many of you have heard me

0:02

talk before about the frustration

0:05

of not having the

0:07

best hearing in world end

0:09

of the frustration isn't that

0:11

just my mind? it's my wife's

0:13

very often, i'll say things

0:15

to her like huh or

0:19

i say again, i think

0:21

that drives well, the

0:23

frustration kind

0:25

of hands when have a really good hearing

0:27

aid and that's why i reckon

0:30

an be hearing aids md here he

0:32

is bulls plus mile

0:34

cause over eighty percent

0:36

less than clinic series

0:38

so how did they make their hearing

0:40

aids for a fraction of the cause of

0:43

a clinic hearing aids will

0:45

since about ninety five percent of people

0:47

who need a hearing aid only

0:49

require a few settings m

0:51

d hearing a simplified the need

0:54

5:42

so much for ron johnson claiming the writers

5:45

or and cheaper

5:48

i love the giuliani stuff hutchinson

5:51

testify that on january second giuliani

5:53

was at the white house and as

5:56

she walked him out to his car

5:58

he said tas are you side

6:00

is the sex it's

6:02

going to be a great day we're we're

6:04

going to the capital on january six gonna

6:07

be raped the president's going

6:09

to be there is gonna look powerful

6:12

you know rudy corrupt drunk

6:15

and stupid is no way to go through

6:17

life the

6:19

man rudy tells her talk so cheap about

6:21

meaning of course mark meadows teeth staff

6:23

well the goes use offers

6:25

an ass about what doing

6:28

any told her and memos replies

6:31

there's a lot going on class no

6:35

no things might get real real

6:37

bad on january

6:39

six yeah oh

6:42

n n n hutchinson testify

6:45

the giuliani was part of a gang with

6:47

a john eastman and roger stone and others

6:50

that had set up a war room the

6:52

will or hotel now stone

6:55

was in close contact that week with

6:57

the oath keepers who scored his

6:59

him and the proud boys both

7:01

of which have been indicted by

7:04

the justice department for seditious

7:06

conspiracy by merrick garland

7:08

justice department though they plaza

7:11

case pretty nailed down i would i

7:13

would suspect hutchinson

7:15

testify that meadows would just die

7:19

the get over to the willard war room

7:22

all day on january fifth but finally

7:24

had to settle for just as he put it's

7:26

dialing in he

7:29

also said that meadows

7:31

spoke their day with another friend

7:33

of the oath keepers and proud boys michael

7:35

flynn who in

7:38

video testimony took love

7:40

fifth when asked the

7:43

you believe in the peaceful transition

7:45

of power in the united states

7:48

of america which

7:50

would have been incriminating yes

7:54

for know my

7:56

guess both how's

7:59

that for a pic

7:59

the

8:01

thou meadows you

8:03

know when he reportedly asked

8:05

for a pardon i i i doubt he

8:07

was thinking about the election fraud case

8:09

against him i have a suspicion

8:12

that he will cap a plea after being

8:15

told mr medals you're looking

8:17

at twenty years how would you like to reduce

8:19

that to ninety days or the facility where

8:21

you can work on your tennis

8:23

game i've

8:25

been saying since the beginning

8:27

that all you need to prosecute trump

8:29

is the rams burger com you

8:32

know fine eleven thousand seven hundred and

8:34

eighty vote you'll be taking a big

8:36

risk pow the

8:38

burden county da's all over there but

8:41

it's of federal election and that's

8:43

a federal crime well

8:46

after chassis hutchinson testimony

8:49

that donald trump exhorted a

8:51

crowd that he knew was armed

8:54

the march to the castle inside

8:57

it's all over

8:59

they have to prosecute him

9:01

and remember there are more

9:03

hearings

9:06

then there is the supreme

9:08

court it's an illegitimate courts

9:11

i was on the judiciary committee when the

9:13

republicans refused to take up merrick

9:16

garland the it it was supposedly about

9:18

what mitch mcconnell called the biden

9:20

rule referring to a floor

9:22

speech the biden had given in june

9:24

nineteen eighty eight when

9:27

he was chairman of the judiciary

9:29

committee the scotus term

9:31

was ending no justice

9:33

had died there were nine

9:35

living is the justices biden

9:37

said then it was a presidential

9:40

election year if for justice retired

9:42

at the end of the term retired not

9:44

died not

9:47

biden february but retired

9:49

the ended june that

9:51

he and the democrats would

9:54

take up a nomination to replace

9:56

him or her grumman out a car the

9:59

now many were a moderate

10:01

war

10:03

if president bush was george hw

10:05

bush consulted

10:07

with the democrats on the committee

10:10

that is what biden said in

10:12

his floor speech mcconnell

10:15

why these are the binary

10:18

said simply that he would refuse to

10:20

take up a nominee in a presidential

10:22

election years biden had not

10:24

said that then

10:27

i read biden speech allowed to my

10:29

republican colleagues on the judiciary

10:31

committee and business means i did the several

10:34

times and i noted

10:36

this scalia had died in

10:38

february they didn't voluntarily

10:41

die so he could be replaced by

10:43

a younger conservative which is what

10:46

biden was talking about

10:48

in june of eighty eight of course

10:51

the republicans in care

10:53

the presidential election year that

10:56

was have already been to ask new hampshire let

10:58

the american people decide to replace the school

11:00

year this was a

11:02

coup you may

11:04

remember this graham lindsey

11:07

graham our judy's my words against miss

11:09

if there's a republican president twenty sixteen

11:12

and a vacancy occurs in the

11:14

last year of the first term you can say

11:16

lindsey graham said less let the next

11:19

president who it who have it might be made

11:21

that nomination and you could use my words

11:23

against mean you'd be absolutely right cup

11:26

to coney barrett being sworn

11:28

in a week the for the

11:30

two thousand twenty election the

11:32

widen my former democratic colleagues

11:36

hold that over and over and

11:38

over again and for confirmation hearing

11:41

over which lindsey graham presided

11:44

you said mr chairman the use my words

11:46

against me well let me do that

11:48

the you said if there's a republican president

11:51

two thousand and sixteen and a vacancy

11:54

occurs in the last year of the first

11:56

term you can say lindsey graham

11:58

said

11:59

let

11:59

web the next president whoever might

12:02

be make that nomination

12:04

then you can use my words against

12:06

me and you'd be absolutely right

12:08

and i am i'm

12:11

absolutely right so i'm gonna

12:13

do it again if there's

12:16

a republic

12:21

so let's talk about how radical

12:23

this legitimate court is when coney

12:26

barrett was a law professor at

12:28

notre dame she put her name on

12:30

a full page ad sponsored

12:32

by st joseph county right

12:35

to life the in the south

12:37

bend tribune stated

12:40

we the citizens of miss yeah no

12:42

that's right me see anna was

12:44

evidently michigan and indiana

12:46

missy and i believe that's the country

12:49

a handmade still is said we

12:52

the citizens of messina oppose

12:55

abortion on demand and defend

12:57

the right to life some fertilization

13:00

to natural this

13:03

group of which amy coney barrett was

13:05

a member meant fertilization

13:08

this group wanted to criminalize

13:11

criminalize in vitro fertilization

13:14

they said this they

13:16

want to send fertility doctors

13:18

reproductive endocrinologist

13:21

who endocrinologist in vitro fertilization

13:23

they want to send them to prison that's the

13:25

said presumably for

13:27

murder because in

13:30

in fertilization they routinely

13:32

fertilized many eggs than

13:35

the prism and dispose of the axis

13:37

when they're either finally success

13:40

or just won't work

13:43

the dogs decision is a

13:45

radical decisions you

13:47

know a lot of people point to the fact that in

13:49

some states they are planning to outlaw

13:52

abortion in cases of

13:54

incest or rape and that

13:56

is disgusting the

13:59

make no mistake this decision

14:03

there's going to mean that a lot of women

14:05

will die which

14:08

brings me to marty short our house

14:10

and don't get me started on the be a

14:12

so i , the most entertaining

18:33

person in show business business

18:35

, and

18:38

i met as a tumble all as a compliment

18:40

i mean i understand how can i haz

18:43

interpret that as an insult how can you do

18:45

it all his singing

18:48

comedy these amazing

18:50

impressions are you do

18:52

these characters the the

18:54

gym and he collects the air

insult didn't land any kind

19:37

of lack luster initially anyway thank

19:39

you speaking of insulting

19:42

people are as as

19:44

as a humorous way but if i

19:47

want i'm a gym neglect and

and you're always getting obviously

20:03

a local critics the answer

20:05

to no it was always

20:08

in the a jimmy glick was an amalgamation of

20:10

a lot of things you know there was a guy that

20:12

i had when i was doing a television

20:14

show he was in you know as

20:17

some sort of production

20:19

i never really knew what he would vienna last

20:22

that i was sheer down the hallways and

20:27

, i have to make somebody

20:30

20:32

20:34

very low the very high very

20:36

alone growing up

20:38

who had you state offered to on

20:41

20:43

, which he ran into him

20:47

down

20:48

that

20:49

that's to have a business with from

20:51

it's been the the to me

20:53

it is why i love of i a

20:56

gemini is as he is a a

20:59

concerts as a fan in the interview

21:01

and i'm very quickly moved

21:03

some very insulting and and

21:05

says keeps doing that right under the guise

21:07

of i don't mean this negatively

21:10

the

21:12

it was weird with unique a certain

21:14

characters like nathan

21:16

term i wouldn't really right and memorize

21:19

it was exact rhythms you know nathan

21:22

therm as for for people don't

21:24

remember nathan is this

21:26

the completely paranoid kind

21:28

of spokesman for thanks right

21:31

when he really did become you

21:34

know like kilian conway

21:37

are those people were you know

21:39

they're cornered by logic

21:42

and they immediately deny what they've just

21:45

said and when young really quarter

21:47

the at the person you

21:49

know so if chris guest was

21:51

interviewing me as nathan thurman as a now

21:53

when i was cast member eventually

21:56

i'd say yeah we'll of course and i know

21:58

that but i'm confused so

22:00

boring here so very bland faceless

22:03

forget , was a lot of likes what

22:05

why don't you think i know that yes i know

22:07

but it was some of those of

22:09

stephen miller types you know and i

22:12

know and the cigarettes the

22:14

real wire in your cigarette so that

22:17

29:15

ideal me do

29:18

i do you

29:20

wow i didn't you are that easy

29:22

to do a the either

29:25

now

29:31

now so grave of grave cliff is

29:33

i have no idea why suddenly that clip

29:35

about a year ago became like you look

29:38

at it six million users ah yes

29:40

well i to manifest join us to ease

29:42

and reaction to all that his sister

29:45

i was johnny now let's

29:47

go loosing he just said well as the

29:50

you love singing an

29:53

idiot if i'm if i'm not wrong

29:55

the didn't you want to be a singer

29:57

more than any so i so loosely absolutely

30:00

i am i have an album that

30:02

i made and to secede

30:05

actually probably fourteen yeah i'm

30:07

okay it's martin short sings

30:09

of songs and loves ago

30:12

why would i done by seeking a

30:14

frank sinatra album september my

30:16

years i've been with

30:19

my tape recorder of ghosts know click

30:26

one day you turner and song

30:29

i capella but i have to be in francs

30:31

keys he was scifi i was fourteen

30:34

then i did that whole album i worked on in any

30:37

kind of an echo we part of my attic bedroom

30:39

so you know the boy

30:41

sounded better you kind of new

30:44

show business why

30:46

was your goal early

30:48

know i never thought it was goal was

30:50

like was hobby

30:52

i really hamilton ontario isn't

30:54

and york so it seemed

30:56

if my son and for disneyland

30:58

it looked like i've seen something on neptune

31:01

you know i never thought it

31:03

never seemed like a realistic choice so

31:05

that's why when into medicine that's really

31:07

interesting because as a that did

31:09

a podcast with odin kirk said the

31:11

same thing yeah and he was

31:13

starting to write comedy like when he

31:15

was in fifth grade right

31:18

he was like rugby and stuff but he

31:20

for the life of him did not think anyone

31:22

goes into show business right now

31:24

and same with same i'm in minnesota

31:27

i'm doing comedy

31:29

and school whose on the i tell everybody

31:31

who says how do i get started in comedy

31:33

i tell parents to tell their kids

31:36

every school has a stage and

31:38

they want you a when you're in school

31:41

all the it also want you to go

31:43

on the stage and after you leave school

31:45

no one wants to get our stays the

31:48

sickness the

31:51

okay so you went in a pre med you

31:54

didn't think i'm gonna do this

31:56

but then you did he i mean i

31:58

i find myself as

31:59

two years a pre mans i was so where

32:02

can i was just drawn to the idea of

32:04

being a doctor i was a fan richard

32:06

chamberlain's were conducted kill their money

32:11

so i insist which

32:14

allowed me now to do for the first time

32:16

theater and productions and stuff

32:18

like that at my university and

32:20

still do the school in because when you're in medicine

32:22

you know time other than seriously

32:24

man as you know organic chemistry

32:26

mri or then after four years

32:29

university i was to do a

32:31

masters and so sure and

32:33

i was encouraged by eugene levy

32:36

to take a year

32:37

up and try

32:39

you come to toronto which was forty miles away

32:42

and try to be an actor

32:44

you should i think you're talented the i think you

32:46

know you should try he should give the shops and

32:48

so i thought

32:49

what an album in the mirror fifty and see

32:51

why didn't you

32:53

try that any either i wanted to go oh

32:55

yeah no rooms you detroit that know and hired

32:58

the

32:59

they give myself a year contract

33:02

and and that's when god

33:04

specialist i got god so when i was still in university

33:07

i was it was right away so

33:09

to then i would renew my contract

33:11

from year to year and then funny i just the

33:14

i was stuck

33:15

the new your contract to myself

33:18

in others i didn't want to be twenty eight

33:21

it really broke with no direction

33:24

you know i just do and i knew about so you

33:26

five showbiz was nice are the odds were

33:29

you know the odds are times against you

33:31

no wonder you know

33:33

my son henry graduated from notre dame

33:35

business and ninety eight percent of graduates

33:38

are place in major jobs

33:40

after that

33:41

right

33:42

that's not true if you graduate from juilliard

33:46

sure it you know dana

33:48

carvey one said to me is no reason

33:50

to be a comedian unless you have to be

33:54

amazing i don't believe

33:56

i had to be to flee i think

33:58

i just a really had

34:00

fun doing it

34:03

they got work

34:04

that allow me to have more fun to assess

34:06

assess okay school there's that

34:08

them they are you following with this

34:11

group and of

34:13

, genius to genius comedians

34:15

34:50

dean at one point and i was fifteen at one

34:52

point and were listening to sinatra

35:14

i'm tony bennett yeah

35:16

did you think i'm going to be a singer in show

35:18

business rather than lunch and i mean

35:21

i i think i never thought i was gonna

35:23

be services you know i had a fictitious

35:25

television show my adequate have guests

35:28

i never took it seriously

35:30

like open and and

35:39

tell us about the fictitious musical them

35:42

when , family join a deal

35:44

with nbc nothing

35:46

and ah but i

35:48

but i like mondays at eight

35:50

pm but every other monday

35:53

because it allowed me time for my

35:55

stick to system

35:57

the other is i was so big

35:59

the

35:59

nine nine to come on my own

36:02

schedule

36:03

then i would have guests and

36:05

i was also don't fruit might sit reel

36:07

to reel and then i would take things up the

36:09

tv guide highlights and then

36:11

i'd while a medley of songs that were nominated

36:14

and so my go to dinner and night

36:16

yeah i pause

36:18

then you're so asserting that you didn't have to

36:20

go in the show you , that's

36:24

okay okay

36:27

that's that's swimming oh yeah maybe i should

36:29

rethink my series

36:31

yeah

36:33

so i'm watch you it i've once

36:35

you and steve do your show oh

36:38

by the way bar the reason we're time

36:40

he it this way is it only murders

36:43

in the building is premiering

36:45

the i love the show watched every

36:48

episode thank you as

36:50

soon to beginning that you been working

36:52

with steve

36:54

since i was three amigos

36:56

first time years and i met steve on

36:58

back to the rain man saying on july

37:01

thirteen nineteen

37:03

eighty five and i know that

37:05

because i'm moving tricks of knowing that when

37:08

the trick was that i remember i'd done

37:10

on dave letterman appearance i finish

37:12

my year and snl

37:14

dick ebersol and i dunno at

37:16

and letterman

37:17

it appears when i went to lorne michaels

37:19

apartment

37:20

the discuss this western

37:23

and i was flying to l a the next day

37:26

that's a western the he was pitching to you

37:28

we had well that he was there were these me

37:30

i'm in for which was three amigos

37:33

and so rise of third amigos and then the

37:35

next airport ally

37:37

i've been i went to seize house and met

37:39

him and picked up a spring

37:41

my job we we talk about this in our show and

37:43

i say you know

37:44

i saw his works of art matter how did

37:46

you get this rich to that senior work he

37:49

ran here to skip the three amigos and where have you

37:51

seen

37:51

read miranda's his name just cross it out okay

37:59

and that sort of the relationship you

38:02

have on stage and then that's

38:04

enough so than we do know

38:06

when you make movies your

38:08

interesting because

38:10

it might be yugoslavia

38:12

of the three months or something and then you never

38:14

see those people again and see

38:16

but i think and chevy all made

38:18

it determination that we wouldn't let that

38:21

you don't it's even i did many things together

38:24

where's for okay frank were

38:26

awarded the front of i was operation

38:29

of operation of you

38:31

know charles shown as you might as he wrote it i

38:33

mean they just this is course the

38:36

of the by the bride and frank is the wedding

38:38

planner that's right

38:39

they say what his accent was

38:41

no sit around

38:45

and i remember they were they were

38:47

in the first day we shot

38:49

there are little nervous about it because

38:51

the studio because was a sincere movie

38:53

and this is a heightened character my premises

38:56

always hey go and pick up your shirts

38:58

there's a guy work in their this

39:01

the your them frog and if

39:03

you're not trying to make movies is living

39:05

characters exists in i

39:07

like you know long as it doesn't look like

39:09

i'm trying to be funny will be fine but

39:11

we would you many takes who are you

39:13

hit is awesome do with i like the ball and

39:16

then with turn it down and turn it down insurance

39:18

and remember one point caesar will i

39:20

don't get the joke now i understand perfectly

39:22

so we turned up again in

39:24

of define what that level was

39:27

so they did it so it edited it together

39:29

to creature

39:30

so there's some over the top stuff whereabouts

39:33

are you i made as would actors should do when

39:35

they're making see of doing

39:37

try

39:38

if this range of and then

39:41

the a bit choice will be obvious in

39:43

the middle

39:44

there is a a line of yours

39:47

that i used

39:49

43:28

watching highway patrol know like i'm

43:39

house that's your brother and

43:43

you know i met and by that time i was in the movies

43:45

43:53

me

43:54

because when i was twelve my favorite film

43:59

people who you idolize when or

44:05

a kid so i bet mans effort

44:08

than your contemporary that you respect

44:10

44:12

44:16

myself that in if i was at

44:18

44:31

as as far as to church working how funny this

44:39

44:41

44:54

you bob rae fan

44:56

when i think they would be on the radio

44:58

like in our kitchen

45:00

i'd i'd those are my of so talkers

45:02

america last

45:05

week during the hearings which

45:09

is brian pease i'd recommend anyone the got

45:11

a you tube and and and fine maps

45:13

are you been watching the hearing right oh

45:15

every one of them yes absolutely and

45:18

have anything shocked

45:20

you know

45:22

, mean mean know i know

45:25

there's nothing from my perspective

45:27

that i've heard that

45:29

surprise me at all you know i

45:31

i all believe that

45:33

trump was capable of saying anything i

45:35

do believe that he so

45:38

pins down the river and called him a

45:40

whim i believe that complete

45:42

this fits the pattern

45:44

yeah that's the thing is i it

45:46

this is exceeded my expectations

45:48

i think they've done a great job yes i think

45:50

they don't bring a job

45:52

then i don't we did you can ever change

45:54

the people that are a cultists to him

45:56

but i no many many

45:59

republican family guy raise my kids with

46:01

in l a and i

46:03

think they would watch this and be quite

46:06

affected and start to even if they

46:08

had been in that camp

46:11

of trump at one point

46:12

would really have to say this is it's

46:15

i can if they watch it but this

46:17

is a polling shows or people are already

46:19

moved on are watching it's twenty million people's

46:22

yeah but you know it's twenty which twenty

46:24

million people and the maga

46:27

people that you would want to be

46:29

persuaded or

46:30

deliberately not why i don't think

46:32

the i don't think so ever be swayed

46:34

but there are only wow you're middle pts

46:37

and that's exactly yeah we're bucks

46:39

a year to me it is

46:42

and you and i have talked about to

46:44

we need to prosecute this guy right yes

46:47

i think it sends a very very harmful

46:49

message to america is someone who clearly

46:52

should be

46:53

prosecuted isn't then it then

46:56

you can no longer say that third no

46:58

man is bob the law clearly donald

47:00

trump would be above the law because he's

47:02

broken it and they're proven

47:05

it is broken it endlessly

47:07

so i mean how do you feel like

47:09

if you're the common man and single

47:12

wait a second i don't give the rules

47:14

my my question is is a

47:16

paper saying like wealth we need more

47:19

what more do you need them

47:22

he was

47:24

glad a conspiracy to overturn

47:26

a democratic election i never had any

47:29

an emmy vet there's no question

47:31

about and and mean

47:33

i'm here to made in america and but

47:35

i've since it ever happened before

47:38

these now no

47:41

this is nixon the

47:44

not a pristine by oh but

47:46

this is child's play compared to

47:48

sort regret and if you think about

47:51

it it you know they talked about gore

47:53

confirming or certifying

47:56

right when he was vice president sort of i'm bush

47:59

nixon

47:59

certified kennedy yes

48:02

absolutely

48:03

i think about that

48:04

right now is a very disputed election

48:06

because of illinois in texas absolutely

48:09

to me is the only defenses insanity

48:12

and

48:14

are you run saying he says the word

48:16

more i realize you don't think he's well

48:19

one really shameful to me are the

48:21

ones who know better who don't

48:23

have any kind of psychological

48:25

illness like trump does like ted

48:28

cruz and josh holly's

48:30

lindsey graham these are the ones that the

48:33

play in them war

48:35

of their soul know

48:37

how

48:38

wrong trump and trump is

48:41

among what he stands from what he's done democracy

48:43

they know that be true but

48:46

i guess they don't want to work at blockbuster when

48:49

take when take break will be right back with

48:51

marisa

48:54

honey me basically came to hollywood with

48:56

and it was even better

53:51

oh good which is should be f

53:53

you do have suffered because of my this

53:56

is the was worse is steve is probably

53:58

one of the most discipline the comedian

54:01

well he is is the most creative

54:04

human being i've ever experienced my life's

54:06

you know and it is

54:08

always i'm thinking

54:10

and writing changing and

54:13

then it doesn't work he just laughs it

54:15

off you know

54:16

the house but ah i

54:19

remember seeing steve it

54:21

would be nineteen eighty maybe i didn't know

54:23

because i would known for five years meet him for five

54:25

years right and but he was i'm presenting

54:28

best comedy album the grants

54:30

the came out with damn fool

54:32

tales but boxer underwear

54:34

no pants

54:35

then he didn't acknowledge it he just started

54:38

reading the nominations and

54:40

then a man ran out

54:41

the ball guy

54:43

with pants on a hangar it steve just what tools

54:45

and well it's about time

54:49

after reading it will there's

54:51

like mozart you

54:54

know is is is saying how

54:56

huge

54:58

he was during that period right lose

55:00

i remember seeing him as the amphitheater in l a

55:03

a height of steve martin night and seventy eight right

55:05

but danny and

55:07

john we're opening form is the blues brothers

55:10

right big that when i saw med

55:12

avery fisher hall in that

55:14

tour i think same tour and the first

55:16

swine was i've gotta stop playing these

55:18

toilets that

55:22

was wild and crazy guy and

55:24

that characters the carefree played in

55:26

his standup is

55:29

about is different from him how absence

55:31

and lose as anyone could be and

55:33

i think bad there is attention

55:36

which is the uses

55:38

huge huge rock star of

55:40

comedy and people think he's

55:42

kind of that guy right and

55:45

so i think it was there is

55:49

knowing steve as well as you do was

55:51

there that tension did the that

55:53

affects him in anyway

55:56

i don't know i mean i eat i see

55:58

i knows when i

55:59

steve i think of him kind

56:02

of like allowing for a guy me is always doing

56:04

jokes she's always with me

56:07

the be very comfortable with you then he's is

56:09
