I'M JORDAN KLEPPER. I'M BACK FOR MY SECOND NIGHT HOSTING "THE DAILY SHOW," AND LET'S DIVE RIGHT IN, BECAUSE I
HAVE NOT EVEN STARTED MY TAXES. WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW TONIGHT. I'M FINGERING THE PULSE AT THE WORLD'S LARGEST GUN SHOW.
AND WE'VE GOT LIVE MUSIC: CHARLEY CROCKETT IS HERE TONIGHT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
LET'S GET INTO HEADLINES! ♪ ♪ [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] LET'S START WITH SOME
BREAKING NEWS. APPARENTLY, WIDESPREAD LYING AND DECEIT MAY HAVE SOME CONSEQUENCES.
WE ARE BACK WITH OUR BREAKING NEWS COVERAGE. JUST AS OPENING STATEMENTS WERE ABOUT TO BEGIN IN ABOUT TO BE
HAD IN A STORK TRIAL, DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SUING FOX FOR DEFAMATION, LAWYERS ON BOTH SIDES REACHED A SETTLEMENT, AND
ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS SETTLEMENT. THE LAWYER FOR DOMINION ANNOUNCED THAT FOX WOULD BE PAYING DOMINION
$787,000,000.500000. Jordan: WOW! [AUDIENCE REACTS] Jordan: $787 MILLION, THAT
IS A TON OF MONEY. ALREADY STRAPPED FOR CASH. TUCKER CARLSON CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE FACIAL EXPRESSION.
LOOK, I AM GLAD THAT THERE IS SOME ACCOUNTABILITY HERE. BUT STILL, I AM PRETTY DISAPPOINTED WE ARE NOT GOING TO
GET A TRIAL, BECAUSE ALL THE FOX ANCHORS WOULD HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TESTIFY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE THE
SEINFELD FINALE, BUT INSTEAD OF SOUP NAZIS, IT IS JUST... [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] NAZIS.
SINCE FOX WILL HAVE TO PAY NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS, THEY WILL NEED TO IMPLEMENT COST-CUTTING MEASURES.
SADLY, THEY HAVE TO FIRE BRIAN KILMEADE'S READING TUTOR. JEANINE PIRRO HAS TO SWITCH TO THE CHEAP BOX OF WINE.
DEVELOPMENT ON A THIRD DOOCY HAS BEEN HALTED. THEY ARE HAVE TO SWITCH FROM JESSE WATTERS OR TAP WATER IS.
AND OF COURSE, THEY HAVE TO PUT DOWN SEAN HANNITY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] LET'S MOVE ON.
YOU GUYS A SMELL? SMELL THAT SMELL? THAT COMBINATION OF JIM'S WIDE AND OLD SPICE AND UNEARNED
CONFIDENCE? FEELS LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF ALPHA MALE ENERGY GOING ON IN POLITICS RIGHT NOW.
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK IN THE NEWS, THERE IS AN ALPHA MALE WHIPPING HIS PECKER OUT, MARKING HIS TERRITORY, PUNCHING WALLS AND
STARTED CRYING. REAL TOUGH GUYS. GUYS LIKE RON "THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKING" DeSANTIS.
WHO IS DOWN IN FLORIDA WAGING WAR ON A CARTOON MOUSE. THIS MORNING, THE ONGOING FEUD BETWEEN FLORIDA GOVERNOR
RON DeSANTIS AND DISNEY IS INTENSIFYING. DeSANTIS NOW FLOATING THE IDEA OF THE STATE DEVELOPING LAND
NEXT TO DISNEY WORLD. COME TO THINK OF IT NOW, PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WELL, THERE'S WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH THIS
LAND? MAYBE TRY TO DO MORE AMUSEMENT PARKS. SOMEONE EVEN SAID, LIKE, MAYBE
YOU NEED ANOTHER STATE PRISON. WHO KNOWS? I MEAN, I JUST THINK THAT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
Jordan: OKAY! A STATE PRISON NEXT TO DISNEY WORLD. COULD YOU IMAGINE WHAT POOR
WALT DISNEY WAS THAT IF HE SAW THIS? I MEAN, FIRST, HE'D PROBABLY HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT ALL
THE JEWS AND BLACK PEOPLE ALLOWED IN THE PARK, BUT AFTER HE SORTED THAT OUT, HE WOULD BE VERY UPSET.
THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A PETTY MOVED BY I WANT I WANT TO BE DICTATOR BUT AS A PRISON NEXT TO DISNEY WORLD AND INHERENTLY BAD
IDEA? I SAY NO. AS LONG AS THEY WALK UP STRICTLY THOSE DISNEY ADULTS, WE ARE
GOING TO BE TOTALLY FINE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE ADULTHOOD FEEL LIKE CHILDHOOD,
BUT GUESS WHAT! THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU PAST 30! BUT IT WASN'T THE ONLY ALPHA MALE ON ME ALPHAPALOOZA
MAIN STAGE. THERE IS ALSO JIM JORDAN -- A LOT OF JORDYN FRANTZ. LAST MONTH, JIM JORDAN'S BRO
DONALD TRUMP WAS INDICTED BY MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG, FOR NO REASON BESIDES COMMITTING CRIMES!
BUT JIM JORDAN WASN'T GONNA LET THAT STAND. THAT'S WHY, YESTERDAY, HE WENT AFTER ALVIN BRAGG, IN
ALVIN BRAGG'S OWN BACKYARD, RIGHT HERE IN MANHATTAN. THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HELD A RARE FIELD HEARING IN
NEW YORK, BILLED AS AN EXAMINATION OF CRIME IN MANHATTAN. OHIO CONGRESSMAN JIM JORDAN
RALLIED AGAINST MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG. THE POLICIES BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THIS DISTRICT
ATTORNEY ARE GOING TO RUIN THIS GREAT CITY. Jordan: I AM SURPRISED. ONE, HE ADMITS NEW YORK IS A
GREAT CITY. NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR THAT. AND TWO, THAT THEY ACTUALLY HELD A HEARING ON CRIME.
PRETTY SURE IGNORING CRIMES WAS JIM JORDAN'S WHOLE THING. [APPLAUSE] CONSIDERING THE MURDER RATES --
[APPLAUSE] CLAP FOR IGNORING SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS. I APPRECIATE IT.
CONSIDERING THE MURDER RATE IS MUCH HIGHER IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, WHICH IS, AND JIM JORDAN'S NECK OF THE WOODS, MAYBE HE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN HOLDING CRIME HEARINGS THERE. BUT EVEN PEOPLE FROM OHIO DON'T WANT TO SPEND TIME IN OHIO.
I CAN SAY THAT BECAUSE I AM FROM MICHIGAN, AND OHIO IS OUR NEW JERSEY. [APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER]
THERE IS STILL ANOTHER GUY OUT THERE WHO MIGHT BE THE MOST ALPHA MALE EVER. HE'S SUMMITED EVEREST,
HE'S THE REAL-LIFE INSPIRATION FOR JOHN WICK, AND THE CURRENT FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
GEORGE SANTOS. [APPLAUSE] HE'S JUST STARTED HIS FIRST TERM IN CONGRESS, AND ABSOLUTELY NO
ONE WANTS HIM TO RUN AGAIN. HIS CONSTITUENTS ARE EMBARRASSED BY HIM, REPUBLICANS WANT HIM TO GO AWAY, EVEN THE DALAI LAMA
SAID HE WOULDN'T SUCK HIS TONGUE WITH A TEN FOOT POLE. WHICH MEANS THERE'S ONLY ONE THING A REAL ALPHA MALE WOULD
DO. EMBATTLED REPUBLICAN NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN GEORGE SANTOS GOING BACK ON HIS WORD THAT HE
WOULDN'T RUN FOR REELECTION. INSTEAD, HE LAUNCHED HIS CAMPAIGN FOR REELECTION ON HIS 100TH DAY IN OFFICE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C, IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE AN AMERICAN. IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE A
REPUBLICAN AND IT'S A GREAT DAY TO ANNOUNCE REELECTION. SANTOS IS UNDER LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL, AND INTERNATIONAL
INVESTIGATION. Jordan: SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT SANTOS, BUT IT IS UBER ALPHA TO RUN FOR REELECTION WHEN
YOU ARE AS UNPOPULAR HE IS. THEY HAVE HAD TO REFUND MORE DONATIONS THAN THEY HAVE TAKE IT IN, TRULY.
WHICH MEANS, HE IS TECHNICALLY RAISED NEGATIVE $3,000. YOU GOT TO GIVE IT TO GEORGE SANTOS.
HE IS THE ONLY ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO HAS OFFICIALLY TAKEN MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. ALL RIGHT.
SO WHO IS TODAY'S REIGNING ALPHA MALE? TO HELP ME DECIDE, HERE IS DESI LYDIC!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] DESI, WHICH OF THESE MEN DO YOU THINK IS THE TOP ALPHA? NOT TO OUT-ALPHA YOU, JORDAN,
BUT NONE OF THEM. THESE ARE ALL A BUNCH OF BETA BITCHES. RON DeSANTIS?
HE'S LOSING A FIGHT WITH THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH. I HAVEN'T SEEN DISNEY TRAMPLE A LEADER LIKE THIS SINCE MUFASA.
AND JIM JORDAN FLEW ALL THE WAY TO NEW YORK JUST TO TALK ABOUT HOW SCARED HE IS OF NEW YORK. RELAX, JIM.
GO SEE THAT MICHAEL JACKSON BROADWAY SHOW. IT ALSO IGNORES ABUSE ALLEGATIONS.
YOU'D LOVE IT! Jordan: HOLD ON. DESI, HOLD ON. THERE HAS TO BE AN ALPHA.
OH, I'VE GOT AN ALPHA FOR YOU. TODAY'S TOP ALPHA MALE... IS MY GIRL
SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN. AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY. ROLL IT! THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRAT
SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN HASN'T CAST A VOTE SINCE FEBRUARY BECAUSE SHE'S STILL RECOVERING FROM SHINGLES.
HER ABSENCE IS HOLDING UP PRESIDENT BIDEN'S JUDICIAL NOMINEES. SOME DEMOCRATS CALLED FOR HER
RESIGNATION. SHE'S 89 YEARS OLD. SHE'S BEEN AWAY FROM CAPITOL HILL FOR SEVEN WEEKS.
THE SENIOR SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA ISSUED THIS STATEMENT. "I REMAIN COMMITTED TO THE JOB
AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FROM HOME IN SAN FRANCISCO." YEAH! CHECK OUT THE TRUCK NUTS ON DI!
THAT, RIGHT THERE, IS AN ALPHA. Jordan: OKAY, I DON'T GET IT. DIANNE FEINSTEIN CAN'T PERFORM
HER DUTIES ON THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, AND IS REFUSING TO RESIGN. WHAT IS ALPHA ABOUT THAT?
THINKING THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD DO YOUR JOB AS GOOD AS YOU, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE BARELY DOING YOUR JOB?
THAT IS PURE ALPHA MALE. THAT'S SOME LOGAN ROY SHIT. Jordan: NO SPOILERS, NO SPOILERS.
OKAY, I'M GIVING YOU ONE MORE DAY, THEN I SPOIL IT. Jordan: OKAY. LET'S SAY THIS IS A POWER MOVE
BY DIANE FEINSTEIN BUT THERE'S MORE TO BEING AN ALPHA MALE THAN NOT GIVING UP YOUR JOB.
NO, NO, JORDAN. IT'S NOT A JOB. IT'S A SEAT. SHE'S IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW,
HOLDING DOWN A SEAT IN WASHINGTON D.C. THIS IS THE WIDEST CASE OF MANSPREADING IN HUMAN HISTORY!
Jordan: BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE HER ALPHA. THAT MAKES HER A STANDARD MALE. BUT SHE'S ALSO STOPPING 12
JUDGES WERE TAKING THEIR SEATS AND PREVENTING THEM FROM PROTECTING WOMEN'S RIGHTS. AND PREVENTING WOMEN FROM THEIR
RIGHTS IS ALPHA MALE. Jordan: I SEE IT. I SEE IT. [APPLAUSE]
TOP DOG DIANNE IS RIPPING A PAGE OUT OF THE OLD BOY PLAYBOOK, GRINDING IT UP, AND SNORTING IT
RIGHT OFF A HOOKER'S ASS. I SALUTE YOU, DIANNE! Jordan: WE SALUTE YOU, ALPHA DIANNE!
DESI LYDIC, EVERYONE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT, WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE HOT NEW
WAY YOUR KIDS CAN KILL YOU.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Jordan: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE DAILY SHOW."
WITH ALL THE GUNS IN AMERICA,
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT EVERYONE
WHO WANTS A GUN HAS A GUN.
SO WHAT DOES THE GUN INDUSTRY
DOING TO TRY TO KEEP SELLING
MORE PRODUCT?
I WENT TO THE WORLD’S LARGEST
GUN SHOW TO FIND OUT IN ANOTHER
EDITION OF "FINGERS THE PULSE."
♪ ♪
AMERICA: LAND OF THE FREE AND
HOME TO AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT
OF MASS SHOOTINGS.
SO I WENT TO THE WORLD’S LARGEST
GUN SHOW IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, TO
INVESTIGATE OUR UNIQUE OBSESSION
WITH GUNS.
THE BOUNTY WAS PLENTIFUL.
SMALL GUNS, BIG GUNS, KATANAS
FOR SOME REASON, MORE NAZI’S
WAKE THEN HARLAN CROW’S GUEST
BATHROOM.
11 ACRES OF GUNS.
SEEMS WEIRD TO USE ACREAGE AS A
MEASUREMENT OF GUNS, BUT THIS IS
AMERICA.
WHY ARE YOU HERE TODAY?
>> AMERICA.
AMERICA.
>> Jordan: YOU ARE HERE
BECAUSE AMERICA...
>> YES.
GUNS.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Jordan: I FEEL LIKE THAT AS
AN AMERICAN HAIKU.
LITTLE E.E. CUMMINGS.
ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO?
>> BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT GUNS
FREE.
>> Jordan: THAT IS RELAXING TO
YOU?
>> YES.
>> Jordan: SORT OF LIKE YOUR
BONSAI TREE IS LOOKING AT AN
ARRAY OF GUNS.
MAKES USE END.
>> MAKES ME FEEL BETTER.
>> Jordan: THIS GUY MADE HAVE
WELL HAVE BEEN AT A MEDITATION
RETREAT BECAUSE THEY WERE
SELLING GUNS EVERYWHERE
INCLUDING THE PARKING LOT.
>> YOU WILL HOPEFULLY SELL THAT?
YOU NEED A LICENSE?
AND YOU KIND OF GO TO THE GUN
SHOW?
>> TRY TO FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO
BUY THEM, FIND WHAT YOU LIKE.
>> Jordan: IF SOMEONE IS LIKE,
I AM INTERESTED, I WILL BUY IT,
WHAT DO YOU DO?
>> YOU KIND OF LOOK THEM OVER.
>> Jordan: THAT IS WHAT A
BACKGROUND CHECK HERE IS IN
TULSA?
>> THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO COME TO MALICIOUSLY GET
GUNS MOSTLY.
>> Jordan: WHY NOT?
I GUESS IF I WAS LIKE, I NEED TO
GET A GUN QUICK TO DO BAD
CHITCHAT, THIS IS ACTUALLY
EXACTLY WHERE I WOULD GO.
HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING FOR?
>> ABOUT 900.
>> Jordan: WHAT IF I CAME UP
HERE AND WAS LIKE, HAD A LITTLE
BIT OF A ROUGH DAY, MY WIFE JUST
BROKE UP WITH ME, FEELING A
LITTLE ON EDGE.
HOW MUCH FOR MY GUN?
>> IF SOMEBODY LOOKS STUPID OR
LOOKS LIKE HE IS CRAZY AS SHIT.
>> Jordan: WHAT IF I SAY THE
WORDS THAT SOMEBODY IS CRAZY AS
SHIT BUT I LOOKED COMPOSED LIKE
I DO RIGHT NOW?
>> I WOULD PROBABLY SELL IT TO
YOU.
>> Jordan: THE SELECTION OF
FIREARMS WAS DIVERSE, THESE
DAYS, THERE IS ONLY ONE REAL
STAR OF THE GUN SHOW.
WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO SEE?
>> AR-15s, TACTICAL, JUST WANT
TO ADD TO IT, TECHNICAL, MAKE IT
HAVE SOME LASERS.
>> Jordan:>> Jordan: WHY IS THE
SUCH A GOOD GUN?
>> IT IS COOL.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE USE THEM FOR
DAY-TO-DAY.
>> Jordan: THERE’S A LOT OF
DAY-TO-DAY AR-15 USAGE?
>> I HAVE AR STYLE BUT I USE IT
FOR CALLED HUNTING.
>> Jordan: HOG HUNTING?
>> Jordan: I GOT ONE FOR HOG
HUNTING, SQUIRRELS, DEER, WILD H
>> Jordan: YOU’RE KILLING WILD
HOGS?
YOU’VE BEEN THREATENED BY PIGS?
>> MY DAD HAS.
>> Jordan: WHY DO YOU THINK
THE AR-15 IS SEEN AS SCARY?
>> BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A
MILITARY WEAPON.
>> Jordan: DO YOU THINK IT IS
SCARY BECAUSE IT KILLS A LOT OF
CHILDREN?
>> THE WEAPON ITSELF DOESN’T
KILL THE CHILDREN.
IT IS A PERSON WIELDING THE
WEAPON.
>> Jordan: WHY DO THEY TEND TO
USE THAT WEAPON IN PARTICULAR?
>> BECAUSE IN MEDIA IT IS
PORTRAYED THAT WAY.
>> Jordan: IN SCHOOLS, IT
HAPPENS THAT WAY.
AM I MISUNDERSTANDING THIS?
IF AR-15s AREN’T THE REAL
THREAT IN AMERICA, WHAT IS?
>> LOOK UP BICYCLE ACCIDENTS.
LOOK UP TRAMPOLINE ACCIDENTS.
>> ACID ATTACKS.
>> Jordan: ACID ATTACKS?
ARE THERE MASS ACID ATTACKS?
>> NOT MASS BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
>> STATISTICALLY, THERE ARE MORE
MURDERS COMMITTED IN THIS
COUNTRY EVERY YEAR WITH HAMMERS,
BASEBALL BATS, AND OTHER BLUNT
OBJECTS THAN ANY HANDGUN, RIFLE,
SHOTGUN COMBINED.
>> Jordan: BUT THAT STATISTIC
CAN’T BE CORRECT.
>> MORE ACCIDENTS, FALLS,
TOYS --
>> TWO BY FOURS.
>> YOUR TABLE.
>> Jordan: SEEMS LIKE WE
SHOULD BE LOOKING AT ALL MURDER
WEAPONS FROM THE GAME OF CLUE
AND THEN THE OTHER LOWER LEVEL,
THE AR-15.
THE MORE I TALKED TO THESE
PEOPLE, THE MORE I WONDERED IF
ALL OF HIS TACTICAL SHIT HAS
ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF GUN
CULTURE?
>> THIS IS A NEW THING.
>> THAT’S A NEW THING.
>> Jordan: I WENT TO MONTANA
TO TALK TO RYAN, WHO SPENT 25
YEARS IN THE GUN INDUSTRY, BUT
NOW ADVOCATES FOR GUN SAFETY.
>> I THINK WE TROUBLED BY THE
FIREARMS CULTURE THAT HAS
EMERGED IN AND AROUND GUNS IN
OUR COUNTRY NOW.
IT MIRRORS MUCH OF OUR POLITICAL
RADICALIZATION TEN
TRANSFORMATION AS A COUNTRY.
THE INDUSTRY ITSELF, PRIOR TO
ABOUT 20052006 WOULD NOT ALLOW
ANY KIND OF TACTICAL GEAR,
HARDLY ANY AR-15s, NO BULLET
PROOF VEST, NO HELMETS, AT
SOME TRADE SHOWS.
IT SEEMED LIKE THE INDUSTRY
UNDERSTOOD THAT PROPAGATING THAT
KIND OF THING COULD LEAD TO VERY
BAD SHIT.
>> Jordan: AR-15 AT A GUN SHOW
IN 2009 AND YOU ARE A WEIRDO?
>> 2008, 2009 WAS WHEN THE
WEIRDO STUFF STARTS WEARING OFF
BUT YEAH, YOU WERE A WEIRDO
THEN.
NOW IT IS COMMONPLACE, NOW IT IS
UBIQUITOUS.
>> Jordan: BUT THEY USED TO
USED TO BE WEIRDOS.
>> THEY USED TO BE WEIRDOS, YET.
>> Jordan: AR -- I KNOW A LOT
OF LIBERALS THINKS IT STANDS FOR
ASSAULT RIFLE.
THEY ARE WRONG.
IT STANDS FOR ARE YOU LOOKING AT
MY SMALL PENIS?
>> IT SOUNDS FOR THE FIRST
COMPANY THAT DEVELOPED IT.
>> Jordan: AUTOMATIC RIFLE.
>> LIBERALS SEE THE AR-15 AND
TEND TO THINK IT IS A WEAPON.
IT FEELS LIKE YOU GO TO A GUN
SHOW ON PEOPLE SAY IT IS FOR
HUNTING, IT IS FOR SPORTS.
WHO IS RIGHT?
>> ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT
THE INDUSTRY’S OWN MARKETING AND
P.R. FOR THE INDUSTRY SELLS IT
AS AN OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF WAR.
>> Jordan: THEY ARE TRYING TO
MARKET TOWARDS KIDS?
>> YEAH, SO GUNS HAVE LONG BEEN
MARKETED TO KIDS, TARGET GUNS,
TRYING TO GET KIDS INVOLVED INTO
SHOOTING SPORTS AND HUNTING.
BUT WHAT IS DIFFERENT NOW IS
THAT BEING MARKETED TO KIDS
THROUGH THINGS LIKE THE JR 15,
THE JUNIOR 15, NOT THE AR-15
COME WITH AGE AR-15.
IS DRUNK AND DOWN KIDS VERSION
OF THE AR-15.
>> Jordan: AJR-15.
IS THAT IS SO LITTLE KIDS CAN
STAND UP TO A GOVERNMENT
OVERREACH?
>> IF YOU ARE A WORLD ABOUT
CHILD GROOMING, THERE IS YOUR
CHILD GROOMING.
>> Jordan: THIS IS HOW GUN
MANUFACTURERS ARE REACHING OUT
TO THE PUBLIC.
>> THE JR-15, CHECK THIS OUT.
>> Jordan: WE HAVE PACIFIERS
AND A SKULL.
>> TACTICAL PACIFIER.
>> Jordan: TACTICAL PACIFIER.
MY 2.5-YEAR-OLD WOULD BE DRAWN
TO THAT.
>> THIS IS A MAGAZINE COVER.
YOU HAVE THE VICIOUS SKATEBOARD
ATTACKER AND THE BOY’S FATHER
DEFENDING HIS TERRIBLY AFFECTED
FAMILY.
>> Jordan: IS THAT IN CASE
TONY HAWK GOES CRAZY?
>> YES.
>> Jordan: HONEY, GET THE
SWORD, TONY HAWK IS HERE.
>> 2018 HUGE AD AT THE INDUSTRY
TRADE SHOW, GUYS IN JEANS,
T-SHIRTS, BACKWARDS BALL CAP,
AR-15, STAND-DOWN PROTESTERS,
HERE, YOU HAVE KYLE RITTENHOUSE.
JEANS, BACKWARDS BALL CAP,
T-SHIRT, AR-15, SHOOTING AT
PROTESTERS.
>> Jordan: THIS IS TWO YEARS
APART.
>> TWO YEARS APART.
THE MARKETING WORKS.
I DON’T KNOW HOW -- IF YOU CAN’T
DRAW A DIRECT LINE BETWEEN THOSE
TWO THINGS, I CAN’T HELP YOU.
>> Jordan: WHAT ARE STEPS WE
CAN TAKE TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF
MASS SHOOTINGS WITH WEAPONS LIKE
THE ERROR 15?
>> I THINK, LIKE WITH POLITICS,
A LOT OF THIS IS ABOUT VOLUNTARY
SOCIAL NORMS.
YES, LEGISLATION NEEDS TO BE
ENTERED TO DO TO HELP REINFORCE
SOME OF THESE NORMS BUT SOME OF
THIS IS GOING TO BE ON US.
>> Jordan: THAT’S RIGHT.
IT IS ON US.
SO IT SHOULDN’T BE TOO HARD FOR
ALL OF US TO COME TOGETHER AND
AGREE ON WHAT WEAPONS SHOULD AND
SHOULD NOT BE OWNED BY THE
AVERAGE CIVILIAN.
SHOULD WE BE ABLE TO BUY TANKS?
>> YOU BUT YOU.
>> Jordan: YEAH?
>> YOU BUT YOU.
>> Jordan: TANKS ARE OKAY.
SOON WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE AN
APACHE HELICOPTER?
THERE SHOULD BE A LINE OF THE
THINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE?
>> MAYBE WE SHOULDN’T GO ALONG
WITH NUCLEAR BOMBS DROPPED TO
HER BACK.
>> Jordan: THAT IS THE LINE?
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BITE, NUCLEAR
BOMBS, WE STILL HAVE SOME
FIGURING OUT TO DO.

PIECE THAT THEY’VE BEEN WORKING

EVERYONE I EVER DEALT WITH IN
THE BUSINESS FOR THE MOST PART.
AND MY FIRST RECORD DEAL, I WAS
DISCOVERED ON THE R TRAIN HERE
IN MANHATTAN.
BUT YOU KNOW, THE DEAL THAT I
DREAMT OF, LIKE YOU HAVE HEARD
MANY TIMES BEFORE, IT NEVER IS
WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE.
AND SO ANYWAY, THEY ARE DOING
THIS BIG PIECE ON ME NOW,
BUT THIS JOURNALIST WAS SAYING
THAT A COUPLE OF MY OLD
MANAGERS, THEY SAID, CHARLEY,
THEY ALL SAID YOU HAVE A PLAN,
THEY KNEW WHERE YOU WERE GOING,
THEY KNEW YOU HAD THIS GRAND
SCHEME.
BUT I NEVER DID.
YOU KNOW?
THE REASON I STARTED PLAYING IN
PUBLIC AND ON STREET CORNERS IN
THE FIRST PLACE WAS, THIS WAS A
CAREER OF LAST RESORT.
HARD LUCK AND CIRCUMSTANCES PUT
ME ON STREET CORNERS.
I WOULDN’T BE IN THIS BUSINESS
IF I HAD HAD AN EASY WAY.
AND SO THERE WAS NO GRAND SCHEME
TO BEAT THE GAME.
THE ONLY THING I EVER WANTED TO
DO WAS KEEP PLAYING, YOU KNOW?
I AM NOT A COWBOY.
I AM A COWBOY SINGER.
I WANT TO KEEP SINGING MY
COWBOY SONGS.
THEY MIGHT SOUND A LITTLE
DIFFERENT THAN SOME OF THE OLD
