Bill Burr - Trump & Clinton Backlash | Having A Platform

i still can't believe donald trump won i still cannot fucking believe that um
a reality show tv star got fucking elected oh jeez is there um two of the worst
fucking
candidates ever to fucking face each other's in my humble fucking opinion but
what the fuck do i
know evidently i know a lot considering a lot of the fucking emails i got and
all the shit on
twitter i got a lot of shit for my appearance on uh conan which i gotta be
honest with you guys was
not a fucking easy one to do it was the day after the election everyone was in
shock i think including
trump supporters because i went back east and i talked to a couple friends of
mine and they voted
for trump and i was like dude i can't believe that guy won and they were like
yeah i can't fucking
believe it either so i don't know maybe this is like when the patriots beat the
rams i have no
fucking idea but anyways that was not an easy uh an easy spot to be in you know
and i stayed true to
who i was an uninformed jackass who can't fucking read out loud who's in the
conspiracy theory i talked
about hillary dressing up like a yak and fucking people under a mountain i
talked about trump being
a dope and that whole ridiculous about building a fucking wall i trashed them
both equally but you
know people who vote for colors right you got a blue tie you can say nothing
wrong you got a red tie
you can't do anything wrong right i got so much fucking shit it's so amazing
how people hear things
i actually my point in all of that was like you know it'd be kind of cool if we
all just stop yelling
at each other all right all right if you guys if you want to hear my fucking
theories
this is my theory okay i think trump got in because of eight years of obama and
the progressive left
and i think they got in because of eight years of george bush and i think and
bush and cheney and i think
they got in because of eight years of clinton and i think clinton got in
because of 12 years of reagan
and bush it just it just keeps it goes like way conservative and then it goes
way fucking liberal
and then it goes way conservative you know what i mean i mean think about where
america was right
where when bush and cheney were there all right and then six years later or so
during
obama's presidency like bruce jenner transitioned got her own show and was
named woman of the year
okay now that is not something that you would think could happen in oh seven
six years later boom that's
where the fuck it's at and i don't know and what i the my problem with both
sides is the way they've
ram their ideology down your fucking throat and that if you have a difference
of an opinion
you know on the right it's usually it means you're against america you don't
support the troops
and uh you're a socialist and on the left if you don't agree with them you're a
caveman you're a
fucking sexist you're a racist you're a homophobe you're any of those fucking
things
um but both sides equally try to get you to lose your job and they try to
destroy your ability
to earn a living because of your beliefs and for the life of me as confusing as
to prevent defenses
can somebody please explain to me how if somebody says something politically or
socially that you
don't agree with um spawning a movement to get them to lose their fucking job
how that makes
that person um more supportive of the troops america less of a socialist
whatever the fuck
it is you think they are or how that makes them less racist less homophobic
like um i don't know
that doesn't work yelling at people taking away their jobs you know what i mean
it's like way back when
the dixie chicks criticized george bush the fucking right all of a sudden they're
they're they pressured
radio stations to not play their music they were they were fucking running over
their cds with steam
rollers and you know people like dude what the fuck you're going a little far
it's like no they had a
right to say that we had a right to respond it's tit for tat it's like that's
not tit for tat
you know tit for tat is they trash george bush you defend george bush and you
trash them trying to
systematically destroy their career and their ability to make a living is not
tit for tat that's like
somebody flicked your fucking ear and then you took out a fucking knife and cut
their trying to cut
their jugular so and personally speaking i think both sides are uh are really
guilty of that they're really
guilty when you get really far left and you get really far right they're really
guilty of just they
bully people and they're so fucking wrapped up in that they're so goddamn right
about everything
that they really become condescending insufferable assholes and um i don't know
so i try to i try to stay
in the middle because i would never tell you who the fuck to vote for nor did i
ever on this thing
unlike what most people saw dude i got people on fucking twitter it's hilarious
like
they just sitting there they first of all they think they know me because they
watch me on a talk
show and then they think they know how i voted like the amount of people that
thought i voted
for trump and then the amount of people that thought i voted for hillary all
the trump people think i voted
for fucking hillary and all the trump all the uh hillary people think i voted
for trump i didn't vote for
either one of them i told you guys right along bernie sanders was my fucking
guy that was my fucking guy
and watching him getting boxed out by the media because they felt hillary had
more of a chance
and they didn't give a that they were just voting just more of the same more of
the same
um the only thing i will commend with the right is they got their bernie sanders
in
i mean the guy is a fucking show
but at least you know at least they stuck by their rebel i wish that they had
done that with i would
have loved to seen bernie against fucking donald trump i think bernie would
have had a better shot
i just think the clintons had too much fucking baggage
you know and even as a clinton supporter you know that's true how little did
bill clinton talk
during that whole time he didn't talk at all this is a former president who had
a successful presidency
i mean even though he got impeached for sticking a cigar lying about you know
monica lawinsky he didn't
talk like al gore lost to george bush you know he didn't use bill clinton he
goes i gotta get the
fuck away from you dude you're a fucking nightmare you're a fucking nightmare
you're a political
fucking nightmare and the dude's own wife had to do the exact same fucking
thing
i don't know they had a ton of fucking baggage you know and hillary supporters
won't
fucking look at it objectively at the same way trump supporters won't look at
that i mean
um i don't know it's just it's a fucked up time but i will tell you this though
at the time
for screaming and yelling at each other is over i feel and it would be nice
is if those people who aren't crazy fucking left and crazy right could kind of
maybe uh
break bread a little bit um which i don't think is going to happen because um
of eight years of obama and eight years of progressive the progressive left
becoming word police and uh
and and um i get social police and idea police and all of this stuff telling
you what the
fuck you're supposed to think about everything and what you're supposed to say
and what word
you're supposed to use and i really think it's overly simplifying saying that
the right voted the
way they did because they want to say homophobic and racial slurs just turning
people into it that's
like both of them they always turn each other into like a cartoon like you ever
notice like whenever
like a democrat gets in the right totally overreacts like it's going to be
socialism it's going to be
like communist russia there's going to be terrorists running down the street
you know
and then whenever anybody in the right gets in it's always like this is like
germany in 1935
every time they say that every time i'm not saying that one of those times it
won't be true
but they say it every time and they completely freak the out and um
i don't know and then when they get in they ram their ideologies down the other
person's throat
they have zero empathy for somebody else they have zero empathy for how uh
people want to raise their
kids and they just both sides they just like we're 100 right and yeah you're
gonna take this
right down the throat and uh i don't know each election i think the pendulum
keeps swinging
farther and farther but even if you're not democrat you have to be proud of the
last eight years i mean
at least there was no cigars and pussies there was no uh they have weapons of
mass destruction
oops we can't find any oh now it's a liberation there was none of that right
who knows who the i don't know what's gonna happen but uh you know i'm no
comfortable with
this result than anybody else but you you wouldn't know that from all these
things
these emails these i'll read you i'll try to get through these next two emails
that i got this is
classic like political shit how people like they just hear what they want to
hear right so this guy
writes me and this guy is basically i think uh blaming me in a roundabout way
for donald trump
getting in because god knows that's the kind of power the monday morning
podcast has you know
a couple hundred thousand downloads i mean that's it dude that's it i can't
believe i don't have
secret service security right outside my door as i do this um literally a
podcast where i talk about
fucking sports 90 of the time i talk about conspiracy theory i say i'm an idiot
i can't read out loud
you know this guy for some reason is choosing to ignore all of this i'm gonna
say because the
person he wanted didn't get in so here we go dear freckles i'm no rocket
scientist all right immediately
going self-deprecating neither are you okay agreed i think it's assume it's
safe to assume the large
majority of your listeners aren't either um unlike you i would never speak for
them i don't know i don't
know who they are okay but you know if you want to assume that to continue on
with your point i'll go
along with it most are like me average middle class person has not done one
fucking ounce of research for
this but this is this is this is how we build points this is how i build a
point most are like me average
middle class folk who laugh like a laugh twice a week from our favorite
comedian see this this is
laying the groundwork i i feel an overhand right coming um you have swayed my
opinion on several
things over the years oh jesus most notably i went from a patriot hater to
someone who supports them
and agrees they are unfairly scrutinized by the league and other teams well isn't
that amazing so
i guess if i could sway you on the amount of air that should be in a football i
could sway you on who
you're gonna pick for the leader of the free world yeah i can that's the same
you know i i i totally see
that point i don't think there's any sort of giant body of water that you're
leaping over there i don't
okay here we go when i realized when i realized how much your opinions
influence me i realized how
much they might influence others okay here's here's the big failure here buddy
okay you didn't agree
with me on the patriots i brought you around you didn't agree with me with my
my political opinion
on hillary clinton you didn't change you know i think that i can bring your
fucking opinion around
about using those savey save cards in your everyday life but when i think it
comes down to
electing the leader of the free world i think you go a little bit beyond the
monday morning podcast
or the thursday afternoon just before friday monday morning podcast where i
scream i'm just checking
in on you like a idiot for half a minute all right so here we here he goes with
this see he's laid see he
came out i'm no rocket scientist self-deprecating okay then he goes uh hey and
then he just goes well
i'm going to assume that this is what your listeners are without doing any sort
of rese
