Calling Out Trump, Phony 'Undecided' Voters & Social Media With David Sedaris 

He could do a tucker face. My dog does that when I play harmonica.

I loved when he said, upon hearing himself read aloud on Letterman, "I thought 'Who is she?'" Exactly the first thing when I heard his voice...yep, he's for real. 😆

@@krisfawcett6119 😆 His voice does not fit his face, but I can't talk bc I have a very husky voice and you'll never guess it until I start talking.

@@marylhere 🤣🤣🤣

@@aimlessbauer9082I turned this in because I have only heard him on the radio and enjoyed his wit ( had never seen him and not sure his kind of odd voice matches his face😬

He so casually says, "Because you have to pretend you care about their lives" (eg your kids) "idkw2 with my face" Sooo relatable! ROFLOL!!! Oooo...he could totally do piglet! PERFECT! Love this guy.

Specially last year!

That was the least funny part tho. I totally understand undecided voters. The aren't party loyalists and they try to decide the lesser of the two evils. When they didn't know how terrible Trump would be but knew how for decades HRC was derided, they voted for him. Fortunately many decided Biden would do better than Trump.

No one tells you how much they spend in Vegas and they dont tell you how they vote

@@thehomeplatespecial597 I think his point was that Trump and Hillary were such opposites that it was silly to be near election time and there still were people who were undecided.

You think for yourself, really? Debunk my playlist and stop dragging us all down please

@@SusanConstant1607 please stop making everything about you.. it's not an attractive look...

@speedy 3776 The george floyd memorial was struck by lightning and reduced to a pile of bricks, located on the side of a bar called MugShots LOL Is God Racist?

@@TheHopetown Sounds like something jr said. And considering the bible was used to justify slavery it certainly has a background of racism

@@pacotaco5526 insert happy dancers

@@TheHopetown God doesn't exist. If what you say is true, its called weather. The chances that you're racist are definitely higher than average considering that you have now posted this celebration of a dead black man's memorial many times throughout multiple threads. Check yourself man, you may not be ok.

@@SaintKines David Dorn and Sequoria Turner’s souls in heaven struck down your false savior, you worship a drug addict. Pathetic fool.

That is fascism.

That's a point i have been trying to wrap my head around for years, all the right cares about is the second amendment( which is extremely antiquated), they have all seemed to have forgotten about " taxation without representation ". I certainly believe the later is much more important.

"The world greatest democracy", "the greatest country on the face of the planet" is just a phrase used as a propaganda tool, mostly by politicians, to make Americans "feel good" about their chauvinistic, and now almost nationalist, country. Sadly, many believe it and it becomes the status quo. When objectively looked at the USA, it's not even close. The statistics on many issues speak for themselves. So much suffering, unfairness, unhappiness and in particular, ANGER. When happiness is used as a measuring tool it's not even in the top 10. And that's self rated. A country that's not full of happy people can hardly be called the "greatest". Anyone arguing to the contrary is probably part of the problem.

@@dutchdna Well said. Very well said!

@@dtschuor459 ;)

they're attention seekers methinks....i didn't even bother with them.

@@TheHopetown He's probably not real. So, he can be whatever you want him or her to be. Sounds like yours is racist.

They were decided from the beginning 😒

@@oc3694 Yep. Trump supporters not having the cajones to fess up...

Lauging requires at least a minimal amount of enjoyment, something David Sedaris, per his own self-reporting about his life experience, is clinically incapable of experiencing. P.S. Don’t be fooled by his momentary expressions of glee at times during this interview. More than likely, they were well-practiced coping mechanisms from years of perpetual discomfort.

@@mumblesbadly7708 He darn fooled me. I think it's called a "dead pan delivery". It's a technique which has been exploited many times in the history of humour. Jack Benny was very good at it. In the UK, comedian Jack Dee uses the technique to good effect.

I love David Sedaris…have seen him on tour, and I have read almost everything he has written! What a gem!

@Chino T. Dear Chino T. WhatS Perfectly LovelyComment!!

@@forreststump11 dead on

they're usually not undecided, they just want to get on tv

I have to wonder if Mike Pence is undecided.

I'm undecided because I don't even know who's running yet.

@reason I figure it doesn’t really matter who the Republicans field, Trump will still be pulling the strings! Is that reasonable?

Ever listen to the NPR Saturday quiz show "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"? He's a regular 😉

I Definitely Want To Read Him !

My mother also got me started on him with Holidays on Ice!

Hear! Hear!

@kissmyaass1 I'll always go with the party that wants to tax the rich. Can't go wrong there. Ffs. The top 2% has 50% of this nation's wealth.

The Democrats are not blind to facts. It’s the Republicans who are willfully blind to facts.

I was on Facebook for a New York minute. Until I was trolled by a true Trump believer ( Russian troll farm) so long FB. Obviously U Tube is different. I particularly enjoy some of the bat S**t crazy sites. I'm sure you've all seen them. The Covid 19 vaccine is Bill Gates plot to track us. Etc. Be funny if people didn't truly believe that B.S. and all the fools who still think t***p won.

Yes!

But here you are

I use it mainly to keep in touch with my radio friends. Since we live all over the world now FB is the easiest place to catch up. I worked for CBS Radio from 2000-2006. I'm still friends with alot of my former coworkers and bosses.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful moment. 😊🌸

Reading to my dying mother and I laughed. Just kidding. I listened to two of his books while on quarantine and laughed many times. His mother and grandmother were wild.

Exactly what I was thinking - nice to put a face to a voice.

And makes me feel too.

My favorite answer was he made his mother laugh as she was dying. Reminds me of making my momma laugh on her death bed. RIP to our Mommas!

@@SusanConstant1607 Your response to "everything?"

Up until 2015, I would never have been embarrassed to be a Republican. Since then, the gop and the trumpanzees have nothing to do with real Republican values.

Never heard of him and he isn't funny at all....Ari was forcing laughter, it was a cringeworthy piece they could have lived without doing....I guess it doesn't matter anyway, nobody actually watches him on television

@@pinchebruha405 Thanks for the tip! I did not know that.

the towers, boston, ok, and more.... were trial runs to see how gullible we were so they could inflict the covid bs on us. Remember at the onset of covid, all the big box stores had barricades around the storefronts? They didn't know how it was going to play out so they took precautions, it's also why they released inmates,,, to make room for the "examples" in case riots broke out. They didn't of course, b/c we are too foolish and accept whatever MSM tells us to accept. We FAILED the test miserably, the majority fell for the covid BS and now there are close to ONE MILLION deaths from the 'cure'... and countless life long serious injuries! The side effects may not be immediate, but this fall flu season we will see unprecedented deaths, and it won't be from the FAKE DELTA variant or covid. it will be from the immune system attacking itself. Too bad people were brainwashed. NO vaccine is EVER needed! We've been killing and maiming our children for decades... trusting healthcare workers who told us.. side effects are evidence of the vaccine "working". The truth is .. side effects are the body's NORMAL response to POISON! This was Never about covid, it has been about genocide and getting us all schipped

The vaccine is not poison at all.

@@oltedders I'm often disappointed when someone takes over from an anchor I like and respect, but Jason Johnson proved that he needs his own show.

I imagine a number of conservatives are. They know they can't vote for whoever Republicans decide to run because they're going to turn the US into a dictatorship, but they also can't accept voting for a Democrat. So it will depend on who runs as independents.

Nice, again the uneducated

@@marvinmartion1178 I am appalled!

😄👏👏👏

I love watching smart boys talk. I have found it alluring since I was a kid...

??? From his body language of crossing his arms protectively across his chest, I would say Ari does not like David, and I think he made David feel uncomfortable. I felt the tension in the air. I am a big fan of most, but not all, of David Sedaris's writing.

You should have thrown up on their shoes.

Maybe he was really saying, "None of your beeswax!" I have a friend who told me that how people mark their ballots is secret, a privilege of being a US citizen.

lol. I was thinking Truman Capote also.

Aldous huxley or george orwell is more like it, sheeple

He may have understated it here, and maybe his edges are smoothing out, but he really doesn't underestimate them. He has splayed them to the bone quite often in the past

Piglet voice too

Julia: Bless you for saying that!

Thank you! That drives me nuts.

Was thinking exactly the same. I'm guessing he knows the correct pronunciation, and just mixed it up with "askew", as in awry...

Biden has a ways to go before I would say all that, but I do think he has things headed in the right direction. ✌️

But is he going to be healthy enough to run again? I hope so. Desantis is just a smarter tr***. Scary.

I was Republican leaning, but voted for Hillary and Joe. Some of Joe's policies surprised in not a great way, but Joe at his very worst is far and away better than djt, even IF he attempted to do anything that wasn't completely destructive and totally toxic.
