Eddie Bravo Understands Republican "Family Values" Now | Joe Rogan

We were talking about earlier, I really am happy that the comedy scene is slowly getting braver with jokes. It seems like, it's a weird thing because in the 80s it was like the cool thing to be a liberal and I'm Democrat and Republicans, they're just Christians, they have family values, they don't want to get hired, go to heavy metal concerts, fuck Republicans. But as you get older and you have kids, and I don't know what happened, I don't know what happened but it seems like now the cool kids are Republicans. Well do you know what I mean? You know that expression, show me a young man who's not a liberal and I'll show you a man with no heart, show me an old man who's not conservative and I'll show you a man with no brain. There you go. There's certain aspects of me that have become more conservative as I've gotten older. I appreciate hard work more, I understand the mental pitfalls involved in self-pitying and a lot of the things. Family values, man. That's the number one thing. Because when I grew up there were no family values and I thought family values is a way to control you. They're trying to control you with the family values in Christ. And the older you get you're like, I was a fucking idiot. Of course it's all about family. You gotta have values. A dude with no values is a dude you can't trust worth of shit. It's also when you have something to lose you realize that everybody has something to lose and it puts you in like you commiserate with all the other people that also have families. You all feel that's one thing when you go to like family gatherings and everyone's got their kids like you feel about their kids the way you feel about your kids like you want to look out as if you're going near the stairs. This is what communities and tribes used to be like. Like we gravitate towards that. It's good for everybody. Yeah, it's like you know what? I used to think growing up that giving in to your desires was like that you're right. That's my right. If I'm horny I'm gonna fuck. If I want to party I'm gonna drink in these fucking right wing people from Alabama. They're trying to throw Jesus down my throat and trying to push you know push their family values and but I swear now dude I'm not Republican. I'm not claiming Republican at all or anything but I get it now. I get it because I have a kid and there's no way anybody is gonna convince me that because some fucking kid with pink hair all looped up on pharmaceuticals shoots up a mall that it makes sense that I give up my guns and I can't protect my family. These are long comp- we're gonna get in the weeds. Explain that to me. We're gonna get in the weeds and we branch off in all these different directions but I know what you're saying is like as you get older especially when you have family but what it's made me is it's made me way more compassionate and way more understanding.
