. It's like he's just like real, you know, like he just says it. And it's like, don't, why are you patronizing us? Why are you patting us on the head?
Starting point is 01:06:40 Like we're puppies that need rescue. Right, it's demeaning. You look pathetic, you know? I don't want to see someone grovel in front. I'm going back to your reference of need rescue. It's the beginning. It's the beginning. You look pathetic. Right. You know, I don't want to see someone grovel in front of, I'm, again, going back to your reference of like the five year old kid and everyone's like, it's just weird. It's just everything.
Starting point is 01:06:52 All of the things about this makes me uncomfortable. So please stop doing it. Right. Like, we all know this is meaningless. So let's stop pretending this is like real feelings that you have and not like. You know, I ask all my black friends, and black girlfriends that I've had,
Starting point is 01:07:08 you know, and very often like then, the ex-girlfriends, but we're so close, you know? I mean, I make friends first. Yeah. It has to be based on, okay, so I ask them these questions. I'm like, I get it that when people say, how could you know your white? Well, I'm also sentient. Okay. So maybe I can't know as good as you, but I can see the shit.
Starting point is 01:07:31 I can see the commercials are different. Yeah. I mean, they try so hard now. And also when I'm on the road, it's always, I'm like, I'm consciously aware, like, when I'm in the diner in Charlotte, North Carolina, I'm like, I'm looking, I'm going to see the, because, North Carolina. Like, I'm looking, I wanna see the, because I see black folks, white folks that's the south, some are working there, they're working with each other, some are customers.
Starting point is 01:07:52 I just don't see anyone scowling. No. Or like, I just don't, like, this is my eyes. Maybe I'm missing it, maybe they're all fantastic Academy Award-winning actors. Right, right. Who are pretending that they're just living their best lives, but it looks like everyone is getting along great.
Starting point is 01:08:07 Okay, pretty okay, and that's exactly my opinion. And no one is like looking at black folks like, what are you doing here? Like open the door and everyone just gets quiet and bruises. You know, that's how they, that's how the last five years have been trying to convince us that the America we live in.
Starting point is 01:08:23 I'm like, that's just not the America we live in, I'm sorry. Unless they're playing a prank on me. We're, everyone is so on the page. Driving me crazy. And it's so hard. It's toxic. It's a toxic media narrative. It's so hard.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Race and circumstances that it's not just something shitty happened. No one got called in anywhere. It's like, there happened to be a black person, any white person in a situation, and they racialized it. Like, this happened because of, and I'm like, dude, I've never been cut off by a person of a different color.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Like the chair, dude. Chair, dude. There was a thing on the dock. Oh yeah, there was not one racial element of it. Well, we don't know. We don't know, but it was, okay, here's what happened if people don't know. A guy was, somebody was docking,
Starting point is 01:09:02 and there was a guy on the dock, and for some reason they had a disagreement about whose life was gonna be worse affected by the boat docking. So the guy like jumps off the boat, I guess, white guy. The white guy hits the black guy. Hits the black guy. Which, you could just be a normal bar fight.
Starting point is 01:09:17 But like, you think no to white guys ever had a fight on a dock? Yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying. It's like, what component of the boat you go? And it could be. It could be, I'm going to punch that black guy who's stopping from that. That could be, and it just could be. It also could not be. It could also could not be.
Starting point is 01:09:33 No evidence for it. No, once the fight started, of course, all the black people came running and swimming for me. This isn't guy who's amazing. He does deserve some sperm and a word. He jumped in the fight. He's like, who said black people can't swim? Jump in the water, get's over there, get's on there.
Starting point is 01:09:47 And it turns into this. And of course, the infiltration everybody is, like I'm looking online, they're making this black versus white. I'm like, have we ever been to a bar and just seen people fight? To whether it's two white guys, two black guys. And for some reason now, it's like black people
Starting point is 01:09:59 and I cannot have any sort of bad falling out of anything about it being like, it's because of race. And it's like no, because we're humans and humans have controversy and humans fight and you don't need to pull a race narrative out of this. You can just be like, these were two idiots. No, two, you know what I mean? This drunk idiot, this guy, this guy swam in the water. These are just human beings.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Right. Everybody is a human being. No, no, once it was a black eye and a white eye fighting, it did become racial. But that just more shows how where we've gone in this kind. Yeah, I know. That it had to be. Now maybe that always would have happened.
Starting point is 01:10:33 I can see that. Look, we have a long way to go. But I think we didn't have this long way to go. Now it seems like we do have a long way to go. But something's cracking. I think just even us having the conversation and talking about how we miss when people used to be able to make fun of each other.
Starting point is 01:10:46 It's the best stand-ups of all time. I'm talking about 90 stands up. Chris Rock, Bigger and Blacker. There's just so many that I just loved growing up and they just went there. Speaking of fights and jokes that you can't do anymore. The Wayne's brothers. They're so offensive. So funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Like, don't be a manist. I call them like, how funny is that, Movy? I haven't seen that one. Oh, you have. Don't be a manist. And for such a treat. No, I have never seen it. Okay, so like they put out a book called, again, I'm going to, I certainly, I couldn't even
Starting point is 01:11:24 think about doing, but they, I don't know if you even could do it today as a book called, again, I certainly couldn't even think about doing, but I don't know if you could even do it today as a black person, 150 ways to know your ghetto. Okay. Okay, right away this is like something. You could never do it now. You could never do it now. And that's hilarious. And it's hilarious.
Starting point is 01:11:37 And one of them was, you join fights that don't involve you. That's objectively hilarious. I don't know. I don't know. You Yeah. That's objectively hilarious and true. I think we're just going on. Everyone, everyone of these things where you know your ghetto also applies to Rednex. Yeah. I have this theory that Rednex and people in the hood are the same people. Now that I lived in the same people. They are the same people.
Starting point is 01:11:59 There's like a beautiful marriage just waiting to happen. I'm like, guys, what's so funny is the media has to make you think that you're so different. You're exactly the same. Exactly, the same. Except, right next might be a little more ghetto, I've learned actually. A little bit. A little bit more ghetto, but I'm telling you, that's a whole thing that I've realized now living this off.
Starting point is 01:12:14 I'm like, a musician once told me this, that it was either a rapper or, I think, I think it was a rapper who said, you know, the country stars. Like a lot of their whole world is so like exactly like ours. Like, you know, your cousin is your torment. It's like that. And I think it's true. It's 100% true. And I say it all the time now that I live in Tennessee.
Starting point is 01:12:38 I'm like, red necks and people in the hood are the exact same people. And the media has them trimmed up thinking that their polar opposites and they're exactly the same. Listen to this one. So, you know Rudy Joe Barris? No. He's a basketball player, a very good one. You may have seen him on the news when he did something
Starting point is 01:12:56 very unfortunate. Did he, was one of Punch Britney Spears? No. No, when COVID first hit, like he had it, I think, and he was mocking it. We weren't like that afraid of it yet. And he pretended to put it on all the mics of the people who were interviewing him. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:13:12 I mean, right. I mean, you could lose everything for that. Right. He's a sweet guy anyway. I guess he's French, black. So he played in Utah for years for the jazz. He just got traded. And there was a New York Times article.
Starting point is 01:13:25 And the headline was something like, you know, interview, it's a root interview. Rudy Joe Bear on, you know, the playoffs and, you know, the NBA and racism in Utah. And I thought, okay, here it comes. Because Utah, very white, of course. And they get to the question, Rudy, what about the root racism in Utah? And Rudy goes, oh no, everybody was awesome there. Everyone was always great to me and my family. And you could almost feel the New York Times reporter
Starting point is 01:13:51 being disappointed. Yeah. What, you didn't find racism? That's terrible. I mean, great. Wonderful. Are you sure? I mean, great.
Starting point is 01:13:58 That's great. You know, that's the kind of shit that makes me see red. Because it's just, phone just don't be a phony As long as you're honest with me I'm always with you and the second you try to bullshit me or you have this narrative before you've answer oh The vanity fair article on you. Yeah, well first of all congratulations for getting into vanity But that's not an easy thing to do. Thank you. You know, I remember they did me in 1997. Did they?
Starting point is 01:14:28 Were they nice to you? They were never nice to me. I mean, they were, they were not, I don't think they were terrible. No, I think that it was fine. And I, Graydon Carter is a friend and I think it was fine. I don't remember, but in general,
Starting point is 01:14:41 the print media have always been assholes. I have a theory, but I'm not going to share it. But the vanity fair piece, I thought, was everything that makes me hate that kind of lefty. First of all, they, it was so condescending the way they, it was kind of like what we were talking about before. They kind of was, we're like presenting you with someone who must be faking it just for
Starting point is 01:15:08 publicity. So, yeah. Because who could ever believe, well, people think differently than you, Jesus fucking Christ, maybe they just think differently, you know, but that they, that like, it just, they'd expose themselves, Like never entered their mind. Maybe she could be right about some things. Right. You know, I mean. Like maybe she authentically actually believes
Starting point is 01:15:30 that she actually asked questions. She actually asked questions. She gave her that much credit. Yeah, and I just thought to myself, if I was gonna fake it, the easier thing would have been to be faking a BLM crazy liberal. I would have crushed it.
Starting point is 01:15:41 I would have had, do you know which money? Right. I would have made, if I leaned into a liberal, like this, they would have had me on every media. I would have been out of the cover. I would have been times most influential. Yes. You could be hosting the, I'm not really new.
Starting point is 01:15:55 So how much money would I be making right now if I had just gone left? That's why I was so challenged. I really was about money. No, I'm a very new. This is the route I would have gone. I would say it is not easy being a black conservator. It's horrible. It's horrible. It is not easy being a black conservator.
Starting point is 01:16:05 It's horrible. It's horrible. Because they're constantly telling you that it can't be real. Okay, so even my marriage is a sham. I even married someone who's conservative. And so like when they do polling, the majority of black people are not liberal. They're moderate and more conservative than white.
Starting point is 01:16:22 On certain issues especially, like LGBTQ stuff. Black people are far right. Well far right, yeah. Have been for a very long time. Yes. So you like the trans stuff is not selling in the black community of that nature. Black men are definitely leaning much more conservative
Starting point is 01:16:35 these days, which makes sense because of the way they were going back to me saying, like, I was raised conservatively actually. And then kind of something happens in public school where you kind of learn that you kind of have to be a liberal, and then I was liberal. I would describe myself as a liberal. I wasn't voting Democrat or anything, but I was very liberal in college, very like everything feminism, we need feminism.
Starting point is 01:16:54 The leaders are we talking about? I graduated high school in 2007, so 2007 to 2011. So the beginning of Obama, you were a liberal. I cried when Obama won. Well, but associate, associate, associate, associate it. Yeah, exactly. So it's interesting.
Starting point is 01:17:08 And so then people use that against me. And we're like, that shows that you're doing, and when they say they're doing this for the money, I'm like, you're an f-ing idiot. I was doing this for the money. I would be, I would be the best BLM activist there ever was.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Yes, you do this about Obama. So I read Andrew Sullivan wrote a piece recently, where he said, who I love, by the way. Do you read Andrew Sullivan? No. He said, really? I don't read Andrew Sullivan. Why? He's so great.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Do you want me to start? You'd love him. You'd love it. You would love it. And he's such a brilliant writer. It's such a pleasure to read his prose. Anyway, he was like, I think it was called, where is that Obama?
Starting point is 01:17:47 And he was talking about how like Tim Scott running as a Republican in 2023, sounds more like Obama when he was running. Then Obama sounds like Obama today. It's incredible to look back at the things that he said when they tried to race bait him. He ran an incredible campaign that based on unity. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:18:07 And then he just went the other way and was telling us America was racist. Without disowning his black side at all. But also like just being common-sensical and realistic and not pandering to the side that says race is everything. Then he changed. Race is our original sin and it will always be an important issue in America and it will always need redressing. But it's not like, first of all, we haven't attempted a lot of redressing. You know, I mean-
Starting point is 01:18:37 We're fracturing people now. Now what if we need to stop talking about it? I agree with Morgan Freeman and he's like, do you want to get over racism? Stop talking about it. Stop talking and making everything about it. I agree with Morgan Freeman and he's like, do you want to get over racism? Stop talking about it. Stop talking and making everything about race. No, and there are a lot of conservative black voices. They really are. Danza Washington is really conservative. Yes, and John McWater. I wouldn't even call
Starting point is 01:18:56 it conservative always. I mean, you are, but I don't think John McWater is. But the things you say about race, the same things he says about race. And I would count him like me, an old school liberal, we're like the same age. That's our... That's why my dad loves you, you know what I mean? Because I think it's the old school liberals. We can sit down, the conservatives, we can parse, we can talk about all different topics.
Starting point is 01:19:18 And in the New York Times, they let John McWhorater write. He is no a New York Times columnist, but it never really gets to that stuff. You know, it's a lot about language. And I love John. I'll read him, I'll read him, I'm doing writing about anything, but it's a lot about stuff that kind of skirts what I know is in his book, the religion of anti-racism, calling it a religion. Wow. And going after all this stuff, the same stuff you go after. This is stuff that doesn't make sense. Not denying racism still exists.
Starting point is 01:19:54 But and- It's always an existence. What's always an existence. In the New York Times, you just are not allowed to, I mean, that's why Barry Weiss left. Yeah, and she did the right thing. She did, and it's really great. Yeah, it's so great. And I love what she's doing now.
Starting point is 01:20:07 He was great. She's killing it. And there is a thirst, as she thought there was, for people who want to see stuff that is not catering to either side. Yeah. And that's what I was saying to you. I think even for me, there's just been this general fatigue that has set in, and I'm focused much more on cultural issues. Because of the baby? Well, I think part of it, yeah. I think becoming a mom definitely,
Starting point is 01:20:28 I definitely made me hone in on certain topics a lot more. And I don't care who's saying the thing that I think is right. Like on my show, I share our, you know, our of K Junior. He says stuff that I think. He's really sad right there. Yeah. And I would love to have him on my show. And people are so offended.
Starting point is 01:20:44 But people like that show. He will do your show. people are so offended. But he would do your job. So tribal. I tried to get him. I don't the reason why he wouldn't do it was because there was some like YouTube stuff going on at the time. I think he would come on my show. I will. We talk a lot about that.
Starting point is 01:20:54 I will put in a good word. Yeah, we talk a lot about that. He's the reason why I chose not to vaccinate my children, which is funny because he's super left. And obviously I would never vote for our of K-Duner, but I want to clap for him because it doesn't really be so tribal, but just because you wouldn never vote for our occasion here but I want to clap for him because it doesn't it shouldn't really be so tribal but just because you wouldn't vote for someone based on this policy or what they
Starting point is 01:21:09 believe in that you won't listen to them about things that are really rational that could actually bring you bring us all a little closer and I think what he has done in terms of the sacrifices he has made in his life to make parents more aware of the encroaching medical system he completely woke my eyes up to it. And he is fascinating. No, when he sat here, that is the theme
Starting point is 01:21:30 that I was trying to encourage him to use in his campaign, that his ideas about COVID and vaccines, not that I agree with everything, I don't think they put chips in the vaccine. I don't think that either, because he doesn't think that either. I think he did say that at the beginning. Okay, I didn't hear that. I don't believe in that. I don't believe in chips. I don't think they put chips in the vaccine. I don't think that either, because he doesn't think that either. I think he did say that at the beginning. Okay, I didn't hear that.
Starting point is 01:21:46 I don't believe in that. I don't believe in chips. I don't believe in chips. I think we've established tonight. We've all got our own, we all got our own things. He responded to my tweet and said that. He would have said chips in the vaccines, and I would have been like,
Starting point is 01:21:58 that's an interesting one. Chips on the moon. Yeah. Anyway. So, okay. What are we talking about? Yeah. How you had him on the show and you felt that you wanted to hear. So, I wanted his, for him to make a theme of his campaign, connecting his past work as someone who was always exposing corporate America and health problems, that everyone was applauding because
Starting point is 01:22:25 it's environmental stuff. It's the river. We want to save the... Yes, I agree. We should have applaud that the thing with vaccine and stuff is a continuation of that, not a departure. It's not like, oh, he went nuts. No, this guy was always concerned about what keeps us healthy, what robs us of our health,
Starting point is 01:22:44 and a lot of it is environmental. He's not wrong. He's very right. About that connection. I don't go with him everywhere he goes. I feel like he needs to vet certain things a little more thoroughly. But you know what? Generally, if I had to choose his page or the conventional FDC, you know, Western medicine page, I'd go with him. I go with him entirely. He shaped a lot of my opinions on that. And I think it's sad that when I talk about that, like if I talk about my platform, people
Starting point is 01:23:17 have so pigeon-pulled me as a Trump supporter. I mean, it's crazy. I had a vacant. I got attacked by a group of conservatives. And I say that I'd love to speak to RFK, he was a big part of my breathing of me being aware of what I was putting into my children's body. People have become so tribal that depending on who says it, like if someone says, watch out, you're going to get hit by a bus, they'll be like, I'm not listening to that because
Starting point is 01:23:38 RFK Jr. said it. And I don't want to be that person. I want to watch out and not get hit by the bus. So I'm hoping that there has, that people are starting to be that person. I want to watch out and not get hit by the bus. So I'm hoping that there has that people are starting to understand that. And that's why I said I've gotten less into politics and more into culture because the more you get into politics, you realize that people are tribal to a point of security, to a point of stupidity. But you can't separate politics is culture, advice, research. I've been doing it. People are like, why aren't you, you know, saying that you're
Starting point is 01:24:03 supporting this camera? Because you know what? I'm telling you what what I find it about you can't it. Yeah, I don't do that You know the vague is in a stream because of this you should listen to him here is like you know I had a Trump supporter debate the vague and the vague performed really well You know because he looks like a person that would perform really well and I'm a debate, you know and and bringing that sort of a Conversation people in general. I think it's good. And I think our case is super interesting. And I mean, I get called names all the time. I piss off people.
Starting point is 01:24:30 I disagree with a lot of people on certain issues. I think sometimes the right gets to conspiratorial, which is ironic given how we started this. But I did a whole my whole segment last week on talking about when all you see is George Soros and the World Economic Forum, on every person that's new. You may have had your brain rotted. You know what I mean? Not every single person can be controlled by George Soros, right?
Starting point is 01:24:51 And there are the six degrees of separation. I can probably attach each and every one of you to George Soros, right? Because they were angry that Vivek took a college scholarship. And I'm like, I applied for, I probably applied for George Soros scholarships, because I was poor. And I had no money. And I applied for literally every scholarship that my guidance project counselor brought to me.
Starting point is 01:25:07 If you see a conspiracy and people taking money out for college when it costs $150,000, you have to go to school. Like, you know what I mean? Your brain has just been rotted, and you're probably not good to be in the political realm. And so I kind of did that episode talking about, you know, because I literally had a photo of me where I was sitting like this,
Starting point is 01:25:24 and I said I was in the Illuminati. This is like, what are you doing? You ever see me tell a day of nights? I don't know, I don't know where I put my hands sometimes. I don't know where our hands have been throughout this. They'll find a still. It should take that as a compliment. I'm like, what you guys are all pacing me off
Starting point is 01:25:35 enough that the Illuminati calls on dollar, you know? I'm sure I've kept you longer than I should have, but you got me going. That was fun. That was so fun. I love to laugh. Me too. I should have, but you got me going. That was fun. I love to laugh. Me too. And that's why it's sad that people are trying to think, even after all these years of making
Starting point is 01:25:52 a living doing it, I was just thinking for the first time the other day, like, why is laughter? Like, why do we love it and crave it so much? Whatever it is, it must literally tickle something in it. It brings you together. But I love to laugh like that. It's therapeutic, like a real muscle laugh. I totally agree.
Starting point is 01:26:10 Thank you. The lockers said the third of what I'm sure will be. Permanently pregnant married Catholic man. Just the beginning. Well, clad. It's a little harder to get up out of seats, but I'm not pretty good. I know. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:26:27 That was too fun.
