Do you think that things are gonna be different this time?
Do you really think that, say there is this deep state, right?
Do you think we can really get away from it?
Or is it just a lost cause?
And sometimes it's like, I almost just wish they,
my thing is, I just wish they would, I just wanna know.
I don't like not knowing.
Just tell me.
I'll do the game.
You know what I'm saying?
But tell me what the game is.
Tell me what the rules are.
I understand that impulse.
I think that, I think the best part of Trump winning
is that it's been the cultural effect of all of it,
I think has been amazing.
Like, I really think everything like from November to now
has just been great.
It's been great.
There's been this big reset that we needed in America.
It's like the corporate media is crumbling.
Wokeism is receding.
Like the insane kind of political correctness
of the last few years seems to be like largely defeated.
I think all of that is great.
I don't think the deep state is going anywhere
in the next few years.
But that, I don't, like, I'm very optimistic long-term.
I think that, you know, it's easy to say, like,
we're never gonna beat this thing.
And it's always gonna be this way.
They have so much power.
We have so little.
But the truth is, like, you know, communism fell.
Slavery was abolished.
America declared independence from the British monarchy.
You know, these things all would have seemed impossible.
And you could have easily said, oh, this is just gonna be here forever.
It's just the way of the world.
But it wasn't.
Those things are gone now.
And I think there's no reason why America can't have, like, a great kind of, a
great reformation,
a great return to the best things about America.
A huge increase in liberty and decrease in awful state corruption.
Like, I don't see any reason why that can't happen,
especially when they don't have the propaganda machine anymore.
Yeah.
Well, it's just interesting.
At what point do you think that there could be a revolution in America?
Because if people don't trust the FBI now, they don't trust the CIA now,
you're not sure that your FBI isn't out to get your own.
It's like, what is even, like?
It's, well, right.
And then on top of that, like, you had, say, someone like Donald Trump.
Look, the first time Donald Trump ran, right?
All of the political class, all of the media, all of Hollywood,
they all said, this guy is unacceptable.
You cannot support this guy.
He still won, but he also won on, like, a razor-thin margin,
lost the popular vote, and just happened to win the right swing states against
Hillary.
So there was, like, a little bit of a caveat.
But then after January 6th, with how much they pumped into, like,
this is the worst thing ever, and look at this horrible guy.
You could never support him.
Then they go after him with the legal cases.
Then he almost gets his brains blown out on national television.
And then after all of that, all the years of he's a Nazi,
democracy's over, he's Hitler,
the American people go, well, we like him even more now.
Like, that's just so crazy.
It's so crazy that there's just trust in every American institution has evaporated.
They have nothing.
I mean, it's unbelievable that the most famous Hollywood celebrities can't move
the needle at all.
The entire-
In fact, it's an anti-movement.
If they get- the second one of them is involved, I'm fucking out, bro.
Well, that's right.
It almost like- well, that is- and I mean, look, even me, I will admit I'm
guilty of it, too,
that I- I- right away, you know, you see another celebrity.
They'll be endorsing Kamala Harris tonight.
And I'm like, what did you do at the Diddy party?
What do they got on you?
You know, what do you- like, it's just- there's so much mistrust of the whole
thing.
And it's- you know, the- the thing about it is, is a lot of us- like I said
this in our conversation already today at one point.
I don't even remember if it was about Russiagate or COVID or what,
but I said all those people still have their jobs or whatever.
You know, if you- if you look at the New York Times or you look at CNN or all
these places,
they still got people there who sold us the war in Iraq, and they still have
their jobs.
You know, like they didn't get fired.
These people make great money.
They're still- and nothing- but it's like- it's something almost like spiritual.
There's always a price.
Even if you think there was no consequence, oh, there is a consequence.
And so, like, you just think for so many years, they lied us into wars, into
financial recessions.
They- they lied about everything about COVID.
They lied about Russiagate.
They lied about all this shit.
They lied about Joe Biden not being senile.
They lied about Kamala Harris not being retarded.
They lied about everything they could think of.
Yeah.
And there is a price for that.
And the price is that no one believes you anymore.
Yeah.
Not even the people that believed you believe you.
That's what's crazy.
Yeah.
Is watching people that were, like, devout believers come on over and be like,
I just don't believe these people, you know?
And there's so many people like that.
So, like, could there be a revolution?
I mean, you know, there's- the American government is still so powerful.
It's not like they're getting overthrown anytime soon.
Right.
But-
And we're not saying that, government.
No.
If the government is listening, I highly recommend everybody follow the law.
But there is- there's been a revolution in communication already.
There's been a revolution in the media.
I mean, they all- this happened a while ago, but after this election, they all
kind of admit it.
They all kind of admit that, like, look, like Donald Trump did, like, your show
and Schultz and-
Oh, that blew my mind.
And this was a huge factor for him, you know?
And this was- and I will say, I think particularly yours was- I mean, obviously,
Rogan's was humongous.
Oh, yeah.
But particularly the interview with you saw, like, a much different side of
Donald Trump than I'd ever seen before.
And that's crazy.
It's crazy that there's been this revolution.
Oh, it's crazy.
You know, there hasn't been- there's not a lot of people where I'm from who
even get to ask questions a lot of times.
No, I don't think-
There's not a lot of- there's not a lot of people where I'm from who ever even
getting to raise their hand in front of a president
and ask a question about something that means something to them.
You know, a lot of times, yeah, you just get pigeonholed into being some type
of way.
And so then, as a person, as part of even just a group, you start to feel like,
well, I don't even fucking exist.
You know what I'm saying?
And I think that's part of how I always felt my whole life.
I don't even- nobody- nobody gives a fuck about a poor off-white kid.
You know what I'm saying?
That's the last fucking group.
And so, yeah, I think, I don't know.
I don't know what I'm saying, man.
I'm just-
Well, dude, I think it's a really great point.
I mean, if you think about it, like, at least my whole life, right?
Well, finally, we made our own voices because you don't even see that I am a
voice.
You don't even think I have a fucking voice.
And so, finally, you don't think- and you also- you don't think I work hard
enough to fucking put my voice out there either.
Dude, they called it flyover country.
Yeah.
That's what they call it.
Flyover country.
And what is flyover country?
Everything except New York and L.A.
I know.
Right?
The whole rest of this annoying country that you got to fly over on your way
from New York to L.A.
There- if you think about, like, when we grew up, me and you grew up in the era
of the TV.
There wasn't- we didn't watch shit on YouTube and stuff- you know, this didn't
exist.
We watched what was on TV.
And TV was made in New York and L.A.
That's where it was made.
And every show, whether it was Seinfeld or Friends or whatever, it was all-
these shows were about living in a city on the coast and they were about people
who lived there.
And then just think about how bizarre that is.
You have this giant country that occupies the middle part of North America
called the United States of America.
It's this huge country.
And you only have representation from these two coastal cities.
And this has now been totally blown open where it's like, yeah, I think for the
first time, people in the middle of the country, in the south of the country,
can actually have a voice.
And why shouldn't they, when there's tens of millions of people who, like, fall
into those categories?
Yeah.
Um, look, it's crazy to me, being in stand-up comedy, uh, it's been a total
revolution since the- when I started.
Like, the path for how you become successful is so different.
Podcasts weren't a thing when I first started.
And so, having a revolution in government, that still seems like we're not
there, but there has been a huge cultural revolution over the last 15 years.
In communication, or in- what is it called?
Yeah, I think- I think in media, in entertainment, in comedy, in- yeah.
Thank you.
