hmmm why? Is this pushed down out of site, shadow banned, or just banned? Why are people or youtube removing this that all need to see? 3 2 1 honest factual reality check.. Don't be scared, anyone, just keep calm, smile, joke appropriately when appropriate and do what's needed! Honest Factual Reality check of what THEY try to hide on this earth again now perhaps more than ever before. While most are obsessed with getting "rich?" their selfish desired forms of escapism and needless [poisoning excessive materialism. lust and addictions here's what's really going on... Here's the evil crazy massively polluting insanity while they claim to be stopping "global warming?" and "climate change?". How do they get the big all nations war going? Ruin the earths economies with the evil insane large portion of the earth's hierarchy, their corporations, governments and criminal bribed helpers all stealing as much as they can in every way they can. This creates massive inflation, poisoning and destruction all over the earth. This forces people to take hierarchy slave classes-controlled positions, government and military careers, jobs and lives of crimes. All of which are endlessly self-punishing miserable suicide organizations, secret societies, clubs and cults! Then off to war to be depopulated aka mass murdered. Wars cause power consolidation and massive profits also from industrial and other revolutions that massively pollute, waste resource's, kill CHILDREN, people and poison the earth and its places. All for consolidation of power, for the most insane rulers, their control, to attempt to put in more of the technology illegal spying and controlling people slavery BEAST system all over the earth So, they're ALL full of crap massively! The End! for most on earth. They're INSANE. Those who poison CHILDREN, adults, the earth, ruin place atter place and mass murder, bring the same upon themselves! The end of insanity cycle and IF anyone is left afterward, they will have to hide far away anywhere in any not ruined by their mass insanity poisoning of the earth's places. Here's what they're really doing secretly. Poisoning mountain tops, snow, and waters that run downhill in every way! They also go into springs, streams, lakes, rivers and the oceans. Also, toxic poisons from weapons, chemical, bioweapons, depleted uranium and so on. Total lunacy! Who wants to be behind such madness, help in it, or allow it!? The politicians are around 99% liars, scammers, terrorists and thieves running slave classism for even worse criminal hierarchy. The corporations and governments are also for-profit corporations. They also promote everything about getting rich, to sellout CHILDREN, humanity and the earth. Meanwhile they never let you have enough power, or money to compete with the rulers. If you get out of line, they abusively reeducate you, by taking your money and materialism, or worse lock you up for slave labor / to steal taxes and skims from the system or get you to commit suicide. Additionally, THEY have plans to offer you to be exterminated if you don't want to go to jail or prison. Total mass insanity. Find other options people! That's how this is stopped, or at least you survive! I'm posting here and everywhere as much as I can to get final warnings out to anyone deserving on how to stop and avoid this massive insanity! I usually post on infowars but they were threatened by hierarchy and government yet again with arrests and being shut down or were cracked/hacked to stop it. Likely told if they don't stop the spread of exposure of the terrorism/crimes run TOP on down. Politicians all over the earth selling out everyone else! Claiming to be for the people while profiting off terrorism, crimes and often owning stocks/investments in poisoning and profiting of RUIN of CHILDREN, adults, and the earth plus wars and mass murder slavery corporations/systems etc. etc. Most likely this means the free flow of information in comments that expose the terrorism and crimes in hierarchy and governments etc. They threatened to kill me so many times I cannot even count them anymore. Most they say and do are all lies, scams, fear threat coercion terrorism crimes, rights violations other REAL working laws violating crimes of all types they can come up with or do and bluffs with these control freak terrorists and criminals. Also, if you protect rights all day every day and everywhere plus a very short set of working all of history laws only that also protect everyone's rights, then this mass insanity stops ASAP and AMAP! As Much As Possible! Pass it on!

Was he always in the best position to judge? The drugs, the shattered relationships, the weaponising of comedy that he epitomises. "Muhammad Ali wanted to beat people up.../ if you don't go to kill people (in Vietnam) then we're not going to let you beat people up" that's quite a funny statement, when he puts it like that. But it's not a joke - it has the element of surprise, for pleasurable anxiety, the relief of laughter. But that sort of thing is a weakness into the world of real humour, even rebellious, ruder humour, for the politician, for free lance pundits like George Carlin to take over. There are so many people doing it that way now, it's saturated with liberal fascism.

Comedians in courts have always had that role really, no one could speak bluntly to the king, and say for example that the king did something wrong or something of that kind. But the comedian could make a joke about it, and then the king could receive the information without having to kill the guy for being ''irreverent'' towards the authority of the king. Because after all, it was just a joke, right? That's why I hate when comedians say (to get out of trouble) that ''it's just a joke, just a show, nothing of this is real''. Of course it is, otherwise it would not be interesting, and certainly it would not be funny. So today they make a funny joke about feminism/women, then they hide behind and say it's all made up, just a joke, but we know it isn't.

Only a few things in my life where I actually remember where I was when I heard he the news. His passing was one of them. Not sure why or the reason it's only a handful of events that I can clearly remember, but it is. Maybe it's a similar way of thinking, or realization (and repsect) of words having meaning, the silliness of politics, racism, and a need for political correctness, but whatever it is obviously he and his ideas, thoughts, and grievances (see what I did there) have shaped me as I grew up. I turned 21 years old on October 17th in 2001 (just 5 weeks after 9/11) So as most turning 21 living in So CA do, I go to Vegas with a friend (that was of age) and some family. This was all completely unplanned, and I had no knowledge of him even being there, but when we showed up and pulled into town (on the 16th) we see on a huge neon sign GEORGE CARLIN @ MGM GRAND 10/17 !!! Obviously sold out by now, or waaaay too expensive, probably both. But we go out that night and at midnight start to gamble, blackjack.. By 3am myself, my buddy, and my mom had all won $300-$500 each. So now I'm thinking, it's prob sold out but let's try to get these tickets. We show up at the MGM at like 930am as ticket booth opened at 10. They open we ask, and the lady said, I'm sorry but unfortunately all the seats have been sold. Bummed but what we somewhat expected I say, are you sure, and my buddy adds in "its his 21st bday". She says, yeah, I'm sorry, all seats are sold out. We start to walk away and get about 10 paces away when she calls out for us. She say "so I wasn't even aware of this, and I just looked, but apparently we have 2 tickets available in the sound/light area (like a bullpen at a baseball field) but they're just chairs, no table, no drink service, just 2 chairs. "We'll take em..!!" Needless to say, BEST FKN SEATS IN THE HOUSE..!! And if I remember correctly the tickets were only like $70. No need for a table, and a little flask with a soda was all we needed. ...there was also a lingerie convention in town that weekend, but that's another story. Saw him only once live, but I'm proud and happy to say I was able to. The way it all unfolded and happened was crazy lucky though looking back

I realized this is similar to a modern day podcast format, but filmed many years ago, pretty incredible. I discovered George Carlin and his comedy recently, and I haven't been able to stop binge watching him and all the amazing work he's done. It's insane to me how relevant and applicable almost EVERYTHING he ever said is to today's world. He was such well educated and well spoken person, and he definitely did his research when it came to writing his comedy because of all the tiny details he mentions that a lot of people don't notice. I'm so grateful for his existance and thank God we have the power of the internet so we may never forget about great people like him.

You only just discovered Carlin recently? How old are you? 10? Ever heard of Elvis? Ali? Michael Jordan? The Beatles? I seriously doubt that George ever had to 'research' anything. He was a genius. And how do you know what people 'notice' and what people don't? George was not 'well-educated', and he'd be the first to tell you that. But he was very smart.

And to sum the thing up, I think his profession was - GENIUS!

Agreed, I get so annoyed with interviewers that have to chime in constantly with a "mhmmm" or a "yea", or with their little side stories. It is so distracting, and disrespectful (even if by accident). I noticed this interviewer doesn't even nod silently in agreement, he simply lets Carlin tell his stories. Definitely an undervalued skill, to which this interviewer did a wonderful job.
