🚨 'MAGA MEN ARE SO CASTRATED!' Chelsea Handler LETS LOOSE on Trump! They're SPIRALING!!
And so I'm curious if your personal. stance on this issue, which seems to be. really big in every political race we. have, has evolved as so many other. Americans has on the Israel issue. We're. just going to switch it to talk about. something light, Chelsea. >> Yeah. Yes. Of course. Of course. Of. course it has evolved. It has evolved. We have Chelsea Handler here today on.
iPad Weekend in studio. >> She's a comedian, a television host, >> seventime New York Times best-selling. Arthur author. Seven times. >> I prefer Arthur. >> Arthur. Author. Why are you being a. [Â __Â ] already? >> I'm not. I'm just giving it to you. We're friends. I can do that. >> You're headlining your High and Mighty. tour. >> I am. Then you're not even going to be. here for my New York date on September. 25th. >> I'm going to the Tampa show. >> Oh. Oh, yeah. Perfect. I love I couldn't. wait to get back to Florida. So, I. wanted to nail those dates down right.
away. >> Exactly. >> You know what I decided about Florida? Because I usually don't go to Florida, but I do go to Texas to perform because. I feel like Texas has a chance of. turning blue at some point or electing. the right person instead of the wrong. ones. And um I was and I'm like, but I. don't want to go to Florida. And then I. was dating a guy that was from Florida. and he was like, "You have to come to. Florida." I'm like, "No, I just don't go. to Florida. I'm sorry." Like, even to. visit a boyfriend, I'm not going. And. then I got all these messages from. people in Florida being like, "It's, you. know, there's we're here. There's lots.
of blue people here and Democrats here. I don't even care if you're Well, I do. care now at this point if you are a. Democrat, but and I was like, you know. what? People are more important than the. state." So, I am doing some dates in and. in in in Florida. And uh yeah, and they. sold out right away. So apparently. they're they're they're they're hungry. for it because a lot of artists probably. feel similarly to to the way I do. >> Blue dots and red states are the. toughest progressive fighters this. country has.
>> Yes. I've heard you say this and it's. absolutely 100% on the money. >> They are craving cuz I was one am one. craving um camaraderie and. like-mindedness. with such intensity because it's it's. like in New York or LA, you just walk. outside and you breathe liberal air. You. don't have to worry about people taking. away uh your right to an abortion. You. don't have to worry about them favoring. the rights of a rapist or the rights of. guns over your children and things like. you don't have to worry about. just.
breathe liberal air and you know pretty. much I mean there's degrees of [Â __Â ]. upness within the Democratic party but. in general they're not going to just. really suck it to you. So there's some. really good fighters but it's difficult. going into these states where you know. the majority of people. um think you're just a childless cat. lady live. >> Yeah. But I'm not there for long enough. to interact with those people. You know. it's pretty in and out. You go to your. show and whoever's coming to my show is. not obviously feeling that way. And if. they are, then they were dragged there.
by somebody and I'm fine with that. But. um but yeah, but you have a very unique. experience coming from Oklahoma and. getting to breathe the liberal air. So. like and I have an assistant who I told. you she's more than an assistant. She's. my life manager and my life partner. Um. she's from Enid, Oklahoma. So when she. got to LA, she was an intern for me on. my very first show, Chelsea Lately. Or. that wasn't even whatever. And she. uh was, you know, believed that.
abortions, you know, should be illegal. and that nobody should get one. She had. very strong belief system, Christian. belief system. And then once she got to. LA and like, you know, many people do, I. know you had your you never had to have. an awakening really. You were just in. the wrong place. >> I had to deprogram pumps. You had to. deprogram pumps. So that's that was an. assignment. and I started to deprogram. my assistant and and then she kind of. resented me, you know? She's like, I. don't know if I believe all the things.
that you believe. I'm like, listen, abortion is more is about a lot more. than just killing a baby. That's not. what it is. Like, let's break it down. and talk about like the way people are. living in this world and things that. happen to people in this world and, you. know, financial insecurity, food. insecurity, all of these issues. But she. left me for a couple of years and worked. for someone else because she said she. had to get away from my political. viewpoints was one of the reasons. Um. she also had a kid during that time. She. wanted to do that out of my presence. which now she's my favorite baby in the.
world obviously. But she she came to all. of these conclusions on her own without. my influence and now you know is barely. speaking to the people that still. believe in those things. So, uh, it like. I was thinking about that on my when I. was walking down here today from my. hotel about like how you change your. viewpoint without getting out of those. small places. How does one change their. viewpoint if they're not exposed to the. real world or a bigger world or a larger.
portion of the population? Yeah, I think. that it's it's something that with the. internet now is really helpful. We have. another producer, Seth, and he's based. in Oklahoma. And he was ra he was raised. in rural rural rural Oklahoma. And his. mother was a secretary at this Baptist. church. And Seth and his family had no. internet in the house. And so Seth would. go, "Mom, can I go to work with you?". And he could get on the computer that. had Wi-Fi. And while she's doing all the. Southern Baptist bookkeeping and stuff,
he completely deconstructed his faith in. junior high and high school on the. Southern Baptist Wi-Fi network in rural. Oklahoma listening to the likes of. Hassan [Â __Â ] Radical Commie, and other. people. And so that's that's really kind. of changing things too. Whereas probably. your assistant from Oklahoma and Angie, it's really all that's all they know. There aren't other options. It's you. It's this way or the highway. You have. to believe this. And indoctrination is. is so powerful. Like I think a lot of.
times when people de uh program. themselves, they go through a lot of. grief from it. They feel grief of, you. know, like it's almost like a loss for. them. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would say that's. true because you also have to kind of. because it leads to just um an. excommunication of sorts with those. people that still believe in that system. because you know there is they're so. intrigent and then we become intrigent. in our ideology. you know, if you want. to call it that, which, you know, I'm. sure I know they do. Uh, so it's very.
it's a it's it's not something that I. wish for anyone to go through, but I. have zero tolerance, as I know you do as. well, for any of that nonsense anyway. It's too stupid at this point. >> Well, I want to talk about your. tolerance for uh beating meat. Play the. clip. >> Is this a picture of me? >> But he ran a campaign to beat meat. He. called it beat meat. I don't know what. the hell he meant by that. So vile. >> These people are going to tell me what. the hell is he wants to beat me.
>> Okay, so that was the uh Republican. convention this week in Dallas, Texas. And I have made a theory that I think. Trump is in his deathbed confession era. We're seeing a lot of bisexuality coming. out of him. You know, he's constantly. talking about, you know, how hot he. thinks men are. You're such a. good-looking guy. Look at this handsome. guy. Kiss that guy right on the mouth. I. mean just drooling over Zoron mom. Donnie. I mean the complete commie enemy. of all commamie enemies for a MAGA. person. And here he is talking about.
beating meat to a room full of just. complete abject Bible thumpers. These. people I was I mean he bas you know. yesterday he also offered to pay them. $5,000 each. Yes he did. They're going. to pay I'm going to pay I'm going to pay. everyone who votes for the Republican. party. Not even him. Just Republicans. You're going to get a $5,000 check. and. they're cheering for him and it's like. it, you know, we've said, we've. discussed this before. There is no. bottom. It doesn't matter that he's.
cheating or that he's saying he's. cheating, which is basically what he's. said. I mean, he said it all, right? He. said everything. And so these people are. they're never there is a group of people. that just will never let go of the idea. Like they could be starving for three. months with no food, no gas, no. electricity, and they would still be. like, "We believe in him. This is for. the war, I guess, in Iran." I I mean, I'm not sure. I don't know. >> No, it's you're It's true. There's no. bottom. >> It's just But they But you have to. imagine how dumb would you have to be? I.
mean, I know that these Republican. Congress people and senators are in hell. right now because they're just waiting. to see what happens in these midterms if. they can steal them. Like, we should. hold on. we have to keep our, you know, we have to keep a pace with him to some. degree because he might be able to steal. this election. Like that's what they're. banking on. And then if he doesn't, then. they have to separate quickly because. otherwise they're all toast. So it's. like, and most of them are intelligent. enough, not all of them. Um, but most of.
them are intelligent enough to see the. writing on the wall, right? So if he's. not able to steal this election, like. what what what are they going to do? What what then what happens? Like what. happens after the midterms? I can't. [Â __Â ] wait. I can't either because and I'm I'm still. terrified of it. Like there were a lot. of empty seats there last night, but. he's taken a victory lap, of course. And. they're going to try to cheat. They are. already election interference with Jimmy.
Kimmel, not allowing Jimmy to air the. interview with James Tarico, which is. the same [Â __Â ] they did in Hungary. And Miggar still won. He still defeated. and they and they got that autocrat out. But, you know, they move. They they. switch. They have rotating villains. They have uh immigrants, of course. Yes. >> Uh trans people, trans athletes, um kids. that use litter boxes in school, teachers that are performing sex change. jobs in school. >> Yes. In school. It's amazing. >> Yeah. Like I I had to fill out 95 forms.
to have my kid get an aspirin, much less. getting their wiener whacked off. That. wasn't an option in my in onboarding uh. signing my kids up for school. I love. that people who are anti-trans believe. that you can go to school and transition. in the afternoon. >> Yeah. And then you come home and your. parents have to like take 38 surgeries. and consultations and psychiatric. evaluations and that somebody is just. doing that because they want to have a. good time. And here's the problem. The. PE Trump saying that [Â __Â ] is one thing.
because we expect him to wake up and. stay say crazy [Â __Â ] The people who were. supposed to provide a guard rail. continue to perpetuate this lie. The. sitting attorney general and um uh. Epstein apologist Todd Blanch um. repeated on the news over a couple. weekends ago that it's epidemic this. wiener whacking stuff that's going on in. schools. I believe uh McMahan, the uh. woman who runs the Department of. Education, whose husband is involved in. of course some sexual abuse scandal.
because all Republicans seem to be. involved in these. She repeats the same. lies. My thing about a lot of these. Republican men is. >> they literally have no balls. They can't. grow a pair because they're waiting for. Trump to possibly cheat to win. And. that's the wrong thing they should be. doing. They should be Republican party. Richard Nixon Nixoning this thing. >> Trump's 80. >> That's what's that's what is so like. crazy to think about with all of these.
people. It's like like you just don't. understand what your endgame is. First. of all, fascism has never had a good. ending, >> right? >> When did it end well? Like Hitler. blowing himself, you know, blowing his. brains out in a bunker. Mussolini, did. that end well? Like I love how they. think that this is a long game because. Trump is just in it for the grift. He's. just there like I'm going to plunder the. government. I'm going to plunder. everybody's money. I'm going to take. everything I can while I'm here and be. an opportunist and enrich my family and. leave a mark and a stain including. defiling the o Oval Office with his.
feces with, you know, [Â __Â ] his pants. every I mean that's where we have a. president who is [Â __Â ] his pants in. the Oval Office and a vice president. who's standing upright behind him that's. wearing eyeliner. that is wearing eyeliner like so the. president's wearing a full face of. makeup yet they talk about gender. affirming care like it's a big we are. governing and here's the problem AOC. said this once. >> could the villains be a little cooler. >> these guys are just such insufferable.
dorks but they moved on to a new villain. and it is the liberal white woman. >> that's us that is us. >> yes. >> so these [Â __Â ]. >> that's no in espanol. So now they've moved on. Ted Cruz went. after me. I texted this to you the other. day. Pop this up. Ted Cruz says, "God. save us from liberal white women." I. don't know this Jennifer Welch. character, but she seems to be filled. with pure boiling hate, so radical, so. extreme that she views the rest of.
America as her enemies. Um, and they go. after you quite a bit, too. Do they? >> Yeah, I think they do. Yeah, I've had. some um dust ups with those men and that. gives me a lot of pleasure. >> It's really. >> It really does. It's just like another. feather in my cap, you know what I mean? And it emboldens me because I we. represent everything. Even me more so. because I have no children and and I'm. independent and I have money and I don't. have a husband. Like I'm a witch, you. know? Um, so I feel like we are in this.
I don't know how long this period of. time is going to last because I do feel. like it's the death cough of white male. patriarchy, but I felt this for some. quite some time. And I don't know if. that's a 500year period of time or a. 50-year period of time, but the way that. men are behaving and reacting to strong. women makes it clear that they are very. afraid and they are very scared. Um, what we could use is a lot more people. standing up on behalf of, you know, the. types of women especially that I am.
child-free and husbandree and and in. celebration, you know what I mean? Instead of degradation. Um, people that. aren't, you know, I know a lot of people. think they're allies, but my issue in. this day and and where we are is that. not enough people were outspoken enough. Not enough. There was no men's march. about Roie Wade. there was a women's. march, you know, like men could could do. more for us and stand up more for not. only us but for every other marginalized.
community that's under attack under this. administration. Um it's not just enough. to say it, you have to act it and you. have to do it. And so that's. disappointing. But now we're look at. where we are because of that behavior. and in action, that lethargy. you know, it's kind of put us in this situation. where we're dealing with, you know, a. president who shits his pants, who. started a war that he can't end with. election stealing and and nobody's even. denying it. You know, the biggest I just. can't wait for cuz some of them are. going to go down. Some of them are. I.
don't think Trump will pay the price. He'll hopefully be dead, you know, at. some point soon. But but like Mike. Johnson, you know, the the response of I. haven't heard that yet. I haven't seen. that yet. That [Â __Â ] makes me crazy. Almost crazier than the outright uh. lying, you know, the denialism. That. makes me crazy to not have to address. the thing that you don't want to address. because you're trying to push this law. through. Um. >> so uh I sorry I went a little off course. from Ted Cruz, but um he tends to do.
that with people, but Ted Cruz is un. he's un he's un he's so repugnant, >> you know? They're also I mean Mitch. McCing. senator. >> Speaking of dead people, the late Lady. Graham. >> Katherine Graham. >> No, Lindsay. >> Oh, Lindsey Graham. >> I'm like from the Washington Post. What. a pivot. Um, no. Like Lady Graham. >> Lady Graham. Thank you.
>> Had no children. Uh, never married. I. think we all know why, >> right? And then you no children, never. married. And they go [Â __Â ] bananas. about you. Never about the late Lady. Graham whose sex workers are coming out. of the woodworking woodwork saying Lady. Graham were wore red panties and invited. all these sex workers and they're on the. record now. This is what he was doing. But here is um Megan Kelly applying a. standard to you that she never applied.
to Lady Graham. Play the clip. love. watching clips about. >> marriage is patriarchal. It's much more. fun to just hook up with guys. >> all the way into your menopause years. >> as she is now 51. >> and has I guess absolutely no desire to. have a deep meaningful connection with. another human who's her partner in life. and potentially father to a children. >> Wow. Yeah. She's mad at you. >> She told me she. >> Wow.
I have a lot of deep meaningful a. penetration and deep meaningful. connections with lots of people that. aren't men and that would be I would. love to know who her little circle of. girlfriends are you know or I would love. to know what kind of deep meaningful. connection she's ever had with anything. other than you know like being a talking. head for the very group of people that. are trying to destroy your freedom of. choice. voice and your ability to even.
be on a show like that is wild. It's. just wild to see these women standing by. his side. Especially that little. pipsqueak, you know, that's that's now. traveling around the bunny. Yeah, the. bunny boiler. Exactly. The little girl. who gives him the good news all day. I I. want someone to give him like even with. the questions of the reporters. First of. all, let me just wrap this up. This. Megan Kelly thing, I I had never heard. that and I'm glad you showed it to me. because I love to hear things about. myself. But um I.
they matter to me as much as they matter. to you. >> You know what I mean? Nobody neg. anything negative that is said about me. only matters if I believe it's true, >> right? >> So I I know what's up. And when they use. women like me who are so representative. of of so many women, you know what I. mean? We're living in a time where so. many women are like, "Wait, we don't. maybe we don't have to get married or. maybe we don't have to have a kid. like. we actually let's just it's a [Â __Â ]. pain in the ass. Raising a kid and.
robbing me of 20 years, you know, if you. really want one, of course, go get one, you know, but but but if you don't don't. think you have to do it like and. everyone who's married, and I know you. know this, like everyone who's married. that is gets divorced is like, I will. never if I or if I get divorced, I will. never [Â __Â ] bother with that again. You know what I mean? it. I get so much. more joy out of not being in a. relationship than I've ever had from any. of my loves. It's just too much for me.
That's not where I shine. But don't you. think the story to this is that there's. something that you have in common with a. Zoron Mandani or an Abdul Elsad or a. Chelsea Handler? And what it is is. you're the antidote to their propaganda. So, their prop propaganda is that women. are not happy or purposeful or useful. unless they're in service of a man and. they need us. And then here's Chelsea. Handler. Doesn't need a man, makes a.
[Â __Â ] ton of money, uh, works her ass. off, [Â __Â ] for sport, enjoys herself, and it's like, oh [Â __Â ] we can't get. that information out there. Zoron Mdani, they want you to everyone to believe. that he and Abdul Alied are Muslim. jihadist terrorists because the. propaganda that Israel uses is that. they're the good guys and anybody that. is a Muslim is this horrible awful. person and they're the antidote to that. And that's why they're there's so much. of a reaction to people that are the.
antidote to this establishment. patriarchal Judeo-Christian [Â __Â ]. propaganda. >> Yeah. And look what it's led to. Look, but look where we are in this world with. the convergence of what's happening in. the climate. Okay, we have one of the. only political parties in the world next. to Syria, which was. that believes that denies climate. change. We're the only people in the. world, North Korea believes in climate. change. Um, and between that, the convergence of.
that. AI, right, no guardrails on what's. probably going to be, you know, could. likely be the end of the world. And it. seem seemingly so by every smart person. I respect is scared to death now of how. out of the bag the cat has or, you know, has gotten like it's co basically. It's. out like we can't put it back in the box. yet or ever maybe. Um, and the. convergence of all of those three, like. that's where we are based on white male.
patriarchy. That's what has led us to. capitalism being such a boon and turning. into an oligarchy for, you know, the I. don't know, it's 40 richest men in the. world or, you know, probably more than. that. But it's weird when you meet a. billionaire, you start to meet them all. You know, they start to like smell like. I've I met a couple billionaires uh, you. know, a few years ago and then I started. meeting more and more and more and I was. like, "Wait, wait. I'm I'm running in. the wrong circles. Like, this is not my. group, you know? I need to keep my. [Â __Â ] feet on the ground. Are.
>> you a billionaire magnet? No. I I don't. want to be I don't want to be um I uh I. don't want to be a billionaire magnet. because I I see what that is. But but. back to the the what they are espousing. is what got us in this mess in the first. place. Things are completely out of. control and off the rails because of. this system. >> Yeah. So like that we tried it you guys. This system doesn't work. Are you happy. about AI? Are you happy about climate.
change? Are you happy about all of this. not having healthcare? Only men could. design a system like that. So everything. that Megan Kelly talks about she like. her, you know, nothing else lands. because she's so misguided and what she. stands for is so detrimental not only to. the world and our country, well and to. the world now, but to her. >> Exactly. It's. >> I say this is one of my favorite things. Women that carry the water for the. patriarchy are the first to drown. And. so you have all of these women that are.
propping up Trump and this fascist. takeover. And they've written the. shoulders of all of the brave feminists. and uh women's rights activists that. fought the way for us to have a credit. card for you to be, you know, some. [Â __Â ] independent unmarried woman and. proud of it by God and everybody. embracing that. They ride the shoulders. of that movement and then they stand. there with that privilege and then beat. down the very movement that got them the. microphone that they have. And. >> it's called the Clarence Thomas. You get.
in through you get in through all the. programs that are here to benefit black. people and then you shut all of the you. shut the door on your way in. >> Here I want to play you a clip from. Katie Miller's podcast which I also. refer to as Fireside Chats with Nazis. And of course, you know, she is the wife. of unfuckable Steven Miller, who we've. decided on this podcast is more. unfuckable than Ted Cruz. Well, what. about Lindsey Graham alive? Ted Cruz or. Steven Miller? Which one? >> The most unfuckable. You got to go. Steven Miller.
>> Okay, let me I'm going to try and get. you to choose Steven Miller. Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg. Well, I guess that. would be easy to do. Um, okay. Elon Musk. is not an easy person to have sex with. Elon Musk, Steven Miller, or. Hitler if he were still alive. God damn. it. That is diabolical. >> Okay. Well, you have to think about it. Which one is the most unfuckable or. which one would I [Â __Â ] If you want to. come to Tampa, you need to answer this. question.
>> I mean, which one would I [Â __Â ] I mean, it's hard to know Hitler now because. >> I'm going to take Elon. Oh, interesting. Out of those three. >> Yeah, I guess that is the right choice. Elon, I think I'd do Elon. But here is. uh Katie Miller. Let's get back to. >> Ava Braun. >> Can't believe someone married. >> Street Journal pointed out that now. women outnumber men in the workforce. And so before we get to. >> which I think is terrible, by the way,
>> it's insane. Yeah, of course. I mean, this is a lot of Republicans like to. talk about how great it is that the. female unemployment rate is the lowest. ever. This is one area where I break. with my fellow Republicans. I say, "What? Why is that necessarily a good. thing? I mean, maybe for for some women, but the fact that women like have to go. to the widget factory to to do. spreadsheets, I don't know that. >> she is sitting there talking about women. not having jobs at her job. >> I know. >> at her job promoting for women to not.
have a job at her job. >> I. I know. I know. >> This is like me saying nobody do. podcasts anymore. Podcasts need to be. outlawed. They need to be illegal and. you need to boycott standup comedy. >> I mean, I don't know how what happened. Like I don't you just want to know. I mean I kind of do want to know and. then I kind of don't want to know what. happens at at in their homes like what. what the conversations are like their. hatred. I mean, also JD Vance's wife,
you know, like what what what is she? How can you sit there with a man that. speaks about all of these things and. then you're then you're married to him? Like, well, it gets worse for Usha, her. husband, the little smoky sociopath, Miss Pris Pants. He refused to condemn a. Nazi racist group chat. She's an Indian. woman. Their children are mixed race. M. these MAGA men are so castrated.
>> Mhm. >> They cannot defend their wives. Ted Cruz. famously Tom uh uh Donald Trump called. Heidi Cruz ugly. Three months later, Ted. Cruz, God bless Donald Trump. I mean, there's just no principle, no integrity, >> and no agency. >> None. >> They have no agency. >> That's a very good point. So that you. know like. how could you ever be with a man that. allowed your someone like how could I've. thought about Ted Cruz's wife so many.
times after that more so than these. other two losers wives because how could. you like you have children together. You're you let your the father of your. children cozy up to the man who spoke to. you that way. Like talk about being. married to a snake, you know? I mean and. he's rudderless. He's so gross. Ted. Cruz. Like he's not even a snake. Cuz a. snake can bite. He doesn't even. >> rather [Â __Â ] Ted or Steven. Ste. >> Ted. Oh, that's a good one. Ted or. Steven or Elon? Well, you already chose.
Elon. You obviously have a crush on him. Um Ted or Elon. Ted. Steven or Elon. Or. Steven or Ted. Yeah. >> Steven or Ted. >> Steven. I feel like I could physically. take. >> Do you know what I mean? Like I feel. like I could probably beat him up. I'm. pretty strong. >> Yeah. and he seems pretty weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting this. way. So, Ted Cruz is unforgivable. physically to me. I just that face, that. everything about him is repulsive and.
repugnant. Steven Miller, the same. thing. But he's like a little boy. Something happened to him. Something bad. happened to him for him to be acting. this way. And there's a chance that I. could take him physically and possibly. end his life and injure him sexually in. a sexual situation in a sexual scenario. Yeah. Okay. So, this regime, they go. after comedians first. And this is this. is nothing unique or new for about. autocrats or authoritarians. The very. first people they target are comedians.
because they're thin- skinned, neutered, submissive, fragile ego people. And so. they have been going after Jimmy Kimmel. and now they're going after people in. Hollywood like Mark Ruffalo. And Mark. Ruffalo has been speaking out. passionately. He's been on this podcast. about the Paramount War. We have big. stars on this podcast. >> Okay. I believe you. I believe you. >> No. So he Mark Ruffalo has been speaking. out about this Paramount Warner Brothers. merger and he truthfully linked David.
Ellison to Larry and David Ellison to. giving the IDF money and he stated that. as fact the Ellison family has funded. the genocide and they funded the IDF. during the act of genocide. >> and now there's been this big backlash. Mark Ruffalo because he's speaking out. and they've called him an anti-semite. Let's pop this up. So over 170 Jewish. entertainment figures have signed an. open letter defending Mark Ruffalo after.
Paramount accused him of fueling. anti-semitic tropes. Uh Ruffalo spoke. out against the Paramount Warner. Brothers merger and said the Ellison. family was complicit in the genocide. against Palestinians. And I think all of. us in a very rapid time and over the. course of since Kamla for me personally. since Kamla's um defeat my opinions and. my knowledge about this changed really. rapidly in real time and I evolved. dramatically. And so I'm curious if your. personal stance on this issue which.
seems to be really big in every. political race we have has evolved as so. many other Americans has on the Israel. issue. We're just going to switch it to. talk about something light. Chelsea. >> Yeah. Yes. Of course. Of course. Of. course. It has evolved. It has evolved. Um my my position on Netanyahu has. absolutely I mean I I never thought. Netanyahu was a great guy anyway when he. stole, you know, his basic, you know, he. was about to go to jail and then cozied. up to this right-wing coalition in the. Knesset. And luckily there's going to be.
an uh an another election by October. 27th. They have to call an election in. Israel. But also most and and so my. evolution, yes, I think Netanyahu is a. war criminal. Yes, what has transpired. is absolutely disgusting. This is. unacceptable. It's not retaliatory. This. is we've taken it to a new level. They. want to pulverize Gaza. They have. pulverized Gaza that what's happening. there is absolutely a human rights. issue. This is not, you know, this is. about him resting power. I believe that.
I believe that Netanyahu is should and. and and a lot of Israelis believe that. that and so I think you know everyone. has weaponized the idea of Zionism. meaning that you're you're anti-Israel. most Jews I know and lot listen there. are a lot of exceptions because there's. a lot of Jews that are very you know the. Jews that hate Mam Dani even though he's. done lots of wonderful things he you. know there's Jews that hate every all of. these people because they said they've. criticized Israel I don't conflate a.
criticism uh with Israel as being. anti-semitic, but I can't also deny that. there is a ton of anti-semitism. There. is, and there always has been. Yeah. I. But Netanyahu is not [Â __Â ] helping. that. You know, he's the problem. He's. the reason anti-semitism has risen. because of his response to this and. because of his, you know, lack of. ability to take a look at how does this. affect Jews worldwide? How does his uh. attack and retaliation in quotes affect.
the Jews worldwide? And it's not. positive. So, I am sympathetic to people. who um you know, want to get rid of him. I definitely want him out. He's worse. than Trump because he's smarter than. Trump. >> Yeah. >> You know, um but do I I I'm not an anti. I'm not anti-Israel either. I'm anti the. government of Israel. this government. sucks and they're terrible and it's a. and he's a war criminal. >> And you think this is something that's. been really weird for me because where I.
grew up in Oklahoma. >> and I don't think I just also sorry to. say I just also Mark Ruffalo is not an. anti-semite. I don't believe that. either. I don't believe like when this. happened I had a big I was in a part of. big Jewish groups that were sending me. all this stuff this propaganda this. Hamas propaganda which they have a. propaganda machine too. Israel also has. a propaganda machine. Everybody's got a. propaganda machine. Go online. You know. what I mean? Um, but everyone was. sending me all this stuff of like. foreshadowing what was going to happen.
and how people were going to start. speaking about Israel and this is what's. going to happen next and and it was kind. of accurate. It's kind of what happens. exactly. But I don't think Mark Ruffalo. is anti-Semitic. I think he's standing. up for something that he believes in. >> And and I admire that. I don't all of a. sudden think, you know, like a Hannah. Einbinder is an anti-Semite. And I think. that's a really narrow way to look at. things. So, I just wanted to say that. that, you know, I support him. I Yeah, I. do, too. I think it's that from my.
vantage point, if if you grow up in New. York or LA or you live in New York or. LA, the there's a lot more Jewish people. in those cities and you're a lot more. fully versed on it. Where I come from in. the middle of the country, there's teeny. in Oklahoma City, teeny tiny small. Jewish community. Nobody really knows. where Palestine is or the West Bank or. Israel. Nobody really gives a [Â __Â ] Our. governments are trying to take away. healthcare and abortion rights, etc.
>> As I look at the this whole issue, it. it's it's fascinating to me because you. can criticize any government anytime, anywhere. Like I criticize the United. States of America. I criticize this. government and I want everybody else to. criticize them. >> because it's objectively bad. >> There's no backlash of that to somehow. me being attached with that criticism. with some form of bigotry. It's just, you know, it's it's speech. It's free.
speech and saying I criticize this this. this. The same if you criticize France. or Russia or North Korea or any of them. But when you get to Israel, criticizing. them is a minefield. And sometimes I'm. like, God, it's another story about this. and I don't want to step into it because. I know there's a bunch of people be. like, "You're an anti-semite, Jennifer.". And there's a bunch of people that are. going to be this way. And then, you. know, like you said, Jews are not a. monolith. There's a lot of people in New. York that I know that are completely uh,
you know, I would say anti-Zionist Jews. that and and they very much love their. Judaism. They love their identity, but. they're completely different. And then. they get called self-hating Jews. I feel. like this topic is such a minefield. >> It is. It's like it's it's just not. It's an unwinable conversation. Not that. you have to win conversations. It's not. about that. But they've weaponized the. word Zionist. That it used to mean that. you believed Israel had a right to. exist. Now it means that you believe in. genocide or you support genocide. That's. not what a Zionist used to mean. That is.
a new definition of a Zionist. um that. and and and I know people in Israel that. hate Netanyahu. They hate the way this. is going. They hate what he's done to. Gaza. I've been there. I've been to. Ramla. I've been to the West Bank. I've. been to these places. I interviewed. Shimone Perez years ago for my one of my. Netflix documentaries and I saw it in. real life like that they're living. behind a fence. I went and met with the. mayor of Ramla at the time, this woman, and she was it was awful what I saw. I. was like, "How is this working? what are.
these chain link fences like and the IDF. patrolling both sides and you know. you're fed a lot of stuff as a Jewish. person which many Jews have spoken about. and what I hate the most. or one of the things that I find um so. uh disturbing is the argument of when we. talk about anti-semitism which is a huge. issue people want to say well they don't. care about what's happening in Darur. they don't care about Sudan there's.
genocides happening there. Look over. there. Why isn't anybody saying anything. about that? As if that's a valid. argument to what's happening with Israel. and Gaza. That's the anti-semit. That's. one of the anti-semitism arguments. Why? Why? They only care when it's Jews. They. only care when it's Jews defending. themselves. So, when you talk about this. issue, it's so complex in so many ugly. areas and in so many ugly ways instead. of a unification. like most is Jews I. know want a two-state solution that.
that's what most Jews I know want and. that seems like a reasonable solution. that will never happen now when I uh am. on Instagram and you know how if you. follow somebody it'll show like this. person likes this. >> and so I get a fed my algorithm a lot of. stuff about Palestinian suffering. >> Yeah. >> And you always you know whatever the. post is I always see Chelsea Handler. likes this. You seem very, at least. online, very compassionate. >> That's weird cuz I blocked you on. social. I don't know why you would be.
>> showing up. It's my It's my Fina. Um I. think my Fina, my fake. >> This is right after her husband left the. room that she reveals she has a Finina. >> But I see you very cuz I know you. privately offline too and you're such a. compassionate person and you care so. deeply about human rights and that's. what I love so much about. You're. hilarious and hot and all that stuff. >> Thank you. But underneath you really. care passionately about human rights. And I know that, you know, this is such. a minefield to walk through. But we all.
still talk about it from a position of. relative safety. I mean, we're still. living this fascist regime, but we're. white women in America and and wealthy. and etc. And when I think about the. suffering going on over there in these. little kids. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> and how they were targeted. And then a. recent story came out that Benjamin. Netanyahu knew. >> this is confirmed. This came out from. Herz, the Israeli paper, that. >> they told him they're going to attack.
and he did nothing. He allowed October 7. to happen. And it just continues to go. from bad to worse. And I think the. reason that people care more about this. issue is because their tax dollars. >> are paying for it and not DAR for. And. then you have a politician like the late. Lady Graham. >> who served service to Israel more than. he did the people of South Carolina. >> Yeah. >> And as a person that came from middle.
America, the hyperfixation on helping. Israel, >> I mean, if you live in Oklahoma City, you live in Sunflower City, you're like, "Okay, what about us?" Like, we got a. lot of [Â __Â ] going on here. Infrastructure, schools closing, hospitals, blah blah blah. And so I can. see how when you know historically about. anti-semitism and how targeted and uh. marginalized Jewish people have been um. the need to feel you know protective but.
as I as I look at it and I didn't really. know that much about it until recently. I grew up I remember being in like. Hebrew school and you would learn about. you know the way it was framed in a in a. in a childlike way and then as I grew up. and learned more about it is you know. Israel is the democracy. of the Middle East. It's the only. democracy. It's this little piece of. land and everyone else around it hates. it and everyone's going to attack it and. there's always and historically that is. what has happened. um and that it's our.
last line of defense against that whole. region of people who are not. like-minded, who are not dem who don't. have democratic values, but what's. happening today isn't representative of. the democracy or democratic values. Um. and and obviously maybe that word is. expired has expired because we're in. quote unquote democracy also here and. that seems to have expired as well. Um, but like you said, you and I, you know, I I do care deeply about human rights. I.
care about human suffering. I It's. sickening. It's absolutely sickening. And also, you and I, I mean, I I won't. speak for you, but my life hasn't been. impacted directly by any of these. policies about President Trump or. Netanyahu other than watching this. horror show, you know, on both sides. I. think Israel, what's happening in Gaza. is a horror show. I think what's. happening in America is a horror show. two different things, right? But um uh. but to not pay attention or to not have. it impact you to be so out of touch. I.
believe that it is mandatory to remain. going to the airport no matter how rich. you get to keep your [Â __Â ] feet on the. ground. I believe that these all these. billionaires who lose sight of what what. what is happening, you know, what what. what what. real people are dealing with, what real. people are dealing with when they go to. a gas station or they go to a grocery. store or they can't [Â __Â ] get health. care or they can't have access to a safe. abortion where the mother's life is at.
risk or any of the a million other. examples that I could sit here and give. you, it does affect me. It impacts me. even though it's not my personal life. So what I'm it's I'm taking a long road. to say this, but the those those people. who have a lot of money that don't care. about how it's impacting others and are. building their bunkers in New Zealand. and are saying, you know, things like uh. you know, who don't have a strong opinion about.
what's happening or are able to look. away in the face of human suffering. makes me irate because it is our. responsibility. When you are gifted with a great life. and you make a lot of money and you have. an influence or you have a platform, I. should say, you you do need to be. informed and you do have to get your. [Â __Â ] ducks in a row because otherwise. you're not even participating in. society. >> You're not participating. You're in a. silo that you've created that could be.
you know you know like and then you. become one of these people that doesn't. have any you can't relate to human. suffering because it doesn't impact you. and you or I could easily just go off. and do that. I mean you've made your. living being political so it would be. weird for you but I could easily just. like I don't want to talk about politics. anymore. I'm not doing it. You know it. would be easier for me. you know, that. would be nice, right? But that's also. spineless. And so, so it is important to. have these conversations and they are. very um you know, people are it's such.
an ugly issue, the Israel issue, our. political situation. Um but I I'm glad. we're talking about it. I am too because. I think about it a lot and I think about. how people that stick their neck out and. talk about it get, you know, immediate. like right now the comment section will. be going crazy um on YouTube and who. gives a [Â __Â ] But I I I've come up with. a lot of like things that I after. reading about this that I think help me. understand this more. And when you have. a government that the United States and.
Israel both say we are bright shining. examples of democracy, but you have. policies where you quantify. humanness. These humans are more. important than these humans and these. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's disgusting. >> It It breaks you. And then when you have. politicians, whether they be Republican. or Democratic, that take money for that. endgame to quantify humanness to say. these these babies are not as important.
because they're Palestinian, >> it it breaks the whole system. And so. once you are dismissive of one group's. humanity. >> and in this in this regard, let's say. Palestinians, but we that we can take it. to America and talk about black people. are very dismissive about the humanity. of black people, over policing of their. neighborhoods, etc. Everything after that, all of the. [Â __Â ] and the immoral [Â __Â ] after that, it's like, yeah, it's a slippery slope,
you know? It's like a gateway drug to. the harder hits. >> And so, I think America's crime has. never been reconciling our issue with. the uh genocide of black people in this. country initially through slavery. And. then we have basically a two-tier court. system. We have there's still a lot of. segregation. So much institutionalized. racism still in this country. And. Israel's, you know, original sin is you. can't create a safe space and then kick.
everybody out of their homeland and. expect to be safe forever. Mhm. >> You know, and it just I think that. there's there has to be a bigger calling. on all of us to call beyond whether. somebody's Jewish, Palestinian, there. has to be a humanness. And that's why I. like a lot of these some of these DSA. candidates that are popping up all over. the US right now. >> cuz they have this message of universal. human rights that's so important to me. like whether they're trans, somebody's. trans, somebody's Palestinian,
somebody's Jewish, somebody's black, whatever, we all have to have the same. value. And I think the the sin of both. of those governments, Israel and the. United States, is they don't value in. universal human rights. >> Yeah, they say they do, but their. policies don't. >> When people are so anti-democratic. socialism, it's like, well, look where. capitalism has brought us. Like we're. look where we are, >> right? >> This is capitalism gone wrong. >> Yeah. >> Now we're going to get killed by robots.
because there's eight [Â __Â ] losers. that couldn't get laid. That's. capitalism. So like while I understand I. mean I've I have so many people in my. life and it's mostly wealthy people that. are anti- you know socialism for obvious. reasons. I already share my money with. the government. I want my money to be. going towards good things. But I'm happy. to share. I'm happy to share with. everybody to live in a more peaceful. world where people are treated equally. Absolutely. So I'm not antisocialism in. the way or democratic socialism, I.
should say, in the way that many people. are. I know you're very into, you know, I know you're into it and you're. positive about it. I'm I'm I'm DSA. curious. >> Yeah, I'm DSA curious as well. As well. I'm not I'm not a stalwart on anything. besides human rights. Like, stop it. I. have to tell you a story. You're gonna. appreciate this. Okay, so I have um a. black woman who opens for me on the. road. Her name is Yamana. And she was at. an airport. It was a smaller town, a.
city, I don't know. I don't remember. where exactly, but in the middle of the. country somewhere. And uh we she got. off, we got off to go get our bags at. the luggage carousel off of our flight. And I went to the bathroom while she. waited for our bags. and a white woman. went up to her and said, "What are you. doing here? And where did you come from? What city did you fly in from?" And she. looked at her and said, "What? What? Don't what what like don't even talk. to." And this was happened while I was. in the bathroom. And I know cuz I called.
her. She was like, "Which bag is yours? Which bag is yours?" Cuz she was getting. my bag for me. And the woman just Okay. But and said, "Where are you coming. from? What city did you come from?" Um, and the woman and my friend was like, "Fuck [Â __Â ] off. I'm at I just got off. this flight." And she didn't respond to. her at all because she's used to this. And I wasn't there in that moment cuz I. would have loved to respond to that. But. can you imagine like when when when. people aren't exposed to that? Can you. imagine being somebody that is at an.
airport collecting your luggage, confronting a black person about where. they flew in from and making sure that. they're getting their luggage? Like it's. so preposterous when you're up close and. personal to that kind of Karen behavior. By the way, I got to play a Karen in a. movie yesterday. I did a day roll on a. movie and I got to let my Karen freak. flag fly for on behalf of black people. to show how [Â __Â ] crazy white women. can be. Um hopefully it will be viewed. that way because that's exactly what it. was. But uh just the the like that level.
like you really have to see it to. believe it. And I've done documentaries. about racism or privilege before for. Netflix. And when you're talking to a. lot of these white women, they really. don't believe in racism because they. don't see any of it. They're not exposed. to it. It's like being in Oklahoma when. if you live in a suburb that doesn't. have any black people. They don't. believe it because they can't see it. And it's like it's not like white people. are going around looking for racism. You.
know what I mean? It's like where can I. see it? Where is it happening? So to. that story particularly like it's like. how could you ever I wouldn't even go up. to anyone and say that you know what I. mean? The America is still a especially. in a lot of these red states still. pretty segregated. Yeah, Atlanta is a. very, you know, for a red state, it's. very very uh integrated and and great, but in Oklahoma, there's still so much. segregation. And I've just witnessed. this kind of [Â __Â ] so many times my whole.
entire life that surprises me. Zero. >> Okay. So then what tipped you off to. what what what made you understand how. wrong that was? you I my parents were. super progressive and I I just. immediately as you start forming your. world outside of the world that you grew. up in like this shit's just racist like. these people are just straight up racist. and I waited tables all through college. >> and um then it got it it and then my my. awareness of that got worse as my son.
played basketball aaou basketball and he. played on like an inner city team all. black kids with a couple of white kids. my son being one of the white ones but I. just started Ed seeing like god they're. so they just think they're so much. better and they're so demeaning like. demeaning to other kids on back but just. really grotesque racism and just really. grotesque stuff and then Trump. it's hard for me to even talk about. because I know these people I've been. around these people. >> and then Trump becoming president they. feel like.
>> they can dunk on it now they feel that. much more emboldened by it they feel so. vindicated. >> in the racism it's just So, it's an. embarrassing group to be a part of. >> Yeah. And I didn't I mean, these are. circles when you're raising kids that. you're around that you just know and and. and Oklahoma City, I know that 50% of. you in that city are the most beautiful. blue dots in a red state, but you're. listening to what I'm hearing right now. It's so frustrating being a liberal and.
a progressive around a bunch of white. MAGA racists. >> That's why I think my listeners that. they go, "Oh, I know exactly what she's. talking about. I know these people." You. start knowing how they think and how. they're going to process. You just. [Â __Â ] been around it. You've been in. this [Â __Â ] MAGA. >> I'm I'm cussing too much. You've been in. this MAGA incubator and you you you know. like, oh, this is the way they're going. to think. This is what's going to. happen. >> Mhm. Yeah. It's pretty um unsavory. And. again, it goes back to the kind of the. death cuff of white male patriarchy,
right? Because we're grouped in, women. are grouped in with black people and. black people are grouped in with gay. people and gay and we're all overlapping. in one big ven diagram of, you know, underlings. Like we're all under in. various forms, you know, it's not like. white women have the same experience as. a black woman. That's not fair to say at. all. So, um, but it's also part of that. It's like it just feels like the the air. is leaving the balloon, so to speak. You.
know, the diaper is crashing because. these policies aren't popular. They're. not working. They're pretending they're. working, but they're not popular. Nobody. likes ICE. Nobody likes watching that. except for Steven Miller. You know, nobody wants to see families ripped. apart or parents that are working here. that are have been here for 20 years. that have jobs and are picking up their. kids from school to see them dragged off. by a bunch of thugs who don't even have. any, you know, any experience working in. any sort of, you know, there half of.
them are, you know, probably January. sixlers and just it's just none of it's. popular, none of it is right, and none. of it is modern. You know, they're. taking us back. We've never had this. country that we're talking about. You. know, America is an ideal, right? It's. an experiment. And hopefully that. experiment isn't over so we can reach an. ideal beyond the one we're living in. because I can't look at this in a short. view and because then I just get so. wrapped up and so angry and I rate and. I'm like, well, it's all going we're all.
dying anyway, which is pretty much how I. think most of the day. I'm like, may as. well have a good time and have another. drink because we're all it's all going. to [Â __Â ] go to [Â __Â ] But but I like to. think of it, you know, like Jennifer Cox. Richardson talks about it, you know, with a longer lens and to just be like, okay, this is a period of time that is. very, very difficult for a lot of people. and it's really ugly and this is not the. end of our story. This is part of our.
story. Part of our ugly story. >> Yeah. And I think that I always try to. remind my listeners and I know you and I. have texted about this about the. midterms and how important the midterms. are and. a lot of that's going on right now with. like issues we talk about um you know. hand ringing in the Democratic party. about people supporting this this taking. super PAC money etc. I think those. conversations are healthy. I think. they're necessary. I think they're a a.
symptom of a good democracy. Right now, in the 50 days leading up to the. midterms, I just keep encouraging my. listeners, number one, make sure you're. registered. Number two, have a plan to. vote in person. If you know old people, people that look like they're. immigrants, sound like they're. immigrants, go vote with them, >> because we have to the turnout has to be. too big to rig. >> Our number one unifying cause right now. has to be defeat fascism. We can get. precious and detailed over other things.
and um primary candidates that didn't. deliver for us but we have to be unified. in defeating these people because MAGA. is a death cult. >> All of their policies lead to death. >> Yeah. I mean these guys all these like. talk about death. these guys, these. these tech guys, Elon Musk, Peter Theal, Sam Alman, these guys, the way they talk. about, they they they know like that AI. will ruin the world or most likely has. the has the ability to do so and they're.
okay with that. >> They they most nefarious. They want. horrible like it's the most group of. it's the biggest group of evil. It's so. everything is evil. Take away health. care. Take away women's rights. Take. away get rid of black people. Get rid of. immigrants. Deport people in chains. Make sure they're dying in these. concentration camps that we're living. in. Like I keep waiting. I'm like, "Are. we going to all just go on strike?" And.
I can't say something like that cuz. people are like, "Well, it's easy for. you to go on strike." But I'm like, "Aren't we going to have a national. aren't we just going to say like the. midterms are one thing, but why aren't. we all in the [Â __Â ] streets? Why. aren't we in the streets until this is. over?" And it's and and you know, I I. know people can't leave their jobs and. they can't take a day off and they don't. have that ability, but I I can't believe. that we're even waiting for the midterms. to make that kind of statement. You. know, I can't believe people are just. let allowing people to go live in. detention centers. 70% of people in.
detention centers have no criminal. record. We have a private p like a. private prison system where the more. people you put into these prisons, the. more money these guys make. They're all. connected. Like how do you know and. we're just going to work and innocent. people are in what I just can't believe. we're letting this happen. >> No, I think that we all I think you just. really put into perfect words what we. all think all the time. Like shouldn't. we be doing more? And the problem is so.
many people capitulated early to this. guy and it changed the trajectory. completely in Trump 1.0. You're. absolutely right. The elites didn't go. kiss ass. The corporations kind of held. the line and they were part of the. resistance. >> But elections have a tricky way of. reconciling things. And for me. personally and for all of our listeners. here, the message that I once sent with. the midterms is not just to hurt Trump's.
ego personally and narcissistically. injure him, which I very much enjoy. It. is also to send a message to all of the. um tech titans and industry uh leaders. who bent the knee against their country. and against their customer base and bent. the knee to a guy who is incompetent uh. not smart. Trump doesn't give a [Â __Â ]. about America. He doesn't give a [Â __Â ]. about his uh supporters and and the. corrupt Supreme Court because I think.
that we need to get as many Democrats in. there as possible because we cannot go. back. >> We cannot go back go back to Joe Biden's. America. We go back to incubated this. We need we need oversight in the Supreme. Court. We need politicians that are are. not taking pack money. We need to get. rid of pack money. We have to get rid of. Citizens United. We have to get you. know, everything's a pendulum, right? We. got we got Trump theoretically because. we got Obama. We got Roie Wade because. we had the Me Too movement, you know, in.
my opinion. I mean, like everything is a. pendulum and everything is a referendum. Like then guess what? Guess what's. coming people, you know? Get ready. because there we are going to take. [Â __Â ] money out of politics. We are. It's disgust. I mean, remember when. there were a couple billionaires? Now we. have a trillionaire every other week. It. depends you know what the stock price is. but like remember when billionaire was a. big deal the amount of money that is. circulating like it just keeps getting.
younger a millionaire was like a huge. [Â __Â ] deal. what would you do that's what I meant. not a billionaire a millionaire thank. you thank you for correction but yes yes. it's [Â __Â ] nuts. >> give us some hope I'm on a comedy tour. >> yes tell in this light to wrap this very. light conversation up. I'm on the High. and Mighty tour. I'm about to film my. next special at the end of this tour. I'm filming it in Vancouver, but I'm. going to be in New York. I'm going to be. on September 25th. I don't know when. this is coming out, but you can go to.
