Speaker 1: I have to play a video for you today that is out of this world cringe.
This is giga Speaker 2: cringe.
That's what the Speaker 1: kids call it.
And it really shows us how sort of backwards, like what counts as humor is completely backwards
in American right Speaker 2: wing culture right now.
Speaker 1: But it also shows us hypocrisy, and that's an important part of this as well.
So let me set it up for you.
There is a comedian, some say and comedian, and I'm completely an historian.
I'm behind.
And comedian.
It cannot be comedian Jim Breuer.
He has become sort of a darling of the right wing over his commentary about the pandemic
because he was on Tucker Carlson speaking out against vaccine mandates.
He has moved shows around to try to Speaker 2: circumvent vaccination
Speaker 1: requirements.
We had a clip of him making a total fool out of himself on Tucker Carlson's show about
a month ago.
I have never found this guy funny.
I used to hear him on The Howard Stern Show a decade ago, two decades ago, and I always
said, This guy is not funny.
I don't know why he's on.
I didn't know anything about his politics.
He has become even less funny Speaker 2: and the material
Speaker 1: I'm about to play for you.
I watch this.
It gave me chills.
I had chicken skin Speaker 2: from watching this cringe.
Speaker 1: So here's a clip of Jim Breuer, and this counts as comedy for the American
Speaker 2: right wing folks, Speaker 1: and he's sort of doing a bird impression.
Speaker 2: Now, hold on, hold on.
That could be funny.
Maybe?
I don't know.
Speaker 1: And the bird impression is to mock people who pay attention to scientists, specialists
Speaker 2: and doctors rather than, I guess, Speaker 1: right wing media figures and quacks.
And he does the bird impression while saying things like Fauci science.
And for me, the notable part of this is there have been unfunny comedians for a long time.
That's not new.
Speaker 2: The most notable part is that they Speaker 1: pan to people in the audience.
This is at one of these Reawaken America events.
And people are just losing their Speaker 2: minds, laughing,
Speaker 1: pointing, laughing.
They're in hysterics.
Do these people not get out of their house?
Speaker 2: And so for me, that says way more Speaker 1: about the people who like this
stuff.
Brewer hasn't been funny for decades, but the audience acting like this is the vanguard
of comedy is amazing.
So take a Speaker 2: look at the video.
You know what a cockatoo Speaker 5: is, cockatoo is.
And that's what everyone's become a little cockatoos staring at the screen.
Facts and figures, facts and figures.
Dr. Bakshi.
Dr Fathi.
I trust the science.
The science.
At specialist specialist numbers going up, numbers going up.
One masterminds fascinated.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
So the and I apologize for showing that to you.
The crowd just has never seen anything this funny.
This is again, it's the Reawaken America tour.
It's a right wing tour.
It's like a circus.
It goes around the country, and it's a combination of anti-vax COVID denial.
I guess Christianity and conspiracy theories, that's what it is.
And so there's a bunch of stuff here.
The hysterical crowd pointing and laughing like it's just so it it's we've never seen
anything this funny.
Do these people literally not leave their houses like, are you just
Speaker 2: watching paint dry all day that Speaker 1: this is what makes you laugh?
It's very, very strange.
Or are you just so desperate for something pretending to be comedy that makes fun of
the left to be funny that you are willing to laugh at anything?
And then here's the hypocrisy, and I want to make sure everybody understands this.
Jim Breuer laughed Speaker 2: at science
Speaker 1: specialists numbers going up following data when Jim Brewer's wife was sick
Speaker 2: with cancer.
He went on Speaker 1: the radio and he was asked about
it.
I don't remember if it was Opie and Anthony or one of those shows.
And he said, We are going to the best specialists.
Speaker 2: I mean, he he used the word Speaker 1: in this clip.
He laughs at listening to Speaker 2: specialists
Speaker 1: because it's covered when his wife was sick.
He went to specialists who said We were going to.
Speaker 2: We're finding the best specialists.
Speaker 1: We're looking at the Speaker 2: research and the
Speaker 1: double blind, placebo controlled trials, which we are now dismissing when it
comes to COVID.
We are looking at clinical trials.
Speaker 2: We are following the science.
Speaker 1: When it came down to his wife, he wasn't doing this act.
He was going to the exact professionals and trusting the exact system that he now ridicules.
You can find that segment if you look for it.
I, Sirius XM is very litigious with copyright, but you can find that segment.
So as usual, Speaker 2: disgusting value going out there
and saying Speaker 1: specialists, oh, well, Fauci, but
he doesn't even really appear to adhere to those very values when the rubber meets the
road.
Gross.
And by the way, the right still can't do comedy.
Nothing has changed there, folks.
We'll have this clip up on our Instagram.
Make sure you're following us there at David Pakman show.
We'll take a quick break and be
right back.
