Ep. 1870 - Dave Chappelle Tries To Win Back The Left's Favor By Celebrating Murder
Summary
The host argues that Dave Chappelle has abandoned comedy for political preaching, citing his recent Madison Square Garden performance where he expressed satisfaction over Charlie Kirk's assassination. The episode contrasts this with Chappelle's previous somber reaction to George Floyd's death, asserting that the two situations are not comparable due to Floyd's criminal history versus Kirk's innocence.
