For years, we&#8217;ve been hearing about the power and magic of comedians who are not just telling jokes, they are speaking “truth to power.” They&#8217;re going for the &#8220;clapter,&#8221; meaning not just laughs, but approval and agreement from the audience on social and political issues. 
We’ve been told comedians are the only ones willing to say what no one else will say. They&#8217;re the ones who are breaking open the Overton Window, who are really saying the unsayable. And traditionally, comedians have done just that. Traditionally, comedians violate taboos because when you violate a taboo, it&#8217;s either inherently funny and transgressive. Even if it’s not funny, it might shatter or shock your sensibilities.
And the natural reaction when someone does something transgressive is to laugh. Comedians have always had this sort of role in society, and sometimes that role can be properly directed because the things they&#8217;re attacking are worthwhile to criticize or make fun of. But sometimes the transgressivism of these comedians is really just about the clicks and money. It&#8217;s about faux transgressivism because when it comes down to it, they are perfectly willing to take money from some of the world&#8217;s most repressive human beings and then crap on America in the process.
So Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Andrew Schulz, and a bunch of other top-shelf American comedians went over to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the Riyadh Comedy Festival. Now that sounds like an Orwellian contradiction in terms. The Riyadh Comedy Festival sounds sort of like the North Korean Dance Festival.

It&#8217;s ridiculous what the Saudi monarchy is attempting to do right now. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is attempting to create tourist traps in Saudi Arabia because, effectively, the country has no economic resources other than oil. Oil remains the massive driver of its economy. Salman is trying to diversify. He&#8217;s trying to get into tech. He&#8217;s trying to get into travel and tourism, all of which is fine and dandy.
But let&#8217;s be very clear. Saudi Arabia is an unbelievably repressive country. It remains an unbelievably repressive country today, except for certain touristy areas that are being opened to Westerners so they can come and spend their money. So now a bunch of comedians are apparently so brave when there are no consequences to their bravery, when the only consequences they face are money and applause.
They’re not so brave when they go over to Saudi Arabia and abide by every single rule set by the Saudi government for millions of dollars. 
So Dave Chappelle, a faux brave person, goes to Saudi Arabia and says, “Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, you&#8217;ll get canceled. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s true, but I&#8217;m going to find out.”
Wow. Look at the bravery of that man. He&#8217;s going over to Saudi Arabia to rip on Charlie Kirk and make jokes about him. Just look at that bravery. Perfectly happy to take the money from the repressive Islamic dictatorship and rip on Charlie Kirk in the process.
What a brave man. What a truly brave man. 
According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/world/middleeast/saudi-comedy-festival-riyadh-free-speech.html">The New York Times</a>:
<blockquote>[Chappelle] was performing in Riyadh at the same time as a divisive free speech debate was roiling the United States. … Mr. Chappelle has talked frequently about being canceled after an uproar caused by his jokes mocking trans people. But in Riyadh, he also took aim at the recent suspension of Mr. Kimmel.
Like other comedians at the event who said they felt muzzled by American political correctness, Mr. Chappelle reveled in making uncouth jokes in Saudi Arabia. Yet he overlooked an eight-year crackdown that has led to many of the country’s writers, businesspeople, activists, clerics and social media influencers being arrested.</blockquote>
So he goes to Saudi Arabia, of all places, to rip on the United States because Jimmy Kimmel was suspended from the air for five minutes.
That’s where he&#8217;s putting his ire. What a brave person. 
And speaking of brave people, Bill Burr is out there saying, “Free Luigi! Kill the rich!” The same very wealthy Bill Burr, who believes that the systems of the United States are deeply corrupt, so corrupt that he is a man speaking “truth to power” when he appears on every late-night television show to the hoots and hollers of a bunch of morons in Manhattan, and flies to Riyadh to pick up a giant check.
Burr talked about how he found out that Saudi Arabia is made up of people just like us because, you know, there&#8217;s a Starbucks over there.
Great job, Bill. You really are a warrior for truth. What a brave man. Truly an incredible person.
Here’s what he said after the festival:
<blockquote>And like my whole idea of Saudi Arabia is what I&#8217;ve seen, like on the news. I think I&#8217;m going to land, you know, and everybody&#8217;s going to be screaming, “Death to America!” And they&#8217;re gonna have like, machetes and want to, like, chop my head off.
Right? Because this is what I&#8217;ve been fed about that part of the world. Right. When they first went to set it up over there, the rules on what they had above what you could say and what you couldn&#8217;t say in Saudi Arabia, the people running the festivals were like, &#8220;All right. Well, man, that&#8217;s game, set, match. If this is like all you can talk about, and you want some good comedians, like this isn&#8217;t going to work.&#8221;
And then, to their credit, they said, “All right, what do we got to do?” And they just negotiated it all the way down to like, “You can talk about anything, you know, other than a couple things,” which was basically, you know … religion, don&#8217;t make fun of the royals. And other than that … everything was like open. The royals loved the show. Everyone was happy. The people who were doing the festival were thrilled. And, yeah, it was just this great, positive thing.</blockquote>
Wow. So much bravery.

Bill Burr, the comedian — or perhaps I should call him an ex-comedian —is still pretty angry at me.
That’s because all the way back in February, I said that he had gone rogue. He got really sad. That was after he suggested that the healthcare CEOs of America might deserve to be murdered.
On Thursday, Vulture — which still surprisingly exists — published an <a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/bill-burr-woke-politics-billionaires-left-right.html">interview</a> with him.
“I want to ask about politics because it has been an interesting few months for you in this arena. You’ve had a few things happen, including Ben Shapiro talking about going to one of your shows and complaining that you’re becoming ‘woke,’” Vulture began. 
 
“He doesn’t even know what that word means,” Burr insisted. “His definition of woke is white liberals’ definition of woke, and they didn’t even know what it was; they just took the word from black people. That’s the worst thing about our people — not only do we take from other cultures, we don’t even take the time to understand the definition. He went there to be annoyed so he can then have something to talk about and then he can make money off dividing his own country. Those people, it’s treasonous what they do.”
“The fact is that it worked for what his goal was: for it became a thing online where a certain portion of the right complained about how you’re woke —” Vulture posited.
“Racists. They’re racists,” Burr complained. “They send pictures of monkeys to me and my wife. They’re f***ing horrible people. And they’re cowards, and they never say it to your face. &#8230; What I’m finding is that people keep trying to categorize what it is that you’re doing. Like that idiot Ben Shapiro: ‘He’s woke now!’ That f***ing guy. He was trying to bring me into his fold. At one point, the guy liked me. And then when I didn&#8217;t, all of a sudden I&#8217;m a, I mean, I&#8217;m supposed to look at that guy like he&#8217;s an adult?’
Vulture: “Do you feel misunderstood if people take your words one way or the other?”
“No, I&#8217;m not, mis — I’m deliberately misunderstood,” Burr moaned.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2251-member-exclusive?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowHeadline=The+Ben+Shapiro+Show&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Okay, a couple of quick housekeeping notes there. First, I don&#8217;t need to pay to go to your comedy show to be annoyed. There&#8217;s a lot of stuff in the world that annoys me. And typically, I don&#8217;t shell out hundreds of bucks and then take my wife and my friends to a show in order to be annoyed. I&#8217;m sorry; you did a bad show, and a bunch of people didn&#8217;t laugh in Florida, and then you fussed like a child and then walked off the stage. It was really ridiculous.
That&#8217;s on you, dude. You probably should give the people refunds because they paid for Bill Burr at Red Rock. Instead, they got Joy Behar at some dive bar.
You used to do jokes like this. “Look at the WNBA. They&#8217;ve been playing in front of 3 to 400 people a night for a quarter of a century. Not to mention it&#8217;s a male-subsidized league. We gave you a league. Where are all the feminists? That place should be packed with feminists wearing jerseys, flashing it &#8230; going nuts like the guys do in the upper deck &#8230; ‘Me on the jumbotron. Am I doing it?’”
Or: “Women failed the WNBA. Ladies, ladies, name your top five all-time WNBA players. Name five WNBA teams. Name the WNBA team in your city. You can&#8217;t do it.”
Or: “You don&#8217;t give a f*** about them. They play night in and night out in front of nobody. It&#8217;s a f*** tragedy.”
That&#8217;s what you used to be. But now your latest material is like this: “Then they&#8217;re talking about looting, but CNN and Fox News are not going to bring up the insurance companies that are just going to keep everybody&#8217;s premiums and still give themselves a bonus. Free Luigi!”
Or: “For conservative people to act like they&#8217;re not the biggest babies also is hilarious. Have you seen this? My people? Whitey, we&#8217;re all upset. There&#8217;s enough of us to get it going, trending, anyway. (laughing) We&#8217;re upset about the new Cinderella movie. ‘The actress playing Cinderella isn’t white. There&#8217;s no prince. They changed the story. What am I gonna tell my kids?’ The things my people get upset about. ‘What am I going to tell my kids?’ Well, talk around it the way you do, the way we talk around the real history of this country.”
I&#8217;m glad he&#8217;s laughing at himself because nobody else is. Man, what a fall.
Not liking your show isn&#8217;t “treason,” you doof; you&#8217;re not the president. You&#8217;re the guy who came in second in the Billy Corgan lookalike contest because you showed up sloppy drunk and forgot to shave again.
Here&#8217;s what I mean by wokeness: There is a definition, and I&#8217;ve explained it over and over and over again on the show. It&#8217;s not my definition. It&#8217;s the definition that Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic — who literally wrote a book on Critical Race Theory — laid out in explaining the basic principles that match up with wokeness.
One: racism is ordinary, not aberrational.
Two: Our system of white over color-ascendancy serves important purposes, both psychic and material.
So you put those together for wokeness. What that means is that the system of America is designed to create racially disparate outcomes. Any proof of racially disparate outcomes is evidence of the malignancy of the system.
There&#8217;s another element of wokeness that is self-contradictory here, that there is a racial essentialism that stops you from criticizing as unfactual the viewpoints of others. “You don&#8217;t understand because you&#8217;re not black,” or ‘You can&#8217;t understand because you&#8217;re not gay.”
This ends conversations and contradicts the fundamental basis of wokeness, because the basis of wokeness is that everybody is basically the same, which means all group outcomes should be the same, which means any inequality of group outcome is evidence of systemic inequity.
But then wokeness will also posit that racial groups are so different that you can&#8217;t even talk to one another. You can&#8217;t even criticize the viewpoints of members of another racial group. It&#8217;s a bizarre defense mechanism.
I call Bill Burr woke because he is. He believes that America is a deeply racist place and that it&#8217;s embedded in all of our social systems, and the evidence of that is our economic inequality, and therefore, it&#8217;s probably okay to shoot healthcare CEOs.
And if you criticize him as woke, it&#8217;s because you don&#8217;t really understand the term “woke” because black people invented that term, and when white people use the term “woke” as a descriptor, it’s cultural appropriation.
Oh, how times have changed. 
Bill Burr used to tell this joke: “The black guy who brought up leg-shaking, saying, ‘Elvis took leg-shaking from us.’ It&#8217;s like, ‘Really? Leg-shaking? No, nobody thought to do this. Black people came up with that. You telling me that? I&#8217;ll even give you that. Let&#8217;s say you came up with that. Where did that black dude learn how to do it? Didn&#8217;t he watch some older black guy do it because he&#8217;s the same color? He&#8217;s not stealing. He&#8217;s just carrying on the tradition. But if Elvis does it. Oh, what the f***. Now he&#8217;s the biggest thief ever.’ That doesn&#8217;t make any sense to me.”
The current Bill Burr would presumably call that Bill Burr insensitive and unresponsive to the needs and definitions of black people, which is amazing, because Bill Burr is whiter than a painting of a polar bear in snow on a white canvas.
He&#8217;s the most annoying form of a woke person: a white lib, the kind he likes to criticize. The white person who apologizes for being white by pretending that he can speak on behalf of black people about the systemic privileges of being white.
While pulling down millions of dollars to be an angry thumb of a human.
So Bald Rumpelstiltskin over there — who gets mad when you call him by his real name — is still pissed off. I didn&#8217;t enjoy his comedy show last year, and he thinks that my wife and I and our friends paid to attend his show just so that I could criticize him.
Here&#8217;s the thing. On a random weekday night, if I&#8217;m going to a comedy show, I&#8217;m going because I want to laugh. We paid to attend your show because you used to be funny, and then you transed yourself and turned into a white, bald, allegedly male version of Sunny Hostin on The View screeching at me about income inequality and racism.
You&#8217;ve decided that you&#8217;re a victim and that everyone you know is a victim and that America is cruel and nasty, and you&#8217;re deliberately misunderstood just because you won&#8217;t put on a great show anymore.
I used to enjoy watching Bill Burr. But now watching him is like watching Robin D&#8217;Angelo, but even whiter and even faker and less funny and with a screechy Boston accent to boot.
You turned into Billy, the piss-drunk woke leprechaun. Good luck with that, dude.
Listen, I hope you turn it around. I really do, because the world needs better comedians, and I like a lot of comedians that disagree with me, including Louis C.K. and Dave Chappelle.
But we don’t need 57-year-old men trying to earn street cred with fellow kids by turning into a human embodiment of those stupid “In this house” lawn signs. That makes me sad. It does.
And yeah, you&#8217;re being a woke jackass.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-burr-goes-full-ahole">Bill Burr</a> on Wednesday night refused to level any blame on California Democrats for the historic Los Angeles County wildfires that have killed at least 25 people and destroyed more than 12,300 structures.
Burr, who said he was &#8220;lucky&#8221; that the winds shifted away from his home, told Kimmel that anyone online criticizing the response to the fires is a &#8220;f***ing idiot&#8221; and has no idea what they&#8217;re talking about. He also dismissed the notion that the fire response was in any way &#8220;mismanaged.&#8221;
&#8220;I think everyone did a great job — unlike the internet,&#8221; Burr told Kimmel.
&#8220;Oh my gosh, all of these &#8216;fire experts,'&#8221; the comedian complained. &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you just fly a helicopter into the ocean? &#8230; I don&#8217;t know, because there were 100-knot winds? You wanna do that at night? You f***ing lunatic.&#8221;
&#8220;This was definitely mismanaged,&#8221; Burr said in a mocking tone. &#8220;&#8216;Mismanaged?&#8217; Like some f***ing idiot on the internet knows how to manage the worst fire in LA, sitting there in his underwear.&#8221;
Instead, Burr took aim at insurance companies, yelling out, &#8220;Free Luigi,&#8221; a reference to Luigi Mangione, who is accused of murdering a UnitedHealthcare executive.
Thousands of Los Angeles homeowners were <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fires-california-palisades-fire-homeowners-insurance-state-farm-fair-losses/#:~:text=About%201%2C600%20policies%20in%20Pacific,Soller%20said%20in%20an%20Thursday">dropped</a> by their insurers in the past year or so due to the massive insurance crisis in California. A recent Wall Street Journal editorial <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/california-fires-los-angeles-insurance-regulation-premiums-risk-fair-victoria-roach-gavin-newsom-1306d0a1">pinned</a> that crisis on the state’s Democrat politicians. For example, California bars companies from raising premiums to reflect the increasing fire risks. As a result, insurers have limited their coverage or stopped doing business in California altogether. Additionally, the state’s supposed safety net for those left without private insurance, called “FAIR,&#8221; has a $458 billion exposure, while it only has around $700 million in cash on hand to pay claims.

Notably, California&#8217;s leadership has been criticized by even legacy media for a number of outrageous actions. For example, L.A. Democratic Mayor Karen Bass has been accused of ignoring warnings of the forecasted high winds and fire threat, opting to leave town for a taxpayer-funded trip to Africa. The mayor also cut the fire department budget by <a href="https://abc11.com/post/los-angeles-cut-175m-fire-department-budget-months-before-palisades-signed-mayor-karen-bass/15782731/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$17.5 million</a> just months before the fires broke out.
Businessman Rick Caruso, a Democrat who lost the 2022 mayoral race by nine percentage points, has publicly said that firefighters’ hands were tied by leadership and fire hydrants in the area were “bone dry.”

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom is also taking criticism in the wake of the historic fires, specifically for the lack of water to fight them. One of California&#8217;s top water supply systems has been heavily regulated over concerns about two specific fish populations. When President-elect Donald Trump was serving as president back in 2019, he tried to pump more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta but was stonewalled. 
Folks online were quick to criticize Burr for neglecting to go after those in power. &#8220;Bill Burr lost all his credibility in less than 60 seconds,&#8221; comedian Tim Young bluntly wrote on X.

Bill Burr Says LA Fire Response Has Been ‘Great’, Mocks Critics As ‘F***ing Idiots’

California

Los Angeles

Los Angeles County

U.S.

I used to enjoy Bill Burr’s work.
On occasion, I still do. He&#8217;s a comedian, which means he&#8217;s very hit or miss. Once upon a time, I was such a fan that I actually bought tickets for me, my wife, and two of my friends to go see him.
It turned out to be one of the worst shows I have ever seen in my life because Burr has become woke. Over time, I think he became embarrassed that many people on the Right thought he was very funny, so he decided he was going to go woke.
The show I saw was so bad that he got frustrated with the audience. The audience was not laughing at his jokes because his jokes were basically about how Floridians were a bunch of anti-gay racists. And Floridians reacted badly because that&#8217;s not true. There are a lot of gay people who live in Florida and many Hispanics, blacks, and Jews live there as well.
He ended up cutting his show early and walking off the stage. The reason was, he was totally disconnected from the audience.
That disconnect has continued. Not long ago, he appeared on Bill Maher&#8217;s show where he declared solidarity with the pro-Hamas students on campuses.
Now, he is proclaiming he is very happy that CEOs are walking around in fear for their lives.
We tend to give comedians more leeway to say edgy things because they’re trying to be funny.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2102-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
But it&#8217;s not clear to me that Burr is attempting to be funny. This week, he explained that he is perfectly fine with CEOs having to live with full-time security because they fear they might be shot. Because, after all, they are murderers too.
Burr openly cheered the murder of the UnitedHealthcare executive because he says CEOs should live in fear if they don&#8217;t act in the way that he would have them act — in a system that he has no fixes for, by the way.
He <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/bill-burr-explains-why-hes-ok-with-ceos-fearing-for-their-lives-after-ny-shooting-a-lot-of-you-are-mass-murderers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>:
<blockquote>You know what’s annoying me about this kid who killed this CEO? None of these news programs are talking about the incredible lack of empathy from the general public about this because of how these insurance companies treat people when they at their most vulnerable, after we’ve all given them our money every f***ing month, and now we finally need you and all you do is deny us…
You know, I gotta be honest with you, OK? I love that f***ing CEOs are fucking afraid right now. You should be! By and large, you’re all a bunch of selfish greedy f***ing pieces of s***; and a lot of you are mass murderers. You just don’t pull the trigger. That’s why it looks clean.</blockquote>
What he said is truly evil. He&#8217;s saying you should live in fear if you&#8217;re the CEO of a company that does things that Burr deems to be bad or wrong.
Now, we have laws on the books, for example, that prevent crimes like fraud and embezzlement. We have laws on the books that punish criminal activity. If you don&#8217;t like the system, and many people don&#8217;t, the proper response to that system would be legislation. In a democratic republic, the way to fix problems is to have open discussions of the details of those problems and then craft regulatory or legal fixes.
You do not say that it is a good thing that CEOs should live in fear of their lives because Burr deems them morally inferior.
Bill Burr’s blue collar class routine act is a bunch of horses***. The man is worth $14 million, and he makes his money creating crap movies for Netflix at this point. If we&#8217;re going to have a functioning country, you can&#8217;t justify the murder of people who run their businesses legally in ways with which you disagree.
It is one thing to disagree with executives. You can call them whatever you want. But to start justifying that they should live in fear or suggesting that they should be murdered? What is the limiting principle here?
The alleged shooter in this case was echoing Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. The Unabomber suggested that if you were, for example, an oil executive, maybe you should be murdered, because after all, there were externalities to the oil industry.
Why not the banking industry? Maybe Burr doesn&#8217;t like the banks. After all, that bank denied grandma her loan. So, with his logic, maybe the CEO of the bank should be tracked down and murdered.
This is full-stop evil. It is evil. I don&#8217;t care what complaints exist with the health insurance company, the notion that the solution to those complaints is the murder of the executives is sick. If you were living in a tyrannical society with no legal correctives or alternatives in terms of Medicaid — which does exist — and no alternatives in terms of other health insurance programs, then an argument could be made for there to be a full-scale monarchic tyranny.
But that&#8217;s not the system in which we live. And promulgating that lie leads to greater violence. It leads to justification of all violence.
It&#8217;s not just Bill Burr. It is also Jimmy Kimmel, who decided last night to devote an entire segment celebrating the good looks of the alleged shooter. He <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jimmy-kimmel-laughs-shares-staffers-texts-about-ceo-killer-being-hot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, 
<blockquote>So many women and so many men are going nuts over how good-looking this killer is. There’s a huge wave of horny washing over us right now. It’s like when one of the guys you work with says, ‘I had a dream about you last night.’ When it’s the FedEx guy with the big muscles and the rolled-up sleeves, you’re like, ‘Ohh.’ But if it’s the bald IT guy wearing Crocs with black socks, you’re on the phone with HR.</blockquote>
He continued:
<blockquote>It&#8217;s kinda that same dynamic. … I have never experienced anything like this. These are screengrabs of actual exchanges between our members of our staff and their friends, relatives, whatever.
I&#8217;ve changed the names to protect the guilty. Lorraine C. asks, “Do you guys think the United Health Care Co killer is hot?” Friend replies, Yes, I love Luigi. I think he&#8217;s gay though. … And one more from a young woman in our segment department. “Texting all my friends in New York that I hope they get called to jury duty.” “God, I want to do jury duty so bad.”</blockquote>
Hilarious, hilarious stuff. Glorifying the alleged murderer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
What a delight these people are.

During the 55-year-old actor/comedian&#8217;s appearance on Tuesday on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWwMGNjqolk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Kimmel Live!</a>,&#8221; Burr directed the conversation towards the 2024 election and blasted liberals for the numerous indictments of the former president — which he said has only given Trump new political life.
&#8220;You want to see a great case thing on narcissism,&#8221; Burr said. &#8220;Liberals are so f***ing stupid, the way that they handle Trump.&#8221;
Kimmel pressed the comedian and asked what he meant by his comment.
&#8220;You should shut up!&#8221; the comedian replied. &#8220;He&#8217;s [Trump] a narcissist. Neutral energy. Neutral.&#8221;

Kimmel said, &#8220;You think he&#8217;d go away if we stopped &#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;You know what I think, he&#8217;s a one-hit wonder,&#8221; Burr replied, comparing Trump to the song writer of &#8220;<a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/news/the-man-who-wrote-the-twist-1.351511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Twist</a>,&#8221; Hank Ballard. &#8220;He [Trump] wrote &#8216;The Twist&#8217; and that was it. He was on the casino circuit.&#8221;
&#8220;And then you idiot liberals wrote him &#8216;Twist Again&#8217; when you indicted him,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And now he&#8217;s a martyr. He&#8217;s coming back, Jimmy. He&#8217;s coming back. It&#8217;s going to be great for comedy. He&#8217;s coming back.&#8221;
The &#8220;Old Dads&#8221; star then lamented the current choices for president between frontrunner Republican presidential candidate Trump and President Joe Biden.
&#8220;I can&#8217;t believe these are honestly going to be our two choices,&#8221; Burr told the host. &#8220;I want somebody in their 40s. Somebody that&#8217;s going to have to live with their decision.&#8221;
&#8220;With any luck, they&#8217;ll both die of natural causes before the election, and maybe you could get somebody that still has something to live for,&#8221; he added.
Biden turned 81 last month and is the oldest sitting president in American history, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-2024-campaign-oldest-president-young-voters-152d11d3090518a2e5eee63b9a596673" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AP</a> noted. Trump will be 78 when voters go to the polls in November 2024 and would be older than Biden at the end of his four-year term if voters send the 45th president back to the White House.

Comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-burr">Bill Burr&#8217;s</a> recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/comedy">stand-up</a> routine questioning the morality of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion">abortion</a> has fans reacting in different ways.
A clip of the bit, which was part of the Netflix special “Bill Burr: Live at Red Rocks,” was originally posted to TikTok via @miss.mendoza and has since been shared by multiple Twitter accounts, including the <a href="https://twitter.com/hodgetwins/status/1550330806714998786">Hodge twins</a> and An0maly. Burr doesn’t come out and say abortion is wrong, but followers are pointing out that his analogy comparing the procedure to baking a cake is “on point.”

“Pro-choice always made sense to me, because I don’t like people telling me what to do, and I was just like, it’s your body, who the f*** am I to tell you what to do with your body? So that always made sense,” he began. “However, I still think you’re killing a baby.”
There are some cheers and many boos for that line, which led Burr to say, “See? That’s where it gets weird. Like, I sit on the fence and the whole thing makes sense to me.”
He goes on to say “my body, my choice” sounds good in theory, but that the abortion debate extends beyond it. Burr admits that the “killing a baby” part gives him pause.
“If we’re gonna be honest, that is the whole purpose of the procedure,” the comedian continued. “You’re not going in there because you’ve got an earache. You’re going in there because you’re like, ‘I got a baby in me, get it the f*** out of here.’ Right? You walk in with a baby, you come out without one. What happened to the baby? Right?”
He went on to compare gestating a baby to baking a cake. 
“It’s not a baby yet, that’s what they say,” Burr says. “Which may or may not be true, I don’t know, I’m not a doctor. But I’ll tell you, my gut tells me, that doesn’t make sense.” 
“&#8217;It’s not a baby yet&#8217; … that would be like if I was making a cake and I poured some batter in a pan, and I put it in the oven, and then five minutes later you came by and you grabbed the pan and you threw it across the floor, and I went ‘What the f***? You just ruined my birthday cake!’ and then you were like, ‘Well, that wasn’t a cake yet.’”
He continued, “It’s like, ‘Well, it would have been if you didn’t do what you just did, there would have been a cake in 50 minutes.’ Something happened to that cake, you cake-murdering son of a b****.”  
Burr is known for his politically incorrect humor, including criticisms of Left-wing gender theory. The Daily Wire also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-burr-takes-another-swipe-at-feminists-womens-sports-in-latest-netflix-special">reported</a> that the comedian made waves mocking feminism and women’s sports during the “Red Rocks” special.

Through That F-in’ Wall: An Evening With Bill Burr’s”F Is For Fam

Bill Burr Comparing Abortion To Ruining A Cake Goes Viral On Twitter

Abortion

Politically incorrect comedian and actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-burr">Bill Burr</a> joked about feminists, again, in his latest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/netflix">Netflix</a> special, &#8220;Bill Burr: Live at Red Rocks.&#8221;
Burr joked that it&#8217;s feminists, not men, who are blame for the poor viewership of women&#8217;s sports, which he said are in some cases <a href="https://en.as.com/en/2022/03/07/nba/1646677389_970277.html">subsidized</a> by men.
“You’re playing in a 20,000-seat arena — 1,500 people show up. That’s not a good night! The promoter lost his f***ing ass on that gig,” the comic said about U.S. women&#8217;s soccer, <a href="https://brobible.com/culture/article/bill-burr-women-failed-uswnt-wnba/">according</a> to BroBible.
Burr then moved on to the WNBA, and the league&#8217;s notorious low attendance at games.
“Look at the WNBA: they have been playing in front of 300 to 400 people a night for a quarter of a century,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Not to mention, it’s a male-subsidized league. We gave you a league and none of you showed up.&#8221;
&#8220;Where are all the feminists?&#8221; the 54-year-old joked. &#8220;That place should be packed with feminists — faces painted, wearing jerseys, going f***ing nuts like the guys do! &#8230; None of you went to the f***ing games.&#8221;
&#8220;You failed them,&#8221; he told feminists. &#8220;Not me. Not men — women failed the WNBA. Ladies, name your Top 5 WNBA players of all time. Name 5 WNBA teams. Name the WNBA team in your city. You can’t do it!”
Sports site AS <a href="https://en.as.com/en/2022/03/07/nba/1646677389_970277.html">noted</a> in March that NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in 2018 that the WNBA had lost about $10 million each year since its inception, adding that pay increases for women&#8217;s players likely just means even bigger subsidies from the league&#8217;s highly profitable male counterpart, the NBA.
Burr is known for his politically incorrect humor. Back in 2018, for example, the comedian unapologetically <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fascist-liberals-comedian-bill-burr-smacks-leftist-amanda-prestigiacomo">pushed-back</a> against the Left’s gender ideology, partially when it comes to children.
&#8220;The King of Staten Island&#8221; actor ripped “fascist liberals” for pushing their “gender neutral” ideology onto the rest of us during an episode of the “<a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.yourmomshousepodcast.com/">Your Mom’s House</a>” podcast. Burr rejected the notion of raising his baby girl as anything other than female and lamented the “small minority” of fascist leftists who attempt to dictate our speech and shame those who, like himself, don’t fall in line.
“I would never do that to my kid,” he said on the podcast. “This kid has like a developing brain. I’m gonna dump my own constitution of s*** on them? That is like adult stuff, and you should allow kids to be kids. Can they have a f***ing childhood? … I would never have some political agenda.”
When told gender is now “subjective,” Burr replied: “I don’t agree with that. Good luck on how you want to raise your kid. I’m going to raise my kid the way I want to.”
“Look, my daughter is a girl and if she wants to work on carburetors or quote, ‘do some guy s***,’ I don’t give a f***,” he continued. “I opened my mind. I listened to you. I don’t agree with what you’re saying. It’s my kid and I’ll raise her the way I want to.”

Bill Burr went there.
The frank-speaking comedian took aim at liberals&#8217; endless fixation on transgender issues, especially the idea that a &#8220;man&#8221; can get pregnant.
“What do you mean men can get pregnant? What the f*** are they talking about?” Burr said on a recent <a href="https://youtu.be/gN9AjnzK_Ss?t=1498">episode</a> of his podcast. &#8220;As a lefty, I don’t understand.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, you know what? It’s the extreme Left. You know what I mean &#8230; a man cannot get pregnant,&#8221; he said, laughing. &#8220;We’re not born with a womb over there. Unless, I will tell you this, in the future, that’s gonna&#8217; happen. Because they can already grow like an ear in a petri dish.&#8221;
&#8220;When modern medicine becomes, you know, Gas Monkey Garage, and you can basically do a body-off restoration and do a Chip Foose thing where you&#8217;re combining different eras except you&#8217;re combining different genders. There&#8217;s going to be like women, pressuring their men. Used to be to get a vasectomy now so why don&#8217;t you get a womb? Why don&#8217;t you carry this f***ing thing around? You know what I mean?&#8221; Burr said.
Midwifery students at a top Scottish university are being taught that biological men can get pregnant and transgender men could actually give birth, even if they have a penis, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10762699/Midwives-taught-university-help-biological-men-penises-birth.html">reported</a> last month. &#8220;In a coursebook that has since been revised, trainee midwives were given detailed instructions on how to treat a male-to-female trans person during childbirth.&#8221;
&#8220;Several experts criticised the university, describing the woke course material as &#8216;remarkably ignorant about basic biology, sex and anatomy.&#8217; Bosses at the university have changed the wording to say &#8216;people transitioning from female to male&#8217; rather than &#8216;male to female&#8217;, following the uproar,&#8221; the U.K. paper wrote.
But Burr is an equal-opportunity critic. Earlier in the podcast, Burr blasted the anti-abortion faction on the conservative side.
&#8220;These f***ing idiots on the Right, Jesus Christ!&#8221; he said. &#8220;Who gives a s*** if you think it’s the taking of a life?&#8221;
&#8220;How much harder does the world have to get? There’s seven billion of us! By all means, don’t bring anymore here. I understand. If you think it’s killing a baby, you know what I mean? I get it. How do you know that baby’s gonna&#8217; be a good person? You ever think of that over there on the Right?&#8221;

Comedian Bill Burr said he&#8217;s not for the &#8220;mob mentality&#8221; part of cancel culture these days, and said that he is not willing to apologize to someone who gets upset about a joke they heard about from a show they didn&#8217;t even attend.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-mandalorian-star-bill-burr-says-gina-caranos-firing-wasnt-a-fair-move-and-liberals-proved-her-point">53-year-old</a> comedian’s appearance on &#8220;Steve-O&#8217;s Wild Ride&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Elow7Wn0_Y&amp;t=32s">podcast</a> Thursday, the hosts — &#8220;Jacka**&#8221; star Steve-O, Scott Randolph, and Paul Brisske — asked the comedian whether he had &#8220;ever apologized for a joke?&#8221; Burr said that he has offered an apology &#8220;to the individual that I hurt,&#8221; but he drew the line at apologizing to the mob.
&#8220;Listen, if I&#8217;m in a bad mood…&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-burr-torches-cnn-treasonous-un-american-pieces-of-s-biden-a-fing-bore">the comedian shared</a>. &#8220;Now some a**hole is going to cut that right there and say, &#8216;See! comedians should apologize&#8217; because everybody&#8217;s like Fox News and CNN now like steering it, they&#8217;ll cut out all this part.&#8221;

&#8220;No, if I&#8217;m in a bad mood or if I told a joke about something that somebody had a personal effect to and I made them sad or made them cry …&#8221; he added. &#8220;You know, there&#8217;s that comic who [goes] &#8216;f*** you, lady, you shouldn&#8217;t have come out.&#8217; Like, I don&#8217;t take it to that level. It&#8217;s just like &#8230; you&#8217;re right, I didn&#8217;t think of that. I didn&#8217;t know you were gonna be here tonight. What are the f***ing odds you were at that thing that I was making fun of?&#8217; But that can happen.&#8221;
&#8220;But I refuse to apologize to anybody that is upset that they heard a joke at a show they weren&#8217;t at,&#8221; Burr continued. &#8220;You know? Especially if somebody filmed it … If it&#8217;s in my special, that&#8217;s different and I decided to put it out or whatever. But like if it&#8217;s one of those things where someone in the crowd films you and then they put it up. It&#8217;s like &#8216;get mad at them!&#8217; and you, because you saw the subject and clicked on it.&#8221;
&#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; star said he&#8217;s definitely a &#8220;big believer in if you are wrong and you feel you&#8217;re wrong, you apologize&#8221; but forget about doing so for some cause.
&#8220;But I&#8217;m not a believer in the mob mentality and I&#8217;m not gonna apologize just cause it&#8217;s not worth it,&#8221; Burr shared. &#8220;Because then all I do is give that strength that that&#8217;s okay to do that and then some other comic&#8217;s going to have to deal with it.&#8221;
&#8220;If you come up to me after a f***ing show, I&#8217;ll listen to you and if I agree with what you&#8217;re saying I&#8217;ll be like &#8216;yeah, alright, okay. It wasn&#8217;t a personal thing, I&#8217;m sorry,&#8221; the superstar comedian continued. &#8220;And what I&#8217;ve found you can — like actually, they&#8217;ll be cool with you. People, anybody, like us … They want to be heard. But as far as that &#8216;professional being offended&#8217; so you can move whatever cause because you feel like you can fix society with your ideas, I mean, I don&#8217;t get into that.&#8221;

Bill Burr Says He’s Not For ‘Mob Mentality,’ Refuses ‘To Apologize’ To Someone Upset About A Joke At A Show They Didn’t Attend

Bill Burr Says He Refuses ‘To Apologize’ To Someone Upset About A Joke At A Show They Didn't Attend

Cancel Culture

Comedian and actor Bill Burr said this week that actor Johnny Depp is &#8220;f***ing destroying&#8221; in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard and might be owed public apologies from people who &#8220;trashed him,&#8221; if the case continues on to show Heard as &#8220;lying.&#8221;
Depp is suing Heard for more than $50 million over an op-ed the actress penned at The Washington Post in 2018, claiming to be a victim of domestic violence. Heard has countersued for $100 million.
&#8220;I heard he is absolutely destroying her,&#8221; Burr <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1AvkqZeKY2uGzclv2nc4dK">said</a> on his Monday Morning Podcast, adding, &#8220;from what I&#8217;ve seen, the guy is f***ing destroying this woman for lying.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m wondering, all these people who just accepted her lies, if they&#8217;re gonna apologize somehow, because they publicly trashed him,&#8221; the &#8220;Mandalorian&#8221; actor continued. &#8220;It&#8217;d be nice if they then publicly apologized, and said, maybe next time we won&#8217;t jump to conclusions.&#8221;
Burr told listeners he&#8217;s watched &#8220;bits and pieces&#8221; of the trial and is receiving a second-hand account from a &#8220;buddy.&#8221;
&#8220;Johnny is absolutely destroying her,&#8221; the friend told Burr.
The comedian went on to talk about the #MeToo movement and feminism more generally, seemingly honing-in on the &#8220;believe all women&#8221; mantra.
&#8220;It really does amaze me how the pendulum just does not seem to swing the other way,&#8221; he said. &#8220;All of these women&#8217;s groups, when they see a woman lie likes this, which really hurts their position &#8230; for someone to go out and lie about it, it hurts the people that are actually in it.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;d think that&#8221; feminist groups &#8220;would cover this,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I think it really hurts feminism.&#8221;
&#8220;If this really goes in the direction that everything she was saying was absolute bulls*** &#8230; if it all just pans out with a whole, &#8216;oh yeah, sorry about that.&#8217; It just doesn&#8217;t f***ing seem right, and, ya know what, it doesn&#8217;t sit well with me!&#8221; the podcast host exclaimed.
&#8220;If I had the time, I would definitely be watching more of it,&#8221; he said, adding that if Depp &#8220;sweeps&#8221; the trial, it would make him &#8220;happy&#8221; because he &#8220;like[s] that guy.&#8221;
Burr also recalled receiving advice from someone to lock himself in another room if a female ever starts &#8220;swinging&#8221; at him, this way, the actor said, the man can avoid being falsely accused of hurting her.
&#8220;If a girl starts swinging on you, lock yourself in the bathroom,&#8221; Burr recalled the advice.
&#8220;At some point, you have to get her off of you,&#8221; he explained, adding that you might accidentally hit the female&#8217;s wrist or something of the sort when trying to do so.

&#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; star Bill Burr said his former co-star Gina Carano&#8217;s &#8220;firing&#8221; on the hit Disney+ series wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;fair move,&#8221; and said that &#8220;liberals proved her point,&#8221; before he slammed cancel culture.
During the 53-year-old actor&#8217;s recent interview for the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/bill-burr-interview-career-snl-gina-carano-1235134000/">Hollywood Reporter</a>, the superstar comedian was asked about Carano and if he thought the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protect-the-kids-at-all-costs-gina-carano-salutes-daily-wires-new-kids-programming">40-year-old actress</a>&#8216; &#8220;firing was a fair move&#8221; after the &#8220;Deadpool&#8221; star lost her job on the &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; series in February 2021, then immediately signed on with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gina-carano-to-produce-and-star-in-upcoming-film-for-the-daily-wire">The Daily Wire</a> to make movies.
&#8220;No,&#8221; Burr responded to the question. &#8220;I thought it was funny that the liberals proved her point. They just use outrage because they don&#8217;t like your politics. As someone who considers himself liberal, it&#8217;s disappointing to see the left become how the right used to be when they went after the Dixie Chicks after they criticized George W. Bush.&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s not a lot of people like that — most are just trying not to get in trouble — but there&#8217;s this small collection of lunatics — either on the right or the left, at any given moment — that cause hysteria,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And now there&#8217;s so many [media outlets] that want eyeballs, they make money off advertising, that they give attention to these crazy fringe people.&#8221;

Bill Burr on cancel culture: “You can&#39;t take one incident or one quote and say, ‘That&#39;s who you are.’ It took me 50 years to figure out who I am and I&#39;ve been with me for 50 f&#8212;ing years.

&#8220;The whole thing with Gina [Carano]: You can&#8217;t chime in when the s***&#8217;s happening, because then you cause static for other people on the [show]. That somebody&#8217;s opinion — or their political beliefs — makes people try to destroy their ability to make a living, it&#8217;s f***ing bizarre to me.&#8221;
Carano was allegedly cut from Lucasfilm&#8217;s popular series over several social media posts that were called offensive by some.
The post that got the most attention involved her sharing a screenshot of &#8220;another person&#8217;s post that she then posted onto her own Instagram account.&#8221; “The post compared the current polarized culture in the U.S. to Nazi Germany,&#8221; as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-fires-actress-gina-carano-after-post-comparing-hating-someone-over-politics-to-nazi-germany">reported</a>.
Burr also slammed cancel culture and the idea of going &#8220;back eight years in somebody&#8217;s Twitter feed and be like, &#8216;What about this?’”
&#8220;And nobody says, &#8216;You had to go back eight years to find something?!’” the comedian explained. “‘Sounds like this is a pretty good person if you had to go back eight f***ing years!’ Meanwhile, there are people who get paroled from prison every day who have done so much worse and they&#8217;re allowed to put their lives back together.&#8221;
&#8220;You can have 20-year wars, you can create synthetic heroin, you can f***ing poison the food supply,&#8221; he added. &#8220;You can do all of that s***and it&#8217;s barely going to read. They did a study the other day that 85 percent of people have plastic in their body — horrifying. Who&#8217;s going to be held accountable for that? Nobody. But I could tell you five different topics that if I did jokes about, I would get more in trouble than the people who caused that.&#8221;

Comedian, actor, and podcast host Bill Burr slammed Cancel Culture this week, criticizing the collective faux outrage from people he says don&#8217;t go to his shows and likely don&#8217;t understand his comedy.
&#8220;I’m not saying that I ever haven&#8217;t made mistakes,&#8221; Burr admitted, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/bill-burr-slams-cancel-culture-im-not-apologizing-if-people-dont-get-jokes">according</a> to the Washington Examiner. &#8220;There’s [sic] times I’ve, you know, pissed somebody off or made somebody cry, and if they come up and they have a legitimate thing, then I’ll apologize to them.&#8221;
&#8220;But I’m not apologizing to a bunch of f***ing people because I told a joke that they weren’t at,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;I told a joke at a show you weren’t at. Like, all right, so, like, how is that my fault?&#8221;
During the same appearance on &#8220;The Pat McAfee Show,&#8221; Burr added that, in his estimation, 85% of the country is reasonable, and its extremists on both sides make the most noise.
&#8220;These people that are on the extreme Right and Left, I think, only represent about 15% of the population,&#8221; Burr said. &#8220;I just feel like 85% of the country on the Right and the Left is kind of sitting there, like, when are Dad and Mom going to stop screaming at each other?&#8221;
This summer, the “Mandalorian” actor bucked the liberal narrative on his podcast, ripping into “treasonous un-American” CNN for the network’s Trump-obsession and its refusal to criticize “bore” President Joe Biden because he’s a Democrat.
“I swear to God, I cannot believe people watch that channel. They’re so dumb,” Burr <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/comedian-bill-burr-savages-cnn-as-un-american-pieces-of-sh">said</a> at the time, according to Fox News. “They’re f***ing treasonous un-American pieces of s***.”
Burr noted that his mother-in-law turns on CNN when she comes over to watch his children.
“She always puts on CNN,” he explained. “And do you know what those f***ing morons are doing? Do you know what those f***ing morons are doing?! They’re f***ing talking about Trump.”
“It’s like, do you think these people give a f*** who’s president? They want Darth Vader to come back. They want him (Trump) to come back. Because they had nothing to talk about, because it’s show business, and Joe Biden is a f***ing bore.&#8221;
The comedian then smacked the network for their partisan bias: “They can’t b**** about [Biden] because he’s wearing a blue tie,” he said, referring to POTUS being a Democrat.
“So now what do they do? They’re going out there, they’re doing what they did the first time to get this guy [Trump] elected, by giving him all this free coverage, while they act like they allegedly don’t like him,” Burr added.
“I don’t buy it. I don’t buy it. They are a corporate news channel.”
Back in March, Burr rattled progressives when he cracked anti-PC jokes as he presented an award at the 2021 Grammys, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftists-rage-over-bill-burr-grammy-joke-on-feminists-going-nuts">The Daily Wire</a> reported:
<blockquote>When he presented the best regional Mexican music award, he stumbled over the pronunciation of winner Natalia Lafourcade’s last name. “I can’t say the name,” he said. “The Grammy goes to Natalia Lafourcade. I will accept on behalf of her. If I butchered her name, I’m sorry.”
“Natalie, you won,” Burr added.
“[How many] feminists are like, going nuts,” Burr later mocked, presenting best tropical Latin album. “Why is this cis-white male doing all this Latino stuff.”</blockquote>
