That's how New Yorkers talk. Until I came here, I realized, oh, it's its own thing.
Yes.
It was a reboot, yeah.
Yes.
That's a great question. I think, first of all, one, we might be in media silos. So the stuff I say on a daily show might not actually ever reach my mega friends because we're all so siloed in our media consumption. That's one. And then two, I think that decent people have a sense of humor. about things, you know?
So I wouldn't take the comment section as reality in terms of what the reaction is to a clip in the comment section from MAGA people about political clip. I don't necessarily think they would react that way in real life face-to-face. And third of all, Hawaii is a very different vibe, you know? Like, Hawaii people know how to get along for the most part.
I think in Hawaii, they know how to put community before themselves, which is very un-American, by the way. This idea that in Hawaii, you know, everyone's very generous and you get more than you give in Hawaii if you come with the right energy. And so I like to think that in Hawaii, I always try to come with the right energy.
I won't be so presumptuous to say that I always manage to nail it, but I think I come with the right energy and I think the locals and the Hawaiians there respond to that. So... You know, they can be, you know, hardcore MAGA people, but they, you know, they're totally cool with me as far as I know.
Oh, you're quoting my special.
Yeah.
Yes.
Those are all very concerning. Don't get me wrong. I think if he does any of that, it is upsetting and subverts the legal process in many ways, in some ways more blatant than others. My answer to that is we had four years of him. And The Daily Show was making fun of him every day during those four years. And essentially nothing happened.
So just going off of history and past evidence, which is all I kind of have to go by right now, is that kind of... you know, that for me, that's kind of a sign of, um, how it's going to be, you know, what, what his bluster versus his actual actions. Uh, I reserve the right to change my opinion. If, if we all end up in jail, if we all end up in jail, then I will, I'll probably be wrong.
Uh, but maybe I'm just, this is just wishful thinking on my part, but, uh, Yeah, he said a lot of concerning things about the law. But I think ultimately, I believe in American institutions. I believe in checks and balances.
You know, I believe that the entire founding of America was geared around having a weak federal executive who is unable to kind of use the government to go after citizens individually. I think that's the whole premise of America. And so because of that, I'm a bit more hopeful.
By the way, what do I know? I'm just a comic, just making dick jokes. But that's what I hope and that's what I believe. And that's why I'm still here.
So I guess American democracy still works as long as the guy who likes overthrowing the government wins the election because then he won't overthrow the government. So with the transfer happening, we're going to be talking about Trump again every day for another four years, I guess.
And I, for one, did not think that when I came out of the jungles of Malaysia to do comedy that I would be making jokes about Donald Trump every day for 13 years straight. 13 years. I don't talk about anybody as much as... I don't talk about my mom as much as I talk about this guy. I don't talk about my wife as much as I talk about this guy.
Yo, my wife thinks I'm having an emotional affair with him. I'm going to be talking about this guy on my f***ing deathbed, okay? Which I assume will be in three years when he somehow brings back the bubonic plague. And you might be sitting at home saying, well, Ronnie, why don't you just shut the f*** up about Trump? Well, for the same reason CNN doesn't shut the up about him. Money.
Lots and lots of money. So let's get these dollars right now and get back to Donald Trump.
