You all the journey through.

17
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:21.840
Towns and space. Greetings everybody, welcome to this latest installment

18
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.280
of the Dave Carter Program. I am Dave Carter, and

19
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.799
as my daughter likes to call me, cue Ball, that's

20
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.079
pretty sweet. No, now that's my not to be confused

21
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.719
with my daughter in law, who says it when I

22
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.599
wear a turtleneck or sweater shirt something of that nature

23
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.040
that's got a high neck on it, then I look

24
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.000
like a bingo dabber. She's also very affectionate as you

25
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.959
can tell ours is an affectionate family. There's no getting

26
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:46.879
around that. You could rope us off in charge admission

27
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.400
to watch. But we have fun now. When my beer

28
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.120
started coming in white years ago, my sister began calling

29
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.760
me crampy Doodle, So, which is that's pretty cool. And

30
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.640
somewhere along the line, I also became known as father

31
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.200
to time, which is so serves as a lesson that

32
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.000
you really shouldn't take yourself too seriously because odds are

33
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.479
no one else that's going to take you seriously to either.

34
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.400
So I hope you folks are doing well. We're humming

35
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.039
along here. Next week, I believe we're going to have

36
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.240
my friend and talk radio host Extraordinariy Brian Russ from

37
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.000
News Talk of one on one FM here in the

38
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.039
Florida Panhandle. We'll be talking over the days headlines and

39
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.639
trying to make sense of all that. But today we're

40
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:27.800
going to leave all the pressure cooker stuff and all

41
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.919
that drama behind and talk with a guy that I

42
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.360
met years ago in twenty thirteen when Ricochet did a

43
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.680
live podcast but there are two hundredth podcasts. He was

44
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.319
in front of an audience in Los Angeles. I believe

45
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.599
at the campus of USC. I was there. Pat Sajak

46
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.599
was there. Peter Robinson was there, the guy that wrote

47
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.479
the Berlin Wall speech for Ronald Reagan, rob Long, who

48
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.599
produced the show Cheers. James Lilax was there. Molly Hemingway,

49
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.439
who you see on the Fox News Channel a lot,

50
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.080
and she's the editor in chief over at the Federalist.

51
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.000
She was and we all had a great time. And

52
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.520
it was at that event that I met today's guest

53
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.680
David Diebel and his gracious and lovely wife, and so

54
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.000
it had a great time. We started a friendship there

55
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.039
and he has been a friend of this program from

56
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.000
that point forward. He is a great guy, so it

57
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.120
just seemed to make sense to bring him on this

58
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.680
latest iteration of the program, as seen on Rumble and

59
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.560
some other platforms. So for those of you who are

60
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.159
not familiar with him, here's a snippet of a recent

61
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.960
live act that he did, and I think you will

62
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.360
get agree in again from Los Angeles.

63
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.360
I did live in San Francisco for a year where

64
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.919
I was not only presidents of the Bay Arey Republicans Club,

65
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:55.800
but I was also the member po This is my hobbie,

66
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.560
but I didn't say of this culture war a gun.

67
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.960
You know, Republicans so with their sons, Mary Dillon Crad's Democrats,

68
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.400
don't their son's marry women.

69
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:14.039
It's just ridiculous, as you can see.

70
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.399
And as I noted in our first show on Rumble,

71
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.680
we steer clear of the sky is falling doomsday type

72
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.439
stuff here. That's my wife has noted repeatedly. It seems

73
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.199
that I have the sense of humor of a twelve

74
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.399
year old. So lately it's trending more toward ten years old,

75
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.759
I understand. So a laugh is never too far away

76
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.079
on this program. That is the case. I'm left stuck

77
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.360
in traffic here in the Bay County, Panama City, Panama

78
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.839
City Beach area. The local drivers here, while they're not

79
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.319
crazed comic cozes like in Memphis, they still have their

80
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:49.000
own issues. They drive like they're on Delauded or they're

81
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.000
turning up the Vaalum or something. They are in a

82
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.199
hurry to pull out in front of you on traffic,

83
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.399
at which point they then forget where the accelerator is,

84
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.720
so off they go like a herd of turtles. You know,

85
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.959
in Memphis they couldn't find the brakes in Panama City,

86
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.000
they can't find the gas. I used to joke that

87
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.160
if the tourist was from Alabama, they would get in

88
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.879
the left lane and go fifteen miles an hour. They

89
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.480
were from Canada, they would get in the left lane

90
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.120
and stop. But I do think that's a good portion

91
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.480
of the local drivers here should have the pedometer torn

92
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.560
off the dash and stick a calendar up there so

93
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.480
they can more accurately track their progress as they move

94
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.160
through traffic. At a blazing five miles per week. It's

95
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.439
kind of like a sloth, but there could be a

96
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.240
lot worse things happening, and I've been in a lot

97
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.000
worse places, so I'm a happy camper. I just wish

98
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.160
we could do something about the traffic, but that's a

99
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:39.759
topic for another day.

100
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:47.120
Celebrities, authors, pandits no more people to all here all

101
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.519
on the Dave Carter Show. Well, I have a decent

102
00:05:49.560 --> 00:06:04.920
civilized conversation, all right, my guests today.

103
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:06.920
Folks is a gentleman that I've known for over a

104
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.720
decade now, if you can believe it, and we actually

105
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.439
have a few mutual friends in common as well. Magician

106
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.199
Chip from Merrow is a friend of mine from high school,

107
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.079
but this guy, David Diebel, He's a comedian, a juggler,

108
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.639
he's possessed with. I should just leave it right there,

109
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.360
should not, David, that he's possessed and let them get

110
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.720
what you're possessed with. Actually, he's possessed with a wicked

111
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.720
sense of humor and his Unnatural Acts show has entertained

112
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.199
audiences all over the world. He appeared on The Night

113
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.639
Show with Jay Leno, and he was apparently the only

114
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.040
performer to get kicked off America's Got Talent. I wish

115
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.879
I'd known what little trick he used for that insight

116
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.199
gotten me out of a lot of staff meetings. Over

117
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.319
the years. He's also been on The Late Show, The

118
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.199
Late Late Show, I'm Sorry, Last Comic Standing, CBS This Morning,

119
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.079
and A and E's Network's Antiopy appears at the Comedy

120
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.360
and Magic Club and MC's the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

121
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.319
When he's on that side of the globe, his engaging style,

122
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.439
audience acumen, and intelligent comedy conspire to spread grease, fire

123
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.600
laughter at world class venues around the world. And this

124
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.879
is a delight to welcome here to the program. Good morning,

125
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.120
David Morning.

126
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.480
You know I normally I'm not a quibbler about these things.

127
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.720
But you overlooked my most important credit, my most recent one.

128
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:20.680
Yeah.

129
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.040
I was on a TV show recently, but the host

130
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.680
had to go and get himself appointed ambassador to Israel.

131
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:28.600
It was on Huckaby.

132
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.199
Oh wow, okay, I saw.

133
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.399
I was trying to get on again. But this guy

134
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.040
I gu apparently has uh he fled the cone gig.

135
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.920
How long ago was that that? That's pretty cool.

136
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.319
I was on it last summer, I think.

137
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.560
Okay, well, well I saw the little news segment about

138
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.279
the cabinet meeting yesterday and no, no, it was when

139
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.199
they sat down with the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, and

140
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.759
Huckaby was at the end of the table looking just

141
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.800
just as pleased as punch to be there. So that's

142
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:01.360
pretty cool.

143
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.800
Yeah, it was neat. They flew me out to Tennessee

144
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.279
and it was like being in Los Angeles for all

145
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:08.839
the Californians that are out there.

146
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:11.839
What was.

147
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.399
They tape just outside of Nashville. I forget the name

148
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:18.079
of the suburb.

149
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.519
Okay, yeah, Nashville is a pretty pretty sprawling place and

150
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.560
they've got their own issues. There is not Memphis.

151
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.600
It was no, no, no, But my grandmother was from Memphis,

152
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.680
and just being in Tennessee, really it's me it's neat

153
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.080
going back to where my mom's side of the families

154
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:33.639
comes from.

155
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.080
Sure, yeah, well we're going to cover a lot of

156
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.639
topics this morning. But I don't know if I've ever

157
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:42.039
asked you this particular question, but I'm just curious, how

158
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.000
did how did you get started in comedy and juggling

159
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.000
and all that? I know? I was the class clown

160
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.240
in school and I have the grades to prove it

161
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.480
still am to some degree. But how did how did

162
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:52.440
it all start for you?

163
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.399
Well? It's uh. I started. I had an uncle who

164
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.960
was a magician, Uh, not a professional, but he always

165
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:06.080
did card tricks and would amaze the family with magic,

166
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.279
and he was an associate member of the Magic Castle

167
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:14.320
in Hollywood. Okay, So I started getting into magic like

168
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.279
a lot of young boys do, and I started performing

169
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.960
right away. I think the first show I did was

170
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:24.360
in my parents' garage. I convinced my cousin down the street, Tracy,

171
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.080
to be my assistant, and I remember I did a

172
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.440
trick where I put a handkerchief over my thumb and

173
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.399
stick pins in my thumb. It's really, really holding a

174
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:40.039
carrot very basic. So I started very early, eight years old.

175
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.480
By the time I was ten, I had learned juggling,

176
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.960
and I did both for a while. But I've always

177
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.600
done comedy. I always did speaking. I didn't perform to

178
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.879
music or anything like that, and so I'm a pretty

179
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.720
slow learner in a lot of ways. But when it

180
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.879
comes to I've always had an ear, so I always

181
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.840
had good timing, and you can always relatively comfortable speaking

182
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:08.080
to people much older than me. So that's the way

183
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.519
it started. And after high school I went to Europe,

184
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.279
performed on the streets out there, did some busking in

185
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.919
France and Germany, and I started doing comedy clubs toward

186
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.799
the end of the comedy boom. So much for timing, right,

187
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:23.720
comedy boom is winding down and I'm starting to do

188
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.759
comedy clubs, and so it's just been a very gradual

189
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.799
process from a very early age.

190
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.600
Well that's cool, and you travel. You mentioned having gone

191
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.600
to Europe. I know you travel all over the world,

192
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:37.879
so I'm curious about your reaction to the TSA no

193
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.360
longer requiring travelers to remove their shoes as they process

194
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.080
through security. Is that a significant improvement for passengers or

195
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.279
what do you make of it?

196
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.360
Well, yeah, I mean because they you haven't had to

197
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.639
remove your shoes in Europe in ages. I can't remember

198
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.000
the last time I had to take off my shoe fly.

199
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.480
Shoes fly. We're going through security anywhere in Europe, and

200
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.159
I just wonder, you know, what technology do they possess

201
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.200
and how can we get it? I remember, you know,

202
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.720
it was because of the shoe bomber, right, I forget

203
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.679
the name of this guy. I remember I was hanging

204
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.000
out with Kevin neelan once comedian. He said, why couldn't

205
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.360
there have been a pante bomber?

206
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:20.399
Thought that was.

207
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.879
And they're also much more polite. I have to say,

208
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.759
this is not a anti American podcast by any means, right,

209
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.240
but you know that the Europe's equivalent to the TSA

210
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.679
are much more polite. Although lately I find that I've

211
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.519
had some really good experience in the United States with

212
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.720
the TSA teaching you very well. But I remember one

213
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.919
time they tried to confiscate my hair Jill, because I

214
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:50.320
had six ounces of it in my carry on bag,

215
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.080
and you know I didn't let them take it. I

216
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.480
just put it in my hair where apparently it's legal

217
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.399
like the hair bomber. That's right. And then recently though

218
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.799
this guy wanted to he said they had to pat

219
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.480
me down for some reason. He says, when I read

220
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.399
sensitive parts of your body, I'll use the back of

221
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:13.480
my hand. You talk about disappointment day, I don't. I

222
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.799
don't want to back in the hand.

223
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.039
Well, it's kind of a backhanded compliment. Then I guess

224
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.240
that's right. So do you travel to New York City

225
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:23.879
very often?

226
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.840
I'm going to be in New York next month or

227
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:27.360
in August.

228
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.679
Yeah, okay, all right. So I was curious because it

229
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:34.240
looks like there's a real possibility that I may mangle.

230
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.559
His name is soron mom Donnie or something like that.

231
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:42.360
Actually has that bad Mommy I heard Bad Mommy.

232
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.679
Feels like he's got a shot at being the next

233
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.200
mayor of New York City. So, for those of you

234
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.879
who aren't familiar with him. On the political spectrum, this

235
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.480
guy is somewhere to the left of Lennon. So that's

236
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.120
give you an idea. So what do you think of

237
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.759
a bad Mommy administration would look like in New York City.

238
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.000
Well, it's funny you struggle with the name because personally,

239
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.080
I cannot wait until the President of the United States

240
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.480
starts saying this guy's name, his name. I can't do Trump,

241
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.399
but everything you can do Trump a little bit right,

242
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:22.120
mad money. Question, how is he going to merge New

243
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:27.559
York City Pride Month with globalizing the inta? That's what

244
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.799
I want to know. Or are there are are the

245
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.200
participants going to be thrown from a higher ceiling rooftop

246
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:40.559
a lower rooftop? They might survive horrible injuries. I have

247
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:44.360
no idea, but I tell you Trump could actually end

248
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.879
his campaign in a heartbeat just by issuing him a pardon. Right,

249
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.879
That's why by Erica Adams his toast right, Trump issued

250
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.720
him aparton. He doesn't even have to give a reason

251
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:59.360
for the pardon, just say any crimesmud Money they have committed,

252
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.720
you know in the last ten years, we won't charge him.

253
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.080
And years ago, I had a friend, Yeah, I had

254
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.440
a friend years ago, and this particular one we were

255
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.120
stationed together in New Mexico in the in the mid

256
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.480
late eighties, and he wanted to get a T shirt

257
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.519
that would offend as many people as possible all in

258
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:25.559
one saying, so here's his shirt, said nuke gay whales

259
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.639
for Jesus. Right, that's what recovers the whole spectrum.

260
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.840
Right, Well, the right has its own omni cause, right,

261
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.080
I've always wanted like a hybrid vehicle that runs on

262
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:39.799
both a fossil fuels and whale blubber, you know, a

263
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.879
combination of the team, not just one. But it's funny

264
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.440
you should say that this. I think that omni cause

265
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.720
is a great term. Like ice. In my hometown of

266
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.440
Long Beach, I saw a poster and a store front.

267
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.919
I forget the wording, but instead of dropping bombs on Gaza,

268
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.240
we should be building homes for Long Beach Lesbians. What

269
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.519
do these two issues?

270
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.200
Probably wouldn't work out, So that's right exactly. I saw

271
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.240
where we now have colossal sized American flags sprouting up

272
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.320
on either side of the White House. Are you seeing

273
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.679
some kind of a flag war from different factions or

274
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:22.279
what's going on here?

275
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:27.000
Yeah? Well it's funny. I live in a pretty good

276
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:31.559
sized city not far from Los Angeles, and in my neighborhood,

277
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.440
I mean, if you were combined the Pride flags and

278
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.159
the Ukrainian flags, they would surely outnumber the American flags.

279
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.639
And this is around the fourth of July but there's

280
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.799
one house in particular. I saw it has a Ukrainian flag,

281
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:52.159
a Pride flag, and now a Mexican flag, which I

282
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:55.759
guess is for our friends, the immigrants. But you see

283
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.919
the Ukrainian flag, a Pride flag, a Mexican flag, and

284
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.120
you can't help but one wonder what do these people

285
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.000
have against the Palestinians. I don't get it done.

286
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.320
Well, I don't know. It's just the American flag.

287
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:12.879
Do they have to be such that they should have

288
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.840
every flag in the United Nations plus North Korea, which

289
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:18.799
I don't think is in the United Nations?

290
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:20.639
It ought to be, you know, along with all the

291
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:21.480
other folks.

292
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.000
That the test the correct It would be a good fit.

293
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah. On the last episode of this program,

294
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.799
it's a couple of weeks ago, a week or two ago,

295
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:31.080
we had doctor Stanley Ridgely, he's a professor of strategic

296
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.799
studies at Jackson University, and we talked about the academic

297
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.000
ecosystem in America and how it's pretty disenchanted as a

298
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.759
whole with this country, no matter who's in the White House. Actually,

299
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.360
so do I understand correctly that Europe is now recruiting

300
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.919
unhappy academics from the US to go over there. Do

301
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:49.559
I have that right?

302
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.519
Well, I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal.

303
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.399
They're not even having to recruit them. I believe the

304
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:03.480
headline used the word disenchanted refer to academics uncomfortable in

305
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.920
the United States and who are now self deporting for

306
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.440
you know, gigs in Europe, which has been iron because

307
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:16.119
you know it was academics in Europe were coming to

308
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.799
the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Right,

309
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.559
they were overwhelmingly fascists and communists, and they were of

310
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:29.039
course completely welcome at places like Harvard, Yale, all the Ivys,

311
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:34.480
right these what's that great line about how fascism is

312
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.519
always descending on the United States, but it only seems

313
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.240
to arrive in Europe. It's absolutely true. Yeah, I think this.

314
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.319
If this trend continues, it'll just be another example.

315
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:50.119
Yeah. Now, you indicated that in our conversation leading up

316
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:53.000
to today's show that there are a couple of questions

317
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.720
that will reveal which side of the political divide a

318
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.880
person leans toward. Now I'm kind of curious about that.

319
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:02.200
What are those questions?

320
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.359
I think the two questions would be. The first is

321
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.920
how much water pressure do you like in your shower?

322
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.839
The second is are illegal immigrants entitled to taxpayer funded

323
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:16.039
sex changes? And if the answer is a lot of

324
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:20.359
water pressure and no, then you're conservative. Very little water pressure,

325
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.319
and yes, you're probably a liberal.

326
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.279
Yeah, or a lot of pressure in my shower, but

327
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:26.640
the other folks would be regulated.

328
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.519
Yeah, maybe that last question is a little too explicitly.

329
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.359
Now. I used to carry in a previous life an

330
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.599
ex wife and I had the water pressure meant a

331
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.079
great deal, and I would carry a spare shower head

332
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:46.839
whenever we traveled. If the hotel just kind of drip drizzled,

333
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:49.000
eat the water out, then I would go with a

334
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.359
little plumbers tape and actually remove that shower head, put

335
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.960
the other shower head up. And it made for a

336
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:56.400
peaceful stay, if you will.

337
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.359
So, yeah, yeah, I'm old enough to remember that. If

338
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.200
you like your dog, you can keep your doctor. But yeah,

339
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.480
like your light bulb, you can't keep your light bulb.

340
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.279
You know. Any any country that won't let you keep

341
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:09.119
your shower head is not going to let you keep

342
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:10.599
your doctor or your insurance.

343
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.119
That's a good point. That's good, or yours or your

344
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.000
gas stove. I know they were they were looking to

345
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.480
that too.

346
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.960
One the other reason they failed on that is because

347
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.880
of the rooftop Koreans. Won't let them.

348
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:26.279
Take they have They been around in l A, the

349
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.680
rooftop Koreans during the during the ice protests.

350
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.880
Not to my knowledge, I saw a lot of these,

351
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:40.000
uh people, not the rooftop Koreans, but the ones there were,

352
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.279
you know, the the the agitators, the the you know

353
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.920
on the freeway overpasses. Right, But I haven't seen I

354
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.599
haven't seen any homes yet attacked or storefronts things like that.

355
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.720
And if I remember correctly, we refer to rooftop rooftop Koreans.

356
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.839
Those were the people that there were, store owners the

357
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.000
that we're protecting their property against people who wanted to

358
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.519
smash and loot and tear up their businesses. And they

359
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:09.480
had no These folks were immigrants, they had no beef

360
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.119
in anything, and yet their stores are being looted. So

361
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.599
they actually took to the roofs and defended their property.

362
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:20.440
Yeah, I think it clarifies why Harvard discriminates against Jews, Whites,

363
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:21.319
and Asians.

364
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:28.519
Too much tendency to protect one's property. Last question, it

365
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:31.240
has no bearing on politics. It's kind of personal about

366
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.519
what the heck here we are. A friend of mine

367
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.039
here in Panama City actually runs a comedy group here.

368
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.279
He's doing really well, and then he's invited me on

369
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:42.359
a few occasions to open mic night. And actually I'm

370
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.319
actually sort of thinking about it. But I'm wondering because

371
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:47.839
it seems to me like stand up would be fun.

372
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:50.559
You'd tell funny stories. Everyone gets a few yucks and laughs,

373
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.880
and then they finally agree to leave and go home.

374
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.440
But it just seems pretty stressful for the comedian. From

375
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.160
what I could see, sort of like a duck, they're

376
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:00.359
gliding across the water, but what you don't see is

377
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.480
they're paddling like crazy underneath the surface. Is there a

378
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.920
key to this without who staying funny and relaxed, without

379
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.440
losing your mind or getting too wrapped up inside your

380
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:09.880
own head.

381
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.640
I don't know. I don't think there's a key, but

382
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:21.359
I mean there are vice one is for me, you know,

383
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.119
it never hurts to tell jokes, right, not necessarily joke jokes.

384
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.799
That's not really what we think of when we think

385
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.839
of stand up, But a lot of people think they

386
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.359
have a funny story, like because Bill Cosby, I know,

387
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:39.440
if I may mention Bill Cosby he didn't do jokes.

388
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.519
He told funny stories. And a lot of people think

389
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:46.279
that's easy. I've never really tried it. I don't know

390
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:49.160
if I could do it. Maybe I could. So I

391
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.799
come from kind of an older school, more like David

392
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.720
tel you know, like in that clip you played earlier,

393
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:59.519
I got married old school to a woman or you know,

394
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.960
so there jokes where maybe you just change one word

395
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.640
and it's it's funny. So my advice would be two things.

396
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:13.759
