Music playing Oh yeah! It's freedom, baby! How are you folks? On a Wednesday, good to be with you. I've got a good show for you today. We have a very fine author. He's been on the show before. He's got a new book out called the White Privilege Album.

There he is. I didn't know he was such a ham. Bringing racial harmony to very fine people on both sides. It's a buddy AJ Rice, so I sat down with him and talked about the book and current events. And it's very entertaining. Here's part one. Take it away. My guest today, a good friend of the show, he's been on before, he's a best-selling author. His latest piece of work is right here. a great book.

I just started reading. The White Privilege Album. And The Woking Dead was his last book and it knocked off Bill Maher, Kat Tamp, and a few other people as far as political humor. And he's a great writer. I'm not just saying that because I dated him. He really is. That's right.

Please welcome my buddy AJ Rice to the show. AJ. That's right. Great to see you the show. AJ, great to see you. That's right, Nicky. Great to see you, brother. Yeah, we dated back when I was a illegal alien female. So now I've transitioned to an Irish Catholic SOB from Philadelphia. That's right. But it wasn't that what got me attracted to you. It was your music, weren't you? Like, he played the keyboard to the transgender band called... I did, I did.

It was a Casio, that's right. Everybody goes with that. Immediately when I say keyboards, I think, you must be the same age. That's right. Anybody that had a Casio though, was always a little light in the loafers, if you ask me, I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to be something mom. Look at me, I'm Mozart with my tie-dye slippers. You never want to be playing an instrument. I saw a guy on a sidewalk in New York City playing a Casio and people were throwing up money and some black girl comes up and just fucking destroys it. She meant to, she meant to pound on the keys and the fucking legs went out

like it was a cripple and everybody's yelling at her. And I actually laughed my balls off at that. Yeah, filling that. It wasn't, was that Lizzo? She starts singing when she did that? What happened then? No, Lizzo, God bless her. She lost about a hundred.

She's got heavy fingers. Yes, heavy fingers. And if she sat on that thing, it would have been dust. Oh my God. Let's talk about, first of all, what are you trying to say with this book? Tell the people what is it about White Privilege album? What's the theme? What are you trying to say here?

Well, the subtitle is bringing racial harmony, which I know you do every day on the show, to very fine people on both sides. I know the very fine people are tuning in right now. They always tune into this show. They do actually. Let me tell you something. You'd be surprised. I have my mix of fans and now because I'm on Crowder a lot I got I have Conservatives who are like, you know real conservatives they get mad when I take the Lord's name in vain But they're all right. All right with the word. Come on what they don't mind that right? So that's my fans Open to it all Once you go. Yeah, once you go past three or four of George Carlin's words there, the seven words, they're gone.

They're gone. Well, they need to know that you're an eye tie from Boston. You came out of the womb this way, right? They came to you, you didn't come to them. I've now known you for 20 years almost. I've now known you said you want to years almost thank now known you for 20 years And you I mean this you've been you've told the same jokes It's just that the freakin some comedians and the leftists move the goalposts past you But you're still standing in the fucking end zone. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah, I was uh, yeah, I burnt them deep it was a fucking you know, it was a

Couple of slow white safeties. I went right by him and I've been. That's right. Let me ask you. Right. Just not that. Just just not that. Just not the exciting whites on the Eagles. All right. We've got the exciting whites playing corner on the Eagles. How about them Eagles? How about them?

Right, baby. That's a. Hey, I love it. You kidding me? You know, we're going to get them again next year. You know, there's some there's some African village right now wearing Chiefs Three-peat gear. I know okay Say we think alike you and I right kid think alike kids sit in front of a bowl of mushroom flies all over I'm just gonna my home shirt on That's right. Enjoy that.

No, I was not. That's right. Watching Brittany Merk, watching Brittany Mahomes stuff her face, you know, hanging out with Taylor, you know, eating $5,000 sushi. I'm sure they appreciate it. Look let me tell you something. Philly's, Philly, Boston, a lot of, I love it. Philly has a worse reputation fan-wise because they don't care what other people think of

them, which I absolutely love about anybody who thinks like that and I became a fan when I was about 11 years old when I saw somebody blind Santa Claus with an ice ball at Veterans Stadium and that's what I became a Filly fan. Every one of those snowballs had a Duracell battery in it okay okay okay Santa was delivering toys and he needed some batteries ago. It doesn't Really look look Philly and Boston And New York could take a leap here because they folded like cheap suits in the Revolutionary War Billy and Boston invented America. Yeah, I mean we freaking invented America. So we have every right to act like this Yeah, now now we both have mayors that are trying to ruin it that's right that's right

those two yeah they're gonna go I like to see the two of them in a spelling babe I mean I mean they couldn't that's right the two of them look like a Benetton ad you know that had been hit by a bus fuck I mean they're terrible whoa I know they ruined my town it was a hard it was a hard work of middle class you know Italians didn't like I let me let me surprise you though you I know they ruined my town. It was a hard it was a hard work of middle-class You know Italians didn't like I let me let me surprise you though Yeah, I don't know if you believe in 23 and me of those things But according to that AJ I'm 1% more Irish than I am Italian Do you believe that?

a piece of tiramisu for Christ's sake That's right Gobbleagool coming out of your pants there. You know it's funny in Philadelphia, speaking of the Knights of Columbus here in the eye ties, you know the last goofy Irish mayor tried to put a box around, you know, around Christopher Columbus statue. And like, what do they call them? The gravy Navy? The gravy Navy, the Sunday gravy Navy went down there

and ripped that shit right down over there. They weren't playing with that. They were not playing with that. I never heard of the gravy Navy, that's amazing. Yeah dude, yeah. Gravy Navy. They're Philadelphia, man. Yo, look, you try to mess around in South Philadelphia with

Christopher Columbus you're gonna you know you're gonna you're gonna catch one that's what look that's why I write about Columbus in this book and you know I you know I gotta tell you it's like that old joke it's like what is it hell for Irish people is a an Italian restaurant where every day of the year is Columbus Day and hell for That on the sopranos actually Christopher was in a coma for a few days woke up and he said he went to hell And it was an Irish Irish bar. Oh, my. T I went to hell T and it was an Irish bar.

Well, every day in the year, St. Patrick's Day. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, T. It's well, we hung together and we, you know, we hope we created freaking America in the 20th century, the Irish, the Italian. What are you trying? Yeah. What are you trying to say? What's the message of this book? The theme? I want to sell this book. So it's basically a defense of three things. Three things that the left tries to destroy.

At the macro, big level, it's Western civilization. So, you know, Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian civilization. Take a step down, it's the middle class. The leftists tried to destroy the middle class. They could talk about how they want to be for the middle class all day long. But the things they do, the policies, the things they stand for, everything from the Green New Deal to redistributing the whole third world to people's front yards, those things exist to crush the middle class. And then the third thing is the nuclear family. And look, we know they hate that.

Black Lives Matter put it on their website. It was right next to their love letter to Hamas that they, you know, the nuclear family was some sort of construct of white supremacy. So, I'm defending those three things in a fun way. The book is twelve chapters each chapter is a month of the year the jan january privilege all the way through to you know you and i celebrate in kwanzaa in december right

uh... which we always do and and and look you have to poke fun at these people and i grew up watching guys like you and collin louis and many others listed in the rush limbaugh listening to, listening to Howard before he went to the Howard before the Diddy White parties where he's in the basement with Billy Joel giving each other freaking jabs all day long, right? Giving each other boosters, playing mahjong in the basement.

So I mean, you have to use humor to illustrate truth. That's what comedy is about. And it's a check on power. You have to check power. And in the old days, journalists did this, and musicians did it, and actors did it. But now, oh no, now they wrap their arms around Zelinsky's bombs.

They wrap their arms around the IRS. They wrap their arms around Pfizer and Moderna. So that's what I'm doing in the book, you know Poking fun at the left. It is a sequel to the walking dead and look the white privilege album with an apology to the beetles Not to yoko though the hell with her. We don't like yoko. She should deport herself. Just like like yoko Yeah, just look just like courtney love, you know, you know, I get all these lesbian comedians keep self-deporting. Why can't I get, you know, and I heard Courtney Love's going to,

so a couple guys in England can now kill themselves when they get near her. You know, Yoko should deport herself too. Yeah, she really, she fucking, well yeah, John Lennon was a pussy-whipped wife. All the broads he could get, he goes with that thing, a short order cook from Panda Express, Jesus Christ. Come on.

I mean, look, you know, Nick, here's the thing. You know, the left uses these terms like white privilege and toxic masculinity and the patriarchy. So all I'm doing is kidnapping their terms, stealing them, weaponizing them, using them back against them and dunking on them because it's so easy. And they're on the run. You know, this last election, a lot of this woke, D-E-I-E-S-G, the trans mafia and the rest, they're on the run because the American people have spoken. And I don't think they're going to learn the lesson they

should have of the last election because I still see them out in the streets, the trans queer Kess, destroying Muslims. I mean, it's just ridiculous. Well, that's a great point, though, what you said. You're taking the terms and turning them back, because it all starts with language. We know that. Whoever controls the language controls the narrative. It's very easy when you have a complicit media on your side on top of controlling, you know,

helping you to control the language. So we do need books like this. And it's, you know, my little part on stage, I just always, my dad wasn't like a real right-winger. He was just a traditional guy with common sense. He was a Marine, but he wasn't super patriotic. He just saw bullshit and called people on their bullshit. And that's all I've been doing on stage. And the fact that they marginalize guys like me, Steve and Crowder, what fucking YouTube did with Crowder demonetizing all the, that's how you know you have some power and stuff like that.

I like that you point out all the stuff that the Western world created. That's right. And right. So here's the thing. Most of the left likes to talk about the arch of progress bending towards justice. But what I'm trying to show in this, and I talk about sports and a lot of other things, is that in a lot of instances, and this is forgotten

at the college campus level, right, and the media pretends like this isn't true, and the perverts in Hollywood aren't going to make a movie about this type of stuff. But I don't care whether it's Branch Rickey or Abraham Lincoln, there are tons of white people that laid it on the line that sacrificed blood treasured reputation in some cases their life to basically you know make move the ball forward not just with african-americans you know we just had an anniversary look you're italian let's have this discussion we just had an anniversary of

the largest mass lynching in American history. And it wasn't of blacks. It was of Italians in New Orleans about a hundred years ago. Catholic Italians. And, you know, that's one of the reasons Columbus Day emerged was because the Italian immigrants were so freaking pissed off from Boston down to Miami swooping up through New Orleans another Catholic City yeah that and the people you're not gonna see that movie no no you're gonna see the movie about George Floyd the patron saint of

fentanyl well to be fair two of those Italians were so greasy they slipped through the nooses but they don't bring what what? Who the fuck said, what? Hello? That's right, they were shaving with olive oil and they came right through it. Hey, wait a minute, that's such a great idea. Yeah, so you, I love how you point out all this stuff, you know, that Western, the Western civilization, the left's trying to tear down. Where does, can I ask you, where does that,

I know it comes from academia because academia is loaded with you know fucking hippies and hippies parents and generation after generation. Where did they where did it all change? Was it the Vietnam in the 60s where that hate towards America from Americans is that where it kicked off or was it prevalent before then or was that the tipping point? Yeah the further we have gotten from World War II and we you know through the through the Cold War and some of the suspect events that took place everything from the Kennedy assassination through September 11th and COVID and the financial crisis in 08. The level of skepticism by everyone has grown.

But when it comes to the ability to sort of undermine the West, undermine, you know, look, you know, people don't like to hear this shit, but not all civilizations are created equal. I'm sorry. I mean, I'm just sorry. That's why, you know, that's why Albert Einstein and and Marconi and Isaac Newton and all these other people didn't

exactly come from Zimbabwe. They didn't. They did not come from there. They come from Bangladesh, right? Unless you were put on hold for like 20 minutes trying to talk, you know, Alexander Graham Bell, then you're on the phone with Bangladesh. But my point is that not all cultures are created equal to. And that's not my point. That was going to be my big point. Multi-culturalism. Correct. Correct. The big mistake is that we're a multicultural country.

We are not, we're a multi-ethnic country, but we have one culture here, Greco-Roman, you know, Judeo-Christian culture and just because we go to yoga or eat sushi or go drink tequila on Cinco de Mayo, which is canceled by the way, Trump canceled Cinco de Mayo. Just because we do those things doesn't mean we're going to throw out the freaking Magna Carta or the scientific method or the Declaration of Independence Or stop pretending that the Boston Tea Party didn't happen. I'm sorry If you want to come here, you got to be part of this culture. We're not Yugoslavia

We're gonna balkanize into all these things and I got some neighbor Sacrificing a goat, you know, you know hanging off a tree in the backyard I mean, you know some of that stuff is happening in Europe, which is a preview of what could happen if people like Donald Trump and J.D. Vance don't continue to get reelected. I agree. We're talking to author A.J. Rice, his latest piece of work, the white privilege album, bringing racial harmony to very fine people on both sides.

You're absolutely right. I can't, well, we had a racial incident, a huge thing, this past weekend, right? This white kid, I think he was white, was stabbed to death by a black teenager because he asked the kid to move out of his seat. They were at a track meet. The black kid came into this tent, the other other team's tent where the victim was and his brother and and and the brother asked the kid to leave and and and You know the media goes and a fight broke out. That's how I go. Well, no, no fight didn't break out Somebody asked somebody to do something

He might have put his hands on like like that's justifying taking somebody's life and here's the sad part AJ about this is There's a go fund me and they have over hundred thousand dollars raised for the suspect for the alleged killer Like he even said to the cop I'm not alleged I did it but then he does the old He put his hands on me self-defense, which doesn't work in this case You're not supposed to bring a fucking knife to attract meat Anyways number one and number two if you get a little fisticuffs or verbal exchange you go right to death I've so fucking had it. I Calmed down for a while, you know at the beginning of my career. I would say this shit anywhere

And and I never calmed down on live shows. But I'm just saying, I don't understand. Explain to me, AJ, when it comes to race, I don't understand this protecting black people at all. Is that just another play in the Marxist playbook? It really is, right? Is that what it is? It is. Dividing and... It is. I mean, look, if this were reversed and the races were reversed, I mean, there would be, I mean, Anderson Cooper would be under the bleachers broadcasting.

It would just be breathless coverage about how, you know, Trump's America, black track students stabbed by whitey. You know, I mean, it would be everywhere. We would have, we'd have a moment of silence everywhere. Riots. You know, I mean, just, yeah, well, yeah, absolutely. I mean, yeah, oh, yeah, the cities would be burning. I mean, but here's the thing.

What I find interesting, and they do this with a lot of things. They do this with a lot of things. They do it with Israel and Hamas. They do it with Zelensky. Is that they're always looking for sort of the the the white racist underlining cause or they're able to through this leap and bound sort of extrapolate the reason that this person stabbed this white kid like well you know he probably you know had a bad home life or or this or that or you know

there's you know he's probably know, he probably only got five pairs of Jordans instead of six, or whatever the hell it is, right? Yeah. Just like they do with Israel, with Israel they're just like, well, you know, one of the hostages didn't have any food, but Hamas didn't have any food. I know. Israel was starving Hamas, so then the hostages were starving too. I mean, this is what they do to bring more equivalency boys and girls as you know I do stand-up

comedy and it's my bread and butter it's my oil and vinegar it's my pineapple and spaghetti sauce they put it on pizza that's how stupid it sounds to me that's what I say to people so do you Do you put fruit in your tomato sauce, you fuckstain? Anyway, tour dates, April 25th I'll be at Cahoe's Music Hall in Cahoe's New York and then May 15th and 16th at Zanies in Rosemont, Illinois. Here's something you've got to listen up. Oh, merch.
