Ali Siddiq on the Riyadh Comedy Festival: “I Wasn’t Thinking About That”

In a recent episode of Vulture’s Good One podcast, the comedian Ali Siddiq defended himself against criticism of his decision to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. As he explained, he wasn’t taking blood money because he simply didn’t consider all that bad stuff about the Saudi royal family. 

Fox: You performed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Siddiq: Yes.

Fox: And I'm not looking to relitigate whatever debate that was happening at the time, but I imagine your perspective on the situation is different than a lot of people who were complaining about it, or even the people that went to do it. And I was just curious how you thought about that decision and what the experience was like.

Siddiq: Do you know how simple it was for me? I'm Muslim, I'm finna go perform in Saudi Arabia and I'm finna do all of my Islamic material. Never thought about the other aspects of it. And when somebody attacked me on internet, "You had to think about it," I said, "How the freak do you know what I was thinking about?" You don't know what my day is like. I had a lot of things going on. I wasn't thinking about the reporter that got killed. I wasn't thinking about the freedom of speech. I wasn't thinking about that. But how dare you talk about I accepted blood money?

And I said, "Fucking—" and at no knock to nobody, I said, "You fucking white person. I know you not talking about blood money when this whole goddamned country is soaked on the soil of blood from my people that never got... Man, who are you talking to? What are you talking about? Don't attack me for a decision that I made, wasn't thinking about all the rest of it." I'm thinking, "Hey, I'm Muslim. I'm going to a Muslim country to perform Islamic material. I'm not talking about... Ain't nobody told me what not to say. I didn't get no list of things not to say."

"Well, you not telling the truth."

"Okay, man, I'm not arguing with you because see, now you finna make me go somewhere that I don't wanna go because the simple fact that you think that that's what was on my mind. It wasn't. It wasn't. I had no thought of it. But then I'm going to assault you back verbally. Oh, you went to Cancun? I went through your pictures. I saw you went to Mexico. So let's talk about you went to vacation in Mexico thinking that none of this money has something to do with cartels. Oh, okay. But did you go to Dubai? I saw a picture of you in Dubai riding a camel. So you think Muslim Vegas has nothing to do—oh, okay."

But then you sit in this country, in this country and they're still hanging people in this country. They're still assaulting people in this country. But like I say, I can only control the things that I can control. I can't control how people feel about decisions that I make if you don't ever talk to me about the decision that I made.

Makes perfect sense!

Why Bert Kreischer Turned Down the Riyadh Comedy Festival

Speaking of the Riyadh Comedy Festival, here’s Bert Kreischer telling Shannon Sharpe that he turned down the festival not on any ethical grounds, but because he wouldn’t be allowed to perform shirtless:

Sharpe: You plan on going back to Russia? 

Kreischer: Never. Listen, here's the deal. Here's the deal. After the whole Riyadh Comedy Festival debacle, if Putin hits me up and he wants me to do a private show, I think PR-wise, it's not a bad look. I gotta be honest with you, man, I've always put it out there. All my boys went over to Riyadh, it didn't bother me. I got the offer, but they wouldn't let me perform shirtless, so I passed. I didn't know about their politics. I was like, "Not shirtless?" But if Putin hit me up privately and he was like, "Yo, I want you to do standup. I want to hear Machine." I'd be like, "I'll fucking fly to Russia." 

Sharpe: You wouldn't be scared? 

Kreischer: Yeah, I'd be terrified. It's another story. Come on, it's a fucking special. I go to Russia and I fucking ride shirtless on a horse with fucking Putin?

Joe Rogan: Transphobe, Moron

Down in Austin, Joe Rogan recently explained to the transphobic British comedian Andrew Doyle that children stopped identifying as trans when Elon Musk bought Twitter:

Rogan: When Elon bought Twitter, the amount of trans identified kids started to drop off. The amount of non-binary identified kids started to drop off. And that I think is a direct result of people being able to say what they really think. Because in the past, my friend Megan Murphy, she was banned off of Twitter until Elon bought it because she said a man is never a woman.

Doyle: Right.

Rogan: That's all she said.

Doyle: Right.

Rogan: “A man is never a woman.” She was arguing with people about biological males who identify as women, being able to get into women's spaces, and she said a man is never a woman. Banned forever.

Doyle: Yeah.

Rogan: So no one wanted to talk about this. See, there was no real discourse. And if there's no real discourse, then you can push a goofy ideology pretty far. But as soon as people jump on board and start posting funny memes and Elon says, "It's open season, do whatever you want." And he calls it the woke mind virus and everybody's piling in. Well, then you have discourse and then anything that's absurd immediately gets shot down because people say, "No, this doesn't make any sense. This is crazy.”

Hate speech: it works! 

In an episode with Bert Kreischer, meanwhile, Rogan explained (not for the first time) that Watergate was a Deep State setup to oust Richard Nixon, the most popular president in history, who was on the verge of revealing the truth about the JFK assassination:

Rogan: So the guy who wrote Wired was Bob Woodward. Bob Woodward was the guy that was involved in Watergate. He was the naval intelligence officer who became a journalist and his first ever assignment was to take down the president, which is very suspicious. Tucker Carlson told me the whole story behind it. I was like, "What?" The people that broke in were all FBI. The whole thing was a setup. It was to set Nixon up. And they'd already gotten rid of Spiro Agnew, who was his VP. They got him on, I think, corruption charges. I forget what it was. 

Kreischer: Didn't Kennedy put the bug system in there? It was the president before that put the wiring inside the room, right? 

Rogan: What room? 

Kreischer: In Watergate. 

Rogan: No. No, no, no, no, no. Listen, it was a setup. Nixon was not involved in the setup, but they told him about what happened and then he was involved in the coverup. That's how they got him. That's how they got him and that's how he got removed from office. 

Kreischer: And the recordings were from his office, right? 

Rogan: The recordings were from the Democratic Party. So he was recording the Democratic Party. He was secretly recording the opposition party. But he didn't do it. So, the FBI did it. And then they brought it to him knowing that he would cover it up. And that's where he committed the crime. Instead of coming out and saying, "Hey, some people have recorded these people. " And even if he did that, they would've said he was involved.

But the whole thing was to get him out of office. The reason why they wanted to get him out of office was because he was publicly and privately stating, at least amongst other people that were in the White House and that he knew who killed JFK and he was going to get to the bottom of it. Because look, JFK had just been killed. He ran against JFK in 1960—60 or 62? 62? What year was it?—either way. I think it was '60. He ran against JFK. And then JFK gets assassinated. And now he's the president. And when he's the president, he was publicly stating, or privately stating to different people, he was going to get to the bottom of it and he knew who killed JFK. He was investigating it. He was interested in it, obviously, because he was worried they were gonna kill him.

And so then they set him up and they removed him from office and they put Gerald Ford in as his VP. Gerald Ford was also on the Warren Commission. The whole thing was a giant setup to get rid of the most popular president in the history of the country. And everybody's like, "Oh, Nixon's a crook. Nixon's a—" "I'm not a crook." That was all his gigantic propaganda PR campaign to remove Nixon from office. It was all a deep state operation. 

Kreischer: Wow. 

Rogan: Nixon won the presidency with the widest margin of anybody in history. He was the most popular president in history. And in today's days, we think of Nixon as being a crook and a scumbag, but he didn't even do it. He was just involved in the coverup when they brought it to him. Was like, what is he gonna do? He's running for president again to reelection and they're saying, Hey, these guys, they busted these guys recording things like, cover it up, cover it up, cover it up. And so that's how they got him.

Andrew Schulz, Liar

In a recent episode of his podcast Brilliant Idiots, Trump voter Andrew Schulz sagely explained how much privilege it took to abstain from voting in 2024 over one’s opposition to the Gaza genocide:

Schulz: I think if we even go further back, I think it's why a lot of people felt disillusioned by Biden and Kamala. It's like, their handling of Gaza was atrocious to a lot of us. And it was really hard to see that and not see any pathway forward, not even seeing them talking about the stopping of it, not even seeing them even mention a plan or anything about it. And it was just really difficult to see that. It was really difficult to see that destruction. It was really difficult to see fucking dead—

Charlamagne tha God: He also told us that he wasn't gonna be the president of war. 

Schulz: Sure. We're not talking about him right now. It was really difficult to see—but it was really difficult to see dead babies—those things are really difficult. And sometimes—I think that there was a lot of Democrats, not just myself, but a lot of people I think probably abstained from voting because they didn't want to support more of that. And then they also didn't want to support Trump, which is very privileged position to be in. Essentially abstaining is basically supporting the person who won. But I think that is what happened. 

Lest we overlook how dishonest Schulz is being about his own politics here, let’s revisit how he rationalized his own vote for Trump in a 2025 episode of the podcast Triggonometry:

Schulz: When I was younger, Democrats were cool. They were getting their dick sucked in the office. They were supportive of hip-hop music. They said, “Do whatever you want, we don't want to be in your bedroom”—they were cool with gay people. It was cool to be a Democrat. Now, the president got three baby mamas. He's getting pussy left and right. He's cool. He's the one saying, 'Say whatever the fuck you want.' So now conservatives have become Democrats. So, I don't think I've changed. I just like the dudes that get pussy and say whatever they want. You want me to be a Democrat again? Get some pussy, tell me to say whatever I want. I’m there. 

Dave Smith: Still a Nazi

Now let’s turn to our friend Dave Smith, who in a recent appearance on The Jimmy Dore Show complained once again that Trump’s fascistic immigration enforcement tactics aren’t even having any dent on “demographics”:

Smith: To your broader point about the ICE thing, this is the thing I've been really trying to hit all week to make people understand because people will talk about it as if mass deportations are happening, but that's just not the case. It was a year ago Donald Trump walked away from mass deportations. And why is it, Jimmy? What did he specifically say? Hospitality and farming. Translation, big business likes the cheap labor. And so Donald Trump is not standing up to big business. He doesn't stand up to them on anything else. Why would he on this? If you really wanted to...

And look, there's a fair argument to say, "Hey, look, Joe Biden let in 10 million illegal immigrants that the people did not decide we wanted and we have a right to decide who can come here and who can't come here." But then what would you do? You would go after the giant hotel chains. You would go after the giant corporate farmers. So now there's something like 200,000 at most illegal immigrants in Minnesota and they're sending in 3,000 border patrol and ICE agents to go. So again, basically you've got a huge, theatrical show of performative cruelty to not change demographics at all.

And by the way, I saw Tucker's last show and he was doing a whole thing about how inorganic some of these protests are and how violent some of the riots are there. I think that's all true also. A lot of things are going on at the same time.

In an episode of his own podcast, meanwhile, Smith and his cohost Robbie Bernstein—the one who previously called for “second-class citizenship” and “safe places of internment” for immigrants—argued that ICE should focus on compliant areas that will help them root out immigrants, while withholding funding to blue states:

Bernstein: I have an idea here, because sometimes I see people saying, "you know, in the areas where nobody's protesting, they don't seem to have these problems." So here's an idea. Let's say you wanted to get the 20 million people, estimate, that came in over the Biden administration. Why not do this? Why not just start with all the areas that are more compliant and want ICE in their area getting rid of all the illegal aliens? And do the hard areas last? I'm just saying if you want more deportations, why not go into the areas where local law enforcement will invite you in? They'll actually have ears on the ground and be able to tell you where the people are hanging out. You might have landlords who are willing to just go, "Yeah, I got eight people in this one apartment." You might just have more people who are on board, and then you might be able to get a higher volume of people. 

Now, this stat is from the Cato Institute, so maybe it's not accurate, but I think their number is that 72% of people rounded up by the current administration do not have criminal records. So you're not targeting criminals, right? And you're not going after the low hanging fruit to get a large volume of people out. So when you go into an—and also, go after all the fraud. By the way, you can cut off funding to all of these areas—

Smith: Yes. Yes.

Bernstein: —Without actually violently being in the streets and make it less hospitable to be here and clean up. The bigger issue that everyone was upset with in this area was, look how much money's being wasted on fraud. You do not need boots on the ground in this capacity to get rid of the fraud. And then just one more thing. I was reading Stockman over the weekend, and I gotta reread it, but even the crime stats for Minnesota from illegal aliens are minuscule. You're not talking about a large number. So just recap what you're looking at here. They're not actually going after the illegal criminals. There's not a high volume of them in Minnesota. They're not rounding up a high volume. The majority of people they're rounding up are not criminals and they don't even have a high level of deportations. So what is this current thing doing other than provoking local areas that aren't interested in this policy and kind of provoking a fight and showing an authoritarian nature of, no, we're shoving this down your throat, which what you said at the top of the episode, you're not even deporting a large volume of people. 

Smith: Yeah. It's really unbelievable. I've seen people saying that too, where they'll say things like, they go, "Well, Dave, what's the common denominator here? People aren't being killed when ICE is deporting people in Texas and that's because local law enforcement is cooperating with ICE." And I have the same reaction you have. It's like, okay, great. So get all of them out of Texas. Like what are we talking about here? So you're saying, so essentially we could remove the people who are here illegally who don't have a right to be here. We could remove them from all the red areas and only the blue areas would then have this problem? Okay, that sounds like a great start. So let's do that. And then, like all I'm saying is like, you gotta jujitsu this shit a little bit. You gotta have somewhat of a game plan. 

And again, I'm not claiming that I have the perfect fucking game plan, but also I'm not the president of the United States of America. And if I was, that's what we'd be coming up with. And like I'd have a good team of people to do it. Yes, Rob, you attack the areas where you're gonna have overwhelming popular support that will result in the least amount of unnecessary blowback. So yes, going after cutting federal funding for any of the sanctuary states, absolutely. Going after any of the fraud, absolutely blow this thing up. But hey, what's the thing here, Rob? DOGE did find a whole bunch of fraud, right? Trump just didn't have the balls to go through with it. So he signed the next spending bill that didn't have any of the DOGE cuts in there. His Justice Department is too busy burying the Epstein story to be going after any of these people committing these huge amounts of fraud. 

I mean, I know you've looked at this stuff too. I've seen estimates up to 50% of government spending. And maybe it's not that high, but even if it's 20%, it's in the trillions of dollars of fraud. You bust this shit up and then you're real—even if you can't get to the deportation numbers then, at least you've made the situation a lot better. You've busted up the magnet that's bringing so many people in here and you've busted up their mechanism by which they're defrauding the American taxpayer.

And here’s how Smith phrased his criticism of ICE on Twitter: 

The people blindly defending ICE, even in the most indefensible situations, all seem to think the pay off is much bigger than it is in reality.

I see all this rhetoric about “saving America” as if they believe this is going to restore the demographics of 1987.

In reality, we are getting a big show of performative violence, people are dying and the worst elements of the left are being activated, all for slightly higher deportation number than Biden’s last year.

This is not going to “save America” but it just might give us President AOC.

The demographics of 1987.

Tim Dillon Asks Why America Needs Pakistani Doctors 

In his myriad white nationalist rants, Tim Dillon often describes an argument he once had with his liberal aunt, who cited her Pakistani doctor as an example of the benefits of immigration. Here’s how he told the story in an episode last week:

Dillon: …In the tech world, the reason that Elon Musk and all these guys want H-1B visas is so they can bring in Indian and Chinese indentured servants who will work, who'll sleep in bunk beds and work at their companies. They don't care that Americans aren't going to get those jobs and that we're not even focused on training Americans to get those jobs. In the same way that when my aunt told me, "Well, if we slow down immigration, who's going to be your doctor?" And I asked her to explain that and she goes, "Well, my doctor's from Pakistan and he's lovely and I love him." And by the way, great, but is it odd to anyone that Pakistan—kind of an Islamic, theocratic, somewhat dysfunctional country, from what I remember—is producing doctors for the United States of America?

Pakistan is educating doctors that are helping my Boomer aunt and no one things that's a problem. And I asked her, I said, "Well, is that not a problem that we are not creating the conditions where doctors in America are going to med school here and they're from America?" And I'm not saying that people from Pakistan have done anything wrong by wanting to be doctors, but how do you run a society where people from other countries come here, either get educated here or they're educated there, but they come here and they have six-figure-a-year jobs while native-born citizens languish in a failed education system where we just send them to prison because they've become addicted to drugs because they're hopeless?

“An Islamic, theocratic, somewhat dysfunctional country.” “Native-born citizens.” What interesting, reasonable phrases to use.

Matt McCusker, Neal Brennan, and Andrew Schulz Celebrate Racism

Matt McCusker recently appeared on Neal Brennan’s podcast—remember Neal Brennan?—for a wide-ranging conversation that included, among other things, the pair’s defense of the extremely racist jokes that led to Shane Gillis’s SNL firing:

Brennan: Did you feel guilty for baiting him into making all the Chinese voices?

McCusker: Not at the time. We were just handling business. But yeah, I mean, I was kind of the genesis of that whole joke and I felt bad about it. 

Brennan: That's gotta be a pretty big whoops. I bet you did feel pretty bad for a month maybe. 

McCusker: Yeah. 

Brennan: But although, I mean, not like it was legitimate or anything, but I'm saying you must have been like, "I didn't think I was going to get you…" 

McCusker: Yeah. I mean, also too, that was like when they got Al Capone on tax evasion. You know what I mean? We were like, "Yeah, you got us." But yeah, I don't know. I just felt bad he had to go through all that stuff. But at the same time, I just thought it was so ridiculous during the time. I'm like, "Dude, this is crazy." I just thought it got completely taken out of context—

Brennan: Yeah. 

McCusker: —And it was just nuts. So it wasn't even like—I'm conscious of it now though. I'm always kind of like, let me not blow this—

Brennan: Do one of our famous Chinese voices bits? 

McCusker: I mean, yeah. That—I mean, still, it is funny. I can't deny it. But yeah, I try to not—

Brennan: The noodle pronunciation? 

McCusker: Yeah, it's so funny. 

Brennan: Yeah, it's a good— 

McCusker: It's funny. It's classic.

Brennan: It's what it sounds like. [Here Brennan plays a couple clips of McCusker saying "Nooders."]

McCusker: And it's classic. 

Brennan: And therefore it's classic. 

McCusker wasn't the only comedian to defend his past racist jokes. In another episode of Brilliant Idiots, Andrew Schulz and Charlamagne tha God reflected on how the anti-Asian jokes in Schulz's 2020 Netflix special were, in fact, correct:

Charlamagne: You know who Andrew set off first that I thought was hilarious, but nobody ever talks about it? The Asians.

Schulz: No, they love me.

Charlamagne: No, no, no, no. But when you did the Schulz Saves America special, there was something you said on there—

Schulz: I called it the Kung Flu. That's a bar, bro.

Charlamagne: I don't remember what it was, I just remember the Asians were so mad—

Schulz: Yo, they were upset because in the Schulz Saves America, I said it started in China.

Charlamagne: It did, though. It's been proven.

Schulz: I got "canceled" or whatever that stupid term is for saying it started in China. And nobody apologized for me for canceling me for being right.

Charlamagne: I do wish though that on the Poor Minds [podcast], I would've—I liked my answer, but there was something I wanted to add.

Schulz: I wasn't able to do a show in one of these venues, at one of these venues in—

Charlamagne: In Wuhan?

Schulz: No, no, no. No. In Canada, they were like, "he said insensitive shit." This is post-Covid. It was like, "he said insensitive shit to Asians during Covid." And the insensitive shit was it started in China. But they're not looking at the fact that it was real? Isn't that kind of funny, that the only thing that sticks is you said something insensitive, even though it ended up being accurate?

To recap, here's what he actually said in his special:

Schulz: Trump constantly undermined the experts and refused to wear protection, like Drake running through his six. He's played his part and absolutely deserves blame. But is this coronavirus thing all his fault? No. Is it all America's fault? Of course not. To all the people out there saying, "America shouldn't have been showing so much skin,” I refuse to victim blame. I'm a feminist. How about China shouldn't have been shoving it down our throats? Don't tell America what to wear. Tell China not to infect. 

I mean, let's be honest. Next to squatting to smoke a cigarette, slinging viruses is their favorite thing to do. They make everything over there. Bubonic plague, SARS, bird flu, corona, fifteen-second dance videos. I mean, Chinese viruses have killed almost as many people as Chinese dictators. Right now, Winnie the Flu is rounding up whites who wanna be Black and throwing them in concentration—oh, it's pronounced “Weegers?” Got you. I was confused. But, hey, General Ash, why don't you stop playing Pokémon with Muslims? You don't gotta catch 'em all…hamdulillah. How about you start treating wet markets like those mosques you're so afraid of, and maybe we can have Christmas with our meemaws?

Now, let me be clear here. I'm not talking about Chinese people. I love the Chinese. I love Asians in general. I love Asians more than John Thick. By the way, what the fuck happened to this guy's neck? He looks like he got in a street fight with Zangief. But seriously, Asians are the best. I mean, Jeremy Lin, Jet Li, Squirtle, Mickey Rooney. The list is Oolong. These are the people I "wonton" my team. But the Chinese government, though, fuck ‘em. Look, I'm not saying this is a bio-attack on America, but the virus kills fat people. And China has a sugar chicken buffet in every city.

That Time Andrew Schulz Pondered the Benefits of Mass Murder

I’d like to wrap up with a deep cut I rediscovered while working on something else last week. The following is from a March 21, 2020 episode of Andrew Schulz’s podcast, posted under the title “Andrew Schulz on Coronavirus: What If Old People Are OK With Dying From Coronavirus.” As you can guess, the episode features Schulz’s modest proposal that old people be given the opportunity to die of Covid rather than force everyone else to interrupt their lives:

Schulz: But I'm starting to think, if you ever talk to old people, old people, 80 and up, the ones that could get killed by the shit. They're not afraid of death. Regular old people, I think every time I've spoken to them, are comfortable with death. They feel like they've lived a life. They feel like they've accomplished tons. They feel like they've experienced what the world has to offer.

They're not saying, "I want to die." But they're like, "If I do, I'm okay with that. I accept that." And it's an interesting thing, because we made all these decisions before asking old people. We made all these decisions what to do with the economy and what to do and how to handle this thing. What if we were able to just go to old people like, "Yo, some of y'all are gonna die from this shit. We're gonna do the best we can. What do you think we should do? Should we shut everything down, potentially fuck up the economy, make people lose their jobs, lose their livelihood? Or would you guys like to quarantine yourselves until this shit is over? You guys quarantine yourselves and we give you a stimulus package just you old folks. We send some money to you guys. We get helpers deliver you food, which would be way less people."

Instead of sending the National Guard out to shut down every bridge and keep everybody in their house, we could send the National Guard to just drop off some food to the old people. Everybody keeps going on. Life keeps going on. People still working. Everything's good.

AlexxMedia: But let's not send that message out, because I just heard a story. A friend of mine, his coworker, 33 years old, tested positive for it and is now in ICU on a ventilator.

Schulz: So look. Listen, there are gonna be those cases. There's always a case where a guy was 40 year old, he had a heart attack and died or some shit like that, and it's tragic. Don't get me wrong. But the majority we can say of cases, right?

AlexxMedia: The majority, yes, yes.

Schulz: So a little part of me is like, maybe we should have asked these people, because I wonder if these old people would have just been like, "God, we don't want to burden you guys like that. We've lived an amazing life. And if we can self-quarantine and if we can"—I mean, how much do old people even go out anyway? You know what I mean? They play that game where they throw the round silver ball and then they'd throw the little balls at it. What's that shit called?

AlexxMedia: What the fuck are you talking about?

Schulz: I don't know. "Bonaca" or something. I'm not sure what the name of it.

AlexxMedia: Badminton and shit?

Schulz: Backgammon, they're just playing their little games. But I truly wonder if they were like, if they'd go, "Hey, no, we don't want to disrupt what you guys got going on and we don't want to hurt what you guys got going on. Why don't you guys keep doing that? We'll self-quarantine. You guys look after us and make sure that the ventilators are ready, make sure all those things are ready. And then if we call you, come get us." But let's not shut down the global economy over people who potentially ... And I don't know for certain, over who potentially don't fear death in the way young people do, because we fear it, because we love living this life. We can run around, jump around, play video games, you know what I mean? Go out to the bar, drink this, that, the other.

Old people can't do that shit. They gotta nap after every one of those activities. I've just been really curious. We should actually call in to an old person. Or if you guys are living with your parents that are super old, just ask them. Ask them if they would want this, if they would want what's going on. And we always make decisions for people without fucking asking them, man. We always decide what people would want, decide what people would benefit from, et cetera. And I don't know, maybe it's different. Maybe it's fucking different, man. Who knows?

Once again, you can catch Schulz at the Netflix Is A Joke festival in Los Angeles this spring.
