[Dave Chappelle]
I came back here where I started
13
00:00:51,509 --> 00:00:55,305
because I will shoot
my final Netflix special tonight.

15
00:01:01,436 --> 00:01:02,312
That's right.
16
00:01:06,024 --> 00:01:07,358
And after this shit...
17
00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:10,820
it's time to make America wait again.
18
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:15,950
I've done too well.
19
00:01:16,451 --> 00:01:20,455
You know, if you black in show business
and do too well, it's scary.
20
00:01:20,997 --> 00:01:24,125
You got to get the fuck out of the casino
while the getting's good,
21
00:01:24,209 --> 00:01:25,585
while you're still winning.
22
00:01:26,711 --> 00:01:29,839
If you don't walk away from the table,
that's how niggas get Kevin Harted.
23
00:01:33,718 --> 00:01:34,803
You already know.
24
00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:40,475
That's my man. I'm just saying,
if he got a sex tape out...
25
00:01:41,434 --> 00:01:43,812
well, it's just a matter of time for me.
26
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:51,903
But you know why I be thinking sometimes
27
00:01:51,986 --> 00:01:54,906
I wanna stop doing comedy, and you know...
28
00:01:55,573 --> 00:01:57,742
I don't wanna sound like a braggart
saying this,
29
00:01:57,826 --> 00:02:00,161
but the real, like, reason I wanna stop
30
00:02:00,245 --> 00:02:02,914
is because I'm too goddamn good at it.
31
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:05,792
I'm dope, nigga, like--
32
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:08,545
I'm not even-- I'm not even exaggerating.
33
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:10,505
It's not exciting.
34
00:02:12,048 --> 00:02:13,550
Every night before I come out on stage,
35
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:16,219
I'll be backstage like,
"I'm sure this is gonna go well."
36
00:02:20,056 --> 00:02:21,349
And it always does.
37
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:26,563
I'm so good at writing jokes...
38
00:02:26,646 --> 00:02:28,815
And this is not even an exaggeration.
39
00:02:28,898 --> 00:02:31,734
I actually write jokes backwards.
40
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:36,239
I will write a punch line
with no particular setup in mind.
41
00:02:36,322 --> 00:02:38,116
I just put it on a scrap of paper,
42
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:40,618
and I'll throw that scrap of paper
in my fishbowl.
43
00:02:40,702 --> 00:02:44,372
I have a fishbowl in my house filled
with random punch lines.
44
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:47,083
And every once in a while,
I'll shake the bowl
45
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:49,127
and I'll dig in there and pull one out,
46
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:51,421
and see if I can make that shit work.
47
00:02:53,047 --> 00:02:54,716
And I picked one for this special.
48
00:02:56,134 --> 00:02:58,219
It's not an easy punch line to pull off.
49
00:02:58,928 --> 00:02:59,762
Are you ready?
50
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:01,222
[audience] Yeah.
51
00:03:01,306 --> 00:03:03,766
Here it goes. The punch line is,
52
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:06,227
"So I kicked her in the pussy."
53
00:03:11,107 --> 00:03:12,692
I haven't finished the joke yet.
54
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:15,904
I just know whatever happens
in the beginning of the joke,
55
00:03:15,987 --> 00:03:18,156
at the end of the joke, for some reason,
56
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:20,825
I'm gonna kick somebody in the pussy,
57
00:03:21,117 --> 00:03:23,203
and it's going to be hilarious.
58
00:03:25,121 --> 00:03:26,414
You know what's weird?
59
00:03:27,248 --> 00:03:29,042
I've always been this talented.
60
00:03:30,585 --> 00:03:32,378
I can't remember a time when I wasn't.
61
00:03:32,462 --> 00:03:35,924
You know, when I was growing up,
I was probably about eight years old,
62
00:03:36,007 --> 00:03:38,843
and at the time,
we were living in Silver Spring.
63
00:03:39,844 --> 00:03:40,720
Yeah.
64
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,056
Yes.
65
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,725
Common misconception about me and DC,
66
00:03:45,808 --> 00:03:47,936
a lot of people think I'm from the 'hood.
67
00:03:48,019 --> 00:03:48,978
That's not true.
68
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:53,233
But I never bothered to correct anybody...
69
00:03:55,443 --> 00:03:57,570
because I wanted the streets
to embrace me.
70
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:02,867
As a matter of fact,
I kept it up as a ruse.
71
00:04:03,451 --> 00:04:06,079
Like sometimes I'll hang out with rappers
like Nas and them,
72
00:04:06,162 --> 00:04:08,498
and these motherfuckers
start talking about the projects.
73
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:11,668
"Yo, it was wild in the PJs, yo."
74
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:13,711
And I'll be like, "Word, nigga, word."
75
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:15,088
But I don't know.
76
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:17,507
I have no idea.
77
00:04:19,717 --> 00:04:22,428
My parents did just well enough
78
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:25,431
so that I could grow up poor
around white people.
79
00:04:31,646 --> 00:04:33,940
To be honest, when Nas and them
talk about the projects,
80
00:04:34,023 --> 00:04:36,109
nigga, I used to get jealous.
81
00:04:37,026 --> 00:04:38,653
Because it sounded fun.
82
00:04:38,736 --> 00:04:42,115
Everybody in the projects was poor,
83
00:04:42,365 --> 00:04:43,324
and that's fair.
84
00:04:43,658 --> 00:04:45,159
But if you were poor in Silver Spring,
85
00:04:45,243 --> 00:04:48,538
nigga, it felt like
it was only happening to you.
86
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,210
Nas does not know the pain...
87
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:59,132
of that first sleepover
at a white friend's house.
88
00:05:02,552 --> 00:05:05,596
When you come back home on Sunday
and just look at your parents like...
89
00:05:06,723 --> 00:05:08,725
"Y'all need to step your game up.
90
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:14,397
Everything at Timmy's house works."
91
00:05:18,609 --> 00:05:20,194
Remember the first time you saw that?
92
00:05:20,528 --> 00:05:21,654
The cold winter
93
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:23,990
and to be at a white friend's house
and see them motherfuckers
94
00:05:24,073 --> 00:05:26,075
in their living room
without their coats on?
95
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:38,212
Timmy was one of my first white friends,
like, in my life, man.
96
00:05:38,588 --> 00:05:43,176
Good dude, too. He moved to Silver Spring
from Utah of all places.
97
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:45,303
I guess his family was affiliated
98
00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:48,181
with that Mormon church
they got down there.
99
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:50,350
Me and him used to hang out.
100
00:05:50,433 --> 00:05:52,852
One day, I was at his house,
just hanging out, and Timmy says,
101
00:05:52,935 --> 00:05:56,481
"Dave, why don't you stay
for dinner tonight?"
102
00:05:56,814 --> 00:06:00,109
I said, "Oh, man, I'd love to,
but I can't."
103
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:03,279
If I'm not home before dark,
my mother will kill me."
104
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:06,032
That was a lie.
105
00:06:07,658 --> 00:06:10,953
My mother had several jobs.
I hadn't seen her in three or four days.
106
00:06:13,664 --> 00:06:15,750
And the only reason I lied to Timmy
107
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:19,420
was because at that point in my life,
it was my experience
108
00:06:19,962 --> 00:06:22,048
that white dinner wasn't delicious.
109
00:06:27,303 --> 00:06:30,431
I'd rather go home and fry some bologna
or some shit like that.
110
00:06:38,022 --> 00:06:40,316
But then old Timmy threw me a curveball
I wasn't expecting.
111
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,111
He said, "Oh, it's too bad
you can't stay, Dave, 'cause...
112
00:06:43,861 --> 00:06:47,407
Mama made Stove Top stuffing."
113
00:06:48,449 --> 00:06:50,701
I said, "What the fuck? Stove Top?
114
00:06:52,328 --> 00:06:54,997
Hold on, nigga. Let me make
some phone calls real quick."
115
00:06:59,043 --> 00:07:00,795
I had seen that commercial so many times,
116
00:07:00,878 --> 00:07:03,965
I had dreamt of getting my hands
on some of that Stove Top stuffing.
117
00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:08,928
Finally I met a motherfucker that actually
had a box of Stove Top in the house.
118
00:07:09,011 --> 00:07:12,598
I couldn't miss this opportunity,
so I pretended to call my mother.
119
00:07:13,766 --> 00:07:15,476
Then I came back and I said, "Timmy.
120
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,980
Timmy, you're not gonna believe this.
Great news. Mom said I can stay."
121
00:07:19,063 --> 00:07:20,731
He said, "Fantastic."
122
00:07:20,815 --> 00:07:23,359
He said, "Why don't you come with me,
and we'll help set the table,
123
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:25,194
and then we can say the blessing?"
124
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:29,073
I had no interest in setting
this motherfucker's table
125
00:07:29,157 --> 00:07:32,160
or saying these crazy-ass Mormon prayers.
126
00:07:33,035 --> 00:07:35,955
I just wanted the goddamn stuffing.
127
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:39,959
I told Timmy,
"You know what? I'd love to help,
128
00:07:40,042 --> 00:07:41,878
but let me go wash my hands first."
129
00:07:41,961 --> 00:07:43,337
My plan was simple.
130
00:07:44,046 --> 00:07:45,381
Wash my hands slowly,
131
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:46,966
and by the time I'm done,
132
00:07:47,049 --> 00:07:49,844
the table will be set,
the blessing will be said,
133
00:07:49,927 --> 00:07:53,014
and all that there will be left
to do is eat.
134
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:56,350
Went to the bathroom.
135
00:07:57,059 --> 00:07:58,769
I wash my hands very slowly.
136
00:07:58,936 --> 00:08:00,980
I must have been in there
for about ten minutes.
137
00:08:02,398 --> 00:08:03,316
And suddenly...
138
00:08:04,108 --> 00:08:05,902
one of his mothers came to the door.
139
00:08:15,411 --> 00:08:18,456
She was like, "Hi. David, right?"
140
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:20,333
I said, "Yes, ma'am."
141
00:08:20,791 --> 00:08:24,921
She said, "Timmy tells me that
you're planning on staying for dinner."
142
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,423
I said, "I hope that's not
a problem, ma'am."
143
00:08:27,715 --> 00:08:30,092
She says, "No, it's no problem.
We'd love to have you.
144
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:32,803
It's just that we weren't
expecting company.
145
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:34,055
And I'm afraid...
146
00:08:34,931 --> 00:08:37,683
there's not enough Stove Top stuffing...
147
00:08:38,601 --> 00:08:39,727
for everybody."
148
00:08:42,813 --> 00:08:44,815
So I kicked her in the pussy.
149
00:08:45,608 --> 00:08:46,984
Ladies and gentlemen...
150
00:08:48,027 --> 00:08:50,071
I told you I'm dope, nigga.
151
00:08:50,154 --> 00:08:53,407
I told you that I was gonna say it,
and you still didn't see it coming.
152
00:08:53,991 --> 00:08:56,619
And that's why I make the big bucks.
153
00:09:06,128 --> 00:09:07,213
Oh, my God.
154
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:12,885
But there's a more important reason
that I would stop doing comedy right now.
155
00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:16,347
And this reason is the real reason
that's been percolating,
156
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:18,933
and it really is the crowd. Not you.
157
00:09:19,016 --> 00:09:22,853
I'm talking about the crowd
on the big stage.
158
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:26,983
It's too hard to entertain a country
whose ears are so brittle.
159
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:28,568
Motherfuckers are so sensitive,
160
00:09:28,651 --> 00:09:31,862
the whole country has turned
into bitch-ass niggas.
161
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:42,456
Everything you say upsets somebody.
162
00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:45,501
You know, I can remember
when it all started.
163
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,628
It was when I was doing Chappelle's Show.
164
00:09:47,712 --> 00:09:49,422
When I was doing Chappelle's Show...
165
00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:52,383
I used to do the show,
166
00:09:52,466 --> 00:09:55,011
and then on the weekends,
I'd do concerts and shit like that.
167
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:56,387
So, I'm doing a concert,
168
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:58,973
and there was a couple in the front row.
Beautiful couple.
169
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:02,435
The wife... The wife was obviously Asian.
170
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:06,897
You could see it in her face.
171
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:19,035
The husband...
172
00:10:20,244 --> 00:10:23,247
this motherfucker was mysterious,
to say the least.
173
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,958
Couldn't quite pinpoint where he was from.
174
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:28,502
Caramel-colored fella, very nice hair,
175
00:10:28,586 --> 00:10:30,921
but he could have been from anywhere.
Bangladesh, Mexico.
176
00:10:31,005 --> 00:10:32,757
I can't guess with a nigga like this.
177
00:10:33,924 --> 00:10:37,928
All I knew for sure about this guy...
178
00:10:39,221 --> 00:10:41,015
was that his wife was a bitch.
179
00:10:43,351 --> 00:10:45,353
I could see that in her face, too.
180
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:48,356
No, he was laughing
and having a good time,
181
00:10:48,439 --> 00:10:52,318
and she was scowling at me
at a goddamn comedy show.
182
00:10:52,401 --> 00:10:53,569
I couldn't figure it out.
183
00:10:54,278 --> 00:10:57,573
And then I realized at some point
that she was pregnant,
184
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,450
and I was smoking on stage.
185
00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:02,078
I said, "Oh, my God.
That's probably why she's mad."
186
00:11:02,161 --> 00:11:04,163
So I started to put my cigarette out,
187
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,500
but then she hit me with one of them fake
non-smoker coughs.
188
00:11:10,294 --> 00:11:11,253
So I just kept smoking.
189
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:14,256
I thought to myself,
"Bitch, that baby will be fine. Relax."
190
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,096
Then I tried to break the tension.
I just asked her-- This is all I said.
191
00:11:20,179 --> 00:11:22,223
I go, "Hey, where are you guys from?"
192
00:11:22,306 --> 00:11:26,602
And I could tell that she was on to me.
Very condescendingly, she says,
193
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:29,563
"I'm from California.
194
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:34,068
If you're asking my ethnicity...
195
00:11:35,111 --> 00:11:36,612
I am Chinese."
196
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:38,864
And her husband was just cool
about the shit.
197
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:40,950
He was like, "I'm Mexican, bro."
198
00:11:43,452 --> 00:11:45,871
I said, "Well, I'm sorry
if I offended you by asking,
199
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:47,498
but you're very beautiful couple.
200
00:11:48,207 --> 00:11:50,668
And, miss, there's no question
that you're gonna give birth
201
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:53,838
to the hardest-working baby
this world has ever seen."
202
00:11:59,009 --> 00:12:00,261
It's not a bad joke.
203
00:12:01,637 --> 00:12:03,055
She got very upset.
204
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:04,890
She got up to leave immediately.
205
00:12:04,974 --> 00:12:07,893
She didn't just leave. She had to take
one last dig at me on the way out.
206
00:12:09,019 --> 00:12:14,525
"I will never buy one of your fucking DVDs
again, Dave Chappelle."
207
00:12:16,318 --> 00:12:18,612
I said, "Ma'am, with all due respect...
208
00:12:19,655 --> 00:12:21,699
Chinese people don't buy DVDs."
209
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,083
And the crowd went crazy.
210
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:33,043
We were all laughing
and having a good time.
211
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:34,795
I didn't even think anything of it.
212
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:36,756
And then, just three days later,
213
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:39,925
this lady sends a fucking letter
to my promoter
214
00:12:40,009 --> 00:12:42,636
telling him not to book me
for shows anymore
215
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,972
because I was quote "racist." Huh?
216
00:12:45,556 --> 00:12:48,350
And... And I'm quoting her,
217
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:51,687
"insensitive to the nature
of my interracial marriage."
218
00:12:52,271 --> 00:12:54,648
I was like, "Word, bitch, I was?"
219
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:02,448
If she had just done
a little bit of research...
220
00:13:02,990 --> 00:13:08,078
She would know that I myself am
in an interracial marriage.
221
00:13:09,121 --> 00:13:09,997
That's right.
222
00:13:11,373 --> 00:13:15,211
In fact, my wife is Asian, too.
223
00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:18,672
Surprise, bitch.
I'll see you on Thanksgiving.
224
00:13:25,304 --> 00:13:26,847
But my wife's not Chinese.
225
00:13:27,681 --> 00:13:28,766
She's Filipino.
226
00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:31,393
That's right.
227
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:34,313
And our kids look Puerto Rican somehow,
so there you go.
228
00:13:38,442 --> 00:13:40,152
I don't give a fuck
about interracial marriage.
229
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:42,655
In fact, you know what?
My mother is half white.
230
00:13:42,738 --> 00:13:44,532
-A lot of people don't know that.
-[woman screams]
231
00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:47,117
All right, you a little too excited,
but okay.
232
00:13:50,371 --> 00:13:52,748
A lot of people don't believe me
when I say that, but it's true.
233
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,251
You can't tell looking at me.
234
00:13:56,252 --> 00:13:57,920
But if I grew my hair out...
235
00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:02,174
you would think you was
at a fucking Katt Williams concert.
236
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:03,342
My shit is...
237
00:14:04,885 --> 00:14:06,136
My shit is beautiful.
238
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:10,474
But motherfuckers
are just taking it too far.
239
00:14:10,558 --> 00:14:15,145
I don't know why or how
everybody got this goddamn sensitive.
240
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:16,772
You know who hates me the most?
241
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,274
The transgender community.
242
00:14:19,567 --> 00:14:20,609
Yo, yeah, these motherfuck--
243
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:22,820
I mean, I didn't realize how bad it was.
244
00:14:22,903 --> 00:14:26,782
These motherfuckers was really mad
about that last Netflix special.
245
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:36,417
It's tough, man. I don't know
what to do about it 'cause...
246
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:37,918
'Cause I like them.
247
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:41,380
Always have.
Never had a problem with them.
248
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:42,673
You know.
249
00:14:43,507 --> 00:14:44,717
Just fucking around.
250
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:48,721
A matter fact, I think I make fun
of everybody.
251
00:14:49,513 --> 00:14:52,099
I mean, as a group of people,
they have to admit that...
252
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:55,686
it's kind of fucking hilarious, man.
253
00:14:55,769 --> 00:14:57,229
I'm sorry, bro. It's like...
254
00:14:58,022 --> 00:15:01,191
I've never seen somebody
in such a hilarious predicament
255
00:15:01,942 --> 00:15:04,028
not have a sense of humor about it.
256
00:15:04,820 --> 00:15:08,490
They're born feeling like they're
something other than they're born as,
257
00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:09,617
and that's...
258
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:13,245
That's kind of funny.
259
00:15:14,622 --> 00:15:16,874
I mean, it's funny
if it's not happening to you.
260
00:15:18,542 --> 00:15:21,337
It's like that white black bitch
that's in the news all the time.
261
00:15:23,631 --> 00:15:24,673
Rachel Dolezal.
262
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:28,594
She always says that.
She-- She-- She was--
263
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:31,889
She's a white woman, but then
she dressed up like a nigga and...
264
00:15:33,140 --> 00:15:36,602
shot her way up
to the very top of blackness.
265
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:42,775
And I always wanted to meet her
just so I can understand.
266
00:15:42,858 --> 00:15:46,111
I just wanted to have dinner with her,
so I can just look in her eyes...
267
00:15:47,196 --> 00:15:49,448
and call her a nigga to her face.
268
00:15:52,910 --> 00:15:55,579
What the fuck is that bitch talking about?
"I identify as black."
269
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:58,666
That is trans-talk, lady. Stop biting.
270
00:15:58,832 --> 00:16:00,209
Stop biting.
271
00:16:02,252 --> 00:16:03,712
There's a big difference
between her and a trans.
272
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:07,049
The difference between her and a trans
is I believe transgenders.
273
00:16:07,132 --> 00:16:11,428
I don't understand them either,
but I know they mean what they say.
274
00:16:13,263 --> 00:16:15,099
Them niggas cut they dicks off.
275
00:16:16,183 --> 00:16:17,851
That's all the proof I need.
276
00:16:19,019 --> 00:16:20,688
Never seen somebody
just throw their dick away.
277
00:16:20,771 --> 00:16:21,605
Don't need it.
278
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:29,780
I don't understand, but I believe you,
279
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:32,032
and I support your decision, motherfucker.
280
00:16:33,617 --> 00:16:36,745
But how far is Rachel willing to go? Hmm?
281
00:16:38,038 --> 00:16:41,291
What is Rachel willing to do
so that we blacks can believe
282
00:16:41,375 --> 00:16:44,545
that she believes
she's actually one of us?
283
00:16:47,089 --> 00:16:49,758
Bitch, are you willing to put a lien
on your house?
284
00:16:52,302 --> 00:16:55,222
So that you can invest in a mix tape
that probably won't work out.
285
00:17:03,230 --> 00:17:04,773
She didn't even change her name.
286
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:08,235
Didn't even change her name.
287
00:17:08,318 --> 00:17:10,029
Her name is Rachel.
288
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:11,864
I can't believe in that name.
289
00:17:13,657 --> 00:17:14,700
You want my support,
290
00:17:14,783 --> 00:17:18,328
you gonna have to change your name
to the blackest shit I've ever heard.
291
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:23,375
Bitch, you gonna have to change your name
to Draymond Green.
292
00:17:27,254 --> 00:17:29,173
I don't know a blacker name than that.
293
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:31,717
That shit is black on paper.
294
00:17:33,302 --> 00:17:36,513
If you type "Draymond Green"
in the Airbnb...
295
00:17:37,931 --> 00:17:40,100
that shit will log off automatic.
296
00:17:50,778 --> 00:17:51,987
People get mad, bro.
297
00:17:53,113 --> 00:17:54,990
People get mad about everything I say.
298
00:17:55,824 --> 00:17:58,744
I was doing a show.
I was in Portland, Oregon.
299
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:02,122
And I was checked in a hotel
300
00:18:02,206 --> 00:18:04,541
under the name Charles Edward Cheese.
301
00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:15,469
I came back to my room late at night...
302
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:22,101
and there was a note.
It was like a letter on my desk.
303
00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:24,144
It was addressed to "Mr. Cheese."
304
00:18:24,228 --> 00:18:26,313
So, obviously, I'm gonna assume
305
00:18:26,396 --> 00:18:28,565
that whoever wrote this letter
must be an intimate friend.
306
00:18:28,649 --> 00:18:31,110
This is not some kind of name
that a person would just guess.
307
00:18:31,193 --> 00:18:32,402
But then I open the letter,
308
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:35,030
and it turns out
I don't know this person at all.
309
00:18:35,614 --> 00:18:36,698
It's a fan letter.
310
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:39,910
I'm not even used to the idea
that I have fans,
311
00:18:39,993 --> 00:18:41,328
but I'm grateful for it.
312
00:18:41,411 --> 00:18:42,246
And...
313
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:45,999
And even though
I'm grateful for fans, I...
314
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:48,544
I don't read those letters.
315
00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:54,174
Be nice if I did,
but realistically, it's like,
316
00:18:54,258 --> 00:18:56,677
"What am I, Santa Claus, nigga?
I don't have time for this.
317
00:18:57,594 --> 00:18:59,680
Got shit I wanna do. I'm trying to chill."
318
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:02,182
Read all these dreams and wishes
from strangers.
319
00:19:02,266 --> 00:19:03,767
But then-- But I read it.
320
00:19:03,851 --> 00:19:06,311
I'd already opened it,
so I just read the whole letter.
321
00:19:06,395 --> 00:19:07,771
And you know what, man?
322
00:19:08,188 --> 00:19:11,400
Whoever wrote this letter truly loves me.
323
00:19:12,526 --> 00:19:14,653
I mean, they were really fucking nice
in the letter.
324
00:19:14,736 --> 00:19:18,115
And then they described to me
what it was like to come to the show.
325
00:19:18,198 --> 00:19:20,951
How excited they were
and how much fun they were having.
326
00:19:21,743 --> 00:19:22,995
And then they said...
327
00:19:23,745 --> 00:19:26,498
that when I got to my jokes
about transgenders...
328
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,250
that they were quote,
329
00:19:29,459 --> 00:19:30,711
"devastated."
330
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,799
'Cause turns out that whoever wrote
the letter was transgender.
331
00:19:36,258 --> 00:19:37,885
I'm gonna be real for a second.
332
00:19:38,927 --> 00:19:41,638
As a policy, you gotta understand,
333
00:19:41,722 --> 00:19:45,350
I never feel bad about
anything I say up here.
334
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:58,197
And I would never admit this to you
if I hadn't locked your phones up.
335
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:05,829
But it was the weirdest thing,
like when I read this letter...
336
00:20:06,997 --> 00:20:08,916
the shit made me feel bad.
337
00:20:08,999 --> 00:20:11,251
I didn't feel bad about what I said,
you understand.
338
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:15,505
I felt bad that I made
somebody else feel bad.
339
00:20:15,881 --> 00:20:18,800
To be honest, I don't even know
what I said that upset that person.
340
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:21,178
I have so many transgender jokes.
341
00:20:24,806 --> 00:20:26,308
[laughs]
342
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:28,518
But I feel like...
343
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:31,104
I feel like it was probably...
344
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:34,233
this joke I'm about to tell you right now.
345
00:20:35,275 --> 00:20:36,193
Sorry.
346
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:39,196
And it's not even that bad of a joke.
347
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:41,782
It's a true joke.
I mean, it's not true, but I--
348
00:20:41,865 --> 00:20:43,325
I had read in the paper
349
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:46,203
that Caitlyn Jenner
was contemplating posing nude
350
00:20:46,286 --> 00:20:48,914
in an upcoming issue
of Sports Illustrated.
351
00:20:49,122 --> 00:20:53,835
And I know it's not politically correct
to say these things,
352
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:57,339
so I just figured, ""Fuck it,
I'll say it for everybody else.
353
00:20:58,215 --> 00:20:59,174
Yuck."
354
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:08,016
You know, sometimes,
I just want to read some stats.
355
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:11,436
I don't know why you gonna cram
some man pussy
356
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,730
in the middle of the sports page lines.
357
00:21:14,564 --> 00:21:16,233
I just didn't think
that was the place for it.
358
00:21:16,316 --> 00:21:19,194
But I wasn't saying anything like
Caitlyn Jenner's a bad person.
359
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:22,239
I'm not mad at her.
I'm not even mad at Sports Illustrated.
360
00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:23,991
If I'm mad at somebody...
361
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:27,119
I'm probably just mad at myself.
362
00:21:27,411 --> 00:21:28,370
You understand?
363
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:33,250
'Cause deep down,
I know that I am not strong enough...
364
00:21:34,459 --> 00:21:36,461
to not look at those pictures.
365
00:21:41,883 --> 00:21:44,469
And I don't think I'm ready to see
what she's trying to show.
366
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,472
So, Caitlyn...
367
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,934
goddamn it, if you go through
with this thing...
368
00:21:53,061 --> 00:21:55,272
bitch, you better go hard or go home.
369
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:58,984
I want you to go all the way.
370
00:21:59,234 --> 00:22:01,945
Hustler style. Do you know what
Hustler style means, miss?
371
00:22:02,029 --> 00:22:04,406
That means spread the lips...
372
00:22:14,958 --> 00:22:17,544
I hope she spreads the lips
and there's an itty-bitty dick inside.
373
00:22:20,964 --> 00:22:23,508
The show is behind the curtains.
374
00:22:35,228 --> 00:22:37,272
I don't know what I said
that upset that person.
375
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:39,983
But I'm gonna tell you something.
376
00:22:40,817 --> 00:22:42,069
When I read that letter...
377
00:22:42,652 --> 00:22:44,237
in the moments after I read it,
378
00:22:44,321 --> 00:22:48,533
I did something that many black men
in America
379
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:51,661
do not have the time or the money to do.
380
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:54,956
I thought about how I felt.
381
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:01,505
Asked myself a very basic question
382
00:23:01,588 --> 00:23:03,465
that I don't think
I ever directly contemplated.
383
00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:06,093
I said, "Man, Dave,
if you're writing all these jokes,
384
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:10,180
do you have a problem
with transgender people?"
385
00:23:10,263 --> 00:23:14,643
And the answer is absolutely not.
386
00:23:14,726 --> 00:23:16,728
The fuck you guys think I am?
387
00:23:16,812 --> 00:23:20,273
I don't understand all the choices
that people make.
388
00:23:20,732 --> 00:23:22,901
But I do understand that life is hard,
389
00:23:22,984 --> 00:23:25,987
and that those types of choices
do not disqualify you
390
00:23:26,071 --> 00:23:29,491
from a life with dignity and happiness
and safety in it.
391
00:23:38,667 --> 00:23:39,918
But if I'm honest...
392
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:48,844
my problem has never been
with transgender people.
393
00:23:48,927 --> 00:23:50,762
My problem has always been
394
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:54,057
with the dialogue
about transgender people.
395
00:23:54,141 --> 00:23:57,811
I just feel like these things
should not be discussed
396
00:23:57,894 --> 00:23:59,729
in front of the blacks.
397
00:24:02,649 --> 00:24:03,942
It's fucking insulting,
398
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:06,903
all this talk about
how these people feel inside.
399
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:13,076
Since when has America given a fuck
how any of us feel inside?
400
00:24:18,123 --> 00:24:22,043
And I cannot shake this awful suspicion
401
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:26,214
that the only reason
everybody is talking about transgenders
402
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:29,384
is because white men want to do it.
403
00:24:29,801 --> 00:24:30,635
That's right.
404
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:32,220
I just said that.
405
00:24:34,097 --> 00:24:36,433
If it was just women that felt that way
406
00:24:36,516 --> 00:24:38,393
or black dudes and Mexican dudes
being like,
407
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:40,187
"Hey, ya'll, we feel like girls inside."
408
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:43,148
They'd be like, "Shut up, nigger.
No one asked you how you felt.
409
00:24:43,648 --> 00:24:45,817
Come on, everybody,
we have strawberries to pick."
410
00:24:47,903 --> 00:24:49,696
It reeks of white privilege.
411
00:24:50,322 --> 00:24:54,159
You never asked yourself why it was easier
for Bruce Jenner to change his gender
412
00:24:54,242 --> 00:24:57,996
than it was for Cassius Clay
to change his fucking name?
413
00:25:05,378 --> 00:25:07,297
And if I were to be brutally honest...
414
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:09,341
[man] Go, Dave.
415
00:25:09,424 --> 00:25:12,802
...the only reason I ever have been mad
at the transgender community,
416
00:25:12,886 --> 00:25:15,096
is because I was at a club in LA
417
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:19,017
and danced with one of these niggas
for six songs straight.
418
00:25:20,769 --> 00:25:22,229
I had no idea.
419
00:25:24,022 --> 00:25:25,941
Then the lights came up
and I saw them knuckles.
420
00:25:26,024 --> 00:25:28,193
I said, "Oh, no!"
421
00:25:28,944 --> 00:25:30,987
And everybody was laughing at me.
422
00:25:31,947 --> 00:25:32,989
WorldStar.
423
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:40,121
I said, "Why didn't you say anything?"
424
00:25:41,581 --> 00:25:43,166
Then I heard that sultry voice.
425
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,711
"I didn't say anything, Dave Chappelle,
426
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:49,506
because I was having a wonderful time.
427
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,385
And I wasn't sure
how you'd feel about it."
428
00:25:55,095 --> 00:25:57,055
I said, "You knew how I'd feel."
429
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:03,603
And she said, "I'm going home.
I don't want any trouble from you."
430
00:26:04,437 --> 00:26:06,982
I said, "Home? It's only two songs left.
431
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:08,984
I mean, we might as well...
432
00:26:10,443 --> 00:26:11,528
finish the night."
433
00:26:15,907 --> 00:26:17,784
And we ended up having breakfast together.
434
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:21,663
Oh, grow up. That doesn't make me gay.
435
00:26:22,539 --> 00:26:23,957
I just titty-fuck them.
436
00:26:26,543 --> 00:26:28,878
Those titties are as real
as any titties in LA.
437
00:26:29,337 --> 00:26:30,338
It was two o'clock in the morning.
438
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:34,092
I was just borrowing a little friction
from a stranger. Whoops!
439
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:46,313
It's the madness of youth.
440
00:26:47,105 --> 00:26:49,357
It's the types of mistakes a man makes
when he's young.
441
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:51,484
I wouldn't even know
that it's necessarily a mistake.
442
00:26:51,568 --> 00:26:52,986
It was a wild night out.
443
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:57,991
But I don't do it like that anymore.
I'm old. I'm 44 now.
444
00:26:58,867 --> 00:26:59,701
Right.
445
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:07,375
It's the first time in my life I've ever
started to physically feel my age.
446
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:09,169
You can-- It's tough, man.
447
00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:12,631
You know how I know I'm getting old?
This is embarrassing, but...
448
00:27:13,214 --> 00:27:14,633
I was in my hotel room.
449
00:27:16,217 --> 00:27:18,887
I was-- I'm not gonna lie,
I was jerking off.
450
00:27:19,846 --> 00:27:21,806
And I was really sweating it out.
451
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:26,227
And this is when I knew I was old.
452
00:27:26,728 --> 00:27:29,606
I just gave up in the middle
like nothing even happened.
453
00:27:38,490 --> 00:27:40,867
I don't like looking at my dick anymore.
454
00:27:41,743 --> 00:27:43,745
My dick looks distinguished.
455
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:46,247
It's old. An old-looking dick.
456
00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:49,709
It's got salt-and-pepper hair
all around it.
457
00:27:51,711 --> 00:27:54,506
My dick looks like Morgan Freeman
in the '90s.
458
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:58,009
Without the dots.
459
00:28:01,304 --> 00:28:02,263
My dick narrates,
460
00:28:02,847 --> 00:28:05,684
"Dave pulled me out
and started jerking me around.
461
00:28:05,767 --> 00:28:07,102
Jerking me around.
462
00:28:08,019 --> 00:28:10,939
But not with the same vigor
as when he was young.
463
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,984
He and I both knew
nothing was coming out."
464
00:28:21,449 --> 00:28:23,368
I see my age in my children.
465
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:27,789
I came home from the road,
this is not long ago.
466
00:28:27,872 --> 00:28:31,668
I'd been gone for-- If you picture,
I was gone for weeks and weeks,
467
00:28:31,751 --> 00:28:34,754
and when I came back, nobody was home.
468
00:28:36,756 --> 00:28:39,217
Not one person in my family thought that
469
00:28:39,801 --> 00:28:41,845
maybe I'd like to see them
when I got back.
470
00:28:42,762 --> 00:28:45,140
They knew when I was coming back,
but they just weren't...
471
00:28:45,223 --> 00:28:46,182
They just weren't home.
472
00:28:46,266 --> 00:28:48,893
And that shit was a wake-up call.
473
00:28:49,686 --> 00:28:51,438
You know, like, when my kids were little,
474
00:28:51,896 --> 00:28:53,648
and the tour bus would pull up
to the house,
475
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:55,942
these motherfuckers would spill out.
476
00:28:57,318 --> 00:29:00,155
"Dad is home. Hooray!"
477
00:29:00,238 --> 00:29:01,740
And they'd hug me and kiss me.
478
00:29:01,823 --> 00:29:04,826
And then, as the years went on,
they'd get less interested.
479
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:08,872
"Hey, everybody, look,
it's Mr. Promises back from the road."
480
00:29:14,252 --> 00:29:16,004
But an empty house, that's...
481
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,298
That's some cold shit.
482
00:29:20,383 --> 00:29:23,219
I went into my oldest son's room.
I was like, "Hello? Hello?"
483
00:29:23,303 --> 00:29:24,137
He was gone.
484
00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:26,723
I'd never done this to him before,
but for some reason, I just did it.
485
00:29:26,806 --> 00:29:29,225
I just... I just looked through his shit.
486
00:29:31,019 --> 00:29:33,938
Just to see who this motherfucker
was becoming.
487
00:29:35,398 --> 00:29:38,359
I found these notebooks, and I started
going through the notebooks,
488
00:29:38,443 --> 00:29:41,070
and it was all this wonderful poetry
in them.
489
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:42,530
It was his handwriting.
490
00:29:42,614 --> 00:29:45,366
I didn't even know this nigga wrote poems.
491
00:29:48,161 --> 00:29:51,539
Then I look through his drawers,
and I open up his middle drawer...
492
00:29:52,499 --> 00:29:54,334
and I found this rolling paper.
493
00:29:56,544 --> 00:29:59,255
And I looked down
at them papers, like, "Oh...
494
00:30:00,173 --> 00:30:02,258
that's where that poetry is coming from."
495
00:30:07,931 --> 00:30:09,682
And that shit broke my heart.
496
00:30:10,683 --> 00:30:13,937
I mean, I smoke weed,
but I mourned my son's innocence.
497
00:30:14,437 --> 00:30:15,855
And I cried a little bit...
498
00:30:16,564 --> 00:30:19,067
and I took his papers upstairs in my room.
499
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:23,154
Rolled some weed
that I'd hid from the family.
500
00:30:24,113 --> 00:30:25,740
And I got really high.
501
00:30:26,449 --> 00:30:27,992
And then I got paranoid...
502
00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:31,037
so I put his papers back
how I found them...
503
00:30:32,997 --> 00:30:34,999
so he wouldn't know what I was up to.
504
00:30:37,335 --> 00:30:40,421
This nigga won't even know that
that happened till he sees this special.
505
00:30:43,258 --> 00:30:45,260
Yeah, nigga, I found your papers.
506
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:49,806
He's a cold motherfucker.
507
00:30:49,889 --> 00:30:52,976
This kid is only 16 years old.
Listen to what he did to me.
508
00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:54,978
This motherfucker calls me up...
509
00:30:55,395 --> 00:30:57,981
in the middle of the night.
It was one o'clock in the morning.
510
00:30:58,064 --> 00:31:00,650
He goes, "Dad, don't be mad."
511
00:31:00,733 --> 00:31:03,319
I knew something was terribly wrong.
512
00:31:04,654 --> 00:31:07,323
I said, "What's going on?"
He said, "Listen, I'm fine.
513
00:31:07,407 --> 00:31:09,450
And don't forget you told me to do this.
514
00:31:10,451 --> 00:31:11,661
I'm at a party,
515
00:31:12,036 --> 00:31:15,373
and my designated driver
had too much to drink.
516
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:17,959
Me and my friends need you
to come pick us up."
517
00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:21,170
I said, "Jesus Christ.
It's one o'clock in the morning, nigga.
518
00:31:21,254 --> 00:31:23,006
I am shitfaced."
519
00:31:33,725 --> 00:31:37,145
But then I figured fuck,
it's better me than some kid.
520
00:31:39,230 --> 00:31:41,691
I might as well roll the dice
and go pick my nigga up.
521
00:31:41,774 --> 00:31:43,651
I said, "All right,
I'm coming to get you.
522
00:31:46,738 --> 00:31:48,907
Give me the address
and I'll be right there."
523
00:31:50,283 --> 00:31:52,535
And then he gave me the address,
and I was shocked.
524
00:31:52,619 --> 00:31:55,163
I said, "Son, you are not
gonna believe this, but...
525
00:31:56,623 --> 00:31:58,958
I'm at the same party, nigga."
526
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:12,138
They grow up fast, don't they?
527
00:32:13,306 --> 00:32:14,641
Can I ask you a weird question?
528
00:32:14,724 --> 00:32:16,059
I don't want
to make you feel uncomfortable.
529
00:32:16,142 --> 00:32:17,101
You don't have to answer it,
530
00:32:17,185 --> 00:32:19,771
and if it doesn't go well,
we'll just edit it out anyway.
531
00:32:21,147 --> 00:32:24,609
Is it weird to be the only white people
in a row?
532
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:31,157
I mean, you can be honest.
533
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,451
Does it feel strange?
Are you worried at all?
534
00:32:35,036 --> 00:32:37,372
Give me your money, motherfucker.
I'm just fucking with you.
535
00:32:39,165 --> 00:32:41,459
This guy's got ice in his veins.
He didn't even buckle.
536
00:32:44,337 --> 00:32:46,839
You know, like many black men my age,
537
00:32:46,923 --> 00:32:49,676
the first time I voted
was eight years ago.
538
00:32:54,305 --> 00:32:55,223
That's right.
539
00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:00,311
I saw Obama on T.V.
and said, "I'm voting for this nigga."
540
00:33:03,523 --> 00:33:05,525
I remember the day I voted for Obama.
541
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:07,026
I voted in Ohio.
542
00:33:07,443 --> 00:33:09,904
And my vote matters in Ohio.
543
00:33:10,363 --> 00:33:12,115
Ohio is a battleground state.
544
00:33:12,198 --> 00:33:15,660
But when I pulled up to the polls,
all of the soldiers were in line.
545
00:33:15,743 --> 00:33:17,954
There were so many black people
in that goddamn line,
546
00:33:18,037 --> 00:33:21,332
I didn't even know it was the polls.
I thought it was the check-cashing place.
547
00:33:25,795 --> 00:33:27,296
We were hugging each other,
548
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:30,883
and old people were singing hymns
and spirituals and shit.
549
00:33:31,134 --> 00:33:35,179
It was like the OJ verdict times ten
or some shit.
550
00:33:35,263 --> 00:33:37,348
I've never seen black people that happy.
551
00:33:41,144 --> 00:33:43,813
Eight years later,
I'm pulling up to the polls again.
552
00:33:44,564 --> 00:33:47,108
This time, I'm driving
a brand-new Porsche.
553
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:50,236
Because the Obama years
were very good to me.
554
00:33:58,286 --> 00:33:59,662
I was early voting...
555
00:34:00,246 --> 00:34:01,914
and when I parked my car,
556
00:34:01,998 --> 00:34:03,624
I figured out something
557
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:06,878
that it would take the rest of the country
another week to figure out.
558
00:34:07,462 --> 00:34:10,673
I understood that Donald Trump
was gonna be our next president.
559
00:34:10,757 --> 00:34:13,801
Because in Ohio, unlike DC,
560
00:34:13,885 --> 00:34:16,554
you could see the results
in the parking lot.
561
00:34:17,263 --> 00:34:21,017
All these goddamn pickup trucks
and tractors and shit.
562
00:34:30,526 --> 00:34:35,656
And then I walked up,
and I saw a long, long line...
563
00:34:36,949 --> 00:34:38,451
of dusty white people.
564
00:34:43,873 --> 00:34:46,626
Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
these were the poor whites.
565
00:34:47,835 --> 00:34:51,964
I must tell you, I've never had a problem
with white people ever in my life,
566
00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:53,674
but full disclosure...
567
00:34:55,551 --> 00:34:57,929
the poor whites are my least favorites.
568
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:03,142
We've got a lot of trouble out of them.
569
00:35:05,645 --> 00:35:08,314
And I've never seen
so many of them up close.
570
00:35:09,774 --> 00:35:12,610
I looked them right
in their coal-smeared faces.
571
00:35:16,489 --> 00:35:17,990
And to my surprise...
572
00:35:18,866 --> 00:35:20,493
you know what I didn't see?
573
00:35:21,035 --> 00:35:25,957
I didn't see one deplorable face
in that group.
574
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:29,210
Saw some angry faces
and some determined faces,
575
00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:32,046
but they felt like decent folk.
576
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:36,175
No, they did. In fact, I'm not even lying,
and not to sound fucked up,
577
00:35:36,259 --> 00:35:37,802
but I felt sorry for them.
578
00:35:38,219 --> 00:35:39,554
I know the game there.
579
00:35:40,012 --> 00:35:42,306
I know that rich white people
580
00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:44,517
call poor white people trash.
581
00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:46,853
And the only reason I know that
582
00:35:46,936 --> 00:35:49,313
is because I made
so much money last year,
583
00:35:49,939 --> 00:35:53,359
the rich whites told me they say it
at a cocktail party.
584
00:35:57,905 --> 00:35:59,532
And I'm not with that shit.
585
00:36:00,283 --> 00:36:01,409
I stood with them in line,
586
00:36:01,492 --> 00:36:04,162
like all of us Americans are required
to do in a democracy,
587
00:36:04,245 --> 00:36:06,372
nobody skips the line to vote,
588
00:36:06,914 --> 00:36:08,332
and I listened to them.
589
00:36:08,541 --> 00:36:12,378
I listened to them say naive
poor white people things.
590
00:36:14,088 --> 00:36:17,091
"Man, Donald Trump's
gonna go to Washington,
591
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:19,510
and he's gonna fight for us."
592
00:36:20,511 --> 00:36:24,223
I'm standing there thinking in my mind,
"You dumb motherfucker.
593
00:36:30,104 --> 00:36:32,231
You are poor.
594
00:36:33,649 --> 00:36:35,109
He's fighting for me."
595
00:36:48,414 --> 00:36:50,958
And they all looked at me.
They could tell who I was voting for,
596
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:53,461
just as easily as I could tell
who they were voting for.
597
00:36:53,544 --> 00:36:56,130
But do you guys know
what we all had in common?
598
00:36:56,923 --> 00:36:59,634
Not one of us, not a single one of us,
599
00:36:59,842 --> 00:37:03,262
looked like we felt good about
what we had to do in that booth.
600
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:05,973
We were just doing our goddamn duty.
601
00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:08,893
Yes, I voted for Hillary Clinton,
of course I did.
602
00:37:11,479 --> 00:37:15,233
I voted for her
because I liked what she said
603
00:37:15,524 --> 00:37:18,986
vastly better than I liked what he said.
604
00:37:21,697 --> 00:37:23,574
To be honest with you, at that point,
605
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:27,453
that shit was like watching Darth Vader
do the "I Have a Dream" speech.
606
00:37:29,538 --> 00:37:30,706
That bitch is mean as hell.
607
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:34,126
She'd already Karate Kid swept
Bernie Sanders legs from underneath him.
608
00:37:34,210 --> 00:37:36,545
Boy, it was hard voting for that shit.
609
00:37:37,838 --> 00:37:39,465
But it was the lesser of the evils.
610
00:37:39,548 --> 00:37:42,802
I know you were a Clinton supporter, miss.
I am sorry to say like that.
611
00:37:42,885 --> 00:37:45,388
It didn't feel bad voting for her,
612
00:37:45,471 --> 00:37:48,015
but it didn't feel as good
as it should've.
613
00:37:48,391 --> 00:37:50,559
She was gonna be
our first woman president.
614
00:37:50,643 --> 00:37:52,895
They were gonna make coins out
of this bitch.
615
00:37:59,694 --> 00:38:02,238
And somehow, she just missed the dunk.
616
00:38:03,739 --> 00:38:06,242
Of course she should've beat him.
617
00:38:06,325 --> 00:38:07,868
You know what voting for her felt like?
618
00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:09,954
It was bittersweet. It felt like
619
00:38:10,538 --> 00:38:14,208
I was lucky enough
to eat Halle Berry's pussy.
620
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,796
And whilst I was doing so,
621
00:38:19,088 --> 00:38:21,757
she fucking farted in my face, man.
622
00:38:30,808 --> 00:38:32,977
Now you understand, I'd still do it.
623
00:38:35,354 --> 00:38:38,774
But, boy, I wish she didn't fart
in this great nation's face.
624
00:38:43,029 --> 00:38:46,490
I voted that day, and then that same day
I flew to New York City.
625
00:38:47,158 --> 00:38:48,284
I had work.
626
00:38:48,868 --> 00:38:50,703
That night, I was in a comedy club
in New York,
627
00:38:50,786 --> 00:38:55,291
and I said to an audience
almost exactly what I just said to you.
628
00:38:55,833 --> 00:38:58,252
And I didn't know that
there was a journalist in the room.
629
00:38:58,336 --> 00:39:01,047
And this journalist wrote an article.
630
00:39:01,130 --> 00:39:02,673
The headline of the article said,
631
00:39:02,757 --> 00:39:08,262
"Dave Chappelle is an avid
Donald Trump supporter."
632
00:39:09,555 --> 00:39:12,683
Yeah. I had no idea the paper said that.
633
00:39:12,767 --> 00:39:14,143
You know how I found out?
634
00:39:14,226 --> 00:39:16,896
My wife called me from Ohio
the next morning
635
00:39:16,979 --> 00:39:18,356
in a goddamn panic.
636
00:39:19,065 --> 00:39:21,776
"David. David, what the fuck...
637
00:39:22,943 --> 00:39:24,737
is going on in New York?"
638
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,241
I said, "I've been good,
but what have you heard?"
639
00:39:36,707 --> 00:39:40,711
My wife said, "The paper is saying
that you're a Donald Trump supporter."
640
00:39:40,795 --> 00:39:42,505
I was like... [sighs]
641
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:50,221
I said,
"Don't worry about that shit, baby.
642
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:53,891
Nobody in their right mind
would believe that."
643
00:39:53,974 --> 00:39:57,103
And she said,
"No, David, people believe it."
644
00:39:57,186 --> 00:40:00,022
And then she started reading
the comments to me.
645
00:40:00,481 --> 00:40:01,857
Oh, they were terrible.
646
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,779
All these black people calling me
all kinds of Uncle Toms and shit.
647
00:40:07,988 --> 00:40:12,159
I should tell you, this is a very serious
allegation from one black to another.
648
00:40:15,621 --> 00:40:18,666
I was incensed. Uncle Tom?
649
00:40:20,126 --> 00:40:21,544
How am I Uncle Tom, nigga?
650
00:40:21,627 --> 00:40:24,255
You the one that reads the Observer.
651
00:40:27,049 --> 00:40:29,468
Anyway, all this shit goes down.
652
00:40:30,845 --> 00:40:33,472
And Saturday night rolls around,
653
00:40:33,556 --> 00:40:35,307
and now Trump is the president,
654
00:40:35,391 --> 00:40:37,518
and I'm hosting Saturday Night Live.
655
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:46,652
And I didn't really prepare my monologue.
656
00:40:46,735 --> 00:40:47,987
I just kind of winged it.
657
00:40:49,155 --> 00:40:51,323
At the end of the monologue,
I don't even remember what I said.
658
00:40:51,407 --> 00:40:52,741
I said something like, "Fuck it.
659
00:40:52,825 --> 00:40:55,786
We're historically disenfranchised,
and we're gonna give him--"
660
00:40:55,870 --> 00:40:57,746
Something about, "We're gonna give him
a chance if he gives us a chance."
661
00:40:57,830 --> 00:41:00,416
I don't know what I said,
but whatever I said,
662
00:41:00,499 --> 00:41:02,835
I really wish I didn't say that shit.
663
00:41:05,713 --> 00:41:07,423
It was not worth the trouble.
664
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:10,718
Walking to the barbershop and all them
black people be looking at me like,
665
00:41:10,801 --> 00:41:13,429
"Yo, Dave, what's up with your boy?"
666
00:41:13,512 --> 00:41:15,723
Yo, nigga, yo!
667
00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:19,685
He's not my boy.
668
00:41:21,562 --> 00:41:24,940
'Cause I don't care if you're Republican
or Democrat, if you support him or not,
669
00:41:25,024 --> 00:41:27,818
any objective person
is gonna have to admit
670
00:41:27,902 --> 00:41:31,447
that this motherfucker
is having a terrible go of it.
671
00:41:35,868 --> 00:41:37,036
He really is.
672
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:43,334
We've had presidents before
that have done bad jobs,
673
00:41:43,417 --> 00:41:45,878
but this shit is worse than a bad job.
674
00:41:46,378 --> 00:41:48,672
It's scary to watch.
675
00:41:49,465 --> 00:41:50,299
Holy shit.
676
00:41:50,382 --> 00:41:54,386
It's like seeing a crack pipe
in your Uber driver's passenger seat.
677
00:41:59,391 --> 00:42:01,602
What the fuck is wrong with this guy?
678
00:42:02,561 --> 00:42:05,981
Yo, he is lunching, nigga. I watched...
679
00:42:06,982 --> 00:42:10,945
I watched Donald Trump
in a press conference.
680
00:42:11,028 --> 00:42:13,489
And this motherfucker
had all the media gathered,
681
00:42:13,572 --> 00:42:15,282
and this nigga literally,
682
00:42:15,699 --> 00:42:18,786
literally asked the media to their face
683
00:42:18,869 --> 00:42:20,496
to stop finding shit out.
684
00:42:20,579 --> 00:42:21,830
I was like, "Yo.
685
00:42:23,290 --> 00:42:25,960
Yo, this motherfucker is bugging."
686
00:42:26,544 --> 00:42:28,921
And then... I'm not even making this up.
687
00:42:29,255 --> 00:42:31,507
His lips started sweating.
688
00:42:32,967 --> 00:42:38,347
His lips. Have you ever seen
a motherfucker's lips sweat?
689
00:42:39,723 --> 00:42:41,892
What the fuck is wrong
with this nigga's lips?
690
00:42:42,935 --> 00:42:45,813
It's like if you're on a plane, right?
You ever been on a plane...
691
00:42:45,896 --> 00:42:49,149
I get scared to fly. I do it all the time.
I'll be scared on there.
692
00:42:49,233 --> 00:42:51,569
And sometimes a plane will hit turbulence.
693
00:42:51,652 --> 00:42:54,530
And then I get nervous, but I always
look at the flight attendant,
694
00:42:54,613 --> 00:42:57,866
and she looks calm,
and it makes me feel calm.
695
00:42:58,951 --> 00:43:01,745
But if that bitch's lips were sweating?
696
00:43:05,249 --> 00:43:07,960
It's terrifying. Like, "Yo, nigga,
why are your lips sweating?
697
00:43:08,043 --> 00:43:09,169
What do you know?"
698
00:43:11,505 --> 00:43:12,548
And then...
699
00:43:13,048 --> 00:43:16,135
I'm not making this up. This motherfucker
grabbed the podium, he goes,
700
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:22,099
"You don't know how scary
the things I read in my briefings are."
701
00:43:22,182 --> 00:43:25,853
And I was like, "Holy shit, man.
You ain't supposed to tell us that, bro."
702
00:43:27,855 --> 00:43:29,607
That's bad leadership.
703
00:43:30,649 --> 00:43:32,735
As a parent,
you think I'm gonna sit my kids down,
704
00:43:32,818 --> 00:43:35,821
"Hey, little man, come here real quick.
I'm gonna holler at you for a second.
705
00:43:35,904 --> 00:43:36,822
Yo...
706
00:43:39,867 --> 00:43:41,452
I'm three months behind
on the rent, nigga,
707
00:43:41,535 --> 00:43:44,538
and I am worried.
708
00:43:44,913 --> 00:43:45,998
Very worried.
709
00:43:47,750 --> 00:43:49,627
Go on, go to school
and have a productive day.
710
00:43:49,710 --> 00:43:52,838
I was just thinking out loud.
Getting some shit off my chest."
711
00:43:52,921 --> 00:43:55,633
I'm like,
"What the fuck are you doing, bro?"
712
00:43:58,135 --> 00:43:59,595
This is bad, man.
713
00:44:04,016 --> 00:44:05,976
Jesus Christ.
714
00:44:07,561 --> 00:44:12,024
All this motherfucker's ideas
sound like "high people" ideas.
715
00:44:13,108 --> 00:44:15,486
He doesn't think these things through
before he tells us.
716
00:44:15,569 --> 00:44:17,988
He tells us what he's thinking
as soon as it occurs to him.
717
00:44:18,072 --> 00:44:19,490
That shit sounds nuts.
718
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,993
"I'm gonna go to China,
719
00:44:23,202 --> 00:44:25,496
and I'm gonna get those jobs from China
720
00:44:25,579 --> 00:44:27,873
and bring them back here to America."
721
00:44:31,043 --> 00:44:34,546
For what, nigga?
So iPhones can be $9,000?
722
00:44:35,923 --> 00:44:38,592
Leave that job in China where it belongs.
723
00:44:38,676 --> 00:44:40,761
None of us want to work that hard.
724
00:44:42,805 --> 00:44:44,306
What the fuck is he thinking?
725
00:44:47,643 --> 00:44:50,104
I want to wear Nikes.
I don't want to make them shits.
726
00:44:50,187 --> 00:44:51,730
What the fuck are you doing?
727
00:44:54,316 --> 00:44:57,695
Stop trying to give us Chinese jobs.
728
00:45:00,531 --> 00:45:03,867
"I am going to bring back coal."
729
00:45:03,951 --> 00:45:05,536
Coal?!
730
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:09,289
I'm not even exaggerating...
731
00:45:09,498 --> 00:45:15,379
I have never in my life
even seen a fucking lump of coal.
732
00:45:17,131 --> 00:45:20,259
I honestly don't even know
what coal is for.
733
00:45:22,886 --> 00:45:25,931
If you gonna have motherfuckers digging
in the dirt looking for shit,
734
00:45:26,515 --> 00:45:29,059
find me some truffles, nigga.
That's what I'm about.
735
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:33,605
At least truffle prices
are getting out of control.
736
00:45:34,898 --> 00:45:35,816
If it gets any worse,
737
00:45:35,899 --> 00:45:38,944
I'm gonna be back down
to regular butter like everybody else.
738
00:45:43,323 --> 00:45:44,867
Terrible, terrible job.
739
00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:50,622
This motherfucker hit North Korea
with rap battle threats.
740
00:45:50,706 --> 00:45:51,957
"Fire and Fury."
741
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,336
Like, "Yo! Yo, what you doing?"
742
00:46:01,425 --> 00:46:03,260
This is fucking Korea, man.
743
00:46:04,386 --> 00:46:06,680
Kim Jong-un is a scary motherfucker.
744
00:46:06,764 --> 00:46:09,224
He might be as crazy as Trump.
745
00:46:12,936 --> 00:46:14,188
Some scary shit.
746
00:46:14,980 --> 00:46:17,232
And if you one of them
naive motherfuckers that thinks
747
00:46:17,316 --> 00:46:19,443
that a war with Korea is gonna be easy,
748
00:46:19,526 --> 00:46:23,697
then you don't play Call of Duty
at three a.m. like I do.
749
00:46:24,615 --> 00:46:26,408
'Cause that's when the Koreans play.
750
00:46:27,701 --> 00:46:28,994
Fucking eight-year-old Korean kid
751
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,455
took out my whole
goddamn platoon last night.
752
00:46:40,881 --> 00:46:43,300
I've never seen somebody
in an office so high
753
00:46:43,383 --> 00:46:46,053
with the most just basic
fucking solutions.
754
00:46:46,136 --> 00:46:47,137
Like, you know...
755
00:46:47,638 --> 00:46:50,557
"We should not let any more Muslims
in the country
756
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:52,768
till we can figure out what's going on."
757
00:46:52,851 --> 00:46:56,563
Did he just say,
"Figure out what's going on"?
758
00:46:57,689 --> 00:47:00,234
Who doesn't know how to do basic math?
759
00:47:00,317 --> 00:47:02,027
Let's count it out, okay?
760
00:47:02,110 --> 00:47:05,030
It's been 17 mass shootings
in the United States.
761
00:47:05,197 --> 00:47:07,241
Four of them were done by Muslims.
762
00:47:07,324 --> 00:47:09,952
None of those four Muslims were
from any of the seven countries
763
00:47:10,035 --> 00:47:12,287
in your stupid-ass original ban.
764
00:47:19,503 --> 00:47:23,006
And since he brought it up,
the other 13 shootings
765
00:47:23,423 --> 00:47:25,592
were done by the tiki-torch whites.
766
00:47:28,887 --> 00:47:29,972
These are facts.
767
00:47:30,681 --> 00:47:33,475
You don't see me trying to ban
white people from the show
768
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:35,811
to keep the rest of the audience safe.
769
00:47:36,895 --> 00:47:40,399
It's a fucking terrible idea,
because it's mean and it's racist.
770
00:47:40,482 --> 00:47:41,984
And most importantly...
771
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:45,863
it would be catastrophic
to my bottom line.
772
00:47:49,575 --> 00:47:51,034
If there were no white people
here tonight,
773
00:47:51,118 --> 00:47:53,871
I might leave this bitch with $1,800.
774
00:47:56,039 --> 00:47:58,041
This man needs to realize
775
00:47:58,125 --> 00:47:59,960
that we all need each other.
776
00:48:00,252 --> 00:48:04,673
And that's why we will never, ever be able
to beat China.
777
00:48:04,756 --> 00:48:07,009
Because everybody in America is racist,
778
00:48:07,092 --> 00:48:09,428
and everybody in China is Chinese.
779
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,642
This motherfucker called it all wrong.
780
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:19,062
And don't believe the media either,
'cause as all this shit is happening,
781
00:48:19,146 --> 00:48:21,356
the media is trying to make us believe
782
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,651
that the extremities amongst us
are the norms.
783
00:48:24,735 --> 00:48:27,112
We can disagree, that's fine.
784
00:48:27,362 --> 00:48:30,699
And most of us are keeping a cool head
about this shit.
785
00:48:30,991 --> 00:48:31,825
You know what I mean?
786
00:48:31,909 --> 00:48:35,120
Americans generally
respect one another's beliefs,
787
00:48:35,203 --> 00:48:36,830
even if they don't share those beliefs.
788
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:39,833
I know I do.
I respect everybody's beliefs,
789
00:48:39,917 --> 00:48:41,501
except Amish people.
790
00:48:43,962 --> 00:48:46,673
'Cause they are the only ones
that I can say clearly,
791
00:48:46,757 --> 00:48:48,050
"Their God is wrong."
792
00:48:51,178 --> 00:48:55,933
Speed limit is 75 miles an hour in Ohio,
793
00:48:56,016 --> 00:49:01,688
and one lane of traffic is blocked
by a goddamn horse and buggy.
794
00:49:03,023 --> 00:49:04,816
Nigga, your God is ridiculous.
795
00:49:09,279 --> 00:49:11,782
All the Amish people around my way
know me, too.
796
00:49:11,865 --> 00:49:13,992
Not from television, obviously.
797
00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:18,872
They know me from the streets.
798
00:49:20,248 --> 00:49:23,835
'Cause when I see them horse and buggies,
I pull the Porsche over and talk to 'em.
799
00:49:23,919 --> 00:49:25,796
[imitates brakes screeching]
800
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:27,798
"Ezekiel.
801
00:49:29,883 --> 00:49:31,551
Ezekiel, are you sure
802
00:49:31,635 --> 00:49:34,972
that God doesn't want you to have any
of this technology or this energy?
803
00:49:35,681 --> 00:49:36,682
Huh?
804
00:49:37,140 --> 00:49:38,016
Hmm?
805
00:49:39,184 --> 00:49:40,102
Huh?
806
00:49:40,352 --> 00:49:42,479
I can't hear you.
Let me turn this air conditioner off.
807
00:49:42,562 --> 00:49:43,814
What did you say?"
808
00:49:47,985 --> 00:49:50,320
And them niggas be like,
"Get away from me, ye.
809
00:49:51,321 --> 00:49:55,200
Ye tried to tempt me like the devil."
810
00:49:55,826 --> 00:49:56,702
"Devil?
811
00:49:57,285 --> 00:50:00,455
Nah, bro. I'm trying to put you
onto the game, Zeke.
812
00:50:01,540 --> 00:50:05,794
It's a big world out here, nigga.
I just went 25 miles in 30 minutes.
813
00:50:06,586 --> 00:50:08,296
That's a day's journey for you.
814
00:50:11,675 --> 00:50:14,219
You don't even know what the weather's
gonna be tomorrow, do you?
815
00:50:16,138 --> 00:50:16,972
I do.
816
00:50:18,765 --> 00:50:22,853
You don't even know that there's
a valuable Pokémon on your shoulder.
817
00:50:22,936 --> 00:50:24,229
[imitates game beep] Ta-ta."
818
00:50:24,730 --> 00:50:26,106
And then I drive away.
819
00:50:27,941 --> 00:50:30,152
-[men and women shouting]
-Huh?
820
00:50:31,486 --> 00:50:33,655
-Oh, my vape pen?
-[man] Yeah, I want to hit it.
821
00:50:33,739 --> 00:50:35,365
You want to hit my vape pen?
822
00:50:35,949 --> 00:50:39,244
Oh, sorry, nigga,
I'm trying not to get herpes. My bad.
823
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,543
I've been playing cat-and-mouse
with herpes for 30 years now, but...
824
00:50:47,127 --> 00:50:50,047
Every night, I go to the club,
I be like, "Not tonight, herpes."
825
00:50:53,550 --> 00:50:55,677
No disrespect.
I'm not saying you have herpes.
826
00:50:55,761 --> 00:50:59,556
I'm just saying one out of five people do,
so let's just...
827
00:51:00,182 --> 00:51:03,226
Let's just all be careful around
this motherfucker and make sure that...
828
00:51:03,769 --> 00:51:05,896
we leave with the lips we came with.
829
00:51:14,654 --> 00:51:17,616
Sometimes I think that the media is hard
on Trump.
830
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,661
'Cause I'll see shit that they get on him
about that doesn't seem bad to me.
831
00:51:22,287 --> 00:51:23,955
Nigga got into trouble about
832
00:51:24,498 --> 00:51:26,500
not staying in the White House enough.
833
00:51:26,583 --> 00:51:28,794
Who gives a fuck?
This motherfucker was rich.
834
00:51:29,628 --> 00:51:31,463
He used to shit in a gold toilet.
835
00:51:32,964 --> 00:51:35,133
It's true. I don't know if you've ever
been to the White House.
836
00:51:35,217 --> 00:51:37,385
It looks like a very nice place
to work, but...
837
00:51:38,053 --> 00:51:40,180
I wouldn't want to live in that
Scooby-Doo-ass house either.
838
00:51:40,263 --> 00:51:43,350
That shit is... terrifying looking.
839
00:51:44,601 --> 00:51:46,228
Imagine you trying to jerk off
in the crib,
840
00:51:46,311 --> 00:51:48,230
and Abraham Lincoln's just looking
at you like...
841
00:51:57,155 --> 00:51:59,366
Shit, Bush didn't stay there, either.
He was rich, too.
842
00:51:59,449 --> 00:52:01,868
He was like, "Fuck that.
I'm going to my ranch in Texas."
843
00:52:02,410 --> 00:52:05,247
Obama was the first motherfucker
to move into the White House like,
844
00:52:05,330 --> 00:52:06,748
"This is a nice place.
845
00:52:08,458 --> 00:52:09,543
Look at this rug."
846
00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:23,473
The media got on him about
putting Jared Kushner in his cabinet,
847
00:52:23,557 --> 00:52:25,517
and I didn't think that
that was the worst thing he'd done.
848
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:26,977
I mean, it was still early.
849
00:52:27,727 --> 00:52:28,770
It's not unprecedented.
850
00:52:28,854 --> 00:52:31,857
Kennedy had his brother
as attorney general, right?
851
00:52:32,149 --> 00:52:33,942
This motherfucker's a Washington outsider.
852
00:52:34,025 --> 00:52:36,236
To be honest with you,
I'd probably do the same thing.
853
00:52:36,862 --> 00:52:38,280
As a matter of fact, I do.
854
00:52:38,905 --> 00:52:43,076
You think I go to a Hollywood meeting
with all them white folks by myself?
855
00:52:44,536 --> 00:52:47,247
I bring my nigga Mac Mittens
from the streets.
856
00:52:48,623 --> 00:52:49,916
I don't even know his real name.
857
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,210
Everybody just calls him Mac Mittens.
858
00:52:53,170 --> 00:52:56,548
But I know he's not qualified
to even listen to these meetings,
859
00:52:56,631 --> 00:53:00,135
but this motherfucker
just makes me feel good.
860
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:01,803
And all the white people look at me like,
861
00:53:01,887 --> 00:53:04,181
"Dave, do you mind asking
your friend Mac Mittens
862
00:53:04,264 --> 00:53:06,766
to excuse us so we can talk business?"
863
00:53:06,850 --> 00:53:08,268
And I say, "Fuck that.
864
00:53:09,102 --> 00:53:12,105
Anything you say to me,
Mac Mittens can hear that shit."
865
00:53:13,857 --> 00:53:16,067
And he listened to the whole meeting.
866
00:53:16,526 --> 00:53:18,445
When they done talking,
I just look over to Mac Mittens,
867
00:53:18,528 --> 00:53:20,780
and if he gives me the signal...
"Meow-meow!"
868
00:53:22,532 --> 00:53:23,867
I'll sign the papers.
869
00:53:25,619 --> 00:53:26,828
It's a gut check.
870
00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:29,414
Or how about this one?
871
00:53:29,706 --> 00:53:32,542
Remember when it was
the day after the election,
872
00:53:32,626 --> 00:53:35,879
and the president of Taiwan
called Donald Trump to congratulate him?
873
00:53:36,838 --> 00:53:39,257
And Donald Trump, of course,
took the call
874
00:53:39,341 --> 00:53:41,384
and talked to the president of Taiwan.
875
00:53:41,676 --> 00:53:43,345
The problem with that was...
876
00:53:44,054 --> 00:53:45,972
Taiwan doesn't have a president.
877
00:53:48,016 --> 00:53:51,811
The United States functions on what
they call "a one China policy,"
878
00:53:51,895 --> 00:53:55,482
and Taiwan is a renegade province
of said China.
879
00:53:55,565 --> 00:53:57,651
And Donald Trump didn't know that,
880
00:53:57,734 --> 00:54:01,154
and picked up the phone
and started yammering away, and...
881
00:54:01,863 --> 00:54:04,491
the media ate his ass up.
And I'm not gonna lie,
882
00:54:05,075 --> 00:54:06,201
I was laughing, I was like,
883
00:54:06,284 --> 00:54:09,663
"Oh, shit. This dumb motherfucker is
in trouble."
884
00:54:13,333 --> 00:54:16,044
And then that night,
I was in bed drifting off to sleep,
885
00:54:16,127 --> 00:54:19,381
and then, I had to admit it to myself.
I was like...
886
00:54:21,132 --> 00:54:23,093
"I didn't know that shit, either."
887
00:54:28,682 --> 00:54:31,559
And then I realized the media
got the story wrong.
888
00:54:31,643 --> 00:54:34,229
The story wasn't that
Donald Trump took the call.
889
00:54:34,312 --> 00:54:41,027
The biggest story is that nobody told
Donald Trump not to take the call.
890
00:54:41,111 --> 00:54:42,195
That's terrifying.
891
00:54:42,279 --> 00:54:44,948
Goddamn, nigga, you don't have
a Mac Mittens on your team?
892
00:54:48,159 --> 00:54:49,619
It wasn't like they were calling
the White House.
893
00:54:49,703 --> 00:54:51,579
They were calling the switchboard
at Trump Tower,
894
00:54:51,663 --> 00:54:53,456
and they were getting through, anybody.
895
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:57,127
"Mr. President, there's a Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
on the phone for you."
896
00:54:57,210 --> 00:54:58,378
"Yes, put him through.
897
00:54:58,461 --> 00:55:00,297
Hello. Hello, Rikki-Tikki.
898
00:55:00,380 --> 00:55:01,715
Good to talk to you."
899
00:55:02,257 --> 00:55:05,176
"Mr. President, there's a John Jacob
Jingleheimer Schmidt on the phone."
900
00:55:05,802 --> 00:55:08,096
"His name is my name, too.
Put him through.
901
00:55:08,179 --> 00:55:11,016
Hello. Hello, John Jacob.
Let's talk business."
902
00:55:15,603 --> 00:55:17,355
How many people in this room
903
00:55:17,814 --> 00:55:20,191
are not originally from the United States?
904
00:55:20,817 --> 00:55:23,695
-Round of applause.
-[applauding]
905
00:55:23,778 --> 00:55:25,405
Where are you from, bro? You right there.
906
00:55:25,488 --> 00:55:26,323
[man] Iraq.
907
00:55:26,406 --> 00:55:28,742
You're from Iraq? Ewww!
908
00:55:31,494 --> 00:55:32,704
I'm just fucking around.
909
00:55:32,787 --> 00:55:35,040
How long you been here in the country?
910
00:55:35,373 --> 00:55:36,207
[man] Twenty-three years.
911
00:55:36,291 --> 00:55:38,126
Twenty-three years? Are you a citizen yet?
912
00:55:38,209 --> 00:55:41,546
You are? Congratulations, nigga.
Congratulations.
913
00:55:42,714 --> 00:55:44,758
Well, welcome to this great land.
914
00:55:47,177 --> 00:55:48,970
You know, I'm gonna give you
a history lesson,
915
00:55:49,429 --> 00:55:51,931
'cause I'm sure this wasn't
on your entry exam.
916
00:55:52,724 --> 00:55:54,309
But every naturalized American
917
00:55:54,392 --> 00:55:56,728
has heard something about
what I'm about to tell you.
918
00:55:57,354 --> 00:56:00,023
Picture, it's the early '50s
in the United States.
919
00:56:00,106 --> 00:56:02,317
This 14-year-old boy goes down...
920
00:56:03,151 --> 00:56:04,903
from Chicago to Mississippi
921
00:56:05,403 --> 00:56:07,655
to meet his extended family
for the first time.
922
00:56:07,739 --> 00:56:08,656
He'd never been to Mississippi.
923
00:56:08,740 --> 00:56:12,243
And before he went,
his mother said to him,
924
00:56:12,327 --> 00:56:13,870
very pointedly, she said,
925
00:56:13,953 --> 00:56:19,250
"If a white man looks you in your eyes
in Mississippi, look away."
926
00:56:19,918 --> 00:56:23,338
And I don't know what you know about
black people from Chicago,
927
00:56:23,421 --> 00:56:26,341
but they're not a scared people.
928
00:56:28,635 --> 00:56:31,429
Legend has it, he was in front
of a convenience store,
929
00:56:31,513 --> 00:56:34,099
hanging out with his cousins,
having a good time,
930
00:56:34,432 --> 00:56:37,477
and a white woman walked out of the store,
931
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,897
and he thought she was pretty,
and he said... [wolf whistles]
932
00:56:41,523 --> 00:56:42,774
"Bye, baby."
933
00:56:43,566 --> 00:56:47,195
Not realizing that he had just made
a fatal mistake.
934
00:56:47,946 --> 00:56:49,364
Four days later...
935
00:56:49,906 --> 00:56:53,451
Four days later,
a group of adult white men
936
00:56:54,035 --> 00:56:55,787
burst into this family's home
937
00:56:55,870 --> 00:56:59,332
and snatched a 14-year-old boy out
of bed,
938
00:56:59,416 --> 00:57:03,211
in front of his family
that was powerless to stop them,
939
00:57:03,294 --> 00:57:06,714
and he was never seen alive again.
940
00:57:07,382 --> 00:57:09,592
His name was Emmett Till.
941
00:57:10,635 --> 00:57:13,513
They found his body
maybe a few days later.
942
00:57:13,888 --> 00:57:14,973
It was in a creek,
943
00:57:15,223 --> 00:57:17,392
tied to a wheel so it would sink,
944
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,477
horribly beaten and bloated.
945
00:57:19,811 --> 00:57:20,728
Hideous.
946
00:57:21,604 --> 00:57:23,815
And lucky for everybody in America...
947
00:57:24,607 --> 00:57:28,778
his mother was a fucking gangster.
948
00:57:30,655 --> 00:57:31,489
She was.
949
00:57:37,328 --> 00:57:38,329
If you can imagine,
950
00:57:38,413 --> 00:57:41,499
in the very midst
of a mother's worst nightmare,
951
00:57:41,583 --> 00:57:44,794
this woman had the foresight
to think about everybody.
952
00:57:45,128 --> 00:57:47,755
She said, "Leave my son's casket open."
953
00:57:48,631 --> 00:57:52,802
She said, "The world needs to see
what they did to my baby."
954
00:57:53,761 --> 00:57:56,097
And every publication here
in the United States,
955
00:57:56,181 --> 00:57:59,309
from Jet magazine all the way
to the New York Times,
956
00:57:59,392 --> 00:58:02,979
had this boy's horribly bloated body
on its cover.
957
00:58:03,062 --> 00:58:06,608
And if our Civil Rights Movement
was a car,
958
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,320
this boy's dead body was premium gas.
959
00:58:10,403 --> 00:58:13,281
This was a very definitive moment
in American history,
960
00:58:13,364 --> 00:58:15,366
where every thinking and feeling person
was like...
961
00:58:15,450 --> 00:58:18,077
"Yuck! We gotta do better than this."
962
00:58:18,536 --> 00:58:21,247
And they fought beautifully,
and here we all are.
963
00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:31,925
And the reason
that I bring that up tonight
964
00:58:32,008 --> 00:58:35,386
and why it's relevant now,
is because less than a year ago,
965
00:58:35,470 --> 00:58:37,597
the woman that he allegedly whistled at...
966
00:58:38,431 --> 00:58:40,934
admitted on her deathbed...
967
00:58:41,601 --> 00:58:45,188
that she lied in her court testimony.
968
00:58:45,897 --> 00:58:48,608
And you can imagine,
when we read that shit,
969
00:58:48,691 --> 00:58:52,987
we was like, "Ooh! You lying-ass, bitch."
970
00:58:54,948 --> 00:58:56,491
Was furious.
971
00:58:57,450 --> 00:58:59,827
That was my initial reaction.
972
00:58:59,911 --> 00:59:02,539
And initial reactions,
we all learned as we get older,
973
00:59:02,622 --> 00:59:06,626
are often wrong or more often incomplete.
974
00:59:06,709 --> 00:59:10,630
They call this phenomenon
"standing too close to an elephant."
975
00:59:10,713 --> 00:59:13,883
The analogy being that if you stand
too close to an elephant,
976
00:59:13,967 --> 00:59:15,677
you can't see the elephant.
977
00:59:15,885 --> 00:59:19,055
All you see is its penis-like skin.
978
00:59:21,432 --> 00:59:24,352
You gotta step back
and give it a better look.
979
00:59:24,435 --> 00:59:27,981
And on stepping back and thinking
about it for a few moments,
980
00:59:28,064 --> 00:59:31,985
I realized that it must have been
very difficult for this woman
981
00:59:32,068 --> 00:59:35,863
to tell a truth that heinous about herself
at any point in her life.
982
00:59:35,947 --> 00:59:37,282
Even the very end.
983
00:59:37,532 --> 00:59:39,075
And I was grateful
984
00:59:39,158 --> 00:59:41,828
that she had the courage to tell it
before she left this world.
985
00:59:41,911 --> 00:59:43,413
Because it's an important truth
986
00:59:43,997 --> 00:59:45,456
and we needed to know.
987
00:59:45,540 --> 00:59:48,751
And I said to myself,
"Well, thank you for telling the truth...
988
00:59:49,252 --> 00:59:51,671
you lying-ass bitch."
989
00:59:51,796 --> 00:59:53,006
[audience cheering]
990
00:59:56,259 --> 00:59:59,220
And then time goes on,
991
00:59:59,304 --> 01:00:02,974
and then after time,
you can kind of see the whole elephant.
992
01:00:03,558 --> 01:00:04,642
And it's humbling.
993
01:00:05,018 --> 01:00:07,437
'Cause you realize that this woman lied
994
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,981
and that lie caused a murder.
995
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:14,944
But that murder set
in motion a sequence of events
996
01:00:15,486 --> 01:00:17,822
that made my wonderful life possible.
997
01:00:17,905 --> 01:00:19,949
That made this very night possible.
998
01:00:20,033 --> 01:00:26,205
How could this be that this lie
could make the world a better place?
999
01:00:26,414 --> 01:00:27,540
It's maddening.
1000
01:00:28,374 --> 01:00:31,252
And that's how I feel
about this president.
1001
01:00:32,420 --> 01:00:38,301
I feel like this motherfucker
might be the lie that saves us all.
1002
01:00:39,719 --> 01:00:43,556
Because I have never felt more American
1003
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,893
than when we all hate
on this motherfucker together.
1004
01:00:47,477 --> 01:00:50,563
Jesus Christ. It's good.
1005
01:00:52,065 --> 01:00:56,486
And when it happens,
I can see everybody that's struggling.
1006
01:00:57,278 --> 01:00:58,363
So if I'm on stage
1007
01:00:58,446 --> 01:01:01,157
and I tell a joke that makes you want
to beat up a transgender,
1008
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,619
then you're probably a piece of shit
and don't come see me anymore.
1009
01:01:05,620 --> 01:01:07,914
Or if you don't understand
that when a football player
1010
01:01:07,997 --> 01:01:09,916
takes a knee during the national anthem,
1011
01:01:09,999 --> 01:01:12,418
he's actually standing up for me,
1012
01:01:13,169 --> 01:01:15,588
then you might not want
to fuck with me anymore.
1013
01:01:16,881 --> 01:01:19,467
'Cause I swear no matter how bad it gets,
