most gibraltar me, oh
binding mars, you don't worry,
the man I go in the well man until well. You hang in there
I'm fucking lose my mind to be honest with you tell me about it for roasting bad,
It wasn't bad when the arm when it started, and then I was- I was okay. You know we were.
One tour a couple of times, so I was ok in between tours and how amazing this little chunk has gotten to me. You know it's been crazy,
like Paul go up and down in a given day like I just
I'm sick of washing dishes dude. How many guys
Damn dishes we got a ten year old and a twelve year old I try. I tried that
I am involved in the washing, but it's like a kid in the middle class or come down put it in the different cops and then spoons
that's my wife angle, we should just label, everyone gets one item for the day and they gotta get through the day with it. I think
That is only happen. I did then garlic
we I'd. I got us all. One played one for
one spoon, one nice and then
painted our names on them so that you each had a color, but we just until abusing the other persons.
yet it doesn't it united in exactly in theory, it sounds good, but you need to be surrounded by a bunch of law abiding, nobody
It I'm just every time, unlike how do we get so he got
This is another laundry and then anyway, that's the party stuff that
I'm done with him the comedy stuff around which stated human deal, but between zoo
dry van and that stuff is not nearly as much as I'm used to her. When I do it, it's like
I felt good one. I do them we're after I haven't been. Let me turn its volume controls. I haven't been on.
I I toured pretty aggressively at the very beginning of the pandemic.
I did on foot for tours that were pretty, there were pretty pretty looked like legit,
meaning like twenty two days in a row.
Shows every night
and when we did dr and movie debtors, and so
that was fun
then any known and got up, but it was taxing because there was a certain point where you are your tongue on it.
irish tail on whether or not you're are aiming at the virus. Could you driving around the country or hit noble hotspots neglect,
I I didn't realize at the time, but we were probably safer than anyone, because we were
our own bubble like we're on,
For us we were never leaving the door boss, we remember we're never round anybody right, I mean ever and so in height
site, and I wish I had this insight during the talks. I would get panic attacks thinking here. You know,
so silly, but like our lives into some comics trash me because I was cause, I decided to do something different. You ve, you forget where men
fucking got you, you know that you notice
by more acute than anyone is a sec
you put your boy,
Isn't this brain on and you go hold on? I got an idea I want to. I think I can do this. I think I can do that.
Let me see if I can
the system is not working with me right now. I'm gonna shift and see. If I can make my own way and I think there's a respect for that
If it does moderate or if it fails, people go. Oh man, I love those trying, but when you succeed,
You get some real dirt bags ago, dude fuck the axis of evil tour,
we tell you something those fucking guy you know like, and you know that as I do in the
all, of a sudden people, your friends with like shitting on you. Are you not friends with a guy? You see the store the they bump into.
say hi to tweet only know an end
and then and then all suddenly the kind of like shit on you in your like. Oh because I'd try to think out of the box and twenty twond
been crazy regardless, because of all the stuff that happen.
I dunno by you, but I grew up watching the godfather films and yes, frayed. Oh, is this law
Well, what I learned, loyalty- and I learned
like no matter what my friends do in the comedy world, like I gotta, be there for them, and then you know, even if I
a beef with somebody or if I disagree with something I'll do it. Personally, I I don't know these
will they get out there and there like vocal about about bert woody,
doing that. I'm like alright, they don't wanna wait till the next time. I see bert, and I might separate you know I'll be honest with you made me feel uncomfortable when you were doing their shit, yeah, yeah yeah, but
say you're right, it's been a crazy create, but and by the way, good for you for others, and I did
I didn't want travelling.
Shall I went to arizona? Did the tempi improv indoors now be?
with you, I was hesitant going. It was towards the end of last year. At first I was like man, this
is getting worse and worse. Do I go. I know its limited capacity, all the above, but pardon
so was like ok, they ve been doing it. So you look at it. We would be doing it forget about doing it.
and secondly I said I want to be able to say at least I tried it.
Bring this pandemic yeah and in our
and the truth is- I went there and I felt uncomfortable the issue.
Because that is the idea of indoor zones do not ever
What are you guys, like infections, before, like hugging back the fuck up
dude and you sit there and was forty four as well as to these. Have in principle, is comedians our whole.
I ve been taught to be like promote, promote, promote
The wrong filter of time ever I was I
No, I don't want anyone knowing I'm here. I just why. So we can we guarantee I'm gonna do live. Sets about this. I don't you
like you, I won't say names. I won't say names by I to a comic end.
The new york comic exist
little bit younger than us, and I caught him he's caught.
when I was like hey hausa house tampa and who fuckin told you,
why a lizard mould you you're gonna, want anyone to know you, because I think we get,
delay comics, and that's not me in you of course, immune yours doesn't mean you, but there are county Ella comics.
but all the sudden go eyes a little social justice you'd like so you do instead
when the independent pandemic- really
are they were mass? Are they so like day? They also
I came in everyone's gonna run, their own bracelet florida is, I mean
so I see videos of people applauded just going out to dinner and as that
I like licking their licking ship, it's crazy. I don't know what the hell is wrong with people rode. It was all my buddy and I granted my buddy post fairly aggressively about trump on on instagram, like to the point where he texas,
yesterday I was like hey man: did you fall off the wagon like they went the rehab like and he's like? No dude, these fuckin live towards, and I'm like. Okay,
I love you brother hug, I'll text. You talked to him. This is overall. I thought I'd talk to you later, but
I lost. I lost friends because this here's the thing is the perfect storm of of was thinking about this. I thought about this a lot because the fact is for four years, it's like we were bombarded.
With transship for four years, when he wanted her not to neighbour you might wake up today be like today, I'm gonna become a yoga.
you know, guru, I'm just gonna marry
I'm still under the mountain top and just relax, and
Some do with short, would like a mega hat or a tweet, or so we it was for you.
a bombardment and and and I'll tell you it's a crime
You think I, like you, just sit with your friendly before the wagon. I have intelligent, intelligent friends who started
in twenty. Sixteen like not be
transfers realizing from. Is this like a cloud?
who is a
reality shows host always been the butt of a joke. I was thinking about. I do silly knock you with trump jokes about his hair. That was it.
And people in the areas with chuckle ha soon
She started say: races, shit, that people.
he's saying: what's all my more modern, they got soap,
shit about it and I've lost friends, because this combination of trump and then q and on comes in ngos. Oh there's, a deep state and the lip cards in the
socialists and if so, then, all of a sudden people go livery or die
in, and you like to just
lacks you, my buddy, and this. We don't know this guy, like whether its trump or Biden or obama- I don't kill us, make farther guy. This move all with our lives. It's crazy.
I have a weird. I have a weird stance about like because I got a growing up in florida. Almost all my friends are transported
I all of them, but the majority of them are trump supporters and I talked to them. I love them. I have no. I am obviously I mean I don't really talk about my politics, but I mean it's pretty clue. I voted for you and I
when I told them about my at all, and so it was the same way. I used one want a joke about this,
same way about like, I used to try to figure out like anyone who talks,
while any issue aggressively and just wouldn't let it down. I used to get turned off run like if you were a guy was like dude, we're fucking chicks tonight were banging checks for
pussy, maybe like arena, that's enough for me
same flying on the zip flip side of your you're, like, oh, my god, I'm sucking cock, sucking I'd, be like alright, that's not for me, like I'm, just a middle of the road kind of dude and so like like, for example,
I want to talk to you about this. A little bit more. Like I know like anyone breaking them,
like like so when they were looting the stores in
california, during the black lives matters, not black lives were looting.
But whoever was looting during that. I didn't like, though I didn't like that
we very candid I didn't like the protests during the pen.
Damn it personally. I just thought that very irresponsible that was kind of like
as a kind of what the committee has a saint about? Don't go, don't got touring. You like. I got brought as they have on these guys. Don't shit you're sure on every one of them is any. These guys are voting broadcasting, though, and but on that
actually bridge the sort, those guys of storm the fucking capital. I have just as much this taste
for that behaviour, as I do for looting of what locker that that I find that I
I think I'm a more and more astonished by the storms.
apple, like I'm, I'm I'm like, because you ve heard of insurrections you ve heard Of- and I want to talk to you about that, because it because
I'm obsessed right now it revolutions and I'm going to a big phase where, unlike his grey podcast by my duncan, it's all about revolutions and so, and so you,
were an actual heart. I mean you, you know you were lucky in that you'd kind of war in new york during during the
fall of iran but, like
I was wondering like how you felt about watching that and if that hit any
old kind of emotions, absolutely all of the above.
First of all, I agree with you one hundred because listen I got. I have iranian friends who love tromp amidst the craziest thing, doesn't
yeah right and is coloured ass, a matter in this matter and in what I say is a little late.
Different way than the way you put about what I say as I go look lesson
not lose ourselves in the cold
If the personality of anybody, like I personally big fan of obama, but if you come to me and go hey under Barack obama, there was more drone attacks than any president before and innocent people died in Pakistan. I'd be like oh shit
That's a bad thing right! If you country, like a lot of my my my concern,
friends. Now friends, I decided upon this crazy. What's up chat throughout the whole, the whole pandemic in the black lives matter into the elections, and these guys,
were so all of a sudden more like right than I thought on the right side and am
very like on the left side, but one of the thing,
that was crazy, was just the feeling like like we
last you like when I want to talk about trump, I'm not making fun of your grandmother the whole point of america as we should be able to make fun of our leaders and as
big thing to keep in mind now when, when this whole black eyes matter thing happen, I actually went out to the protests and protests. It
I was there day one with my kids and my wife cause. I was like our kids need to learn that. Let me let me backtrack for a second trump goes into into office. Early two thousand and seventeen puts in that
the muslim ban, one of the country's number one number one number one, one of the
Those are the airport. The data was no travel ban, but I was there at the airport, the data
stop letting muslims over the country was at it and it was. I walked. I came out of american airlines drunk and they were right like protest,
down arrivals and on my desktop I was
I was one of the I protested that week at arrow. If it was the same day, you were there, but I went down to protest simply because, as an iranian american, I was like look this. This thing is being sold to the american people as keeping america safer. However, none of the countries.
That are on this ban have ever committed an act of terror in america and, furthermore, the people that are coming from these countries are
vetted and a lot of them are like. For example, IRAN has a very oppressive government and I'll get to the revolution in a sector
but when that revolution happen, this islamic republic came in the very
oppressive. Tonight you got a lot of young people in IRAN who go to you.
Firstly, there they kick ass and for the long
time they were coming to america to study and a lot of,
stay here and let go what work in silicon valley or whatever, but at least you guys had hoped that I get out of this hell,
and go there. Was the muslim men happens? These guys can't come muslim.
The muslim ban happens, relatives of people that are here can't column harder for them to come,
a lot of people? I heard a lot of stories of things it to me was injustice, so I went down. I protested.
It was interesting because, like that, neither the next night
the radio. I thought america's it was protests all over the country and airports. I was like. Ok,
Hurricanes at least understand that this muslim ban is hypocritical and it's really just it's. It's all smoke a mere
is it said our cetera. However, the radio goes a majority of american support. The muslim ban,
and that's when I had a lightbulb moment, I go wait a minute. I thought americans understood the plight.
I'm seeing right now of people. From my background- and I realized
I go the same way when, like black lives matter, protests were happening under obama was thought up. Black people got their protests that take care of it,
And that's when I realized the next time, there's a group, this being a press for whatever reason, if I can go protest, I'm gonna go pro
so that was set at my. My sincerest black eyes met rapid, went our family, everybody were protests in its peaceful, really block.
Interesting and your children are multicultural, india, the end
iranian right, yeah.
So my wife's indian, my I'm iranian, but we both my wife than in america. She was six months old, I'm here since I was six years old, but I felt it was important
then the cedars and I'll tell you this guy I described. I interrupt promotes because I've said this before and I am trying to question or not. If one
saying is accurate, but like it's funny, it's funny when I, when I hear you talk about going down a protest for the.
Sometimes I forget. You know people say I don't see color. Sometimes I I
I, as I definitely see color. I know that you're not supposed to say I don't see color but, like I don't think of
Think, and I know you came here when you were like a bird-
think of you more american than I do iranian a guy just any abuse.
marion guy like I can understand your iranian and any you're you're culture therein, you're, probably more comfortable with with with,
a kind of food or whatever, like that culture, but like I just see, was
as I understand you agent, but like I'm, not blind by doll.
I think I see you more as an american did they do it iranian
absolutely listen. I obviously I hold onto the culture whether as the food or some of the traditional
I like the party north ST patty's day, I'm irish, but absolutely no. Actually, the truth is like. If you ask me like yeah, of course like when I first came to america, I was a Dallas cowboys fan oakland a's felt like I could tell you about baseball, listen
sick, wise, illicit america, music,
You know comedy wise american carpentering. Al gore like there's that all evil. So absolutely,
right about that. But what would happen with this thing was is, and we live in a multicultural society, and the fact is that there are people who to breaking point
and again I'll go back to it like, for example, the woman's marches stuff they were here.
winning the the near the woman's mars had happened in protest trump.
There was another one I was like you know in your mind, you go okay, women got it, they got it, they got it, but then you know they all got it and it's not until the
So when pointed out like with with apartheid, it wasn't until the people in power started,
put a hand down and go alright we're going to help get rid of apartheid. Till apartheid went away. Similarly, it's gonna take off
us when we see injustice, you gotta step up and show up, and I felt
like when I saw the thing with with with george floyd and an unjust and- and I started a human.
stories oversized are listening because we're
The prize was taber going back to that. What's
chat that I was on with my friends who, against some of the hard core of iranian, but could like conservative there. Well
If few of them were like yeah. Well, you know the black people got to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. I got you kidding me ago. You came here you literally living in brentwood in a game.
Community and I got do you have black friends have even talked to anybody was black because I know
for example, there is what the committee s name was younger guy heap
said about like he's like one,
seeing this it's it's I'm having like flashed back to things that happen to me.
And he told the story of one time he had a meeting with with
can in every way as and he was excited, is going to pitch some show and it was on the way there. I get pulled over by the cops and the next thing I know my head is on the ground in the oil, etc, etc. That's unexpressed, I've ever had
but we need to open our eyes to the experiences that people from other backgrounds and cultures might ahead
it's funny, because when I said that my one friend was a brain, what is it? You know what there is a black eye at play? Tennis with
but he says once in a while. It comes to brentwood he gets pulled over. I go. That's very motherfucker when you expect you to go so anyway, I just real quickly. What I was saying was: I went down to the protests and going back to the guys who looted so it's funny, because I was there with the kids and it was all positive and it was right here down on fairfax and third and it's interesting because at a certain point we got. We got hungry, I'm like telling my wife, we go. Let's go get some food, so we went to get food and
when her false are blowing up. You will like www, that's ok, I'm like what's happening. There's riots happening in the fire, so I am one hundred percent with you.
when for small the looters people will lose,
and go into the stores and takes it they're. Just people taking advantage of a situation right, do not dare not there for the for the message there. Therefore, there either just kids out of me
it'd be I don't mean to be dismissive of it. But I was a kid also, and I made a lot of mistakes that I would never want to come up in delight these days and and I think they're, just kids or or poor people I mean listen. My house is broken into two days ago. I don't blame,
I feel actually bad for those two people who the million dollar idea was to break into my house like I was the air mill. Therefore,
can get out of there there like shit.
well. You know what, though bert cries. You ve got a ton of pictures of himself
so I feel bad. I you know another is probably I appreciate you for that.
The grandfather used to say that all the time used to say I never judge anybody was the guy who steals his stealing cause he's hungry. That's his that's his solution, like you said so
these guys who looted absolutely wrong an end, but at the same time, like you said,
you and I aren't going to be like you know what I I do need a t v. So let me go down and loot, I'm very late, so I I that I can get Diane. You can sit in a room with a piece of paper and a pen and go. I want a tv and then figure out how to get a tv, and I feel bad for,
exactly so those as those guys were wrong, and anybody who did anything violent was wrong. All that stuff. I totally convinced. However, I will go back as cars again when, when the cap, the the rush of capitol hill happened at the capitol
That was again one of my friends who consider friends was like this is wrong, and if we do this, then we are just like antifa and I was like no. No, no, no. No go stop. Go. Stop these.
Dude are literally trying to overthrow a government, and if you don't believe me, you need to go to that.
chat rooms. You know I had on my podcast this scanning frank lucia. I don't know if you know frankly lucy but he's always on MSNBC, and he was just on bill. Maher he's great. You should have money.
It is a he was assistant director, the counter tariff counter terrorism at the
F b I and when I had him on in the fall before this this this whole attack happened one of the things he pointed out. He said: look, he goes, I'm a retired, f b. I guy
it goes because I'm retired and anyone else who's in my community, because we don't have to play by the same rules that current f b I has to play by so like current fb, I was to spy on somebody they're going to get the right. You know
You know the approval in this and that get into chat rooms. He knows we can go into this
sharon to see what's going on and goes I tell you mars what's going on is there is a group of people who are on the far right who think this is their day and there come in?
and they went over to the government and their weapon eyes, etc, etc, etc. So
when we say you know comparing the looters of of of of the open the nike store, with the guys,
the capital, because it nike store, I just doing stupid shit and they should be caught and arrested and pay whatever they gonna pay. For
doing, that these mother fuckers were trying to overthrow government
actually neurology, trying to overthrow the government.
They were, they were legit if they had got bird. If you tell me if they had done their hands on nancy policy, we know they will be able to shoulder their
I killed her and I don't think they would have meant to kill, or maybe they would have meant killer. But I think what would have happened is the same shit with watching that guy get crushed it's mob mentality and you you gotta understand. You know what I think. A lot of people who do maybe won't own up to is their ability to participate in mob mentality. While I used to have a bit that I was working on that we're all carrots, I don't ever think you're, not a karen black white mexican, we're all fucking gerunds.
anton one. Injustice happens to us as small as it may be. Ah, I call the cops on removing truck. I don't even know how are the deeds were, but I had ice cream I raised
my truck in his movie drug was walking me. My room is melting and theirs.
For whatever reason that called urgency. Hilarious
that gives you the bug, a move, because some real slow suck, my dick
There is a sincere power.
our in not giving a fuck when you don't give a fuck. That is when you, when you were
You go head to head with someone that really doesn't give a fuck. You have never felt more
was in your life ass. I am and move the falcon
Iraq now and he's like why? Don't you get out and suck my dick and now they're laughing at me? I go ah call the cops, and then I call the fucking cops on
I called about the way this was ten years ago, I was like I'll call. The gop this before MAS is such a true story. This is before yours
cell phone. Would let you dial nine one one had yourself
Let you down on one one when this happened, I would curse up on the various, but I've got that ability.
Yes when they got gonna hold of nancy policy? I am certain that the first guided got her
wouldn't amateur heard or just scare a little bit but the second,
I would have been like gravel
only two out of an as it was. It looks like
hurry up, and I would have thought they would have ended up killing her. Just that's the way that works,

My point, my point is these guys were
actually, in my opinion, much worse?
the rebar guys, because these guys listen. I don't think
bad people. Like you just said. I think that a lot of people, mostly we
sit down with them- face to face the good people if there
of the mind, but I think a combination of all the conspiracy theories.
All this has been added up. They really
but they were saving the country by the way they kept calling themselves patriots, patriots even advocate truck, put a tweet it. We need the patriots,
You start keyser patriot at some point. You think you're, the superhero does ice
guy who's again.
Being designer, and he he's been commenting on this. He goes q and honest set up like a game in that in the game. You're the
good guy, you gonna, save everybody and here's all the bad guys.
And he goes q and all the same? They tell you. The bad guys are the pedophiles and the deep state and
He left wing and editor and did donald trump is
the saviour and you're gonna help him save him by. So these
guys were there with bad intentions and so going back to the issue.
mc republic of IRAN that the revolution that happens- seventy nine- I was a kid I was
six years old, late, seventy eight, and why
had led up to that revolution was at the time the king of the country, the shop he had yellow taiwanese lots. Let's let us take our time with this- is that this is.
Oh, that I'm so fascinated by monarchies, I'm so fast by by emperors and and all of that
right now, so the shaw this is another positive, and I am also stupid is thought.
so he saw the uranium with a person word for king
Yes, so let me, let me take you back so say: leave for all I'm fuckin by the way I just got here,
I'm I'm so fucking fascinated by this will listen did first of all one of them
again as somebody who and an end. This is again what
those my mind with some of my fellow europeans or other people who come from countries that were led by a totalitarian, a monarch
and they were seeing that with tromp, because in all honesty, the one thing trump
Very very well- was he
everyone's reality and turned it to the point where only he was right
and I say I Don'T- who you are- there's gotta-
a time in your life when you're wrong right, you might be right,
six days of the week with the seventh day? Maybe
made the wrong decision on something, so it right,
the humanizes you have you come on, go you know, oh by the way guys. I was wrong about that thing. This is what's right,
well with him was always like. You know what you know. What also is interesting about trump, I mean to interrupt you. I'm sorry go ahead was also is interesting, really really fascinating about the guy, as he was preaching to a group of people that all took what he said as gospel and and and people felt
I now I gotta admit this,
but then there is also these. These centrist, like myself, who made in both for him but would hear some of the city, said and laugh hysterically. Yeah,
Is it as if it wasn't real? Let's just go like and then text your body like did he called ted cruises, dad the zodiac killer like everything you like
and then you just city, I'm? U. I when I heard that I laughed hysterically and I said
Are you for consumers like that? But there is
there is a need for whatever
is that kind of shoot from the hip style was so refreshing and paul
takes an end. When you hear Joe Biden just come back and everything go back,
in order I guarantee
there are some people in the middle going like I look and what I didn't vote for him again so either. For this this time I didn't vote for the first time
well for him in both form, but I missed
razzle dazzle a little bit. No, but listen! I totally hear you but here's the problem, because it is. I totally agree with you and I talked about this in my stand up
He says all this shit where you think it's funny, but there's enough naughty people out there fully equipped, who believe in and take it and go one step further. So, even before all this shit,
happen in my in my special, my netflix special pussy, I mentioned it. I don't know
anybody ever did a study to find this correlation. How
we're in two thousand and sixteen when he was running and part of his running was you know, I'm going to do a muslim ban and then he was
I am going to change the iran deal. The iran deal horrible, so IRAN was in the news. Muslims are in the news, some dude in Kansas. I think it was in kansas, Kentucky some like white. You know sixty year old white dude, he went to like some bar
He ceases to indian due from India who these engineers are just sitting there mining their own business.
and for whatever reason, this guy confront them and in the
the heated argument he has with them. He goes back into his car- comes back shoots them both gets back in his.
Our goes to another bar goes and tells the bartender. I just killed a couple of iran
he thought they were iranian there
the indians, one,
died, one on the survived. How ever I guarantee you burn this dude in Kansas kentucky?
fuck, you was had no idea what an iranian was or why should be worried about them until he's
all the likes of donald trump or other politicians say: that's our enemy, that's our enemy, that's our enemy! So that's where we go back to what you just said, which
I agree with you as a comedian. I saw the funny right calling Elizabeth Warren pocahontas. Ok, that's that's important
stupid shit, you would say you know
you know, Itta itta was
all the like up
an argument of some sort you're having with you know you want to be funny with a roast battle or something right yeah, but
when he says it and you and I laugh. There are others who were watching him and goes she's,
The enemy so put her on the list put her on the outer their fuckin miles at heart. Breaking you realize how stupid some people are beginning to see that guy that went in to cosmic pizza, india S, then I repeat again, and this is where it supercomputer
using Is- and I understand that I am not a well thought out guy- so just realized that all my everything I'm saying is kind of- like I dunno whatever. So if people lose their fucking mind over this, I don't care my heart broke for that guy, a little bit and yes horrible stuff, but he's so stupid that he actually he actually was
air to save children will see bird here's the thing. I totally agree with you, because my heart breaks for these people as well and for the people who don't know that was off from pizza gate pizza gave came about because this whole q and on thing it's kind of part of the others.
you see, but when the when, when they got access to John predestined email, job fidessa was Hillary Clinton campaign manager when they got access to his emails,
There was all these orders going through this cosmic pizza place of ordering pete's us and who was it was
translating it sat there and said or what
really going on- and this is where the conspiracy comes in. These guys are all pedophiles, because a democratic pedophiles and pizzas represent
the kid so in their ordering, like four cheeses and five whatever's there actually ordering for our latino, kids and white kid whatever the hell was in this,
guy in north carolina believed that gun his car.
brought his guns, whether the pizza place and when we re really believed that you really like an eminent in your heart breaks. It, though, that this guy was led. If somebody just put em on the right
Have you been doing something good for the world. In said he
really goes in terrifies about people
probably I'm sure her of the early one or whatever. But like you go oh heat like I'm, I'm
a little bit of an outsider when it comes to politics and like what's going on. I really don't even know much about you and on and and all these things but like when you see a story,
that you go I'm about him. He asked you actually
we then actually believes it, but that's a beat them see. The bigger problem comes when you realise, there's more people like that, then we,
So when those people goes storm the capitalists and you can be a trump supporter,
from a million reasons. Both somebody would be like hey burke, get on a plane, we're gonna go change. The vote.
Maybe I don't know about that. You know how I think,
I got some shit. The do you know, like you know,
it's my turn to wash the dishes, I'm not going, but when you show up there I mean there's more
So so I agree with you that I feel sorry for these people, but I am also worried by these people.
Because I believe that unless we are able to get these people out of the rabbit whole rogan have more and more people believe like
That's the thing trumpeted. He made reality his own, so he said. Listen! If, if any news, or
innovation, including fox, says anything, but
about me thickness. They made it up and is it not
if other we- you said it is you just said what we have
clips of you saying the pandemic is just like. Isn't is a fake hoax made up by the Democrats,
and then we have an audio of you talking to bob woodward telling him how serious you know it is so. How
Can you say that you never said that so
all of that to say when I
somebody like that? It actually made me remember the cult of personality that happened under ayatollah Khomeini
Who is the one who took over for the shot? I let me take you back there. I think back to
happens. Iran is this country
that has had a lot of turmoil all through the nineteen hundreds and one of the biggest thing
I say this is the oil alright,
I always say if your country with oil, it's like being a drug dealer, the cops are common for you, meaning a
erika or in the west, is coming to get. You you'd better, be rated fuck that shit down the toilet, because what
what was early? Nineteen hundred the bridge,
scottie, IRAN, that, like all they got oil
cover oil any rather than the bridge show up and british petroleum BP that you,
you know- we all know they basically take control.
A majority of iran's oil. So imagine another country, the the brits.
Have come now. The way they gonna colonise brought a lot of places. They come to IRAN and the like. Will you take one year most, you know profitable resources and be
if he is going to own that you'll get a percentage but we're going to own a lot of it just like what but BP or when, when england,
was like him and we're gonna build the suez canal and and will run that an egypt, like
hold on hold on over the Egypt Zante remedy. I guess you don't like me.
That's our land and, like you I know, but
it's gonna, be better browser, wages run it because we're going to be there and then that was the whole beginning of
it's a going fuck you guys,
actually. This is like it's like like angle,
and is like shook night. Just gonna take a shit
other guys like wait a minute, I restart my own company. I don't need your shit. I
So IRAN was ass. Iran had the BP was taken Iraq's oil and then so in the early fifties. So iran at the time had a king, okay and the king is called the shop now, a little backs
we as well that the shock of iran before world war to the sharp iran was he was friendly with the west. This is this: the father of the guy, who leaves at the revolution so really
like in the early from the early twentieth, early forties. This guy is the
King of IRAN, and here
helping modernize it and
and one of the things that happen
this iranian? The word iran comes from the word area in we come from the carcass mountains
We are actually like the original white people so so
sharp iran as world war. Two is coming up:
he considers of area and he's like what,
hitler Simon about areas in his eye. You start discussing good ideas, so exactly ass, what'd script, there's theirs.
In the anders. There is an understatement of how many people agreed with hitler back in the day there was a lot of prince philip prince Roosevelt was like I mean
It was good.
I know he was alright. You know the parties. What can I tell you? German beer is delicious, it's fantastic, so this guy he's the
the king of iran, and he sympathise
a bit with the nazis and mussolini all that does when the west comes to him in Gaza.
And the breadth and over they go. U k it. We can have the shit so they go. You know
we do this know whether we are going to send you into exile
let your son become king and
way. You're crown will keep the throne
but we know you've already said some shit. We gotta get ready, so this guy he gets exiled and he goes and his stories like kind of tragic to like supposedly left in an upper south africa and then have money and the sun was ascending or as a whole.
Story, but his son becomes the shock of iran and he
is this is now early like lake forties, early fifties and this guy
like twenty one years old, he is western educate. He was educated in switzerland
and they're doing all this regal stuff, but he's got the gown and the crown and he's like it. I am now that the
king of iran right. So this do there. You know he's not really qualified to be running a country, but he
is the person that the west, why twenty to row worried
retorted. Do I wasn't even
a comedy I was even
comedy of I was doing. I haven't even graduated my purse junior year. Yet you are you still in college. I was twenty. Two I was an assistant
at an advertising agency, I was working at a stationary store was a run in a country, so this dude, this dude, is there now what's goin on just like. In england, for example, you ve got the monarchy, and then you ve got the parliament.
right, and now I don't know when this all happened, but for the most part the parliament holds
the power of the monarchy is just you know she, you know she blesses people and shit like dresses in yellow by the way the queen of england is the only person I say can dress in a full, yellow outfit and not be a pimp. I'm saying that you don't see that I'm telling you bro is there anyway
The iranian parliament at the time, has this guy in power, he's he's been democratically elected. His name is most said: deb mohammed Mossad, death and he's this intellectual, older guy. This is
the fifties now he's, since he is this. Guy
Who is smart and he is part of parliament and he's actually are.
He's actually experience is leader he now
really caught up, pushes power on this young shall write. So when he comes
in the parliament he says to the country we are going to take back.
Oil and nationalize it. So what does that do? What that does? Is he basically says to england fuck you
get the fuck out we're nationalizing our oil adios. No more! No more! This free shit! You know you can still get a percentage, but mostly is gonna, be arts yeah. So england, all of a sudden, is like what the fuck so
at the time. This is almost certainly correct. You're going to agree with this, almost one hundred percent. This is how they used to do comedy. Specials was that managers were england and the like here's the deal. We've got a three yeah and again we're going to give you ten grand. Alright, then we're going to. I saw
I'm coming central door worry about anything you can sell your shows and we were like our ongoing
so you're great idea. So I ready and no one knows
looks like how about we give you the money to make a special, warlike, whoa whoa whoa, who is getting them
before a manager dad,
I don't know what you're talking about. What are you talking about and then and then you now you all yours puzzled me like so I didn't sell at every opportunity shut up. That is a great
analogy and the sharp being young is the social media influence her who's trying to do
stan of special. You like how the hell is this, do he's only,
sixteen. He doesn't even have any jobs, Julia especial! That's him.
This analogy. I, though, so much
sat there. Mom was a death. He nationalized the oil now at the time as early fifty. So, as you know, in early fiftys, the biggest threat to america
the soviet union and communism. That's why
we went toward vietnam. That's why we're korea
Every time you said, communism, we're like we gotta, go and stop that country becoming communist, so
land being smart, goes to comes to the. U S,
EL, the americans they go. Listen IRAN is strategically located,
to the north of iran is the soviet union, and if we don't put our influence in there, this guy must
sad death who just nationalized the oil she's.
socialist and he's gonna take the country towards social,
wisdom and communism and it's gonna go communists and the russians are going to get it wrong and that's when america goes. Oh hell, no
so under the eyes in our administration, they organise a coup data so going back to this coup that almost happen here, think
capital. America organizes with the cia, there was a guy named kermit, Roosevelt there's a book written by. You can look up kermit, roosevelt and money
got so much during this very well.
these are the jokes. I've written oh
the middle east is like is like hot checks right now, they're grey.
with big tits and oil and what not, but when they get older and they're all dried up, no one's gonna fuck. I want them Larry areas. Another man, you stationary store
and that's when the windmills become hot go on security starts to go ahead. When the windmills become a ha,
denmark always of denmark,
I work, this asian areas store us almost said, aren't all store. Stationary stores related stephen right.
Stoke yeah right. I don't yeah, but keep going. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm fucking, so distracting on my own vodka. I love you man, it's fantastic, so so here's one thing. I've learned- and I think I'm like this when I dunno, if you're like this at all, but having done stand up for so long. I am good at like
going going going then totally diverging from the story for like ten minutes really going back. You know, I think, that's a stand, a brain.
yeah, and I think I do that with my like. My family, like they'll, get Doug enough sectors because they'll think they got away from the story. So, like we'll start, is doing that
are and then we'll get to totally distracted at my wife, probably thinking I thank god, I have to bushes story, would get home.
At a dinner. I'd be like so anyway, where I was sitting in the car. Was that, like his mother fuckers, not forgetting his shit, so
come on I'll, bring her back no prob interrupt anytime. You want so that the name kermit, eisenhower, kermit,
We are a resident. Roosevelt, roosevelt, roosevelt, alright, keep going yeah kermit, roosevelt kermit, roosevelt was the
he was, I think, is a grand saunter somehow is related to the roosevelt. Anyway things grandpa, he was,
over the cia. He wrote a book about. It tells you
a to z on how they did it matter of fact,
cia years, a
here. I think under the Clinton administration deserves it all classified, but then under Clinton she actually came out apologize to IRAN for having done the coup
and is one of the only times can ever be with this conspiracy theories. Think that their
as well oiled machine somewhere running everything.
And I will you know how much should as the happen exam,
Finally- and I will get It- can keep your mouth shut for all this shit
talking about the happen? It doesn't happen and often
the plane full of people on nine eleven? They got burned down a cuba mats all that shit, so
The cia has has said that the one time when it happened as it was by the way they they planned. It was the iranian coup data with more sad that. So what happened?
Is the cia get some operatives to go into the streets to protest most that death now
before this happens, the shaw who again
was a symbolic leader. He saw the heat that was coming on to him because most added,
It is now nationalized oil lot of iraq
is like this is great. We're gonna get back our oil, so this guy's twenty one
years old. So what
because you know what I mean
what a vacation a row so they just takes off, but it keeps his but wikis.
If cigarettes and is like I'll be back the other back. So he takes off
and most out there now is there and that's when they go. We got through this coup, so they go to the street and basically they get. These protests is gonna streets and go if this guy becomes. You know the ruler,
IRAN's gonna go communist, so others protests yadda, yadda yadda. They go down to his palace, they get em out, they drag them out and they
take them and they sent him in exile
and now the door is open again for the shot, a comeback,
so the shore lands and is like having,
great time in Rome. I happened to stop.
It wasn't even like he didn't like admit like oh, I ran away like no, I just I'm back so he's back and he's in his early twenties and he is willing to play ball with the west. Now have you ever read the book called by J n john perkins is called confessions of an economic hitman. Have you ever heard it nope that up it's a great book? This guy wrote this book
any basically goes into all of these government overthrows that america was involved with
the time you're saying this, I'm going. You know it's not too far off for a country like russia to set up this this insurgency. That happened at the capital for us where they start flooding
these days. You start running these chatrooms go unlike a meter, but what is your bodily
It's a borderless europe. It was an accident but you're right, you're out.
work is ass, a thing you don't know whose behind some of the shop there and so on this guy,
opera is. Does this book an ad in the book? He says the way america has worked with other countries. He goes first, they will send in big corporations and a big corporation
go to some of these countries, whether it's like she lay or
guatemala or IRAN or whatever and they'll, be like hey work.
tell were halliburton were whoever you know it,
you guys need you guys need an electrical grid, so we will build that grid.
you and we will run it for you
and you just gotta appears x Y Z and then we'll rotate our money back in to you and give it your king or whatever. It is an ultimately it's a foot in
so. The another depended on america and then eventually you go well now that you now that you ve got all this wealth, king of ex country. You should probably get some american troops to protect you right. Let's get some american troops,
on and on and on, and he goes if countries play ball with it with the with the companies deal done, because if they don't play ball with us,
companies, then they sent in the cia to overthrow that leader, who is not playing ball, and if that doesn't work, then we attack. So that's the three pronged approach of america are right. This is our past.
now IRAN is there. The shah of IRAN is playing ball now. He says you guys can have you know the oil
a better deal for the oil, so the west can have the oil he starts. Getting a lot of money cause a cut countries getting rich, so he starts buying weapons and start,
building his military of IRAN becomes more the strongest military.
in the middle east is an ally of the west. By the way, a fact
probably a lot of people. Don't know you know right now. The current government is a muslim government and they're anti semitic, they're anti bahai, which is they're the biggest group that they persecute in iran, but the but IRAN back then, and now
Has the second highest jewish population in the Middle east after Israel, because
the jews aren't really living in any of the arab countries, but in IRAN there were there, so IRAN is in the middle of it. You know that time between, like the fifties until the seventies, the show
they're playing ball, but also modernizing iran. If you see pictures of iran from like the sixtys and seventys
those women in many skirts they had discos. You know me as a kid. The things I remember is america. Exports
culture. So as a kid, the first things I remember was was seeing the movie rocky. I was a big fan of Zorro. I had batman and an spiderman comic books
I loved mohammed ali. I mean these are all things as a kid I remember and so
Iran is relatively westernized or is getting there now. The problem
so the show that some good things a sharp modernize the country the country was wealthy. I'm the one thing that she was shot was being criticized for was because he was a king and a dictator. He had a lot of enemies from different groups, so whether it was like from that you know
rural intellectuals or from the communist or from the religious model, as they call em. There's all these groups that are against the shop, and if you criticise the shaw back, then she had a secret police called slovak and you could disappear.
here, so you get this all set up. We ve got this guy who's almost like a benevolent dictator too many, but there are also enemies of his yeah,
There's the seventies go on these people that are criticising him, get more more critical and what happens is there's a perfect storm of these people that are criticising him and now going back to that iran
community, we have big conspiracy theories. So a lot of iranian think that somehow Jimmy carter
was involved with, I told main coming back, I dont know if that's if there is any evidence of that, but I told the humming
he was a religious leader. So imagine he was like the pope, for
the the muslims of iran and another.
to remember differentiate. Is the muslims of iran are shi Ite, whereas a lot of arab muslims are sunni, just like catholic and protestant right,
yeah smoke. The fact is they don't get along either like they. They hate each other, like they'll fight the way like saudi arabian iran, fight, they'll fight, what ayatollah khomeini at the
is the leader of the shi ite muslims and what's happened with him.
Like in the original exact date, but, let's say late, sixties early seventies. He, I think the shore I think
they killed the Khomeini's son. For some reason, I think they were like criticising the sharp something in using the jailer killed, so hominy get sent into exile. The kick homer,
anyhow and at the time, by the way. Look this is was a dictatorship, so they could have killed khomeini and been like just execute the dude, but I think that he had so much power that they said.
if we execute him, his followers are going to get angry is going to retail revolution. So, let's just you know, send him into exile and what he would do back then
before social media. He would do these like political sermons and they would put it on tape.
and they would sneaking into iran and they would disseminate the tapes among
all of his followers, so all these people that he was from the outside, he was in Iraq. At the time
was criticise the shop from Iraq and his followers were hearing this and they're getting angrier, angrier and more in line, and eventually what happens is late seventies. Some protest start happening in the streets of IRAN and I believe, the inciting factor. Why
there was a theatre. A movie theater in a city is called on to you and which is
The religious city of IRAN saw a light,
very religious city. So it's like saying, like the vatican or something
trying to find analogies are always trying to think I was trying to like, like knoxville, that's exactly like think somewhere like in the south right, so it's bible belt, but it's so
there's a movie theater there has called
cinema rex and there's like three people in the movie theater some
they set on fire locked doors. People die now going back. The religious people blame the shores, people
a lot of people from the shore side say it
the set up to kill those guys to incite the protests.
we must set up your school anti pamphlet, flipper our teeth, a flip so
who did it but the faded, its users so similar to what's going on here? I'm telling you time so. The fact is
now in the Shi Ite religion. Again, I'm not a religious saw just pick up pieces and bits of what happens is forty. Two,
is after somebody dies, they go and morn that death, it's like up near the ceremony and they go in the streets and they march. Well, you have
cause people that died. Neither now people are marching, you know to mourn the people, but that march chosen to protest and the protest are getting a heated and heated and heated, and now the military is called in to two to quash
This protest and some soldiers should enter the protesters killing some protestors.
Forty days later, there's protest to more the death of the protesters to escalate. To the point,
where what happened was suddenly all of the shots
means whether it was you know again
liberal intellectuals or the, but that the religious types, wherever they are start going into the streets in protest, grow and grow and grow to the point where it was.
When so IRAN, the bazaar in IRAN. The bizarre is like the market place where people go and you can buy anything and so that they called the bizarre ease the people own shops in the bazaars and their big part of the accounts
me so when they decide to come on board and joined the protests by closing their shops going into the street protests.
and then all of a sudden next to them are. Doctors and lawyers have shut their offices to protest
That's when the shore, I think
saw the writing on the wall and was like oh shit. This is this time is real, so he ends up leaving the country
in early, seventy nine. He flies out the work or somethin.
I was in the organism, so my family life, so this is now taking you to my personal story
late. Seventy eight, my father's on business. What you do is you your like boys with a sharp my dad?
was a business man. She had came from canada, tough background anyway
his way up in an electric company and what have
He told me what time it goes like end up whenever mid fifties. He goes. The government
cited they gonna nationalized electricity, so government owns like
p journey and the web.
Enron or not, and right of saint all these governments, the governess it, but he said they called a few.
but he said we're going to subcontract to you. My dad was one of those companies. So all of a sudden, my dad starts getting these amazing deals of businesses and so he's like their building. You know the lights and
electricity from here the mammoth or wherever was
You got a man like that's a lot of money that you come in and my dad the best fictional character that I could compare my dad too. He was like veto corleone from the godfather
like my dad, was so he helped everybody. He was very powerful. He knew people like you, know, mayors and and police captains, and all that stuff
but I didn't used to tell me stories about, like you know, helping people,
but I didn't believe him until we passed away and I would just run into
one they'd be like. Are you host your job? Ronnie's son? I was like yeah they're, like your dad was a reason I was able to escape iran, I'm like what he goes yeah. You know
I didn't have an ap. I didn't have a a house and your father was in I owned. A bunch of property.
Tommy live in there and pain you whenever you can use that kind of guy, like tip in people.
Always very generous. So anyway, he is in,
york on business before the shies left before the revolution he's in europe, a business, and I will tell people
because the shaw had faced so
which turmoil in his twenty some odd years in power and had been able to watch those protests in the past. I
everybody saw these late seven. These protests as up he's gonna stop. This is well, you oughta, be overseen, so my dad told my mom. He goes listen! It's winner break for the kids. Why don't you be?
in me and my older sister bring them to new york for two weeks. While
IRAN, winner break, and you know the protests will die down. You guys can go back and
the point where we can add my baby brother. We left my baby brother in iran because, without wishing to be back in two weeks,
something like a wee wee pack for two weeks and we stay for forty years. You know
that's a common story for a lot of people that left iran at that time. We thought we're gonna go back, but we didn't go back as
when we come here a few months later, the shock comes, and and surely-
after that, Ayatollah Khomeini flies.
And on an air france from France. Has he got from Iraq to france and that's again where the conspiracy theories go well,
the western were Khomeini's, go and ruin the country. They could have kept him in france and thought him in prison, but I think you're, the west.
china was like. I was this guy they're calling for him and they
maybe he would actually go- is one of the things that this is. This is going back
After what I saw with trop one of the things that leaders like this charismatic leaders do they make everybody feel like they're gonna fix everything
so Khomeini's thing was look. The shaw has made himself and his friends rich I'm going to come in we're all
get, you know we're all gonna share in the wealth. Things are gonna, be fine like at the time of khomeini doctors and
it was a brain drain. People were leaving the country, and he,
say he's like we don't need those doctors will trained doctors in two months and be up and running while the truth is once he comes at an inn. Takes power
He is surrounded by a bunch of people and himself included, and they just start executing people that were part of the previous regime, like straight up like fiery squad question, so it gets dark, ass and quit
Clearly they tell women cover yourselves up. This is now one islamic republic, so whereas women were wearing many skirts now they have to cover themselves up now you ve got the religious people
now, you ve got that again goes back to a lot of that. I worry when I look at trump:
you were saying, like part of us
laugh at him. Part of a part of his followers are just cuckoo
think that, like you know, they got to save the world with him, but there's a big part. Also there are these crazy, religious types who think that this is all part of the big game
plan to make america you know arm armageddon come in trumps. Gonna, stop
abortions are we're to get guns and Jesus gonna. Come so that's the kind of thinking this
what is happening in IRAN to the point where, like this religion,
police would be gone around the streets and, if, like a dude as well
with a girl. They just walk up to him, be like. What's your relationship, he blows, my sister show me ideas and, if god forbid, there's not your sister did like taken have predicted
hail and whip you and shit. So crazy should happen and
It led even it got darken darkest under Khomeini his mind when he took
over IRAN. He thought okay, this is god
telling me we're we're onto the right thing and there's gonna be an islamic wave, arise,
the world and quickly then-
neighbouring country, Iraq, with saddam hussein
been arrival of iran. There's a region between the two countries where there was a
a bit of a debate on whose oral was their saddam see
is the turmoil in iran and he goes now. Is the time for me to go in and get my oil, so he started doing that. That's when Khomeini goes
ready to fight and that leads to the iran. Iraq war was last for about seven to eight years.
Over. A million europeans die out how many iraqis die, but it was so crazy.
Our is how brainwashed people were because again,
in the iranian religion
If she is there is, they believe in martyrs. So when somebody dies for a cause, they put their picture up
on the streets like when you drive around the streets of iran, there's pictures of young people that have died in war and they're martyrs and so what they would do under the war with Iraq. A friend of mine who had gone to was was part of the middle.
Turkish military mandatory service there. He said early on in the war with Iraq, the iraq
would line minefields up.
and that europeans would lineup sheep to go
The minefield to expire
the mines and then they could attack. Well, as you can imagine,
as soon as a bomb exploded. The sheep would disperse. So it was. The stupidest
strategy ever so. What did they do? They went and got these like young, like twelve thirteen year old kids, like the boy scouts me
exactly, and they said, are you really patriotic to IRAN? If you really believe in this god, you have been chosen to be a martyr, we're going to put this
He is the key to heaven around your neck.
line you up and you gotta
research into the mines and detonate the mines,
and then our soldiers will come and fight and that's the kind of shit there were don't work

about you guys, brother and sister? I wanna fuck.
In emotional idea on take one you jail at that behaviour,
kind of been unleashed on the internet in america alike,
crazy laws where you go hold on
you just dead name her and you're. Like we weren't, I do and they like you're. You know
you'll have pronouns on your twitter profile. How dare you hear me
in cannes like you made it
ten years ago. That's it we're done
Maybe you know like it, is guided by that move. Just
fascinating to me because it
here, I you know all I know really knew about around with as a kid was was these: these are there
These are my take ways that
the embassy got stormed in their hostages and then and that they wouldn't really sorry
it until reagan was inaugurated that they didn't like Jimmy Carter,
and then I will highlight the
sorry to interrupt as they I mean, listen this they can be like it. Twenty part documentary about this whole
period, because the reason they stormed the embassy
was so when the shah fleas, I think he first went to egypt were anwar, said not welcomed him, but he,
persona non grata because he was fleeing and the people that took control in iran were tell
every country we want him back, we're gonna put him on trial
What, if he's gonna happening to kill the guy he's in a worse way, possible
where's way possible. So now the shore also we find out had cancer.
Or he has said he went to new york, didn't he did. Where did he go? He once maybe kettering. He went to sloan kettering in new york, so he goes to sloan. Kettering carter welcomes him. That's where the hostage crisis happens, because the students,
storm the embassy and they go we're gonna, keep your
You know embassy workers until
You returned the shop, so that's where
that was going on and, as you said, reagan
as he was running for president struck a deal with the hostage takers and I'm not quite sure what was give
to them in return. But whatever was the deal was you will
least the hostages. When re again, you know is inaugurated, which is what they
I remember the day they release to hops ass. It is, I was in grade school, my mama's teaching and remember the sewing busted in the door and goes
they release passages and it was like.
Ah monsieur
you as an iranian american did I do I do this on my stand up now, but I remember causes and we're kid. So we were kids, so you,
get certain things, but then, when you reminded us, oh shit, so I just remember ted couple on nightline
you're. The hostage crisis is what made nightline, because he would come out and be like day. One thirty two thousand
because they still going- and you know I'm
in these two worlds, because, unlike I don't support this but
on the playground I got to like the you know, people are going to come at me for it and they'd call you fuckin iranian back. Then that was a thing they call you fucking are
in, and I think it be not, but I got caught fuckin, iranians and- and it was like
I mean no one would ever I'd. Never at the time. I
not interrupt up. Others I'd never met. I had no.
concept of
I ran at all, except for what was on the news, I'd, never met a rainy and I'd, never I'm a ride. I never met anyone, and so
I can only imagine being a kid and then being brainwashed. It's us against them.
said I said, did you lad is
is very popular, interviewer yeah. I think
you took offence story. Goes you wrote your book that you mean
the days when one wing one
he hated the russians and outside
I was kind of it
you knew your enemy was so like at it, and it was again
I was a russian kid in america,
it was really rough and I was like oh yeah.
And see it that way. I'm sorry man like you know like, but it is interesting that
gonna apology. I know this if they see that's the thing that that's. Why again I got, I think, the reason, one of the reasons trump pissed me off as someone who it was almost like having flashbacks to back, then I am
last back to the bully thing. Would call me fuckin iranians when you,
call anybody anything. I was like with the fucker. You yourself,
and because now I'm old enough to be able to say that the one you're kid you like. What did I do?
I gonna do anything and its exact
we just said, is like look, I'm an amount
I, like you know I watch football. I play baseball like I know, I'm just trying to
by on my day, and you
throw me in and that's the problem is like when you get leaders is the problem I have when when any politician comes in and goes it's the china virus, it's the euro
it's the muslims, it's the mexicans, rapists and, and and and and and drug dealers, it's the the caravan. Well, you
as a leader might mean the government of that country,
You might mean the actual criminals from that country.
But the problem is, there are a lot of assholes in this world and a lot of kids are assholes.
And they're gonna end up in a school and that poor korean
that has nothing to do with china. Some dick
it's gonna be like what's up china virus and this can be done.
Are you kidding me? Yeah force was born at saint John
Saint george santa Monica. Secondly, I'm korean you fuckin idiot,
I mean that the level of ignorance that run so so that's why
it's like when you're a leader, you've got responsibility. It's one thing to come in and be like: look. The chinese government is going to undercutting us because of the currency, blah blah blah blah blah blah they weren't honest, and so therefore-
We can impose sanctions on them. I want to remind people. This is not about any kind of you know
asian americans, or anything that good people? We love you thank you
we always you always gotta, like spoon feed people. Otherwise this kind of
happens, and it's like, I remember you know like
and I thought what am I stand up: another
I see I don't remember if the if the incidents were the same but remember there was a sixth grader when I was in the fourth grade and they will call me fuckin iranian,
and I remember coming one day I had a bite, a nice bike. Back then, was when be an xbox. Where we're happening
I'd racing incorporated, given the ever mongoose racing always was you lose sight of
physical ran like really. I was spoiled kid. My dad was a well after heed
me, shit had like nice petals and all this shit and we would we park our bikes in a instigated fence.
all day at school, and then you can get your bike after their. We lock that you can get it. I come and get it
one day and the fucking petals or god who took my fuckin petals,
and I don't know who took him out of it was the guys who were going after the goddamn you fucking area,
did it because that was the only pedals that were taken that day were my pedals, but I remember walking my bike because there's no pedal on walking my bike to the bike to the to the bike shop
and there was like one. I couldn't group a marine counting. Northern California is very white using one black kid who is in the fifth grade
Just remember him talking to me like do you know this can be fine? You know
am. I am I stand up. I go he's he's he's walking
actually gone. Don't worry about it, the rabbit dealing with this shit for two hundred and fifty years. Let me tell you what you gotta: do you gotta go see a therapist to become a comedian? That's it
and that was it dude I mean it was just it was it's crazy to be a kid in those times when your people are the enemy and and and there's nothing you can do book. But, like you said the pair
those with today are insane. I mean I see, videos birdlike when, when the print went from became president
with all the anti muslim sure that was going on. I saw videos on twitter people posting there. There was a family in florida, an arab family, and it was clearly there were arab and they, unlike the mom like had her hair covered but they're at the beach they just sitting at the beaches hanging out in some fuckin shrunk. Dude shows up with his buddies and his eye. Is america good
to turn his troops american motherfucker and I'm not really do really well.
I have no. I have no leniency for people who devalue did
all you other people, I lie I've ever stuff, like that kind breaks, my heart where you go. What the fuck is wrong with someone can't you understand that.
I don't know. I like that.
he hears it
If that was in a movie
you'd immediately hate if that guided? Did that to her?
saw that a movie he to me
I really hate himself and go that guy's a fuckin asshole, but then he does it any just thinks.
I dunno. Whatever goes back to what you said about feeling. Sorry, I you know a lot of times these people do shit like this come from an abusive home or or something like that, and my hope is. You know I hope people break that you know break that chain like if you come from an abusive home, then do your best to not be abusive. You know, and- and I tell my kids all the time I go guys if you're,
we're in a situation where your friends of yours are picking on somebody I go. I want you to step out of their circle and team up with a kid being picked on, because I got that's where you will feel invigorated and- and you will feel good about yourself.
This other shit, is bullshit like I saw my daughter's ten so thereon like xo.
and chatting and all this stuff and she was using my computer. So when it came up, I saw some of that some of the discussion
I couldn't make out if they were leaving one of the girls out. So I very you know coils.
I was walking whether I was like hey. I saw you guys
talk in that one girl
you saying she's like all yeah, she was trying to mobile and trying to see if there were like weaving her out.
Well said. So, wait a minute honey. Were you guys leaving? She goes, oh, no! No! No! She was just having trouble logging on I go. Thank you. I'm happy to hear that I go. I want to remind you if ever your friends are saying, let's leave soso out you get out of that front. You get out of that group and you go. You know what I'm saying because dude I again I think, as comedians we get to reflect a lot,
are on our past and I think, having been having seen that shit when I was a kid, I think that really etched in my brain,
and I've always been an impasse like. I always feel for people that are on
the dogs, like I remember when we first came to america. My dad's friend had a staying at his house for a briefing brief brief moment and they had a daughter who,
down syndrome, and I remember, were all sitting at the table were all eating and she was gonna acting up and the parents,
yeah they're like whatever some so good. He room she kind. I was like a sense you go through and you don't even know do like. I found myself like five minutes later, the kind of moses over to her room and just be like a uk one moment. Let you out admit they like what
if they locked her up to go to bullshit parents, use little snickers bar to her like chunk and the great vile shit man like. Oh
it's interesting. I bet you and your wife had such different experiences as children were your child.
We're going up in a place where I mean it, I would say
I don't know I I you know like I said I don't know what it's like in the rest of the united states by only live here, but my daughters are, but they go public
They went to public school, but they were so oblivious of
racism, but they were acutely aware that day
white and they were not masking or black or like they were. Then you know there
it was almost like, like a really healthy dose of like of like hard knocks, but
the bunch of privilege covered around it where there were like theirs.
Open minded about gin
equality and transgender rights in issues and all of them.
And and race and everything. However, they they also
grew up in the yard at airports?
school where there were like they're like oh mask
kid sadia word black.
if the were we just stay away from that shit, don't fight a black jack like those I wants is one girl
This one girl up in the hallway like a kind of world. We're like ok, see you enough to say,
I the mix, but nobody bad idea
no it's great listen. I really the kids. My kids, give me hope for the future is exactly you said. Like
they seem to be in the no and it's not a castle. Culture thing at all is kind of like they're on it, like my son, is in seventh grade and he's part of like the social justice group and they're talking about you know from climate change to the blacklist
matter too. I mean they're they're they're in the know. You know, and and and that's why it's it it always it it it
confuses me or or puzzles me when I see young people that are like hard core reply,
applicants and again that has nothing to do with. Like again, I have republican friends. I have democrat friends, but like this, the bench shapiro, the Charlie Kirk's, who like in the early twenty
these and they're like well, you know we need to defend the verb and, unlike don't you have
rebellious bone, but I think that their rebelling now against.
The left
but in reality it's not really.
rebellion, because I think with
You like it or not. I don't care what side IRAN this country's becoming more diverse, this country.
Is moving and, like you know, they say that the the the ark the ark of the social justice bends towards or the arc of times of busters, but I mess it up bends towards justice. Basically. But so when you look at like
Wherever a few years ago, gay people can get married legally. You know that sub areas given that was real.
Thirty forty years ago, black and white. Couldn't do it right so,
we want no longer me, but of course I am aware, Emily
I don't want to bring up sensitive issues. There was a comic I wish. I could remember I this it's. I that had a great joke about that and I was like it was a long time ago, keep going
and I'm going to fuck his joke up. No, but I'm just saying like these kids you're right, like my, I have hope when I see our kids and endless and you're right and in a way they're still privilege they were were grown up and their privileged. But I do like to see oh man, I love it when I see like young people who are politically active, we need to be politically.
the fact that a hundred and what would be like hundred and fifty and sixty million people went on voted this time. Like the lou
and the winner had the most votes. That's, I think, that's a world. We need to be a part of
then. I think we need more more people to care about these same because when you don't care about it, then you sit back and then you can play
if we go well, what did you do to change it like this time around? Like I'll tell you, I've become more and more political as the years have gone by so you know few elections back
and I feel like I've done a little bit of money, then like
The previous elections, like all a little bit more money, then this time around
I don't need money, I did foam banking, I went to nevada and was-
poll watcher like I was getting active. I was helping people fire make sure they had the proper. There was a. There was a a nonprofit that that that's also a nonpartisan, but tends to be more people on the left or
are reaching out, but that it was to make should provide the right idea to vote in every state. So I felt like,
I was part of something and I think it s important
I think our kids, your kids, my kids, are, are. Are that and And- and I think that they're not they're unapologetic about it- you know I I want my kid to come up and be like look, I'm organizing,
a protest or a march or a fundraiser or whatever I'd be proud of that kid. I'd be like that's the that you know. That's! That's how cause cause you see, people when you watch
that girl, Amanda gorman, give the recite the poem
at the inauguration as she so eloquent and she's twenty two years old has a holy shit like this. I know how did I
to stand up for twenty two years of forty eight years old, I keep trying to write an op piece about something into
king myself, out of grabbing nobody wants to hear my appear forget I want to do
or even like I wanted to do a rant on my instagram. I don't want it now, but if people going to judge you to know be proud, stand up that person's a person just like you get up and fight for justice, and I think our kids are
that yeah, I said to someone during this right before this election.
I said I don't really you know, I don't really care about politics. I don't really follow it too much and it was a. I was a maybe a blackjack or black
it was with a care member was miss patter, my boss, primarily baha, but
they were like you don't have to,
again and again if he gets
did again- nothing here
as for you and if Biden wins, nothing, changes for you like your evening,
no horse in the race. You just everything's gonna, be
Fine is your white and I'd never realized,
like I always just been like, I don't politics from Europe, it seems like
a reason, people can't hang out or party or or be it a bar this
Someone brings a politics, are really shuts down in a far
it all the son. Why did you to bring that up? He's right over there like, let's just all, hang out
I can't you to lose. Remember that I forget what was it
It is I wish I knew because I would love credit them and also of fat man. Now I have the luxury of being
I most? I try to keep it out of my act because, because I I definitely don't wanna polarized people who decided to come see me
you stand of em, and I know that I'm not. I don't have
all the answer. Nor do I had whatever opinion I give. You is gonna, be half informed, and so why would I
like I'm not going on, but you know what that's a beautiful
then, because you gotta talk about what your passion about where you want to talk about. Right, in fact, is that the european
critics may find you like. I was talking to Debbie Gutierrez on my podcast and she told me cause she started getting political on twitter and I was like Debbie what what made you want to get political, because she said you just you know parenting stuff. She did. You know our kids are both have one or or or
el gb tick q having one of them is, as she said, do not the church we went to was suddenly like on accepting of that.
Rivers are going to step up its my kid and that's why
I'm telling you it's like a car,
will come your way where you like, oh shit like like for me. Look I've always been political.
If for and there's been a lot of stuff, where again, I was a little more hands off political, I did protesters, I am very anti war and stuff, but I did protests against the iraq. War
but this time around it was, I think, part of it was that
muslim ban and realizing like this one. The fuck is coming after everybody and when I see this mother, not just him just that mentality of what we're going to you know, the you know, muslims or refugees are bad. I mean listen, I could I could break it down for you left and right, but I keep running into people. Tell me these stories. There's a group called mirrors list this girl, by the way, as many as crazy, like nut jobs as there are out there. There's people doing the work of angels
so this girl Mary, is this you white girl who all of a sudden got a message from a friend go and Hannah. You had babies
Certainly there is
syrian refugee family recently came in,
this area, germany, like any of their like new car seats, anything I could use so that
go to visit the syrian family. They've come to america. They got nothing so Mary. What does she do? She puts a little post on our facebook page, hey guys, trying to find some.
for this family. Can you help me out and all the sun people step up so long story short? She creates a nonprofit called me
this list, and I are why marries list so she's been helping. All kinds are refugee families from all these different countries,
and these are people running away from war, and they come in here
and they got nothing so she helps them. You'll, find housing, get their furniture, etc, etc, and,
What what's amazing about her is when I talk to her she, those you know before trump had taken over
the u S had a limited was like. Maybe like a hundred and twenty thousand refugees can come to america,
as she said, that was the number that was set and by the way all those people are bedded to make sure there
legitimate lester.
and she was usually when they were aiming for on twenty. You would get like eighty percent of that would make it here and we settled in it. She goes under the trump administration
every year that numbers got lower, lower, learn. The point we're like this past year was like eighteen
thousand, were allowed. So we like a hundred twenty two eighteen thousand. Now. Why does it affect me? I'm not a refugee, but there
It affects me because I'm an immigrant who left the country.
was in turmoil and I landed in america
and if I had landed- and they told me no you're not allowed go back to that situation. Rule I got what
I go. How do I not sympathise?
somebody who's in a war that,
Possibly we had a hand in somehow causing you and you don't say
so say no, we had a hand in any fucking war in this, but we had said
We have some skin and therefore, in a game always do
I'm getting contacts of your contact lens where're, you know ordering contacts can be a hassle. Now you can order your contacts about italy, mouse and its supervision, or do we
one eight hundred contacts they've been delivering contact lenses for twenty five years and have your contacts in stock. Even if you have a strong prescription or astigmatism, it couldn't be simpler. You order the same contacts you would get from your doctor. Just look on the side of your contact box. You find your prescribed

They had contacts and stock. I'm telling you it's! That was my friend. I ve been doing this for twenty five years. All you gotta do is let one hundred contacts get you the context,
it. You need order online or at one eight hundred contacts dot com. I said order online or at one eight hundred contacts, dot, com, download the free, app or just call one eight hundred contexts when one hundred two six six, eight two two eight. So it fascinates me as you think
This is this is by the way, I'm everything we're talking about. A sub charged late,
that I want everyone remember. We are also
it's comments, and so what I want
Nobody half baked statement like them about to make. Remember I'm just trying to work on
without one day from that,
it's all like every fucking. Every purpose I have come any conversation I have is either to try to help somebody
read a book or at a joke, but when you think about it like that
I don't really bothered when I really really bothered who's gonna sound. So black and white privileges
but like when we read that our house and the stereotyped it you that that was being put out, thereabout mexicans
when you have any sort of constructing going on that you're living through in your living in a construction site. You really
That is an extremely inaccurate. Ah there's a very inaccurate statement, and every I don't. I can't say everyone, but in my experience all the guys were latino most predominant mexican. They were the sweetest guys the fucking most feared
if the skies and fucking and the hardest working guys and they're working on our new house too. I love these guys, they're kind of like family liked you, you know, you'd use anyone that knows that they
worked work. The people that don't work on your house kind of turning to family, a little bit yellow and so
I got really bothered with anything
rio type that was put out, thereabout, mexicans being
they're just coming here to rape and- and I was like- that's not who fucking gets crawls through a tunnel from one side of the country to another,
side too does not become the pursue get crammed into under me of a truck
in this country that someone looking for opportunity rapist is just going to stay there like
If anything and everything we should not allow anyone about anymore. American kids, like that, like one
I feel like
zuzu lazy, that's is not doing ship.
say it all. The time I go, the biggest threat to americans are americans are all right off the bat
the thumb. Yet, listen, dude, listen, listen! First of all, no apologizing because we're just talking and one of one of my biggest pet peeves by the way is when people come on. I might like on my social media, twitter the go stick to comedy and, like you know what
fucker you stick to accounting or where the fuck it is a good, do
human being, and I cannot political opinions, and this is,
my political opinions and what you just said see: that's that's. Where
you see these people and you know I guarantee you burn
if one of those guys it was workin on your house, you saw
im out there one day crying and you're like what's going on, there were like well, they deported my wife, because x Y Z, you would be pissed off and be like fuck, this bullshit with the deporting and blah blah blah, because dude or if you watched it
They have a this documentary series on netflix got immigration nation and usually I get through. I go from episode, one.
Ten whatever it is. I watch it will this one by episode to us, I can watch us anymore. It was so heartbreaking because it talks about this. These documents from
Hackers were able to follow around ice agents just at a time when trot became president, and it would go around deporting people and is interesting because it first the ice agents are like well.
and I have no problem doing what we're doing, because we're deporting people who have a criminal record. So I'm fine with that suicide. Guy says that he gets a call and he's like up hangs up as well.
I guess we're just deporting people who, whose visit his of wheat visas have expired. So he went from deplorable that criminal records to deplore the way they did not have criminal.
Its, and then you see this one story like just breaks my heart, there's a guy who was like,
cop in El Salvador there was the salvadoran gangs who will come after him and there's a new york cop who is talking
the documentary on his behalf and he's like yeah, you know when someone so Eduardo in El Salvador
whenever I needed any kind of information on the self gangs.
I call on you to help me out in new york and then one day I was taught
you know me, said: hey, listen, man they're coming after me, I need to come to america. So he brought his family to america now when he comes here, he's not documented, but he sets up shop. He becomes like a plumber. He he's pays
this tax is his kids are teenagers
he's living the american dream, pay everything's, fine,
and they show the cops show up. The ice shows up and they're. Like sorry buddy, we got to the poor you and is like, but I'm here I'm doing everything right and the gop well, under this new administer,
and you're not get up, and you see that you like what the fuck, and so,
All of that to say you know,
think our lives are our politics. You know and- and I think that when we let down
our guard. You know data have to like
We are still talking about it, but there are times when going back to the bully thing. You either
step you stand up for thee.
The under represented or you sit back and watch it and that's the choice right. So I choose
stand up and I take a lot of shit. I take shit from my own people. I had so many iranians have loved trump that were on the,
call me there is, there is a huge swathes of of
middle eastern dude who loved tromp like
Damn it was. I was. I was very taken aback by thy and expect that, but
it's crazy. They love like they think that is strong, and this in that and then the iranian thought, because the problem, one of the prize with tropic and going back to logic like like when you talk about like this guy, who shows up at the pizza place
and think for a moment like. Why would they have a pedophile ring in a pizza place
Like I do, I tried a joke about was kind of dark, but I was like when the way pizza place a worse place, to have a child sex ring because
yeah. He shop. You know, it'd, be like this. These kids are a little fat like you got any any kids that is there like a
child sex ring it like a whole foods are healthier kidney. These kids are beneath the pizza. So suddenly
That is just a joke, but it didn't who pretty, with the the trap had said that he was he.
Busy had put in the minds of a lot of iranian that he's. Gonna get right,
of the muslim leadership them
laws. So a lot of iran is really bought into that. Now, then you go where what's his game plan there, like I don't know the really no game plan so eyes continued to be vocal.
And probably lost a lot of fans for it. But I was like I would rather have that then to be quiet,
And but this is me because it just who I am you know, then to be quiet.
And be like or whatever I you know, I kept all the fans
There I'm lying to now, because you know you don't say
but that's been my style for my entire career. I've politics would look let's we should pivot and talk rocard. My especial end
I didn't get to. I was listen dear progress, and I just was this,
the beginning of that guy that had the worst twenty twenty sammy semi semi
bay? What happened was twenty twenty holy shit bert? First of all, I want you to call my pike S well loved you. I would love to would love to have

Secondly, an excuse for me to talk to people with interesting stories, so I've had people on like Michael Cohen, who was donald trump fixer, all the way to
a guy who had their land the rover on mars to a woman.
Who is a cave diver? She goes under glaciers fire. I just bought her book. It's me

four months later and they're like oh
That guy has disappeared. We don't know where he went his way. What so that he finds a doctor on Google

story, as he told me this

He gave me this thing. It was like the jaws of death and he's

If he wasn't fully dead. He was running around my house with his head and the thing is, I thought I had a crazy twenty twenty like it just got our refrigerator stopped working. The house was falling

I say it trump joke if somebody yells at me, I'm just going to be like.
