week. because the news is really boring right now and he had to come up with something. greg: tonight monologue, evil. yeah. an uplifting topic, right? it was either evil or this. you re the guy who said gonorrhea was more worse than the cold. i ll bet you never have a cold that felt just like that, did you? i must ve got it on the toilet seat. that s a hell of a place to take a girl. greg: i love that! yeah, i will take evil. evil obviously exists but does calling people evil help you win an argument? or is it like me after three afro sports is, just too easy? and really, when someone does something awful, just saying it s evil won t stop it. i mean, the view is in its 25th year. [scattered laughter] greg: i kid. they aren t evil, they re just wrong. so what is evil? well, communists are evil, fascists are evil. cats are evil. especially that one. when you get in a debate about stuff, such evil branding sucks. the left will often call you evil to end conversa
not, he s just dumb as a block of wood. who else is evil? well, the person who invented double stuffed oreos, that s for sure. in the guy at the gym who filled my speedo with nair. now i have to do my pole dancing in jeans. why did i sign up for those classes? and people, they called me evil too, which is hard to believe. i m so lovable it hurts. at least for seven to ten days and then it goes away. but i certainly don t think i m evil, so it stands to reason the people i call evil don t consider themselves evil either. if you ask lucifer himself if he was evil, he would probably be like hey, i m noting at the beach, but i m no joy reid either. [scattered laughter] so liberals aren t evil even if they think we are. it s the key difference that charles krauthammer noted first. we think they are wrong, they think we are evil. it is something to remember when you re trying to persuade people. as russia invaded ukraine, we
called putin evil, what does he think he s evil? no, he just things he s working on behalf of mother russia will kill anyone to do it. hell, he violated international law and those short was horseback photos were a crime against amenity. is george soros evil? maybe. maybe not. but really, what if he s just dumb? i mean, does this guy really think more murders is a good thing? maybe he s just a psychopath like so many corporate heads. not ours though. they re the best. please give my puppy back. but the idea that he s a batman villain makes it easier to categorize him. the he s evil argument saves time and energy. mass shooters they are evil. but that s just the first step in that problem. what made them evil? drugs, isolation, mental illness and culture that applauds violence, media coverage? brian kilmeade last book to [scattered laughter] the point, calling someone evil can be accurate but it blunts
throw that out there, right? because words don t really mean anything anymore. it s just bizarre how everything is the worst i ve ever seen. everything is the most horrible situation i ve ever seen. that s the most evil person i mean, look how quickly we refer to people as nazis nowadays ever used to be a firewall there because people had along of memory and it was in recent enough history that they understood evil of that was. and so now we are kind of off the plantation, but yes, evil does exist, but more often than not you won t see it coming. greg: good point. i m sorry you weren t able to wash the blood stains out of your shirt. [scattered laughter] you know, do you think we weaken the word by using it so much? especially in conversation. of course we do. i mean, look, to mike s point about evil being the nazi for less and hitler, it s a shortcut to shut people down to go ad hominem and not have civil
we need a corner what you call, timeout space? you would never get through the monologue. greg: but a guest has to go and sit over there for one segment. you need a penalty box. you give me an idea in spite of yourself. kat, are you evil? no. greg: what is evil? yeah, i mean i guess evil is a bad, evil person, right? like hitler is evil. when you throw the word around though, if you re going to be nice to people, you re going to get more out of them, which is why the audience is going to let me mark because i said they were good looking and you called them dumb, which is why if anyone ever abducted me, most people scream, but what i would do is be like you picked me? what did you like about me that you didn t like about all the other girls? [laughter] and then maybe we just hang out. greg: you become very clingy. yeah! it throw me out of the van!
