Big yes! Ladies and gentlemen, legendary media personality, Ann Coulter, everyone. Give it up for her. Let's make some noise. 800 tourists from Times Square. Thank you so much for coming in. Thank you for having me, Adam. I'm really excited. Me too. I told some of my friends, the smart ones, and they were saying this is going to be like the Buckley Baldwin of 2025. Excellent. I think, yeah, we talked on the phone. You talked on the phone last night? Yes. That was a good, that was charming. Yeah, no, we're going to be hanging out. You're like my first white friend in ever, probably. Excuse me. No, no, no, I'm just kidding. Obviously, all my friends are Jewish. What are you talking about? Okay, two things. One is I'd always known you as a media personality. My assumption was always that you were like a poshie. You were like a Connecticut-style, like equestrian kind of poshie. And I was surprised to find out that, like, you know, your father was an Irish cop. No, he wasn't. I believe he was, and I believe you were the first in your family to learn how to read. And the first to have shoes. No, my father was not an Irish cop. Why was he? He was an FBI agent. He was a corporate lawyer on Park Avenue. So where am I getting this from? Yes, for a few years after law school, it was like having a clerkship. You'd go straight and do, you had to be a lawyer to be an FBI agent back then. You don't know. So for a few years, he was a red hunter with the FBI. But he was a lawyer. He was a corporate lawyer at 300 Park Avenue. Uh-huh. Sounds like an Irish cop to me. I mean, Irish cops are great. It just isn't what he was. So he's a red hunter. He was briefly. Yeah, he worked on some of Joe McCarthy's cases. Did he know Roy Cohn? Apparently, but not very well, because he was a young pup. He was a young pup? Yeah, I mean, he'd just gotten out of law school. Sounds like a gay slang. You've never heard the expression young pup? You have young pups, you have otters, you have. Okay, I no longer think you are a word fan. A young pup? A young pup? A young pup? It's just a common expression, a young pup. A young pup? Yeah, maybe from frickin' Connecticut. Maybe that's a Connecticut thing. Am I going to be getting that this whole show? What's wrong? You should be proud. Anything I say, not everything is a Connecticut thing. Rich is great, compared to the alternative. The alternative is dreck. Oh, yeah, I'm with you on that. Being poor sucks. Oh, totally. You moved to Connecticut on a cop salary. Was he dirty? Did he ever run into that guy's Serpico? Anyway, you were born in New York City. Yeah, but grew up in New Canaan. Okay, so that's like a New York tri-state area kind of, yeah. Everybody's, it's funny, it's a little like the Upper East Side, which is to say, during the day, all of the husbands leave New Canaan. They all leave the Upper East Side. You see all ladies with their kids. Blah, blah, blah, right? No, I mean, it's very sad. It's a very safe environment, much like the Upper East Side until de Blasio and now. Do you think that Martha Stewart was kind of the most elite of those Connecticut ladies? She turned staying in Connecticut while the guy's in New York City into a billion-dollar brand? Am I wrong? I don't know. I just know she supported Bill Quentin, so I'm not a fan. You're not a fan of Martha Stewart? So you're kind of, that's kind of. You know how like someone, I heard someone recently after Ozzy Osbourne died, they were like, but he was a Zionist. I'm like, who? He was on drugs. Who cares? What do you think? That's indicative, in her case, of being part of the fancy crew and just, I don't know, like Reese Witherspoon and Paltrow, Gwyneth Paltrow. You know, that whole, just. So you don't. People I don't care about. So you don't like the elites? Correct. You're a woman of the people. That's totally right. You know, because my father was an Irish cop, apparently. Your dad was on the beat. He had a billy club. He was in the Five Points. It's good. You guys became cops. We became Hollywood. The Itralians became criminals. You know, like. It was a good time back in the. You know that the Lower East Side was its own congressional district? Isn't that crazy? It was the most densely populated place in the world, turn of the 20th century. You know, well, I know it was a lot of poor people, and now it's very she-she. It was us. Your guys were there, too. You're not half Irish? I'm a quarter Irish. Oh, my God. You're ashamed. My father. No, I'm just saying. You're ashamed of your Irish lineage. No, I was worried we might be going back to my father being an Irish cop, which would have made me half Irish, but he wasn't even fully Irish. Okay. So he was half Irish, and he was like, what was the other half? Dutch. I've dedicated one of my books to my ancestor, F.E. Van Varick. Anna Frank. Yeah. F.E. Van Varick. And Varick Street comes from that Varick family. Oh, like old New York. That's going back to the Revolutionary War. So I had a lot of Dutch relatives in New York when, you know, they scammed the Indians out of it. Ha, ha, ha. And then British Isles. Oh, and a little German. Do you have Catholic blood? Are you half? Blood. Are you half green, half orange? You're mostly orange. That I don't know, but. Was your dad Catholic? His mother was Catholic, his father was Presbyterian, and all of my other ancestors were Presbyterian. Okay. What's Presbyterian like? What's, what's. Just Christian. Do they, is it like a, are the songs good? Songs are great. Do they do Amazing Grace? Yep. Oh, I love that song. Zach, how much do we love that song? Real, real church songs are fabulous. I hate the modern Christian churches that do, you know, the rock and roll all over the top. Oh, yeah, yeah. Amazing Grace, you know, well, you must know this. It was written by big. A British. Slave trader. I thought it was a British pastor. It is a British slave trader. He was really big. The boat got in a storm. Uh-huh. He realized. He was going to die, and he blamed himself for being a slave trader, and swore to God, I will, I will, I will serve you. I will give up the slave trading. Uh-huh. At the last second? Just save my life. No, he lived, and he wrote Amazing Grace, because he was saved. Wow. So, so it wasn't the Jews doing that. Farrakhan's wrong? I can't believe it. I thought Farrakhan. I know. I can't believe Farrakhan. So you're a deadhead grown up? Yes. How many shows? How many shows have you been to? You know. Anne, stop. Just be real. I'm very embarrassed by this, but, you know, it was a big thing with deadheads. There are a lot of big things with deadheads, like keeping lists of the songs they played at concerts, but one was to keep your tickets, and so one time, I'm very tidy, and I'm going through my apartment, and I found a drawer that's just full of all these dead tickets, and I thought, what am I doing this for? And I just swept them all out, and then Jerry died, and I realized, oh, that's why we're kept the ticket stubs, so we can count up how many shows have been. So I didn't know. I checked with a few friends. At the time, I thought, oh, my God. figured it was above 60 above 60 so you were like you did lsd marijuana stuff like that never took drugs you were there i like the music not in the 70s you like deetle deetle kindergarten three hours of deetle deetle deetle just no drugs no drugs by the time i started following them no they were very melodic i still listen to dead i love them 80s dead 90s early 90s they were at their peak yeah they were very melodic nobody liked space we'd go out and get wine or a beer or something when they do the space music oh you'd have champagne depends where we were that's so you uh that is so you so was your family conservative or did you have like a conservative awakening um well i guess a little of both um but yeah no i grew up in a very conservative family and i think that the important point is because sometimes kids you know get to college rebel against their parents is um we talked about politics all the time so we'd have i mean as i do today with my friends we have arguments you know along the edges i suppose i argue with my friends all the time but basic values basic conservatism it kind of makes it easier to argue because you can draw analogies more easily uh-huh yeah i mean my family was like that too but like you were just like good point dad no no i was telling i just was telling them that they're idiots i still do i'm like did you cop you copied their politics or you emulated no i'm saying we argued about politics as i do with with my conservative friends today so they're more modern so that gives you no no no no no no well here this will give you an example um my parents big disagreement um actually my father when they were dating had to talk my mother out of the value of the tennessee valley authority she had grown up in kentucky so i thought it was great and father much more liberal and i was like oh my god i'm gonna go to kentucky and i'm gonna go to kentucky libertarian um that's part of the the dutch ancestry by the way the dutch very libertarian um so father is against or was they both passed away was against zoning laws and mother wanted to preserve the beauty of the community and i'm totally with mother on that side so the argument was the new deal that's how your parents hooked up they had it is that they flirted they discussed it on the day they flirted he used to always roll his eyes and say yeah she likes the tva that is that is that's so connecticut that's so connecticut wow that's like what uh yeah i guess how did my parents meet each other that's not how they met he wasn't oh he wasn't just railing against uh old franklin delander roosevelt no she didn't like fdr she didn't like him we don't have a single i don't have a single ancestor who voted for fdr i'm very proud of that were they voting for reichsfuhrer adolf hitler not a few of them i don't have a single ancestor who voted for fdr i'm very proud of that i'm very proud of that i think you're familiar with american history but it was a republican who led the the effort to destroy the nazi war machine uh charles limburg i want to get back to to you you go to the an ivy oh i'm so boring let's move on from me no no no no you're not you're not you're very impressive you're gonna keep throwing out crazy stuff i'll dispute it i have a very boring life no you're not you're very impressive like to me like you like no you have the resume of someone that could have been i mean you're the president of the federalist society and university of michigan law school you went to you went to ivy league uh undergrad you were a clerk on that was a while ago you're a federal i've sort of collapsed since then wait you're bad at you're bad at school now i mean we all are i don't even know how to how to read anymore um did you conceive of like did you want to be a supreme court justice or like an attorney you could have been big you could have been big in the law i feel like um you could have been writing these goddamn torture memos with alberto gonzalez well that would have been fun well he did not do a very good job i would correct him on that no what i'm doing now is way way way better i i worked briefly um at a law firm in new york and then for a public interest law firm and i clerked for a judge um and you're a senate judiciary and yeah yeah yeah and law school was fun and law review was fun because you get to examine a particular legal issue and get to know it it's really great actually practicing law is my number one thing in law school it's really boring and it's overwhelmingly boring and even the interesting cases we took my the pro bono law firm we took um we were the only law firm taking genuine first amendment cases free speech has been a big issue for a long time and genuine civil rights cases um because most of first amendment law and civil rights it's settled settled settled so no nobody's going to go to a big law firm in new york to argue a constitutional issue well we were arguing constitutional issues and taking them to the supreme court so that was kind of fun but even and you're stuck with it so you're repeating the same facts over and over and over again now I can look for something interesting going on in law look it up write one column about it move on yeah that's fun you and you were you went 94 contract with America to the Senate Judiciary Committee right yes I show a newt was he cool I was not a fan have you seen Calista's Instagram no I have not oh my god too busy reading John rock you guys see these pics I mean she like you does these face filters she looks like an American girl doll they're like in Italy he's like any close and they're like I'm glad Trump got him out of the country he can't what where's nude at these days he's done you just told me he's in Italy well vacation Oh where he lives in Abu Hirab prison no I was hoping he had been given an ambassadorship or something oh yeah he should right yeah yeah I was gonna ask next but you kind of answered it like you're the impetus behind like switching to a media career it wasn't that you're bored um okay I really want to move off and but I will tell you it's an interview we supposed to talk about but I'm not that interesting yeah you are actually talk about why I talk about issues stuff going on in the world welcome to Gitmo we're gonna find Ben Laden you're gonna tell me where the hell he is no I never tried to go into media I have no interest in media I was working for the Senate Judiciary Committee as you say it was after the 94 election first time Republicans at Congress in 40 years they crushed that one I happen to be out at Vail skiing thinking oh my gosh they're gonna blow it these idiot Republicans they're just gonna have you know moderate Republican staffers go to all these new totally right-wing senator staffs we had and I thought if things are ever gonna change people like me have to volunteer to work for the new right-wing because not only would did it become Republican but oh my gosh there were so many hardcore right-wingers came in that was a great year so I I applied and I got there but I didn't like Washington I really really miss New York I wanted to be in New York I love New York it's greatest city in the world could do could do with a fewer homeless drug addicts pushing people in front of subways but no no we had 20 years of peace and prosperity under Republican mayors there was hobos then yes there were absolutely were there's always been hobos when you move here do you remember were you in a coma for all of the Giuliani and Bloomberg years no there weren't I have not been in a coma it was absolutely sick what do you think about this Ken bone situation no I do is the fat guy went for with a red sweater at the town hall for in Trump and Hillary I gotta show you a pig nope it sounds great and stop being such a snob okay Connecticut sounds great okay so yeah so I'm in was stuck in Washington and I miss New York MSNBC came along they invited me to be on I didn't even own a TV I didn't want to be on TV but I wanted flights to New York so I was on MSNBC there very first day and for I don't know year and a half two years I'd fly up every few Senate was in recess for like all of the year but it was 1996 presidential election year so I kept coming up to New York and and that's kind of how it started but I mean they kept firing me and I kept saying okay fine I'll just go back to practicing law and then human events came to me and asked me to be their legal columnist and then Regnery came to me and said you've been writing a lot about Clinton why don't you write a book on this and I wrote bestseller yeah but I never you're a Woody Allen fan crimes of it it was the movie right it's also a line from the Constitution I don't know what the hell is of course I know that's interesting cuz that's the first time I became aware of you it was a smash hit and you became like you were the person that would go on the politically incorrect that was fun and I was telling you on the phone yesterday you were shocking like my parents were like like liberal boomer Jewish parents were like like but she has long hair she's a why she's saying these did you what's interesting to me is that your first number one hit right banger like and for a into like being a firebrand conservative personality was kind of like advocating for a young woman against like a powerful man mm-hmm which is like that was a that was a right wing right yeah it was so topsy-turvy at the time because in retrospect like like I remember it's the way they talked about Monica and they'd be like she's fat she's got come on her dress and in retrospect like she Oh, she wasn't the one I was fighting for, but I did feel sorry for her. Oh, Paula Jones. Paula Jones. She was the one who was really, well that's because you have been fooled by the feminist movement who pretend they're for powerless people against powerful men. No, they write all these laws making everything illegal and then they only apply them to Republicans. So for example, the reason I knew a lot about this is among the cases my law firm was saying at the time was defending men, professors often, on First Amendment grounds who had been accused of sexual harassment for something they said in their lecture class, I remember one in particular, it doesn't really matter. What did he say? He said, he was describing what a simile is, and said a simile is the belly dancer's belly moves like jello on a plate on a vibrator, I think that's what he said. But you know, there are 200 people in the class, he's not sexually harassing you Missy. I feel like, this is like Keith Richards talking about like, lead belly, or like, these are your influences. But because of that, I knew a lot of what the sexual harassment law was, and it was utterly, preposterously ridiculous, there was one guy, this was found to be in a hostile environment, a single act, that was a big thing the feminists kept arguing, that no, feminists have a hostile environment with a single act, there were a million single act sexual harassment cases, including one of a boss who had a picture, a vacation picture, of his wife in a bikini on his desk at work. And someone brought a lawsuit saying that's a hostile environment, I don't want to see your wife in a bikini. So the cases had gone very far in the other direction. Here was, I mean, you were never allowed to drop your pants and say kiss it, it's not like we needed the feminists. To tell us that. But that's what Clinton did, too. I did, actually. I didn't know. Oh, you needed that one, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's a good thing I was out there. Gloria Steinem told me that, yeah. No, no, no, no, in Clinton, she said you get one free grope. They really didn't show up for Monica. She said you get one free grope, because when he dropped his pants and said kiss it to Monica, he took no for an answer. But I mean, I guess like, it's like, you were, I mean, you're trying to say that you were like, fighting free speech cases against feminists, but like, in essence, in the public, in the public forum, you were advocating for- Paula Jones. Paula Jones- She was absolutely demonized. Yes, and in essence, that is like, in a 2025 context, that sounds not, it doesn't sound like a conservative punditry, it sounds more like a kind of, I don't know, like a second wave feminist. No, no, no, no. You're confusing- I'm making an accusation. A real, a real abuse of power- Sure. With a lot of the BS cases. I mean, I think some of the original Me Too cases were, I mean, I haven't studied them carefully, but I think some of the first ones, yeah, that was real, that was bad, and then I think you got a lot of Johnny-come-latelys, and I don't believe them at all. Some other ones, this is extremely politically incorrect- That's fine. I mean, I knew about the Epstein case, apparently, before the New York Times or anyone on TV did. It was, happened in Palm Beach, it was all over the Palm Beach Post. You saw them the day before. The day before 9/11? Yeah, I met them then. That, I saw you telling that story. Very weird. First of all, he pulls up in a limo, it's raining, he said, "Ann Coulter, can I give you a ride?" And we know someone in common, he named someone I know, and the traffic was moving by 20 miles per hour, and I had to get home because I had an early morning flight, morning of 9/11. So, didn't, I mean, it's the, if it's the day before 9/11, didn't he- No, no, no, no, yes, day before 9/11. I mean, didn't he, him and Israel have like a lot of work to do? Well, yeah. It's weird, he had time for me. How did he have so much time? Well, I didn't stay that long. Oh, man, I'm in control of my dad. I'm just kidding. Can you imagine missing the email from Israel if you're a Jewish guy going to the World Trade Center? Yeah, don't go to the World Trade Center. Gentle reminder. Today is 9/11. I wouldn't go in, they'd say something like, "Gentle reminder." I don't know if you've checked your calendars, but it's 9/11. We've been planning this, we got 18 Saudi guys, we took them to flight school, they only had to learn how to take off, so we got half off, we got a great deal on the flights. Well, we're just kidding. When you went into media and you became like a media personality, you kind of were the only game in town. It was kind of you and Rush. Is that? Am I incorrect in saying that? Not really, but partially in the sense of, I mean, during Politically Incorrect, he had a good run. What was it, like 20 years on ABC? Bill? Yeah, and then at the end— He said that they were brave, Mohammad Atta. What he said was— He said that they were really brave— By the way, he was repeating what Dinesh D'Souza just said, by the way. That guy's smart. No. You know, stop calling the terrorists cowards. They weren't cowards. And Bill kind of laughed and said, "Yeah, no, you're right, they're evil. They weren't cowards." I think the truth of the matter, people were mad at America. Average Americans were kind of mad at Bill for the prior year every show was, "Guys love blow jobs, guys love blow jobs, guys love blow jobs," and people got a little fed up with that. Why? That's great. Because what he actually said then—and by the way, I'd defend him, whatever he said. He's your boy, right? But anyway, no, I think it's great. It was all conservatives, he said, who were defending him, which I've often heard when people come under attack for free speech. But anyway, they have a party, I did his last show, and they told me they had counted up all the guests, and I was their most frequent guest. Okay, so the reason for that is, I'm going around to why I would have—Rush and I would have been, as you say, in a sense, the only game in town. We're the most—. Famous. There were four seats at Politically Incorrect. One was for a comedian, one was for a wild card, one was for like a Hollywood person. There was only one ideological seat, because those people were obviously going to be liberals. There was one seat. We have to have one conservative. But the problem was, all these conservatives would come in from Washington and talk a good game in the pre-interview, and then immediately capitulate in front of the Hollywood audience. Whereas I clearly don't mind being booed, so I'd say what I thought. And the show doesn't work if you don't have a conservative taking a conservative point, so I didn't back down, and that's, I think, part of the reason. So you're making my point for me, right? Did it feel like this was something new? Because it wasn't like Buckley, it wasn't like Elbow Patch, right? Showbiz-wise, you were cooking. You knew that. Which is funny, because I didn't have a TV, I didn't watch TV, which is why I was never nervous on TV. It was just like sitting around talking with my friends. Yeah, yeah. Probably why I didn't back down. Well, because it's a stupid idea for a show, right? Well, it is. I'm not a Hollywood person, I'm not concerned. Oh, no, it was great. I did Piers on Monday, and I was like- That is not the same show. Do not compare those two. But it's four people talking about some, like, what are you gonna accomplish? Yeah. Okay, I don't know who was on the show, so I will say you accepted. He gets four idiots to yell at one another and yell over one another, because apparently that creates viral moments. And actually, I used to think he was a really good interviewer, Piers Morgan, on ITV, but I don't know. It is about the clickbait. Clickbait's on that show now, and I'm not gonna go on a show and have idiots yelling at me. Well, you could kill them. I killed them. I realize that you just have to interrupt and go like, "No, it's not!" "Piers, here you go again!" No, I thought he was a good interviewer. Do you feel like you've gotten your flowers as, like, kind of an influence on, like, modern punditry? Because in my mind, it kind of comes from, like, the way you did it, right? You didn't do it Buckley style. You did it in a. There was a mixture of, like, you're kicking their ass, and it was a hell of a show, you know? It was fun. You were good at what you were doing. It is fun. I know. It's really. There aren't shows like that anymore. No, there aren't. Liberals won't go on with me. There aren't ands. Do you think there are ands? Well, I don't watch that much TV. I do a lot more of the podcast stuff. And actually, I mean, all of my remote controls are bolted to MSNBC, and that's just crazy people all day. That's funny. But liberals won't go on with me. In fact, I was just talking to Bill Maher, and he always tells me, liberals won't go on with you. So I suggested to him, in fact, on the way to this studio, I have an idea. Don't tell them I'm going to be on the show. Oh, I thought you were going to say, this guy, Adam Friedland, is really cool. That's a good idea, too. Do you know. So you don't know the new generation of, like, you know. Not much. I mean, I have noticed the hair and makeup people have noticed. great hair and makeup here. There's no hair and makeup. Zach, can you do her hair? He's an intern. Zach. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Watch a YouTube video on right wing makeup. Can you? I'm a mentally ill person doing a make believe Dick Cavett show. And the newspaper says that because I'm, I'm a Literally, they have no one else. They're like, this is the future of, like, of uh what do they say about me mitch he's the publicist times and the new yorker said you're the future of late night that's right you have no other option that's right i i hear there's an opening at abc no he's back not for long have you seen his ratings no i don't look at the ratings i don't even know after all this and i don't even know the name of kimball show could you tell me i know the tonight show and late night i would not know where to find it i would not know what time abc maybe but everybody looked up the ratings because he's losing so much money for abc i think like a lot of these things trump is going after like all the dei hires i think the law firms i think the universities are all on down on their knees saying thank you thank you let us get rid of these this dead wood we're so happy and i think abc i mean if unless it's just a little cowardly of trump right if it's a low-rated show this is not really threatening right um um no i'm i i look leave trump out of this it was no i think it's out okay i think he's magnificent now hated him his first term anyway um i loved him was absolutely beyond outrageous again for for like 20 years all political violence is either actually it's in my book what did he say but he made my book demonic um which is about mobs and violence i think that it's demonic um i go through all the political violence in america and it's in there i could say and that was before you know antifa and blm much less the recent assassinations um all political violence is either a stark raving mad person or it comes from the left from anarchists from socialists from now antifa from blm what you're saying never on the right is that what you're saying yep so anyway every time never one time recently we've had actually one time i mean it's a big country so i had 200 you'd think there would be but i can't think of it anyway um every time the left goes out of its way to lie about the transgender the left-wing politics they did it with that guy jared what's her name what lie about the transgender what do they say that it's there's transgender people or what would they say no they deny that these um mass shooters are trans yeah yeah read my column from two weeks ago i go through what they say and what the absolute facts are i don't know how to read my column from two weeks ago i go through how to read well okay i forgot that um you know get mitchell to read it so it's transgender people are shooting that has been a recent thing yeah let me continue with the topic sentence we've had non-stop awful horrendous shocking political violence from the left and every time the new york times msnbc cnbc all of them are saying no that we think this was a right winger they did it with the guy who shot gabby giffords the first one he shot out there for one thing he was a pothead he was a lefty he was an atheist um the first person he shot was a republican and he killed the republican gabby gets wounded so it's supposed to be right-wing violence wait i'm lost wait okay trans then the left-wing okay gabby giffords was shot by who a pothead well i'm just sorry sorry i'm not i'm not left-wing commit shocking violence media tell us they're right-wing i just gave you one of many many examples but people shouldn't kill each other right it's not nice um the point is it would be really helpful especially looking at solutions and maybe looking at the media calling anyone they disagree with a nazi a fascist a white supremacist sexist a racist um maybe we could tone that down a bit when all of the shocking violence don't kill each other comes from the left and every time the media says it comes from the right and that is what jimmy kimmel was doing it and he was doing it and this is something that is very important for you a dies. If you just if you just announced right now. --Jokes about policies are fun. --The shooter was was right-wing. People would look at that and say, well it's trans adjacent. His boyfriend was trans. People would say. --Why is it so complicated? --Not complicated at all. --It's too much these days. --It's way less complicated. --No, I just mean the world is complicated. --Stop mumbling over me. --Anne, I love you. I just, I'm trying, I don't like, you don't, someone killed a state senator. --I'm just giving you some really good advice on how to propagandize. --I'm not, I don't do comedy about politics because it's never funny, right? --Doesn't matter. You can propagandize about anything. --I talk about my penis. I saw my dad's penis growing up. --You can propagandize about your dad's penis. Might really help the ladies. --My dad has the biggest penis in the world. --Okay, you're gonna help him. See, that would not work so well. But if you told a joke that was premised on the idea that your dad has a large penis, people sit back and think, if you just say he has the largest penis, they go, oh, could be true, could be true. --He does. --But if you tell a joke that assumes that everyone knows he has a large penis, that's how you get, that's how you do the best propaganda. That is what Kimmel did for a monstrous lie that has been imposed on the public for decades now. That's why he should be thrown off the air. --Okay, but like wasn't the joke that Trump was talking about the ballroom renovation after this? --No, that wasn't the issue. That was funny for the first time in his life. --But that was what, that's what he got in trouble for. --No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. --I thought that's what he, he said, they asked him about Charlie Kirk and he said, we're redoing, we're redoing the ballroom. --No, no, no, MAGA's politicizing this when it was one of their own who shot Charlie Kirk. That's what he said. --No, he said that they were trying to say that it wasn't one of their own. That's. --Right. Okay, either way you say it. --I watched the clip. --They're trying to say it wasn't one of their own. It was one of their own. --But both sides were saying it's not one of their own, right? That's what happens these days. --And there's an answer, Adam! --What? --You can't just, oh, both sides. And some people say Jews are, you know, eat little babies. --Is that right? --Some Jews, some say they don't. --We don't eat little babies. --Who's to say, who's to say there's no way of figuring out. --She's out of her mind. --Whether you drink the blood of Christian babies. --This lady is out of her mind. --No way of determining it. --I have stomach issues as it is. --There are answers! --Okay, but listen, there is, you can't possibly claim that there, there is. --That there's an answer? --Just one side that are killing each other. --Well, we know about this one! No, no, no. --My opinion is that both people shouldn't kill each other. --No, no, no. Duh! --The Minnesota State Senator and her husband got shot at their house, right? --Oh my gosh, you're so brave. --Was it a left-wing? --You think people shouldn't kill one another? Thank you for that important point, Adam. --Yeah, because I'm nice. --Um, to act like we have no idea. --Yeah. --What Tyler, what Tyler Robinson's motives were. --I don't, I'm not talking, saying that. --You just did! --I'm saying this. --Some people say one side, some people say the other. Who's to know? --After Kurt got shot, both sides were trying to blame the other side. That's what I was saying. --But there's an answer, so the plus side that's lying. --We didn't know. We were waiting for the cops to say it. --We absolutely knew by the time of Kimmel's show on Monday night. --Why are you mad at me? Don't be mad at me, I'm nice. --No, you're not. --Yes, I am nice. --It's both sides nonsense. --It's not both sides. I'm saying in general, shouldn't people calm down and stop killing each other? --Good point. --I think so. --That hadn't occurred to me. --I think so. It's safer if people aren't killing each other. --Yeah, and since one side is doing all the killing, maybe we should address that. --That's not true. You know that's not true. --Yes, it is true. --But mathematically it's not true. --Well, I'm not talking about every murder in the world. I'm talking about political violence. Shocking political violence. --But the Minnesota State Senator, like a couple months ago. --That was absolutely batshit crazy. It's like the guy who shot up Congress. --He was not right-wing. He was a right-wing? I'm just asking. --No, some, and by the way, I'll say the same thing on people who are slightly left-wing. The one, the Aurora shoot, yeah, Aurora, Colorado. --That was a joker. --There was a, yeah, just batshit crazy. Oh, I can say that on your show, right? --What? --I'm just kidding. I assume I can say anything. --You can say anything on my show. Anything you want. You're my guest. --There was a Muslim who went into some Jewish center, this was years ago, shot it up. Turns out he was totally schizophrenic. The family is apologizing. I don't just say it when it's a right-winger, therefore it's mental illness. Sometimes it's mental illness, and that happens to be a recent case. Yeah, that guy was crazy. --Tyler was probably, if you kill someone, you're crazy, right? And I'm not defending, I'm not defending the left. And you're projecting onto what I'm saying right now? I don't, I hate the Democratic Party, okay? Like, seriously. Like, they're so annoying. --Okay, but it's kind of important and a --Especially when you have this propaganda going out saying exactly what the opposite of the truth is. Because, by the way, that is not what the New York Times says. That is not what MSNBC says. --Isn't it that the computer is making people crazy? The computer is making people crazy right now, right? People are crazy. --I just wrote about that, too. No. No, the computer is the greatest thing that ever happened to human kind. --I agree. I agree. --This attack on social media is complete BS. --What I'm, okay, I do think. --That was this week's column. Would you keep up? --And I don't subscribe to the, to the, to the. --DanCoulter.substack.com. --I don't subscribe to the Daily Showa. What I'm really saying is, I think that, like, like, like, I was talking to you on the phone last night, right? I used to get called, like, a fucking loser for liking politics, right? --I told you it's a sign of a high IQ. --But nowadays, all the dumb people are starting to do it. --I know. I know. --And that's, and that's all I'm saying. Like, people, like, it's become a thing where, like, people are yelling at the head of the, like, Department of Health and Human Services, I was telling you on the phone last night, all day on the internet for zero dollars, right? And so, like, by extension, maybe them killing each other is a product of people going fucking nuts, right? --One side's gone a little more nuts than the other. --And beyond that, people had to stay home for two years, and they were on their phones the whole time, and they went a little. --No, phones are the greatest thing that has ever happened. --So you're pro-lockdowns. --No, I'm pro-social media and the internet and these old fuddy-duddies saying, oh, get the kids off their phones, go touch grass. - President Xi, take it away, please. Please, please come here. I'm pivoting CCP. --Well, he'd be better than our current. Anyway, what was I gonna say? The two things that drove that drove stupid people to care about politics. Number one, the Bill Clinton scandal because oh my gosh apparently everybody has an opinion on blowjobs. And number two, Donald Trump because there are a lot of mentally ill people who just hear his name. And I mean this is crazy the most recent thing with it. --How do you think the Bill Clinton, like how could you have such an antiquated opinion despite the fact that you're 22 years old? That's an opinion from the freaking 1995. --But also --Listen, the phone has driven people insane. --No it hasn't. It's saved people's lives. --This episode is brought to you by EA Sports, FC 27.

I'm gonna we're gonna walk you through some of the some of the greatest hits. This is the tip of the iceberg. --Oh. --You're a maestro. You're very. After 9/11 you wrote the US should invade Muslim countries and kill their leaders. --And convert them to Christianity. --How? --We did it in South Korea. --Reverend Moon? --No, MacArthur invited them in. --The 9/11 wives enjoyed their husband's deaths? --I've never seen people enjoying their husband's death so much. --Every single of my single female friends, that's a thing that they would say. --That's a jealous-ass girl thing. --I don't know if you. Well you would remember this. You remember Clinton. But it was these four babes from New Jersey who were really getting off on being on TV. And their whole thing was to go on and you can't criticize us because they're widows. And they viciously attacked everything George Bush was doing. But my point was. --You call them babes though? You have pigs? --You know a lot of people are widows from 9/11. How come. --Oh my god. --How about you don't put widows on if we're not allowed to respond? --You're so mean. --No, I'm not mean. --Okay, you call Muslims ragheads, that's derivative. --I want to finish this point. This is a dirty trick of the left to use human shields to make their arguments. If you want to make the argument against Bush. --Amas, they say. --Somebody. put somebody out there I'm allowed to respond to and not, "Oh, but she's a widow. You can't respond." --So she. they were being mean to Bush. --They were attacking. they were making political points. They were trying to score political points for the Democrats. And we weren't allowed to respond. Because they were widows. Well, there were a lot of widows. --We got them weapons of mass destruction? So you called Muslims towel heads? That's derivative. --I don't think so. --You said. this is mean. U.S. didn't kill enough Native Americans? --Oh yeah, that's a recent one. --That's a mean one, Anne. --There was some Indian woman. --They're all like. no one even thinks about them. They're just. they all have like diabetes and alcoholism. --Okay, this was a retweet of this Indian chick going on about how her goal was the destruction of the United States of America. --Who? Nikki Haley? --Different Indian. --You said women should lose the right to vote. Uncle Tom ass over here. Do you have female friends? --A few. --Who's your best female friend? --I first said that on Politically Incorrect a million years ago. --That's a banger, though. --There were girls in the audience clapping for me. --No, I'm saying. --Not all of them. --You cooked on that one. --I think I've won on that one. That's all over now. --So you don't want to vote? --No, I want the rest of my general gender not to vote. I'll give it up if they don't. --You're a better. you think you're better than the rest of them? --Duh. --You're the best girl? --Duh. --What about Sidney Sweeney? --She's very hot. She could vote. But we can't. --Oh, my God. --Sidney and I. I think she'd agree with me. --Do you know her? --No. --Hit her up. --But I think she'd agree with me. But we'd be willing to give up our votes if the rest of our gender does not vote. --Okay, Anne. You said humanity should the Earth. What are you, Marilyn Manson? --Humanity should the Earth? --You know. --That's great. --If you're going to do my quotes, you've got to get the quote right. Every single one of these quotes is wrong. --Well, tell me. What's that about? What's the Earth about? You make a hole in it? --I didn't say humanity. I said it's in the Bible. God said, "Here's the Earth. Take it. It's yours. the Earth." --God said it? --I'm paraphrasing. But wherever you got. somebody's got to get a better website because literally every one of those quotes you have wrong. --I got this off of a. --MediaMatters.com. --Encyclopedia Britannica. --Well, every one of those quotes has been wrong. --You said Mussolini had the right idea. I don't. listen. I don't want to tell you. artist to artist. --Okay, now we're going into things I didn't say at all. --I don't want to tell you how to do your job. --But every one of your quotes is incorrect. --There was a better one to say. You should have said the main one. Mussolini is like. that's like a. --I don't think I've ever even talked about Mussolini. --You tried to hit a double. You could have gone the whole way. --You know, Adam, I've said a lot of stuff that's really outrageous. I don't think you have to make stuff up. --I feel like we're flirting right now. --I have an idea. Don't make stuff up. --You said Timothy McVeigh should have blown up the New York Times building. I was just. --Okay, I did say that. --They put me in the. they wrote. --Finally you got a quote right. --They wrote me. they wrote an article about me last week. You would have ruined that for me. --In the New York Times. --Yeah, they said that I'm the Noam Chomsky of Generation Alpha or something. I don't know. They said I'm the Martin Luther King of Jews. Okay. Oh, the Vivek one. That's. that got famous. --Oh, that was a recent one, yeah. --You said he's. he's. he's sharp, but you would have voted. --I said. I don't know where you're getting these quotes. I'll tell you what I said. --It's not a quote. I just. I'm asking you. --Oh. I was doing his podcast, and I just thought of it right as he was introducing me, because I've been watching the debates. He was in the debates. I mean, he. I don't trust him as far as I can throw him, but boy, he was saying. saying things. That sounded great, that I really agreed with. He is really sharp. Loved having him in the debates. And I said, you know, I think you've been great in the debates. I probably agreed with you more than anyone else, but. --Yeah. --I wouldn't vote for you for president, because you're Indian. --And do you say that hurts my feelings? --No, he waited until he was being interviewed by Ezra Klein for the New York Times. No, he argued about it. I thought it was a good. --He was like, I agree. --No, no, no. It was a good. we had a very good discussion. --You don't think any guy ever be the president in America? --Well, can they wait a few generations? You can't even become a citizen in Switzerland until you've been there for three generations. --Well, they. --And by the way, yeah. --Pick aside Switzerland. Switzerland. oh, we're neutral. --Okay, as soon. as soon as Israel has a non-Jewish president. --They've had non-Israeli presidents. Golden Mayor's from Wisconsin. --We've had non. --Bibi's from Philly. --We've had non-WASP presidents here. --We've had two. --Although the country was founded by WASP. That isn't the same thing. --We had a Kennedy that bootlegger's son, and we had a old Joseph Robinette Biden. --I know, I always forget about him. --Mr. Magoo. --Because he forgot, too. --I felt so bad for him. That debate was so embarrassing for America. --Oh, man, that was the greatest night of my life. --And for the rest of the world, you liked it. --I loved it. --But I'm a. listen, I'm a patriot, first and foremost. We just look like dumbasses. --Well, we looked like dumbasses having him be our president. The fact that the entire media in the Democratic Party was hiding it from us, maybe they shouldn't have done that. It's horrifying to be at someone. --No, behind closed doors, he was Stephen Hawking. --Oh, yeah, I know. --Apparently he was doing math that you've never even heard of. --That's what they always say. --Yeah, but when the sun went down. --Do you know who Al Gore is? --Yes, I know who Al Gore is. --I feel like I'm talking. --I know more about Al Gore than even you. --I feel like I'm talking to a fetus here. --Do you understand that I'm one of the smartest people you've ever met in your entire life? And one of the most popular guys? --Well, yeah. Of course, I wouldn't have shown up otherwise. Anyway. --He's from Tennessee. --You know how he's totally stiff and. --Lockbox, yeah. --Yeah. They kept insisting when he was running for president, "Oh, behind closed doors. He's like a stand-up comedian. He's unbelievable. The jokes really hit the stride in the bathtub." They always do this about Democrats. They said the same thing about Hillary. She seems like a real barrel of monkeys. --How do you feel when when y'all boys stole it? You must have felt amazing. Brooks Brothers, right? --They didn't steal it. --They had guys wearing blazers? --In fact, a year later. --You stole it. You know you stole it. --Something you apparently do not know. --9/11. --A media consortium, i.e. not my people, liberals, they spent like six months going through all of the ballots against Florida and found out that no matter how they counted the ballots, Bush won. --I cried at school. Because you used to win. --No one stole the election. --Nobody stole the election. --It wasn't fair. I was in seventh grade and some guy was like, "F*** me." --Oh, I am so with him. Can we get him here? --Can you walk us through cooking up a banger? Like when you're cooking up a big one, like are you in a lair or something? --Um. --Do you have like a candelabra and like. --It never really gets cooked up. It just comes. I get. --You feel a rush? --I get angry about something and this is how I talk. --Does it feel good though? You feel like flying? --No, it just seems like talking. You know when, you're good at getting them fucking pissed. Ask my friends. That's how I talk. In fact, what happened was I was very much censored under the old Twitter leadership because I realized there were so many things I'm about to tweet, I'm about to tweet, and my finger's hungering over, and I thought, oh, crap, I don't want to get suspended again. Okay, I'll just email it to my friends. You should just say that you're on Ambien, like Roseanne. Yeah, that worked. That saved her show. That really saved her. It was a good show. Wait, so do you ever worry you'll run out? Do you get writer's block? Do you ever worry, like, if I run out? Because you don't repeat bits. You're a woman of integrity as an artist, right? Like, the only thing left will be that word that you wanted to tweet. No, it wasn't a word. It would be a joke. Nobody says that. Maybe you do. I don't say that. I never have. I listen to the song. Well, that's why I advise young people today, don't listen to rap music. Oh, your rap is crap? You start singing along to it, and suddenly you're canceled. Listen, if it's all white people there, come on. It's fun. And you've never even listened to Drake? No, I've listened to a lot of it, but all these young kids start singing along to a rap song, and suddenly their college admissions are withdrawn, their faces are all, they're all over the internet, so stop listening to rap music, or hip-hop as they call it now. How do you say things like that, but you're only 21 years old? I know. I mean, I feel like when I look at, like, the talent tree that you kind of were at the, you're the genesis of. Okay, now I like you again, Adam. When I look at that, when I look at it, I'm like, they don't have the sauce. I'm like, you're kind of like, like, listen, like, when I, like, well, fucking Laura, Laura Loomer, whatever, like, I just see, like, people try to do you, and I'm like, granted, Laura Loomer is beautiful, okay? She's gorgeous. Okay, I know you're being sarcastic. She's not an unpleasant-looking person. She's not unpleasant? An unpleasant-looking person. She looks like she had a bee sting. I shouldn't have even mentioned this, because of course you're going to come back, but I'm not endorsing anything you're saying about Laura Loomer. Listen, we love her. She's gorgeous. But she doesn't have the talent that you have in terms of, like, you really get their, you get them going. That's why they won't appear with me. Well, the thing is, is, like, I feel like there's only one other person that's potentially on your level, and you know who that person is. What? No, not me. You know who the person is. In terms of, like, getting them, like, crazy, making them go crazy. You mean on my side or on the other side? One other talent on yours. I mean. It's a big one. No, they're playing. I mean, Rufo does. Not, like, you. Oh, I think he does. It's this one. Tucker? No. It's number 45 and 47. Oh, Trump. Oh, yeah. Like, you are kind of, like, on. Like, it's kind of just the two of you in my mind. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, seriously. No, everything he is going through. Younger people don't realize this. You do. Everything they are doing to him. I used to be like. I used to be the one who set that off. So I am totally on his side on the persecution. But he doesn't get in trouble. He gets away with it every time. You actually do get in trouble. What do you mean, get in trouble? I've had a pretty good career. Like, you get from MSNBC and, like. Trump gets away with it every time. It's awesome. He's not on MSNBC. Do you think at the end of the day it's maybe because you're, like, a woman? No, I don't think. It has hurt me. I've had a pretty good career, Adam. I've had 13 New York Times bestsellers. I'm not saying you don't have a good career. It hasn't destroyed me. I'm not saying you don't have a good career, right? What I'm saying is, is that, like, maybe. I haven't been prosecuted like Trump. Yeah, but he gets away with it every time. It's awesome. That's not exactly getting away with it. Teflon Don. That's not exactly. They put him through hell. He's the president, though. Now he is, because they put him through hell. On a substantive level. Yes. Is it true that, like, his immigration policy was kind of inspired by you? Yeah, he asked for a copy of Adios America. Uh-huh. And that whole Mexican. thing. I mean, I know you won't read. You wrote Mexican. Do you know him? That. Read that book. My publisher didn't want to publish it. The people who were recording my audio book, they were shocked and appalled. And now it's all over Twitter. It's coming out. It came out of Trump's mouth when he came down the escalator. No, our southern neighbors have a little problem with child rape. Who? In, like, Mississippi, Georgia? Oh, okay. No, you will not. Actually, I looked those up. You will not see child rape. It's freakishly rare among white people. It is not in Latin America. I saw you have a concept that you've developed called the American race, right? Listen, and I'm a pinko, right? It's not a race. You've spoken about that. I saw you speak about that. I've never spoken about that. Okay, but it's cultural, right? There is a concept of. American, yeah. American. That's why I say immigrants should wait three generations before bossing us around. We're the most successful, freest country in the world. Stop, listen, learn, observe how we do things. Don't, you know, come in and start bossing us around. Do you think of that, me, as first generation? No. I don't know. Maybe you are. Do you think I'm a dirty immigrant? Dirty immigrant. No, I don't know what you are, but. Please, please, please, buy my newspaper. Maybe if I knew more about you, I tell you I wouldn't vote for you as president. I'm Jewish, Lithuanian Jewish. I thought your parents were from South Africa. My dipshit ancestors got on the wrong boat. They thought they were going to Ellis Island, and they ended up in Africa. And then my dad got called up to go to Angola for the Civil War, and then I was born in L.A. Princess, buy my newspaper. Do you see me? Please, I have to go to the factory. Okay, I'm sorry. I don't think I'd take you for a president's daughter. I lose my arm in the machine at the factory. What? Your kids know. I think it would have. Yeah, your kids. You think of me as America, right? Pardon? I'm pretty American. You're pretty American. I love America. Look, I'm not trying to throw anyone out. The question with Vivek is. Thank you. who can run for president? And, yeah, I totally resent J. Paul What's-Her-Name and Ilhan Omar, people from absolutely failed cultures coming and denouncing our culture. Are you kidding? I'm with Trump. Hey, if you're so good at this, why don't you go back to your countries and fix it up? If you were in the failed culture, would you stay in the failed culture? Or would you go to, like, a dope country? I wouldn't. Look, I'm in a successful culture. I would not go to France and start telling them how to do stuff. I would not run for president of France. I would not go on TV and denounce them and tell them that all of their culture is terrible and we have to eliminate it and. What did she say? Ilhan? What was the. Oh, it's a daily thing. She says America stinks. She's like, rock and roll's bad. Well, hates white people. She hates. Hot rods? Hates white people. She hates white people? She hasn't said it that way. I think she has. She said, I hate white people. Well, again, that's like a Britannica quote of mine. It is impressive. Know that, like, if you come from, like, a poor country and then you are successful, isn't that. It's kind of impressive. She's not successful. We moved. She didn't get into Congress. No, it's all Somalis voting for her. Well, yeah, that's the neighborhood. Okay, they should all go. So they have to go? All of them. It's absurd that we're bringing in people and not even. I mean, it's far from not even asking them to learn our ways and to acclimate and to assimilate. But no, we're going to have little ghettos of them and they'll speak their own language there. And you have all these Somalis, including Ilhan Omar, coming out and saying, you know, my loyalty, I'm representing Somalia. Isn't it kind of just the same shit that they said about your Irish family, your full-blooded Irish family? It's kind of the same stuff they said, no? I don't have full. But, like, that early 20th century, they were saying that about, like, an Irish. No, my ancestors go back to 1640. Enough about that. And, oh, my gosh, if only the worst immigrants we had were the Irish. Oh, my gosh, we'd be in heaven right now. Yeah, and by the way, the Irish immigrants were a huge problem. Okay, but, like, what I'm saying is this. If only that was. But they're, like, America now, right? Irish, Italians, and Jews coming into Ellis Island, they're, like, kind of American at this point. Yeah, well, we're probably talking about, what, three or four generations. Yeah, but, like, what I'm saying is, like, like, people were saying the same thing you're saying about Ilhan Omar, about those guys. None of them, this is why I say, and by the way, they were absolutely, absolutely criminal and monstrous, the Irish. Jews brought us, you know, communism and anarchism. Italians brought us our first organized crime the country's ever had. Insider trading, too. We did that, too. So they weren't. It wasn't all sweetness and light, and, oh, my gosh, how could anyone ever say this? There was a reason to say, you better assimilate and get used to American ways. And who were the toughest on the Jews, by the way? The Ashkenazi Jews. What? No, wait, in America, would you drop the Nazi stuff? It's not funny, Adam. We're obsessed with the Nazis. It's so not funny. I love the attention. That is so hacky. What do you mean, hacky? It is so hacky. So Mel Brooks can't dress up in a Nazi uniform? No, I beg you to drop the hack jokes. You're a funny guy. That isn't. Listen. You keep thinking. The basis of Jewish comedy is Nazi, okay? Yeah, that's hilarious. What do you mean? You don't think Mel Brooks is funny? Isn't that funny? didn't say "Nutsy, Nutsy, Nutsy" every ten seconds as his punchline. --Do you think that. --This is such a hack move. You're above hackery. So. --And do you think that like maybe in the Warsaw Ghetto there are some guys that are really funny? --Yes, they did assimilate, and they didn't try running for president when they first got here. In fact, many of them were a problem, but I also want to go back to do you really think there's not a difference in Europeans, be they Jewish, Italian, and Irish, or and someone from Somalia? --They're black? --No, it's a very different culture. --But what I'm saying is it's kind of arbitrary, right? Unless you factor in like. --It's not arbitrary. --Unless you factor in like the skin, right? --Well, where did the Industrial Revolution happen? Who invented the wheel and who didn't? There are things other than skin color baby cakes. --Jews did? What are you saying? Or the Irish? --We didn't get the European Enlightenment for a hundred years, because we were like we're freezing cold and the Cossacks keep coming in and trying to cut our heads off. --As fascinated as I am with Jews, can we move on? --No, no, we were not modern. We were not. --Yes, I'm sure you were really horrible. --No, we were trash. --Yeah, so we're Irish and Italians. They were still Europeans. --We weren't Europeans. The Irish? They were like the British just like were like these people are disgusting. --Yeah, and they haven't seen Somalis yet. --The Italians, the northern Italians, the ones that came over then, the Sicilians and southern Italians, they're like these people are disgusting. They're all the people that were told they were disgusting, those three groups. --And yet out there someplace in the world there was something even more disgusting. --I don't know anything about Somalia, okay? I saw Blackhawk down. I saw Captain Phillips. I'm the captain now. That's pretty much the extent of my thing. --Yeah, they're lovely people. --But it's just like you can't possibly say that the Irish. and you even said that they contributed to organized crime. --Italians. --And you even said that they contributed to organized crime. --Italians. Not Irish. --And anarchism. --That was your people. --Yeah, yeah and whatever the. --Communism. --And and the Irish were just. --The Irish were just monstrous criminals, illiterate brutes. They were. Look it up. --Okay, what I'm saying is that's trash too, right? --Yeah, and it took like one generation to turn them around. Maybe two. All of them. All of them. --Well, you know. --Because they came from a culture that had roofs. Walls. Indoor plumbing. --They don't have buildings? --They had the wheel. --I think they have buildings in Somalia. --Yeah, they have nice little huts. --So, okay. There's that story of like the St. Louis, the boat, right? Of like people. --Are we back to the Jews again? --Well, let's pretend they're not Jewish. But like if. let's say that there were like some other guys that were trying to get away from the Holocaust. Do you think that as a. that it was a good thing? --How much time do we have left and how many more Jewish questions are we gonna have? --Well, there's a big Jewish question. --And how many Nazi questions? --And how many Nazi references are we gonna have? --I'm not saying. --This is getting a teensy bit repetitive. --This is. okay. Listen. Ask any friend. Zach, how much do I talk Nazis? Constantly. --Yeah. --Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just a thing that we're obsessed with. Listen. I mean, it's. --I'm so gonna need like a double espresso to stay away from your Nazi jokes. --Okay. We'll go out. We'll go for the. We'll go out for a double espresso after this. Okay. --In fact, I write about Jews in Adios America. --Okay. --As are some of our model immigrants on Hollywood is one of the examples of that. They. boy, talk about assimilators. They do wasp culture better than wasps do. --They do? --They took. yeah. Irving Berlin with all the patriotic and Easter Parade. All those movies. Christmas in Connecticut. --A lot of Christmas songs, too. --Ralph Lauren. That is wasp style. The way no wasp has ever done it. No. If only the Somalis could be like that. --Well, then that's my question. Like, what do you define as American culture? Because, like, I think American culture is awesome. Right? Like, that's why, like, when you hear, like, Adele singing, like, they do it in an American accent. Right? Because we're the coolest. Right? --I prefer King Charles accent. I think we should all learn that. --But he's not a singer. What I'm saying is, like, as a cultural exporter, American culture has been. has been awesome. --Yeah. --Right? Like, rock and roll. We've done, like, sick things. But, like, what do you define in your definition as, like, what is American culture? Right? Like, what is, like, what is the thing that we have to preserve? And then what is the thing that's under threat? --Well, the thing we have to preserve is. --Don't get mad at me. --No, I'm not. I'm thinking. That was a thoughtful question. --I'm nice. I'm a really nice guy. --That was a very thoughtful question. I was thinking about it. No one's ever put it exactly that way. So the American culture we have to preserve for the good of the country is one thing. The culture you're talking about, the movies, the music, the style, the fashions, the art, that sort of thing, that's a different kind of culture. I mean, I think it partially grows out from the culture that needs to be saved. And the culture that needs to be saved is. comes from the Magna Carta and Britain. It is a WASP culture. --But those are political documents. Those aren't cultural. --That's the culture that allows us the freedom and innovation and individualism to do all the other good stuff. And it's a very distinctive culture, and it ought to be examined by the rest of the world, because it has produced this incredibly prosperous, successful, free society, freer than any other country in the world. But I mean, this is part of what I said. I just thought of it now to the vague. Free speech is so not believed in the rest of the world. Unfortunately, it's not being believed a lot in this country right now. But it is something. Or the right to bear arms. That is something that generation after generation after generation of American, it is part of our DNA. Now we get it. We understand it. We don't have to read a book to know what to say on the debate stage. --It's awesome. It's awesome. --Yeah. --Yeah. --So that free culture allows. And also, you know, getting high IQ people is a good help. So you attach the high IQ people, and you get this, I think, quite a magnificent culture. I also think part of it is the mix, which I write about in Adios America. And it's about the only good mix, you know, where diversity kind of works. And that, is white and black people. We got so much of our culture from African Americans, from the slang, the styles, the music, the rock and roll. But that's, you know, part of one of the many terrible things about our mass immigration policy is I refer to them as foundational black Americans. Black Americans have been in this country as long as white Americans. But now we're bringing in immigrants from. They weren't all slaves, but. --From Africa. --They weren't all slaves, but, yes. In the northeast, they weren't. Anyway, yes, a lot of them were slaves. But they have been here from the beginning. They are part of this culture. And instead, immigrants come in, you know, 1975 and say, oh, we'll take the affirmative action. Oh, I'll take that job for the diversity officer at Harvard. And you know who are the worst? The Indians. --So, you think I should go back to Africa? --Yeah, I hear things are going great. --You're so mean. You're so mean. --Do you feel, do you feel like, like, I don't know, like, don't get mad at me. But why do you like being mean? --My favorite thing about you. --What? Like, what happens? --I'm constantly telling you, don't get mad at me. --When did you start being mean? --I am not mean. --You have been getting mad at me because. --I am sweet. --Apparently, I'm trans shooters, or I'm a trans shooter. I don't know. It's just like, don't you think, like, sometimes you say something, you hurt someone's feelings? --You know, they've done studies. --Like, it may have hurt someone's feelings. --Maybe it hurts Ilhan Omar's feelings to hear someone say that. --Yeah, and they're really worried about white Americans. --How do you know? You never met her. --I know the things she says about white Americans. --I don't know if she says it that way. --But anyway, do I worry that it hurts people's feelings? So, there are all these studies on the differences in men and women. We are biologically very different. And one of the biggest ones is, besides, you know, the pickle jar test, is males will always, if the question is, are you more interested in the truth? --Yeah. --Or people's feelings. Males say, no, the truth. And females overwhelmingly say, feelings, we don't care about the truth. --But it's not nice to hurt people's feelings. --It's not nice to lie. --Well, like, okay. So, if you see, like, you live in New York City, right? And like, kind of one of the nice things I've always felt about living here is just like, most, it's like, we don't have a lot of space. Most people are kind of leaving each other alone, right? Like, there's a ton of, like, I go to the deli, there's a guy from Yemen. He's not doing, like, rat, like, terror, radical terrorism. He's just giving me, like, cigarettes, because, like, forget it. --No, they're great. --Just like, I feel like, living in New York, it's like, you don't walk down the street and see some type of immigrant. You're like, oh, god damn it. That's, is it annoying for you? --No, that's silly. But it's, New York, the poor cities have always been like that. But when it's like that in, you know, Utah, when it's like that in North Dakota, you are changing the fabric of the country. Yes, some number of immigrants we've always had come in. And yeah, they've been great. But for one thing, we took slightly different immigrants, but mostly we took them in smaller portions and allowed them and their kids and their grandkids time to get with the program. We're so not doing that now. --But when you live here and there's all different types of people, I, genuinely speaking, I don't have a problem with any minority group other than the Khases. I mean, like, they're. -- --Like, the traffic, the traffic in South Williamsburg is terrible. They park their fucking vans in the middle of the street. as like they're bad citizens they don't fix you anything when it breaks in your apartment the massive number they're the worst ones we can admit the rest of the rest of everyone is number of Venezuelan criminals were not like a blessing to this city are there Venezuelan criminals that bother you bothering bothering you yeah you know where the migrant hotel is by Grand Central Station and the Yale Club and the Harvard Club it became like one of the most dangerous areas in the city and yes they're raping kids they're stealing from going by on their mopeds are raped I'll rape her I'll rape her it's a food they eat yeah I don't think they were raped cut that um I just think that like listen you know what you need to the way they talk about the way that yeah but that makes people retarded the way people talk about New York City on the news as is this like hellscape cesspit it's not you're like you're talking shit about us our
