@@SamsarasArt exactly. He was clearly saddened that Americans allow things to happen. He was someone that would've fought for freedom on a battlefield if there was ever any support for a battle. But you can't do anything by yourself, it takes working together and the people of this country have failed to rise to their obligations. I think he was just ready to leave this world by this point.
He was saying this in the 60’s on his record albums and live shows. He said it more modified for tv-shows. Message is same just different delivery. Intelligent and smart ass as hell. Right on
This is a masterpiece. How can one man encapsulate the truth in 11 minutes in such a witty way without wasting a word or pausing for breath? Pure genius.
I bumped into him walking the vegas strip a few months before he died. Said hello. He was very friendly and extremely kind to me. Very special memory for me.
TigRshark I got married in Vegas a couple of days before he was supposed to be there. I missed him. It was a couple months after he died. I am regretting to this day not staying to see him. Love the teachings of brother Carlin. May he Rest In Peace.
Jerry Samuels I still cry...There’s places in the southern part of my state that has conditions of that of a third word country, National Guard in Afghanistan couldn’t be tested for COVID, the Afghan town had tests. We give billions to other countries, billions to corporations, Wall Street even, than out people die because of no healthcare. Our government spends every penny it gets, give tax cuts to the wealthy, corporations paying 18% now, raid SS, borrow money, than holler they have to cut social programs to balance the budget. Anyway, I do have a dark sense of humor, George is the only one who’s ever been able to tell a rape joke and it be funny because it was so true.
@@chaserofthelight1737 You have every reason to cry Virginia. Our country has sold us out I think. Still, you are probably much better off than most people, because of your level of awareness? Like those who came before us I think we must still somehow find hope, inspiration, love and the will to thrive and help others thrive notwithstanding the enormous tasks we face in front of us.
Genius is what we thought in 60’s listening to his albums. It was all going on and coming on at that time. We were the last generation to try and stop it.

Hope is a good thing. And Jewish reflections of the Messiah are the most beautiful in all the world. ❤ If we are someone who thinks we have to 'earn our soul', we may have missed the point that our soul is a free gift from God. Treasure our soul with our whole heart and give it carefully back to God when we are done with it. ❤ I think a free exchange of information is something to strive for. But I think so much confusion mushrooms into chaos when no clear explanation is given. The Scriptures often record God being coy when He speaks. For example, when God asked Adam and Eve where they were, it's not like God did not know where they were. However, in the book of Habakkuk, the prophet says to God, “Your eyes are too pure to look on evil” Is this passage from Genesis where God cannot see Adam and Eve an example of God's eyes being too pure to see them? I am trying to understand this from a distinctly Hebrew Perspective. But admittedly my understanding may be imperfect. I suspect this passage in Genesis may be from God the Father's Perspective. According to John 5:22-23, "Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him." Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know! I suspect something much deeper is going on now in history. Strength, according to Tolkien, manifests itself most clearly not in the exercise of power but rather in the willingness to give it up. When you are moved by the Spirit you manifest love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are the weapons we use in battle. Against such things there is no law.
@@itsonlyacommentsnowflake3346 Yeah, it's bullshit. People these days like sugar-coating and feel-good shit when what they actually need a reality bitch slap in the face to snap them out of it.
@The big man is in the house! Oh, and you totally overlooked the good screwing we're getting with this corporate bailout and demand people go back to work ASAP, and die trying? You're blind, Dude. Not worthy of Carlin.
George Carlin saw the big picture. I joined the Army at age 17 and served for 8 years. Now, my son is 16. There is no way in hell I would recommend that he enlist. Fight for what? Oil companies? Politicians? If push comes to shove, we have a nuclear deterrent-which I hope we never need-but let’s let our kids grow to be more than cannon fodder for corporations.
I’m glad that I never enlisted in the military when I had the chance to when I was young. I’m 41 now. I was in NJROTC in my first semester back in high school, but I got kicked out all because I wasn’t performing up to their expectations. But they did me a favor. The more I learn about it, the more I realize that it’s all a big sham, all in the facade of “serving & dying for our country.” All of these people in the military that are doing so are *_really_* serving & dying for the rich politicians, the wealthy elites & corporations who funds money for their money laundering, proxy wars while instigating wars on many countries.
I'm a Marine Corps peacetime veteran and I probably wouldn't serve again because of my love for this great country that has fallen so much in the 2 1/2 years. This country is ran like a big corporation and not like a government should run a country. I still believe capitalism and democracy is the best form of government but it has been corrupted over 75-80 years. Ever since the end of WW2 when the big corporations started giving senators and congressman earmarks which is just big cash bonuses to vote the way of the company and not the man. It's been a long time to corrupt the greatest country in the world and us regular people are too poor, uninformed and just fucked out of effectively changing it. I'm trying to start by voting Trump. If I have learned anything about the government it is the thing, person, or policy they talk the worst about is the one that's best for the American public and not the elites. They have been talking mad shit about Donald J. Trump since 2015. I can relate because I used to be a Trump hater til 2019 when the left started getting crazy with the trans ideology and crazy policies. I had to step back, remove my hate for Trump and look at the whole picture. Then it only took about 20 minutes of my own research not from the mainstream media but other credible sources to find out Trump wasn't racist. That was my main issue I thought he was racist because I heard it twice a day from the lying ass news. I stopped watching all MSM except for the Gutfeld show on FOX. Fox isn't really all that right wing they are there to appear right wing to give the American public the illusion of choice.
NOT a Prophet because of his LANGUAGE is NOT appropriate, however the message is ACCURATE, and IT is TRUTH. He would NOT get away with that language today either, but for the WRONG reason. The Bible is accurate and TRUTHFUL teaching us the Spirit of Prophesy in a RESPECTFUL way. The Holy Spirit is our TEACHER, but can only be OBTAINED through the proper avenue. No SHORT CUTS.

It's 100% true. There is no real American dream in this country anymore. It's so sad and President Trump was the only one who gave us hope in the American dream since he was the greatest president we ever had in this country.
@@thirdbase6870 Yes, Trump was the greatest leader and president we ever had in American history. There will never be another president as good as him.
@@brandonmiller2171 Every American generation has had to earn our own freedom facing one radically absurd challenge or another..... One man can't fix it all by himself, not even the great George. 🤷♀️ What this country is facing now is just the tempering test of our own time.... And now we also understand for ourselves just how history has been SO violently polarizing in the past; the historically infamous choice between "freedom" and "security" once seemed like a no-brainer in America until something emerged that made people feel legitimately insecure. A person has to *seem* practically psycho to choose freedom, between the two; can't enjoy freedom if you're dead....... 😷💸 But nor is anyone secure if they're not free! 😱🛢️🎣
Even years after his passing, George Carlin is still relevant. His style was something else and his shows were just great. RIP George Carlin, you have the best legacy!
"It's called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it." What a line. George's work is timeless and is, unfortunately, ever more relevant these days.
Carlin is so relevant. This makes me want to cry with frustration. The last three supreme court justices came to us via the corporate system!! I wish people could take the blinders off!
Wow, this speech on Dumb Americans was absolutely George Carlin's finest hour as an intelligent comedian and George Carlin would definitely have a field day with today's America in 2024. I always loved George Carlin. I miss George Carlin dearly, he did a superb job exposing America, and George Carlin along with Richard Pryor were both the most brilliant and greatest American comedians of all time.

Gregory Casey The idea of capitalism is way deferent than the reality of it. This is no free market, this is the 1% not redistributing it’s wealth for the 90% to distribute and the 1% owning almost 100% of the general market of products and services.

@@email4664 I have never seen Qanon “education” literally anywhere. Meanwhile, the bastardized and lying mainstream media that has zero credibility and is an extension of the executive branch of gov is everywhere.
When I first saw this show (in my mid 20s), I felt enlightened-the curtain coming down on the spectacle that I had been believing throughout my youth and young adulthood. Now when I rewatch it (approaching 40), not only is it still relevant, but the problems he’s ranting about are 10x worse. He tried to warn us. The world today could use more of his honesty-if nothing else, it would continue to shed light on our passive acceptance of our current reality. RIP ❤
About as real as it gets and the thing is no one no govt official would ever have the balls to say that the game is rigged. Why? Because they know and they think were not smart enough to figure out how fucked up everything is.
He's right when he said that the owners of this country dont want well-educated, well-informed, critical thinkers who question how they're getting screwed.
What these world owners currently forgot is the spirit of man. regardless of how dumb the population is, once enough of the population reaches critical displeasure with their lives and their government, once enough people are dumbed down, the dumbness will invade them and make dumb choices like the media. then the dumb people will learn one simple thing, so simple that any dumb person would fully commit to, and that is BUY AND HOLD.
I actually barely laugh with George's stand ups. They are so REAL that I just keep quiet and pay attention to what he's saying. The world lost a great mind.
Carlin's later career is more performance art than stand-up. He was always a bit more than a stand-up, but the last 25 years got increasingly serious and "truth-telling."
No, he left it to us to use for another 40yrs or so. Like that old pair of pliers, or that vise grandpa gave you with enough quality that it still holds it's worth many years later...today's tools get thrown out, this one'll be here awhile. you know, to fix shit with...

Ive seen this fucking take in every single carlin video. Come up with something original ffs. He wasnt a "philosopher", any one can come to these conclusions. It kinda obvious when one looks at the response to covid-19. He was just funny while doing it.

I envy anyone who got to see him live. I’m 31 so he died before I ever had a chance to go and it seems like the energy in that room is electric. I’ve never seen anyone who could rile a crowd up like Carlin. I’m listening to this alone on my phone and I nearly stood up and starting pounding on my chest. 😂
He was one of a kind-great in so many ways. I am a Canadian and his comedy and writing was Universal. He made me a better writer and thinker and I think if he were alive; he would be ripping this society a new asshole. We all miss him. I used to be an optimist; believing that humanity still had a chance: I think it might; but it's getting smaller and smaller and this may sound like a cliche' but the young children give me a sense of hope. Provided everyone and everything else, doesn't fill their head with complete garbage. Scratch a cynic and you'll find a disappointed idealist. 90 different genders, gender fluidity, otherkin-what is this stupid shit? 3rd wave feninism, sjw's "woke"-more stupid shit. Stupid shit is abound we're living in a world now; that would either terrify Orwell or make him blow a load in his pants and have a big stupid grin.

@@prernarawat8443 I agree Third wave feminism is antithetical to anything to do with equal rights and empowering women. I don't identify as a feminist, but I do have respect for people like Cristina Hoff Summers and I do respect strong, intelligent women (My mother is one after all and my Father is my hero.) Third wave feminism contradicts itself; and thus, as a movement--falls flat on it's gender fluid, non-binary, gender pronoun having ass. It operates under the guise of strength and equality for women and at the same time; wants special treatment and like every woman should be treated like delicate flowers, with tender fragile peddles. Well, which one is it? because too opposing forces cannot occupy the same space harmoniously. These snowflakes are so flimsy; that any person, be they man or woman, who comes forward and challenges the ideology, threatens the very foundation and so; they quiver in their boots and rather than defend their position--they have to resort to mob mentality tactics: Smear campaigns, trying to get people fired, fabricating bullshit. What a bunch of pussies. Didn't anybody ever tell these pricks that there are no such things as "safe spaces?" The world,for all of it's beauty, mystery and wonder; is also harsh, at times cruel and can be brutal. Not to drag this on: but there are documentaries out there about plants and other elements of nature that can and do, very easily kill people; that sort of throws that whole, living spiritually with nature and all that into question--to me, anyway. This goes for our modern society too: it can be a harsh place. As a kid: one of the things I was taught was respect and that it is something that is earned: you don't just give it out by default.; so perhaps the whole idea of "safe spaces, without exception-is totally the wrong approach (of course it is) It is more a matter of respect, earned through action and communication. I'm a physically handicapped person, with cerebral palsy myself and one of the things I really hate about this PC BS: is transablism. People who intentionally cripple themselves because of how they "feel." Most people don't even understand their feelings, to begin with. I think there is a distinction between feelings and emotions: an emotion is a state of being, while the feeling is an objective expression of that state and one is in correspondence with the other: it's like a feedback loop. Much like a lot of language; people use terms, without always understanding what they mean or the origin. Just like we have drug addicts and alcoholics-people are not encouraged to enable them; yet some doctors, have actually carried out these transabled procedures. You want to talk about somebody being an enabler of illness? Ironic isn't it, given the Hippocratic oath. Using is something that I do because I have to and I'll probably always have to. I'm cool with it; it's a lifelong thing; but it isn't something I'd wish on anyone else; not even my enemies. If you think it's easy, you gotta another thing comin'. It doesn't discriminate either; black, white, gay, straight, male, female, human or animal. It can happen to anyone. And when it does: there's no going back. Still, these transabled people are being encouraged to intentionally cripple themselves. Fuck off! As long as that's being allowed though; I say bring on the trans-humanism, bring on the nanomachines that can repair damaged tissue and organs, allow stem cell therapies to help the paralyzed to walk. Besides, allot of these kooks today, like to sing the praises of abortion-almost like it's a trivial subject. I saw one you tube video, where a fat woman said: "I'm going to have 10 or 20 abortions." Well, holy shit! No values, no morals, no empathy. Just narcissistic, self-entitled, self-serving, psychopathic bullshit. I should stop; but I could go on and on about this type of stuff. SJW's like to take minorities and use them; to further an agenda and in doing so: they tarnish or damage those minorities: they are not a voice for them. Sjw's poison and taint everything they touch. If they all, stood around the Grand Canyon, held hands and jumped in at the count of 3; how many people would be sad, I've wondered? Relax, that's called humor, it's the visual you get in your mind that's humor; a bunch of PC robots, standing around, holding hands, singing some song, before they all jump. They are a cult after all. Look, I get it: this is this generation's "revolution"-but I worry fourty years from now; when they real feel the brunt of what could happen. I know they consider themselves to be like flower children or something; but they ain't. They're being manipulated and used by Globalists and they don't even realize it. I didn't want to believe in a Globalist conspiracy: Well, fuck me! We see more and more of it, with every passing day.

prerna rawat but calling feminism “cancer” isn’t constructive at all. I agree, it’s cancer, but that’s not a statement I’d use as an offering to refine their “movement”
This started out funny but the last half was a sad reminder of how right, Carlin is. These corporations want the WHOLE WORLD now and it seems we’re gonna give it to them.😞
George was a brilliant political satirist. He had incredible insight into american society and was spot on and his words still are because NOTHING HAS CHANGED in politics decade after decade. It has only slid closer to darkness/fascism these days. He was sounding an alarm in a digestible form. His humor was the spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down.
You're so right about Carlin. Like a man ahead of his times, literally. He's been gone for a long time, yet you'd swear he's here now talking about certain people in politics who are as dumb as they can be, or the others who are so narcissistic & have the followers ( or cult) believing every word. Dumb as a bag of rocks! Stupid loves stupid. I miss Carlin & still read his books. His books would probably be on the banned list.
Trump changed alot though snd exposed all the corruption If he had and they wouldn’t be after him like they are I would encourage you to watch George carlins it’s a big club and you’re not in it it’s about politics
@mighty mouse I believe that Carlin would condemn the violence, but he would understand the frustration and at least try to understand what's happening and why it's taking place. He is an intellectual who would absolutely try to get to the bottom of an issue.
I think we wrongly call him a comedian, he was, but honestly he was a philosopher in his own right. An ability to accurately view the entirety of American way of life like this is way beyond the abilities of the average or even great comedian. We’re short- changing George here. He was a genius.
Why must we treat these ways of thinking as mutually exclusive? They're not. George Carlin was many things including what has been discussed prior, and almost assuredly more.
No $hit Sherlock !! IT's Now 10 Times beyond ALL that he mentioned back then decades ago !! He couldn't even come out on stage in today's world without being viciously attacked by the current leftist commie world.
Loved Carlin for years & he was a genius & tells it like it is! Amazing insight, a pro at opening our eyes! Spot on & his words ring true more so today! RIP George we will miss you! God Bless!
Don't know about that. Try smack talking folks in charge in Russia or China. Doesn't matter how hard you kill... you get killed. But what's worse, a country that's so scared about guy speaking the truth, so he's gonna be killed; Or one, that lets you say anything you want, because it knows you ain't gonna change shit anyway?!
If anything, it's gotten WORSE. Shared on FB & said "George Carlin w/ the truth so long ago. Miss him so much. Don't Watch if you're "Politically Correct," Sensitive, or believe in "The American Dream." If you've a SENSE of Humor, laugh UR butt off." 100% accurate. $1.8 Billion the GOP just spent to take the house. Peace & Love (George Carlin) M ;)
Unfortunately America has become exponentially dumber since GC passed away... Only if he saw how dumb these people are now, literally voting for their own demise, would he really see the meaning of "stupidity" and how it has destroyed virtually everything in this nation over the last couple years. Right now, it's literally the sheep voting for the wolves and these idiots are none the wiser.
So what are you going to do the truths he told, let them continue and say, "what can I do about the corruption. Are you all so blind, to let it continue, so you all have something to whine about. And do you all really care enough to change it. The ball has always been in the whiteman court, forcing and teaching others how to operate dishonestly.
