    Holy shit. I watched the first ten minutes and though "This is good, but not "You can be Anything" good. Then "God Country Family" started and holy shit, well done. The line between "investigative reporter" and "in too deep comedian" gets blurrier every day.

      Actually, I wish that Walter hadn't because it all could have lasted longer. HOWEVER, Ben Palmer, Walter and the crew descended into the belly of the beast where few would dare to tread and fewer still would have as much success as we all witnessed. So yeah, I'm not complaining, I'm in admiration of what Ben Palmer has done.

    • @arcanondrum6543
      @arcanondrum6543 2 месяца назад

      ... Oh and if you haven't already seen it, Matt Gaetz was trash talking former Speaker Kevin McCarthy while McCarthy was being interviewed at the 2024 Republican Convention. You may remember that McCarthy was finally confirmed as House Speaker after a record number of Votes, with Gaetz leading the Republican opposition (all Democrats simply kept Voting for Democrat Hakeem Jeffries).
      What I'm getting at is that all the troubles Republicans have caused the working class has led to Republican lawmakers "eating their own".

    I’m a little late to the show. But, is it nice to see you doing another stand up show. Love what you do, you are pure genius man 🤣

    Thank you for this extended video of your stand up. It was hilarious & I enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Amazing work! A shame that the interviews didn't happen, you could have captured some real gold at the end of all your hard work.
