Callaroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:12.640
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy News, a daily

3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.199
briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry.

4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.800
I'll do the political stuff in the second half Today

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.199
many things can be true at once. That stuff is

6
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.960
both super important, but I also understand what this podcast

7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.160
is and isn't, and it's not a political podcast. I

8
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.480
always trying to do the politics through the lens of comedy.

9
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.039
So let's do the fun stuff. In the first half,

10
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.920
Shane Gillis was out snowboarding over the weekend. Like a

11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.159
lot of the country, we had that winter storm at

12
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.960
Central Park in New York City got eleven inches of snow.

13
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.799
Which I grew up in New York. I went from

14
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.399
kindergarten through college and had one snow day my entire

15
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.520
career in New York City. There was one snow day.

16
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.359
There was a blizzard I think in like nineteen eighty

17
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.359
one or so, and I had one two hour delay

18
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.679
in high school and that was it. So eleven inches

19
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.880
of snow New York City is a lot. So Shane

20
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.079
Gillis hit Central Park and was joined by snowboarding icon

21
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.200
Shawn White, now luckily a bunch of people with cameras

22
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:06.799
just happened to be there. I mean, it is New

23
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.319
York City, but oh, total tangent. But to the point,

24
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.400
I'm a Youtubo fan. Do you remember at one point

25
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.239
Bono was supposedly in a bike accident in Central Park

26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.079
and then he missed some shows And there was even

27
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.280
like an Apple event that Bruce Springsteen had a fill

28
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.799
in as the singer for you too. This is all

29
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.040
things that happened. You could look it up, but I

30
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.040
want to digress too long. You mean to tell me

31
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.200
Bono had a bike accident in New York City and

32
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.280
nobody filmed it. Nobody saw the ambulances coming, Nobody was like, hey,

33
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.760
that's Bono. Zero chance that that story's true. I don't

34
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.000
believe it, because even if you're Shane Gillis and you're

35
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.359
snowboarding with Sewn White, people film it. As the story goes,

36
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.280
at one point in the day, Shawn White decided to

37
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.560
perform a daredevil stunt and involves Shane Gillis and tires

38
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.920
co star Chris O'Connor. Shane and Chris sat in front

39
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.439
of a freshly constructed jump Shawn White caught some are

40
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.959
and jumped over their heads. Now Yahoo has to calm

41
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.359
down with this headline Olympic legend fine Shawn White jumps

42
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.439
over too Famous comedians in Central Park, one of which

43
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.560
was Shane Gillis, who's kind of famous. Chris O'Connor, I

44
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.080
don't know about that famous. John Mullaney was on Mike

45
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.319
Berbiglia's podcast and got some headlines sharing that he is

46
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.159
supporting a lot of Olivia Munn's family members. Oliney told

47
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.520
b Biggs she's Vietnamese and she has a large Vietnamese

48
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.280
family in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, of which I am one

49
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.560
of the significant financial contributors. For the first thirty nine

50
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.199
years of my life, I supported zero Vietnamese people, probably none,

51
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.039
and now I have ten on the books. With parents

52
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:33.919
of some success, you don't really do anything for them,

53
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:35.560
and it brings me great joy to help out, to

54
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.680
help and do fun things for Olivia's family. Joked, are

55
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.719
you thinking when you're having a nice relationship with them

56
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.039
that in the back of their mind they're thinking, I

57
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.400
wonder if he'll send me a thousand dollars. That's hilarious.

58
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.360
Olney said, there's no wonder in the back of the mind.

59
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.719
You mean, the front of the voice, the front of

60
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.360
the voice. The words coming out of their mouth for

61
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.599
bigs was like Olivia's family says, how much money do

62
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.560
you have? I actually like that. M'laney said, yeah, I

63
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.599
tell them. They love it. They couldn't like it more.

64
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.120
Bert Kreischer revealed that he's taking a break from drinking,

65
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.840
and it sounds like it's a little serious here. He

66
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:03.800
is on we might be drunk with Mark Norman and

67
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:04.360
Sam Morrel.

68
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.199
We need a drink, let's have it, can't I can't drink.

69
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.639
We'll drink medication. Yeah, blood clots? What Oh my legs?

70
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.840
Yeah, all right, so we won't drink it.

71
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.840
No, no, no, drink you know I never cared about that. Yeah, bad,

72
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.240
you are right? And my lungs? Yeah yeah, blood clots guys, guys,

73
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.520
I'm saving it for Rogan.

74
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.919
So is that from drinking or no, it's from passing out.

75
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:29.240
On a plane.

76
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.360
Seems people really liked Free Bert. Flicks patrols that it

77
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.240
was the sixth most watched TV show on Netflix worldwide.

78
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.960
Free Bert is trending in thirty nine countries. It's not

79
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.000
the most watched show in any of the countries, but

80
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.120
it ranked as high as number two in Australia, In Canada,

81
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.120
South Africa, and the United States, it ranked number three.

82
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.800
TV Insider asked Bert, now the show's out, has it feel?

83
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.080
Bert said, nerve wracking. It gets sex from higher ups

84
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.719
at Netflix and they're so excited. They said it was

85
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.240
such a great show and they're excited for people to

86
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.039
see it. I just wrote back, it's very different from

87
00:03:58.039 --> 00:03:59.680
a stand up special. You know, with a stand up special,

88
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.639
little form well, because you've done the material, you know

89
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.039
the material works and you'll be proud of the material forever.

90
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.080
With a TV show, you get a four wing swing

91
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.360
at it and then you're in the edit bay and

92
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.680
you hope people like it. I'm just hoping new fans

93
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.719
find it and identify with it. I've gotten a really

94
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.560
good response from the show so far that I didn't

95
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.800
really expect. Gil King loved it, which I did not

96
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.120
see coming. Drew Barrymore loved it, which I did not

97
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.319
see coming. Do you hear Bert Kreischer going mainstream doing

98
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.480
Drew and Gil King? It is cash in time because

99
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.079
the edge is off. Bert says, that's the type of

100
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.120
fans of trying to reach out to all right, We're

101
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.720
a line there Bert fans who are unfamiliar with my fans,

102
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.000
maybe you know me as the guy who takes a

103
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.639
shirt off. Then they say this and they can see

104
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.639
themselves in me. Chris Spencer is getting a special on Hulu.

105
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.160
It's called Goat Adjacent. It'll be on Hulu February fourth.

106
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.160
Tape that the Cicada in Downtown La Chris Spencer touches

107
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.600
on everything from marriage and family to aging, race and

108
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.839
his Jamaican roots. Jim Brewer is one of the panelists

109
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.240
on Kill Tony this week. I saw a lot of

110
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.879
people saying it was a pretty good episode and they

111
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.800
were impressed by Brewer rolling with it, So I'll be

112
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.519
curious to check that one out. Pete Davidson is apparently

113
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.600
filmed an ad for Sonic. It is assumed that will

114
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.759
appear during the Super Bowl, but there are pictures of

115
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.560
Pete clearly in front of a Sonic holding a Sonic

116
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.319
burger or something. Jimmy Carr has blasted Brooklyn Beckham. Have

117
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.480
you seen this? The Beckham family is all fighting. Jimmy

118
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.120
Carr called Brooklyn Beckham an entitled Neppo baby in case

119
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.759
you missed it, on January nineteenth, Brooklyn Beckham posted a

120
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.319
lengthy statement on Instagram where he announced he has no

121
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.319
wish to reconcile with his family, including David Beckham and

122
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.600
Victoria Beckham, and he's standing up for himself for the

123
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.240
first time in his life. Jimmy Carr said, he claims

124
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.120
he's not just a nepo baby, He's a chef. I

125
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.160
think he's so entitled. He's mixed up being a chef

126
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.480
with making his own dinner. He probably brushes his teeth

127
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.959
and thinks I'm actually an e fing brilliant dentist. And

128
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.040
guess who's back in the news. That guy Jay Leno.

129
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.959
He's the worst. Remember last year he waited on late

130
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.079
night comedy and the guy's always taken care of his

131
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.199
ill wife. This guy, I can't believe this guy. He

132
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.079
spoke to the Springfield News son and he said, Nicki

133
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.639
Glazer's great because here's the thing. Your stage act is

134
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.160
so fil healthy, but it's funny in comedy. The one

135
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.560
exception is that everything's okay as long as it's funny.

136
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.079
When you see her do the Golden Globe, she really

137
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.800
works on her set. She'll go to five night clubs

138
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.480
a night just to try the five minutes and keep

139
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.600
taking words out to make it tighter and tighter. She's

140
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.399
a real pro, and I really admire her. She's a

141
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.319
professional comedian and she gages from materials to the audience.

142
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.800
And that's what I try to do. Yeah, I bet

143
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.240
you do. Jay the worst person who ever lived, went

144
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:21.959
on to say, I mean, your job as a comedians

145
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.839
tell a joke. It's nice to be socially aware and

146
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.240
be conscious and do all that kind of stuff. I

147
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.759
tried to do that in my private life, but to

148
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.680
bring it to an audience, it's not what they're there for.

149
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.879
You went to Roddy Daves Sheffield because he had jokes.

150
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.600
He just made you laugh, just stupid, silly, you know.

151
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.839
And that's what we try to do here. Jay says

152
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.639
he tries to have a joke every six to nine

153
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.600
seconds because the audience must be engaged. And that's the

154
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.160
old Bob Hope rule. If you tell six jokes a minute,

155
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.399
one of them might land. Jay said, I don't use

156
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.279
obscenities in my act now because I'm offended by it.

157
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.399
I'm just bored by it. I find it really lazy,

158
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.399
you know. And then when I say that, I'm the

159
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.600
old guy complaining about the new comic. Plus, for the

160
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.759
comedy to really work, there's to be a certain structure.

161
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.240
I thought this was interesting. Jay said he rarely writes

162
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.439
any of his jokes down because he's dyslexic. He tries

163
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.920
to keep all of jokes in his head, but he

164
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.279
says he's got to notch in his brain for things

165
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.040
that are funny, and he tends to forget things that

166
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.120
aren't funny. Really interesting here, Jay Leno said, it makes

167
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.800
a footnote in your brain and you just remember to

168
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.360
try and say it again somewhere. It doesn't always work,

169
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.199
but for the most part it does. When bad things

170
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:18.879
happen to me, I seem to forget him. I know

171
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.800
my parents passed away. I love my parents very much,

172
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.399
but I still can't tell you what day they did

173
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.680
because I don't want to remember that. With other things

174
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.319
that get to laugh of stories that get a reaction,

175
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.759
I remember them like they happened yesterday. Did you vote

176
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.959
yet for Comedy Survivor Week four? I was checking out

177
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.000
the Facebook group. Everybody was super active, lot of votes

178
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.120
going on. There's some early momentum against Tignataro, but then

179
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.879
some people are hanging back to see which way the

180
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.639
wind is blowing and how they want to weigh in

181
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.759
on that. I thought that was interesting to hang back

182
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.000
until later in the week's strategy. Very interesting. And there's

183
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.439
also some people like Ron White, and I think there

184
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.759
was a Jim Gaffigan vote. Some people who hadn't gotten

185
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.839
votes before are now getting votes. So Comedy Survivor is

186
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.600
heating up. So what do you do? You go to

187
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.319
the face book group, Daily Comedy News podcast group. You

188
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.319
write down the name of the person you want off.

189
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.160
Voting ends end of day on Thursday. A couple quick

190
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:12.439
notes on Late Night Colbert during his taping with Seth Myers,

191
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.879
revealed that the series finale of The Late Show with

192
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.720
Stephen Colbert will air Thursday, May twenty. First, I know

193
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.560
somebody who wants to travel that week. That's going to

194
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.879
be a little annoying. We'll figure it out. The rest

195
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.680
of today's program will be quite serious, and I personally

196
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.600
believe if you do have a forum, even if it's

197
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.320
this one, you should use it as expected. Late Night

198
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.080
did comment on the killing of Alex Pretty Jimmy Kimmel,

199
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.799
I find very powerful here in this clip. I'm about

200
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.120
to play. It's a long clip, but I think Jimmy

201
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.799
Kimmel did a great job here.

202
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:43.360
Now.

203
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.519
I spent the weekend, like probably a lot of you did,

204
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.399
looking at my phone and just feeling shocked and sick

205
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.519
about what is happening in Minneapolis. These one video after another,

206
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.519
screaming people being torn from their families, Americans, people who

207
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.720
were born in the United States being pulled out of

208
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.399
their cars for the crime of having an accent or whatever. Children,

209
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:08.039
small children, babies being tear gassed, taken into custody, separated

210
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.639
from their parents, just one atrocity after another being committed

211
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.679
by this gang of poorly trained, shamefully led, mask wearing goons.

212
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:17.639
And that is what they are.

213
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:22.320
They're goons committing vile, heartless and even criminal acts. And

214
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.360
it's sickening to watch, and it's frustrating to watch. It's

215
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.399
like we're all being forced to play a game that

216
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.039
has no rules. They just make up the rules as

217
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.120
they go along. We see these videos in which we

218
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.720
clearly see one of our fellow Americans executed by ice,

219
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.639
and they won't even admit that it was a mistake.

220
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.519
They I mean, they say that the Honda SUV Renee

221
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.159
Good was driving, was weaponized. They say the gun Alex

222
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.879
Pretty had a license to carry in an open carry

223
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.399
state or right. Many of these same people screamed very

224
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.440
loudly about when it was Kyle Rittenhouse carrying the gun,

225
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.039
a gun that Alex Pretty did not even draw, did

226
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.679
not touch, a gun that was taken from him by

227
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:00.960
one of the agents before was shot dead by the

228
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.240
other ones. They fired ten times on an ICU nurse.

229
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.480
They're telling us, well, I was justified. You know, is

230
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.639
that the law and order that you voted for, if

231
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:11.759
you voted for this.

232
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.639
Every day is a nightmare now.

233
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.799
My wife and I have family in Minneapolis are afraid

234
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.679
to take their kids to school, They're afraid to go

235
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.919
to work, and I can only imagine how people aren't

236
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.159
white feel about this. How does this end? What's the plan?

237
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:25.480
Here?

238
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.159
Is the plan to just keep doing this in every

239
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.480
city that didn't vote for Donald Trump?

240
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.000
Does anyone on any.

241
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.200
Side believe this is good leadership? We keep saying we

242
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.120
need to find subjects that we can agree on. Can

243
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:44.120
we agree that peaceful protesters, including moms driving SUVs on

244
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.879
their way back after dropping their six year old off

245
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.600
at school, and a nurse who stepped in to protect

246
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.559
a woman from harm don't deserve to be shot dead

247
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.559
in the street by the people we are paying to

248
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:56.279
protect us.

249
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:57.559
Can we agree on that?

250
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.799
A really great job by Jimmy Kimmel. I was touched

251
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.000
emotionally watching it, but Jimmy was nowhere near done.

252
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.120
Can we agree that.

253
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.559
When we see a person murdered in cold blood that

254
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.600
there should at least be an investigation of that, and

255
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:16.799
that head of ironically titled Head of Homeland Security has

256
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.480
the responsibility to get facts before telling us that what

257
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.279
we saw we did not see. I mean, if we

258
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.000
can't agree on that, forget it. Then this one seems

259
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.360
pretty open and shut to me. I think we can

260
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.240
agree on this one. It's on video.

261
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.000
Look at it, do your own research, and.

262
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.840
Then once you do, once you form your own opinion

263
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.279
without being told what you saw, say something. Where are

264
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.120
the reasonable voices on the right. I mean, we don't

265
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.039
have to agree on everything, but come on.

266
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.519
I also have a long clip from Stephen Colbert, also strong.

267
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.960
I like Kimmel's a little better, but here's Stephen Colbert.

268
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.320
Only seventeen days after Renee Good was shot and killed

269
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.039
by an Ice agent, another American citizen was shot and

270
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.000
killed by Customs and Border Protection agents, and again Trump

271
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.600
administration officials immediately blamed the victim, calling him a domestic terrorist,

272
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.320
but videos appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting.

273
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.480
That analysis was from the New York Times, and they

274
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:17.200
weren't alone. They were joined by NBC News, PBS News, Reuter's,

275
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.360
The Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, as well

276
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.320
as your own Eyes and Ears magazine and I know

277
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.200
that's p on my leg weekly.

278
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.600
The man who was shot.

279
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:34.399
And killed by CPP was named Alex Pretty, and the

280
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.000
administration is making a big deal out of the fact

281
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.559
that Preddi was legally carrying a handgun, but as you

282
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.679
can see in all the videos, he never pulled out

283
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.759
or brandished that gun. Now, I'm not going to play

284
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.039
you that video. You've all seen it, and if you

285
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.720
haven't seen it, it's because you didn't want to own

286
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.440
I don't blame you. But here's what the video shows.

287
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.720
At first, mister Pretty appears to be filming the scene

288
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.399
with his phone and directing traffic. An agent begins shoving

289
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.320
the demonstrators and squirts pepper spray at their faces. Preddy

290
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.840
moves to help one of the protesters who was sprayed,

291
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.399
as other agents approach and pull him from behind. Several

292
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.000
agents tussled mister Pretty before bringing him to his knees.

293
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.120
He appears to resist as the agents grab his legs,

294
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.600
pushed down on his back, and strike him repeatedly. An

295
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.960
agent crouches down, reaches toward Preddy, and lifts a gun

296
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.720
from Preddy's back near his waistband. Another agent unholsters his

297
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:28.279
gun at virtually the same moment and points it at

298
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:32.000
Pretty's back at close range. Two other agents open fire,

299
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.720
shooting him in the back as he lays on the ground.

300
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:36.000
At least ten.

301
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:42.360
Shots were fired, killing him. Masks government agents disarmed an

302
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.639
American citizen and then executed him in the streets.

303
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.279
That's what it looks like, John Stewart Wade in. I

304
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.759
went to pull the audio, and you know, John does

305
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.000
something different in he was diving in and out of

306
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.200
making serious points around jokes, and I just I feel

307
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.080
like the audio would actually undercut his argument. So when

308
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.519
John was serious, said they're lying. We saw it, and

309
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.080
that's up Braisen. They lie when they know we've seen

310
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.000
the truth. Imagine how they lie when there's no evidence

311
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.080
to contradict them, and that, more than anything, explains why

312
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.279
Alex Pretty was really a threat, because he was brandishing

313
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:14.960
a weapon, a handt held aluminum ten ADP sixty fps

314
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.559
weapon of mass illumination. Because there's nothing more dangerous to

315
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.519
regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth.

316
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.360
And then there's Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy I often defend Jimmy

317
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:32.559
Fallon on this show, but this, Jimmy, come on, man,

318
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.960
all right, So I'm gonna play you a clip from Jimmy.

319
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.000
When you start to hear the crazy applause, that's when

320
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.200
New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani made a walk on.

321
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.120
I trimmed the audience reaction. It was quite lengthy. And

322
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:48.480
again I try to defend Jimmy Fallon, but sometimes, dude,

323
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.399
you gotta read the room. I get what the Tonight

324
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.159
show is, but this just is like, what are we doing.

325

Here's Jimmy Fallon's show.

326
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:57.360
Yeah, it's freezing out there.

327
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:58.320
It's so called JD.

328
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:08.399
Van shrunk to the size of Mark Rubio. It's it

330
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:09.720
I watched the.

331
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.840
Millennia movie just to warm my heart. You know, it's

332
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.200
so cold. President Trump got a space heater installed in

333
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:17.159
his MRI machine.

334
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:25.440

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:39.480
Good Night everybody, mommy, everyone, but seriously, stay inside, stay warmed,

337

338
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.440
Thanks Now, despite my commentary on what Jimmy chose to do,

339
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.159
let me play that last piece again, because it's a

340
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.919
little lettermany the way they wrapped it up after the

341
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.120
good night everybody, and the music staying just here. Listen

342
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.039
to this little part again.

343
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:58.480
The rent froze itself. Good Night, everybody, mommy.

344
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.320
Everyone reminds me a little of twelve thirty David Letterman.

345
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.320
Maybe it's just me and that is your comedy news
