What's up?
Yeah!
Yeah!
What's up, Johannesburg?
What's up, New York?
What's up, London?
Ah! Yes, I'm in Jo'burg!
I finally made it!
Whoo! Now let's hope I make it
the f*ck out of here.
Cos it is violent right about now!
And I ain't talking about the jungle.
Man, oh, man, it's good to be here, man!
It is so good to be here.
The first time
I'm ever playing Africa.
Africa, first time playing
Africa, South Africa.
I was on safari with my family,
out there taking pictures of the animals.
And you're driving around, and you
got this guy what you call the tracker.
The tracker is amazing
cos you just driving around
and the tracker goes,
"Stop, stop, stop, stop."
And you stop the jeep
and he leans down
and puts his finger
in some piss.
He's like...
"15 miles to the right should be zebra."
And you get there and there's zebra!
There's zebra! Wow! Zebra!
And you drivin' some more
and "Stop, stop, stop."
Then he leans down and picks up
a little shit pellet and...
"Mmm! Ah! Mmm..."
"13 miles to the left, rhinoceros."
And you get there and
there's a rhino right there!
You're like, "How the f*ck's he do this shit?"
And it was beautiful.
I'm out there taking pictures of the rhino,
I took the pictures of the zebra.
And I was having a good time and I'm out
there with my family and I felt great,
till I looked over at another jeep
and I saw a bunch of white people
taking pictures of me.
I didn't see a...
Hey, I ain't no animal!
But they had a tracker
tracking my black ass.
Evidently, I musta dropped
some chicken or su'um at another spot,
and they're like, "Ah, chicken bone.
13 miles to the left, n*ggers will be there."
This is a crazy time, man.
This is the time to be onstage.
This is the time to do a special, man.
Cos this is a special time.
A lot's going on right now, that's right.
Big election year in the United States.
It ain't your election, but you paying
attention. You damn right you are.
That's right.
George Bush has f*cked up so bad...
he made it hard for a white man
to run for president.
People are like,
"Give me a black man, a white woman,
"a giraffe, a zebra,
anything but another white man!
"That last one f*cked up my roof."
Now who do we have running for president?
Who the hell is running for president?
We got two guys, man.
We got John McCain.
John McCain, 72 years old.
He was too old 10 years ago.
72!
He's so old, he used to own Sidney Poitier.
Come on, man. I don't need
a president with a bucket list.
72 years old!
My God. How many 72-year-old people
did you see today just doing shit?
72... Old people don't even use old people
to do shit.
Seventy-f*ckin'-two.
Two! You see he hired his nurse
to be his vice president too.
What the f*ck is on her mind?
Sarah Palin, out there
shooting mooses and shit,
and holding up the moose and shit.
I see her holding a dead moose,
I'm like, "What the f*ck is
Michael Vick in jail for?"
She shot a moose!
What the f*ck?
My God!
John McCain, how you gonna
make decisions about the future
when you ain't gonna be here?
He's old!
The motherf*cker's too old.
When you die at 72,
no matter what you die of,
it's natural causes.
Even if you get hit by a truck,
it's natural causes.
Cos if you was younger,
you'd have got out the way.
Then, you know, you got a real choice, man,
Barack or McCain.
They tryin' to...
McCain just got that old story.
This motherf*cker been telling the
same story for 40 f*ckin' years.
He a war hero.
He a war hero.
He a war hero...
that got captured.
There's a lot of guys
in jail that got captured.
