Okay.

So unlike DC police chief Pamela Smith, that was a mic drop moment.

You heard her earlier in the show telling him it's not a mic drop moment, but watch me in the space.

Dave Chappelle does not need to tell people to watch him in this space.

Now, he also, that was in DC, made a joke about how he was prepared to come to DC and be very upset by the law enforcement takeover, Trump's law enforcement takeover.

And he was like, yeah, it was pretty clean, everyone.

This is what you get with Dave Chappelle at his best, which is you cannot in any way whatsoever pin him into one category.

You cannot put the man in a box at all.

He also referred to Bill Maher, as you heard him there say, F that guy.

He also talked about his cracker ass commentary.

And listen, there are two different things happening.

On the surface, there's the comedy.

And then under the laugh lines, the punch lines, there's the substance of it.

And some of the substance is the Saudi Arabia stuff.

Dave Chappelle doesn't want you to believe necessarily that he's some moral champion.

He wants you to believe that he is saying whatever he wants to say, right?

That's what he's going for at the end when he's like,

We need a code word so that I'm not co-opted.

Like, what he wants to be judged by morally is not being told what to say.

So if that's his standard as a comedian, that he wants the public to judge him by, then he's obviously passing with flying colors.
