How I Got Radicalized

[00:00:00]People ask me sometimes people go, "What radicalized you?" And I go, "I'm not really radical. I just think that like uh we probably shouldn't take benefits away from veterans." Like I don't think that's all that radical.

[00:00:14]>> [applause] >> Maybe we shouldn't cut the social security that senior citizens paid into their entire lives with the understanding that it would be there later to take care of them.

[00:00:25]>> [applause] >> That's not radical at all. Being encouraging people to be nice to people that are different than them isn't radical. It's not. It's not radical.

[00:00:36]And what what radicalized you? I'm like, "Well, if I had to pick one thing, I would say it's probably when I realized that only the shittiest people in a society admire bullies."

[00:00:47]And I was four when I had that realization.

[00:00:50]Turns out I've been a libtard ever since.

[00:00:53]>> [laughter] >> I think I got radicalized again when I found out about QAnon.

[00:00:59]Yeah, I know we all know what QAnon is, but do you know the conspiracy theories?

[00:01:04]Some of them are more prominent. You might know about Pizzagate. They think that uh Hillary Clinton was trafficking children out of the basement of a pizza place that doesn't have a basement. And >> [laughter] >> I can understand how you would find that very believable if you think that an elderly man can get hit in the ear with an AR-15 round and not have a scratch.

[00:01:25]>> [cheering] [applause] >> Easy to trick them.

[00:01:33]>> [applause and cheering] >> But there's more. They think that JFK Jr. is still alive.

[00:01:38]They think that Michael Jackson is still alive. I think that they think that they are alive together in like the in-between place.

[00:01:47]And that they're going to come back. I think maybe they're going to come back together and save up maybe not us, but they're going to save somebody.

[00:01:53]>> [laughter] >> They believe some crazy [ __ ] And you probably shouldn't go down the rabbit hole cuz it'll make your life worse, but I did. I went down the rabbit hole.

[00:02:02]There's a lot of I won't list them all cuz it'll bring you great sadness, but my favorite one I'm really bringing the energy down with this. Uh See I'm like, this is getting sad.

[00:02:13]>> [laughter] >> One of the funny one of the most terrifying ones is adrenochrome. Do you guys know about adrenochrome?

[00:02:21]Just a few people. Okay. Well, that's Don't feel bad cuz no crowds ever know.

[00:02:28]And I was surprised cuz the first time I did it, I did the joke assuming they would know.

[00:02:33]And they all looked at me like I mean it they looked like they were doing a Mitch McConnell impersonation. Everybody >> [laughter] >> Everybody in the room was just >> [laughter] >> frozen in time, you know?

[00:02:50]And I was like, y'all don't know what it is? And they're like, no. I was like, holy [ __ ] So, let me tell you what it is so we're all on the same page. Uh they believe they, QAnon people, and it's not dozens of people, unfortunately. I wish it was. It's not dozens of people. It's not hundreds of people. It's not even thousands of people. It's tens of thousands of people believe this. They believe that Democrats, huh, you guys, uh are going around and kidnapping children, probably from the basement of the pizza place with that basement, and you torture the children until adrenaline is released into their blood, and then you drain the blood with the adrenaline in it, hence the name adrenochrome, and then you drink the blood as a youth elixir.

[00:03:36]>> [laughter] >> It's It's funny, but it's [ __ ] terrifying, too.

[00:03:41]They believe that we are all going around drinking adrenochrome kid blood youth elixir.

[00:03:48]Right? And I'm like, that's clearly [snorts] not true, or we would have given some to Joe Biden. You know what I mean? Like Right?

[00:03:58]>> [applause] >> Listen.

[00:04:00]Listen, I like Joe, too. I'm riding with Biden, but we would have given him some of that youth elixir, wouldn't we have?

[00:04:06]>> [cheering] >> We'd have been like, "Pop, pop. Pop, pop."

[00:04:10]Get that adrenochrome. Finish that Red Bull before you go out there.

[00:04:14]>> [laughter] >> And just just be like, "Man, shut up."

[00:04:17]Just go, "Man, shut up." Just You're going to win.

[00:04:20]>> [laughter] >> Joe Biden out here single-handedly proving that adrenochrome is not real.

[00:04:29]>> [laughter] >> Donald Trump is out here single-handedly proving that the deep state is not real.

[00:04:36]Right? Every morning I wake up, I'M LIKE, "COME ON, DEEP STATE."

[00:04:39]>> [laughter] >> I was hoping it really did exist.

[00:04:45]What a [ __ ] bummer.

[00:04:47]>> [laughter] >> I'VE NEVER ROOTED for the CIA in my life.

[00:04:52]10 times a day, I'm like, "CIA, WHY DON'T YOU DO YOUR [ __ ] JOB?"

[00:04:56]>> [laughter] >> HE'S HAVING A PARADE. THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE IN ONE PLACE. SEND A DRONE.

[00:05:05]>> [laughter] >> DON'T STAGE IT THIS TIME.
