Well, he did insult Senator Baker. :) Pretty much saying "it's our fault for electing you". Other than that - ye. Pretty clean act... had me laughing throughout..
to perform this way you can't just be a smartass, you need real talent. this guy just happens to use humor to distract you from the fact he's an excellent juggler.
I agree hes a great juggler but idk about "excellent" and certainly not "tremendously talented"... the real talent, the real wonder behind this act is his raw remarkable persona and stage presence. His juggling, yes its very good and professional, but its far from top-class or even close to the greatest TECHNICAL jugglers in the world. For Michael Davis its not so much about technicality or complexity, rather its the ingenious mix of wit and humor that makes this so compelling.
Too bad that's not really what Vegeta said... He really said 8000, but bad translators wrote it as 9000, so people continue to propagate this fallacy even after learning it's incorrect.
"I'm gonna throw the axe in the air, throw the knife, throw the cleaver. And run like hell" Man that was a good line. This guy is just amazing. So glad I found this video
This is the man that got me into juggling. Saw his special on HBO and went out and bought the book "How to Teach a Klutz to Juggle." Have been entertaining ever since. Michael Davis is the Master.
Wanted to say something similar. Reagan wasn't my choice, but I still respected him and his office. The people voted and it was the "other guy's" turn. Even though he was on the other side of the aisle, you never got the idea he was actively trying to f**k over his political opponents and their supporters. Ironically, it was Reagan's dismantling of the Fairness Doctrine, that paved the way for the proliferation of unchecked RW propaganda, such as Limbaugh and Fox, which, over the last 40 years has been responsible for the extreme polarization of the country. Among their viewers, they have formented a distrust in science, media, government and education and directly led to Trump and the situation, this once great nation, faces.
@@hermajesty52 I'm awaiting your equal outrage at anyone trying to deprive people of their 1st Amendment Right to free speech by trampling those rights using jackbooted thugs. You know, like China is doing in Hong Kong, for as you say, we have a Constitution to follow and no one is free to ignore it, least of all those that took a public sacred Oath to defend it.
very funny, what a laugh needed this, it has made my day. And to see all the old timers having such a great time, makes me feel wonderful.. I wish there were more of these, they leave a 85 yr old gal really happy today, Now my work will seem like i have been on a Holiday. Marilyn Dickstein
They have probably seen the act before. The juggler would have been required to show his entire act to the secret service beforehand to determine whether it would post a security risk before being approved to be part of the evening's the performance.
Watched this act a bunch of times at different shows/venues, and this is my favorite since he is playing to the president and other distinguished guests. Even though I know much of the jokes already, Mr. Davis was able to improvise enough to make this routine even more funny! Love it!
@@davenone7312 Well that is how people did things before internet. Comedians using same jokes for 90% of their routine was normal/expected cause who was gonna call them out? Most people never saw them more than once or twice, and even if they did it would have been months if not years apart. It is not cause they were lame, they did it cause like every other human back then (and now) they do the bare minimum required of them to get paid.
@@davenone7312 You poor little kid. You don't know what a touring comedian do I guess. hope you don't find out what stand-up comedians do with their materials. 🙄
i like it how the Secret Service behind the Regans are trying so hard not to laugh but when Senator Baker throws back the apple they look down ttrying not to show them laughing
I'm democrat but this clip is just plain funny. Nasty comments have no place here. Give this talented guy the credit he deserves. Laughing is a wonderful medicine.
What a legend. There is a spectrum of goodness that ranges from Michael Davis to Ronald Reagan, and as such the atmosphere in the room feels adjacent to a solar eclipse.
This is delightful. Love seeing the Reagans, with Mrs. Reagan looking quite stunning, Tip O'Neil and Howard Baker. No, I'm not a Republican, however, I remember when politics was a lot more civil and way more inspiring to watch no matter who was in charge.
I saw this live when he performed it, Not only was he talented, And funny with some mild political humor, The nice thing about this was democrats and republicans laughing together. I miss the good old days!
Does anyone realize how beautiful this is? Performing for the President of the United States of America. No animosity. No vitriol. Most likely he was absolutely honored to be able to do it.
Sadly, those days are as dead and buried as the two great men sitting in the first row. Regardless of political affiliation or beliefs, they still managed to remain cordial toward each other and the rest of the world of politics.
Here is the Original Semitic Text. YOU need to READ this YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
A good one. But Tip was not shown much. A true story about Tip is due. Back in the early twenties my Dad Andy Callahan and Tip O.Neal were school chums. Tip in his early years drove truck in Cambridge and Brighton. They parted company when Tip started to go to College In Bostons Colleges Facilities in Brighton. I only met him one time many years ago in the mid thirties and the family album had a photo of him in a Packard Convertible taken about the middle of the 1930's.
I don’t know how many years I’ve been watching this video but I do know it sends tears down my face every single time. I’m a juggler too but I’m in total awe of Davis’ delivery - world-class comic timing and perfectly clean yet hysterically funny - that is a hard, hard thing to do. What a legend.
How is it lax? You suppose someone works for a decade to become a famous comedian just in the faint hope he can get an axe within throwing distance of the President one day? It’s 1000 times more likely to infiltrate the Secret Service who carry actual guns within an arm’s length of the President.
Which president are you talking about? Cos Reagan was the worst joke to ever be played upon the American people. Oh, you mean Carter? The one before Bonzoboy .... the one who DIDN'T commit treason to become President .... ? Yeah, it was nice to have an honest man with no agenda who wasn't a wholly-owned subsidiary of multiple corporations.
@@greatbingus Oh so I'm wrong am I? Reagan DIDN'T make a deal with Iran over the Hostages (committing several felonies along the way) and you're also saying that Carter was more corrupt than Reagan, Bush, Bush, or Donnie Draftdodger? Let me guess: You think that serving your country in uniform and being a genuine hero like Carter is "bad" and being a treasonous, criminal piece of shit who will sell America to the lowest foreign bidder is "good" ? Yeah, you being a Republican I can see why you'd think that.
@@IanMadBrit ok keep doubling down. I am far more right than a republican and know that all of these people are part of the same bloodline, obama and reagan, trump and clinton and eiseinhower look it up they literally all can be traced together through ancestry but republicans are far and away the lesser of two evils. yeah both sides suck, Trumps kids are all married to peopleofnointerest, Bush kid is married to a personofnointerest, Bidens kids are married to peopleofnointerest, Kamala harris is married to a personofnointerest, Pewtins one daughter is married to a personofnointerest, Zemenski the president of Ukraine is a personofnointerest, you kinda get where I am going and I don't need to spell it out for you or double down... geopolitics is controlled by religious and ethnic peopleofnointerest who maintain an all encompassing theater. The military industrial complex that includes billions if not trillions on the ‘military entertainment complex’ the cia has been part of hollywood since it’s start. The smith mundt act allows the government to spend as much as they want for 'domestic propaganda' and The CIA has been working with Hollywood 'directors' offering favors and access to Langley HQ for productions that portray them favorably - Homeland, Zero Dark Thirty, Black Hawk Down, 24, American Sniper the list goes on and on. It doesn't just stop with shit like Rambo 3 no they advanced along with us every step of the way and now they fund shit like pitch perfect 3 lol... they take a USO tour in the movie and I bet you would never expect pitch fucking perfect was funded by the military but it is also they have their hands in most video games and online communities loads of shit but yeah no they totally fund comedy shows like MASH or A-Team or the Daily Show..... we are devolving it is called the 'military-entertainment complex' look it up it's a multi billion dollar part of the military industry.... idiocracy is coming and you're doubling down on it
Can you imagine how scared and nervous the Secret Service must have been with all those weapons that close to the president? This guy must have filled out a waiver and then some just in case something happened to Mr. President
Pretty sure he’s smart enough to know that, waiver or not, the secret service was going to seriously wreck his day if he started tossing sharp objects at the president … but yeah, they still probably asked him not to do so. ;)
Entertainment doesn't get any better than this-- skillful, hilarious and perfect comic timing by Michael Davis! And always nice to remember one of the best and classiest presidents in U.S. history.
