  • - So this weekend was strange because

  • you look at the events as they unfolded.

  • The bombs were their own issue.

  • That culminated in the guy being arrested

  • and then you had the series of attacks

  • that America is now dealing with.

  • And one of the hardest things to do

  • for myself as a human and then for myself as a comedian

  • is to try and provide context and also,

  • I think some sensitivity when dealing with issues.

  • So, the bombings are benign for me now

  • because the person's been caught,

  • it seems like it's under control.

  • Nobody was hurt.

  • You know what I mean?

  • Thank God.

  • So that's done on that side.

  • So I can make jokes about that.

  • (audience clapping)

  • When it comes to the other issues that we're gonna tackle

  • in the week and we wanted to look at,

  • you look at the synagogue shooting that took place

  • and you look at the other shooting

  • again by a right wing conspiracy theorist

  • who wanted to go in and shoot up a black church.

  • And, again he couldn't get in

  • because it turns out the door was locked to the church

  • and unfortunately two young black people lost their lives.

  • He wanted to kill somebody and he did

  • and these are all stories that you wanna cover

  • but you wanna give them the gravitas.

  • You wanna give them the right feeling.

  • You wanna give them the right context.

  • So, a lot of what we were planning to do this week

  • has been affected by what has happened

  • and so what we're trying to do now is

  • provide the context for what those stories mean

  • and how they affect where the conversation is going

  • because there were three incidents that took place recently

  • and I don't think you have to be a rocket scientist

  • to draw the lines between these people

  • and the rhetoric that is being parroted by

  • the president of the United States right now.

  • You know?

  • (audience clapping)

  • And understand that we live in a very difficult time

  • in space where we have to be careful

  • to not jump and say you made this happen Donald Trump

  • but we can also live in a space where we say

  • as humans but as president we would hope

  • that you would try to avoid or dissuade people

  • from doing the same things

  • but if anything it seems like his message

  • post that has been this is not my fault,

  • I have nothing to do with any of this

  • and if anything the media is to blame

  • because they're the enemy of the people.

  • They report certain stories that I don't believe are true

  • and so they're at fault and his message really was

  • we need to come together under my rules.

  • That's what he preaches when he preaches unity.

  • You know what I mean?

  • Trump's not saying let's come together.

  • He's like, let's come together in the same way

  • aliens come to earth and they're like let's come together

  • as we pillage the entire earth.

  • That's the way they do it. You know what I mean?

  • It's like we come in peace but with you it's war.

  • It's like that type of thing.
