Sounded dead serious to me, and it is coming from someone who will be 100% fine during any recession. "Would you rather have your job/home or......Democracy.......hahaha no I'll have my TV show and millions of dollars either way". It might have been comedy/satire if he acknowledge how pompous he sounds.
I did not watch the rest of the show, but this clip is not comedy, it's regular political commentary/bickering with the addition of a cheer track.
- ghaff 8y agoSounds to me like something that falls into the half-joking category. It's of the form, hate to say it but $BAD_THING would be worth it if it would get rid of the president/congress/etc. where you can make $BAD_THING arbitrarily bad until it's pretty outrageous and is obviously not meant to be taken seriously.
