Starting point is 00:00:00 It's Friday, and this is a great Friday episode. We have Bill O'Reilly, who was in rare form talking about the debate from this week. We went through the debate stuff as well in all of the audio. And then we brought in Nick DePaolo, who is hysterical, politically incorrect. I think the guy is on a suicide mission, honestly. he has a new comedy special out on YouTube for probably the next 10 minutes called a breath of fresh air
Starting point is 00:00:35 you see it before it is taken down but he is really funny just a great great special speaking of seeing it before it gets taken down your painting featuring Adolf Hitler in Planned Parenthood

Okay, get set for laughs. Here comes today's podcast. You're listening to The Best of the Glen Beck program.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Here she is last night from the debate stage. Listen to this. I'm going to harness love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field, and sir, love will win. Ooh, creepy. Whoa. You're going to harness love for political purposes. And I'll meet you on that field, sir.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Oh, my gosh. And love will win. You, her against Donald Trump. This, and I thought Hillary Clinton was the worst candidate ever. I think choosing Marianne Williamson to harness love and meet Donald Trump on the field of love. So good. At least she's interesting, though, or Hillary is she, because I think Marianne Williamson's a better candidate than Hillary. Because at least, I mean, Marianne Williamson led the entire field in Google search results last night.
Starting point is 00:03:05 I bet she did. I was like, who the hell is this lady? I mean, there was a lot of that. But at least you're interested. Right. Yeah. She is interesting. She is great, she's great comic relief.
Starting point is 00:03:17 You know what I mean? Like when you have a field of all Marx brothers, you need Zepo, who really isn't, okay? Here you have all of these socialists. And then you've got this one sticking out going, I'm going to harness love. It makes for an interesting. Have you ever heard someone so consistently in a debate come out against plans? She just kept saying you don't win elections based on plans. You guys just go into Washington and all you do is you have your plans.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Well, are you going to improv the thing? What are you doing? I would like to, I'd like to know what your plan is. Now, maybe she's going off of the playbook of hope and change where we kept asking, but how? What's your plan? Right. And we never got that. So maybe she's thinking, hey, it worked for Barack Obama. Yeah, and as we now know, the plan, of course,
Starting point is 00:04:13 for Obama was Obamacare, which we all now know is apparently the worst thing that has ever happened to the country. But you know what would be better? They never say it like that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You know what would be better? What? Is if we had everybody into like a VA kind of situation.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Oh, yes, because that's exactly what they're having to be before. I'm telling you the soldiers. love the VA. Oh, they sure do. Yeah, there's so many people standing in line for Medicare. The soldiers that are in the hospitals, killing themselves, just to open up a bed so somebody else can get into it
Starting point is 00:04:52 because they're like, this is too good. But let's not only implement that, but let's trust the people who just brought us, just brought us the system they said would cure these things, that is failing so badly that all of them are running against it, including the guy who was on the ticket with Obama. I know. You know what? One of my favorite parts of this whole thing is, is that they're talking about, in fact, I think it was Kamala Harris, who we have to get to, that said, now,
Starting point is 00:05:20 wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, you know, you guys are, you guys are saying that it's Medicare for all. Look, I think we got to slow down. I think we have to do this, basically what you was saying, we have to do this in steps, in phases. Oh, yeah. We'll get there. So they're all saying it. All of them now are saying what we told you they were actually saying back when they were debating this in 2009. This is what they're doing. They're now actually all admitting, yep, we're going for national health care like they have in Canada, like they have in Great Britain.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Yeah. Jill Abrams said last night, as she is one of the, I guess, supposedly moderates on this issue and that she's not going to eliminate private insurance. but she said in her speech that this is a step. We have to take steps to get to single payer to get rid of private insurance. We have to take steps. And this is a step to that. This is what we were accusing you of for a decade. And we all got fact checked into fake news oblivion on social networks because of it.
Starting point is 00:06:24 And now you're all sitting up there admitting it. Think of poor, poor Joe Wilson, this congressman who is back. If you remember this, he's at the state of the union. Barack Obama was doing this. Yeah. And he says, you lie. That was about illegal immigrants receiving health care through Obamacare. And they acted all so indignant. Oh, my gosh, like we would ever do that. How un-American, we would never do that. I don't know. All of them. They're all saying you have at full access to American health care if you come across the border. Yeah, all of them. Illegally. You just, you come across the border. You stumble onto our land. I need a heart transplant, boom.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yeah. You have a full right to that medical care for free here in America. Now, let me ask you this to. If I say, if you come across the border, you get free everything and we can't stop you. And I'm going to decriminalize crossing the border. So it's not a crime which they all agreed on as well. Right. Not a crime to cross the border.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Okay. and you can stay here if you're already here. No deportation. New or old, no deportations. Can't turn them around at the border. What does it sound like to you? I mean, it sounds like open borders. Sounds like open borders.
Starting point is 00:07:50 How would you define open borders? Well, it wouldn't be a criminal act across the border. And then if you were caught in the country, you would not be deported because... You'd be basically a citizen. I mean, not quite a citizen, but you would be legally allowed to stay here. You get to all of the benefits.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Well, you wouldn't be able to vote and things like that. Oh, not yet. Not yet. But if you say that now, they'd say, oh, fact check, false. You've been demonetized. And then two years later, they're all being on stage going, yeah, they should all vote right now. Of course, that's on the way as well. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:23 So they're all now saying they finish the debate and they were asked, so you're for open borders. Oh, my God. No. Oh, how dare you? Wait. does an open how do you define an open border i'm not for an open how what part of the definition of of uh open border am i missing right if you run a convenience store and someone accuses you of having giving all your stuff away for free and you say no i just let everyone come in and if they take something
Starting point is 00:08:54 i don't i don't punish them and if i see them do it i won't i won't make them leave the store they can and if they hurt them and if they hurt themselves i don't i don't i don't punish them and if they hurt themselves will make sure that they get to the hospital and my store will pay for their medical care. They say, I'm closed. They break a window. They cut themselves badly. It's really, it's their right for me to pay for that medical care. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:09:22 What else is there? I mean, because I can understand why the Democratic Party does not want to come out and just say, we are for open borders, right? Like, that is not something that's going to connect in a general election. they're going to lose badly if they just admit that. But other than just the political sort of like branding, like, you know, it's like someone who releases a very unhealthy cheeseburger
Starting point is 00:09:42 saying it's light, right? Like, well, we all know it's not light, but maybe it makes me feel a little bit better about it. Because, I mean, really, what is the difference? People are coming up to the border. You're saying if they come for asylum, we have to take them in, right? So anyone can cross the border that says the word asylum.
Starting point is 00:09:59 It's not a crime for them to swim across the river and get in here. Even if they're not claiming asylum. Even if they're not claiming asylum, if they are caught when they are here, no matter if it's been five minutes or five decades, they get to stay. They will never be deported. Well, now, wait a minute. Why would they get caught or who would catch them?
Starting point is 00:10:15 Because they're all for the dismantling of ice. So, like, what on earth is the policy? The policy is just open borders. They've described every single element of it. I guess the only thing maybe you could say that's different than open borders is probably the border guards show up to let people. through the gates. Like, I guess they show up at the gate and they let the little bar goes up for each car.
Starting point is 00:10:39 And then I, what else? Like, it's just, I, because if they come up and ask for a border guard, for asylum, we are told that they have to be let in and taken care of. And when they're here, it's not criminal. And they can't be deported unless they commit another separate crime. We don't even have open borders for Americans. in America. For instance, I'm from Texas. I carry a gun. I go to New Jersey. I have to obey the laws of New Jersey. Well, that's not the laws in Texas. We don't even have open borders. They will prosecute me
Starting point is 00:11:20 for breaking the law in New Jersey where it isn't a law in another state. I have to live by that state's law and I'm an American citizen. With a constitutionally guaranteed right. Right. And you can be thrown in prison for these things. Really, I don't know. They really are falling
Starting point is 00:11:41 over each other to get further left and that is like... If the Democrats don't wake up to this, if the Democrats, and this is why the approach that we took during Obama was was not right because it's the same
Starting point is 00:11:57 approach that the left has taken now on Trump. They everything he says is bad. Everything he says. Everything he does is bad. He is a criminal. He's going to destroy us. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, I happen to believe these guys will destroy us because it's Marxism. But we have to find a way to talk to not the people in Washington. Talk to the neighbors that we have and, and gently talk to them and say, look, I understand Democratic Party. You voted for Democrats forever. This is not even the Democratic Party
Starting point is 00:12:35 of Barack Obama. This is not. And don't buy into this border stuff. Those cages were built by Barack Obama. The best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn. And if you like
Starting point is 00:12:59 what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed. His podcast is available wherever you download. your favorite podcast. There's a humanitarian crisis on the border. Some of your critics have said you have to speak out more directly to the people of Central America and say, don't come. If you come, you will be deported. Well, we actually, we've done that. The problem is, is that under current law, once those kids come across the border, there's a system in which we're supposed to process them, take care of them until we can send them back. So is your message don't come? Oh, our message
Starting point is 00:13:34 absolutely is don't send your children unaccompanied on trains or through a bunch of smugglers. That is our direct message to the families in Central America. Do not send your children to the borders. If they do make it,
Starting point is 00:13:51 they'll get sent back. More importantly, they may not make it. So now listen to what he was saying here. He was very careful. So are you saying that don't come? And he was very clear. Absolutely, our message is, don't send your children. children unaccompanied.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Okay? Don't send because if they do make it, they're going to be sent back. Deported. Now, we told you there was a crisis. Stu, can you find for next week? The audio of me with Obama in office
Starting point is 00:14:22 pleading. They're putting people in cages. They're putting these kids. They're separating the kids. I spoke about this ad nauseum under Barack Obama. I can't take the left talking about how he has built these cages and these prisons for these children. No, Barack Obama did it.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Oh. And you know whose policy started it? Bill Clinton. Flores. One of the most audacious moments last night was Joe Biden in the middle of this debate talking about it. No, he's actually the end of the debate. He's talking in his final statement about how evil the Trump administration is and such. and he says, you've seen these videos where there are lawyers are out there talking about, you know, not giving soap and toothpaste to illegal immigrants.
Starting point is 00:15:14 The video he's talking about is featuring a case that began in the Obama administration, the one he was vice president for, and also the woman who's on camera is a woman that was an Obama era higher. she worked for the Obama administration. She's defending an Obama administration lawsuit against the Obama administration back in 2014 or 15. And this guy has the audacity to come out and cite that as an example of how bad the Trump administration is. Because he knows the media will not correct it.
Starting point is 00:15:52 And I have not seated anywhere. It's not corrected. You know what? Put that on the list for next week too. Put that on the list. It's Independence Week next week. And so let's be independent from some of these lies that all of them are telling. I just, I can't take it.
Starting point is 00:16:12 If you can't admit the truth, you are going to lose the ability to find the truth, to recognize the truth. We have half of our nation now living in some delusional world. and they are, there's no excuse. There's absolutely no excuse. This isn't 1930. You have access to the facts. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with.
Starting point is 00:17:01 And that is, the news and why it matters. If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters. It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life. The news and why it matters. Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast. Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Here I am. Ready to go.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Are you ever excited about anything? I'm excited about going on vacation next week. go into Europe. I'm going to see some people over there and get away from the madness that is the United States of America right now. I want to talk to you about debate. I can't wait to hear your analysis of what happened the last two nights. I'm curious about the patriotism of Bill O'Reilly, who runs away from the country back to Europe. Back to white Europe.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Nazi Europe. I think you're going to Berlin, aren't you? Fourth of July. Yeah. Wow. I'm not a color kind of guy. I'm hospitable to everyone. I'm not running away.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I just need a little alpine air after all of this hot air. Oh, y'all. Send us some pictures of you and your leader, Hosen. There's a lot of stuff going on. This is an important discussion we're going to have. All right, good. So let's start with the debate. Come on, come on.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I want to hear your opinions. What happened in the last two days? You've got two things going on. You've got the people at home watching, and then you have the corrupt media that's telling you what's happening, but they're not really telling you the truth. So just keep that in mind. There are two tracks. So you've got the 20 Democrats. Four or five of them are now in play.
Starting point is 00:19:04 The other 15 are eliminated. The ones that are still in play are Joe Biden, Mayor Pete, Senator Harris, and Senator Warren. Bernie Sanders is in the pack, but he's cooked. I think so, too. He's not, he does not look like a serious consideration. No, he isn't a serious player now. Yeah. He'll stay, he's got nothing else to do.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Remember, Bernie Sanders has been in Senate for decades. and passed one bill, a renaming of the post office in his state. That's it. Never did anything in the Senate. So he's done. So you get those four, get those four people. But Biden is still a guy who the money Democrats are going to go for, even though the media does not like him.
Starting point is 00:20:02 But last night, Kamala Harris put herself in the number two, lot. I agree. So it's going to be Biden Harris. Okay. And they're going to have to make friends, but they will. It'll be a little drama. But that's, I think, going to be the ticket. Biden Harris. Yes. I think there's a chance that Harris, if she continues to perform as well as she did last night, and Biden, Biden was okay in the first half hour, but when she came directly after, he looked like a deer in the headlights. And he was positioned as your time has passed.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I disagree with the deer in the headlights because deer can jump and Joe can't. I mean, he's not getting over the tent. Okay, you're right. You're right. Yeah, so maybe a turtle in a half a half. Like Joe, Joe is just discombobulated. He had to know Harris was going to do that.
Starting point is 00:21:08 It wasn't ready. I went around a country for the last three weeks doing that. Hang on just a second. Stu, I'm Kamala Harris and I say to you, and I was that little girl on that bus. Shame on you. Look, I was in the Senate for a long time. I can go through all the things that I led. But, you know, what I opposed was not busing.
Starting point is 00:21:29 What I opposed was that specific policy in the way it was implemented. and you know who else opposed it, were the voters of my state who were black. Black voters in Delaware opposed that busing bill. So you can go back and do revisionist history all you want. And that's what, of course, Harris was trying to do there. Right. And she did it
Starting point is 00:21:48 effectively because he was not prepared for it. How was he not prepared for that bill? No, but you guys are missing the big point. Harris wasn't trying to revise history. Harris doesn't know history. Right? Yeah. She doesn't, she doesn't, she doesn't, she doesn't know it. What she's trying to do is what all the left-wing politicians do, identity politics. And she was trying to shame Biden because Kamala Harris, as we all know, is very virtuous.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Virtuous. They're going to run on the virtuous ticket. Okay, it's like, we Democrats are very humane. We don't want to see anybody suffer. one of my favorite Harris lines last night was, we have to figure out how to put food on your table. You know what, lady? I'll put food on my own table.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I don't want you coming, unless you're delivering a pizza or something to me. I don't want you putting food on my table. But this is the theme that these virtuous Mother Teresa-type politicians, or St. Francis of Assisi, if you're a male, all right, these virtuous politicians are going to make everything all right. Everything that you need, you, the American citizen, everything. All right, you need your driveway shovel in a winter. Hey, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:23:17 We're going to come and get it. And even if your homeless will shovel any driveway you want, just point to one. Okay. So you're talking about Mother Teresa and a lot of people might. think that you're, you know, you're being hyperbolic about this, but may I just play, may I just play Marianne Williamson's harnessing of love clip? Listen to this. Yes. I'm going to harness love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field and, sir, love will win. You know what? I thought Tony Teneal was running. Love will keep us together. Yeah, I do. I do.
Starting point is 00:23:58 I thought the captain and Tineal were up there. Mayor Pete was the captain. I have to tell you, that was bizarre. It was like an alien landed. Oh, that wasn't bizarre. No, it wasn't. Next, they're going to have a fortune teller. Okay?
Starting point is 00:24:18 A little gypsy woman. Oh, my gosh. Why is a fortune teller have to be a gypsy? Oh, my gosh. Because gypsies are very talented in that area. What's the matter with you? What? Okay. So, but let's get back to the serious theme. If Americans buy this, all right, then we are a country in crisis. So that's what I mean when I say in my beginning remarks, there's two prongs here. The media prong, which one desperately wants either Harris or the senator from Massachusetts Warren. That's who the media wants. One or the other of those ladies.
Starting point is 00:24:59 The folks, the Democrats, they're not real sure about this kind of radicalism. So they'd probably go back to the old reliable Joe Biden if he can stay awake long enough to be inaugurated. He really looked old last night. Towards the end especially. Yeah, I don't think he... I like to spray tan. You know, I thought... But I, you know...
Starting point is 00:25:25 Trump spray tan is orange. At least Biden's looked, you know. Yeah. I'm watching Biden last night. And, you know, I've never thought of him. I mean, you know, when you think about him, you know he's old and everything else. But I've never felt like he was like, you know, right. But in that field last night, he looked ancient.
Starting point is 00:25:44 And so did Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders. Yeah, but it was late. It was late. The debate started at nine. Yeah, I know. But I think late for those two, maybe four. If you want to be fair, they should have an early.
Starting point is 00:25:58 bird debate. Yes. Beginning at four. Yeah. There could be the kiddies table and the early bird table. The early bird debate should be Bernie and Biden. Right. And first they could talk about their...
Starting point is 00:26:10 The fe and they get what they need and they come back and chat. And then they can, you know, maybe save 15 minutes just for their gastric problems. You know, oh, my stomach. Oh, I've got gas like you wouldn't believe. And they could just do that for 15 minutes at the early bird table. I think Bernie Sanders had ever had a moment of happening. happiness in his life. The guy is miserable all the time no matter what is happening. I don't know how the crotchety thing seems to work for his supporters, but I just did not get it. He is the get-off.
Starting point is 00:26:39 You guys have never seen Bernie when Ben and Jerry give him a free pint. He's the happiest guy. Really? Really. Yeah. So, Bill, may I ask you this question? What is the definition? You're a word smith what is the definition of open borders very good question back very very good so this is what i mean when i say that even liberal democrats watching these debates have got to say is it really wise public policy to allow every human being in the in the world into the united states and then pick up all their health care and all their education and give them food on the table Is that really wise public policy in a nation that has a $22 trillion debt? Okay?
Starting point is 00:27:31 Now, anyone, anyone would say, you know, I don't think that's really realistic. It may be virtuous. It may be, you know, that you're going to go to heaven, but it's going to bankrupt the nation. All right, it'll cause civil strife that we have never seen before. All right. and it'll collapse our economy. All of that would happen if you allowed every single human being the option of coming to the United States and having we, the American working person, pick up their tab.
Starting point is 00:28:07 That's essentially what the Democrats, all of them were saying. All of them. So I say, and maybe I'm long here, maybe when I'm strolling around the Alps next week, I'll go, geez, we're in trouble. But I don't think most Americans are going to go for that. So all Trump has to do is keep pointing that out and say, is this what you want? All right, because it's insane. I overuse that word insane. I know I do.
Starting point is 00:28:37 But this truly is madness. It's madness. Where you have no enforcement on the border. And as soon as they get here, you're picking up every tab they have. I mean, it's important. number one, but that's what they want. I know. They're the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:28:56 And they've succeeded in turning the southern border of the United States into a chaotic mess where people are drowning in the Rio Grande River. So if you're Donald Trump and you were watching the last two days, what would you say, or you're an advisor to Donald Trump, what would you say to the president, you need to prepare for this? I think the president is fully cognizant of how difficult his reelection is going to be, number one. I don't think he has come to grips with the fact that he's going to have to run a really strong campaign to win, even if the Democrats put a far left person opposite him.
Starting point is 00:29:44 But assuming it's Biden and Kamala Harris, assuming that's a ticket, up against Trump and Pence. Trump's going to have to really run a very strong campaign because the Democrats are going to play up that he's Satan. I mean, that's the, you know, he's your Satan. But something subtle like that. Yeah, something like that. And Trump's going to have to start to act more presidential in a sense.
Starting point is 00:30:15 I said, look, I'm the president. I've used my authority to help you the American person. Here's what I've done. And look at what they want to do. See, Biden and Harris are never going to be able to get away from the open border stuff, the reparations for slavery stuff, the unfettered abortion stuff. How can any American of faith vote for the Democratic ticket? How?
Starting point is 00:30:40 I don't understand how any Christian could do it based upon what they want to do with the unborn. and then they have the economy where the Democrats keep saying, well, the economy's no good. And then every stat in the world says, yeah, well, the economy is good. But they're never, the Democrats are never going to say the economy's good, ever. They'll always find somebody who's not doing well. And so that Trump's got to steer away from the swap there, because you'll never get out of it if he starts to engage them on a micro level. And just have a few overarching themes. president. I'm bringing prosperity to you, the American citizen. And these people want to
Starting point is 00:31:23 destroy the country because, as I said, the country would be destroyed with open borders. And I don't see that any Democrats saying, I'm going to moderate the border. I don't want to, they all agree that everybody should be able to come in here. Yeah, but they're saying today, all of them said it shouldn't be criminal. You shouldn't be deported. You shouldn't be arrested. It's not criminal. Then everything goes away. Correct.
Starting point is 00:31:49 You have no right to detain anybody. Correct. But they're saying today, no, how dare you say I'm for open borders? I'm missing something in the definition of open borders because I think you've, I think you've hit all of those things. Yeah. Well, look, the Democrats are going to say the economy's bad. Is that the truth?
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yes. No. No, it's true that they're going to say that. It's not the truth. Right. But it's not the truth. Yes. Economy's strong.
Starting point is 00:32:16 in America right now. Democrats are going to say we're not for open borders. Is that the truth? No. It's not. So what Trump's got to do is just ignore that and just put out his platform, and his platform is, here's what I've done for you, and here's what the Democrats are going to do, which is going to lead to the destruction of America, as we know it. Look, Kamala Harris was the Attorney General of California, right? Is anybody seeing what's happened to San Francisco in Los Angeles? Anybody noticed? All right.
Starting point is 00:32:52 That's performance-based. That's a performance-based thing. Was one question directed to her? What about your performance? As Attorney General, you've got the two major cities in California, an absolute chaos right now. Are you responsible for that, Ms. Harris? Are your policies of permissiveness responsible for 100,000 people, running wild in the streets, shooting up heroin in front of children?
Starting point is 00:33:18 Do you bear any responsibility for that, madam? Where was that question? Did you hear that? No. The Rachel Maddow's not to give that question. Because, well, you know, I thought Rachel Maddow was okay. The others, the only two that were all right were Maddow, who didn't even say anything, and Lester Holt, who's an honest guy. The rest of them, I mean, why are there? You could get anybody, anybody gets sit there and ask those kinds of
Starting point is 00:33:44 questions. Is anybody here want to confiscate guns? Raise your hand. I got an eight-year-old who can do that. All right? What you should do in a debate is get a person's position that doesn't quite stack and ask them about it. That's what a debate is. Not who likes cherry vanilla ice cream. Raise your hand. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Normally, I would not have, I would not have somebody who is this much of a tight rope walker on my show in this particular atmosphere, because this could be the last hour of my career. However, I know him.
Starting point is 00:34:46 He's funny. I've respected him for a very long time. He's a fan of the show. And so I don't think he has an agenda to end my career. And even though I think you're suicidal, you're suicidal. You're suicidal. Nick DePaulo is with us. He's a comedian.
Starting point is 00:35:02 He has a new comedy special out called A Breath of Fresh Air. And it will, I mean, it is a breath of fresh air because you're saying things that nobody in their right mind says anymore. Although you will be gasping for air a few times, A, because it's laugh out, belly laugh comedy. but also because there are times you're like, Nick, what are you doing? You can't even say. What are you saying? Well, that's what you do when Hollywood turned you back on you 20 years ago. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:38 What do I get to lose at this point? But this is how I always did it. After my second open Mike Glenn, somebody came up to me, and this is 1988 and said, you're politically incorrect. You're the, you're the, you're the few. That's where it's going. And I remember the saying of the guy, I think it's going to get a lot worse. But I had no idea we're going to get.
Starting point is 00:35:56 to this point, you know, a guy can say he's a girl and a girl. I mean, who saw that coming? Nobody. Nobody saw that. So, and I like how you said about the rope burning. Colin Quinn said, I'm the only guy that burns bridges while I'm standing on him. That's exactly right. Which sums it up perfectly.
Starting point is 00:36:13 You are, you're somebody, you won an Emmy for. Nominated twice work of a Chris Rock. Yeah. So I'm not a racist, folks. Although, Although the comedy that you're doing right now, and you could say the same thing about Chris Rock when he was going after people, you could have said the same thing. That's the point. But the comedy that you're writing now and you're performing is dangerous because it is exactly what everybody says.
Starting point is 00:36:44 If you're a misogynist, you're a racist, you're a sex, whatever it is, all the issts, you embody all of them in this special. be the next special. Ist. That's all it is. That's all it is. A picture of me and hist. Yeah, we're in weird times. I don't know how to do it.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I don't watch, and maybe this is bad, but I don't watch other comics and I watch specials. Because I keep hearing, nobody's doing what you're doing. Yeah, nobody is. So I have to say,
Starting point is 00:37:15 what are they doing out there? I'm just speaking from the gut. And then every once in a while, I'll catch a glimpse of a stand, you know, I'll go to the comedy seller where I developed this. the other thing. I developed this act, you know, on the campus of NYU. You know, the comedy seller
Starting point is 00:37:30 is on the campus of NYU. Right. So, um, I upset a lot of people. And how do you, are you still performing there for a time of time? I don't. I moved to, this is when I knew I was, I, I moved to Georgia a couple months ago. You moved to Georgia? I was living, well, I was living West. I was living four miles from Hillary Clinton's house. Oh my gosh. And everybody up there, that is as blue as it gets, Chester County, New York. And I'd be in a dentist waiting room and I'd hear people bad-mouthing Trump and stuff. And then I started getting paranoid. You know, if somebody at the grocery store was taking too long to help me, I go,
Starting point is 00:38:07 they must have saw my special. They hate me. Or my dentist doesn't call me back. I go, this guy's a lib. I was getting nuts. My wife's like, calm down, will you? And I said, let's get out of here. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:18 And it was actually affecting me, you know. Oh, I know. The cable guy wouldn't get back to us or whatever. You know, every day I go. I swear to God they hate my politics. They know who I am up there a little bit. I was in New York for years. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:31 So I picked up and, you know, moved to a nice purple state, Georgia. That's why you're in Texas right now. Yeah, I know. That's why you're in Texas right now. Because, I mean, part of it was Glenn walking down the street and people throwing things at them every five minutes. And then you come to Texas and at least, at least they're not throwing things at you every five seconds. Well, they're throwing things at me because, yeah, for real reasons. You're really famous.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I couldn't deal with one. I mean, I'm still under the radar. I wear it as a badge of courage that Facebook has taken down my ads now. You should. And I wears a badge of courage that they finally, I would be get insulted. I be saying, hey, why is Stephen Crowder getting in trouble? You know, I did think that watching your comedy special. I did think, Stephen Crowder, there's nothing compared to this.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Yeah, or whoever Owen Benjamin or McGinnis, I'm like, I've been spewing this stuff for 30 years. Am I that bad, a marketer? I can't even... I took it as insult. They're like, this guy's not even worth the time. He's so stuck in 1968 or whatever. And but people, and you know what, Glenn, here's the thing. When I do racial, it's racial.
Starting point is 00:39:39 It's racial. It's racial stuff. And this is the truth. I've been doing this 30 years. I've had maybe four black people get upset with me, as opposed to the 750,000 young white kids. Yes. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:39:52 Yes. Black people come up and go, We love your honesty. Me and Patrice O'Neill went on that show tough crowd. We sort of opened, we got away with murder on that show. And people would come up to me, black people in the streets and I love what you and Patrice do. Because it's just honesty, you know. And you got to, but you got to be funny.
Starting point is 00:40:10 And it's comedy. And it's, I was going to say, you've got to be entertaining. You don't want to get preachy. I don't want to turn into Janine Grafalo and you fall off the, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who I like. Actually, people don't believe I love it. I'm a friend of the Janines, but you got to be entertaining.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Do you still have friends? Because comedy, the comedians have become worthless. They're really worthless. Spineless and worthless. They really are. You got to tell me Gallagher is worthless? This guy, he's doing edgy stuff. He was breaking watermelons.
Starting point is 00:40:41 They're all like that now if they're not preachers. You know, everything is. I mean, they're going for applause. They're going for those lines that they can, you know. Yeah, I call it claptor. They're just going for claptor. Clapter. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Yeah. Well, it's like watching a debate. Every time they just spill out these platitudes. Everybody should have new shoes. Yay. It's, yeah, I just do what I do. And yeah, but like we're bringing up Louis, like, you know, he can't even go back to the comedy cellar.
Starting point is 00:41:15 On nights that he pops in, there's women, female comics, who say, I don't want to work there if he's there Wednesday night. So they don't know what they'd do. doing for a living, number one. That's the definition of a hack. You're a comic. I love that what I do for a living is at ground zero of this First Amendment thing
Starting point is 00:41:32 right now. It's not musicians, it's comics. Oh, yeah, it is. And I love that. I really think that you are the closest thing that we have to a Lenny Bruce today, because we are now the underground. We're the counterculture. Yes, we are. And
Starting point is 00:41:47 Lenny Bruce was intentionally pushing every button he could to show people wake up. What the hell is happening? Wake up. Right. And I watch your special. And if you are intelligent, you
Starting point is 00:42:04 know that's exactly what you're doing. Because I see you and you say stuff that's really, really funny and really over the line. And you know it's, you wrote it for that. You know what I mean? I write on stage so I don't sit down with a notebook
Starting point is 00:42:20 anymore when you do when you first start out then you go this is work I'll think of something off my head and I'll record it and listen to it you know I mean and that's how seriously that's the best way to write in my opinion so it comes from my gut on stage as opposed to when you sit down
Starting point is 00:42:35 and you're actually intentionally trying to be provocative right you know I mean yeah so it comes from the gut right but yeah this stuff that I watched I was like yeah right you are turning it up for come for comedic sense but it gets some attention Yeah. Seriously, as a 57-year-old white guy in the comedy world,
Starting point is 00:42:54 you've got to scream louder than everybody. I'm so sick of here. I laugh when I hear female comedians, gay comedians, black comedians talking about how politically correct and how comedy's ruined. Political correctness was created to shut up guys like me. There's no black comic who got in trouble for making fun of white people
Starting point is 00:43:09 or gay comic making fun of straight people. They don't get in trouble for that. It was created. It came about to shut guys like me up. And I'm not going to shut up. I need the money. I got a dog with cataracts. My wife has a cold problem.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I mean, I got to work. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll come back. I warn you, this is, it is, this isn't anything that you have, if you remember people like Richard Pryor, you've seen this. You just haven't seen this in 20 years.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Somebody who has just the balls to say what everybody says, don't say that, whatever you used to do. Don't say that. He says it. He says it. You talk about me or Trump. Who I love. He was the best thing to happen to my career.
Starting point is 00:43:58 He's my favorite president of all time, and I'm not kidding. Nick DePaolo is with us. You have done three comedy specials on Comedy Central, a Showtime special. Your newest and most controversial, perhaps, is a breath of fresh air. How do you, have you been demonetized yet by YouTube? No, I'm taking that as an insult too. Take my money, please. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:28 It's amazing. Facebook is pulling down my ads. They'll leave it up for like a day or whatever. But no, not to the point, like they went out to crowd or whatever. Yeah. I'm sure that's, I was talking about that. I have a show to a streaming live show Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. Eastern to noon time. and I was talking about that last week.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Everybody's talking about the 2020 election worried about outside interference with Russia and China, which is not the problem. It's Google and Facebook. Yeah. I mean, they work with China to censor people. Right. So, and look what they tried to do to Trump, whether you believe it or not, you know, I believe in the deep state silent coup.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Look what they try. So what are they going to do this time? If they were capable doing that, you don't think we have evidence, don't we? What was the doctor's name at Harvard? Epstein. You should talk to this guy. I did. He's my ear doctor.
Starting point is 00:45:27 He's done a study. Now, he's a Clinton supporter. He was a Clinton supporter. He did a study in the 2016 election on Google and Facebook and wanted to see if they were, you know, rigging the election. And he said, they were. They were. I just talked to him the other day. he said it is far worse.
Starting point is 00:45:48 He said, we have got to get a handle on Google and Facebook because they will flip this election. They have already said it. James O'Keefe went on the Project Veritas. You get that woman. She's involved in the algorithms. Right. And she's out there just saying it. They're saying it.
Starting point is 00:46:05 We're not going to let a Trump mistake happen again. And then you put on CNN or whatever MSNN, NBC, and they're talking about China, Russia. We got to be, you know. spent a couple hundred grand on Facebook ads. Ooh. Right. It's cool, but they control all the information. I mean, that's the big worry.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Yeah. What is going on? I know. And how do we, how do we violence? Violence. I'm almost half kidding. That's where we are, Glenn. Here's my analogy.
Starting point is 00:46:35 It's like, I don't know if you're a hockey fan, Bobby, you are, had like 23 knee operations. This is where we are now. This is my analogy. He has no more cartilage. It's bone on bone. There's no more middle. Right. We're either going to
Starting point is 00:46:47 Balkanize or go to war. And all as I know is I'm on the side with all the guns. Right. But don't you think we're getting close? Yeah, I do. I do. Unfortunately, I don't. I mean, I wonder if it is to the point to where it's
Starting point is 00:47:05 almost inevitable because I think people, you know, CNN is doing this special this weekend on the rapid rise of the class. and white supremacists. And I'm like, what are you talking about? There's 11 of them left. I know.
Starting point is 00:47:22 They work at a Sonoco station in Arizona. You can round them up in a minute. And I have to assume there's all still Democrats if they're in the plan. If they're in the clan. Exactly. Yeah. So it's absolutely crazy what they're doing. And they're looking for what is causing this.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Of course, Donald Trump is causing this. Or is it possible that a group of people that get on television and radio and in the universities who are talking about toxic white people might be furthering regular normal people to go, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. That's exactly right. I mean, they are pushing people into radical positions because when you're backed into a corner and all of the power is saying you're toxic, you're bad, there's nothing good to you and we're going to punish you.
Starting point is 00:48:14 you look for anybody that is going to stand with you. Now, I wouldn't stand with the clan, and I don't... Well, your lobby says otherwise today. What's... I walked in there, I go, whoa, I'm not going to follow these guys? This is going to make my special look sad. He's referring to the museum that we have in the atrium where there is a clan rally around a tree.
Starting point is 00:48:39 It's, it's... You have to have it in context here. Yes, absolutely. But this, I could see a potential tweet on the way of it. But go back to Nick, something you said earlier. Because, I mean, it does feel like that, right? It feels like everybody's at each other's throats all the time. But as you said, you've been doing this stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:56 It's offensive. And you've had what? You said four black people in the entire time that you've ever been out there that have had a problem with you. Generally speaking, when you go out and you're like, I don't think it's real. I think you talk to. No, you're right. You know, you talk to regular people and they're not like that.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I just moved to Savannah, okay? And it's so much. And I'll probably. I tell people, it's like 1958, but not racially. It's, I noticed like older black people and white people, like in the 60s going to lunch together. It's so much more integrated as opposed to the Northeast, where you can feel the hate under the fake smiles.
Starting point is 00:49:27 And it's so nice down. I'm at a Kroger's supermarket, and there's an older black gentleman in front of me. He pays for something for the lady in front of him, an older black one, she didn't have some. And then the cashier goes from you have your Kroger's card. I go, no. And he goes, he can use money. mine. And it was just a weird moment. It's sharring, isn't it? Anything you were like that.
Starting point is 00:49:49 I feel like we were like that we moved to Texas. You're like what, you being, what's your angle? You know what I mean? Is this a trap? But God doesn't want me to be happy because on the way home, there's some young black kids crossing the street. This kid runs out and kicks my car for no reason. Oh, geez. He thought I was supposed to stop from something. He's like 16 years old. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Yeah, if I was up in New York, I would have thought that. Me and my wife just moved down there. And the doorbell rings like three days after the moving truck left. And it's like two 10-year-old girls eight o'clock a night with cookies and brownies from me and my wife. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:50:23 And I'm going, oh, my God. Now, that might have happened in Westchester, but there would have been rat poison in the brownies. Because the mother was a big Hillary fan and she saw my latest work or whatever. The name of the special is a breath of fresh air. You can find it on YouTube. Nick DePollo. The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand.
