Dave Chappelle is an awesome story teller

[lucidbodylabs]

I love how Dave can tell a story without choosing a side. He sticks to the details and hit it home. The only one who could deliver that monologue without repercussions. Brilliant Dave.

[jtd]

He also got a lot right about the media and Hollywood. Everyone knows he's right, but they're just to afraid to say it.

Dave Chappelle is the GOAT. Only he could tell it like it is, manage to offend practically everyone, yet make people laugh so hard that they forget to be offended.

WORDS are like a sword. Their true power lie in the hands that grip it. The power of words are on the lips that can articulate thoughts and emotions. Dave is a master of words and comedic genius

[hankgs]

Victor Hanson is probably one of the most intelligent talking heads of our day...

[Norvik_-ugge]

Silence of the SNL audience was something to behold.🤣

When Trump said Jeb had low energy, I knew who he understood the average American. The reasons Dave Chapelle gave were also reasons why I supported Trump. They were bashing him for utilizing the laws they implemented.

[a.k.o]

I will never understand why the Trump campaign dosent hire Victor Davis Hanson as a consultant

[dabrinkdabrink]

“Hillary Clinton tried to punch him in the taxes.” 😂 I laughed so hard.

Megyn - Thank you Thank you Thank you for this . Love the way your show comes together. Dave Chappelle is the GOAT !

Dave Chappelle is the American Court Jester. He has flourished on the American Dream, and ridicules its faults same time. I don't mean he's a hypocrite, I mean he tells the hard truth, and because of his job, can get away with it.

[stephaniepruett]

Dave always nails his monologues when he’s on SNL…He speaks the hard truths while making us laugh at the same time.

[quicktastic]

The country is still badly broken and you don't have to like Trump or his style to realize that he's the only one with the cojones to do the dirty work that has to be done. The jury is out on DeSantis on a national level. Would he win the republican primary and start making nice with democrats? IDK. I think it would be a better move for DeSantis to serve the people of Florida, put his national support behind Trump, and let him be the wrecking ball and take the heat (and glory). Then take the reigns in '28.

[backtoasimplelife]

Trump never had a fair shake. I hope he gets his chance. He did so much for us even while he was relentlessly attacked. Now look at the state of our country.

[morrisonreed]

Victor Davis Hanson is consistently brilliant

[annharding]

Chapelle is a national treasure and Senator Paul is a hero for seeing thru the Covid and ChineseTransPropaganda. Etc. etc. Grateful for these public figures especially in 2022!

[roxiecariere]

I compare Dave to George Carlin. A comedic philosopher.
