so weird and he said yeah let me know uh he goes i can't say much because they just just arrested the fbi they you they're gonna turn they're trying to i see what mueller's doing he's turning roger stone against trump trump is the target yeah so he's going to threaten him with you know he's 60 something years old so he can spend the rest of his life in prison or talk yeah you know well he's doing that with every he's a scary guy mueller if you if you had a problem and that guy was coming after you oh my god because he's going to do it slow like by the time this actually gets to trump he's going to be i don't think they do that slow they do that they start whatever they want i think that's different than what you're thinking anyway i'm very confused by the time they get to trump he's already so nerve-wracked you know what i'm saying because he like chips away at his borders like slowly
but surely takes away all the people around him yeah he gets closer and you know you know you know he's concentrating on the family you know of course of course of course that's what he does and he even does that with people like stone he'll go after your family and stuff you notice you never hear a word out of ivanka anymore no exactly yeah yeah i guarantee you yeah guarantee you they scared the out of her but if you want to know about mueller like i said and how creepy he is he was the head of the fbi during the 80s of the whitey bulger went down yeah and he put four guys in per he listen to this joe and this you can look this up this isn't me four guys he put in prison and wrongly it turns out two of them died in prison whoa yeah you can go because of bulger uh it had to do with that because yes they would do things and the fbi would let them get away with it because they
were providing information that's right that was the whole exactly right and he fought two guys died in prison wrongly by the way this guy's not a good guy i know he's a marine and decorated marine and they make those sacrifices they make those decisions where they're just gonna like help a person who's a criminal because that criminal's providing information that can allow them to get more criminals well yeah larger whitey was providing all kinds of about the guineas and he's boston that was a great movie too by the way you know i used to train a guy who was one of white he's hit men dana white no no no i got threatened he had to move out of town it was a bulger wasn't it yeah bulger related yes it was related when i was teaching taekwondo i had one of the guys that was in my class that was whacking people for whitey bulger he was asking me if you want to kill
somebody with your bare hands where would you hit him i was like uh the neck i was like 18. i was like he goes correct joe he's like good yeah i like that what was it kevin uh no no no but you know kevin you know he went away too yes um another tough kid yeah all related all of them together you know um this guy was a different guy this guy was he went away too but i mean he went away forever he was one of those guys like they caught him with blood under his fingernails and he was working with white yeah yeah well there's a lot of guys that were i mean it was a big organization when when we were kids i mean everybody knew it was a big organ i mean it was it wasn't a secret oh no oh i know how did hannity's attempt to link mueller to whitey bulger hold up this article on the boston globe says that's not true whatever it's the fbi he wasn't i know how you're gonna he
wasn't there he wasn't there then oh he wasn't at the fbi yeah it says mueller served the u.s attorney's office in boston from 82 to 88 as chief of the criminal division first assistant u.s attorney and acting u.s attorney for more than a year during that time bulger ran a sprawling criminal enterprise and got away with murders because he was a long-time fbi informant who corrupted his handlers the fbi he corrupted his handlers i love it and the fbi and the new england organized crime strike force a prosecute a prosecutorial unit that worked independently in the u.s attorney's office reportedly uh reported directly to the justice department used bulger to build cases against the mafia and give him a pass on his own crimes the fbi's corrupt relationship with bulger was exposed after he was indicted on federal racketeering charges in 1995 became a fugitive he was captured 16
§02Transcript - 08:46 start
years later yeah out here yeah so yeah he was captured in santa monica and uh so when did mueller says did mueller know the four men had been wrongly convicted and looked the other way there's nothing linking mueller to that case according to several attorneys for for the men voluminous court records and a former federal judge who presided over their wrongful imprisonment trial in 2007 the u.s district judge nancy gertner found the fbi deliberately withheld evidence that the four men were innocent the bureau helped cover up the injustice for deck jesus christ i hate reading like that she ordered the government to pay the men and their families 101.7 million okay it may be worth it how long did you guys go away for it let's be honest you were never going to make 100 million chicken scratches they've all got 100 million if every one of them got 100 million i mean i'm i'm in
i mean how much time you have to do how many times do you get while you're in jail how's that how bad is it per load man so maybe it was just a rumor that he was a part of that well like you said though that's the fbi as a story broke i'm sure they called the paper and said listen get your facts straight well how crazy is it the fbi covered up the information and knew those guys were innocent that is dark yeah who went to jail for that did the guys who covered it up go to jail i'm not sure ugh but uh two of them died you can't they died in jail two of them died in jail oh when that children you know they caught him because his wife was yelling and all the time yeah she was coco he had cash on the walls and did he i used to sell don't meet door-to-door when i before i started comedy and i used to go to went the hill not knowing where i was and i would i would wonder why people look at
my i take out my and they go that's slap that breaks down like 40 bucks a pound get the out and then somebody explained to me you know what the hell is like whitey bulges wow so you were selling meat in his neighborhood oh yeah same in east boston i knocked the door a couple of guys in revere that was like connected my buddy al know who they were and later on well they probably knew people from meat packing they've probably gotten right off of course of course and i'm i'm doing my little spiel there for a boiler you know uh boiler room operation oh you break it down for a meal it comes out there three bucks and they're doing the math in the head you could tell they were like bookies you know they're like that's like 40 bucks a pound get the off my steps it wasn't really that much but it was it was ridiculous you know but uh and i was in rhode island uh banging doors and i l
and and uh i got the same response and i looked down i see in the streets the lines on the streets were red white and green i was in federal hill in providence where the mafia started look at that sign look at that article look at this whitey bulger's santa monica hideout was full of money it still brims with mystery he was living in like a normal apartment i know so weird he had 822 thousand dollars in cash and valuables wow jesus christ i like that movie i thought johnny depp was great now yeah he was he was great in it yeah that's a creepy dude yeah he was as creepy as they get it's just amazing how much corruption was involved in that case yes and that which federal government was a part of it and they let that monster they let them thrive yeah yeah so makes you wonder about the fbi today well it should make you wonder it shows it what they're capable of yeah put it
that way whenever you're doing that whenever you're allowing someone to commit murder and deal drugs to get other people that are committing murder and dealing drugs like what yeah because they would just want they just look what happens with cops in this is very unfortunate but this is this is just what happens when you have a a game and the game is arrest people the game is win right you have a certain amount of college you have to make and if you can make more callers because you're in bed with a bad guy especially if maybe you grow up in that neighborhood it's always been kind of an accepted part of that neighborhood and conley grew up with one yeah yeah exactly yeah it makes a sneaky little deal yeah well sam with lawyers it's all about you you have to have it's like sports you have to have a winning record you're not going to succeed so they yeah you know they play outside the
rules i mean that's one of the reasons why cops and people have such a weird relationship because they're always looking to arrest people and you you you cops talking like don't put me on your record come on yeah and they just wanna huh maybe i can get you for something yeah i gotta get somebody you know i know when they have quotas like when you have quote like what would what would the police force do if nobody broke crimes anymore they'd make up if they what would they do like legitimately if they really do that would never happen it would never happen but what if everybody got on mushrooms and the world the world got solutions yeah the world got cleaned up i was wondering how long would it take to get that not much how much time couple years a couple years ago no i mean in the conversation with the mushrooms i got some right here if you want something dude i can't even
handle regular mushrooms shitake make me crazy i don't know how you do that we have a discussion dmt and portobello nice glaze a demi glaze on it yeah it just it though the whole i mean the mueller thing is very it's very interesting it's very interesting because you're watching a professional like cast a web like nice and slow yeah nice and slow this is the full force of the fbi against you and and if they'll do it against a rod just don't like you said they'll do you know yeah it's creepy well jamie said they opened up the government today to distract from the fact that roger stone got arrested most likely i think you're right i think that's a good assessment i i guess i mean trump's the final target so um but yeah he's gonna he's gonna threaten stone with you know he's like 66 yeah threatens him with 10 years he's probably gonna yeah he's kind of enough
to make him sing but he's such a single song like dershowitz says they don't just sing they they uh they actually uh how did dershowitz put it they actually you know come up with the lyrics they create they don't just sing yeah you know what do you think is gonna happen to trump if you had a guess as far as this investigation nothing really passing out of coffee over here uh thank you yeah thanks brother why do you think nothing's gonna happen you know is that well that's not true i shouldn't say that because only because i think mueller's pretty evil and we'll come up with something well you know what impeachment at the at the worst but where's the high crimes and misdemeanors what what well if there's obstruction of justice if there was collusion if there was any sort of if they can prove that there was some sort of concerted effort to undermine democracy yeah
i don't think i i don't think they'll get to get them even with roger stone they're not charging him with collusion or conspiracy just lying and covering up they don't they don't have them for collusion or conspiracy they're lying and covering up the uh interactions with russians right so what it is i i guess that would be mueller's angle yeah you know jamie was talking about something yesterday and i started listening to this recent sam harris podcast and it is fascinating how much russian troll farms and all these fake accounts and what they're trying to do and what one of the things they're trying to do is what jamie was saying was that that kid with the maga hat or the native american beating the drum in front of him yeah the image of that was posted by this website that turned out to be a russian troll farm but it was in brazil was it james was a blogger in brazil
yeah yeah when they had cnn looked into it they just kind of asked twitter what's going on with this account and by the time they'd asked them they just suspended the account so it's gone but but you said they suspended the account because the account was a fake account yeah they had uh they thought it was posing as like a california teacher yeah her name was talia yeah but it was it was an actual blogger in brazil oh so it was brazil it wasn't russian no i i i wasn't sure no i just was never saying like it was sewn into a fake account of some sort but yes they also needs yeah well they're trying to get people against each other of course like they're doing that in america like people need to understand that this is actually really happening and do we need their help really will we turn against each other well if you stop and think about it has there ever been a time where the left
§03Transcript - 17:06 start
and the right were more at each other's throats cnn's enough you don't need russia but but are cnn enough to really get people turned against each other like this no way you need angry discourse online and the way that comes from there's there's an amazing uh radio lab podcast about this uh where they talk to people that actually worked in these troll farms and that these people were they they would both be left wing and right wing and this is one of the things that they're talking about on the um sam harris podcast it's i think it's called a war of information but they'll pose as like uh pro-choice people and say ridiculous yes like over the top ridiculous and then they'll pose as pro-life people with like american flag and you know maga in the in the you know the hashtag and they're they're heading but they have nothing to do with that they're just russians and
they're just trying to get people riled up and you see people jump on board and start chiming in but um i was talking a comic that we were talking about that i won't bring his name up but he referred me to this this russian guy i can't i'm not going to remember his name but this is a clip of this russian guy who worked for the kgb defected over here and he's explaining how russia does that yeah and this was back in the 80s oh well we do it too everybody does it they all do it everybody does it they with the system in any way shape or form in order to achieve a desired result i think the russians are the best at it apparently well i just think they're way more dedicated to it and yeah i mean it's a sneaky way to go about doing things too because russia doesn't have the the kind of money that the united states has they got nothing they have you know their economy is the size of texas yeah
all they have is nuclear weapons they they're almost like a third world and a brutal dictator and a dictator yeah that's all it takes but as far as the economy and everything they're like a third world yeah it's well they're like a small european country but it's really interesting when you you listen to these podcasts about how much effort they put into sowing discourse or discord to getting people upset with each other to starting arguments and to saying things that are going to upset people in order to get the right versus the left yeah to like to undermine democracy from the inside yeah it's really interesting i mean it's it's weird that it works but it makes sense that it works it's a sneaky ass strategy yeah you think cnn does just as good a job oh they really do then horrible but you're so you're so right-wing you can't i'm not so right-wing john how right-wing
far right middle middle right i'd say yeah center right of center right of center right yeah yeah yeah what's wrong with cnn oh do you like it first of all i don't need to hear it in every airport before i'm doing a gig the last words i want to hear wolf blitzer before my plane crashes um um somebody told me wolf blitzer got on jeopardy and they exposed them yes i remember reading that too because you know people get on um television they read off a teleprompter you think they're brilliant they seem brilliant you know they say absolutely then you get them alone how about louie goes on uh jeopardy and wins what louis ck yeah did he yeah remember they have celebrities on once in a while when did he do that a couple years ago did he go on with regular people and when i forget who he's against i think there's other famous people that make sense remember jonathan
yeah oh he's very smart well do you remember he went on jeopardy against regular people and he won the tournament yeah he won the whole tournament a comic yeah so folks don't take us lightly is he still right for there he is wolf blitzer minus four thousand dollars dumbass yeah it didn't work out so well ah that's funny that is hilarious well you know people can pretend to be smart you know you read off the teleprompter they give you the script you know but john was jonathan groff does he still write for conan it's a good question he was right the last time i saw him uh but he was really really bright funny guy too and really funny yeah yeah i don't think he does stand up anymore though he just writes that's how smart he is he's like enough of this nonsense this jokey joke nonsense enough is enough i'm starting to feel that way yeah um but why do you hate cnn oh come on all the they put
out there and uh well just an example how about before the uh when donna brazile had the notes for hillary before the barney yes remember that was that enough to discredit yeah she was a pundit right and they still had her on that's what's ridiculous that they had her on after that yeah they told her what questions were going to be yeah yeah well her book was amazing though that that's what's interesting is they her over and then she came out with a book and that ripped them what i read about how they rigged the dnc that's how they how they uh bernie out of the primaries yeah yeah yeah bernie gets screwed it's a dark business oh it's it's all the same they're all in cahoots but you don't think like the mainstream media is sort of like a propaganda arm for the democratic party well they definitely said negative they definitely think they're working for the good
but it's 93 negative coverage with trump right trump is an you know he's an unusually polarizing figure sure i mean was it that way with um well i guess i was probably pretty negative with bush oh it was a different world back then no it was but they always since i've been a kid i mean reagan was a dummy and just a b actor and an idiot and a racist you can look at the ship year after year that's true george bush senior george w bush dick cheney warmonger it's the same racist bigot race and it works and four it works ford was a and what was remember how he was portrayed on snl yeah he was always falling he couldn't walk three feet which was kind of true actually and he was an athlete but but it's always been that way the mainstream media has always sort of uh been more liberal and all right but then you have fox news which goes far the other way well well they're opinion
shows but at least when you watch fox news which everybody who hates foxes never watches it number one uh but but they at least have liberals on you know and shepard smith hates trump yes because he looks like every guy that bullied him as a kid do you think that's why i hate someone yeah i do that's it that's the reason yeah the only thing i do nothing that's the reason most of them hate him he's he here's what's uh here's what they don't bring up even hannity and all these guys you get your head going like a piece oh christ's sake let's change the subject he's getting irritated with me already i got to get you out of la i'm afraid you're going to get diseased um and everything's good over here no no tell me about it uh but uh what were you just talking about uh why they hate trump because if they never bring up this though they never because he's a alpha male blonde head blue eyed
billionaire that is the that's the embodiment of the devil for the left they never bring that up on the show do you think that's really what it is there's nothing to do with him lying all the time and there's nothing what's he lie about the number of people at his inauguration as opposed to obama going oh you can keep your healthcare i mean the you know he doesn't lie any more than any other president you don't think so if he does it's trivial he's a salesman he's a there's a fine line well he's he's definitely a salesman but oh he's a bullshitter that's what we need we're a corporation where corporate the country is tony thinks so that's what i always heard it's kind of like that a little bit i mean but it's some some sort of an organization does hillary clinton lie you know oh yeah for sure well why didn't you get called on it how is that fat twad not in cups oh how dare you
it is a good question you know yeah it's a great question i was talking to mike baker who used to work for the cia oh i thought you meant my web guy no because he buggered he wanted to come out here with me and mike baker from the cia i know he is if he if he did anything remotely like what hillary did he'd be in jail for 30 years of course yeah remember the kid in the submarine that worked for the neighborhood you took pictures of the submarine i mean he like took a selfie and it had bad in the background that he wasn't supposed to take photos of and how long was he in jail i don't know yeah so i would just like to see some equity as far as people being held accountable on both sides well maybe it would have been different if hillary made it through maybe it would have been different in terms of like media coverage if she actually became president they would
§04Transcript - 25:42 start
have sucked her ass you think so yeah i think so i don't know man once donna brazile's book came out and people have an understanding about the inner workings of the party i mean i think look it politics are it's a dirty dirty business philosophy it's dirty it's worse than podcast but it's podcasts are pretty clean i know like relatively but it's very that's why people come to it now you can't get the truth from the mainstream media well i was trying to explain to a friend who was talking about doing a podcast uh deal with a network and i was like stop you can't this is the one thing that you can have well you can it can be mainstream and it's free of everything how free of any influence and you're going to let a bunch of pencil pushers and and button pressers they're going to tell you what you can and can't say which direction you can and can't go you
know they're going to try to influence you but isn't google doing that no what do you mean with conservatives like shutting down dennis prager it's like a what do you mean as far as well i'm trying to go about a company right okay i'm talking about a company you going into business with them yeah you can where you're a podcast you're free and independent right it's probably the only thing in the world where you can be completely free and independent and still reach millions of people it really is the only thing in the world but but but how what does google do what i'm saying google owns youtube right right and uh people like dennis prager a religious right guy is his show gets shut down on youtube what do you mean it's shut down he's suing he's suing google i didn't know about this yeah i know he does those shows with uh corolla i used to listen to him and i lived in
l.a he's a conservative religious jewish guy i've listened to him yes well they they consider it hate speech i mean that's that's why we're getting to a dangerous territory wait a minute i pull up uh what what happened to him because i'm i'm completely ignorant about this this is the first time i'm hearing about this oh this is going to go to the supreme court really i think so they pulled so they took his page down they said you can't have a page on youtube anymore yeah they say shut his show down do you remember what it was about not specifically but i know it was labeled hate and if you listen to this guy for 10 minutes he's the most congenial fair-minded uh you know but he's he's a you know uh religious guy do you know that doesn't fly do you know douglas maria's he's actually uh her who is it he's a he's a uh an intellectual from england who uh wrote about wrote the a book about
immigrants in europe called the strange death i think it's called islam and the strange death of europe and he's basically talking about how people from these countries that have immigrated into europe are changing the culture they're changing the culture and north africa there's all sorts of you know crimes and things that are happening that didn't exist before and people are developing these communities of like-minded people that didn't exist before no-go zones and and he's saying that this is you know this is fundamentally dangerous but he's saying it from a point a perspective of understanding the actual facts involved and talking about the situation and talking about how these are people that don't respect homosexuals they want to throw them off roofs and they have these rights they have these opinions about people that are extremely antiquated and not
aligned with european values in the modern western world right he and sam harris had a conversation and that conversation got flagged on youtube uh it got flat because someone put it up in their their you know you make like a little watch list what is it called what is it called the list you could will you put it on youtube on your channel where you could a playlist yeah so he puts it on his playlist and he gets a compute uh a community guideline strike against him for putting up this conversation between two intellectuals so i have this conversation with this lady at youtube and i said well why why would you do that why why does that she goes well it's hate speech i go it's hate speech okay you're talking about two intellectuals having a discussion about a real thing that's happening right now in europe and you're saying hate speech if you listen to the podcast there's no slurs used
just facts they're just same with prague but this is this was the way she said it because it's hate speech like you have you said that so easily yes you've never seen that that's a lot of power but it's also a lot of irresponsible power irresponsible use of power but but but but my point is they're cracking down on people who lean right whether it's twitter yes you know that's 100 true yeah and uh that's a big problem uh hate speech uh i'm we're gonna let google decide uh what's the name of the company that owns alphabet uh they're gonna decide what what i i brought that up on i brought that up on a tough crowd years ago about about when you disagree with a liberal or whatever you're arguing with they always go oh you're a hater they would keep saying that and that's what it turned into if you just disagreed you're a hater now it's you're a bigot or a racist if
you didn't agree with obama's policies you're a bigot or a racist and and that works that's been working for the left for years but now that the social media google controls almost all the information you and i hear every day i mean that's why it's so dangerous so look up yeah prague is the first example that comes to mind that guy excuse me um uh yeah because he's he's you know a christian or whatever but he's not he yeah he's jewish but looking it up it's it unless unless some what i just read was wrong they weren't from youtube at least they weren't deleted they were restricted put it like meaning like okay they shut down his show that uh the adult thing like you have to have an account that says you're 18 or older or something like that and they were fighting and having a lawsuit against that saying that what they have in their videos or not shouldn't be behind that
like that wall whatever that is they also then but this is my point you have to go to youtube to get the story hold on no i'm on their website i went to a couple different websites to see it but they were also like yesterday they had ads blacklisted from spotify so they had ads that were i guess initially approved and now they have been disapproved and they haven't really explained to them dennis prager's ads yeah well he's so annoying so but his page is still up you know corolla don't you yeah i believe ask him about it yeah i will but the youtube page is still up his show's not yet his show was shut down i'll check that they might have they might have taken it down by now this is like this is kind of from a couple months ago yeah yeah they shut him down so if you go to the dennis prager youtube channel it doesn't exist check it right now so the idea that they would make that 18
plus because it's conservative that's hilarious it's up this is it okay this is his channel bro prageru yeah that's okay but he's got a million subscribers a million nine hundred and forty shut his show down so they brought it back up is that what you're saying maybe that that's after he's gonna write a lot so they have a video up from an hour ago spotify bands prager from advertising okay google prague a lawsuit and that's what it was about it's about them being restricted yeah i am angry because we're not getting the full story here well i mean it's up right now it's he's uh he's suing him yeah no i believe you so my point being is these big big tech companies a crush and conservative well for the most part yes and here's a good way to look at it if you're going after a guy like dennis prager yeah who again is the most congenial guy never swears very very
mild-mannered very cool and calm and whether you agree with him or disagree with him right it's not the the way to go about something like this if you disagree with someone is not to shut them down exactly yeah and that's not happening well you know you saw the google memo you saw what happened with that guy when he provided all this information about one of the reasons why women don't get into tech and they labeled him as being a misogynist and a woman hater right like no he's giving you scientific studies that show that women have different interests is that lawrence summers you're talking about there's been a few since lawrence summers was actually the president of harvard and he was given a speech and and that's all he said he was he brought up the numbers as far as males going into science and math he didn't say women aren't good at it right and he got canned from harvard yeah
§05Transcript - 34:16 start
yeah you can't have anything that's fascism yeah if it disagrees with the orthodoxy they'll come down on you even if it's factual like james damore and you could clearly back it up you could look at the the actual numbers not only that that james de morgan i put a page and a half in there on strategies for encouraging women to get an attack i mean if he was a real messiah he was working for google google yes he's the google memo right that was what started off because all these intellectuals came to his side they go look why are we doing all this research if you guys completely ignore it every time it comes up right like you're pretending that this research is not valid this research is it's it's scientific information that shows that certain types of people are more interested in different things we've known that forever that's why boy toys and girl toys are different because
boys and girls like different i mean it's basically a more complex version of that and he's essentially saying women like different things it doesn't mean that they can't the only difference between the sexes is socially constructed obstacles well gender issues gender itself it is they should come here and take a look at your place that would shut him shut the argument it's all male male gender i've got some female stuff here from when my kids come over tell them what you said to me when i say what a great place oh this is what happens when women don't get to tell you what to do you have a place you have a warehouse of mail but this looks that's not i'm a nice guy that's not bad and the problem is in this society male energy male thinking male and it is vilified and you're you're taught to think there's something wrong with being masculine being masculine is the reason why we
don't speak german okay stop uh exactly talk about toxic masculinity you could you'll be the poster boy for that well the whole reason why you need male people is because there's male people other places that will take away your and kill your people and exactly this is not a bad thing male does not equal evil just because there are evil men they are evil men doesn't mean all men are evil there's evil women too it doesn't mean all women are evil i dated three of them i bet you dated more than three let's be honest yeah no you're absolutely right yeah and but this toxic masculinity is this hilarious like you said really world war two how about that turned out well there's just so many dumb phrases like that you know yeah well they're made up do you know about heteronormative uh i'm sure i have you know cisgender cisgender yes heteronormative yeah yeah like you're imposing the norms
like as if heterosexuality is normal well did you see what was the story a couple days ago it was in california here a beautiful state of california they're trying to the heat you can't say he or she it's they now what yeah where everywhere uh exactly hannah something jackson he uh yeah now you have to say they nope and they were passing it they had her in the the meeting uh the actual uh town hall of city wherever they're passing the ordinance and at the end she goes my my grandma my grammar teacher wouldn't approve of this she's rolling around but we won't hear from her she said her and somebody called her out on it and she was passing the bill i was of course you look like new ginger there she is california state senator bans the use of he and she during committee hearings oh look at her with her perfect liberal haircut newt gingrich's haircut oh my god some
people sharp howard's face some people are just hilarious but they called her out she's trying to do a good thing they had a laugh about it but uh that is so funny who the does she look like oh my god we wouldn't be hearing from her well you made me jackson was then interrupted by listeners who corrected her usage and demand stop stop go back corrected her usage and go demand that she use the word they or them they demand it see this is the problem with all this yes it's demanding they're trying to control people they're telling people what to do and what not to do and it's about power a lot of this stuff is about power they're imposing their world viewing on you but it's not even their world view it's not real what it is is they're just deciding that this is a thing that they're going to agree to and they're gonna force other people to comply it's half the game half the game is just
getting people to comply well you do that by and you start with language you control people's behavior through language which is the definition of political correctness yes well that's what carlin always said that fascism is just political correctness with good manners our critical correctness is fascism with good manners yeah how about we saw the clip of louis at governors when he was talking about this how the you know the the millennials whoever demanding what we call them yes they are them and he goes okay he goes okay i'm a location yeah he's your mother's then he goes i gotta come up with something more clever not as harsh whatever yeah i'm a location your mother yeah what did you think about all that stuff getting leaked well about louise you know stanhope had a really good point about that what did dougie say doug was saying like look if this was a movie if you
took that movie and filmed it in the movie theater and then put it online you would be uh you'd go to jail that's right you're a criminal right you're stealing right you're exposing you're you're ruining his work yes but they think they can ruin his work because he jerked off in front of some people i don't even know if it's that i don't even know if the person that leaked it like was a louis hater sometimes it seems like a fan they were laughing hard yes it's like they had their phone on their table i was at uh it wasn't governors it was the brokerage which is the same owners a few years ago and i'm up there doing my and working on a new hour i looked down and the kid about 56th row i see him i see the red light yeah and he's got his head down so i come down off the stage he doesn't even hear me and i grabbed the phone out of his hand deleted i go dude you came out because
you're a fan of mine right i go the problem i explained it to him the whole crowd the problem with this is if you put this online i'm working on news that's old material right you're burning my you get it yeah to all the other fans that listen to it for sure and also it's not fair because these bits are never done like if you want to release it half baked like when when you first start working on a bit you have a premise you get kind of an idea where it's going of course yeah and then it eventually becomes a bit that you would put on a special right yeah and they get it halfway or a quarter yeah and it looks shitty and and and it's or if it's done if you're doing a bit that's complete yeah they it becomes old well that was some of the things that people were saying about louis that the the material is sloppy it's not like his old stuff yeah he's working on
the old stuff you saw when it was done like if you came to the store and saw him working on a set like a few years back you would see the same kind of stuff i got a couple comments like that when i put my last special out there like well he's doing the same stuff well you came out to see me eight ten months ago when i was working on it yeah it's it's it's uh something in process they don't understand though because it seems like when you're on stage and it's coming off the top of your head and it seems like you're doing something that they can do you're just talking oh i know you're just talking i could talk it's like there's no other art form like that where it's just talking that's exactly right nobody yells at a concert nobody sh other you know i could play bass bet on that jerk off yeah you know i mean but it's stand up so people have you know because people have made their
friends laugh well i think seinfeld saw their book years ago because you know you make your friends laugh everybody's made their friends laugh with your comic and you're like oh i can do i call people out when they look bored with me or they have their arms folded i go do it you got that smug look in your face i know you could do this too but you'd rather work at the mattress factory 80 hours a week and making hundred dollars there's people out there working at the mattress factory right now listening to this going man you nuked them them whoa hey how about you just ignore the guy that's uh two thousand dollars for a mattress joking weird well i know you make a mattress how much can i pay you to make a mattress i don't know what am i getting at the comedy palace tonight in san diego probably i have to pay you a lot of money to build me a mattress but but you said it they get that on
§06Transcript - 42:41 start
their face you have to pay for the phone stitch it all together get the out of here you think making the mattress be easy please i could form laying all over the house start with my wife's boobs oh come on where do you get this coffee it's delicious it's good right i think this is black rifle black rifle i love that name it's racist oh it's not it's a gun metal it's a company of veterans it makes sense you got coffee yeah i got a flag they sent me uh when i did the afghanistan uso thing guy sent me a flag that they used in battle nice you have it folded up and uh i had it hanging but then i made a gym out of my whatever so i don't know where it is well i should probably find it i should probably put it back up shouldn't i yeah sorry i brought that up don't worry about it um the louis ck set you know was very similar in my opinion to all the that he did before he got in trouble
absolutely very similar absolutely same kind of material same way he does things i mean people forget that this is a guy who went on saturn live and did a joke about pedophiles yeah and about you know maybe we should like let them get away with it so they don't kill your kids i mean this guy was up it's a up bit but he was the darling of the left back then and yeah he was allowed to get away with that yes if he tried to do that same material if he hadn't done that then and instead did that now people would be horrified what is it joe about offending women or today's feminists what they are at the in my opinion all this political correctness that we hate so much shutting down they are at the core of it well people the the i say this the the zeitgeist of the times is like a fat chicks emotions wow very sensitive uh you can't you can't cross them well it's also
because people are realizing now that they can make an impact one of the things that i read because he's doing this thing in uh pittsburgh he was doing the improv in pittsburgh and this uh lady who wrote the article wrote that he's making people put their cell phones in bags much like comedians dave chappelle and joe rogan do she used my name too you duda i've done it before but i only did it when i was filming my netflix special so i didn't want people putting the material out right before i was releasing the special and then afterwards i decided it was too much of a pain in the ass but the only reason why i was doing it it had nothing to do with she said because they know words can offend yeah and they don't want the consequences well i'm gonna put it on netflix anyways it's going to be out to the public it's just offensive it's gonna if you're looking to get offended
go watch my netflix special there's plenty in there for you but i i need to be able to do it correctly like i'm i want to work it out so that it has the maximum amount of laughs with the minimum amount of of people getting it the wrong way right so this it's all about wording and setting it up right and listening to it and going maybe there's a better way and you can't do that if somebody releases your so these people that don't know comedy and they're saying this like you have no idea what the process is like you just don't and if you if you do you would respect it and appreciate it right and the people that are comics that don't respect and appreciate the process like that's where we are now but it's just because people can make an impact they can have a reaction just like the people yelling at her you know that that she said she said oh my grandmother would be rolling over in her
grave say they in them say they in them they're just trying to get a reaction from you they're just trying to push buttons they're just knowing that they can say something and they can have some sort of an impact we're going to get louis c.k banned from here you know we're going to get nick apollo kicked out of this club you can't come to this club you talk negatively about women and women's empowerment and that's dangerous to girls i only get kicked out of one place and of course one of the best clubs in the country what club then but comedy works oh you got kicked out of the comedy works like 20 something years ago for what well it was a bad try party ruining the middle guys set the the mc set and then i went up my second time there i think that's a great club and they started yelling out take off your shirt your dick and i said can we throw these fat out

more dour oh you know previously sour previous conversations we've had i was faking it i was faking it came along and i get this off my chest the light and cheeriness remember my bit i had a great bit about immigration how it was like having a big party but you had to contribute to the party remember the better it's one of my albums the irish brought the booze the italians brought the food oh okay i do remember that remember yeah yeah yeah and the mexicans said we'll clean up afterwards you know yep people loved it and uh but no i look i defend latinos all the time on my show they're like italians we're at the turn of the century yes hard-working and when you watch the news and you see a lot of people dying you know fighting for us a lot of latino names in there oh i'm a big fan that's not the problem you know so but i don't think you should be labeled a bigot if you believe in you know
securing the borders and it's not immoral how about all the heroin coming over is that a lie too i mean well you know how they're doing that over there did you pay attention to the chapo trial they're bringing in some cargo ships most of it's coming over in cars is there yeah from the sopranos they said eight out of ten cargo ships never get chopped yes yes i remember that apparently that's true i was talking to a guy was a longshoreman about that he's like they don't know what the in those things i know and that creepy one of them is going to blow up that's the don't give them any idea they already have these ideas they call me up and said that's not a bad idea how did you get punched who why did that lady punch you it was a 20 year old uh bipolar girl uh i was at levity live i did a show came off stage went into the green room for a few minutes and then came back out and i was
standing to the left of the stage and i i don't always shake hands and do all that after the show i just don't feel it's in the job description sometimes i'll do it sometimes i want but some people started coming up to me shaking hands taking pictures and this guy approaches me so look like you a little bit uh stands to my right and he goes can i get a picture and i go sure stand to my right i'm looking at him talking to him he's like yeah i enjoyed the show but my daughter wanted to punch you in the face he didn't even finish the word face and i get suckered from this i didn't even know she was in the room all sudden bam whoa and i mean bam i mean you know i was i don't know if you ever get suckered uh i could feel the eye closing immediately you know and i looked right at him this is how good my instincts were even when i was in shock i go did you just set me up no it's
nothing like that man he didn't jump in and he didn't jump in and and go to his daughter what are you doing you know it was kind kinda i to this day believe it was complicit uh he was complicit in it but uh i'm still pursuing it what did she do she i finally looked at her i go why why'd you why'd you do that because you're mean she thought i was racist and sexist meanwhile there was a table of black people dominican it was a very diverse crowd absolutely loved it coming to my defense after that happened nobody got offended even a friend of mine who seen me a million times because you weren't even being that political that night that's she had birkenstocks on and you know bipolar and and and uh i'm still pursuing it and the guy didn't apologize nothing he was he didn't apolog but he i said you just said no i didn't man it's it's nothing like that you know
i she said i shouldn't have brought here brought her here but you did you weaponized your bipolar daughter is what you did i believe they sat down at the table before they left the house he knows what i did for comedy and he hated he didn't have the balls to do it himself you think yeah that's what i think look at you it works so i'm gonna work with those kettlebells before i leave here i'm gonna find this i'm gonna get you on a bike and get you to burn off some energy jesus christ it might be this is my rifle coffee i love this veteran-owned coffee it's very potent i want to contribute well anything veterans do i got some bags for you i'll get you some it's great stuff but yeah so the hike you had the funniest this is what's funny about it for years people tell me to you know keep your temper in check you know you'll up your career you don't but i've been hearing that for
years after this happened they're all going why didn't you hit her back why don't you i i you you texted me like the next day or that night i can't remember and you said you go this made me laugh for five minutes you go joe goes i thought joe's gonna good thing he didn't hit her show cause i would have leg whipped her which made me laugh so hard because she's this frail thing and if you leg whipped her you would have taken her legs clear off like a helicopter blade i was belly laughing for five you were leg whipping this leg kicker yeah i don't think i would have said it i thought you said okay excuse me well you gotta um you can't let someone punch you the real problem is like someone even a garbage yeah i saw you in the parking lot that clip of you in the poc well i have a permanent dent in my face yeah you can see it i have a permanent dent i don't she had a ring on really there's a
§08Transcript - 60:33 start
little dent there yeah she probably had a ring on yeah you someone could hit you i never went down just good for you that would have been embarrassing you you could lose your vision i mean that's 100 possible happens to people i had a slight concussion she really caught me flying i'm not shocked especially if you didn't know what would you have done i don't know i hope i wouldn't have done what i think i would i know because you could lose a lot of i know you get insurance for that my the real problem is when you're not thinking when you get hit and then you immediately respond that's a real problem because look you've seen that video that giant six foot five guy who punched that 11 year old girl in the face yes she had a comment she well she definitely shouldn't have walked up to where it was and she definitely shouldn't have pushed him first but he definitely shouldn't
have punched her in the face this big giant guy i know yeah with a nice shot you don't want you don't want to punch a girl you don't want to hit a girl and i did you don't you don't want to go into that reptilian part of your brain either that just responds to being assaulted no that was killed that's very dangerous i saw you that remember that clip years ago you were in the parking lot and the the comedy store arguing some bride oh that feminist lady she was just mean i thought you were gonna well they're all i was trying to be nice to the meanest people on the earth i was nice to that lady for a long time until she's finally telling me she's gonna she's gonna hit me with her cigarette i'm like listen you're not doing anything i know i was watching what's gonna happen next it's just so stupid that people think they can get away with things like that well they can
apparently if you were alone in a parking lot with that girl and she punched in the face like that what if i even cracked her there what if i i said this and i've been making this point you want true gender equality yeah if we had it i could have knocked her the out and everybody went you know what she had it coming yeah we all went home well there you showed amazing restraint and not hitting her back because i wasn't drinking and what oh what if you were drinking i would have probably wrestled her at least cuffed her yeah fire slap yeah yeah i would have gave her from behind though a dirty one oh a dirty one yeah i would have came from here you ever see that if it's that video there's a there's a kid a black kid walking down the street and some black neighbor and he's rapping or some and this black kid walks up behind like in a wife beater and winds up from his with an open hand
it would blow your ears out if you had the headphones yeah but i uh i was proud of myself and that's why i was laughing after the incident of people i know who've been telling me you know you know too cool or whatever you should keep you they were all like yeah shut up body slap my arch like you should have her up uh i was so proud of myself for once that i was you know i was the adult in the room and i i i you know i know in the times we're living in it wouldn't matter the circumstance if toxic masculinity if if i croaked her well um i don't know man if somebody punches you and you punch him back i don't know what the rules are oh i do i mean she's obviously very small that would have been a real problem because she's small but you shouldn't be hitting people now what you said you were working on it like you're still in the middle of it like what's going on with it uh yes i uh
i'm pursuing it and they it's just so you can tell they don't give a the d.a was a woman in that county and now she's off the case for some reason they shuffle the um but they went they you know it should be assault aggravated but of course you can't go because if you don't get that i can't sue her civilly if i lost that it would hurt my case at least that's the logic they were telling me so they're trying to get her with like second degree harassment and now they're there's a new woman on the case and she said they're making her go to you know anger management and because she has mental issues and uh i'm not looking for money i just want to make an example of her so but why don't why not pursue it as assault it's clearly assault i know you well you tell me so is your lawyer's decision to not pursue it no nobody first of all nobody wanted to take the case because i'm fine really yeah
they're like wow your site's not up you're not in a wheelchair you're not but yeah i give the lawyers credit for that much they're honest it's all about the money but that's crazy but i found the guy this guy andrew funk was a lawyer who was a marine and i said to he he contacted me and he put me in touch first with a russian woman who who took about three of my calls and she got tired because there was no money involved and then he hooked me up with another guy uh another lawyer who right now i'm dealing with but um yeah they were all right up front that the the if there's no money involved and you're not permanently you're not gonna you know but i just i don't want money and this guy sort of agreed with me this andrew funkai is a marine he just wants to make an example right she said i was racist and sexist you know uh so i just want to make an exam i'm not
looking for money but it's her father that really pisses me off she's nuts how old is she's broad it's not it's like 20 21 goes to a school in upstate new york so she's not that nut she lives on her own but it's the old man that was complicit in it i think he actually used her as like a weapon that night it seems like it would be way harder to prove that she was that he was complicit and it would be to i agree that she punched you no i agree did she apologize ever never she she ran up into the lobby which is where you normally where you take pictures with fans and she she she put her head on the table was crying after she realized what she'd done or whatever you know they took her to like a psychiatric hospital so they're saying well you know you know so i just want to make an example of her that's all i i don't i'm not looking for but but uh you know that's ridiculous
and the next time i will hit back you think yeah don't no no wait a minute you're confusing me now it's too little well give me a kick that would just like hurt her ovaries all three of them go for a knee go for the knee knee of the would be how you damage i don't want to lose my knee i just would say don't hit her but man you're not gonna hit him i wasn't raised in the future if somebody does that no i'm not i would i would never well you've been proven stabbing or you prove it because you haven't done it you didn't do it you had the ultimate opportunity somebody actually hit you you didn't hit them it's one of my proudest moments yeah you should should be proud of that i've been amazing did you ever get into it with a fan or somebody in the audience no i've been in twice one time the comment store got through a drink at me holy yeah and how did you restrain yourself um i don't remember
i essentially invited him to get killed how'd you do that come on come on up here come on up here i'll show you what's up some there's him and his dad they were heckling everybody before the show um before i got on stage rather they were heckling everybody this is a long time ago it's probably 2003 2004. and but he knows who you are and he knows he's just a he just he just threw it my way you know he wanted to get famous well he didn't even want to get famous there was no social media back then not to speak of people weren't getting famous or things like that put in the paper he's just a drunk who was interrupting comedy and the comedy store back then had zero um protection there was nobody police in the cloud crowd room right no no crowd control at all but yeah it's it's an issue with people they're drinking right and especially if you get crazy people that
are drinking you know weird stuff can happen it's unfortunate yeah it's just you know people that don't have respect for performers too they don't have respect for what you're doing that it's difficult and if they disagree with you they think they're disagreeing even if if it's just a j you don't even know where the joke is going they'll interrupt and they'll yell stuff out and they've just no no regard for the forum that you're in the fact there's hundreds of other people that are there to see you it's about their mind and their selfish notion that they want to get out right away and they and they have no idea how little it takes to throw off the balance of the room oh yeah just a slight confrontation just see just telling somebody to shut up and all of a sudden like you're the bad guy and a lot of times it's somebody right up front so they can't hear yeah you know and then
§09Transcript - 68:57 start
it looks like you're just scolding somebody for no reason yeah i've had that too and i'm super sensitive somebody farts in the 52nd row i can hear it or whatever i am i just have that you know yeah well you know i've learned i've tuned into the crowd i've affected you know exactly yeah exactly i mean because you do you study what's going on uh you read their faces and whatnot and i'm really good at it and if i see one person laughing out of 600 or not left yeah you've always been like no but i fixed it i fixed it i fixed it years ago well after about 12 clubs said listen you got to stop doing i did but you know what i am so much better and and not hitting her approved it i now i i uh i had a brawl breakout that had nothing to do with me at gotham a couple years ago what was it about two tables were fighting amongst each other oh i heard about this it was hilarious talk about
hitting a girl i just stood on the stage i i love it i felt like lenny bruce who the comics have a lot of punk in us you know i but i didn't start this the brawl breaks out i'm watching it two tables girls and guys there's a girl in the middle with her fists up like she took three tybo class tabo classes she's and she takes a swing and hits one of the bounces i watch this other bouncer come across the room and drop her like a used rubber i mean hit her like she was a guy really oh my god i don't know how this guy didn't do jail time but these broads this is what this feminist movement is taking them now they jump in every time you see a fight at a football game that stands as women involved and they really think i'm sorry but legislation you can't legislate the the dna out of us and uh they're always in the middle of it you notice that a lot of broads think they can duke it out now
well there are a bunch right they have a delete at all but yeah yeah they've seen too many wonder woman movies well exactly they've been brainwashed well there's a lot of people in general that think they could go around punching people like how about all these uh antifa dorks that are uh at least show your face well they're not like that they're starting fights with people they have zero idea how to fight they're swinging at people did you see the one guy a guy swings at this guy with a bat yeah or with a baton the guy uh catches the baton he punches him in the face and ko's him and his head snaps back and his head bounces off the concrete when he falls down it's awful to watch like what the made you think you could just hit a man with a stick because you guys disagree with each other yeah and and you're right when they interview them after a lot of times they not even after
a fight but they interview somebody who's in tv they sound like almost squishy yeah some of them swishy like homosexuals so you're saying no yeah weak or feminine well they're they want to become a look look the antifa is just like any other group of people they they they give you a community whether it's a gang or whether it's uh what a criminal organization or what you know what whatever it is people fall in line with the sensibilities of that organization and then you do what you can to support that organization to show that you're a valued member and then you know you start wearing their ski masks and hitting people with sticks and everybody's practicing karate in the park because they think they're going to be able to defend themselves the whole thing is ridiculous but because their life has no value outside of that well isn't it weird that look my parents were hippies and
when i grew up i always thought that people on the left were peace loving that was what the the the knock was they were peace loving well educated but you're seeing now people on the left like these certain factions of them not all of them but are people that are calling for violence they're violent pacifists ironically yes well they don't want to do it themselves but they're calling for other people to do right yeah right they're calling for people to get punished like that kid with the maga hat like raza ozil on ron have you ever seen a more punchable face yeah what the are you saying yeah you know it's like this extreme lack of empathy for young people too like young people that that don't fall in line with their ideas they don't give a they're like that kid punch them throw them in jail lock them up it's just like it's there's a lack of empathy and a lack of thought
behind it it's it's very and social media is only throwing gas on that yes and then you got these russian accounts that are firing this up on both sides that are attacking from the left and the right i think that's a way bigger issue than people think i think these these troll farms and these people that are setting up these fake accounts and just getting people riled up maybe i think there's a lot of lemmings out there and a lot of people just price you they fall into these arguments like how many people do you know that get involved in twitter arguments and then they they they stew with those arguments all day they keep checking their mentions they're getting heavily involved with that if someone can get you involved in that like if the russians can get a group of dummies involved in that kind of dispute they could literally change the way people are interacting with with each other
they're making the interactions more aggressive more violent so you think it's the russian i think it has something to do with it i think there's a polarization between the left and the right period but i think they are definitely trying to yeah this this thing that i was reading or that listening to rather this sam harris podcast very interesting because they're talking about the what we actually know about the data and where it's coming from and how these people are doing this and how they're setting these things up yeah that guy the comic that you and i talked about um again that clip of this russian who's a former kgb guy who defected to this country explaining how it works looking back in the 80s yeah explaining exactly how it works and what he was saying this is 30 something years ago 35 years ago is going down exactly the way he explained it and putin is a kgb guy
oh christian yeah i mean that's this idea that trump's working with him is silly well i don't know about that i don't think he's working with him to undermine democracy but i definitely think they've got some business dealings i mean they were offering the internet that's not illegal the penthouse and trump that's not illegal none of that is illegal don't take that from me take that from alan dershowitz i don't smarter than both of us i'm not saying it's illegal but i don't think that he was honest about that he said i don't do any dealings with russia i don't have any business with russia and he definitely did that's just not true well we'll see we'll see that's with the targeting they're not gonna get him for anything you don't think so you think he's gonna just well maybe impeachment but even on on what k i don't even know what they get in my high crimes and misdemeanors i
don't i don't know what what he's done to talk about building a tower in moscow is not illegal what to have business and what he what did he lie about specifically well there's a lot like what we could pull it up let's let's find out all the things what are you gonna go to salon.com you can go to a billion million different websites well i know okay which one's good we just established that the the social media tilts left so yes social media does we're not talking about pulling up social media pages what are you pulling up i don't know actually i'm going to ask i'm like i'm not a trump scholar i haven't i don't have at my disposal all the different times that he lied but it's a lot so what do you think is going to happen to him you think they'll impeach him you mean no or he'll resign or what i don't know look i'm not i'm not claiming to be any sort of an expert in legal proceedings i
have no idea either that's why i quoted dershowitz yeah i think well isn't dershowitz working with trump no giuliani is oh that's right i always go to dartschwitz because he's a lib trump average 15 and actually he's gonna miss truce a day in 2018. almost triple the rate from a year before okay but hold on a second what's the inaccuracies in myths truths it's a european paper yeah but isn't that a little odd 15 a day no because i don't know who's making that claim i don't know the exact 15 inaccuracies you you doubt that it's true you think it's all a lie that it just made up the fact that he lies a lot ab lies about what first of all it's a definition of a lie i don't know let's see it says washington post who they hate uh who hates jesus yeah who absolutely said the president made one but that's my point 989 such claims in 2018 by the last day of 2018. you're
§10Transcript - 77:03 start
going to the washington post 17. that's my point but what but let's see what it says i mean they can't lie the total figures risen to 7 600. so you think they just made up all these lives not all of them i'm sure but you could you could go back with hillary and count you could go to uh go to fox news and then put all pull up an article how many times hillary was inaccurate do you know what a what about ism is what about ism yeah when someone talks about something and instead of refuting it with facts they go yeah well what about hillary what about bill bill did it too what about this what about that are you going to you're going to tell me what about ism that's what i just committed that was what about because you were saying that hillary clinton but you both agree but you're making my point you're going to the washington post okay that's just jamie pulled up the independent no i
we could go we could go anywhere but hold on a second yeah look i'm with you i think hillary's a liar i think she deleted 30 000 emails i think it's criminal i think that right the clinton foundation is a a fully illegal organization i think they rigged the dnc i think they they they rigged the primaries against i'm with you i'm not a supporter no i'm not saying you are but when's the last time somebody made a statement like that and said this many inaccuracies when bill clinton was in office or i don't think he lied or hillary i'm sure of her i'm sure there was some inaccuracies but first of all when bill clinton was in office they weren't do they count obama's i don't know but that's a what about ism you know i'm saying we're just talking about trump you were saying that trump doesn't lie and they're saying he lies i'm not saying he doesn't lie first of all he said what is he like no
first of all you know i like to know the definition of a lie if he misstates something do you think he does it right i'm sure sometimes when you're talking that much okay so if he lies one thousand yeah give me an example of a blatant yeah that's it's a washington post it's horseshit i don't know i do you think no he's a bullshitter for sure yes but but joe would you argue that they haven't been trying to take him down since he came down that escalator how about the deep state how about the how about the dossier why is anybody know what does that mean the dossier what dossier the fake dossier christopher steele that they used to get the the fisa explain to people what you're talking about i just did they know what i'm talking about no no no no they don't they don't because i don't know what do you mean the dossier the fake josh remember they said they know
what he's talking about they had yes they had you have to know this so you're being willfully ignorant no i don't know nick i don't know okay i'm explaining hold on a second do you know i've heard these are terms i've heard yes and it's stuff but you don't know the full extent yeah well this is what i'm talking about this is as big a story as anything trump has done what is the story the steele dossier that hillary used they went to he had to get a a application from the fisa courts and they went they used dnc opposition christopher steele who was a british guy had connections in russia remember when they said trump was at a hotel and watching girls peeing on each other yes that was all in the steele dossier christopher steele is his name they used that in their application to get a fisa warrant to spy on trump during his campaign that's fact that's
not me being a right winger that is fact okay so but the fact that that like that you don't know that no i remember that now oh that that's what i'm talking about but that's the biggest story as trump you know lying about the number of people at his inauguration i want to know the i want to know a lie from trump that's uh equal equal in power as like when obama said you know a lot about health care that you could keep your health care and all that give me an example of trump with that big of a lie well listen i told you he does lie i'm not saying he doesn't all presidents lie all politicians lie i'm just saying they start to count it when trump took over they started keeping you know well because you've been so like what give me an example like look we just showed you all the numbers of the washington post from the washington post so if i give you another example
you're going to say oh that's yeah well if you go to salon go to salon.com all right we'll go to i don't know what you're going to have gotten more done than any other administration okay this is a lie so true blah blah blah see now so if somebody says that's a lie well let's see what it's at jamie go back to it what are you doing but who's saying that's a lie well let's see let's see let's see what it says jesus christ you're so defensive it's like do you work for the organization no i don't but you're putting you i'm saying you're using the washington post no this isn't the washington post what is it in the city oh the nbc okay nbc okay so that look man i'm just reading what's in front of me i know and i'm just you're so emotional about this this is ridiculous four cups of coffee we should have two huh oh please look you know i'm right i don't know your immediate what
we're talking about you're gonna tell me you don't know that the mainstream media hates trump are you gonna i do why would you put your because i want to know whether or not they are saying what is fact stop stop doing that jamie go back to where it was you can't go says trump later said that he intended the un moment to garner a laugh that has repeated this claim seriously since okay so he says that my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of the country so this is just right and people were laughing when he said that and so he was saying that he meant to say it as a laugh okay uh there are varying measures of success but it's not true that his administration has been more successful than any other administration in history when it comes to legislation trump has signed plenty of bills in his first two years as
president but barack obama in his first two years has significantly more signed significantly more okay this is just one thing i mean i'm sure there's many many other things absolutely going over and over again i'm with you i'm not saying she's not a bullshitter but i'm just saying all of a sudden they keep score when when trump he's no more of a lie to keep score because he lied so much well who's keeping who is keeping scroll and hillary with secretary of state well it's a senator in washington secretary of state and i don't know how much she lied as opposed to how much her lies are a lot bigger about her server and about the steele dossier that that is huge that is getting undercovered like nobody's been that that dwarfs watergate when they unmask general flynn that that that dwarfs watergate um that's an interesting com uh conversation i don't know if that's the
truth i don't know enough about watergate all right but i don't even if you were that will be fine but you i'm not you're not against me but i'm just saying to call trump a bigger lie than the every other politician is an exaggeration i don't know by the mainstream media who hates his guts i think most politicians are liars i think they're absolutely accustomed to doing that but i think the way he lies is unusual i think it's the number one unusual it's just an unusual you don't think so he he exaggerates like statements like that is an exaggeration although he did do a lot in his first couple years would never get credit for it you know unless you watched fox news you're not gonna but um would you agree that as you get older you become more like more conservative no i was always a bit of a dick i got a tattoo of mixing in my house i thought it was funny yes no i would
say that was that's a what do they say about if you're young you know if you're young and conservative you have no no no heart yeah old and liberal yeah something like that yeah i would say uh that's true but i could always detect the you know i mean i mean i remember watching cnn in an airport when i first started comedy that's like 1988 you know and getting excited at some of the well it's interesting because uh i i don't disagree with you on everything and i love you as a person you're a great guy i like you a lot always happy to see you but yet you and i here get a little heated talking about this stuff but this is politics this is how divisive politics are even a person like but i would never i would never i would never leave here going i don't do that show again i hate joe i i've known each other we've known each other for 30 years yeah you know it's not that's not the problem
§11Transcript - 85:31 start
what i'm saying is i'm just using this example of how divisive politics oh absolutely when people talk but i'm not afraid of it no you know i mean a lot of people are right yes yeah i i'm not afraid of it a lot of people are afraid of bad vibes and bad feelings then this is one of the things but this is one of the things that makes people toe the line right the fear of this kind of altercation the fear of this kind of like you don't want that from inside your party so you right you start using they and them you start thinking that everyone should be able to use any bathroom that they feel like they identify with you start you start going along the line it's one of the more interesting things about politics is that if you tell me that you're a republican i can kind of guess your stance on god i can kind of guess your stance on being pro-life or pro-choice second amendment rights it's
like all those things sort of fall in line and it's very interesting it's very interesting how you you sort of adopt not you but people sort of adopt a whole group of things when you decide you're a republican you decide you're a democrat right i don't but see i don't think i fall into that um how do you feel about guns do you name what got any guns yeah how many got one just one yeah i i'm not a big gun guy uh as far as abortion uh that i'm i'm i don't want to say pro-choice but i'm not i'm not pro-life one of the big reasons is if you like i got a dad who's dying of alzheimer's watching them it's the saddest thing if i could kill him tomorrow and put him out of his misery i would i think he could take him to oregon the states that allow that there's states um that uh allow people to um i think can i go over state lines with them is it like taking a teenage girl
no there was a girl who was dying of cancer who uh went to oregon for that very reason yeah they're um oregon is one of those i want to s i might be saying it wrong but i think the idea is a right to a dignified death no you're right just read about it yeah um look man the idea that you're supposed to just keep staying alive until your heart stops beating when you're silly horrible pain silly it's it's it's evil you get don't do what you do i had to put my dog down okay i love this dog i've had them for 13 years and i had to put them down because you couldn't walk anymore did you chuck them up i brought them to a place you know they they actually came to my house actually and they put them down sad but but you can't do that for a 98 year old man who's falling apart you have to let him eventually stop breathing right you know which is sad all the rights you go out the window
that should be your first right it's your goddamn life yeah so that's why i couldn't be like pro choi a pro you know pro-life or whatever uh and that and i got girls pregnant when i was younger and i was glad there was a planned parenthood or whatever it was yeah the guy in the alley with a stick i think his name was dave so i don't but in showbiz joe you know it is in show biz because it's a pretty liberal business if if you're like if you're uh right on two of ten issues like you're like a nazi right you know i mean i get called alt-right adjacent it's my favorite oh my god they keep coming up with well you can't call me all right because i'm pretty left-wing i'm mostly yeah yeah they call so they call me alt-right adjacent probably because i have people like you on now i'm going to be more alt-right adjacent because you cause you isn't that silly you have me on to you know your
listeners probably you know like you're like listen to this guy i don't agree with anything that should be a feather in your cap and they're going to hold that against you yeah which is silly well you know it's not rational but again it's people trying to have an effect on you they're trying to have an effect they're trying to make some waves trying to do something they're writing blogs or creating videos but they're doing it to try to put pressure on you it's interesting though it's weird it's weird from a psychological perspective you're looking at it from the outside you know it's it's just it's disconcerting when it's happening to you but when you you can step back and look at it like it's interesting it's like these systems are opposing each other and they're trying to figure out where the weaknesses are and how to how to push to affect the other side
yeah and and it's not and it's not just left right you know it's bigger than that so you know what was the book i read um what's the place where they go to meet every year bohemian grove wilderberg group bilderberg group that was one of my favorite books the truth about the bilderberg group and um what goes on there and the powerful people that meet and uh people always say there's probably ten guys in a room that run the whole well okay but you show me them until then i'll stay in the left right fight and have fun right the idea is that there's ten guys that control everything and they don't give a if it's left or right they're just about money it's yeah the rocket fellas were involved and and they but it's weird that was relic creep they planned out decades ahead yeah they planned on education yeah decades ahead though and and it comes true like they write a sitcom script that
that lasts for 15 years with plot points it was that book was incredible i can't remember the author's name but um yeah but i don't i don't i don't mind i used to sit at the table at the comedy cellar that's how tough crowd came about me and patrice yelling at each other about racial tough crowd was a great show but i really am worried that you couldn't have a show like that i know you should be yeah no now i'm let me ask you and i'm not taking left right but who would be to blame for that that that's why i lean right and i think and you do in some areas you're in a i mean you're an artist you're a stand-up i cannot be i cannot vote with a party that is for censorship right and and for group think did we ever find out what's going on with dennis prager did we get a line on that is that still bothering you no no i just i it does bother me because i like the guy he's
great he's i don't agree with him on a lot of things but he seems like a very nice guy and i like adam i do too both those guys there's a lawsuit he's bringing a lawsuit that uh they think it's gonna go a long way there's because they were labeling his show as hate speech maybe it's back up or whatever but i know that story you can find that anywhere there's a real concern that the ideologies behind these tech companies all go in one direction and they have the overwhelming control of the narrative because of the fact that yes they're all what we're we're getting all of our information most people are getting it on their phones most people are getting a lot of their media on their phones like netflix said something like 50 of the people that watch my special watch it on a phone that's amazing i mean that's crazy the people are so all this stuff is coming from these tech
companies doesn't that didn't that kind of bother you that it's the phone because when i hear that not that it matters with my specials but um uh when i picture somebody watching something on my phone you don't have the full attention they're doing other things mm-hmm yeah i mean as opposed to sitting in front of their computer or the tv yeah they kind of bug you you put all that work into it and they're they're on the subway watching it i don't pay attention to what i can't control i don't it makes me nuts yeah you gotta get over that that's where the mushrooms come in all right well i'm going to love it i'm going to have to try that i have a little one i'll give you a little one just so once not today i got to drive to san diego oh it's perfect me in traffic mushrooms what time is your show i know i'm going to be what time time's your show uh 7 30. it's four i pulled it

§13Transcript - 102:41 start
seven too many to look after folks you should see the place we're gonna be doing joe's show um yeah the gym outside it's a nice gym uh i like texas i'm a big fan of texas i live in texas i think i'd live in colorado first though yeah yeah weed not just weed mountains you like them huh i love the way what it does for you there's something about being around mountains that uh it um i was actually reading something about this there's a an actual thing that happens to people when you're faced with immense natural beauty that it diminishes your ego and yourself and it puts people in you know puts you in a handgun perspective being around mountains it's humbling sure you're around them it's it's beautiful it's like the best looking art you could ever see it's like a gorgeous mountain with some green hills and the sun coming out of the clouds like it's well that's good good to look at is
anything that's ever existed like i'm i'm not very religious i don't know i haven't made up my mind but when i see stuff like that is when i get kind of you want to make up your mind i got something right here for you what is that mushrooms i know that's exactly what they're for bro how about joe if i i can imagine if i took these and did the show before just take a little one like this not that nobody's got to get hurt just a little water jam you do that just a little one i don't know i don't want to be giggling in the car on the way down i'm throwing up on myself it'll be fine what's it do what's going to happen i want to get out of here before it takes effect that's going to get me in a some type of scissors like it should be legal i believe that it would make people mellow the out right i would open that third eye man it would do something really good for
people the problem is you forget you take it sometimes you know like an hour and a half later like why am i so oh okay yeah i don't want to be that far on my own head um that's scary have you ever done the float tank no you want to do that well i can't i can't i could have float the in san diego i should go down there on the raft like everybody else does last time i ran into you i am so nervous that you get nervous about me making my show do you understand yeah i think we're going to get you out of here in about 15 minutes that's what i think all right is that all right yeah i think that's the right move maybe ten you guys got me really nervous now i i wish i wasn't but at least you have ways ways to put you on some weird funky backcountry routes that'll cut 20 minutes out of it oh and end up in mexico you'll be fine very close to mexico but super conservative that's what's interesting
about san diego i used to i my first album i did in la jolla military yes it's all military on there yeah safe as yeah maybe i'll have one of those guys at my show tonight people have said to be like where would you would you live in a military town like yes that's a good place to live you're gonna have gyms for sure you're definitely gonna have uh gun ranges when you say that is that when they throw you into the alt-right adjacent category uh like that probably yeah i mean the the american flag behind me probably contributes to that oh my god how horrible i know you're a extremist john what next the constitution decolonizing that's one of my favorite things decolonizing you've been paying attention to that expression people want to decolonize certain certain things like what oh look hairstyles and decolonizing yeah you're not yeah there was a guy who
got kicked off of a show these are the mushrooms talking around no no no there's a guy who got kicked off of a show he was um he was on a show i think was in montreal and he had uh he had dreadlocks on and it was this he's apparently gender fluid which i guess i dabbled in that yeah you can go back and forth between being a man and a woman but he does have dreadlocks and they kicked him off the show because he's a white guy with dreadlocks and he defended their position uh and one of the phrases they used was about decolonizing specific hairstyles and taking them away from white people and giving them back to the people well that's sort of appropriation is what their acute cultural appropriation yeah hairstyles i'd like to go with dreads as a 57 year old italian girl you'd be weird you'd be weird with dresses i'd get famous just from that that that in a white goatee
colloquin says i should wear a black he says i'm going to turtleneck steve jobs the black turtleneck with yellow lightning bolts and call myself don corrado why why because he's just being funny i heard he has an amazing new show that guy he should watch him work it out man it's a it's all about politics it's about what we're talking about about red versus blitz so timely yeah and and you know um he's a he's a craftsman i watch him the fat black cat i'd go on sometimes uh i have a show up to his what is the fat black you'd love it just right around the corner from the comedy cellar it's got a real bohemian feel to it people are sitting in couches there's lamps it holds about 75 people carla was of course quick enough and smart enough to say i'm using this every night to work out and people know you can say look i'm only charging you five dollars because i'm gonna be working new stuff out
but you would love it it's kind of a bohemian feel to it and um it's and they give you the door not that that effect has anything to do with you but um but it's great it's a it's uh you know you do an hour of your i smoke wow sometimes um it's so fun it's so uh again it's like 75 seats it's a little happy it's very attractive so new york has some weird little clubs man it's really interesting how new york has it because the guys are just hopping around like that i never when i lived in new york i could never afford to live in the city so i lived in new rochelle and when i did gigs i was like well i could work in town and do 10 minutes or 15 minutes or i could just go on the road and do a gig in connecticut or do a gig in jersey and make actual money and so i always did that so even when i lived in new york i hardly ever worked in new york yeah i don't as much anymore i used to
you know i used to go to the comedy cell every night but louis made that place world famous yeah and it's not it used to be a room where you could work out and take your time but now it's you know it's a tourist it's packed it's still a great club and i but i feel like yeah i'll grow that i don't want to do i don't want to go on stage unless i'm doing at least 40 minutes right right you know i mean i got to get something done uh 15-minute sets don't that's why i still do the fat black pussycat which is such a great thing um so look at that nice yeah that's it nice and it's it that looks big you know it always looks bigger from a picture it's tiny that's it like from a bed that's from the balcony up there so is it like the uh the belly room at the store it's small smaller than that really oh yeah way smaller than that way smaller than that the store is 70
people upstairs so it's basically the same oh the one way the belly button yeah yeah yeah no not the original arm i was like the original yeah i would say like that yeah yeah it it's you love it and people are sitting in couches and it's it's really cool and gnome who runs the he couldn't be nicer you know and uh that's the only one i really do in the city really yeah i'm like you i'd rather go to governors or or somewhere else and do some real time governor has a great club yeah the other thing about um doing um like clubs where there's a lot of people on where you only do in 15 minutes the good thing about it is that it's not your crowd so you have to make people laugh they're there just to see comedy they're not just see nick apollo right like if you go to you know how that happens to some guys they develop their crowd and then they kind of lose their edge yes it's scary right yes
yes last time i saw you on stage i walked into caroline's uh i was just i was just in town for something and you were on stage it was a late show and you were doing some show about katrina a joke about katrina that they spelled help wrong on the roof yeah how many people died because they couldn't spell help guy looking down from a helicopter says hep yeah i said if you want hep just step in that water you're standing you know i was crying laughing i'm like nick is just still swinging from the head that's my favorite joke that that stage is still one of my favorites in the country i don't do caroline's the only problem with caroline's though is when they reduce the stage down to the size of a shoebox yes but you're absolutely adjustable yeah but on about like on a tuesday wednesday night with like 60 70 people in there that's amazing it is my favorite i was so comfortable because i
§14Transcript - 111:27 start
played it so much when i first moved to new york i could stay up there for three hours i got so much done i wrote half specials on that stage by doing like tuesday nights for a year oh yeah yeah yeah yeah that's the way you get it done yeah right yeah yeah you're right like 60 60 people in the crowd around isn't that not the i did some little plays up in canada niagara falls the corner comedy club i'm in a real hole in the wall shitty tables and you know just cheesy had the best time of my life well when a place is big then it becomes a show and you have to do your ad huh yeah yeah which stifles creativity yeah that's one of one of the reasons why ari uh when he does the store he'll sign up for like late night and he'll get on like a 12 45 or some like that and there's 20 people there and i always say that that's like truth serum because if you do your act in front of 20 people
you know what sucks like there's no no confusing what sucks it's right in front of you that's right that's right you feel the terribleness of your material you don't need 250 people to tell you you suck it takes four couples you're paying attention and you just but you feel it like you can kind of song and dance your way through a couple of 100 people that's right because even yeah you're exactly right a barometer always said that give me just double figures give me 15 to 20. yes that is enough right it's great to work out material of course it's great to cut out all the horseshit in your act you know yeah because if there's only 15 people in the room and seven of them don't like the joke oh you feel it yeah you know the 15 if someone's sitting there with the cross arms staring you down like yikes that's where the work gets done yeah yeah i hate i used to hate playing caroline's and this
is ironic but this is when i was you know had comedy central specials and i was kind of hot and i would sell out caroline's i would hate it though like two shows on a saturday night because it's packed and i know i have something called the quotient for every 20 people a club there's one so if there was like 250 you know somebody do the math so you got more yeah that was larger crowd so you have to work fast and tight to keep their attention right as opposed to taking your time on a tuesday night in front of 60 people and the real funny comes out yeah when you say in between your proven bits yes it is the gold yeah right yeah it comes out of nowhere it's like it opens up when you and you put yourself in that frame of mind too when there's only 30 people and uh you know midnight or something like that you're putting yourself in a different frame right there's no pressure
what can now let me ask you that can you do that in front of a full room i can't put myself in that mentality it's hard because you have to work differently i feel like but i'm being a and giving in but i know damn well if i work as slow as i do in front of 40 50 people in front of 250 or 300 somebody's going to get anxious in the art at least that's my i that mentality you said when you show up with 50 people it's almost like around somebody's living room yeah yeah yeah and i want that failing in front of 300 people or 400 people it's always different you know we were talking about that last night that like when you do a large theater it's so much different than doing a club even if you do a pack club of 500 people then you move to a place that's got 5 000 people it's just a different feeling it's a totally different feeling you have to do the air quotes act you got to do your act you
know yeah it gets weird large numbers are weird yeah timing's different you have to you can't hammer the punch lines like you can in a club like in a club you go punch you remember gavin would have punched might have to punch a tag tag tag tag and those tags would just have everybody wrong oh yeah well if he was doing 10 000 people that those tags would get drowned out in the absolutely all the people around you i tried tagging when i did like my first tonight show i tried tagging you know and like like you said it got lost it's bourbon but uh but you don't tag like you're in a club you know yeah i remember learning that lesson tv yeah but you're absolutely right uh gavin was rapid fire and uh i remember watching him at nix i came in when i first started coming and i stepped in the door he's on stage and and i'm like is he dying everybody everybody was
doubled over in the audience i thought he was dying all sudden you know you couldn't hear any laughter at all in a huge roar i mean because he would tag like you said tag a joke 11 times yeah and people are still dying from the last they were literally bent over nothing was coming out of that i'm like yeah i mean he was shaking i couldn't breathe yeah i think we got a chance to see some guys that are probably some of the best comics of all time and people don't know you know i think between sweeney and gavin and lenny and and and and those guys that we saw when they were in their prime and yeah kenny when we were coming up those guys were in their prime and when we were young we got a chance to see i think some of the greatest of all time no doubt about it but they got stuck well the guys at knicks put them on a contract for a while remember they gave them good money and coke
they were making i remember gab telling me they were making three grand a weekend and not having to leave your city yeah making road money and and like you said a little some perks on the side um free booze free all that yeah and uh but they all live great well did they ever but yeah and in the long run you know um well in the long run it was a problem but we got to see some crazy i remember though some of those nights at nick's comedy stop when you watch those guys get i remember sweeney killing so hard yeah you almost wanted to quit comedy i know there's no way i could do that well i had to follow the guy gavin would in boston back then if but you know don gavin show he would be the host no yeah he would start off the show yeah that was a different thing about boston too right right that's right like if you did the nicked apollo show at next comedy shop you would start off the show
right and and what was crazy it was great for young comic but i had to follow gavin doing a tight 15. jesus so it made me you know uh admit you had to be able to hold your own yeah and they they talk 100 miles an hour plus they're coked up and they're really and they're really funny they're really funny and they've got heavy boston accents and they're big men they're like big imposing people oh yeah yeah and they would destroy some guy who came in i remember guys something gold ronnie gold from new york he just done his first tonight show and and he was coming to knicks for the weekend and everybody was dropping in gavin would do ten chance length doing all this guitar and literally get like a standing ovation here's ronnie gold five minutes into it cricket people cricket quick angry irish kids with their blonde eyebrows you suck yeah i remember that that was a tough room if
you were having a bad set well they would do it to the people they would do it to anybody from out of town that had a big attitude and a hollywood resume they did it to billy crystal they lit billy crystal up in that room well that i understand yeah well you got to do what you got to do they did it to everybody though yeah it was crazy to watch well yeah they were like these guys were as funny as them and we're going to punish them and they would you know who they didn't do it to don herrera exactly don marrero went up there like a champ and just rode the waves yes you just kept that waves going funny yeah i went on comics come home a couple years ago uh no not the last one the one before that and dom had to close the show and it was a murders row bobby kelly me billy burr taking the roof off the dump and i'm like dom has to close this and i he's as funny as anybody but i'm just saying
how's he gonna he goes up there and he did something self-deprecating it gets a nice within a minute and a half he had them and there was no drop off there was no drop off in response i went home i didn't realize he was that good oh he's still that good domino rare has not lost his stuff brilliant i see him at the store all the time yeah quit drinking told me quit drinking for two months very happy for him yeah well i sorry he has hands with like shaking and he has a nerve issue yeah it's actually it goes from his shoulder all the way down to his arm yeah mushrooms that'll help him or he hurt him that's what he said he told me that's what god damn now that you brought her up dude we could be honestly better get you out of here i'll have look i said before anytime joey come on i i i i would i this is i mean this show's as powerful as anything out there
