Jerry Seinfeld: PC culture and fear of offending people is killing funny shows. "When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committee, groups—'here's our thought about this joke'—well that's the end of your comedy."

Andrew Tate is cosplaying as a guy running for PM so that he can claim his legal troubles are b/c of politics. In reality, he can't even become a PM b/c he can't be elected to be one. He has to lead a party that has a majority of seats or which can carry the house. He knows this. It's part of his gift. Why are so many people eager to be fooled by this tool?

Comedy has two key roles: 1) To entertain 2) To expose societal absurdities. It can also be a tool for critical thinking, encouraging audiences to reconsider & mock ideas that don't deserve their respect. Today's guest today is The Babylon Bee's Seth Dillon. Interview 🔗⬇️

"You had very fine people on both sides..." If you only listen to that one sentence out of context, you will believe that he's equating white supremacists with protesters who want to take down monuments. But listen to the rest and you'll see that's a lie. Plenty of reasons to dislike and criticize Trump, but lies in the end only cause distrust. They might work for a while, but eventually people will discover that they are being taken for fools. And you won't get that trust back. Leaving off essential context IS a type of a lie. And this far from the only example. This happens every day towards all sorts of people who are not Trump. Look for the full unedited clip, always. Once I started doing that, my eyes opened. It was a big part of my journey and why I speak openly about things today. I don't hate journalism or journalists. I love both...when they do their job properly. When they don't, we are failed as a society on a massive level. Today, when I hear an accusation that someone like Trump said something insane, my reaction is to set aside my biases and verify. I don't believe or disbelieve it until I can check (sometimes it is true!). But repeated deception has led so many people to just reject everything the mainstream media says wholesale, even when it's true. They shouldn't, they should verify. But that's the reality. And it's the manipulation of narratives by media and a number of institutions that has led us here. Distrust is at an all time high. Quickest way to lose trust? Be caught in lies.
