- Sometimes people can be so woke though, that they almost undermine what they were trying to do in the first place. But like, by mistake. A good example is one day I was walking with a group of my friends, right? A group of friends and I was the only non-white person in the group, and then someone shouted from across the road, they were just like, hey, you monkey! And then my friend was like, oh man, Trevor, I'm so sorry about that. (audience laughing) And I was like, wait, how do you know he was talking to me? (audience laughing) And he was like, oh no, 'cause he said the racist thing, and then I was like, no, he said the monkey. (audience laughing) How do you know he was talking to me? And he was like, well, I mean, cause I mean... (audience laughing) It can't be any of us. Then I was like, no, you look more monkey than I do. What are you talking about? This is just about monkey feet, it could be anyone's a monkey. Could be the way we walk, could be the actual monkeys behind us, could be... (audience laughing) Yeah, but it was like a funny moment where I was like, you know, you think you're being all, oh, you know I'm... There was a moment like that for me in the Joe Kennedy rebuttal. He said something that was really amazing, don't get me wrong, it was really beautiful and amazing, but I feel like he undercut the message that him and the Democrats have been trying to create for a long time, and it was about the dreamers. I wonder if they can find the clip. But if they do... There's a clip of Joe Kennedy when he speaks Spanish, if you guys can try... Have you got that? - And to all the dreamers out there watching tonight, let me be absolutely clear. (speaking foreign language) (audience cheering) - You see, now, that's amazing. It's amazing because it's like, yo, the guy can speak Spanish, and it's a great moment. The only issue I have is, the whole premise of the Dreamers is that they're American, just like everybody else. Now, I'm not saying Spanish not American, I'm not saying that, but I'm saying you've said these Dreamers are kids who have been brought to America at such a young age that they only know America, this is the only life they've ever lived, and you're like, these are Americans, they just haven't been afforded the opportunity to be born here, their parents brought them here. They're like, they're Americans, we are Americans together, and to the Dreamers, (speaking foreign language). And it's like, yeah, but why didn't you just speak to them in English as well? Because now if someone else is watching they're like, wait, I thought you said they were American. They don't speak English? And it's like, no, no, I was speaking to them in... You undermine what you're trying... It would be the equivalent of Joe Biden, if Jo Biden was giving a speech during birtherism, and he was like, President Barack Obama was born in America. He was not born in Kenya. Stay strong, Barry. (speaking foreign language) (audience laughing)
