🎵 Here's Nick.
What a great show tonight.
Burt Reynolds.
Burt Reynolds.
Connie Chung.
And Steve McQueen.
With a young comedian.
Very funny Jew out of New York.
Robert Klein.
My favorite comic, by the way.
Up there with my favorites. Robert Klein. That surprises comic, by the way. Up there with my favorites.
Robert Klein.
That surprises a lot of people.
But tickles my funny bone, man.
Tickles it.
How are you, folks?
Great to be with you on the last day of the week, for us at least.
This show is entirely funded by you guys.
I want to thank you for that.
Encourage you to go to nickdip.com, it says.
But I think they mean com,
and click on the red text at the top of the page to make a contribution.
You'll get your name read here on the show, but more importantly,
you'll be supporting free speech in a form for people like you and I to tell it like it is.
That's nickdip.com, and thank you guys as always.
I'm happy because it's Thursday.
Why?
This is what a sports junkie.
I never quit that shit.
I've been in this since I was six.
Even with all the PC shit, I can't help it,
which means I probably have no life.
But I'm just saying, yesterday, there's two days in the year
where there was no pro sports at all.
You people who are sports fans, you know the answer.
The day before the All-Star game, no, you don't count home run derby.
And the day after the baseball All-Star game.
That's it.
I get very nervous on those days.
And that's sad.
So I started a lesbian softball league here in Savannah.
That's right.
There's no licking in baseball.
Only two games in the year.
Two games a year.
I don't know what that means, but it sounds funny.
What?
You heard him.
Now, why is it two games a year?
Before and after the All-Star.
Oh, that's a good idea.
That's all they should play.
That should be the WNBA.
That's what they should give them. That way they can't complain. Nobody's watching us,
and you'll have ratings, and you still won't have ratings, because sports fans will go to
the goddamn ID network. I'm getting scared, man. Here's my pattern lately. Again, since I hit 60,
I swear to God, you can tell it different.
I come home.
This is a guy who could never nap, not even five years ago.
All of a sudden, maybe it's COVID still hanging around.
I come home.
Again, I've fallen into this trap where I stay up.
I fall asleep in the afternoon.
I'm not talking 45-minute nap.
I'm talking a good two and a half hours.
Now I'm fucked.
Last night, it's 3.15, and I'm fucking sitting in my chair watching another ID network murder
of some old lady that I would have killed myself.
I hated her so much.
And then what happens?
Now I'm exhausted.
When I get up to Dallas.
How many times this week did I say I was going to work out?
Every day and I haven't.
Don't have the bucket.
Now I'm exhausted.
Last night, 335, I'm looking at my phone, reading about rape stories in fucking Libya and shit.
So fun.
I love the world.
Anyways, let's get on with this stupid thing.
Joe is a cancer.
Not Joe has cancer. Joe is a cancer. You guys
see him yesterday? The gaffs keep a coming. This poor prick is, he just, it's, I'll say it again.
How can the wife sit there and watch this poor bastard being, and you know what? Everybody's
had it with CNN's ganging up on him. I actually read a quote. I think it's in today's one of the stories I'm doing. It says about Joe's mental.
That was reported by CNN and Fox News.
When do you hear that?
That's how you know things are changing.
President Biden said Wednesday that he has cancer.
I was sitting home doing this.
No, I'm kidding.
Forcing the White House press office to quickly clarify.
Once again, clean up on Al Biden.
Quickly clarify that he was referring to skin cancer treatment that he had before taking office last year.
It's so stupid.
It's so stupid.
So much stupid.
The remark initially appeared to be a stunningly casual health announcement during a speech about global warming in which the president described emissions from oil refineries near his childhood home in Claymont, Delaware.
And here he is just, again, slipping in that he has kids.
This is Somerset, Massachusetts, it said in the picture,
which is towards the Cape, I believe.
I've knocked doors.
Remember I sold steak and seafood and raped small children?
I was doing it.
I joke, everybody.
Cut the shit.
But that's, anyways, they pick a landfill.
Just look how bad the environment.
Who do you think you're fooling, you dinkweed?
Listen to asshole.
They had to put on their windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window.
That's why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer.
You're lying.
And you're a piece of shit.
The whole press went, huh?
What?
Did you notice he said
present tense?
I have cancer.
It's unclear why Biden
chose to use
present verb tense.
It is unclear.
He's fucking up.
I'll explain it to you right now.
I think your brain is going soft.
There you go.
It's already spread to the cerebellum.
It's a girlfriend I used to cerebell soft. There you go. It's already spread to the cerebellum.
That's a girlfriend I used to... Cerebellum.
What a parrot.
Remember Cerebellum, folks?
Movie star in the 50s.
It's unclear why Biden chose to use the present verb tense
to describe his experience with cancer.
Again, because he's in his late thousands and...
Poor bastard.
He said, I have cancer in the present tense,
you absolute dipshit.
That's not me.
Greg Price of X Strategies LLC tweeted
in response to the spokesman, I guess,
Biden spokesman, Mr. Kessler.
Anarchist author Michael Malice, meanwhile, joked,
don't worry about Joe Biden having cancer.
He's married to a doctor.
I've made that joke a hundred times. Referring to the fact, meanwhile, joked, don't worry about Joe Biden having cancer. He's married to a doctor. I've made that joke a hundred times.
Referring to the fact, look, this is him looking at his approval ratings.
Referring to the fact that First Lady Jill Biden used the honorific doctor to note her 2007 doctorate in education.
She's a gym teacher with a wig.
Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who I used to play
basketball with. How creepy is this guy? If this guy's not a doctor on an infomercial, he looks
like, watching the ID network, he looks like a guy who's pretending to be a doctor, a gynecologist
like in Aurora, Illinois. He just looks phony to me. He issued a health report last year that didn't refer to the president as suffering from any current cancers.
O'Connor's report attributed Biden's skin cancer to time in the sun and smoking crack with the sun in China.
Rather than exposure to chemicals used by the oil industry.
Just fucking lie.
They write the script for him, push him out there.
Go ahead, Hannibal.
When the oil touches your nipples, does it tingle?
Can you get, can you smell the tingling?
Can you smell the lambs?
That oil on your tits make you look like a cheap rube.
There are no areas suspicious for skin cancer at this time.
Here he is.
Joe last weekend at Beach in Delaware did get a little too much sun.
Oh, goodness gracious Eloise.
All right.
We're going from Joe Biden to his brilliant son, who I got to be honest with you, Hunter.
I got to be honest.
Look, I know he's entitled spoiled brat, whatever, but he's doing what I think I'd be doing.
There's worse things than loving coke and whores.
You know what I mean?
What if he was a fucking gay choreographer?
I'm kidding. I didn't mean that. You know I dated a gay choreographer? I'm kidding.
I didn't mean that.
You know I dated a gay choreographer at high school.
Kevin McClain.
Anyways, Hunter being hunted.
Hunter Biden, 52 years old, going on 150,
could face charges related to possible tax violations
or, more seriously, foreign lobbying violations. Fox News and CNN
reported. You see what I'm saying? They want the Bidens out. The possible charges stem from a
probe into Hunter Biden's finances and overseas business deals, which is being conducted by
Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a prosecutor. Now, can't just hold on a second.
Now, can't the president just pick up the phone and say, if you don't leave my son alone,
you're going to find your kids in a dumpster?
Yeah, exactly.
David Weiss, a prosecutor appointed by former President Donald Trump.
Weiss and the Justice Department have reached a point
in the investigation in which they are looking
into the possibility of charging President Biden's son
with various tax violations
and or foreign lobbying violations,
sources told the goddamn outlets.
Give me a-
I say this calls for action and now.
Yeah, it does.
Can I just say, don't hold your breath?
Don't hold...
First of all, he said...
Are we going to fall for this again?
Somebody at that level, a Democrat,
breaking the law is going to pay for it?
Stop.
And here's what the Republicans...
Stop doing this to us, you phony pricks.
Nothing's going to happen to either one of them.
I'll bet my ass on it.
Oh, maybe you're fine.
Yeah, fine.
Guys, the Chinese are sending them $4 million a month.
The fine will be like $50 like he spit on the sidewalk.
They are also eyeing a possible false statement charge related to Hunter Biden's firearm purchase.
Remember, he lied to you on drugs and shit,
whatever the question was.
Hunter Biden recently cut the IRS a check
for about $2 million in recognition
that he had unpaid tax bills.
That guy, that guy made so much money.
He had a $2 million tax bill.
This guy sitting in the goddamn tub with a cigarette,
the body of a 78-year-old.
I got to be, he would be a blast to hang out with if I wasn't married.
Nick, what are you, a pussy whip?
You could say that.
His business endeavors brought him to work with Chinese and Russian businessmen.
What's the matter, the Saudis not too busy? And several of his foreign transactions have been marked suspicious by financial institutions.
Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
That goody oldie. The filings known as suspicious activity reports. I used to get these from Chase Bank all the time.
I'd come back from Yuck Yucks, an $11 bill.
11 total, deposit of $11.
We have to look into this.
Guy can't be making that little talent comedy.
I've seen him on HBO twice.
The filings known as suspicious activity reports do not mark criminality.
However, SARS may well be part of a money laundering or tax investigation.
Looks like Joe Biden saw this coming before it all went public and made some moves to protect his son and maybe himself.
Let's check out the video.
I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Well, we've discovered that Hunter Biden had 150 suspicious activity reports filed against various bank accounts.
Any member of Congress could request suspicious activity reports from Treasury.
Once Joe Biden came in office, before it became public that Hunter had all these bank violations, he changed the rules where no member of Congress can have access to suspicious activity reports.
Who's doing that?
Specifically, it would be Janet Yellen, because you go to the top.
Janet Yellen, because you go to the top. Janet Yellen, head treasury.
You know, the one that looks like Newt Gingrich going through transition.
That goes in there, too.
Biden, see, he changed the rules because he knew that's an admission, you son's dirty.
Changed the rules so no, you know, no Congress people could bust his balls about it.
Weeks after the 2020 presidential election, Hunter Biden acknowledged that there was an
ongoing federal investigation of his tax affairs. House and Senate Republicans have said they plan
to launch their own probe. Nobody cares anymore. You guys are just phony. We're not buying it.
Their own probe into the president's possible involvement if they retake Congress in November's midterm election. So once again, Biden's going to get away with
another one. You go fuck yourself, convict. Dear guys, don't fall for it. They'll do hearings.
That's how they look busy. It makes them look busy on your behalf when they're all on the same team.
Don't fall for it again.
Nobody's going to jail.
Hey, guys.

I love Q&A.
I can be way
funnier. As somebody once said, a comic, Kelly Rogers, way before you guys probably don't know
who he is, but he did the Tonight Show quite a few times. He said, my act is what I do,
and I'm not being funny. That's how I, best statement by a comic ever. You can get tickets to all these shows at nickdip.com or davatel.org. What? No.
Can I just repeat a David Tell joke? When he comes on the radio, it's like hearing the stones. I
turn it up. It makes me laugh so hard. So I was at a bar the other night, and I said to a girl,
you want a Tic Tac? And she's like, why? Why? Do I have bad breath? Do I need one? Dave goes, no. If I was going to tell you
you needed something, it would be mustache wax and a t-shirt that says one cock at a time.
God, I wish I thought of that. That's a quintessential Attell joke. One funny Jew.
Oh, excuse me, Suzanne. Are you tuned in today? This is a great story.
I don't know why everybody didn't open with it.
Oh, that's right.
It's positive.
Delivery man delivers big.
The GoFundMe for an Indiana pizza delivery man who saved four children and their 18-year-old
sister from a burning home last week has raised nearly a half million dollars as of Wednesday morning,
which it's perfect.
Are you interested in the real story?
Yeah, tell me what happened.
Because when I read the headline, I went, did anybody check this out?
There's always people now setting up GoFundMe.
Look at my kids got cancer.
Meanwhile, they don't have a kid. It's a chihuahua. They got a bonnet on it and put a tube in its chest.
And people send like a hundred grand. Nick Bostick's cousin, Richard Dick Bostick.
That's him in the middle. No. Created a GoFundMe page to help raise funds for the heroic pizza delivery drivers.
So it's a cousin of the hero right that set up the
go for me page uh delivery drivers recovery after he suffered cuts burns and blisters and they
on his legs and arms the page has raised 453 509 as of early wednesday and again i i heard this and
me being this jaded ass i am and But sure enough, they had a body cam
and checked us out.
Goddamn impressive.
That ain't no police fire.
Come here.
Come here.
Are you Zadion?
Look at that.
It's everybody.
Come on, come on, come on.
We met it.
Come with me, man.
Come with me.
Come with me.
We gotta get away from the house.
Hey, we gotta get away from the house, okay? Hey, give me a break, I just saved somebody.
Look at the burns on his face, yeah man.
You can see the blisters.
Is the baby okay?
Please tell me the baby's okay.
Yeah, we're good.
Yeah, she's okay.

Yeah, you're okay.
You did good dude, okay? Please tell me that baby's okay. Yeah, we're good. Yeah, she's okay.
A hundred percent?
Yeah, you're okay.
You did good, dude.
Okay?
Unbelievable.
Cop goes,
you did good, dude.
I would've been like,
where the fuck were you?
At the furniture.
No,
that's unbelievable, man.
I gotta be honest,
I would've pedaled by
and went, ooh,
somebody's lighting farts at Johnson's house. I would have peddled by went ooh. Somebody's lighting far to Johnson's house. I
Would have showed no balls whatsoever. No, I would have
filmed it too
Is that not impressive the pizza delivery guy
We were the pair. I don't know
This kid is the real deal Richard wrote the cousin on the page.
Sadly, he has some serious injuries and will need help during his recovery.
Look at this.
I thought that was Hunter taking a nap at the Four Seasons after a rough night.
Bostick, who delivers pizza around Lafayette, suffered the injuries around 1230 a.m. on July 11th.
While he was able
to lead the teen and three of the children out of the burning home, Bostock ran back into the flames
and fought heavy smoke to search for a six-year-old child who was still inside. He eventually found
her and carried her out through a window. Unbelievable, man. This guy, i guess he was on uh america's newsroom or some show yes
his injuries required treatment for several days uh at a hospital but how impressive is that he was
the best guy around he was oh boy is this great god bless you man, I want to hear from the parents.
Are they home?
I mean, no, they didn't have to be home.
There was a teen in the house.
But I'm just saying, I want to hear them thanking the guy.
I heard, I don't know if it's true, they tipped him five bucks for what he did.
They said the pizza was burnt.
He said they were going to give him 10,
but the crust was burnt with schmitherines.
First Amendment shutdown at First Avenue Theater for Dave Chappelle.
Jesus.
It is, it is.
We've done a lot of Chappelle, and you know how I feel about it.
I love him.
I think he's as good as anybody I feel about him. I love him.
I think he's as good as anybody to ever do this.
Smart, funny.
Yeah, once in a while he hates Whitey, but who don't?
I hate right back.
That's why Dave Chappelle's Minnesota Comedy Show will go on Wednesday night just at a
different venue.
Why?
Because, you know, people call these trans people and these LGBTs, we call you faggots
for years, and I think we had it right.
Really see what pussies you are. Really, you're afraid of life. You make up shit, you call words
dangerous, and they hurt, and I'm sorry. Just hours ahead of the controversial 48-year-old
funnyman set, the First Avenue Concert Venue in Minneapolis announced that the show would be moved to Varsity Theater,
also in the city, where Chappelle is also scheduled to perform on Thursday and Friday.
It's called First Avenue, the play.
Not First Amendment, obviously.
First frickin' Avenue has been canceled and is moving to the Varsity Theater, the statement posted to social media.
Oh, does this anger me?
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
Chappelle's agent on the phone.
To staff artists in our community, listen, this is the speech coming from the venue that moved him.
To staff artists in our community, we hear you and we are sorry.
We know we must hold ourselves to the highest standards,
and we know we let you down.
We are not just a black box, that's racist, with people in it,
and we understand that First Avenue is not just a room,
but meaningful beyond our walls.
Who the fuck do you think you are? Really? Who the fuck do you think you are?
Really?
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who the fuck?
The First Avenue team and you, again, this is from the venue that moved him, and you
have worked hard to make our venues the safest space.
What do you have, a thousand exits?
What are you talking? The safest spaces in the country.
And we will continue with that mission.
That's faggot stuff.
Amen.
You want to call it by its name?
That's strictly for fags.
We believe in diverse voices
and the freedom of artistic expression.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
You just lied.
But in honoring that,
we lost sight of the impact this would have. Yes, you're right. It would have made you guys a ton of money, made a lot of people happy in Minneapolis that aren't thin-skinned pussies
like yourself and Marxist anti-free speech jackoffs. The note also acknowledged that
some will not agree with the decision,
you think, and they are welcome to send feedback to the venue. Okay, here's some feedback for you.
Fuck you and fuck you. Who's next? Okay, make it clear. The club's switcheroo alludes to the
backlash it received for Booking Chappelle in the first place due to the jokes
he made regarding the transgender community in his 2021 Netflix special, The Closer.
I just, I got to make a couple points here. Can you imagine accusing Chappelle of being like
anti-gay or anti-trans? It's just, it's hilarious on its face, but I got to say this, okay, if that's a white comic as
equally as famous as Chappelle, they wouldn't have just moved it, they would have not let him perform,
and I'll stick to that, that's the truth, and I love Chappelle for still putting his head out
there, but again, he's got a trillion in the bank, I don't know what the risk is, but my point is,
there. But again, he's got a trillion in the bank. I don't know what the risk is. But my point is,
if I can drive any point home to you, my fans, remember that. When they're praising certain people for being edgy or whatever the fuck, and I'm glad he is. Somebody has to take on these
idiots. But I'm just saying it's a whole different standard for famous white people.
Speaking of famous white people, if you've got someone who is celebrating an upcoming birthday or circumcision or an appendectomy or an event or just someone you want to send
a great gift to, send them a cameo from yours truly. I'd love to send a personal message
to roast your loved one or coworker. Dallas is going to put the link on the screen. Go
there and you can see some of the cameos I've done.
Get the kids out of the room, and order one yourself,
or just go to Cameo and search for my name.
It tells you how to do it.
It's a lot of fun.
Make a little video.
Zing, zing, ping, ping.
People love it.
Boy, I can't get away from the sexual preference stories today.
Do you guys see how much this...
You know what?
I feel guilty doing this
because I'm partaking in the distraction
that they want me to partake in.
But see, I already have another eye.
I'm about,
a lot of us
got to do something for a living.
But I'm saying,
I got my eye open for what's really going on,
you know.
But that's what they're doing.
They got us with a,
there's 12 trans, I counted them. I did
a, what do you call it, Google Earth, Google thing. I saw all 12 of them at an Old Navy trying on
shit. It's a true story. All 12 of them in one fitting room trying on men's and girl, and we're
fine with that. I'm just saying we dedicate 90% of the news to him for the last four years.
Something's off. What's the headline? No Mo Homo. A Texas professor was being scrutinized
after an appeal to find a cure for homosexuality. What are you kidding me? They already found it. It's in Tehran. It's called a 12-story building.
You are correct, sir.
Along with a bizarre suggestion that doctors to try to identify gay babies during prenatal testing.
What's that joke?
Oh, damn it.
What's that joke? And the two guys are looking at the hospital at the maternity ward?
Something about the gay baby.
He's the only one with a pacifier in his ass or something.
Don't put that.
Don't put that.
Professor Timothy Farage is under investigation.
He's a hand.
Oh, my God.
Look at Farage.
I got some questions for Farage himself, don't you?
He's a fag.
You never really want to wear a mock turtleneck when you have a neck like a goddamn pelican.
Sheepish.
He looks like, and he's got his hair dyed way too black.
Again, he looks like he might have 12, 14-year-olds under his house. Farage is under
investigation by the University of Texas at Dallas after a tweet that made misleading claims
about an alleged link to homosexuality and monkeypox. First of all, there is a link to it.
I'm not playing on words here, but there is it. even gay people, it's 99% gay guys, young guys in cities who are getting monkey pox.
So I don't want to hear that.
Can we at least try to find a cure?
This is what this guy says.
For homosexuality, that takes some big blistered balls to say that.
Especially among men, the computer science professor wrote.
That's a question he asked online?
It's a sick question. You're a sick fuck, and I'm not that sick that I'm going to answer it.
Farage insisted he has nothing against homosexuals during an interview with WFAA,
but suggested we try to find a cure.
Yeah, let's have a telethon to change someone's sexual preference.
Yeah, let's have a telethon to change someone's sexual preference.
I don't know what to tell you, because there are gay people who will tell you they were cured.
Not too many, but I'm just saying, folks, it's not that wild.
It's not any wilder than shutting down J- calling Dave Chappelle dangerous to the trans community.
I'm saying do medical research,
this guy says,
on the causes for homosexuality.
It's very easy.
It's fucking Netflix programming.
That and tickets to Broadway plays.
Cut them out.
And the WNBA.
Said while suggesting that the supposed testing
could be administered in the womb.
Oh my God, you take some of that amniotic fluid, make a nice Salisbury steak with it.
Farage then admitted, I don't know, I'm not a doctor.
Take a big step back and literally fuck your own face.
He's being honest.
There's no way he's going to back whatever he was he a professor is that
was yeah you're finished fella you shouldn't be and i i i applaud you the rainbow coalition in
lgbtq nobody knows what the plus is student organization at the university of texas dallas
called on the university to behead the bitch they said no to take immediate action of course i say this calls
for action and now against professor timothy farage for the since deleted post farage has a
long well-documented history of hostility on lgbtq issues no we don't well maybe fucking quiz Well, maybe. Fucking quiz! That was a commencement speech he gave.
So maybe.
Anyways, he has been known to discuss
controversial political positions.
Yeah.
You hear that?
They don't even want him.
Oh, my God.
They're scary.
They're so scary.
You're not supposed to do that, apparently,
on a college campus.
And he promotes personal social
media accounts during lectures.
He goes, oh, these fags are troubles.
You can read more at
Mr. Farage at
fucking Don Knotts,
which goes against
university guidelines for professors' conduct.
The university received
several complaints, surprise, surprise,
and said the incident was under investigation. Hey, really? What do you got the FBI looking into? You should go, hey, surprise, surprise, and said the incident was under investigation.
Hey, really? What do you got the FBI looking into?
You should go, hey, dude, seriously, if we lived in a normal world, first of all, nobody would be even complaining.
But we live in a, you know, childlike environment.
I, I'm so tired of, but what else?
There are white niggers.
I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time.
Bet you have, you
Mama Luke.
Mookie!
Mookie! Mookie, Mookie, Mookie!
I'm a Red Sox fan.
I, you know, obviously, I was very surprised.
You know, Bogarts is going to be on it.
I can't wait, folks. I'm not going to a
baseball thing, but I'm just saying.
Trade deadlines in two weeks.
And everybody's talking about the Red Sox.
Because we're not going to win anything this year.
I don't give a shit what anybody says.
And we can clean house, maybe.
But other people are saying, why would you bring on a bunch of...
They're talking about Juan Soto.
But why would you spend that kind of dough this year if you know you're not...
Unless you can lock him into something
i guess is the idea but i'm sick of jd mart and i can't believe i'm saying this because he has
been tremendous for the red sox did i say i wasn't going to do this i'm doing it i'm sick of jd
martinez he can't he made some swings even in the all-star game they're embarrassing i think he's
lost his power for good been unbelievable for the red sox we got every drop out of I think he's lost his power for good. Been unbelievable for the Red Sox.
We got every drop out of him.
And he's a good, he seems like a good whatever.
But Bogarts, I can't believe we're going to get rid of him.
Nobody's been more consistent, more classy, more underrated.
But we have Story, Trevor Story,
who already put up better numbers than Bogarts is ever going to put up.
And he's a tremendous shortstop by here.
So I can't wait what they're going to do.
Chris Sale can't stay healthy.
Anyway, Mookie Betts died last night.
No.
Mookie Betts was voted upon by the fans, that would be white, fans, black,
all colors, to start the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night following his,
I had no idea he had this kind of first half, overwhelming season before going into the All-Star break.
Hitting.265 with 20, 20 tangerines, 47 runs batted it, and six stolen bags.
The L.A. Dodgers superstar was set to wear an All-Star jersey at his home ballpark.
He came in for batting practice with a message for the Major League fans filling up the seats.
The All-Star outfielder wore a shirt that said, and I quote,
We need more black people at the stadium.
When warming up for the Midsummer Classic at Dodger Stadium.
I feel bad.
These guys just...
There's something wrong with the black man's
mind. There's something wrong with his mind. These are young guys who have bought into...
He's about as black as I am, by the way. But the point being, he sees everything through through the lens of race. Everything.
Like everybody his age does now.
Who cares how many...
I hope he's not implying...
I'll go on with the article.
There's only this many black players now.
I hope he's not implying that's because of racism.
Because everybody knows that's not.
Black kids just aren't attracted to it.
They don't want to do it.
They're, for Christ's sake, they're killing it in all the other sports or whatever.
You know what I mean?
And who cares what color?
Anyways, he wore that in the Midsummer Classic.
Can you imagine a white guy stepping in with that saying,
we need more white players in a picture of a Dominican with a line through.
Mookie Betts said sports, and I still like, you know, sports and net LA reporter Kristen Watson
had shown him the shirt, because she's brainwashed, online and he bought one. I agreed with it,
so I decided to wear it, Betts said. I figure I'm black, nothing's going to happen to me. No,
I figure this is the right stage to get out the message.
It's not your job to get out the message.
Hit the ball, run, steal.
A recent study found that 38% of major league players are of color from the last 19, from
the last, I think they mean the late 1960s through the late 1990s.
African-Americans made up between 15 and 20 percent of all major leaguers.
That meant there were also more black MLB fans in attendance, which to me implies racism on
black people's part. You're not going to watch just white and Dominican players or whatever.
You have to have black players in there. You just don't see a whole lot of blacks playing the game
of, how about the ticket prices? Yeah.
Playing the game of baseball, which is fine, Mookie Betts explained.
I mean, they don't see themselves.
I don't know what that means.
I'm just trying to be that person they see and can become.
Well, you and a bunch of other guys and guys that came before you,
you know what I'm saying?
If that's a fact,
tell me,
am I lying?
But African American participation in baseball has been in decline for years,
with the number of black players
in MLB also declining.
In 2016, that number was
all the way down
to 6.7%, according to S-A-B-R, Saber, Sabermetrics.
This is where this was supposed to go.
If that's a fact, tell me, am I lying?
We're heading in the right direction, Mookie Betts added.
We're getting some culture in the game.
You know what he means by that?
Like, what he means by that? Now they celebrate after they hit a home or they flip the bat.
They, you know, yippity-yappity or whatever, which is fine, okay? But don't take such pride
in changing something that's been so good to you and made you guys zillionaires. Don't take such
pride in crapping on, you know what I mean? The whole world is kind of going
in that direction. No.
Again,
has never put on
anything but CNN.
So baseball needs to go that
way as well, he says. I don't know.
Don't give me that smart-alecky shit.
Mookie Betts was
pleased to see the progress and the fact that
four of the first five
picks in this week's MLB draft
were African Americans
why is that so important
after sporting the shirt
and again you notice
they're not making it clear they're sort of
hoping you guys are dumb enough to read the article
and go has to be racism
disparate impact is what
they call it by the way
African Americans after supporting the shirt he did at Dodgers Stadium on Tuesday,
Betts and the rest of the baseball world can indeed hope to see him play
in front of a more diverse MLB audience in the future.
What the fuck?
There's no crying in baseball!
Well, apparently there is.
Do you see?
They end the article with that.
Well, if they want to change the culture and add more of that culture,
then they're probably going to have to start allowing handguns inside the stadium.
Oh, come on now.
Let me do the racism.
This show is going to get canceled.
It's not because of you.
They already have bat night.
That's dangerous enough.
Handgun night.
He ain't got nice.
The first 8,000 kids under 16 entering the park with a Glock get a free Dodgers hat.
Oops.
