How liberal comedians became lap dogs for establishment power w/Lee Camp | The Chris Hedges Report

1. I don't think you're being all that fair to Bill Maher.

2. REPUBLICAN bla,bla,bla. 👀

3. You have seen Trump haven't you?

4. You had me until you started getting to woke in comedy.. People have the right to walk out, but ultimately comedy has but one job and that is to be funny. Societal mores and common sense will decide what is funny or objectionable and the market will bear the outcome which will ultimately decide whether the comedian can work or not, not mandates at any level….period.

5. It's all about the green backs baby !

6. 🙏

7. LEE CAMP!

8. Maher stopped being funny or of value around 2012

9. I remember seeing on youtube Seth Meyers bringing on Hilary Clinton onto his show. Meyers is an establishment shill who pretends he is edgy and brings on Clinton who supported both the 2003 Iraq war and attacking Libya in 2011

10. I’m 10000% sure he’s never watched the Dave Chappelle specials 🤣

11. Lee Camp has a lot of bad takes. Dave Chappell is one. Has Lee even seen the Chapelle specials if he did I can’t respect him as a critical thinker.

12. Agree with everything Hedges said regarding liberal comedians supporting the establishment.

13. Good interview. Lee Camp, thank you for being concise.

14. No, he obviously hasn’t looked too closely into the trans issue, or been affected by it, to dismiss it as some kind of weird obsession for Chappelle. It’s one of the biggest moral and social issues of our time, which he’ll figure out eventually I guess.

15. B. Maher is just smug..not really funny

16. Matthew = 10 : 26 …….

17. Thanks to The Real News for Chris Hedges

    I've been following The Real News since the early 2000s and find that so many of the stories are told from MY perspective, not what I SHOULD believe

    But most of all, thank you for keeping Chris Hedges on the air.

    He is one of the most important American journalists today in history and despite all that's been done to silence him, thanks to you I can still hear his voice.

    Bravo 👏

18. One of my favorite comedy bits ever was Bill Hicks on the US President's first day in office.

    It hits so hard and he could never get away with it today

19. Cancel Culture = Digital Public Execution without a trial

20. Comedy hits best when it makes us self reflect and when we do, we laugh at our own absurdity

    The woke cannot self reflect and therefore cannot comprehend comedy. They take a joke about them and become offended because they are shown publicly how absurd they are and can't laugh at themselves.

    If you can't laugh at yourself, you have no business pointing fingers or laughing at anyone else. You need therapy, not social media.

21. Dave's comedy is anti trans?

    Feel like trying to critique his comedy is low key racist.

    Let's just all throw around labels and assume dumb shit.
    Lmao.

    Lee Camp reporting was on point, his comdey was mostly garbage and his show came off corny because of it.

22. Money?

23. Chappelle is making a point that no shield is too sensitive by telling the trans jokes. That’s how i interpret it. Dude looks like zelensky..that kinda sucks.

24. Laughter is the best medicine.

25. I thought it was really interesting how Denis Miller and his talk show was immediately gone right at the beginning the Bush administration. They shut him up…and wasn't he Republican?

26. I remember the first time Al Franken got in trouble with the establishment. He said something that landed him in hot water and his out was, " it was satire" . Lol exact words, and with that he got off.

27. Ugh. a show starting w/ the negro blues from midcentury w/footage from 1930s/40s hosted by the white man. Spectacular

28. The Daily Show became propaganda very quickly

29. Actually, Molly Ivens was a comedian of a savage sort, while not making her career on stage as a stand-up comic. Art Buchwald was a similar sort of individual as well. This satire helped lay the groundwork for these later comedians to tackle current political issues.

30. Jon Stewart is still on point. Sadly, he's a freak outlier…

31. The Israel-Palestine conflict is complex, and there are valid arguments on both sides. Supporters of Israel often emphasize its right to exist as a sovereign state and its need for security due to past conflicts. On the other hand, supporters of the Palestinian cause highlight the need for self-determination and an end to occupation, as well as the humanitarian impact of the conflict on Palestinian civilians. Constructive dialogue and a peaceful resolution are essential to address this longstanding issue.

32. George Carlin would never have sold out.

33. Steven Cobert is in danger if I ever meet him

34. Colbert has become "marketable" to the masses. Essentially impotent.

35. Yes, Bill Maher is a lapdog for the establishment. The thumbnail was spot on.

36. Lee Camp, stay woke and go broke.

37. I wish Lee Camp could’ve provided at least one specific example of so-called woke culture being damaging to comedy. Otherwise, this was an insightful and stimulating conversation.

38. And they still are. They still pretend the steele dossier was real. Leftists hate truth, beauty, freedom and the human spirit.

39. This video was brought to you by Pfizer

40. No one watches late night- No one. Unless it’s reruns on as shole You+ube
