Andrew Kolvet and Daisy Address Pete Davidson's Distasteful Joke About Charlie Kirk's Assassination on Netflix Roast

[00:00] We are joined on set by Daisy. I'm back.

[00:03] >> Welcome back. Happy Mother's Day. Your

[00:05] first Mother's Day as a mother. So,

[00:06] congratulations.

[00:07] >> It was lovely.

[00:08] >> Good. Yes. You are sort of like

[00:10] officially unofficially back coming into

[00:13] the to the office.

[00:14] >> Back. As much as I love my job, I do

[00:17] miss my baby.

[00:18] >> So, well, we figured we'd throw you in

[00:19] the deep end and put you on the show uh

[00:20] day one. So, welcome back. So, I woke up

[00:23] this morning to a number of

[00:27] press inquiries. This was like TMZ,

[00:30] uh, Entertainment Weekly, Fox, it was

[00:34] like the whole ran the whole gamut. And

[00:36] they were asking me about a particular

[00:38] comment by a particular, we'll say,

[00:40] comedian, actor that uh made a joke, I

[00:45] guess, at I guess kill Tony's expense,

[00:48] but it was really sort of at Charlie's

[00:50] expense. And I don't want to go into

[00:52] detail, but many of you in the audience

[00:54] probably know about it. There was a

[00:55] roast of Kevin Hart on Netflix over the

[00:58] weekend and it was sort of the followup

[01:01] to the roast of Tom Brady which I

[01:03] actually watched and thought was funny.

[01:05] It was a little bit runchy at times. The

[01:07] Tom Brady one was good. I did not watch

[01:09] the Kevin Hart one last night but I

[01:10] watched the Tom Brady one. I thought it

[01:12] was like pretty good

[01:13] >> uh all things considered for a runchy

[01:16] roast which all roasts are pretty runchy

[01:18] but at least Tom Brady's it felt light.

[01:20] It felt it felt um genuinely happy.

[01:24] Everybody was kind of in good spirits.

[01:26] This just I didn't watch it, so maybe I

[01:29] should hold back my full opinion, but

[01:31] this just felt a little bit darker, a

[01:34] little bit more vicious. The jokes were

[01:37] uh less funny and more sort of like like

[01:40] cringe inducing. Anyways,

[01:43] Pete Davidson made a comment uh that

[01:45] referenced Charlie's assassination. And

[01:48] apparently, I mean, it was all over my

[01:49] ex feed this morning. So, we brought in

[01:52] our cultural commentator to help us

[01:54] address it, which

[01:56] >> I think we should say what the joke is.

[01:57] >> You want to say it? I don't even want to

[01:58] say it. I found it that distasteful.

[02:00] >> I I get it, but we if we're going to

[02:02] discuss it, I think we we're not going

[02:03] to show the video. I think we should say

[02:05] what it was. So, if you're if you're

[02:07] sensitive to this, mute this briefly.

[02:10] I'm just going to explain what the joke

[02:11] was. So Pete Davidson was at this roast

[02:13] of Tony Hinchcliffe

[02:15] >> and he was of Kevin Hart.

[02:17] >> It of the Yeah. So but as a roast you're

[02:20] ridiculing a bunch of different people.

[02:22] Yeah. So roast of Kevin Hart but he was

[02:24] roasting Tony in the audience.

[02:26] >> And Pete Davidson who's a comedian

[02:29] celebrity

[02:30] >> who just got all his tattoos removed.

[02:31] >> Famous for dating way out of his league.

[02:33] >> Yes.

[02:34] >> A variety of things. He did get his

[02:36] tattoos removed which he we discussed

[02:37] positively on thought crime I will note.

[02:40] But he said this joke going after Tony

[02:42] Hinchcliffe. Tony is here looking like

[02:45] both a child molester and the doll they

[02:48] give to the child to show where he

[02:50] touched them. And then he continues,

[02:51] "Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk in that

[02:54] he's definitely been on camera letting a

[02:57] guy unload in his throat." Now, I will

[03:00] note the Hollywood Reporter says, and I

[03:03] confirmed watching the video, the

[03:05] audience response is not positive to

[03:06] this. There's actually a very big groan

[03:08] in the audience. Uh you see a couple

[03:11] people laughing, but mostly the audience

[03:13] is not into that joke. So it is that's a

[03:16] good sign. I think a lot of people

[03:18] >> reporter went on and said right that it

[03:20] was too early.

[03:21] >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That the audience

[03:22] response suggested that uh it's too

[03:24] early for jokes about what happened to

[03:27] Charlie.

[03:27] >> Well, and I just want to say this. So

[03:28] when Charlie got I would say roasted by

[03:32] South Park, I remember my first uh my

[03:35] first reaction was like this is amazing.

[03:37] Th this is the coolest thing ever

[03:39] happened. Like lean in, lean in,

[03:40] Charlie. And he absolutely did. It's not

[03:43] that we don't love humor and that we

[03:45] can't laugh along with actually funny

[03:48] jokes. I would make two observations.

[03:50] one, this is about somebody who was

[03:53] murdered uh in in really the most

[03:55] grotesque like public way imaginable and

[03:58] he happens to be our close friend. And

[04:01] so it for me my perspective is just I

[04:03] can't obviously divorce myself from the

[04:06] immediiacy of the person that we're, you

[04:09] know, talking about here, Charlie. Um

[04:11] but two, you know, I just I I don't

[04:14] think it was funny. And when I saw the

[04:16] clip this morning, I my instinct was my

[04:19] I just cringed because kind of in the

[04:22] similar vein that the people in the

[04:23] audience like that groan because, you

[04:27] know, I I'm listen I'm not here to tell

[04:29] comedians that they can't do. You can

[04:31] joke about whatever you want. I I I

[04:33] think comedy can be a really powerful

[04:36] outlet, especially when the the culture

[04:37] was getting increasingly woke. Guys like

[04:39] Dave Chappelle were like this release

[04:41] valve on some of these these tense

[04:43] cultural moments. I thought they were

[04:44] really important. I think comedians can

[04:46] be very important for this particular

[04:48] moment. I I just

[04:51] just felt distasteful.

[04:52] >> It's not it's not a question of can you

[04:54] or can you not say something? Anyone can

[04:57] say what they want to say. It's more of

[04:59] a question of should we be saying all

[05:02] these things. And it's also just a

[05:04] question of morality. I feel like like

[05:06] maybe we all need to be called to a

[05:08] higher standard. I know that comedy is

[05:10] supposed to be crass and it's supposed

[05:12] to, you know, be on the line.

[05:15] >> It's not supposed to be crass

[05:16] necessarily. It's supposed to be

[05:17] challenging.

[05:18] >> Comedy has more of an allowance to be

[05:20] crass. You can lean that way. But the

[05:24] issue that I have with this more so than

[05:26] anything is that we were talking about

[05:28] Pete Davidson's roast that they did of

[05:30] him. Pete Davidson's dad died in 911. He

[05:32] was a firefighter in New York. He died

[05:35] going up one of the towers and then the

[05:37] tower collapsed. And his roast was

[05:41] filled with jokes about that which I

[05:43] equally think is disgusting. Like not

[05:45] just as people who are

[05:46] >> Was he upset about it or

[05:47] >> No, he laughed along with it. I'm pretty

[05:48] sure

[05:49] >> I'm sure like he was he was seven when

[05:51] his dad

[05:52] >> So a little context here though is just

[05:54] before that Tone uh kill Tony uh had

[05:56] gone on stage and made a joke about his

[05:58] dad being in the rubble or something.

[06:01] Uh, and and I instantly I sort of

[06:03] wondered was

[06:05] Pete Davidson's response a reaction to

[06:07] that? Maybe like he had the joke on

[06:08] standby and he was thinking about using

[06:10] it, maybe he wasn't, but then once Kill

[06:12] Tony did that, he was like, I'm

[06:13] definitely doing it now.

[06:14] >> Well, and maybe,

[06:15] >> but I don't think so because 10 years

[06:16] ago in the roast of Pete Davidson, it

[06:18] was already such a topic. It was very

[06:20] public. This is ground that's been tread

[06:22] before. So, it probably didn't shock

[06:23] him. And I do wonder if maybe not even

[06:26] just a reaction specifically to Tony's

[06:28] joke, but just a reaction overall that

[06:30] you know Pete Davidson was seven when

[06:32] his dad died. He has been in comedy. So

[06:34] I think he is a lot more used to these

[06:36] kinds of jokes which I think are gross.

[06:38] But maybe for him they're not as

[06:41] personal because he's had to separate

[06:43] himself from that. But I would have

[06:45] loved for him to have thought about,

[06:47] hey, I grew up without my dad. There are

[06:49] two kids out there who are growing up

[06:50] without their dad right now. And the

[06:52] less difficult I can make this on them

[06:55] throughout their lives, the better. Like

[06:57] I think that it's I think it's gross to

[07:01] what? Yes, it's so close. Like I think

[07:02] that's what the Hollywood Reporter said

[07:03] or

[07:04] >> it was too soon. The audience didn't

[07:06] care for it

[07:06] >> to make these jokes the audience didn't

[07:07] care for it. But I think like I said,

[07:09] it's not a question of sure you're

[07:10] allowed to say these things, but I think

[07:12] we should all be thinking about should

[07:14] we say these things when they are one so

[07:17] many people that are affected by this.

[07:18] two, it was so public. And three, there

[07:21] is a family growing up there without

[07:23] their dad. And th this is not going to

[07:25] be helpful or age well at all.

[07:27] >> This I have a I have a few thoughts on

[07:29] this. I would say as far as getting

[07:32] upset about it, I think there's other

[07:34] humor I've seen from other people that

[07:37] makes me a lot more upset. Like I would

[07:39] say stuff that happened basically right

[07:42] away. uh dunking on Erica over like

[07:46] while she's very clearly grieving. I

[07:48] found that a lot more appalling than

[07:51] this. I didn't like this. I'm not going

[07:53] to laugh at it. But in a sense, what we

[07:56] are being reminded of is Charlie is an

[07:59] iconic figure, a very famous figure. He

[08:03] even people who didn't follow Charlie's

[08:05] stuff while he was alive, his death was

[08:08] basically the biggest news story in the

[08:11] country for that entire

[08:13] >> rest of the year,

[08:13] >> arguably the entire year.

[08:15] >> And so a lot of people are going to have

[08:18] knowledge of that, a reaction to that,

[08:19] an understanding of that moment. And

[08:21] that's going to lead to comedy. If you

[08:23] want an example, people make jokes about

[08:26] the JFK assassination. Uh, and they've

[08:28] been doing making humor out of that for

[08:31] a long time. And I don't think those

[08:33] jokes will ever be funny if you're RFK

[08:36] Jr. or if you're someone from his

[08:38] family, but it's just it's inevitable

[08:39] because they're such a cultural

[08:41] touchstone.

[08:42] And

[08:43] >> yeah, and I I agree. I think this is

[08:44] inevitable. Like at some point I feel

[08:46] sort of just bound to the fact that

[08:48] >> I am now facing an existence where I'm

[08:51] going to get media inquiries for the

[08:52] foreseeable future because people

[08:54] reference

[08:54] >> in in a dark way. I am I am happy that

[08:58] Charlie is an iconic figure because he

[09:00] deserves to be

[09:01] >> and it's going to have a lot of upside

[09:03] for faith, for revival, for setting a

[09:05] role model for conservatives, but the

[09:07] downside is he's going to be a subject

[09:09] of humor because anything great is

[09:12] subject to humor.

[09:13] >> It show there we were sort of talking

[09:15] about how uh Kill Tony and Charlie I

[09:18] don't I wouldn't say they were friends

[09:19] or or anything close, but they did know

[09:21] each other. mutuals. There were there

[09:23] was a a time especially before the

[09:25] election when comedy and the

[09:29] conservative movement were kind of

[09:30] conjoining forces. All the podcasters

[09:32] were in the mix, right?

[09:33] >> Well, yeah. At the at the Madison Square

[09:35] Garden, he made the joke about Puerto

[09:37] Rico that went by.

[09:38] >> Oh gosh.

[09:39] >> So, we have a picture of them from our

[09:42] inaugural ball and there you can see

[09:45] Tony. The the other thing I would note

[09:47] is it did happen at a roast and I think

[09:49] roast set apart in terms of this is

[09:51] where comedy is really offensive and

[09:55] anything goes and if you don't want to

[09:57] see it you should not watch roast

[09:58] >> yeah I mean I you also can't escape the

[10:01] the clips on the Monday morning

[10:03] >> I still don't like it. I still don't

[10:04] like it but that's where this is going

[10:06] to happen.

[10:06] >> My my my full reaction is uh did I like

[10:10] it? No, of course I didn't. Uh do I find

[10:12] it distasteful? Of course I found it

[10:14] distasteful. Am I shocked? Not at all.

[10:16] Hollywood is a pretty dark place and

[10:18] they make pretty runchy, bad,

[10:20] inappropriate jokes. A lot of these guys

[10:23] are just going to do that. So, what are

[10:24] you going to do? To your point, he is an

[10:27] icon. He is a he is a figure of history

[10:29] now. And uh that has upsides, that has

[10:31] downside. So, it is what it is. And

[10:34] here's what I here's what I love about

[10:36] noble gold is, you know, when people are

[10:39] going to buy precious metals, and we can

[10:41] talk about why they should and why they

[10:42] should consider as part of their

[10:44] portfolio, and we will, but you know,

[10:46] here's what I know. You are honest and

[10:49] trustworthy. You have integrity. People

[10:51] love doing business with your your

[10:53] company, and you charge. You know,

[10:54] people don't realize this. There's a lot

[10:56] of shysters out there where like if you

[10:57] buy this much gold, they they mark it up

[11:00] a long long way and then you as in the

[11:04] audience that thought you were getting

[11:05] an investment vehicle, you got to you

[11:06] got gold's got to like double in value

[11:08] before you make your money back. That's

[11:09] not what happens at Noble Gold. You guys

[11:12] are like the industry leader as far as

[11:14] fairness on the pricing and uh that's

[11:17] how awesome you guys are.

[11:22] Producer Angelo had some very good

[11:23] thoughts on it, which he just pointed

[11:24] out because we said it was at a roast.

[11:26] Roasts are offensive humor. And he says,

[11:28] "The point of a roast is to cross the

[11:30] line, but you keep receipts on everyone

[11:34] who crossed those lines and the people

[11:36] who laughed at it, those are the stakes.

[11:38] Those are the rules."

[11:40] >> So Pete Davidson, you crossed the line.

[11:42] >> So anything goes with Pete Davidson

[11:44] jokes.

[11:45] >> We should host a roast.

[11:46] >> Yeah, we're going to we're going to do a

[11:47] roast of Pete Davidson.

[11:49] >> Oh dear. He should come in studio. I bet

[11:51] that would actually that would be great.

[11:52] We should get Pete Davidson and Kill

[11:54] Tony right here.

[11:55] >> We'll have to make sure that we are

[11:57] capable of making funny funny jokes

[11:58] first. But

[11:59] >> uh I could make some funny jokes about

[12:01] Pete Davidson. All right. Um

[12:04] >> he did just have a baby like around the

[12:05] same time I did.

[12:06] >> Did he really?

[12:07] >> Yeah. Four and a half.

[12:09] >> Kids can't have babies.

[12:10] >> Him and I believe it's his wife, but him

[12:13] and Elsie Hwitt had a baby

[12:15] >> and Yeah.

[12:16] >> He's married. I don't know if they got

[12:19] married, but I know that they he was

[12:23] >> they have obviously um done married

[12:26] things having babies

[12:28] >> with his partner welcomed their first

[12:29] child on December 12th, 2025.

[12:32] >> Anyway, we'll keep that in mind.

[12:33] >> Yeah, we we have the receipts there. Uh

[12:35] Mr. Davidson and uh we probably will use

[12:38] them because why not? You did. Um all

[12:40] right, so I want to get into this story.

[12:42] We haven't talked much about it.

[12:43] President Trump gave and I I I do feel

[12:45] obligated to sort of give the, you know,

[12:48] necessary. We're going to get into it

[12:49] with Citizen Kaine in the next segment,

[12:51] but uh Iran is in a stalemate still.

[12:54] They sent a I guess a counter proposal

[12:58] to President Trump. He didn't like it

[12:59] over the weekend. So, we're monitoring

[13:01] that story. We're keeping tabs on the

[13:02] Iran story. But in the meantime, there

[13:05] is a haunt vir virus outbreak and we

[13:08] have not talked about it at all because

[13:10] you know it's kind of like

[13:11] >> we don't want to feed the next co.

[13:13] >> Yeah. We don't we don't want masks and

[13:14] we don't want like mass hysteria. Um two

[13:18] weeks to control the spread.

[13:19] >> I will tell you people on TikTok are

[13:20] getting PTSD already.

[13:22] >> Yeah. Oh dear.

[13:22] >> You know, it's like I totally agree.

[13:24] This is why I'm bringing it up because

[13:26] I've seen some ridiculous I guess uh

[13:30] reactions online and so we want to deal

[13:31] with that. Uh let's go ahead and play ST

[13:34] 22.

[13:35] >> CDC teams are working side by side with

[13:38] Asper, with UNMC, and with state and

[13:40] local officials to conduct assessments

[13:42] and provide ongoing monitoring and care.

[13:46] This this is what strong public health

[13:49] system looks like. Experienced

[13:51] professional, seamless coordination, and

[13:53] a shared commitment to protecting the

[13:55] American people. We will continue to

[13:58] follow the science. We will stay

[13:59] vigilant. and we will keep the public

[14:01] informed every step of the way.

[14:05] >> All right. So there I mean obviously

[14:07] this is you know we've got we've got the

[14:10] assistant secretary of health admiral

[14:12] Brian Christine on the CDC's response to

[14:14] the honor virus. That means they're

[14:15] bringing out you know official people

[14:17] making sure everybody feels safe and

[14:19] secure. So there was a a cruise ship.

[14:20] This is uh another example of why cruise

[14:24] ships can be problematic. Actually a lot

[14:26] of people love cruise ships. I'm not

[14:28] saying you shouldn't do them, but this

[14:29] does seem to be remember when we

[14:30] >> That was also a thought topic at one

[14:32] point.

[14:32] >> Corona virus was a cruise ship. Remember

[14:34] we had I forget what the the name of

[14:36] that cruise ship was, but

[14:37] >> you're right. I totally forgot about it

[14:39] was stuck out there and it was kind of

[14:41] like the first petri dish for people to

[14:43] study because five or six people on that

[14:45] ship died, didn't they? I think they

[14:47] were stuck on the ship with the dead

[14:49] passengers.

[14:50] >> Yeah. Yeah, they were. And it was kind

[14:52] of like a a test case to see what the

[14:54] survival rate was, what, you know, how

[14:56] it was going. So, here's the truth about

[14:58] haunt virus is that it can be passed

[15:01] person to person, but it's very rare.

[15:03] And I've heard the description of it is

[15:05] that it is uh inefficient. And then, so

[15:08] I get into the office and Daisy's like,

[15:10] "Well, it's in Arizona now." I'm like,

[15:12] "Wait, what? We have confirmed cases?"

[15:13] That's not quite the case.

[15:15] >> There are, I think, five states that

[15:16] they're monitoring. It was New Mexico,

[15:19] >> California,

[15:20] >> California, Arizona, Washington, New

[15:23] Jersey,

[15:24] >> and Virginia.

[15:25] >> Yes. Oh, and it says Georgia as of May

[15:27] 26.

[15:27] >> Okay. So, what that mean?

[15:28] >> Sorry, not Washington.

[15:29] >> Yeah. No, not Washington. So, okay. That

[15:31] that what this means is there were

[15:33] people on board the cruise ship that

[15:36] have been flown back. They went to uh I

[15:38] believe Nebraska and they're being

[15:40] monitored for if they exhibit any signs

[15:44] of the haunt virus.

[15:45] >> Yes. Also, I just need to apologize. I

[15:47] was reading the previous highest states

[15:49] that had it. The current states,

[15:51] Arizona, California, Georgia, New

[15:53] Jersey, Texas, and Virginia. Those are

[15:55] the states that are being monitored.

[15:56] >> Monitored monitor. They don't have some

[15:58] huge outbreak. Okay.

[15:59] >> They're tracking residents from the

[16:00] cruise ship.

[16:01] >> The haunt virus is about 30 to 40% uh

[16:04] fatal.

[16:06] >> So,

[16:06] >> I've never even heard of it. Have you

[16:07] guys heard of it before?

[16:08] >> Yeah, I've heard of it. I've heard of

[16:09] it. Uh but it's not a very common

[16:11] disease. Uh it's just I don't know if

[16:14] they have any intel yet on where this

[16:17] originated from but uh we will get uh

[16:20] the assistant secretary in his own words

[16:22] again explaining comforting you out

[16:24] there that this is not co 2.0 you know s

[16:27] 21

[16:29] >> and let me be clear let me be crystal

[16:31] clear the risk of h virus to the general

[16:34] public remains very very low thees

[16:38] variant of this virus does not spread

[16:40] easily and it requires prolonged close

[16:43] contact with someone who is already

[16:44] symptomatic

[16:46] even so we have taken this situation

[16:49] very seriously

[16:51] >> yeah so

[16:52] >> so that's usually how it is if a disease

[16:54] is going to have that high of uh

[16:56] fatality. It does at least spread more

[17:00] slowly with more difficulty. It's like

[17:02] Ebola. Ebola is like absolutely horrible

[17:04] virus, but you only got it by direct

[17:07] contact with body fluids as opposed to

[17:10] aerosol. Yeah, exactly.

[17:11] >> That was what made CO particularly

[17:13] challenging is the way it spread, you

[17:15] know. And by the way, I got the OG CO

[17:17] cuz I went to Florida.

[17:19] >> Uh

[17:20] >> never had it. My husband's gotten every

[17:22] single

[17:24] thought it was a cold. Now, now you know

[17:26] COVID corona virus is uh it's like

[17:29] basically the common cold at this point.

[17:31] Uh it's weakened over time, but the OG

[17:33] was was the original uh CO was

[17:37] legitimately it would not

[17:38] >> The panic was the panic was it was the

[17:40] Diamond Princess and 700 people on the

[17:43] ship got infected and as many as 14 of

[17:45] them died. They says seven to 14. I

[17:47] don't know how they have that big of a

[17:48] range for this discrete group of people,

[17:50] but that's what happened them panicking.

[17:52] >> They made a documentary about it. Did

[17:54] they

[17:54] >> co cruise? Yeah,

[17:55] >> co cruise. Goodness, it's going to be a

[17:57] horrible what I need more documentary.

[17:58] >> Yeah, exactly. All right, but here's the

[18:00] bottom line. Do not panic. This is an

[18:02] inefficient humanto human spreader. This

[18:05] is not CO 2.0. And even if they tried to

[18:07] start doing that stuff, we will fight

[18:08] back. We will lead the charge.
