[laughter] it is rude to. it's like asking the maitre d' of a restaurant directions to another restaurant. it's like going up to the hostess at applebee's and saying excuse me, do you know a place that offers mainstream american dishes served in a casual dining atmosphere, that offers delicious appetizers and no, not you. that's mexico. everyone walking right on through like it's the hosiery department at macy's. him you always had to go through there to get to someplace good to. it's more demoralizing than not getting a rose on the bachelor, just ask cat. we don't just have inflation, we have hyperinflation. i asked larry kudlow what it was and he said it's inflation but hyper.

[cheers and applause] i was born! it's my birthday week, i'm turning 33. a 33-year-old, it's not the same as a man turning 33. 8:30 3-year-old man is a young guy with his life ahead of him. turning 33 as a woman, people are already saying stuff to me like you look great for your age. it's not a complement to. him >> greg: it isn't. >> it's saying you look a lot less close to death than you actually are. tell me i look like [bleep] it's a lot nicer. there are worse things about being a woman, i don't hate men. >> greg: thank god for that. that's a low bar. matt, welcome to the show, do you think this is a distraction on purpose or do they believe this is the relevant urgent matter they have to go after right now? >> you see all these basic problems people have and they have been helping people around the globe, i guess they're going to create kind of an even playing field amongst the genders which they don't even believe in by making sure that men keep dying of covid by keeping tony fauci in charge of the whole thing. >> greg: i didn't even know those stats until i looked them up this morning. i thought it would be slightly, maybe there's a 3% -- 50% globally? that seems to me, joe, like a pretty big story that somebody like you in a tasteful beard would be interested in. >> a lot of it is because men don't complain about these things and i'm trying to change that by complaining constantly about everything. >> it's scary to see this is the kind of distraction, of course they are creating a distraction, pete buttigieg didn't go to work too much, he was home breastfeeding and no one noticed he was gone. i look at that like that shows you not only is he not up to the job, his job might not be that important. if my super puts up a sign that says back in 5 minutes the entire apartment building collapses. he's a guy who knows how to do things. these people don't know how to do anything and somehow they are in charge, it's really, really scary. >> greg: it's scary because of the 10% of the day they are supposed to be working, even working 10% is destructive. i would rather have them do nothing. but unfortunately they are flying to scotland for climate change, they are sending so many people to scotland, it's amazing, the numbers. to get out of the united states, i guess. tyrus, where do you sit on this issue? >> i sit wherever i want to. i'm glad you brought this stat up because men, we have to start being more equal. i'm serious, because these deaths are exactly the reason why the next time you hear a sound downstairs, honey, your turn. men have been convinced, who runs into the fire to save the baby? the guy. who breaks in the house? the guy. tobit is out there, but i really want my ice cream, who goes to get it? the guy. of course we get killed more because we get talked into stuff and if we question it, they are like really? i thought you were a real man. and we fall for this all the time. i would like to say, fellas, let's start sharing the wealth. next time we hear a loud voice in my house, i'm like you're up dear. in pete buttigieg 's defense, it takes about two months to get a pump on a man, have some decorum and respect. >> greg: i think you owe him an apology. him >> i think tyrus makes a good point, that's why there's no female version of when people say man up. >> women are too smart. >> i don't do anything, i don't even clean. >> greg: i feel we are in danger of turning this into an encounter group your go >> we have tried interventions with you, it doesn't work. >> greg: that is true. up next, wokesters label dave chapelle a bully and demand he be canceled fully. just let it . go with simparica trio it's triple protection made simple! simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable that covers heartworm disease, ticks and fleas, round and hookworms. dogs get triple protection in just one simparica trio! this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures. use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio. up to one million dollars. that's how much university of phoenix is committing to create 400 scholarships this month alone. because we believe everybody deserves a chance. see what scholarships you may qualify for at phoenix.edu align. fast acting biotic gummies helps soothes occasional abdominal discomfort, see what scholarships you may qualify for gas, and bloating and it works fast. in as little as 7 days try fast acting biotic gummies from align. the #1 doctor recommended probiotic brand. ♪ ♪ >> greg: they want to control his thinking, but dave chapelle isn't blinking. the comedian sticks to his guns bending free speech, comedy, and fun. he's addressing the protest over his new stand-up special in his comments about the transgender community. that's after netflix employees staged a walkout last week which was attended by tens of people. i've seen more people in hammer's hot tub. plus a few animals. it's been said in the press he has been invited to speak to the transgender employees netflix and he refused. >> it's been said in the press that i was invited to speak to transgender employees of netflix and i refused. that is not true. if they had invited me, i would have accepted it, although i am confused about what we are speaking about. i said what i said and boy, i heard what you said to. my god, how could i not >> president biden: you said you want a safe working environment, it seems like i am the only one who can't go to the office anymore. >> greg: if he walked they would treat him like an active shooter. he revealed his documentary has been expelled from film festivals. >> the film i made was invited to every film festival in the united states and some of those invitations i accepted to. when this controversy came out about the closer, they began this inviting me from these film festivals. and now, today, not a film company, not a movie studio, not a film festival, nobody will touch this film. thank god for netflix, he's the only one who didn't cancel me yet. >> then he spoke directly to the trans community, he said if he wants to meet with them he's more than willing to he has some conditions. >> if you want to meet with me, i would be more than willing to. but i have some conditions. first of all, you cannot come if you have not watched my special from beginning to end. you must come to a place of my choosing, and a time of my choosing. and third, you must admit that hannah gatsby is not funny. >> greg: that's funny because it's true. she denounced the netflix special and i'm told she has a few netflix specials, they are the only specials with a trigger warning that reads "will not induce laughter." was that fair? she is not unfunny, or is she? >> we've heard from people who can't take a joke, now we've heard from someone who can't tell one. when her special came out, they actually tried to say oh, no, this is a different kind of comedy. i had all these messages people were sending me saying, he doesn't have to get laughs, comedy doesn't have to be entertaining. finally i had to block joe mackie. one more thing about this netflix protest, there were so few people there they weren't even worried about covid rules. a dozen people, you can tell because the cameras -- any closer those cameras would be performing a colonoscopy. don't fall for what they are saying, they don't represent a large group of any people, let alone this community they are talking about. >> greg: whenever you see any news stories where the camera close up for a group, that tells you there is no group. tyrus, is this all part of a brilliant rollout of his special? he turned his adversaries into publicists. so many people know more about this than anybody. >> i would think, maybe, but chappelle is one of those brother is not driven by money and fame, he walked away from $50 million and i can't see him putting himself through this, his family through this just to get you to watch because they are going to show up to watch. i think what needs to happen is some of us have to come forward, i think it's time i came forward to. i wrote the jokes, i'm sorry. that was me, i can't let chappelle take all the heat anymore, i did that, come get me. they go after him so hard and they push so hard, that he was transphobic and attacking people, they try to compare it to other things. and i for one was like when do i get my turn to complain about dave chapelle? all the light-skinned brother jokes made over the years, i was talking about how handsome we are and we get the jobs and the girls, it's unbelievably upsetting. you know how many times he said the n-word on tv? because he's black, he gets a pass? you give me my platform so we can go after him. another thing that is really great and i wish when we talk about a group coming after you as people who are saying it's causing hate. one of the things i enjoy about when they had clan meetings, at the end of every meeting they talked about getting rid of all the dash from the neighborhood, it was about setting up a scholarship fund for minority children, that's what dave chapelle did to the woman who passed away, he got a scholarship for her children. that's normally what you do when you want to hate a group, you pay for the kids to go to college. >> greg: you watch the special, that's what he ends up doing. what do you make of this? >> i feel like the only good thing about chinese corona, the pandemic is a lot of us watched a lot of television. all of these controversies came out about what's on and what's not on and you know what the best tv show of all was or whatever for those of you who had kids, we got to listen to what's going on in the classrooms. that's why this firestorm is going on in virginia. i say to dave chapelle and to you, it's nice to have comedy that is funny. i think if the country could laugh a little bit, maybe we would get better. >> greg: he's got the money, what he's doing is what jerry seinfeld should have done, other people with half a billion dollars, he's doing it to protect people who could be canceled or don't have the money or the will. >> i can't imagine having money and never saying [bleep]. >> greg: you just said it twice and you don't have that money. >> i don't have that money. >> you must have f you money if you are going to say f you. >> he's only going to meet with certain trans people, you mean he's treating trans people like individuals? he's saying the same thing, i would have trans friends if they are funny people but we do that all the time with each other. you're supposed to treat other people as individuals regardless of gender, race, isn't that what we are supposed to be doing?

[applause] is this a safe prediction, that he would probably not engage you in the same manner that he engaged condoleezza rice? if he was on this show and the topic was broached, do you think he might operate in the same vein with you? or what he may be think about it? >> i don't know. before we even engage, i would ask for a hug. i think it's important to hug it out. just to make sure you're okay and then just let him go. >> i don't know if i've ever seen you hug anyone. >> there's a reason for that, i don't know when to stop. i got that lenny syndrome -- i broke the jerk from msnbc. he don't move no more. your point was so all in all i can really do is tag onto it. him he is so thirsty. >> greg: that's what it is. >> i say this to my homies all the time it's not that white people are coming after your career and trying to destroy you. it's this brother, you know how many hurdles she went through from the time she was a young girl to get where she was? if there was anybody who has actual street cred to talk about racism and what's good for children, it would be condoleezza rice. at some point she might end up being the commissioner of the nfl, that's how powerful and smart she is. you laugh but it's true. if you know anything about her, football is her thing. she could be the next commissioner of the nfl, that's how good she is at telling it how it is and for someone like this broke brother right here in pinstripes, he would do anything. you were going to call her a soldier, they don't have an army. if they really had an army, they would be knocking on your door like what are you doing putting a black woman in charge of us? get your [bleep] outside. >> greg: he could probably break bread with white racists given his mentality, the way he thinks. >> i want to go back to what tyra said, if there was a loud, scary noise in the middle of the night, i have a feeling she's going. >> she would, yeah. while he texts about it, just tweet it. him >> greg: he will write a five page essay about why he didn't go downstairs, because it was probably oppressive. >> what's great about dr. rice is that at this moment whenever thing is racism, everything is about the left creating hostility, i don't know how she is. she sat in that studio in the view, it takes a special kind of -- you know what she held? there's several million views on that video already, everyone is thirsting for someone to tell us that's not all about race. >> greg: that's a good thirst. have you ever met him? him icing his name right? >> i never met him, no, anything else? [laughter] what's an nfl commissioner? is at the same thing as a roger gravelle. now that we've solved that, let me weigh in on what it means to be black in america. >> you're doing great. >> no one more qualified than me. the whole point is she didn't say what he says that she said. i can weigh in on that. he said that she said we shouldn't be teaching history as it happens, we should be whitewashing it so that specifically white kids don't feel bad. she did say that. she said we shouldn't make white kids feel bad on purpose just because they are white, and we shouldn't make a black kids disempowered because they are black. i think it's always better when you say something said something make sure they did. >> greg: he took the worst intention of what he thought he heard. that's what everybody does on twitter too. it's what they thought they heard, it's what they said to. >> that's why we are so great. >> they come in with the argument ready even if that wasn't with the other person already said to. you have to hand it to white supremacy, the most diverse organization. it's got such known white supremacist as condoleezza rice, dave chapelle, larry elder. if you look at white supremacy, it has all these black people in it, it's got asians, it's starting to look like a punk band from the 70s. you have a black guy on base and a couple jewish guys playing in the horn section. >> greg: coming up, they tried to stop him poking fun and now his song is number one. this is art inspired by real stories of people living with bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark place... ...and be hard to manage. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients on latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be life threatening... ...or uncontrollable muscle movements, as these may be permanent. these are not all the serious side effects. now i'm back where i belong. ask your doctor about latuda and pay as little as $0 for your first prescription. as someone who resembles someone else, i appreciate that and liberty mutualas $0 knows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. oh, yeah. that's the spot. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ regina approaches the all-electric cadillac lyriq. it's a sunny day. nah, a stormy day. classical music plays. um uh, brass band, new orleans. ♪ ♪ she drives hands free... along the coast. make it palm springs. ♪ cadillac is going electric. if you want to be bold, you have to go off-script. experience the all-electric cadillac lyriq. i always wanted to know more about my grandfather. he...was a hardworking man who came to new york from puerto rico when he was 17. with ancestry, being able to put the pieces of the puzzle together... ...it's amazing. it's honestly amazing. ♪ ♪ >> greg: our internet overlords are demanding we stop rapping let's go brandon. his anti-biden rap song let's go brandon had been abandoned by u2 for medical misinformation, it reached the number one spot on itunes. check it out. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ if that does medical misinformation, it's a lot catchier than the fauci documentary. to be fair, the song did make other, more controversial claims that i don't agree with flexing the pandemic isn't real, that's false, dr. fauci funded its creation in a lab. it's not like this would've been the only rap song on youtube with claims that i don't agree with and you probably agree. i certainly don't think all bitches are hose. how did youtube do?

i don't think you expected it to be that way, did you? >> i think the fact that we had you on at 3:00 a.m. might've had something to do with the confidence factor. thanks for having me here, congratulations on all your success. red eye turned into something that other people have tried to emulate and they can't do it and what you are doing now is wild and crazy and wonderful. >> greg: thank you. i'll never forget the first thing you said after i accepted the job, you said get ready to lose all your friends because you said that to me and you are right! >> i was clairvoyant. >> greg: tell me about the book. it's a work of fiction but it's basically what you would say ripped from the headlines, correct?
