exactly the same, prisoners of conformity, which is always the sworn enemy of art. step out of line and you pay the price, as dave chapelle, who is a genius, learned when he returned from a tyrant long ago and dared to gore a sacred cow or two. that used to be what comedians did and we were grateful to hear someone tell the truth. now, they are booed off the stage for daring to do that. humor is dead. politics killed it. ben kessel is a comedian. he joins us to mourn. ben, i know we are not on the same side politically, i doubt any comedian agrees with my politics. but i think you ll agree, kathy griffin is just not funny. i know a lot of people who work in comedy, i don t know one person who thinks kathy griffin is talented. she s not. yet, she is hung on all these years because she is a political activist. that s enough. it shouldn t be enough. i am not to the core demographic for kathy griffin or her fan base her fan base and enjoys her. there s something to be said about that.

what, lawrence, the one silver lining here in all this and the reason why i hesitated to agree with you, that at 11:59 we could be staring at a government shutdown i don t know. is because with president trump, what he says on monday could be completely contradicted by himself on tuesday. and so we could see a situation where he make as deal and the government stays open. what that looks like, i have no idea. i don t either. i m not sitting here saying what s going to happen on the budget. the big wildcard, eli, as always, is donald trump. we don t know what he means, what he doesn t mean. but it s hard to imagine him creating that government shutdown at midnight over a trump issue like the wall or any trump issue in the bill. yeah. i mean, you go back to health care and you heard the way he spoke about it earlier today, the way he said it s great,
