Let's start the show What's up everybody hope everyone's doing good welcome to a brand new episode of part of the problem I am Dave Smith and I am joined by my brother, Chris Vega.
Starting point is 00:00:48 How are you, sir? What's going on, Dave? Thanks for having me on the show, man. Of course. People are already tweeting, are you gonna have Sam Harris on? No, I am not Sam Harris. I am way more fun to have a beer with.
Starting point is 00:00:59 I shut up sometimes. Jesus Christ. Well, we'll see. Still waiting on that response from Sam Harris. We'll see. Well, I'm sure he'll take me up on my offer any minute now. Yeah. What a weird one. What a weird one. Sam Harris says it's also just kind of bizarre. Like is so many things in my life are it's like just surreal that it's like, you're like Sam Harris coming at me.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Like the guy that I watched when I was 20, you know what I mean? Remember when he used to get everything wrong. I was watching. Yeah, I watched a lot of him I watched Ben Affleck look like an idiot in front of him in Bill Maher Big moments dude and you and but and of course there was such a good there was such a good counter argument to that That oh god I hated that it had to be Ben Affleck. Like he, it had to be the worst like Hollywood liberal, the worst Batman. Yes. The guy who could ruin a Batman movie.
Starting point is 00:01:55 That guy who, by the way, I'm not, I'm really not a conspiracy theorist, but I do not believe wrote Good Will Hunting. Just saying. How about them apples, Ben? Yeah. Well, it just doesn't, I don't believe that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote this masterpiece and then just made crap.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Like as kids, they just stumbled into this great movie and then just made shit for the rest of their careers. So I don't buy it. But he's just like, of all the people to be countering sam harris you get like a famous hollywood actor going You're racist And you're like that's that's the counter that you have whereas like there would have been I remember I did an episode on it at the time But I just didn't have an audience at the time, but I had a podcast
Starting point is 00:02:42 um, but it was like, no, the counter is like, he went on this whole thing where he was like, well, Muslims just want to kill everyone. And okay, sure. There's like a billion and a half of them and only like tens of thousands are actual jihadists. But then there's all these people who are sympathetic to the jihadists. And then there's all these people who want to live under Sharia law. And you'd just be like, yeah, okay, now let's do us. Yeah, there's, you know, there's 300 million Americans. There's only like really a few
Starting point is 00:03:09 hundred neo cons. They wake up every single morning thinking about killing innocent Muslims. But then there's a bunch of people who will vote for the neo cons or who will support them or who, you know, whatever. Even the ones who say they're not neo cons will staff their administration full of them. Like, I don't know, it's just like, this is, it's always, they always have to look at one side and not the other. And that's basically the game. Well, I mean, that's just kind of what everybody does. That's the, that's the day that this day you go like this. And then I remember when my main issue with
Starting point is 00:03:41 Obama, when he was running for president in 2008 was that do you remember this like went away immediately? He was kind of running on conscription but not for the military for like service. Yeah, and I was that out Yeah, and people were talking about it. No, it was like a big part of his platform. No, I remember. Yeah Yeah, no, I remember it was before he got elected but it was in his day where he was like what if we you know restored national Participation by saying two years after high school, you have to go do something for kind of military after eight years of Neo con Bush and Cheney shit. I was like, you really want, even if you like this guy, you really want to trust the next guy with whatever this indoctrination machine
Starting point is 00:04:20 is like, it's a, it's a crazy thing. Yeah, it was and and particularly I remember thinking and you know because I guess I was naive or whatever because hindsight 2020 but you know through the Bush years of course is we're old enough to remember there was like a real antiwar movement on the left and there was a lot of like skepticism of like the Patriot Act and things like that and I remember you know during the Obama like skepticism of like the Patriot Act and things like that. And I remember, you know, during the Obama eight years, it was like the anti war left disappeared.
Starting point is 00:04:49 But I remember when Trump first started looking like he was going to win the primary being like, Oh, well, maybe the best part of Donald Trump winning will be that the left might have to revisit some of these things and go like, Oh, remember how Obama signed into law the right to detain us citizens without charges? Well, we were okay with that under Obama. But now that Donald Trump has these powers, we should try to roll. But none of it, of course, none of it happened. There's like a mix of like woke ism. And then CNN told them, Oh, he's a Russian spy. And then any,
Starting point is 00:05:22 any idea of having a critical thought just like went out the window. It's on both sides though. Cause I remember I met, I saw some, uh, some right wingers. Uh, I know some right when, uh, by like far right people, like who, like, uh, when Biden got elected, they were like, I think we're all just going to end up in FEMA camps. I'm like, isn't it? And I literally went, isn't it just like government contracting? It always takes way longer than you think. And they're like, what are you talking about? We're supposed to be a FEMA camps under Obama and under Bush. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:05:52 Yeah, it's always right. It's always like so ready and then of course, you know all the People who like predicted FEMA camps for years We kind of go back and look at their good predictions. And like, they never really get scrutinized for that one, but you're like, yeah, I mean, you got that one pretty wrong. I listen by the way, maybe we all end up in FEMA camps tomorrow. I'm just saying like, at least as of now, that's a pretty serious prediction to make that doesn't come true. I think so.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I'd say so. The frogs are gay, but we're not in FEMA camps. Alright, you got one Al. No, they're trans. Okay. I'll give you 50%. Either way, I sucked off a frog and he liked it. I don't know. He was something. He was wearing lipstick. He never told me what he identified as. She identified as. My apologies. I mean a dead name frogs on this show. That's not what we're about. Oh, by the way, I should mention, of course, Chris,
Starting point is 00:06:46 you have a brand new comedy special that you just put out, tell people about that. It's called Burn After Saying. I actually filmed it in the heart of Libertarian country, New Hampshire at the Shell, which is Libertarian clubhouse down there. Great audience. And here's what's, it's super fun playing with audiences
Starting point is 00:07:03 from place to place. Cause when I go on the road with you and Rob, I had some jokes that I could do very easily that slammed with your audiences. And then I had to come back to Brooklyn and be like, how could I rework this? And then they did, you just have to change things and add tags.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And now then it was because your audience knows me, I'd go back on the road sometimes and they'd be like, Chris, you're playing dumb. So now we're now we're mad at you, but now I can get it. So then I had to rework it again. And then there was like a joke in there and people see certain things you can't joke around in both sides of this. One of the biggest pops I got in there is a joke where I claim to be where I'm
Starting point is 00:07:35 like, I am pro abortion and it's the biggest, one of the biggest pops in the whole half hour and they were all on board and this is an entire pro life crowd and they're all on board with it. And it was, it was great. Yeah, that's that's awesome. It's a very interesting thing when you do stand-up comedy. One of the things you you realize is that like there are these There that you could have like essentially the same joke And and it's like not working It's okay, and then you just find a little way to tweak it
Starting point is 00:08:02 So a different word in there and then it's like murdering and you're just like, Oh, so that's all it took to give you people permission. It's almost like, Oh, so now because I just tweaked this, now you have permission to laugh at the exact same idea, the exact same question. It can be an inflection. And it's just like, Oh, that's weird. It's like, well, it's like I found a joke that made, you know, that joke about my brother being mentally handicapped that I tell I don't tell as much as I used to but so I found the tag that made that whole joke work sweating bullets bombing my ass off at an audition for like stand up New
Starting point is 00:08:37 York. And I just was like, look, I told my brother joke he laughs at everything. And that made everybody who is not bored on board with this joke about my brother being madly handicapped laugh. And I was like, Oh, you guys are okay with that. That part that I like, okay, all right. Yeah, it's very, it's very bizarre. It's an interesting like window into social psychology or something like that where you're like, Oh, okay, I get it.
Starting point is 00:08:59 So that is like, there's a dance where you have to be allowed to, to find this funny. There's something very interesting about that. Well, all the Bushwick rooms and which is funny because I always joke about it because I'm from here and these gentrifiers look at me like I'm a Jersey transplant constantly. And in when I do these hipstery woke rooms, I have to do three minutes of clarification material that I understand that I look like a white guy bully every single big time and it gets tiring but like I'm just like I just I want to work on this next joke so here's this joke I wrote five years ago that only works in your
Starting point is 00:09:35 shitty rooms yeah I remember seeing like Shane had a lot of that where it was almost like just who he is isn't who the Brooklyn kids want to laugh at. And so he'd have to have something kind of addressing that and then kind of like, Oh, okay. All right. He gets it. And he's funny. And then, but it is particularly funny in your case because you know, as, as somebody who's 41 who's from Brooklyn, yeah, it really like, no, you are Brooklyn. Yeah. You're the, the, yeah. Like these kids are the college kids and you're the townie
Starting point is 00:10:07 That's right. It's like like we don't want to hear that shit in our Brooklyn and you're like, this is what it was built Off of this is it. Do you guys not know it is you know, it's weird to me Because we're you know right around the same age and come from the same place. It's a It's weird to me that when you just say the word Brooklyn now, like if you're just like, I'm from Brooklyn, what that conjures up in people's minds is like just light years away from what we would have imagined you would think. Like, I'd be like, look, there might be different things you
Starting point is 00:10:39 could think like you might be thinking like, like Biggie Smalls, or you might be thinking like some Guido and a wife beater, but you're like, Hey, dude, take that over there. You know, but it was all that. It was all that. And now it's like, Oh, if I just say Brooklyn, you're thinking a hipster in skinny jeans with like a goofy hat pointed off to the side. It was like offended by a microaggression. Like that's what Brooklyn conjures up now. What a weird world. I was really hoping COVID would thin their herds,
Starting point is 00:11:07 but it turns out they were lying about all those preexisting conditions. They didn't actually have immunode diseases or whatever. Yeah, they just look, they just look sickly from eating ramen. Turns out you were just a healthy strapping young man in a dress. Yeah. You had no problems with you whatsoever. Uh, dude, I remember darn COVID like at the height of it, that would people would be like, they'd be like, ah, old New York is back because like New York got dangerous again for a little
Starting point is 00:11:33 while. Like I know, look, you had a baby. It was a different situation, dude, Dave, I was out. Like I would, once they had tests, I had a few people die in my life, not of COVID. And I looked at my chick and I was like, you know, I'm going outside now, right? Like, you know, it's like, I'm getting, cause she was like, we can like leave and go stay with my family. I was like, first of all, I'm from New York and my brother's here. I ain't going nowhere that you can leave. And like,
Starting point is 00:12:00 I just got real street real quick. And then like all of a sudden, they're having boxing matches in Washington square park and shit. I was like this is fire. All right, that part is pretty cool Yeah, but whatever when everyone would just say oh old New York is back. I'd be like, I don't know I see a bunch of children scared of the cold Doesn't this doesn't seem like old New York to me I mean, I understand the homeless people are more agitated than ever before but like you see a guy empty a colostomy peg In the middle of Union Square. Well, that is kind of old New York. I guess Yeah, that is for better for worse. That's where we are. Well speaking of a empty and colostomy bags
Starting point is 00:12:36 There is somebody drain the swamp. Well almost But this was I don't know why I just just so beautiful and kind of an amazing moment in American history. But Donald Trump was at the White House today. He might still be there. And he sat down with believe it or not, a man who claims to be president of the United States of America. And here's their interaction. Let's play that Natalie Thank you very much and politics is tough and it's Many cases not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today and I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth. It'll be as smooth as it can get. And I very much appreciate
Starting point is 00:13:31 that you you are. Thank you all. All right, there it is Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Listen, you say what you will about that clip, but you got to be impressed with Biden's stamina. He was awake for the whole thing. Donnie, I got gin. Is I don't even know what to say about this moment, but one of the things that I find so beautiful about it is that it's just, it's so revealing how fake the whole thing is.
Starting point is 00:14:08 You know, like it's just so incredibly fake. I mean, here was this guy who up until he got cooed a couple months ago was essentially making the argument that the democracy is over if this guy wins. That this guy, I mean, he may himself have not called him Adolf Hitler, but certainly a lot of people around him did. And he said this was the end of democracy. But now, because the election's over, he's gonna work as hard as he can to make it a smooth transition. Well, why would you do that?
Starting point is 00:14:39 Why would you make it a smooth transition if democracy's over? Yeah, exactly. Well, it's also, because it's never made, I had an argument with a guy we grew up with like two days ago. And I literally finally just had to say, dude, you can yell Hitler all you want. I it's not making me believe he's Hitler. Like there's so many other things that you can say.
Starting point is 00:14:58 And then like now we're arguing, cause I started arguing about all the checks and balances that would go on the difference between Germany and like, it's like, okay, do we have the biggest military in the world or are we rebuilding a military from scratch? Because we're not allowed to have one because that's a huge difference Like that's a huge difference like it's really hard to top-down take over something like that without one of those guys smiling like Hey, how about one of us shoot this guy in the head? Yeah. Oh look that I know people by the way I know people on right wingers too, who love to make this comparison. Someone asked me the other day at an event that I was at, they
Starting point is 00:15:30 asked me, they're a big fan, and they asked me, they were like, what do you think of the comparison to current day United States of America and the Weimar Republic? And I was like, well, I mean, I'm not saying there are no comparisons, but there's some pretty obvious differences that jump out at you. Like America is despite whatever problems we have, the world empire. Like we run this shit. We are not the biggest losers of the biggest war that ever happened who are internationally humiliated and stripped of our sovereignty,
Starting point is 00:16:07 and as you pointed out, your military. Now, is it, like, it is true that they had, like, the, um, uh, what's it called, um, I'm blanking on the freaking name, but they had, like, the cultural Marxists, and they had, like, some of these, like, um, like, kind of neo-communists who were pushing like transgenderism and some of the woke stuff But you also have to mix that with hyper inflation and being internationally humiliated and like none of those Characteristics are anywhere remotely close to 2024 USA. So it's just
Starting point is 00:16:42 Okay, I mean I guess you could talk about some aspects of things here or there. The Frankfurt School, by the way, I don't know why I was blanking on them. But like, it's just like the thing that jumps out at you quickly is like that. It's like, no, this is nowhere near the same situation. And, you know, it's like when they say, you know, January 6th was an insurrection and you're just kind of like, okay, but like, take me through this. Well, the nebulous definition of insurrection is an organized attack on a government institution, right? It's just something very simple like that. It's essentially a riot that happens on government property is an insurrection. Right, right. But it's not a coup. At the end of a coup, Would you attempt to murder? Right.
Starting point is 00:17:26 At the end of the attempt, that person should have been murdered if you were successful. There was no way. And I know this has been litigated over and over again. But I literally have to have this argument with people when they use the word coup for that.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And I go, OK, let's say they killed every single senator and Mike Pence. Would Donald Trump be the president? And they're like, no. And I'm like, then it's not a coup attempt. That's what not what a coup attempt. Right. Right. I mean, like, look, it's, it's an insurrection. If you're playing a bullshit semantics game. So like if you, if you, like I was, this is one of the things I was arguing with, uh,
Starting point is 00:18:01 your boy James Lindsay, uh, about. That is technically my boy. I was the first one to ever interview him on a podcast. I let the G out of the bottle. You sure did. No, but he was doing this thing where basically the, the arguments started because when I was on Tucker Carlson show last time or the time before, one of the times I was on Tucker Carlson, I just was saying how stupid it is to call Kamala Harris a communist and how it's just like, I don't know. I was like, the attack doesn't land. It is a Ugandan giant though, Dave. That I was, I would never for a second
Starting point is 00:18:35 argue with anyone on that. And that attack lands. You call her that and all of a sudden I'm in and then we just got to find the undertaker because you know, she's definitely afraid. Terrible. But I was just like, look, firstaker because you know, she's deathly afraid But I was just like look first off you sound like my grandpa when you call someone a communist It doesn't resonate with anyone of this time and second off like she's not she's not a Communist in any meaningful way and then like James Lindsay is kind of like he's like no, you don't understand You haven't read all my books and actually dang is that they're all a bunch of Maoists and blah blah blah all this And it's like first of all books. He's still wrong. Yeah, I read all of his books The first of all and then like his big ace in the hole
Starting point is 00:19:11 Is that like dang said something about how we're gonna infiltrate the West and like yeah, yeah But that doesn't win you the argument you have to actually demonstrate how and and no it doesn't count that you have some campus radicals in the 60s who were influenced by Marx It's like that what that doesn't mean the whole and by the way if she is a communist Like this is what I mean about the insurrection semantics game It's like okay if she is a communist then they're all communists then but like if you're if you're using sure if you want to say that DC Like that the US federal government is fascist you can make that argument if you want to say that DC, like that the US federal government is fascist, you
Starting point is 00:19:45 can make that argument. If you want to make the argument that they're communist, okay, you could make that argument. Sure, you have to be really loose with those terms, but you have to be so loose with those terms that they would describe Donald Trump now too. They would describe Barack Obama and John McCain and Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and this whole system. So again, it loses all its value as an attack. Likewise, if you want to say January 6th was an insurrection, okay. But then the Black Lives Matter
Starting point is 00:20:13 riots had like four or five insurrections and also the the protest while Trump was in office had an insurrection. And also I think the free Palestine people had in insurrection and also I think the, uh, the free Palestine people had an insurrection, uh, under Joe Biden. So either we're calling all of this insurrection, which is stupid, or we're calling just this one thing and insurrection, which is dishonest. And so they just want to talk about the one thing and then say it technically meets the definition. It's just all of it's incredibly weak. Do you want to hear a funny way to argue with people about that?
Starting point is 00:20:44 Sure. You go like this. There were 10,000 people in Washington DC on January 6th to protest the election. Right? Less than 2000 entered the Capitol building. That seems like that would be a mostly peaceful protest, doesn't it? Yep. Yep. No, that's a, that's a great way to do it. By definition of the word mostly, meaning more than 51%. And even, and it's even more than that because of those 2000 people who
Starting point is 00:21:11 entered, like only a handful of them entered violently. And like, I don't know exactly the percentages, but we have on videotape cops pulling barricades aside. We have cops guiding people around through the building. And so all of those people, at least you can't even really claim that they, I'm sorry, but it is the only reasonable that for any, for any citizen, if a cop guides you somewhere, it is reasonable for you to assume I'm legally allowed to be
Starting point is 00:21:47 here. Like, I don't know, if I'm in any situation and the cop goes, hey, this road's closed, but you can go down this street. And then I go down that street and then someone goes, you're under arrest for going down that street. That's just not right. I'm like, no, but the guy with the badge and a gun said this was the legal object. So you take all of those people out and now you've got, yeah, a handful of people who broke some windows.
Starting point is 00:22:12 This is just, and again, you know, to your broader point, which is really the most important point there is that, you know, as I always said to everyone, like, like the same thing you were saying, it's like, okay, so step one is Donald Trump saying, go peacefully protest in this area. Step 85 is Donald Trump is now installed again for a second term even though he lost the election. Help me flush this out a little bit.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah, where do we get that? Help me flush this out. Like let's say they get their hands on Mike Pence. They stop the certification of the ballots. Okay, now what's next? Because it's so quick before you just go like, you don't even, listen, you don't even make it to the National Guard.
Starting point is 00:22:53 You never even get to the National Guard. There's no conceivable pathway there. DC Metro police swarm the place and take these guys out. But let's just say you fight off DC, you fight off the Capitol police. Then you gotta deal with DC police. Then you got to deal with DC police. Then you got to deal with the National Guard. You're going to take them out.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Like the final step here is the military is deployed. You know what I'm saying? Like, take me through the scenario where Donald Trump is installed as president. We would know if there were sleeper cells around the country to continue this. That's how a coup works. Right. Right. It's all so ridiculous. All right, guys, let's take a coup works, right? Right? It's just it's all so ridiculous All right, guys

But I do think just this moment with with Biden and Trump kind of says it there. He goes, you know, politics is an ugly business, but everything's like nice today. But it's it's almost like what he's saying. And what Joe Biden is kind of conceding here is that like, yeah, we made all this shit up. I don't know. it was an election. So we thought, you know, we didn't really have anything to motivate people.
Starting point is 00:25:08 It was a debate. Yeah, yeah, it's that, it's that. It's like, oh, okay. And they've all kind of like revealed this like, and look, we all know that obviously during any election, yeah, people are gonna bullshit. They're not gonna be 100% truthful. They're gonna try to damage their opponent.
Starting point is 00:25:24 But it does really say something about like how unhinged the leadership in our country is. And I think you see this filter down to regular people that it's like, you know, like the comment you made that in the debate thing that was about calling Joe Biden a bigot. She called him a racist at their first debate and then is happy to take his VP slot and then is happy to take his endorsement for president and it's the same thing here. It's like, oh, but you'll actually like you'll actually, you know, I understand you're trying to work people up, but there is and I'm never one of the people who's like tone policing, but there certainly is something where everybody from all the halls of power are saying, democracy's over, and then this guy wins, and now you have regular people freaking out because they think democracy's over. It's truly dangerous.
Starting point is 00:26:12 For all those people you talk about, like our old friends who you argue with, or just any liberal friend of yours who you may know who you've argued with, it does, yes, they're being insane, but they get to sit there and say, like, well, I just listened to the president of the United States and the head of the Department of Homeland Security and the CIA director all tell me the same thing.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And so like, it's like they're, they're given permission in a way to be mentally ill that is not helpful. Well, it's like I said, I said this to you the other day when we were at the comedy club, though, it's like people were talking to me about why all these people joined up with Trump, your Tulsi, Elon, uh, uh, even Rogan or in a RFK. And it's like, well, let's look what the democratic machine has done to all of these people in the
Starting point is 00:26:55 last five years. Even more Tulsi got called by the most powerful Democrat in the country, a Russian asset while she was still in the military and nothing happened. And just to, to, the way, just to, and just to, to, cause I want you to continue on this, but just to go down that Tulsi, Hillary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq. Tulsi went there. Yeah. She served, she, I mean, she's not. She stitched people up in the war that you started. The war that you voted for, which you now admit was a mistake.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Yeah. She went there and she's not, I think technically she's not a combat veteran, but she was in a medical unit in Iraq during the height of the fighting. Like someone who really saw the cost of war up close and personal. You can argue more so. You can argue that somebody working in a medical unit sees the cost of war significantly more than somebody. You can make that argument.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I've never been in combat, but you can obviously make the argument. Those guys get downtime. All you're doing is stitching up the people getting blown apart. Yes. Like really a brutal, a brutal job where you're very firsthand seat for the actual consequences of this war. And so you're telling me the person who voted for this war based off lies and then you have the person who went there
Starting point is 00:28:06 and said, you know, sir, yes, sir, I will go make this sacrifice for my country. And then person eight turns around and calls that person a traitor? Yeah. Like who's the fucking traitor here? National television, national television, zero repercussions.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I believe Tulsi was still technically in the National Guard, wasn't she? Yes, yes. I mean like- She was active duty, yes. Guard, wasn't she? Yes. Yes. I mean, she was active duty. Yes. Like, this is insane to do this. And then it's like, then you got RFK. He met the metrics for Secret Service Protection.
Starting point is 00:28:33 And then they used semantics to deny it to him. His father got shot in the head running for president. I wonder why he signed up with the other side. Rogan, literally, we know all the lies on Rogan. I don't have to tell your audience what that is. But like, look at these people over and over again and you're wondering like why they have gone to this other thing. It's like because you're f**king them over. You're lucky Bernie Sanders isn't hanging out with Donald Trump. Like, no, that's right. That's right. And ultimately, because Bernie Sanders doesn't
Starting point is 00:29:01 actually have the stones to stand up to anything which has been a characteristic of his entire career. But yeah I mean it's look at that's one of the reasons why I'm just really happy even despite not liking some of these appointments. I'm so happy that Kamala Harris lost like she just needed to lose. And you think about it you as the whole corporate media is going like, I guess we need our own Joe Rogan now. Like they just figured out that he has the biggest show. It's like, yeah, he was a Bernie supporter. And then you guys tried to ruin him. You tried to like go, you, you tried to like humiliate him in nationally and he's just better at this than you. And so he jujitsu you up and made you all look terrible.
Starting point is 00:29:45 But like, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, you lost him. Hey, maybe that wasn't a wise move. Maybe you don't go, hey, you see the most influential man in the United States of America? We're gonna make an example out of him. All right, well you failed and now look what you get. It would be like if they called a Walter Cronkite yellow.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Yeah. So yeah, that's right. No, but I mean, I, I know personally, I'm not saying like I have some inside information. Anyone else does. And everybody watched it play out, but yeah, no question. Like he took that personally and that, that had an effect on him, that it was like, Oh yo, CNN is lying about me and blatantly lying. There's still a lot. So you think, all right, the lies have stopped working. But then it does. Like, this is the headline. I was just talking about the ship.
Starting point is 00:30:34 World's 10 richest people got a record. Sixty four billion dollars richer from Trump's reelection. It's not from Trump's reelection. The stock market hit an all time high as it did three months earlier when this same headline would have read the stock market market hits all-time high, why would you vote for Donald Trump? We're not stupid. Stop thinking the average American is stupid.
Starting point is 00:30:54 They didn't need you to parade out stupid Tim Walls. You should have got Josh Shapiro and you might have won Pennsylvania. The guy actually did stuff for working class people there by eliminating that college education requirement for 90% of state jobs. You put that guy up there and what were you worried? You were worried he was a Jew? That was the thing you were worried about. The party that's not racist is worried this guy's, what is it? Well I think honestly, I think it's they were worried that he would outshine her. I mean, I really do think that's what it is. I mean he's a better speaker. He's a significantly better speaker.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I think that's a big part of it and that he has ambitions and stuff like that. Um, but yeah, dude, I mean, there's it's, you know, we were talking about this in the, in the green room out in Philly the other day, but it's like, it's almost like they were just incapable of adjusting to the facts on the ground. And the, and that's particularly devastating when there's been basically a revolution in this industry. And so, it's like somebody is like in 1780,
Starting point is 00:31:59 they're just like, I have a plan to get us away from the British. And you're like, oh, you didn't hear like there's been a revolution. We're not a colony of the, of the Brits anymore. You know what I mean? Like, it's, it's like they just can't like adjust. And so you'd have this dynamic where, you know, as you, you watch, you know, all the time, I mean, I see, especially since I just did Rogan, this is always the case in the days after you do Rogan,
Starting point is 00:32:24 there'll be like these clips that are like going viral. But you'll see just like a clip that I'm not even tagged in, you know, but I just like found it like on Twitter because someone tags me on it of me with three million views on it, you know, because it was just a clip of the Rogan experience and then this went viral in some other little world. And so what happens is when you have something like, just for example, Tony Hinchcliffe doing what any American, well it's literally anybody who watches that video, it's not, this is- Or just Ben to Washington Heights, I just-
Starting point is 00:32:57 Yeah, right, or something like that. But you know immediately, this is a country that grew up on Don Rickles. You know what you're watching. There's no confusion about what's going on here, right? But then the Tony clips, and they're shared so many different times. This version has 3 million, this version has 15 million, this version has 7 million, this version only has 600,000, but then this one has another 3 million.
Starting point is 00:33:21 You know, it's like the clip is viewed so much. The numbers are so high on this side. And the numbers for the corporate media are so down here that when people in the corporate media, they haven't even adjusted for the fact that so many people who watch CNN's take on that also watch the video. And they're like looking at the video just like, oh, you're lying to me. You're saying speaker at Trump rally said Puerto Ricans are garbage.
Starting point is 00:33:49 But what I see is a roast comic, just machine guns spraying everybody. And like the Puerto Ricans got one shot, the Jews got one, the Muslims got one, his mother got one, you know, like it's, and you're just like, oh, they didn't adjust to the fact that people don't like suspect they're lying. They can watch that they're lying.
Starting point is 00:34:08 You're lying to me. You're always lying. This is not what happened. He didn't say very fine people on both sides. He didn't have a Nazi rally. Tony Hinchcliffe is a comedian. Like there's so many like that. And again, they tried to tell us Joe Biden wasn't senile.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Like, dude, this is insane. I think what the main thing, must have been this must have sunk Kamala so badly when she goes when they asked her, I think it was on the view they asked her what would you have done differently in the last four years? And she was like, you know, nothing I can think of. It's like, well, now we know you're like there's never I guarantee you, I have never met a vice president of the United States. But there is no way that every single vice president has been sitting down the hall going,
Starting point is 00:34:48 man, if I was that motherfucker, you know what I would be fucking do? That we'd be running this whole fucking, that's what everybody does to their direct boss all the time. Imagine just sitting there every day just going, nailed it again, Joe. Yeah. Perfect. Wouldn't have changed a thing. Well, it's also what was Remarkable about it was and you know part of it is that And this is ultimately why she didn't do Rogan and this is why she didn't do more interviews and things like that is that she was She was so guarded
Starting point is 00:35:19 She was always so worried that you would like figure out what she was really about and I think partially because what she was really about. And I think partially cause she's not really about anything other than getting power. But it was, look, this was the, that question really damaged her and it was in the most friendly atmosphere that was designed to get her over and was one of the most predictable questions. I mean like if me and you were sitting down here and we just worked for a campaign or something like that,
Starting point is 00:35:49 and you were like right away, I go, hey, here's the only information I'm gonna give you just to start with your campaign. Your candidate is the sitting vice president of a unpopular one term administration and he's pulled out of the running and now she's going to run for president. Right away, like I mean, within the first five minutes of us brainstorming, we'd be
Starting point is 00:36:11 like, well, we better have an answer to this question. It's as simple as this. I would have had more planes to fly people out of Afghanistan. That's it. Would have moved on. You would have had to mention the economy, which was very bad on them. You take an issue that everybody agrees, like me and you both agree we should have left Afghanistan, but that that was bad. And it's still probably for the best that we left, right? Like, I think we both agree with that.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Sure. But if you just, so you appease even the two of us who don't like you, who agree that we should be gone, but that was a mess. You just go, we should have had more people on the ground ready to transport our allies in Afghanistan out of Afghanistan so that they were not in fear of their lives by the Taliban. Very simple, one thing, everybody remembers those images. And I just, by the way, didn't have that coming in here,
Starting point is 00:37:00 just thought of that. Yeah, and it's better than what she said. I mean, like, and I'm telling you, if me and you had 20 minutes to brainstorm about this we had come up with like an excellent answer to that question. It's like it's just you know so right there's you know she essentially just deserved to lose.

All right, let's get back into the show. By the way, did you did you hear Nancy Pelosi on the New York Times podcast? No, I would love to. So I've never listened to this podcast before. Like I hate there's there's very few people I hate more viscerally than Nancy Pelosi Well, so she essentially so I had okay we had been speculating about this I think it was something when Manafort was on Tucker Carlson I thought he got it. He said something about this, but there had been Look, there was a lot of speculation about what exactly happened with Joe Biden because the timeline was so
Starting point is 00:38:43 Shady and he didn't come out and address the nation until days after that letter had been posted. It was a very strange way for a president. Syphilis in a nursing home. That's I think what happened to his brain at least. It's quite possible. But it's like it's just very bizarre. The whole thing was very bizarre that a sitting president announces he's not seeking reelection after
Starting point is 00:39:06 swearing that he was a couple weeks before the convention, he's pulling out and that that wouldn't warrant a national address to the American people that it would like that's very bizarre already. I don't get whatever excuses you give me about COVID or syphilis like Like that's very shady. Um, but so I remember, um, Mark Halperin. So on Friday, he ended up pulling out of the race on the Sunday. And on the Friday beforehand, even though Biden was saying, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:38 the George Clooney piece had already been written and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi had already met with Joe Biden and they were already freezing like hundreds of millions of dollars. The donors were pulling out because they wanted a new candidate after the debate, the disastrous debate performance. So Mark Alperin reports on Friday that his sources in the White House are telling him that Joe Biden is going to pull out this weekend. The letter is already being drafted. And that there he's going to throw it to an open primary. And they're going to have a contested, you know, convention. And so at the time when he reports this, it's the Joe Biden is still saying he's in the race up till Sunday on the Sunday morning shows, Joe Biden surrogates are going out and saying, why are we even still talking
Starting point is 00:40:27 about this? Joe Biden's in the race. He's made it clear. He's the candidate. We beat him last time. We're going to beat him again this time. A couple of hours later, this letter comes out. Now, this right away gave a lot of credibility to Mark Halperin's reporting because not only did he predict that he'd be out this weekend, but he said the letter is being drafted. He predicted the way in which he would pull out of it that it was going to be a letter. And so it was all of that. Do you think Jill Biden held his hand while he pointed out the
Starting point is 00:40:57 letters? Oh, who the hell knows? I don't believe he wrote it. I'm not even sure he was aware of any of this. I don't know if he's but so evident. So what's interesting about this, right, is that in the letter, like the only part of Mark Halpern's reporting that was wrong was that he did end up endorsing Kamala Harris. But interestingly enough, not in that letter. It wasn't in that letter. And it was like 30 minutes later, he sent a tweet or someone sent a tweet from Joe Biden's account that said, I fully endorse Kamala Harris. And what they're saying now is that this was his middle finger to all of them that he's like, oh, you're going to push me out fine.
Starting point is 00:41:41 But I I'm going to saddle you with the worst candidate who can't possibly beat Donald Trump Now the other thing that is interesting that's come out since then is that evidently? There they knew how bad this thing was gonna go But she did she beat Trump in that debate. She won the debate. He just couldn't capital He did a terrible job in the debate. He had a very, very bad night. And and, you know, it was close enough, but close is a win for her. So, like, I'd agree with you that, like, yeah, that was her night.
Starting point is 00:42:15 She was the winner of that night. But evidently, before Joe Biden dropped out, their internal polling, which is kind of interesting to see how much better their internal polling is than the polls that the rest of us have access to. But their internal polling had Donald Trump winning 400 electoral votes. Like, they knew that not only did they know so she actually did better than what their internal polling was saying. And I think that kind of makes sense.
Starting point is 00:42:46 You know, for all her flaws as a candidate, you look at Joe Biden and you're like, dude, this is you just can't run this. This isn't a functioning adult human being. But it does for like it does show you something that even in the face of that he didn't want to pull out. And so so they're blaming him. I mean, really they all deserve blame. Like Nancy Pelosi is trying to throw him under the bus, but they, they all deserve
Starting point is 00:43:12 blame because it's like you all pretended. Pelosi said, what was her exact words? As I have to go back and pull it up till her exact words. But she was basically saying that like, he should have done the right thing earlier, he should have dropped out of the race and given her more time. The problem is that you guys all should have allowed for a real primary to happen. You all shouldn't have fucking gas lit the whole country about how he was wasn't senile and he was sharp as a tack behind closed doors.
Starting point is 00:43:37 So it's like it's on all of you. It was a primary happening. Right. You had you had three candidates running in a primary against Joe Biden. You had Marianne Williamson, you had RFK. What's the guy's name? Dean? Uh, I always go to see Dean Edwards, but that's the psychic, right? Dean Edwards is a comedian. There's a comedian, but he was also the psychic from back then.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Okay. No, I know who you're talking about. Dean Phillips. That's right. That's right. So it's like you had a primary. It's like, well, you had it ready to go. You kiboshed the primary to prop up Biden. But who knows? I look, dude, I have the feeling that like this was kind of they had they were going to maybe they were to pick somebody that wasn't Kamala. Maybe his tweet did that.
Starting point is 00:44:18 But like, I think it was always the it was always the plan to not have a primary and just appoint somebody new at the convention, because that's the old way. Like primaries have only exit, national primaries only existed for less than a hundred years. Right. Right. So, so it's like, I think we're going to always do that, but I think Trump getting shot sped it up. Yeah. Well that was that, that was when Biden really had to get out. Um, because he had, um, he had had, um had there's okay.
Starting point is 00:44:46 So here's Nancy Pelosi's exact quote said, had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race. There's three. The anticipation was that if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary. It was. And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that, and been stronger going forward. But we don't know that that didn't happen. So throwing both Biden and
Starting point is 00:45:13 Kamala Harris under the bus after this loss. Just really classy move by Nancy Pelosi. I mean, rockin tits though. You know what, can't sue you for slander on that one? Yes, really is just something by the way in other news from the election fallout, and I really particularly loved this We got we we got what we were all looking for Coming out of this big election day, which was an update on the future of Don Lemon We were all very concerned about what he would do. How do we process all of this information? Where can we find Don Lemon's opinion?
Starting point is 00:45:57 Is the question I want answers to. And I finally got them from the horse's mouth. Here is Don Lemon. Hi everyone. I have loved connecting with all of you on Twitter and then on X for all of these years, but it's time for me to leave the platform. I once believed that it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose. In addition, starting this Friday, November 15th, X is implementing new terms of service, which among other things states states that, quote, all disputes be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, end quote. The full terms of service can be found on my written statement or on the Exis website.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Now, as the Washington Post recently reported on Exison's decision to change the terms, this quote ensures that such lawsuits will be heard in courthouses that are a hub for conservatives which experts say could make it easier for Exxon to shield itself from litigation and punish critics. I think that speaks for itself. You can find me on YouTube at The Don Lemon Show or on TikTok and Facebook at Don Lemon and on Instagram and Blue Sky at Don Lemon Official. I hope you will join me there. And on Grindr as Dirty Lemonade Golden Showers. We will not be joining you there, Don Lemon. We will not. I just I think this is I think it's interesting
Starting point is 00:47:28 for several reasons. Number one, like, oh, yeah, they want to what a scandal that Twitter would rather be an illegal jurisdiction where they can quote shield themselves from liability. Like yes, in other words, that where the state can't crack down on them for not censoring speech. They're also based in Texas. It would make sense that they would want to litigate their things in Texas where they live. 100%. It's also, but like you can see what's really going on here is that, yeah, like, you know, for all the people who said that Twitter isn't real life, you know, that was always like the slogans like, which it is and it isn't.
Starting point is 00:48:10 It's the least real life of the platforms. Doesn't mean it's not real life. The internet is real life now. Yeah, I mean like, well, you know what's really not real life is CNN. CNN isn't real life. And so Don Lemon now comes out into the Wild West after he gets canned from CNN, and he knows it's like he can't post anything without being ratioed and just everyone telling him how much we hate him. And so he's going to retreat back to an area where the conversation is controlled, or at least more controlled than it is here. But it is, I do think, at least as of right now, I think the most interesting thing about this moment and Trump's reelection is that
Starting point is 00:48:53 the state propaganda apparatus has been shattered. And that the fact that Donald Trump could be launched into the White House by Rogan and Theo Vaughn and Patrick Bughn and Patrick David and all these guys, there's this new landscape. And, you know, while they're asking the question over at CNN and MSNBC of like, well, how do we build our own Joe Rogan? Because that's really what they want to do.
Starting point is 00:49:17 You kind of notice that it's like, look, you get Trump to make cloning legal in this country. That's my that's the first. Yeah, I mean, that, you might need that. I mean, look, I love the examples of... So you have on one hand, you have Tucker Carlson, and then you have Don Lemon. I believe they were fired on the same day. I could be wrong about that. It was within the same week. Yeah. I think it was the same day. Go double double check me on that but so you have so dumb and then you just watch Tucker go into this world and Thrive become bigger than he ever was at Fox News
Starting point is 00:49:55 and then you watch Don Lemon go from CNN into this world and just die a thousand Don Lemon deaths and Part of the thing here, which I find so interesting is that it's like, look, however you feel about Tucker Carlson, I happen to love the guy, but whatever opinions people have about him, people have strong opinions one way or the other. Close his mouth. I know that's your friend. I know that's your friend. I will close his mouth. I'll get the message to him.
Starting point is 00:50:22 But the point is that he has something to say. Yes. Whether you agree or not, he's got something to say. I happen to think a lot of it is really great. Don Lemon has nothing to say. That's essentially the problem. Yeah, but the drug is being at CNN. Like, yes, you get what I mean? Like, it's like, oh, they were both filed April 2023. But he had an audience with the richest man in the world who just gave him a bunch of money to move to his platform. And he was so addicted to just being in that seat of power at CNN that he just was like, I'm just
Starting point is 00:50:59 going to shank this on purpose. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's just an addiction. It's an addiction. Yes. No, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. It's just an addiction. It's an addiction. Yes. No, I think that's right. The thing though, is that in this new landscape, there is, and look, this is only the first step. There's a lot more that needs to happen, but at the very least, you have to have something. You've got to have some, something somewhat unique or original, a point of
Starting point is 00:51:25 view, you know, your interview with Elon Musk, it's like, oh, you're against DEI. So you must be racist. Like, that's just not going to cut it around here. You just got to have something better than that. It's you realize, and it's it's a function, I think of monopoly, essentially, that you realize you just like the atrophy in essentially, that you realize you just like the atrophy in the service that you provide is so incredible because you've never had to work for it.
Starting point is 00:51:52 You haven't had to compete with anybody. Your ratings are artificially boosted by airport television stations and you're just there saying nothing. Just bar airports. Yeah, literally. And so it's like they're not even on at the airports anymore. No, that's too many people must have been complaining. Just put on the game, dude. I want to watch something real. Competitive tag. I don't care. Whatever's on ESPN. Let's
Starting point is 00:52:14 go. 100%. Here's the thing. You would have had a liberal Joe Rogan if you didn't call him a transphobe for disagreeing with you on the thing. He's the most an expert in. Yeah. Well, think about that too, man. The fact that first he started getting like literally Joe Rogan. I mean, you can't even make this up for people who don't remember it. Joe Rogan never w when it first started, at least he didn't come out against trans people or against anything. He said, Hey, there's a biological man, cage
Starting point is 00:52:45 fighting women, beating the shit out of women. And I'm telling you, as somebody who's like fought my entire life, this is wrong. Men shouldn't get to go beat up woman. And that's fine that they like this guy identifies as a woman now. But I'm telling you the bone structure of a man and the advantages that you have by biologically being a man to fight a woman is not right. And he also, he also didn't say she shouldn't be able to fight women. Women. She,
Starting point is 00:53:17 he just had to disclose it. Yes. He beat the shit out of this trans lady, right? Now, he now what Rogan was saying after that was then everyone was like, see, that's proof that like a woman could beat this man. And Rogan had an excellent point. We was like, no, no, no, that's proof that this this trans woman isn't even good. She's not even like a good fighter. There's what he she was only winning these fights because he's a biological man
Starting point is 00:53:48 fighting women. And again, look, there the argument is so overwhelming on this, that men shouldn't fight women. It's first of all, it is completely common sense to everyone, but then you just go like, we're all told as children. Well, look, why? I would have loved to just put one and write in your suck hole. Turns out you're not allowed to. Yeah. I got the memo a little late, but you're not supposed to, it's frowned upon. Yes. Um, but it's like, look,
Starting point is 00:54:16 why is it that let's say, why is it that men don't fight women in the UFC? Forget the trans question. Just saying, why is there a men's division and a woman's division? Okay. It's because we all recognize that there is something unfair about men fighting women. And what is that that's unfair? Is that how those men feel about themselves? Or is it biology? Like, obviously, it's biology, right? It's not that we're not keeping John Jones out of the female division because of how he identifies We're keeping him out of there because of what he is
Starting point is 00:54:49 Objectively for coke. Yeah. Well, that's Yeah, I'm not gonna believe that fights happening on Saturday until they're they touch gloves. I Refuse well, it better be happening. That's all I'll say. All right guys Let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Qualia Centalytic.

Starting point is 00:56:47 15% off your purchase and a big thank you to qualia for supporting today's episode. Let's get back into it. Um, but, uh, yeah, that's, uh, but you know what I mean? So, and so he says this and then these, what I can only describe like these, I get people, I really really I don't hate and I don't like I but there's like these mentally ill 20 somethings at Spotify who got all up in arms over Rogan about that and then the entire regime sides with them they side with them they don't go oh listen Joe Rogan here is making a very reasonable point about an area that he has legit expertise in. And he should be allowed to make this very obviously correct point. You know, like, it's not this isn't even like something like,
Starting point is 00:57:37 you know, you have a swimmer who's born a man but identifies as a woman and is breaking all of the girls swimming records. However, you might feel about that and I think there's a Reasonable argument that those girls have that it's like hey you just like this is not right But we're talking about cage fighting here You're not talking about like, you know cage fighting is a sport where in general everyone's taking their health in their risk In their they're taking their health in their you in their, they're taking their health in their, you know, hands and they, yeah, right. Right. Or other people's hands. But like to have a man fight that, like striking a woman with everything he's got is just wrong.
Starting point is 00:58:16 And so anyway, it's all just it. So yeah, there's just, there's a lot of different lessons like this, but it's just like, yeah, that's here. The prob, the reason why you can't create your own Joe Rogan is because no one could be Joe Rogan arguing for this shit. Well, it's just, if you can't have a descending opinion, you can't be an iconoclast. Right. Right. And if you're not even trying, you know,
Starting point is 00:58:41 if you're not even trying to have a thoughtful opinion, you know, when, um, the one big podcast, I guess that that Kamala Harris did was the call her daddy podcast. I watched none of it. I watched a little bit of her on Shannon Sharp and it just I was like, I can't with this. He's not a great interviewer. Kat was great on there. So I was like, maybe this will be good.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Yeah, but it just wasn't very good. I saw clips of both. But also then you realize like the numbers just didn't do good. Yeah, but it just wasn't very good. I saw clips of both. But also then you realize like the numbers just didn't do good. You know, like I call her daddy last I checked had like 700,000 views or something like that. I think it was when I checked it was like maybe a couple weeks ago. It was like 1.4 but cat was still like 80 million. Yeah, but still even think about that. Donald Trump is over 100 million with Rogan. I don't know what his numbers are. And that's when you couldn't find it on YouTube. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:26 That's without like, I, when I went to find it on YouTube the next day, or like maybe it was later that day, I had to like type the entire thing and then go down. It was not the first result. No, I mean he was, I know for a fact that the numbers between YouTube, Twitter, and Spotify were well north of a hundred million. And part of it is just because like. Donald Trump was talking, he was having a real conversation. Kamala Harris went to all of these stops and attempted to just do what she does.
Starting point is 00:59:54 The big clip that I think we played on this show and then like responded to was her it's like the caller daddy chick is like now, you know, Roe v. Wade got struck down. Madam Vice President, can you think of any laws that control a man's body? And it's like I can't. And it's like that right. I mean that's what we did on the show is just name all of the yeah all of them. Every one of them like every law. As a collective service that's the first one. Yeah well that's the pretty obvious one. Drug laws, the income tax. I mean there's like a million different things but like the what you know
Starting point is 01:00:30 So like you drink unpasteurized milk, I mean, yeah really like Jimmy There are so many freakin laws that control men and women's bodies. So first off, it's a stupid point the second off It's just the most shallow basic dumb point. The second off, it's just the most shallow, basic, dumb, talking point thing. And like, whatever you say about the podcast world compared to like the corporate media world, that's not what we're looking for over here. You need to do a little bit better than the most shallow talking point and then pretending like you've said something. Yeah. I agree.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Well, dude, listen, I do have to wrap up cause I got another, uh, show to run right too, but tell people again where they can find your, uh, your comedy special or anything else you're promoting. So I mean just the comedy specials, the main thing, you could definitely find it on YouTube. I've heard from a couple of people that you have to type the whole thing in. Um, but it's a Chris Vega burn after saying, uh, it's a half hour. Like I said, I filmed it down in New Hampshire
Starting point is 01:01:25 with all those libertarian savages. And then you can also find me at Chris from BKLYN on Twitter and Instagram, and I'll be retweeting it all week. Please go check that out. We'll put the link to it in the description for the episode so people can go right there. Great, fantastic. And get it.
