You may have seen that clip of our next guest. Now, before he comes out, I just want to say, I know how he looks, but this is how he wanted to come out. And honestly, I think we could all use a good laugh. So please welcome. Michael, no! My favorite genre of comedy is the entire corpus of Norm McDomin. My second favorite genre of comedy is when the comedians destroy lives with jokes and funnies. You know, I don't know.

In a way, it's not even just because I'm conservative that I like it, but because that is by the standards of our age relatively subversive. So anyway, the producers have brought to me comedy that they say, totally jabs the lives. And so we will indulge ourselves with the kind of slop of laughing at our enemies. My favorite thing about Biden was

any time he was given his speech, in between teleprompters, his face would go back to being dead. You remember that? I'd be like, I'm serious. Look, I get it. You guys are pretty liberal here. Look, I understand being liberal,

dude, it feels good. It's powerful. It's too powerful, dude. You can, it's like the Sith. You can, like, lose yourself, dude. Somebody says something you don't like at work. Yeah. That's good.

It's good. I like Shane Gillis. But it's funny because I'm, that clip obviously is older. And now, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, Biden feels like a million years ago. We are standing in the valley of the ancient and forgotten. The men buried here are millions of years old. And were leaders.

that failed miserably. Oh, look. We're just in a totally different world. I think it's because of the popular vote. The fact that Trump not only won implausibly, but won the popular vote for his non-consecutive second term, it's just like, oh, Biden, yeah, oh, that guy that they installed when they changed all the voting rules.

Yeah, that, yeah, it's over, man. It's over. I wonder if you went to that audience now. I mean, I guess they just elected a jihadi communist in New York, but a lot of these audiences now, I don't even know if they even identify as particularly liberal. Okay, next one. I'll tell you right now, say what you want about Republican presidents,

but they got their first ladies in line. They do. Dude, George W. was president for eight years. Eight years. I don't even know his wife's name. What was it, Abigail or some shit, Maggie? No clue. Donald Trump's wife stands behind him like a giant mere cat.

Bill Clinton was president, his wife never shit. shut up. I want to do help there. He f***ed around on her so much. He's like, all right, whatever, just do it. Yeah, I don't know. Am I just not in the mood today? I don't know. It's not hitting me.

You know, maybe what it is actually is, I know that Bill Burr is like a huge lib. I know he's like a huge. And he talks about like keeping your wife in line. I don't know. He seems like kind of a lib now. And he was when he went on that late night show and he was chanting Luigi, Luigi, like justifying this left-wing terrorist who murdered a father and a husband, the United Healthcare CEO for just no reason, ostensibly ideological reasons.

Yeah, I don't know. It's not, I don't know, guys, is it me or are the producers just picking relatively weaker clips? Thanks. I don't know. Is it doing it for you? Tell me in the comments. Is it doing it for you?

It's not doing it for me. Am I just Scrooge right now? Am I just bah humbug? I don't, let's try it again. See, I'm not racist, it's just the outfits. Like, I was at Boston Logan Airport. Family of Somalians came in. Typical Somalian family, you know, one husband, three wives, ten children.

You know, all the women were wearing, you know, that. Just that with a little hole in it. You ever seen the Somalian burqa? It's different. It's, you know, looks... You ever see those... skydivers where they wear the flying squirrel outfit.

Kind of looks like that. I mean, I wasn't even bothered by that. They were in the same line as me. It was general screening. They unclipped and then they got into the priority line and the TSA guy was like, no, no, no, you can't do that. And then the woman just started speaking at him, like in her language. She was just like,

I'm wabababab. You know how they sound. You... You've seen Star Wars. It is weird that it's the Star Wars thing. It is. Listen, I'm joking. I love Minnesota.

Anyway, I... They call it the Pirate State. Yeah, all right, that was better. Feels more of the moment. Somali jokes are much more of the moment right now, and he hit a lot of layers to it. Layers. onions have layers.

I actually hadn't totally noticed the difference between the Somali burkas, but we all have noticed the Star Wars thing. Baca Laka Haku, Han Solo. We have, it's weird, it's funny. Then he took it further into a more offensively racial area. You know, the sand people thing,

which is a nice tie-in. Anyway, I don't, yeah. He had no, he wasn't begging for laughter from his audience. He wasn't, he was very late. That was good. Okay, I'm getting more, I'm feeling more in the spirit. Okay, let's keep going.

If there are liberals here, they're sitting there like, just don't move. Like Jurassic Park. No, liberals don't spend money on this shit. They're spending money at lesbian fire truck conventions.

Because they got, that's why, you know, everybody's so hard on the lesbian firefighters didn't know what they were doing. It's like, well, what do you expect? They don't know how to f***le the hose. Am I right? I mean, it's all right. You know, I actually like to set up more than the payoff. But it was all right.

I like that guy's stuff. He's got a good ethos to him. Deep down, I don't think anyone's really Democrat or Republican, you know? It's like, are you really liberal, liberal people? Are you just under 35, really? Never owned your own business. Once you open that gluten-free muffin shop or whatever it is, these taxes are a little high to support this niche market that's buying my cupcakes.

And if that doesn't switch you conservative, let's be honest, every liberal is just one bad mugging away from switching to conservative. You're walking around, you're like, I'm with her, Bernie. And three kids jump you, beat the shit out of you while their friends film it and put it on YouTube. Yeah, you wake up the next day like, you know what? Donald Trump has a lot of good ideas. Yeah, it feels dated to me as the problem. And I don't know when this was. So it might be unfair criticism.

But like it says, maybe you're under 35. If you're under 35, you're under 35, you're under 35. I don't think that's true anymore. I think if you're under 35, you might be a communist. You might be like a trans communist, terrorist, Antifa member, or you're a Nazi. Like, I actually don't think 20 years ago, you would say, if you're under 35, you know. If you're not a liberal by the time you're 17, you have no heart. And if you're not a conservative, by the time you're 35, you have no brain.

You know, that's what we would say 20 years ago. But now it's like, if you're not an Antifa trans member or a not. by the time you're 14, you are, you're not 14. You're a boomer. So that doesn't read to me. Even the gluten-free muffin shop thing, now it's all the right-winger's. It's all the 35-year-old right-wing moms in the suburbs who are into the crunchy stuff, who are into gluten-free or whatever. So that chain, Trump changed the game, you know, it just doesn't hit. That joke would have hit 10 years ago. I don't think it hits anymore. I got yelled a show recently. This guy goes, Hey, buddy, that's a trigger word.

I was like, whoa, I think it's pronounced trigger. Easy there, big fella. And look, you know, if you get upset or offended, that's cool. I'm not one of those guys. You're allowed to be offended. That's totally cool. But if you are, just shut up. You're not a hero.

You're just ruining a show. Just be offended. Just let it float through you. Just feel it, right? Yeah, I don't share. We don't care. Just feel. Yeah.

We all have thoughts. I might want to sleep with your girlfriend. I just hold it in. I don't say, yeah. Yeah, just feel it. We're so obsessed with words now. It kind of shows how good we have. We've got to focus on words, you know?

Like, in the 70s, it was all about actions. Like, if you want to show you were brave in the 70s, you had to jump over 12 buses on a motorcycle. Now I see a guy making an off-color joke at the office. I'm like, that guy's fearless. Oh, wow. Yeah, I don't know. People take things so seriously.

I guess they've got to show you their personality by yelling at you about stuff that bothers them. I don't know. I don't mean any of this stuff. I'm just saying words in a certain. order to elicit laughter. People like try to figure me out through my act. It's all jokes. I told an abortion joke recently and a woman approached me. She was like, hey, that's very insensitive. I've had an abortion. You shouldn't tell jokes like that. I was like, whoa, hey,

sorry. I just told a joke. I think what you did was much worse. That's okay. That bit at the end there is like, yeah, I don't, I want to know, I bet this was, I bet that bit was from like eight years ago. Why is everyone getting so offended these days? What's the deal with this political correctness? It's like, well, that's not where we are, is it? It's just words. Now we know that the words really do matter. A lot of the lives have changed the culture. Who picked these clips?

I want to know. Get on the microphone. Who picked these clips? Jacob and I. Who picked that clip? That specific one? Yes. Jacob.

Professor Jacob, get on the microphone. Do you find that funny? If we were playing stuff that I found funny, it would just be brain rot. Yeah, you don't, you don't find that funny. So, see, this is what you've done. You've picked clips. This is what, this is the problem. This matters. This is the problem with the conservative movement, largely.

If the assignment was pick clips that are funny for a conservative against a liberal. You have failed that assignment because you picked a clip that you said, I don't find this funny. And you're a conservative. So what you did was you picked a clip that you thought some other conservative, who's not you, would find fun. And this is what the conservative movement does. It's like when I hear some of these politicians these days, when I hear some of these right-winger's talking, even the pundits and these people, I wonder,

I was it, who are you talking to? Who is this for? What are you talking about? You are, it's like you're living 10 years ago. No, that is not funny. Which one did you pick? You know which one thing. That guy, it was the one funny clip. That was the one funny clip. That was the one funny clip. I know. I, wow, I really, this has been educational for me. It's been very painful. I've never laughed so little at a comedy compilation, but it's very educational. Because when you, this is so, is this true of commentary on the right? This is true of campaign platforms from the Republicans. You say, hey, go out there and talk like a conservative in advanced conservatism. Then people say and do a bunch of stuff. You say, that what is it? Do you

believe that? Do you find that entertaining or funny or edifying? No. What are you doing? Well, no, that's for other, that's for the other conservatives. You don't, what are we talking about? It's changed. It's also changed so much. A lot of that stuff would have killed. 10 years ago. It's not killing now. We're in different circumstances. Wow. That was, I've laughed more at car accidents. That was, we're in a, we're in a whole new world. Hopefully next time we can chuckle. Bye.
