    He’s NOT the source though, just the facilitator.

    The source is the statistics he quotes and without checking, I’m pretty sure those are linked in the video description as is common practice.

      So what? It’s like pointing out the sky is blue. He got some internet fame a couple of years ago for being good at handling hecklers. This entire video is a pathetic attempt at capitalizing from mindless political outrage and the entire format of the video is nothing more than pandering in the hope that he gets blessed by the algorithm. I don’t disagree with the statement, I disagree with the format.
      Most comedians are dumb as shit and we should demand higher quality when we consume political content. A ten year old could make this video (with sources).

        You sound unreasonably angry about this, even personally so. Did a comedian sleep with you and never call? Did your wife leave you for a YouTube content creator?

        Or are you just a misguided curmudgeon insisting that the medium is more important than the message?

            Dude, your entire point is an ad hominem about the dude who made the video with a bit of “medium is more important than the message” nonsense sprinkled on top 🤦
