Maybe because I'm a New Yorker and I'm pretty...

You know, used to stuff.

Used to stuff.

You know, I've been mugged.

You think we're gonna be okay?

No!

I hope we're gonna be okay.

In the grander scheme of things, in a long... If you look long-term, we're all gonna die, so that's maybe some good news.

I don't know if I'm an optimist.

I will say, like, I get to talk to a lot of different people.

We cover the news.

You're probably feeling many of the things that I feel when you're inundated with these chaotic stories of war crimes, sex, islands, people who don't take accountability.

It's a scary, strange time we are in.

What where I garner a little bit of hope or where I've seen some of it recently is I'm doing this special that's coming out on Monday.

And for this special, there was a lot of talk about Donald Trump wanting the Nobel Peace Prize.

But what we started noticing is that he talks a big game about peace, but it doesn't feel like peace here back at home in places like Chicago and Portland.

And so we went to Portland.

where there was protests happening outside an ICE facility because of the cruelty that was happening inside.

And as a comedy show, it's hard to make comedy out of something like that.

It's a dark time.
