| 0:00.0 | Chris Rock goes full anti-woke in his new Netflix special and finally comes for his revenge on Will Smith. |
| 0:05.3 | Jill Biden says she and Joe would never consider a competency test, |
| 0:08.6 | and Bernie Sanders can't keep straight the difference between equity and equality. |
| 0:12.1 | I'm Bench Bureau. This is The Bench Bureau Show. |
| 0:19.3 | Well, Chris Rock has a brand new Netflix special. |
| 0:22.0 | It is his first comedy special since the incident in which he made fun of Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith's wife at the Oscars. |
| 0:29.2 | He made a joke about how she was bald. |
| 0:31.2 | And this led Will Smith to at first laugh and then glance over, see that Jada was mad, |
| 0:35.4 | and then walk up on stage and smack Chris Rock full across the face while yelling at him to keep her name out of your effing mouth. Chris Rock took that hit like a man and really said nothing about it for almost a year. Well, just before the Oscars, he now has a new Netflix special out in which he breaks his silence on that. And that is a notable headline. We'll get to that in a moment. But the most notable thing about what Chris Rock did is that he has now become just the latest |
| 0:59.2 | comedian to go full anti-woat. Now, if, as if you believe, as my friend of mentor, Andrew Breitbart, |
| 1:05.5 | believe that culture is upstream of politics, what you see in the culture eventually bleeds its |
| 1:09.5 | way down into how we do politics, then the woke revolution is coming and that right quick for a lot of the folks on the woke left. You're starting to see this in Democratic Party circles as well. This is why Joe Biden has been gradually backing away like Homer Simpson into a bush from the wokeies. But the fact is he can't do that because he is tied to them at the hip. He has incentivized them, he's brought them into his administration, and now he's going to take that ride with them. When all of the big comedians, almost all of them, have now come out and started ripping into wokeness when that ranges from Luis K, who by the way was quasi-canceled and now was back on tour as popular as ever, when that is true of Chris Rock, when that is true of pretty much all of them, except for Hannah Gadsby, who isn't really a comedian, you got a problem on the left. When the comedians are now more aligned with the right than the left, not because they like the right, they hate the right, but because they look at the left and they say, I can't be anywhere near these people. They're too crazy. That is a serious problem for the Democratic Party in political terms. |
| 2:05.3 | And again, they escaped the blade in 2022 because Republicans raided the local homeless shelter |
| 2:09.8 | for candidates. But I do not think that they avoid the cultural consequences of their own |
| 2:15.2 | radicalism for very much longer. So Netflix has now released this Netflix special. They did it with all sorts of fanfare. They had like a pre-show. They had like a post show as though it were almost a sporting event. And he had a lot to say. He actually started his stand-up act saying that he was going to try to do a show without offending anybody. He says he doesn't know who's going to get triggered. And he went directly |
| 2:35.2 | after woken. He's like, I'm on board with the social justice and all that kind of stuff. But, |
| 2:39.1 | but it used to be that if you wanted to take somebody's job, you actually had to be better at it than |
| 2:44.1 | they were. Now you just wait for them to say the wrong thing. And this extended to his critiques |
| 2:48.8 | in a wide variety of areas. It extended to his critique of Megan Markle, for example. He went very, very hard after Megan Markle because one of the things that he said during the special Chris Rock is we have now decided to glorify victims. It's one thing if you are a victim. It is another thing if you are a pretend victim. And we have decided that everyone in American society is now a. He sounds very much like a right-winger. |
| 3:08.3 | He sounds like this show, Chris Rock here. |
| 3:10.3 | Here's Chris Rock going after Megan Markle. |
| 3:12.3 | That she went through was not racism. |
